After a half-hour break, the judge on the stage signaled the four contestants to prepare to take the stage.
Swish, brush, brush...
The four people headed by Liu Hao immediately boarded the ring.
At this time, below the ring, everyone's eyes once again fell on the ring.
Now, the four people still standing on the stage are the top four figures in this resource competition.
Among these four people, only Liu Hao's strength was not fully demonstrated.
In other words, so far, no one knows Liu Hao's true background.
Therefore, more attention actually fell on the competition between Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue.
"Let me remind you that the gravity field of the arena is increasing, so this battle, including the subsequent battles, will be at least eight times more gravity!"
At this time, on the stage, the judge spoke again, "Now, I ask you, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
The moment the four of them stood on the ring, they had already sensed the increase in gravity.
Moreover, the intensity of this gravity is not eight times what the judge said.
But to nine times.
If it is nine times now, then the decisive battle will be at least ten times, and it may be even higher.
However, for them, they have been mentally prepared for it.
Therefore, there is no such thing as panic.
"Well, I will announce now that the semi-finals battle is official..."
The judge waved his hand and said, "Start!"
…
Whoosh!
As the judge's words fell, Jiang Chenglong and Yang Qinghu acted simultaneously on the lower half of the arena.
In the blink of an eye, it entered a state of combat.
However, in the first half, neither Liu Hao nor Zhong Qiyue moved.
In the sight of everyone, Zhong Qiyue spoke just as the judge finished speaking.
However, due to the barrier, no one knew what Zhong Qiyue said.
All I know is that neither of them took action.
"What are these two people discussing?"
"What does the devil know?"
"Could it be said that these two people have a relationship?"
"I haven't heard of any friendship between these two people! On the contrary, it seems that Zhong Qiyue deliberately provoked Liu Hao when he entered this place to adapt, right?"
"..."
No one quite understands what Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue are doing.
…
And on the stage.
Zhong Qiyue and Liu Hao were indeed discussing things.
The first one to speak was indeed Zhong Qiyue.
When the judge said the competition was about to begin, Zhong Qiyue said, "Brother Liu Hao, how about we discuss it?"
Liu Hao looked at Zhong Qiyue and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Liu Hao didn't have much favorable impressions of the Zhong Qiyue in front of him.
After all, when adapting to the battlefield in this field, the other party had offended me before.
Of course, although I don't have much favorable impressions, I also don't have much dislike.
After all, from the beginning to the end, this person never really caused trouble for him, or came to ridicule or provoke him.
Therefore, when the other party said that they wanted to discuss it, Liu Hao felt a little strange.
At the same time, I was also wary of possible sneak attacks from the other side.
"I have entered the top four, and the sect's mission has been completed. It would be better if I could get a higher ranking. However, after meeting you, I gave up that idea."
Zhong Qiyue said, "Well, I can admit defeat, but after all, I am also the chief disciple of Gu Xuan Sect. If I directly admit defeat, it would be too looked down upon. Therefore, I have two small requests."
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned slightly.
Asked, "Do you want to negotiate terms with me?"
Zhong Qiyue smiled and nodded, saying, "It's not a condition, just two small requests."
Liu Hao shook his head and said, "Do you think I will negotiate terms with you if I am sure to win this competition?"
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I said, it's not a condition, it's just two small requests."
Zhong Qiyue waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu Hao, don't be impatient. Listen to me first."
"I said, I have entered the semi-finals, and my mission here this time has been completed."
"Next, even if I admit defeat, there is nothing the sect can do against me."
"It's just that if I really give up like this, I'm afraid, some people will say that I'm letting myself go."
"To be honest, I don't think I can win you."
"If I really want to take action, the most I can do is cause you some trouble, and maybe even get you hurt."
"But, I think I still have a chance to surrender."
"It's just that I don't want to take the risk when I know there's no way to win."
"So, I have two small requests."
"First, I hope you can show your true strength."
