In addition to the old students of the Military Department, there are also senior officials from the Suppression and Evil Division and the Military Government.
"Aren't the preliminaries usually three days? Why do they end in one day?"
“I don’t know the details, but I only know that on this day, Gu An’s points were as high as over 15,000 points.
Zhao Teng, who is second, also has more than 9,000 points!"
"Fifteen thousand points? The highest score last year was just over 8,000 points, right? Are they so strong this time?"
"That's right, our class is even more useless this time. The highest score is 5,000."
As soon as these words came out, the old student once again received the resentful eyes of everyone.
Similarly, nearly half of the princes and nobles in the capital also came here.
Gu An and other contestants have already made preparations at the contestants' bench below, quietly waiting for the arrival of Xiao Yuhan and others.
In the palace auditorium, Xiao Qianyu wore a red veil, looked down at Gu An, and asked to the side.
"That one is Gu An."
Wu Yang nodded: "Back to Your Highness, it's him."
"Gee, he looks pretty good, but it's a pity that he's so young and bald..."
"I heard it was caused by the Extreme Yang Battle Body."
"Commander Yi also has a polar-yang combat body, why is he not bald?"
"This subordinate doesn't know something."
While the two were talking, a person came slowly towards the end of the corridor.
"Hello, Seventh Brother! Hey, Sixth Brother, long time no see! Fourth Brother, please come to the palace to play with me when you have time some other time..."
Xiao Qianye smiled and greeted each prince.
He quickly came to Xiao Qianyu and paused for a moment, as if he had discovered something surprising.
"Sister! Why did you come to the palace today, specifically to see my brother?
Long time no see, you look beautiful again!"
"With Gu wearing a veil, how do you tell that Gu has become beautiful again?"
Xiao Qianyu turned around and said quietly.
A pair of touching eyes seems to say, if you can't answer, I will cut you alive.
"Uh... eldest sister, you don't know this. Although I haven't seen my brother recently, who in the capital doesn't know that you are the most beautiful!"
Xiao Qianye rubbed his palms with a smile.
Xiao Qianyu nodded, and his eyes fell on Gu An again below: "I heard that you sent someone to find Gu An to cause trouble a few days ago?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qianye got excited all over. He quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to him.
"Sister, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just a joke with Gu An."
"Just kidding... Okay, just ask me casually." Xiao Qianyu turned to look at the audience: "Go ahead, those uncles are waiting for you to say hello."
"Yes, my little brother will leave first."
Xiao Qianye waited for Xiao Qianyu to nod again, then turned around.
At the moment when his back was completely turned to Xiao Qianyu, a light flashed in Xiao Qianye's eyes and quickly disappeared.
Still with a smile on his face, he walked to where the princes of the Xiao family were sitting.
…
After waiting for a cup of tea.
Gu An saw at the end of the corridor in the distance, Xiao Yuhan and Yi Cheng Xiao Lisheng walking from a distance. Following Xiao Lisheng was Xu Fang, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Following Wei Ting's shout, everyone stood up together, cupped their hands and said, "I respectfully welcome your Majesty."
Xiao Yuhan walked to his seat and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone responded.
Xiao Yuhan looked around and saw that everyone had almost arrived, so he said to the side: "It's time to start."
"yes."
A chamberlain quickly walked to the edge of the high platform and raised his voice.
"His Majesty has ordered that the competition officially begins!"
The two referees below who received the order looked at each other and each took a step forward and shouted at the scoreboard in the middle.
"Arena No. 1, the first match of the quarterfinals, Gu An versus Zhang Shi!"
"Arena No. 2..."
The competition was conducted based on yesterday's rankings. Gu An was first, right up against Zhang Shi, who was eighth.
After a few breaths, Gu An with a smile and Zhang Shi with a bitter look on his face stepped onto the ring.
Waiting for the referee to announce the start of the game, Zhang Shi immediately clicked on surrender.
"If you can't beat me again and again, let's save your strength and try for fifth place. Fifth place sounds better than eighth place."
Zhang Shi's meaning is very simple. If you can't beat Gu An, it's not good to waste your time.
So it is better to admit defeat directly, conserve your strength and start fighting for future opportunities.
After all, others must compete.
If there is a competition, there will be losses. If he attacks with all his strength, he will have a certain advantage.
At least I can get fifth or sixth place.
On the other side of the arena, the freshman who faced Zhao Teng also chose to admit defeat.
When the remaining two groups finish the competition, the ranking competition for the eighth to fifth rankings will be completed.
When Gu An and Zhao Teng appeared again, their opponents also chose to admit defeat.
In this way, Gu An and Zhao Teng entered the finals without a fight.
As one freshman was knocked down on the ring by another, the third and fourth places were decided.
It's time for the finals between Gu An and Zhao Teng.
"Finally it's the finals!"
"If it was before, I didn't know who could win the championship, now, Gu An's chance of winning is definitely much greater.
It was over 6,000 points higher in the preliminaries.”
"I also think Gu An has a much higher winning rate than Zhao Qubing's younger brother. After all, he is not Zhao Qubing."
"..."
Many people, including many princes and nobles, are not optimistic about Zhao Teng.
They judged this based on the results of the two yesterday and Zhao Teng's past strength.
Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao, has top-notch healing abilities and talents, so even Zhao Teng's talents are top-notch.
In this comparison, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.
Therefore, when some people in the capital call Zhao Teng, they like to call him Zhao Qubing's younger brother, or the second eldest son of the Zhao family.
Except for people who are familiar with him and people who are completely unfamiliar with him, no one calls him Zhao Teng...
"I hope you won't hold back." Zhao Teng said solemnly, holding the silver spear he carried that day in his hand.
Gu An paused, looked at Xu Fang who was watching him on the high platform, turned around and smiled.
"When I took action yesterday, you must have seen the gap between you and me. Do you still want to fight when you know that you can't win?"
"want."
Zhao Teng's tone was firm.
Gu An nodded.
"Contestants from both sides greet each other."
"The new student in the military department, Gu An!"
"The new student in the military department, Zhao Teng!"
After the greeting, the two parties distanced themselves.
Following the referee's order, Zhao Teng's eyes froze!
The silver-white spear in his hand made a violent buzzing sound, as if responding to Zhao Teng's call.
The buzzing lasted for two breaths. Zhao Teng flipped his wrist, raised the spear upside down, paused in his steps, and rushed towards Gu An as fast as he could!
Gu An's expression remained unchanged and his right leg was slightly bent.
"Bang!"
As the explosion sounded, Gu An's body was not ignited with energy and blood, and he faced Zhao Teng head-on!
