Chapter 153: The Final Competition
"Next, it's the same as before, but the rules this time will be a bit different."
"Because there are eleven of you, one person will have a bye and will automatically enter the next round; these six people will enter the final decision."
"In this way, only three will win, and the remaining three will continue to decide the final winner."
"Have you all understood what I said?"
After speaking, Lü Bu asked the eleven people loudly.
"We understand!"
Upon hearing this, the eleven people all shouted with solemn faces.
"Good, then now, I announce that the second round of drawing lots begins!"
Following Lü Bu's words, the soldiers behind brought up the lottery boxes that had already been prepared.
They walked toward everyone one by one, and the eleven people drew their signs with solemn faces and checked them.
"Is there anyone among you who drew a circle?"
After everyone finished drawing lots, Lü Bu asked them loudly.
"Reporting to the General, I seem to have drawn it."
After hearing Lü Bu's words, Zhang Fei below said somewhat uncertainly.
Then, he showed his sign to everyone, and when everyone looked, they indeed found a circle on it.
"Good, since you drew the circle, then congratulations, you can enter the next round!"
Seeing that the bye sign was actually in Zhang Fei's hands, Lü Bu was also somewhat speechless; he was really somewhat envious of this black charcoal head's luck.
And at this time, Zhang He, Cao Hong, and the others all looked at Zhang Fei with envy.
They knew clearly that being able to reach this step with their strength was already not bad.
They were simply no match for the remaining people.
Among them, the only ones they had a chance to defeat were Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, who joined later.
However, after watching the competition between these two, they also did not have absolute certainty that they could defeat them.
However, with Zhang Fei's strength at the Fourth Heaven of the Postnatal Realm, he was not afraid of anyone.
"Now, please, those who drew the number one and number two signs, ascend to the first arena for competition!"
"Those who drew the number three and number four, ascend to the second arena for competition!"
Without making everyone wait too long, Lü Bu said loudly to everyone.
Following Lü Bu's words, Zhang He and Ma Chao walked toward the first arena.
And Zhao Yun and Gao Lan walked toward the second arena.
And at this time, as the four ascended the arena, the crowd watching below was also completely boiling.
"I didn't expect that these newly arrived General Zhao Yun and General Huang Zhong would also have such powerful strength."
"Yes, now it seems that the situation is really hard to say; I feel they all have a chance!"
"I still favor General Guan Yu; he should be able to take a commander position."
"I admit General Guan Yu is very strong, but the others don't look bad either!"
The crowd below was discussing which generals could obtain the remaining four legion commander positions.
And at this time, the competition on the arena had already begun.
All four were spear users, and for a time, the fighting was quite intense.
However, Ma Chao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had all broken through to the Fourth Heaven of the Postnatal Realm, while Zhang He was only at the Third Heaven of the Postnatal Realm, and his talent was not as powerful as Ma Chao's.
The imagined challenge of fighting above one's level simply would not appear; after fighting for a while, Zhang He was defeated by Ma Chao.
"Brother Mengqi has such powerful strength; I am not as good!"
After being defeated, Zhang He said with emotion to Ma Chao.
"Hehehe, General Zhang He's strength is also not bad, you are too kind!"
After hearing Zhang He's words, Ma Chao also said to him.
"Brother Mengqi, good luck!"
After saying this to Ma Chao, Zhang He walked off the arena.
"I announce that the winner of the first arena, Ma Chao, will enter the final round of competition!"
"Now, please, those who drew the number five and number six signs, come on stage for competition!"
Following Lü Bu's words, Ma Chao also walked off the arena amidst the cheers of the crowd.
And at this time, Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang, who drew the number five and six signs, also came to the arena.
After the two greeted each other, they fought together quickly; for a time, the entire drill ground was filled with the shouting and fighting sounds of the soldiers.
On the second arena, Zhao Yun once again defeated his opponent with his superb spear technique.
And at this time, the second arena also welcomed the seventh and eighth contestants, Huang Zhong and Cao Hong.
Soon, the second round of competition ended after intense fighting by everyone.
Considering that everyone had consumed too much, Liu Bian specially exchanged Rejuvenation Pills from the system for everyone to replenish their consumption.
After about half a quarter-hour, everyone was in full state, not looking like they had gone through two rounds of competition at all.
The Rejuvenation Pills Liu Bian exchanged for everyone were Yellow Grade Superior, which could restore ninety percent of the consumption of warriors below the Seventh Heaven of the Postnatal Realm.
After everyone replenished, Lü Bu came to the high platform again.
"Congratulations to you all for defeating your opponents again. Next will be the final battle; as long as you win this competition, you will become the commanders of the four great legions."
Upon hearing this, everyone stared at Lü Bu with fiery eyes, but Zhang Fei, this kid, was somewhat absent-minded at this time.
"Then, I announce that the drawing of lots begins!"
It was the same as before; after everyone finished drawing lots, Lü Bu said loudly:
"Now, let us invite the first group of contestants; please, those who drew number one and number two, ascend to the first arena for competition, and those who drew number two and number three, ascend to the second arena for competition."
Following Lü Bu's words, the whole field erupted in deafening cheers.
And Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun walked onto the first arena, and Ma Chao and Huang Zhong walked onto the second arena.
At this time, both sides were looking at each other solemnly; after so many rounds of competition, they already clearly knew the strength of the other side.
Following the start of the competition by Lü Bu and Zhang Liao, fighting broke out on both arenas at the same time.
The four people came and went, using their housekeeping skills, and finally, on the first arena, Zhao Yun once again defeated Xiahou Dun with his Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix spear technique.
And on the second arena, Ma Chao's cultivation was one heaven higher than Huang Zhong's; after struggling for a long time, Huang Zhong was narrowly defeated by Ma Chao.
"Brother Mengqi, congratulations!"
After failing, Huang Zhong congratulated Ma Chao heartily.
He had only cultivated for ten days or so and could reach this point; he believed that as long as he was given time, he would definitely be able to catch up with Ma Chao.
"Brother Hansheng, you are too kind; I just relied on my strength being higher than yours. If I had the same cultivation as you, then I really might not be your opponent!"
At this time, Ma Chao also said sincerely to Huang Zhong.
He was also under pressure to win this competition; if he hadn't relied on his cultivation being higher than Huang Zhong's, it would really be hard to say.
After the two looked at each other and smiled, Huang Zhong walked off the arena.
"Mengqi, congratulations!"
At this time, Lü Bu, who had come to the arena, also congratulated Ma Chao.
"Thank you, General Lü!"
Seeing this, Ma Chao also returned the salute immediately.
And at this time, on the second arena, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had also ascended the arena. ===== CHAPTER 154 =====
