Chapter Eighty-Five: Broken Light, Three People Enter the Encirclement

  As for Yu Xuanwu's defeat, the audience was not surprised at all. It was clear that Yu Xuanwu was no match for Yu XuanYu, and they were from the same sect.

  Yu Xuan Yu jumped down from the stage with a shrug. She didn't seem to appreciate Yu Xuan Wu's voluntary concession either.

  Anyway, the first of the top three finalists has emerged.

  The second draw was the most tense moment, as this draw not only determined the matchup for this round but also hinted at the matchup information for the final round.

  The smile on Haiyue's face grew wider as he shook his hand vigorously, and two bronze plaques fell out - a Qinglong Bronze Plaque and a Xie Dragon Bronze Plaque.

  The contestant from the Gevirong district looked even more sullen, and he silently walked up onto the stage.

  Li Wang hehe smiled and stepped onto the stage.

  "This match is Xiao Junhou against Ge Weilong, with almost no suspense. So, the final match will be between Xu Yang and Yunyang, which will be the most exciting."

  Many spectators have already begun looking forward to the final match of the fifth round.

  As expected, Ge Weilong did his best but was no match for Li Wang and was defeated easily, leaving the stage in dejection.

  "I believe that in the last round, there is no need for me to draw lots," said Haiyue teacher as he walked onto the high platform with a faint smile. "Xu Yang, Yun Yang, two young talents will decide who will be the last one to enter the top three!"

  His white clothes fluttering like snow, he floated into the arena, his entire body overflowing with precious light, that was the effect of his Light Mystique, making him seem like a celestial deity descending to earth, awe-inspiring and extraordinary.

  Xu Yang's aura was deeply hidden, just like an ordinary young man, step by step he walked onto the high platform.

  "The competition begins." Le Tingyun announced directly.

  A loud and clear whistle, a sword thrust into the imperial palace, the sword tip trembling, like a spirit snake spitting out its letter, ten thousand cold lights enveloping Xu Yang's entire person.

  "What exquisite swordsmanship! Yun Yang is indeed a peerless swordsman, a young genius!" someone in the audience exclaimed, "How will Xu Yang counterattack?"

  Xu Yang smiled slightly and closed his eyes.

  "What! He actually closed his eyes!"

  "Is this giving up? Has Xu Yang's courage been shattered by Yun Yang's superior swordsmanship?"

  The sword's blade flashed uncertainly, and when he saw Xu Yang close his eyes, a thread of unease suddenly flashed through his heart.

  "A person's eyes grasp the position and size of an object through the light refracted by the object. The art of refraction is a deceptive technique that changes the angle of light refraction to deceive the opponent's vision."

  Xu Yang closed his eyes, and in his ears was a faint rustling of the wind. Relying on his keen sense of hearing and sharp perception, he quickly mapped out Yun Yang's position and movements in his mind.

  "The countless sword lights in front of me are all fake, his true body has quietly moved to my rear... just as I thought."

  Yun Yang released his Light Mystique power outward, creating an illusion of a sword dance attack in front of Xu Yang. His true body was covered with a layer of Light Mystique power, allowing light to pass through and leaving only a faint transparent shadow.

  Every step he took, he had to calculate the angle of light transmission, keeping his true body hidden. Yun Yang's movement speed was very slow, and every victory he had achieved before was by using illusions to attract his opponent's attention, allowing his true body to defeat the enemy at leisure.

  But facing this mysterious and unpredictable opponent, Yun Yang felt a wave of dizziness in his heart.

  "I will definitely win!" Yun Yang muttered to himself, his true form disguised even more perfectly. This was the best concealment of his true form in all the matches he had been in so far.

  "Hmph, you'll definitely be unable to find me, this is the most perfect concealment......" Just as this thought had just risen, Yun Yang suddenly felt a pain in his chest!

  A huge flame palm print, swooping down, heavily slammed into Yun Yang's chest!

  "You... how did you discover my true form..." Yun Yang's thin body flew backward and fell into a coma in mid-air. His last thought was a sentence that Xu Yang had once said:

  "I only need one move to defeat you."

  His consciousness immediately left his body.

  Xu Yang's Flame Emperor Seal was extremely powerful. When facing Chu Mingde, after breaking the opponent's "Double Dragon Bite", the residual wave still heavily injured Chu Mingde. Yun Yang's physical body was far inferior to Chu Mingde, and he was directly blasted away, coughing out blood foam in mid-air, rolling several times when landing, and then stopped moving.

  Letying Yun felt a bit helpless and glared at Xu Yang, resentful that he had been too ruthless.

  There were already medical staff rushing onto the stage to check Yun Yang's physical condition.

  "All five internal organs are ruptured, hurry up and send him for treatment, there's still hope!" A Taoist master forced open Yun Yang's mouth and fed him a life-saving pill, then ordered people to carry Yun Yang away.

  The previous Haeyoon's preliminary round was even accompanied by a direct death event, and the audience did not show any surprise, but only sighed at Hae-yoon's mysteriousness.

  "Although it can't be seen clearly, why can it accurately find out the hidden enemy? Xǔ Yáng is too mysterious."

  "It seems that Yun Yang is not as great as he seems, the sword light was just an illusion and not his true self wielding a sword. I think, his swordsmanship is not as extraordinary as we imagined."

  Letying Yun walked up to Xu Yang: "You went too far! Your opponent almost got beaten to death by you."

  Xu Yang shook his head: "Referee, you should be able to see that I held back three points of my strength. Otherwise, he would already be a corpse, and what's the point of treating him?"

  "You little scoundrel, you're absolutely a ruthless killer," Leting Yun hummed and said, "I don't believe you spared Cloud Yang's life out of kindness, but rather because this is Linshuang City, and killing someone in public would have a bad influence."

  Xu Yang did not express approval or disapproval.

  "That cute little pet, following a cold-blooded butcher like you, is too unsafe," Leting Yun's eyes flashed with a familiar expression, and she smiled slyly, "How about handing it over to me?"

  Xu Yang patted the fatty's head and pressed it into his chest. After the last battle with Yue Lianheng, the fatty had discovered a more comfortable position, which was Xu Yang's chest. Every time he crawled in, only revealing a snow-white little head, he could keep warm without hindering his observation of the outside world, how wonderful!

  "I declare, Xu Yang wins!" Without getting a satisfactory response, Le Ting Yun glared at Xu Yang and loudly announced.

  Haiyue teacher walked onto the stage, his hands holding three bronze medals, namely Li Wang's Qinglong Bronze Medal, Yu Xuanyu's Xiezhi Bronze Medal, and Xu Yang's Yunma Bronze Medal.

  "This time, the excellent performance of each of you has exceeded my expectations," said Teacher Haiyue in a loud voice. "Therefore, I have decided to use my special envoy's authority to expand the number of finalists. These three candidates will advance together and wait until next spring when the flowers bloom to go to Donglai City for the final selection!"

  The audience was amazed, and then applause thundered! A city, the more talented people it produces, the more prosperous and powerful it is.

  Lin Yuan City is a small city, in the past, it was always the shortest among the dwarfs who stood out and was selected. This time, three people were unexpectedly selected, which is indeed a great honor.
