Chapter 151

In the fourth round, only sixty-eight candidates remained; they only needed to eliminate eight people to decide the Dragon-Ascending spots.

So in this match, candidates with bad luck had to fight three matches.

The first match selected thirty-four people to advance, the thirty-four losers continued to fight, and another seventeen winners were selected to advance.

The seventeen losers continued to fight the third match, which was just enough to select nine people, adding up to exactly sixty Dragon-Ascending spots.

"Try to win the first match."

Xu Yang didn't want to fight three matches: "C-7."

He glanced at the slip in his hand and returned to the C-category ring again.

Lu Ren and Gu Fang were also on the C-category ring; Lu Ren's state had recovered a bit, but he still looked a bit listless.

Liu Qian was also on the C-category ring, and her state looked quite good; the two nodded slightly, which counted as a greeting.

He also saw Kong Yu, Jiang Yi, and the genius from the Spirit Monkey Fist Hall who had comprehended the mystery of dark strength, Qin Ze.

Soon, Gu Haoming also appeared on the C-category ring, standing with Gu Fang and Lu Ren.

"Too many experts!"

Of those qualified to charge into the top three, two were assigned to the C-category ring, and there was also Kong Yu, the genius known as the number one in innate talent this year.

The fighting began quickly, and the first to take the stage was actually Gu Fang.

And her opponent was none other than Qin Ze.

Xu Yang saw that when she knew her opponent was Qin Ze, her face turned green.

It wasn't because she would lose to Qin Ze, but because Qin Ze, as a potential seed with the strength to charge into the top three, was Gu Haoming's formidable enemy.

And she, as a pawn charging and fighting for Gu Haoming, had to try her best to consume the true qi of Gu Haoming's opponent in this situation, and could not concede at all.

She naturally wanted to ascend the dragon, but she didn't expect to run into Qin Ze, and she had to fight for her life.

"Concede, I don't want to hurt you." Qin Ze looked coldly at Gu Fang, who hadn't conceded immediately.

"Arrogant!"

Under the gaze of Gu Haoming below the stage, Gu Fang had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

With a light shout, her figure suddenly disappeared from where she was, and she used the Gu family's secret martial art, the Eighteen Scattered Hands, as soon as she made a move.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing Gu Fang not listening to persuasion and insisting on making a move, a fierce light flashed in Qin Ze's eyes; did she really think that just because she was a woman, he wouldn't be ruthless?

Sinister dark strength lay dormant between his palms and fingers, and he immediately blasted out a punch.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two muffled sounds came in succession; Gu Fang actually ignored Qin Ze's fist, letting Qin Ze's fist blast onto her body, while she took this opportunity to also chop Qin Ze with a palm.

Crazy woman!

Many people had such a thought at this moment, actually trading injury for injury with Qin Ze.

Qin Ze's body-protecting true qi was torn, his whole body shook, and he was blasted back three steps by Gu Fang's scattered hand, his face flushed, his blood surging.

A muffled sound came from Gu Fang's body, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her body thrown from the ring.

"Senior Sister Gu!" Lu Ren let out a sharp scream.

Being blasted by Qin Ze with dark strength, even if Gu Fang didn't die, her internal organs would be heavily injured.

Everything happened in an instant; many people didn't even react, and the winner was already decided.

Gu Haoming leaped up, catching Gu Fang, who was falling off the ring, in mid-air.

One could see that Gu Fang's face was as white as paper, her eyes tightly closed, her features twisted in pain, her body twitching uncontrollably.

His gaze suddenly looked at Qin Ze on the ring: "You dare to be so ruthless?"

Qin Ze looked down from above, mocking: "I didn't expect you, Gu Haoming, to be so ridiculous. In order to charge into the top three, you didn't hesitate to let your own sister charge and fight, and now that she's been injured, you turn around and blame me for being ruthless.

Could it be that only she can hit me, and I can't hit her?"

If Gu Haoming really cared about his sister, he would have persuaded her to concede, rather than forcing her to fight.

Now that she was injured and he questioned him, it was just to set up a memorial arch for himself; a shameless, hypocritical villain.

Lu Ren's heart was also filled with grief at this moment; Gu Haoming could disregard his own sister's life for the top three. If he followed such a person, would he really have a good end in the future?

"You had better not run into me." Gu Haoming said coldly, but in reality, he was secretly happy.

He didn't continue to say much, worried that his shameless, hypocritical face would be exposed by Qin Ze.

He knew the power of the Gu family's scattered hands; although Gu Fang's palm strike didn't heavily injure Qin Ze, he was definitely injured. When he met Qin Ze, he already had the certainty of winning; now he just needed to solve Han Xing.

If he could also injure Han Xing, it would be very likely for him to become one of the top three.

"C-7, take the stage!"

It was Xu Yang's turn to take the stage again; hearing the proctor's voice, he immediately leaped up.

At the same time, Lu Ren also leaped onto the ring in one step.

The moment they saw each other, both were stunned.

In all directions, people who knew both were also stunned, followed by an uproar.

"Lu Ren and Xu Yang have met."

"The two have been chasing each other, and today they are finally going to have a real duel."

"Pity Lu Ren doesn't seem to be in his peak state; this duel seems a bit unfair."

……

The Gu family line and the Weiyuan Hall disciples all looked over.

"I've always wanted to have a duel with you; I didn't expect to meet here…"

Lu Ren smiled, having a sense of relief at having his wish fulfilled.

Back then, he showed off in front of Xu Yang when he reached Qi Gathering Major Success, and was exposed by Xu Yang, unable to step down; he had once threatened Xu Yang not to meet him on the martial arts examination ring.

At that time, he was anxious and really wanted to teach Xu Yang a lesson, but now that they really met on the ring, his state of mind was very different, not as angry as before.

"Come on!" Xu Yang's tone was flat.

He actually didn't want to meet Lu Ren on such an occasion; stealing Lu Ren's limelight was not a good thing, and would only make those aristocratic families stare at him.

Back then, Lu Ren abandoned the Huang family; although there were various reasons, there must also be factors that Lu Ren couldn't afford to offend the Gu family, and could only bear the infamy.

He also didn't need to defeat Lu Ren to prove he was better; it wasn't worth it to bring trouble for a bit of vanity, and he never cared about others saying he was not as good as Lu Ren.

But this match was also very critical, deciding the Dragon-Ascending spot, so he couldn't lose.

"The examination is not our end; I still want to ascend the dragon, and you also have the hope of ascending the dragon. How about we stop when we reach the point?"

Lu Ren said lightly, not wanting to fight Xu Yang to the point of mutual injury, and even less wanting to fight to the death.

Xu Yang nodded: "Good!"

Although the two were not on good terms, he didn't want to kill Lu Ren and offend the Gu family line.

It wasn't that it would be over after the examination; later they would enter martial arts sects, and killing for a few words of youthful spirit was unwise, and Lu Ren had never moved to kill him either.

"Be careful!"

A tyrannical aura vibrated from Lu Ren's body, and his whole momentum changed.

"This is the Eighteen Scattered Hands."

He didn't use the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan, but used the Eighteen Scattered Hands learned from the Gu family; this was also the reason he had always thought Xu Yang was not as good as him.

In terms of killing, martial arts like the Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan were not as good as the secret martial arts of aristocratic families.

The Gu family's Eighteen Scattered Hands included fists, palms, claws, fingers, and legs; they were ruthless and precise, and the seemingly simple moves contained unimaginable killing intent.

Gu Fang's cultivation was much worse than Qin Ze's, but she was able to tear open Qin Ze's body-protecting true qi with one palm and injure Qin Ze; from this, one could imagine the power of this martial art.