"Secondly, I hope to make friends with you."
"These two requests are just for the sake of dignity."
"Lest others say I am too incompetent."
Hearing this, Liu Hao was also stunned for a moment.
If, there are just two requirements like this.
That's really not too much.
There is no need to fight, as long as you show your strength, Liu Hao really can't find any reason to refuse.
So, he said, "If you are really willing to admit defeat, then there is no need to make friends."
Then he said, "It's just that you said I would show my true strength. How do you want me to show it?"
"It's very simple. Show your true realm level. In addition..."
Zhong Qiyue thought for a while and then said, "Well, just show your speed."
"The arena we are in now has nine times the gravity, so my speed is definitely not as good as yours."
"You just need to show your realm level, and then use your speed to show a little bit of strength."
Hearing this, Liu Hao frowned at Zhong Qiyue and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure!"
Zhong Qiyue nodded and said, "Brother Liu Hao, don't worry, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no other thoughts."
"I still recognize your strength."
"You stayed in a field with more than ten times the gravity for eight days and finally stood up."
"With this ability and the strength you showed today, I think I have no chance."
"So, I will never seek death."
After hearing this, Liu Hao nodded.
Whoosh!
Then, Liu Hao moved and rushed towards Zhong Qiyue.
Zhong Qiyue stood there without moving, always maintaining a kind smile on his face.
Swish, brush, brush...
The next moment, Liu Hao's figure suddenly disappeared in front of Zhong Qiyue.
Zhong Qiyue still maintained a smile on his face and never moved his body, just looking around.
Liu Hao's figure was seen moving quickly around his body like a ghost...
…
Under the arena.
"What are you doing?"
"Then Liu Hao attacked, so why didn't Zhong Qiyue move? Even if he didn't move, he was still laughing?"
"What kind of attack is that? Are you always moving next to Zhong Qiyue without him?"
"Are they planning to put on a show for us?"
"..."
Everyone was a little confused by the situation on the field.
I don't quite understand what Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue are doing.
…
Also confused are the figures from various forces above the ring.
On the ancient Xuanzong side.
"What is Zhong Qiyue doing? Just asking the other party to take action, why is there no reaction at all?"
"Didn't he communicate with the other party before? He should have reached some agreement with the other party, right?"
"This is a battle for resources. It is a key battle to win the first place. What agreement does he and Liu Hao have? Is there any good agreement? Can Liu Hao just admit defeat?"
"Maybe?"
"..."
All the elders were speculating.
As for the sect leader, Zhong Hanxuan, he never spoke and just looked down.
…
the other side.
The Diyang Sect is also paying attention to the situation of Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue at this moment.
Because this battle will involve the opponent Yang Qinghu will encounter.
Once Yang Qinghu successfully defeats Jiang Chenglong, his next opponent will be one of Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue.
Therefore, they are also paying attention all the time.
However, they also didn't understand what Liu Hao and Zhong Qiyue were doing.
"Sect Master, do you think that Zhong Qiyue has reached some agreement with Liu Hao, or made some serious promise to Liu Hao, intending to make Liu Hao surrender directly?"
Some elders couldn't help but ask Yang Renyi, the leader of the clan.
"Be careful!"
Yang Renyi did not answer, but pointed to the ring and said, "Then what is Liu Hao doing? What is Zhong Qiyue doing?"
An elder said, "Zhong Qiyue hasn't moved, but Liu Hao keeps moving and doesn't know what he wants to do?"
Another elder said, "No, Liu Hao has never shown his true strength before, but now, the Yuanli reaction shown by your Liu Hao is clearly the Yuanli reaction of the Yuanhuang realm!"
Then, another elder chimed in and said, "Yes, that is the Yuanli reaction of the Yuanhuang realm. What is he going to do?"
Then, some elders didn't understand, "Liu Hao has already shown such strength, why hasn't Zhong Qiyue moved yet? Could it be that after Liu Hao has finished showing his strength, Zhong Qiyue will show it again, with this kind of strength?"
