Chapter 774: Chapter 387: The Final of the Great Impartation Contest_1

"The semi-finals of the Great Impartation Contest will be held today. In the first match of the semi-finals, Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu will enter the field to prepare for the competition." The Sacred Legate himself announced the official start of today’s competition.

Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu entered the competition field side by side. The referee of this game was the master of the Warriors Temple.

Seeing the two of them walk straight towards him, the Master was slightly taken aback. According to the competition rules, they should have separated to both sides, maintaining a competitive distance, and then started the competition.

Before he could voice his doubt, Ling Menglu stepped forward and said, "Referee, I forfeit this match."

"Forfeit? Do you understand what you’re doing? This is the semi-finals of the Great Impartation Contest." The Master of the Warriors Temple was stunned.

Ling Menglu candidly said, "I don’t think I can beat Long Dangdang, so I forfeit. After all, I’m just a priestess." A hint of fear was visible on her pretty face, which seemed to carry a slight touch of grievance.

The Master of the Warriors Temple was at a loss for words, ’So you’re just a priestess? Is that what you were thinking when you hit Chu Yu with your magic staff yesterday? Can the Priests Temple accept her admitting defeat at such a time? But looking at her relaxed expression, it doesn’t seem to be an issue. Even though she is only at the 7th rank now, she is almost the designated next Hall Master and holds a superior position within the Priests Temple. Among the six Sacred Legates, both her mother and grandfather are included. At the Priests Temple, this Goddess’s status can currently compare with the Sacred Legates’.

"I ask you again, are you admitting defeat in this game?" said the Master of the Warriors Temple in a serious tone.

Ling Menglu nodded and said, "Yes, I admit defeat."

"Alright, in this game, Priestess Ling Menglu of the Priests Temple admits defeat. Long Dangdang of the Magic Temple wins and advances to the finals." The Master of the Warriors Temple announced, somewhat resignedly.

The least surprised about Ling Menglu’s surrender were the few Sacred Legates of the Priests Temple. They already knew, so they could only give a wry smile. ’Ah, the whims of women!’ Only Old Master Ling and Ling’s mother continued to smile.

"The second match of the semi-finals, Long Kongkong and Zisang Liuying enter the field, prepare for the competition." The referee didn’t need to be replaced—it was still the Master of the Warriors Temple. He hadn’t done anything in the first match, and it was already over.

Zisang Liuying walked into the competition field with a cold and stern expression, while Long Kongkong wore a relaxed smile on his face.

"Both sides, prepare," the Master of the Warriors Temple said in a deep voice.

"Wait a moment." Just when Zisang Liuying was raising her magic staff on the other side, Long Kongkong suddenly gestured for a pause.

"What’s the matter?" The Master of the Warriors Temple asked in surprise.

The smile on Long Kongkong’s face suddenly disappeared, replaced by utter sadness. "Referee, I was seriously injured in yesterday’s competition and have lost 90% of my strength. I can’t continue today. I exhausted too much energy yesterday, so, I also admit defeat."

The Master of the Warriors Temple was dumbstruck. ’What’s going on? You’re treating such an important competition like child’s play? Another forfeit? Both semi-final matches resulted in default victories, leading straight to the finals?’

Zisang Liuying on the other side was also stunned, her gaze turned to Long Kongkong, who just happened to wink at her.

As for the matter of Ling Menglu’s surrender, Zisang Liuying was quite displeased. Naturally, she knew about the uncommon relationship between Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu. However, this was a competition, the Great Impartation Contest. Did she disregard her Temple’s honor and admitted defeat because of personal feelings? Zisang Liuying was very dissatisfied.

But at this moment, Long Kongkong also conceded? Did he truly lack the strength to fight? What did his wink mean to her? Bear in mind, Ling Menglu represented the Priests Temple, which was generally ranked third or fourth. Her admission into the top four was questionable. But Long Kongkong represented the Knights Temple, ranked first! For the Great Impartation Contest, how will he explain to the Knights Temple that they did not advance to the final? Could it be, he has feelings for her...

Thinking so, Zisang Liuying’s heart became a little chaotic.

Over the days, she had watched how Long Kongkong had fared, clear to the naked eye. During the group match, they were in the same group. As the competition continued, Long Kongkong’s growth was practically visible.

Yesterday, he faced Lu Yinzhi, whom even Zisang Liuying herself did not have the confidence to beat. But Long Kongkong won. His strength made Zisang Liuying treat him as an formidable opponent. During the group match, they tied, and today, Zisang Liuying was fully prepared to fight with all her might. However, she did not expect Long Kongkong to surrender at this crucial moment, granting her entry into the finals.

For someone as strong-willed as Zisang Liuying, she was used to planning everything well and executing according to her plans. But today, with Long Kongkong’s surrender, she felt a bit overwhelmed.

"You represent the Knights Temple, are you really choosing to admit defeat?" The Master of the Warriors Temple was also filled with disbelief.

At the moment, the Sacred Legates of the Knights Temple were all staring in shock, and some had even stood up, only to sit down again at the gesture of the Hall Master. Clearly, they did not know that Long Kongkong would admit defeat in today’s match.
