Chapter 691: Chapter 691_1

"If chanting slogans were useful, there would be no need for the Dragon Soul Convention. What prevails on the competition field is genuine strength."

Jiang Yongqi looked grim, snorted coldly, recognizing he wasn’t Su Chengyu’s opponent. He also knew that the moment he stepped on the field, Su Chengyu would certainly confront him. An idea struck him, and he whispered it into Liang Youdao’s ear. Liang Youdao nodded after hearing it.

The referee blew a whistle at that time, officially admitting the competing teammates from both sides. After reading the competition rules as usual, the referee signaled for both sides’ Grand Airspace Officers to submit the names of the first contestants.

Qin Siyuan and Liang Youdao wrote their contestants’ names and handed them to the referee.

The referee revealed the cards in hand and declared, "The semi-finals of the Dragon Soul Convention officially begin. The first round: Jiang Yongqi of Danyang Dragon Soul Department will face Su Cheng of Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department."

Upon hearing the referee announce the first contestant, the Danyang Dragon Soul Department’s faces changed instantly.

"Why is Jiangdong sending Su Cheng into the first match?" Jiang Yongqi’s face darkened, realizing he was now cannon fodder.

"Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter if you lose. Remember not to get injured. Our main opponent is in this afternoon’s final against Fengyang Dragon Soul Department. Apart from Su Cheng, Jiangdong’s other people are negligible. Besides, you still have your personal competitions later, you must conserve your strength," Liang Youdao said.

The overall strength of Fengyang Dragon Soul Department in this session wasn’t as powerful as in the last one. Lee Longqing still shone solo, unbeatable, but other than him, the strength of the remaining members of the Fengyang Dragon Soul Department had slackened considerably.

After the last round, Danyang had nearly determined the strength of all Fengyang’s contestants. Liang Youdao’s ambition was to win the first place in the Dragon Soul Convention.

Jiang Yongqi nodded and flew onto the stage. Su Chengyu also leaped and landed on the stage.

Jiang Yongqi knew he was no match for Su Chengyu. Although resentful, he understood that the upcoming matches were more important, and he could not get injured by Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu stood with his hands behind his back. Jiang Yongqi chose to strike first. Despite knowing he stood no chance, Jiang Yongqi demonstrated his strongest exclusive technique to challenge Su Chengyu.

However, the difference in rank was too substantial. Jiang Yongqi, being only a Third-grade Martial Marquis, was completely inadequate even when he went all out against Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu executed the Prime Yang Finger, his finger energy as sharp as Sword Qi. Jiang Yongqi’s fist power was instantly shattered by the finger energy, which wreaked havoc, unbeatable. Realizing something wasn’t right, Jiang Yongqi applied a mysterious stepping technique to dodge and avoid the finger energy.

But even before he stood stable, another finger energy attacked. Even if Jiang Yongqi’s body technique was swift, he couldn’t dodge the continuous attacks under Su Chengyu.

Pluh!

The finger energy promptly punctured Jiang Yongqi’s shoulder, blood splattering everywhere. Jiang Yongqi was also thrown off the stage, crashing onto the ground. He rolled a few times before jumping up like a fish flipping on the grill, the blood continuing to flow from his shoulder wound.

Other members of the Danyang Dragon Soul Department rushed over to inquire about his injury. Jiang Yongqi waved them off and said, "It’s just a minor injury. It’s nothing serious. He is indeed potent. I can feel that he held back with me."

Liang Youdao said, "You go and treat your wound first."

Liang Youdao then immediately dispatched other people to the field. Among the ten people from the Danyang Dragon Soul Department, except for Jiang Yongqi and Guo Junliang who were in the Martial Marquis Realm, there were six who were Grandmasters, and two were ranked Higher Ninth Grade Grandmasters.

Liang Youdao sent the two Higher Ninth Grade Grandmasters and a lower ranking Grandmaster into the field as cannon fodders, all of them were defeated with injuries.