How to compete?"
Yang Renyi shook his head, but did not explain.
He just said, "This first place, as expected, should be Liu Hao's."
"..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, not understanding what it meant.
"you!"
But, the next moment, someone suddenly pointed to the arena below.
…
Just see him on the stage.
Liu Hao suddenly returned to his position.
He stood opposite Zhong Qiyue.
The moment Liu Hao's figure appeared, white ice curtains suddenly formed around Zhong Qiyue's body, surrounding Zhong Qiyue.
Jam!
Jam!
Immediately afterwards, these white ice curtains suddenly broke inch by inch.
It turned into white ice blades.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
These white ice blades suddenly flew towards Zhong Qiyue.
However, they all stopped around Zhong Qiyue's body.
At that moment, Zhong Qiyue was like a hedgehog, a hedgehog filled with white ice blades.
Whoosh whoosh!
But, very quickly, these white ice blades flew out violently and flew towards Liu Hao's body.
The next moment, all these white ice blades submerged into Liu Hao's body and disappeared.
On the arena, calm was restored once again...
…
"Holy crap, what the hell is this? Those white ice blades are special ice elemental powers, right?"
"Then Liu Hao actually controls special Yuan Power. Isn't this too strong?"
"I asked how he dared to bet with Gu Xingyuan. It turns out that he has such a trump card!"
"Haha, if you look like this, Wei Tianqi will die unjustly!"
"..."
Suddenly, waves of exclamations came from everywhere below the arena.
"I surrender!"
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Zhong Qiyue on the stage raised his hand and said these three words.
"..."
"What does it mean?"
"Are you stupid? Don't you understand now? It's obvious that Zhong Qiyue is asking Liu Hao to show his strength. As long as Liu Hao's strength is strong enough, Zhong Qiyue will not fight!"
"Zhong Qiyue is also a figure in the realm of Yuan Sheng after all. Why did he just admit defeat like this? Doesn't he even have the courage to fight?"
"You have the courage, go ahead! If you don't fight in the previous battles, including Wei Tianqi, apart from Hermione who took the initiative to admit defeat, who else is alive?"
"You're right. Zhong Qiyue made such a choice, which shows that Zhong Qiyue is smart and he doesn't want to take this risk."
"Furthermore, it is not impossible for Liu Hao to control the special ice elemental power and kill enemies across levels."
"..."
…
And above the arena.
On top of the mountain.
On the Diyang Sect side.
All the elders frowned.
Some elders said dissatisfiedly, "Is Zhong Qiyue so afraid of death? He doesn't even have the courage to fight?"
But no one answered the question.
Anyone who can become an elder of Diyang Sect is not a fool.
It was obvious that Zhong Qiyue chose to admit defeat because he was afraid of death.
It was precisely because it would be very humiliating to admit defeat directly that Liu Hao was asked to show off his strength.
It can be said that Liu Hao has given Zhong Qiyue a lot of face by exposing his background.
Otherwise, with Liu Hao's strength, it is not impossible to kill Zhong Qiyue.
On the contrary, it is very likely.
Of course, the premise is that it is not exposed.
Yang Renyi said nothing, but stared down at Liu Hao on the ring with slightly focused eyes.
There was a strange color flashing in his eyebrows.
"If Qinghu wins, let him admit defeat!"
The next moment, Yang Renyi suddenly spoke and said.
"..."
All the elders were shocked when they heard this.
"Sect Master, are we going to admit defeat like this? Are we going to give up on the first place?"
"When did our Diyang Sect admit defeat? If word of this spread, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?"
"Yes, Sect Master, with Qinghu's strength, doesn't he even have the strength to fight?"
"..."
They don't care if Zhong Qiyue admits defeat, but they can't stand it from the bottom of their hearts that Yang Qinghu wants to admit defeat.
