Chapter 492: Four hundred ninety, I concede

The contestant who won the last match had already finished drawing lots, and the new round of competition was about to officially begin. Today, the final victor of the competition would also be decided.

Lu Hanmo stepped onto the stage and flashed Luo Shu a smile, "I concede!"

As soon as these words were spoken, aside from the people of Flame Country who already knew the outcome, everyone was stunned!

"What’s going on? Why would Lu Hanmo concede?"

"Even if he’s close to Luo Shu, he shouldn’t disregard the honor of his own country."

"This result is just too unexpected!"

The judges sitting in the referee’s seat also frowned. They had originally thought that Lu Hanmo would undoubtedly be the final victor. But given the current situation, they were quite surprised.

"Go and call for Elder Yi of Flame Country," the lord of Phoenix Feather City instructed one of his subordinates. This outcome was something he found hard to accept.

"Yes!" The subordinate responded and quickly ran off.

It didn’t take long before Elder Yi was brought over.

"Elder Yi, what’s going on with Lu Hanmo?" the lord of Phoenix Feather City asked Elder Yi. Although he would have preferred his own country to win this competition, given the situation in the stands, this seemed unlikely. This time, the other three countries all had prodigious talents present. The contestants from Phoenix Feather City simply couldn’t compare with them.

"Lu Hanmo was seriously injured in yesterday’s match and should not take action," Elder Yi said. He was more reluctant to accept this than anyone, but Lu Hanmo’s reason left them without any ground for rebuttal. Luo Shu’s strength was very formidable. Even if Lu Hanmo truly fought against her, given his current physical condition, victory was by no means certain.

Hearing this, the lord of Phoenix Feather City and the other referees present also suddenly remembered yesterday’s battle conditions. The reason for their strong reaction was because the strength displayed by Lu Hanmo had convinced them that he would be the victor of this competition. Therefore, when they heard that Lu Hanmo conceded, they found it unacceptable.

Luo Shu stepped down from the stage, waiting for the next round of drawing lots to begin.

The battles on the platform were incredibly fierce. Now, those who could still stand and fight were the mightiest among the mighty, and the strength of both sides was almost at an equal level.

After the last pair of duels had ended, only a handful of contestants remained. In many matches, the opponents were evenly matched, and even if they eventually overcame their rivals, they lacked the ability to fight again.

In another round of drawing lots, with an odd number of people remaining, Luo Shu was fortunate to receive a bye this time.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo went over to where Yun Han was fighting on the platform, watching the battle between Yun Han and a contestant from Phoenix Feather City. Now that everyone knew of their relationship, they no longer avoided each other and simply stood together openly.

Yun Han’s strength didn’t fall much short of Lu Hanmo’s, and his opponent was defeated within a few moves.

"Yun Han, you’re really amazing! I like you so much!" Dongfang Yanran held her face excitedly and shouted to Yun Han on the platform. Every time she saw Yun Han’s fighting grace, her heartbeat uncontrollably quickened. She really wanted to rush up there and embrace Yun Han, to declare to the whole world that Yun Han was the man she had set her heart on, and to discourage any other woman who harbored ulterior motives toward him.

Luo Shu smiled looking at Dongfang Yanran. In fact, she quite admired Dongfang Yanran’s courage, and thought Dongfang Yanran was quite an acceptable person, even though she was a bit spoiled and capricious. At least, Dongfang Yanran was frank, and her actions were straightforward, which was much better than those scheming innocent-looking deceivers.

Turning her gaze towards Yun Han, Luo Shu sighed inwardly. Sadly, the fallen flower pines for love while the heartless brook babbles on; in life, everything could be forced except for love. She really hoped that one day Yun Han would find his true happiness.

With the end of this round of the competition, only five contestants were left who could continue fighting.

Luo Shu drew a contestant from Flame Country, who, like Lu Hanmo, was also from Yawning Moon Gate.

"I look forward to learning from you!" Si Qianxiao saluted Luo Shu with his hands. In his heart, he was very displeased with Lu Hanmo’s concession. He felt that the biggest reason for Lu Hanmo’s concession wasn’t due to his health, but because of his relationship with Luo Shu. As such, defeating Luo Shu would embarrass Lu Hanmo. Who told Lu Hanmo to disregard the honor of Flame Country and Yawning Moon Gate by conceding to a woman.

Seeing the hostility, will to fight, and disdain in his opponent’s eyes, Luo Shu’s lips curled into a faint smile, "Please!"

Si Qianxiao didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his hand, he brandished his weapon and launched an attack towards Luo Shu. He wanted to defeat Luo Shu in front of everyone, to show them that her strength was merely so.

Previously, those who fought against Luo Shu were contestants of average ability. It was normal for her to win. But he was different from them. His strength was only slightly inferior to Lu Hanmo’s, but within Yawning Moon Gate and even the whole of Flame Country, he ranked near the top.

Luo Shu’s figure flashed, meeting Si Qianxiao head-on, and this time she didn’t even draw her weapon.

The crowd saw Luo Shu dodge her opponent’s attack with an inconceivable speed as she neared, then with a single punch, sent Si Qianxiao flying.

Everything happened too quickly; the fight was over in the blink of an eye.

Si Qianxiao lay on the ground, looking up at Luo Shu as she approached, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. It turned out that she was even stronger than he imagined!