According to the rules, Su Chengyu also had to step down.

When the Danyang Dragon Soul Department observed Su Chengyu vacating the field, they instinctively knew they had a chance to level the scores. Liang Youdao promptly dispatched the second seed, Guo Junliang.

Qin Siyuan also put forward their four weakest players. The score was tied between both sides. According to the rules, the first to score six would win.

Danyang, in an inspired move, put forth their third seed. This point was crucial. Qin Siyuan could only call his disciple Qiu Ji into battle.

In terms of rank, Qiu Ji was the highest after Su Chengyu, a peak Fifth Grade Grandmaster. But Danyang Dragon Soul Department’s third seed was a Seventh Grade Grandmaster; there were two grades of difference between the two.

Qiu Ji also knew that the opponent was powerful. He had to go all out. He understood the enormity of the responsibility on his shoulders - he must win this point at all costs. He unleashed techniques imparted by Qin Siyuan without holding anything back; his attack was fierce, purely offensive, not losing out in battle strength to Danyang’s third seed.

The third seed from Danyang responded calmly. Although Qiu Ji’s attack was fierce, he dissolved all of them one by one. After all, he was two grades higher. The fighting power Qiu Ji broke out could, at best, deal with a common Sixth Grade Grandmaster.

However, the contestants chosen to compete from the Dragon Soul Department were all elites, outstanding among their peers of the same age and rank. It was extremely hard to overcome a higher-ranking opponent.

After around forty moves, the Danyang contestant started reversing the situation, gaining the upper hand, switching from defense to offense; Qiu Ji was immediately under enormous pressure and at a disadvantage.

"In at most twenty moves, Qiu Ji will lose." Guo Yijian remarked nonchalantly.

"Jiangdong still wants to compete with us; it’s ridiculous! Do they really think that relying on Su Cheng, they can turn things around? What a joke!" Liang Youdao boastfully stated.

Opponent’s attack became progressively stronger; Qiu Ji was hit by a punch. Grunting, he almost fell off the stage, but held on only in time by adopting the Spirit Snake Body Technique to rapidly increase the distance. Therefore, he wasn’t beaten off the stage in one fell swoop by the opponent.

The opponent’s attack was becoming increasingly fierce. He got more and more energetic as the fight went on. It was evident that he wanted to seriously injure Qiu Ji. This was also a directive from Liang Youdao - he wanted to show the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department its place, and at the same time, he wanted Su Chengyu to realize that even if he helped Jiangdong, he could not change the outcome.

Liang Youdao and Guo Yijian were both cautious of Su Chengyu. The current Su Chengyu had gained He Lian Xuan’s favor - the two of them had once desired to put Su Chengyu to death. If Su Chengyu gained power, they wouldn’t be able to live comfortably in the future. Therefore, they would do their utmost to suppress Su Chengyu, they absolutely couldn’t let Su Chengyu grow successfully.

Seeing that the two had exchanged more than sixty moves in the battle, Qiu Ji was at a disadvantage, defeat was looming. The Danyang contestant pursued closely, relentless, giving Qiu Ji no chance to catch his breath.

"Dad, Danyang’s people are hitting with dangerous and fierce attacks; their hearts are punishable!" Qin Muge said.

Qin Siyuan said, "Liang Youdao indeed had malicious intentions. He looked down on us, Jiangdong, and he also had a grudge against Su Cheng. That’s why he really wanted to take us down heavily."

After Qin Siyuan finished speaking, Qiu Ji was hit by the opponent’s palm again and had to step back a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. The opponent instantly sprung into action and stormed up with a fierce palm attack, seeking to severely injure Qiu Ji in a single effort.

Qiu Ji gritted his teeth, made a gesture with both hands, then immediately adopted a horse stance, sinking his qi to his Dantian. His cheeks suddenly puffed up. He next opened his mouth and let out a roar like a roaring male lion.

"Lion Roar Skill?"
