Chapter 419 So he was also...
"The semifinals! They're finally about to begin!"
"My God! Two players from China actually made it to the semi-finals!"
"It's been such a long, long time since something like this has happened."
"What if two Chinese players meet? Wouldn't that mean China is guaranteed a spot in the finals?! Damn it!"
The world is in an uproar.
The situation in China was absolutely chaotic, with enthusiastic cheers across the country and celebratory images flooding large screens in shopping malls. The game repeatedly replayed Sikong's decisive blow against Park Jin-guk!
Some people hope the two will meet, as this would guarantee a place in the finals. Even the runner-up title would bring a huge boost to the nation's fortune.
However, some people believe that both of them are exceptionally powerful and capable of contending with their opponents.
Why not compete and both make it to the finals?
We'll take both first and second place with us!
Although the hope is slim.
But... what if?
……
The eliminated contestants stood on a suspended mountain.
Yan Runan, Chen Xi, and the others looked at the battlefield in the center with somewhat tense and uneasy expressions.
"Senior Sikong, Junior Lin, good luck!" Yan Runan clenched her fist.
Chen Xi pinched his chin, staring intently at Lin Qingyan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Void Ice Lotus.
An Tianzong said softly, "You noticed it too?"
Chen Xi nodded.
Yan Runan looked at the two of them in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"Her condition," Chen Xi said, looking at Lin Qingyan, "is very special. It's somewhat similar to the resonance of martial arts achieving oneness with heaven and man."
Upon hearing this, Yan Runan looked closely.
Sure enough, an anomaly was discovered.
Around Lin Qingyan, who sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, an exceptionally rich spiritual substance surged like a tide with her breath, countless runes condensed from martial arts techniques rose up, and her blood and qi vibrated at a frequency of hundreds of times per second.
"Could it be that he's about to break through to the Grandmaster realm?!" Yan Runan was both surprised and delighted.
What's surprising is Lin's talent; it's almost frighteningly beyond imagination.
The pleasant surprise is that if she can reach the Grandmaster level, her combat power will undoubtedly increase dramatically, and China's chances of winning will be even higher.
"In the Grandmaster realm, the most crucial element is the refinement of martial will. Once the mind, body, and will are unified, and the Three Flowers Gather at the Top, one can transcend a major level of life."
An Tianzong said softly, "Junior Sister Lin's martial arts will has already been condensed, even stronger than some grandmasters. Her will is unbreakable. The rest is just accumulation. And the reward of this national destiny war can perfectly increase her blood and qi, and temper her body and spirit."
"The tipping point." Chen Xi's eyes flashed as he stared intently at her.
"Her vital energy and spirit have reached a critical point. Once she breaks through it, she will step into the realm of a grandmaster."
"I heard she's only a freshman in college, she really is a prodigy," An Tianzong remarked.
"She and that guy were in the same high school," Yan Runan said with a grin, sniffing. "Is there really such a thing as a place of dragon's luck that breeds monsters?!"
"Who knows?"
Besides China, there are also the United States and Russia.
The athletes from other countries stood on the viewing platform, all with gloomy and grim expressions, their fists clenched.
As representatives of the same competition, I never expected the gap between us to be so large.
……
Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The final result of the duel has been revealed.
Lin Qingyan VS Edward.
Sikong vs. Christina.
The best possible outcome would be two wins, with both teams advancing to the finals.
The worst-case scenario is losing both matches and missing out on first or second place.
For a moment, the hearts of all Chinese people were on edge.
This also applies to the Chinese imperial family.
Princess Xia Jiuhuang looked nervous and uneasy.
Xia Yi, standing beside him, had a deep gaze.
What he cares about is not the fate of the nation, but something behind it.
For example, that... Masked Alliance.
This year's Golden Age has finally made them reveal a hint of their true colors.
If anything else happens...
Perhaps then...
……
"The fight is finally about to begin."
Ogle looked intently at the field.
He glanced at Jiang Yuan and grinned, "Your ace versus our ace, this battle is bound to be exciting."
"Sikong is not our trump card."
Jiang Yuan crossed his legs and ate snacks.
Everyone, including Ogle, and others like Sturmhead, were taken aback.
"A double SSS-level talent user isn't an ace? Do you think that little girl is stronger?!"
Ogle asked doubtfully, "I admit that her strength is extraordinary, comparable to an eighth-tier grandmaster, but she only has SS-level talent. Even if her combat skills are strong..."
"Just wait and see."
Jiang Yuan smiled.
"Blustering is nothing but self-deception."
Strathead crossed his arms and sneered, "I heard you placed a heavy bet on her. It seems she does indeed have some secrets, but unfortunately—"
"Edward Sean is the strongest!"
"He represents the free will of America, is the glory of the entire Western continent, is proof of heroism and fearlessness, and is the embodiment of justice."
"Just you wait and see."
"He will use the holy sword in his hand to cut down all your delusions!"
He was extremely proud and had boundless confidence in Edward Sean.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the handsome captain of the Hero Squad on the field, his heterochromatic eyes half-closed, and rested his chin on his hand, saying:
"I see……"
"So he was also a martial artist with dual SSS-level talent."
