MMB Chapter 241 Semifinals!
Chapter 241 Semifinals!
Inside the private room, there was a deathly silence.
The air seemed to have solidified into lead, so heavy it was suffocating.
Xiao Long, Ye Xingchen, and Su Liuli, three prodigies from the main star, had expressions so gloomy they could drip water, and deep in their eyes was an undisguised turmoil.
They looked at each other, and in each other's eyes they saw the same shock and... a trace of uncontrollable fear.
Finally, Ye Xingchen broke the suffocating silence first. His voice was a little dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Xiao Ying's reaction... is obviously that she suffered an unimaginable and overwhelming attack on a mental level."
He knew very well how powerful Xiao Ying's materialized spiritual domain was, and he also knew even more clearly what terrifying power would be needed to cause such a powerful domain to collapse in an instant.
"This Lin Qiye's martial arts will is strange!" Ye Xingchen stared intently at the figure calmly sheathing his gun on the light screen, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "That's definitely not some kind of solidified form!"
"It can't possibly be the Return to Truth, can it?!" Xiao Long finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared out. For the first time, an incomprehensible look of horror appeared on his usually arrogant and unruly face. "A peerless genius who comprehended the Return to Truth martial intent at the martial artist stage?!"
"Moreover, if I wasn't mistaken..." Su Liuli's voice was icy, yet carried a barely perceptible tremor, "beneath that dazzling, sun-like martial will, there seemed to be two other completely different wills hidden... possibly... a triple martial will."
Triple Martial Intent!
One of them even reached the state of returning to one's true nature!
This conclusion, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded in the minds of the three of them!
At this moment, they finally understood that Lin Feizhi and Xiao Ying's defeat was not unjust.
They finally realized how ridiculous and ignorant their previous sense of superiority stemming from the new system was.
Individual talent and comprehension are no match for an advanced system.
That's because they had never seen anyone with such extraordinary talent!
This is no longer just a simple genius, this is... a monster! A monster that could overturn all their understanding, a monster that shouldn't exist in this era!
"Next round..." Ye Xingchen's voice grew increasingly hoarse, "Who will his opponent be next?"
No one answered.
But in everyone's mind, the same thought, heavy as a mountain, arose.
Who among us can stop him?
Lin Feizhi, who had been silent all along, had an expressionless face on her usually haughty and beautiful face. But in her heart, a strange, almost morbid pleasure suddenly rose up, and she even... wanted to laugh!
If she was the only one to suffer a crushing defeat, then it means it was her own problem, that she was less skilled than others, and that she disgraced the Lin family.
However, if everyone loses, even Xiao Long, Ye Xingchen, and Su Liuli will be crushed by that monster in an unparalleled manner...
Then it's not just her problem!
It was a mistake made by those old guys in the main family!
She suddenly realized that if Lin Qiye was really that terrifying, it might not be such a bad thing for her...
At least, she is no longer the only loser nailed to the pillar of shame.
She could even become a... tragic victim, the first to reveal the truth.
……
Back in the preparation and rest room, Lin Qiye sat on the soft sofa, his mind still replaying that brief, almost absurd second.
He couldn't help but shake his head, a look of bewilderment on his face.
To be honest, he felt he was being too cautious.
Before the match, both Bai Muxi's concerns and the overwhelming analysis on the forums led him to have a very high estimate of Xiao Ying's strength.
Especially when Xiao Ying truly unleashed that materialized spiritual domain, and a strange third eye cracked open on his forehead, Lin Qiye's heartstrings tightened for a moment.
He was even prepared for a tough battle.
result……
He had just released his triple martial intent, and hadn't even had a chance to truly exert his power, when his opponent actually... exploded?
The scene was like preparing to use a nuclear bomb to blast a mosquito, only to have the mosquito die of fright before the bomb even landed.
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
I didn't know he was so fragile.
Now, a lot of our cards have been exposed.
Although it hasn't been fully revealed yet, it's certain that someone with a keen eye will notice something amiss.
What a blunder!
However, just as Lin Qiye was feeling a little annoyed that he had accidentally revealed his triple martial intent, the results of the next few quarterfinal matches were like a series of turbulent waves, shocking everyone's eyes and completely overturning all the pre-match predictions!
The first upset came from the duel between Chen Xuanyi and Ling Xiaoqing.
Everyone thought it would at least be a close battle.
However, the course of the competition surprised everyone!
Ling Xiaoqing, a dark-skinned girl from the Ling family in Xuancheng, underwent a dramatic change in strength after switching to the new system of the main star!
In the training ground, she seemed to transform into a true Valkyrie!
With the dual enhancement of martial intent, every strike of hers was filled with domineering power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!
Although Chen Xuanyi tried his best and brought his strength to the limit, he was still defeated by Ling Xiaoqing's fierce attack. In the end, after struggling for thirty minutes, he was cleaved away by Ling Xiaoqing's sword and was seriously injured and defeated!
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Then, a second upset occurred!
Tang Dongshan, the three-sword monster, is facing off against Xiao Long from the Xiao family of the main star!
Before the match, almost no one was optimistic about Tang Dongshan's chances.
However, the moment the battle began, Tang Dongshan's chilling killing intent, like a drawn sword, was terrifying!
Moreover, he also comprehended dual martial intents!
With his martial intent suppressed by Xiao Long, he only used three strikes!
The first strike broke through Xiao Long's defenses!
The second strike severed Xiao Long's weapon!
The third strike severed Xiao Long's head!
Decisive and efficient, absolutely domineering!
If the first two matches were considered upsets, then the final match, the duel between Ye Xingchen and Su Liuli, was more like a dramatic civil war.
In the end, Su Liuli won this competition for international students from the main planet by a narrow margin.
With that, the quarterfinals have come to an end!
The final four lineup surprised everyone!
Lin Qiye, Ling Xiaoqing, Tang Dongshan, Su Liuli!
Three of the four prodigies from the main planet were eliminated in the semifinals!
Only Su Liuli was left, holding the fort all by herself!
Even more dramatically, according to the match-up rules, Lin Qiye's opponent in the next round of the semi-finals is none other than the last "main star's sole survivor"—Su Liuli!
