Chapter 948

"Isn't the competition over yet?" the Master suddenly asked again.

"Yes." the high-level official from the Inspection Department answered reluctantly.

"Then continue the competition." the Master waved his hand at the elder presiding over the competition.

Xu Tian's mouth twitched.

He was sober now, and his combat effectiveness was almost equal to nothing.

Continuing to compete with other special-grade hunters would only mean being passively beaten, so it would be better to just abstain.

The students who could enter this final battle link were all not to be underestimated. In a sober state, it was impossible for him to have any chance of winning.

Before Xu Tian could announce his abstention, the presiding elder spoke.

"Xu Tian wins. Who among the remaining contestants will come on stage?"

"If no one takes the initiative to come on stage, I will start the mode of drawing lots to come on stage."

When the martial arts competition reached this stage, it was generally a mode of attacking and defending the arena.

Therefore, if the contestant on the arena kept winning, the final champion would belong to him.

After the elder finished speaking, the students in the contestant seats were silent, and no one took the initiative to come out.

"Is there anyone?"

The elder asked again.

Those few contestants remained silent.

Xu Tian looked at the few people off the stage in surprise, wondering why they refused to come on stage.

Little did he know that his behavior when he was drunk had long since scared the contestants off the stage.

"Since no one comes out, I will draw lots!"

The elder took a bamboo tube from the staff, drew a bamboo stick, and read out.

"Number 29, Xu Shouye."

Xu Shouye, whose name was called, climbed onto the stage with a bitter face.

After Xu Tian sobered up, he had no strength to fight a special-grade hunter at all. He cleared his throat, intending to signal to the elder that he would abstain.

However, Xu Shouye, who was standing opposite him, spoke first.

"My Lord, I abstain!"

Xu Tian:......

Wasn't this his line!

The elder was slightly startled, and then looked at Xu Shouye with a strange expression.

Although this person was at the same level as Hu Tianqi and Hu Xiaofeng, both being special-grade hunters, his strength was much higher than those two. Now that he wanted to abstain as soon as he got on stage, this was something he hadn't expected.

"Are you sure?" the elder asked again.

"Sure!" After Xu Shouye said this decisively, he didn't even greet Xu Tian and walked straight off the stage.

The elder could only announce helplessly: "Xu Tian wins!"

"Xu Tian, you can continue to wait for the next challenger, and you have one chance to pause and rest."

"Continue." Xu Tian also intended to make a quick decision. Anyway, after the next person came on stage, he would abstain. Resting or not didn't make much sense.

"All right, next I will continue to draw lots." The elder obviously expected that no one would take the initiative to come on stage, so he simply skipped the inquiry link and drew lots directly.

"Number 69!"

The contestant number 69 whose name was called was a tall young girl with half Western blood.

She was wearing a capable martial arts uniform and was also a special-grade hunter.

Hearing her number, the girl looked aggrieved and went on stage reluctantly.

"I'm suddenly not feeling well, so I abstain too!" She frowned, dropped a sentence, and fled off the stage like an escape.

If it weren't for the rule that one must go on stage when called, the girl probably wouldn't have come up.

The elder's mouth twitched, and he could only continue to announce.

"Xu Tian wins again!"

Xu Tian:......

What is going on? His opponents are all special-grade hunters, but they all abstained without fighting after going on stage?

With his current strength, let alone fighting other contestants, he was afraid he couldn't even take ten moves.

But soon Xu Tian understood why those people wanted to abstain.

After all, the secret that he could only restore his strength after drinking was only known to himself.

And others certainly didn't know that his combat effectiveness was almost zero after he sobered up.

These contestants were scared by his performance when he was drunk just now, so they didn't dare to fight him.

If they all abstained...

Then could he win the championship?

If he won the championship by mistake, then this martial arts competition would really have no gold content.

In fact, Xu Tian really wanted to have a fight with these powerful special-grade hunters in a drunken state. He was curious about what his former strength was and what his loyalty was.

It's a pity that his drunken time this time was a bit short, and the Master also explicitly prohibited drinking on stage, so unless he regained his memory, it was impossible to restore his former strength.

Next, two more students were called by name.

Like the previous two, they all abstained immediately after going on stage.

The next one to come up was a ferocious-looking big man. Xu Tian knew from the badge on his chest that this person was currently a special-grade mid-stage bounty hunter.

When a bounty hunter's rating reaches special-grade, there are three small levels. Most special-grade hunters are special-grade early-stage. Those with higher strength will be promoted to special-grade mid-stage, and then special-grade peak, and special-grade top.

The strength of a bounty hunter who can reach the special-grade top can no longer be judged simply by the promotion system. Therefore, the highest ceiling in the bounty hunter industry is the special-grade top. However, since there have been explicit regulations in this industry, special-grade top bounty hunters are rare and have almost never appeared.

Even Yun Shuying, whom Xu Tian is familiar with, cannot reach the special-grade top level yet.

Xu Tian stared at the man standing opposite him, and his expression became serious.

This person's strength was several times higher than that of special-grade early-stage hunters like Hu Tianqi and Hu Xiaofeng. If they really started fighting, he still couldn't take even one move.

"My Lord, I..." Xu Tian had long planned to abstain, but never had the chance.

And just as he raised his hand to signal, the special-grade mid-stage big man also spoke.

"My Lord, I abstain."

Xu Tian:......

He watched helplessly as the other party jumped off the arena neatly, without a trace of nostalgia.

At least he was a special-grade mid-stage expert, at least try it!

"Xu Tian wins!"

The elder seemed to be used to it and announced the result coldly.

And at this moment, there were not many students left in the contestant seats who had not yet gone on stage.

"How about you all come up together?"

Xu Tian glanced at the few people off the stage. It was too time-consuming for them to come up and abstain one by one.

Remaining contestants:......

Why, this Xu Tian wants to repeat his old tricks, but they don't want to end up like Hu Tianqi.

The high-level officials in the VIP seats sneered repeatedly, thinking Xu Tian was too arrogant.

The strength of these remaining students combined was far higher than that of Hu Tianqi and Hu Xiaofeng.

And Yue Moli was still as light and breezy as ever, as if she was not worried about Xu Tian's safety at all.

As for the Thorn Emperor, who was at odds with her, she frowned, showing an unhappy look on her face.

If these people really made a move, how should Xu Tian respond?
