People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 342 Another Mandate of Heaven? (Eleventh Update! 7200 Monthly Tickets Added! Please Vote!)

However, even though the top three have been determined, many people are still looking forward to the final showdown between Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou.

It's not that I doubt who will win or lose; I just want to see them fight, that's all.

In fact, even at the competition venue, many people were more interested in Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou sitting in the players' seats than in the competition itself.

These two have been quite calm these past few days, simply observing the battles. Once they've won ten matches, they won't make a move again.

In this situation, the preliminary rounds were certainly exciting, with many impressive figures, considered unapproachable by most, fighting and battling to determine who would prevail.

But compared to the achievements of these two, these remarkable figures pale in comparison.

Triple breakthrough—this level of mastery suppresses all who dare to defy it!
Time continued to pass, and finally, around 10 a.m. on the fourth day, Li Qi ushered in his first game. This person was actually the young man who was in the same competition area as Li Qi on the first day and had not worn armor.

Reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, achieving perfect mastery of external techniques!
At twenty-two years old, such martial arts skills would be considered exceptionally outstanding even in a small town.

In some eras, the champions of the Fish and Dragon Cup were mostly at this level.

Breaking through the limits is extremely difficult!

Perhaps there would be more in Zhongzhou, but in Mingyu, they are extremely rare.

As Li Qi's name was displayed, the large screen that had been broadcasting footage from other regions suddenly switched to this region.

Meanwhile, countless people watching matches from other regions in other live streams switched to this one, and the chat was flooded with comments like, "Master Li, slow down this time..." and "Let the opponents have a bit of a competition experience too..."

While some people may have been leading others to believe that Zhuang Buzhou was truly invincible, no one considered Li Qicai or weak. It all depends on who you're talking about.

Li Qi's opponent was extremely serious at this moment. He stared at Li Qi, but felt no threat whatsoever. The lack of threat was the most terrifying thing, meaning that the gap between them had become so vast that it was almost catastrophic.

Then, the three-second countdown ended, followed by the one-minute countdown, and then Li Qi unleashed his invincibility, leaving his opponent with no gaming experience whatsoever.

This time, no one was surprised; they simply felt it was to be expected.

If Li Qi were to actually fight his opponent for hundreds of rounds, that would be a bit outrageous.

Zhuang Buzhou's competition process was largely similar; he simply couldn't find an opponent.

In this situation, everyone is even more eager for Li Qi and Zhuang Buzhou to face off, with three major life limits against three major life limits. Although there will be differences in strength and ability, it will definitely be a spectacular match.

As the matches went by, and the top ten were decided on the fifth day, Li Qi never faced Zhuang Buzhou even once.

In fact, Li Qi, Zhuang Buzhou, and Zhao Canghai never faced off against each other.

Undoubtedly, this was no coincidence. The computer-generated selection may seem random, but in reality, truly strong contestants are usually not matched up against each other in advance. The reason for this is, of course, for the sake of the show's entertainment value.

This is a tacitly understood rule, and it applies even to major national examinations.

Fairness is always relative.

Moreover, this mechanism has no impact on you as long as you are strong enough.

When it came to the final ten, only one arena remained, with a diameter of twenty meters. The live broadcast room also became the only one, and all the audience members present focused their attention on this single stage.

As for the format of this stage, it is a 5-5 match to determine the top five. The top five then compete in a 2-2 match, with one player receiving a bye, to determine the top three. The top three then choose two players to compete against each other, and the winners and the players who received byes compete for first place.

Undoubtedly, luck plays a significant role at this stage. If you happen to be matched with a weak opponent and receive two byes, you can secure a place in the top two.

In fact, such loopholes are intentionally left out; luck is also a form of strength. Furthermore, in martial arts, there is no second place; second place is meaningless. If you are strong enough, you will naturally reach first.

Finally, the final began. At this moment, countless people stared intently at the rapidly scrolling text on the screen. Finally, the text stopped.

Li Qi VS Zhao Canghai

These two people actually faced off in the very first round.

At this moment, many people sighed, Zhao Canghai was going to stop at sixth place, he was just a little unlucky.

As the two took the stage, there was a three-second countdown, followed by a sixty-second countdown.

It was at this moment that Zhao Canghai finally spoke: "I never thought that I would have to repeat what Shi Wuxin once said, but this is indeed what I am thinking right now."

"I am indeed no match for you, but if there is such a thing as destiny in this world, it does not lie with you, but with Zhuang Buzhou."

"You are strong, but he is even more terrifying. Ultimately, it's the difference of time that matters."

As he spoke, Zhao Canghai looked toward the head of the selection committee, where Zhuang Buzhou was.

The position for selecting the chief is slightly higher than the arena. At this moment, Zhuang Buzhou sits quietly, displaying a somewhat divine aura.

"I'm saying all this to tell you that failure is nothing."

"Although I have failed before, my heart is even more sincere!"

At this moment, Zhao Canghai turned his head and looked at Li Qi with sincere eyes.

However, Zhao Canghai felt that Li Qi, having achieved success at a young age, might not be able to withstand failure. He didn't want Li Qi to be discouraged and wanted to offer him guidance in advance. Even if it was useless, it would be good to plant a seed in advance.

Undoubtedly, Zhao Canghai's personality has changed considerably during this period. He has not been diminished by the shadow of failure, but has instead truly gained some semblance of a broad mind that can accommodate all rivers.

"It's too early to judge success or failure now; we'll only know after we've fought it out."

Li Qi's tone was calm, without any ripples.

Finally, the sixty-second countdown ended, and at that moment, Zhao Canghai suddenly swung his sword.

He knew Li Qi was very strong, but at this moment, his heart was very sincere, and he didn't even see Li Qi as an opponent. If he really had hostility towards Li Qi, he wouldn't have said those words before.

It may seem that he was undermining Li Qi's confidence, but in reality, it was a kind of magnanimous spirit, having no enemies, which is also a kind of invincibility!

Undoubtedly, his battle with Li Qi was a wake-up call for him, completely changing him.

This is also reflected in his current state of swordsmanship.

Unlike when he first broke through his limits, when his swordsmanship was ethereal and pure, like a moon veiled by light clouds, his swordsmanship now is neither extremely hard nor extremely soft, nor a combination of both, but rather a vast and pure kind of swordsmanship.

Be sincere in your heart! Be sincere to yourself! Be sincere with your sword!

A single, sincere strike, truly extraordinary!
As for Li Qi being very strong, since he doesn't have any enemies, what does that have to do with him?!

He was simply demonstrating his swordsmanship, showcasing his brilliance.
