Chapter 1206: The Hunt King

Li Yao's words

left the elderly man lost in thought.

Li Yao did not disturb him

and focused his attention on the platform.

In this round, Kong Jiamu was drawn, and his opponent was also an acquaintance, Yun Hejiang,

a seeded player from the Magic-Martial Academy.

He had slapped the other party in the face, so he roughly knew Yun Hejiang's strength.

It would be very difficult for Kong Jiamu to win,

and he would have to pay a heavy price!

It had to be said, this kid's luck was truly terrible!

Meeting a strong enemy right at the start would have a huge impact on the subsequent matches!

Li Yao didn't think too much about it;

there were always some 'unlucky' people in the world.

"Li Yao," Lin Lao's voice sounded.

Li Yao turned back and found that the old man's face was extremely ugly.

"You didn't tell me everything, did you?"

"If it were only the Titan race and the Demigod race, it shouldn't be enough to make you determined not to let the Dragon Nation set foot in the Abyss."

"I guess, is there another unknown race,"

"whose threat level even exceeds that of the Demigods?"

Li Yao was silent for a moment.

He had underestimated this Dragon Nation general too much.

Seeing Li Yao's expression, Lin Lao knew he had guessed correctly.

But there was no joy in being right, only endless silence.

After a long while, he sighed: "I understand your reason now."

Lin Lao gave a bitter smile again.

"Having said so much, you should also know the Dragon Nation's attitude toward you."

"Free-range and support."

"We will not interfere with your decisions, and we will unconditionally support your decisions."

"I can guarantee you that without your permission, no Dragon Nation practitioner will explore the Abyss."

"Li Yao, don't think this old man is being long-winded."

"I support you going to the Abyss, but you must remember,"

"no matter what the benefits are, for the Dragon Nation, you are more important than anything!"

"Take care on your trip to the Abyss."

Li Yao was moved, "Alright, thank you for your concern, Lin Lao."

"Haha!" Lin Lao laughed heartily, "Isn't this kid the genius you think highly of?"

"Your eye for talent is truly sharp; just relying on this discarded equipment, he can fight the Yun family's kid to a standstill."

The two's conversation returned to the Newcomer Competition.

A few minutes later,

Kong Jiamu stood on the platform covered in wounds,

while beside him, Yun Hejiang had once again fallen into a coma.

The scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Shi Kangshun walked onto the stage again

to randomly pick an audience member to draw the next round of combatants.

To Li Yao's surprise,

the audience member picked this time was actually that girl, Qin Yue.

With so many people watching, Qin Yue didn't show any stage fright and walked onto the stage with long strides.

She reached out her small hand and pulled out eight small balls.

After glancing at the names on them, Qin Yue covered her mouth, her expression somewhat pained.

Shi Kangshun frowned as he walked up, picked up the small ball, and read:

"Platform One, Qin Xuejun versus Hong Ling."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire arena widened their eyes.

Holy crap!

There really was no rigging!

Hong Ling and Qin Xuejun were both renowned geniuses of Jingyu.

Two of Jingyu's seeded players for the championship were actually meeting in the first round of the ranking battles?

Practitioners from other academies looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes. ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
