My Way

Chapter 996 [Unaffiliated with Any Sect or School - Liu Zonghan]

Forty days passed in the blink of an eye.

Although the official 1vs1 matches started a week after the preliminary rounds ended.

But as the person with the highest score.

Ling Wuyuan possesses a basic privilege: the ability to appear at the very end.

and so.

until today.

Only when Ling Wuyuan made her successful entrance could she be considered to have made her appearance.

By the way...

This situation immediately gave the second-place player a feeling that the sky had fallen...

"He immediately started fighting Ling Wuyuan."

"What's the difference between that and being sent to your death in the first round?"

"No, brother, are you sure you want to do this to me?"

"I came in second place!!"

to be frank.

At the moment of facing the order of the games.

Although the second-place winner didn't say anything.

But that guy's gaze.

He was quite direct in revealing his true thoughts, which made the organizers instantly understand his pain and suffering, as well as his existential crisis...

Then, the organizers immediately felt very sorry for the other party and changed the rules on the spot, turning the privilege of postponing the competition order according to the ranking into a state that could be canceled by the participants.

Then, the third-place winner, who had been all smiles, suddenly felt like the sky had fallen and had no choice but to follow suit and give up his privileged ranking...

finally.

While the top-ranked players were one by one choosing to voluntarily relinquish their ranking privileges, a stubborn kid ranked in the twenties still resolutely chose to confront Ling Wuyuan head-on...
-
As the other party slowly walked out of the extremely dark passage and entered the venue.

The first thing that happened was a chorus of cheers.

Like a wave.

even.

Even before the opponent made their appearance.

Countless spectators were already cheering for the other side.

to be honest.

Regardless of all that, in terms of courage alone, the other party is certainly no less capable.

So none of the audience members minded cheering for the other side.

Of course, to be honest...

It was a feeling, a kind of feeling of seeing someone off.

Everybody knows.

Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Ling Wuyuan, the opponent was guaranteed a first-round wipeout...

In this regard.

That person was fully aware of the situation.

Moreover, the other party was quite aware of how the audience actually viewed him.

Many people think he's a fool.

He could have easily gotten through several rounds, but he stubbornly chose to face Ling Wuyuan head-on.

But... he just wouldn't accept it, literally wouldn't accept it.

He can be defeated, but he will never retreat on his own initiative!
This is exactly the same kind of stubbornness as those headstrong kids in the preliminary rounds who, knowing they were no match, still dared to actively seek out Ling Wuyuan...

Although it seems a bit foolish.

But it is precisely because of this kind of guy that Wu Yuan and some other guys sincerely feel that there are still quite a few promising talents among the younger generation of cultivators.

For practitioners, this indomitable spirit is absolutely indispensable.

After all, cultivation in this world is indeed somewhat idealistic.

Often, when you lose your ambition, you lose your future too...

that's it.

Under the watchful eyes of the other party and countless spectators.

In another passageway opposite it.

Ling Wuyuan's figure slowly revealed itself...

this moment.

Everyone could clearly tell that the cheers at this moment were far louder than when the other person entered the game, or even in any previous round of the competition; it was a true tidal wave of sound...

It wasn't just the audience in the stadium that erupted in unprecedented cheers.

Even in the other viewing areas far away, extremely intense cheers were echoing.

now.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting Ling Wuyuan's appearance!
His appearance remained unchanged. He was still wearing a mask.

And it was still the same mask without any extra decorative patterns, with only two holes for the eyes.

But all of this did not stop everyone from cheering for him.

Because power itself is such a convenient thing.

As long as you are strong enough.

Then everyone will respect, fear, and love you!
In full view of everyone.

Until they were dozens of meters away from their opponent.

Ling Wuyuan's forward steps slowly came to a stop.

at the moment.

Both sides could clearly see each other's gazes, whether firm or calm.

"Liu Zonghan".

"this is my name."

That was a rather brief self-introduction.

In the instant their eyes met.

The other person then blurted out the words.

Ling Wuyuan immediately nodded in agreement:
"Ah."

"take note of it."

And casually asked:
"And to which faction do they belong?"

He first shook his head, then Liu Zonghan answered with a resolute expression, "I belong to no sect or faction."

Hear the words.

Ling Wuyuan was somewhat surprised.

To advance to the [Original Form Realm] at the age of less than 500 without any sect or faction affiliation, and to rank in the twentieth or so in the first round of preliminary selection... this is by no means an easy task.

It's important to understand that while that ranking may not fully represent true strength due to the fact that some individuals are hiding their true abilities, it still easily demonstrates one thing: the opponent is definitely not weak and must be a strong individual among those at the [Original Form Realm]!

"Is this so..."

After a moment of contemplation.

Ling Wuyuan then introduced himself.

"Let him have no complaints."

“From [Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion].

That's both a form of self-introduction and a way of showing respect.

"Although I know I am no match for you."

"But if possible, I still hope you can defeat me with your true abilities."

"I want to truly experience that tangible difference..."

Faced with this demand.

Ling Wuyuan did not refuse: "Okay."

next moment.

A certain spacetime force is upon me.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Both were immediately transported to the [artificial cave] that had been ravaged by the preliminary rounds and subsequently destroyed countless times.

at the same time.

The distance between the two also became tens of miles apart.

For ordinary people.

This is a rather long distance.

However, at this moment.

For Liu Zonghan and Ling Wuyuan, this distance of several dozen miles was not much different from the previous distances; they were both very close at hand...

"You strike first."

Hear this.

Liu Zonghan did not refuse.

Instead, he replied directly, "Okay!"

Although he is not afraid of failure, he would rather not be eliminated before he even gets a chance to make a move if he could.

That situation was, to some extent, a bit too tragic...

Therefore, he naturally had no reason to refuse Ling Wuyuan's suggestion.

The next moment.

The power that had been building up within him instantly reached its peak!
There was absolutely no holding back.

There is no need for any probing.

Knowing he might only have one chance to make a move, he decisively chose to unleash his full potential and all his life's knowledge!
