Chapter 692: Chapter 692_1

Qiu Ji launched a sound wave attack, instantly causing deafening noise. Many people, caught off guard, instantly felt a stabbing pain in their ears, reverberating with a buzzing sound.

The number three seed from the Danyang Dragon Soul Department was also unprepared. Closest to the source of the sound, he received the strongest wave of the attack. He instantly screamed in agony, covering his ears subconsciously. Blood seeped from his mouth, nose, and ears.

Qiu Ji saw his opportunity, leaped forward, and performed the continuous kick, directly sending this person flying towards the edge of the stage. The bones in his body were shattered by the kick, and upon landing, he spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Qiu Ji himself collapsed onto the stage, taking in big gulps of air. His face was as white as a sheet. He spat out another mouthful of blood. The referee instantly announced that the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department had won.

The Danyang Dragon Soul Department was taken by surprise. They had not expected their number three seed, who had been expected to win surely, to be defeated unexpectedly by Qiu Ji’s sound wave skill.

Liang Youdao and Guo Yijian stood up, their faces ashen. Losing this round, Danyang was in peril. If they lost another round, the contest would end there and then.

"How could this happen! How could we lose?" Liang Youdao interrogated.

"Grand Airspace Officer, please keep calm. That man unexpectedly knows the Lion Roar Skill, and Ji An was caught off guard, so he was caught by surprise!" Guo Yijian explained.

"Although the Lion Roar Skill is a powerful technique, its lethality is reduced when used by a mere Fifth Grade Grandmaster against Seventh Grade Grandmaster This cannot be the real Lion Roar Skill! And since when did Jiangdong acquire the Lion Roar Skill?" Liang Youdao grumbled with a grimace on his face.

"But we lost after all." Guo Yijian reluctantly said.

However, Liang Youdao refused to accept the defeat and lodged a protest on the grounds that Qiu Ji had violated the rules of the contest by taking some Elixir before its start. He demanded a doping test.

Qiu Ji was injured and could not continue the fight. The referee agreed and ordered a test for Qiu Ji. The referee announced that the competition would continue.

On the stage, Xue Yuqin commented, "A Si Master from Jiangdong’s Dragon Soul Department actually knows the Lion Roar Skill? This is a top martial arts technique that has long been lost and is extremely difficult to practice. Yet, he was able to heavily injure an opponent who is two grades above him with this technique, turning the tables."

He Lian Xuan said calmly, "This isn’t the Lion Roar Skill, but merely a lower-level cultivation technique that imitates it."

"So how did the number three seed from Danyang lose?" Xue Yuqin asked in confusion.

He Lian Xuan answered, "It’s clear that Su Cheng helped him secretly. Don’t forget, he’s a cultivator able to launch Divine Sense Attacks. With Su Cheng’s level, a secret Divine Sense Attack would be too much for a mere Seventh Grade Grandmaster to bear. He’s lucky to not have gone insane or died on the spot. Su Cheng was clearly being merciful."

He Lian Xuan, as a Half-Step Martial Saint and the Grand Minister, saw more clearly than others the key to Qiu Ji’s impressive victory.

"So, they cheated?" Xue Yuqin pointed out.

"Cheated? Yes, you could definite it as such. Do you have any evidence to that effect?" He Lian Xuan chuckled.

"If Su Cheng really did secretly cheat, then it would not be difficult to investigate. We only need to ask the contender of Jiangdong to launch again the sound wave attack which he used before. We can personally test its intensity." Xue Yuqin suggested.

"Well, since Liang Youdao himself did not notice it and only asked for a drug test, let’s overlook it." He Lian Xuan suggested.

On hearing this, Xue Yuqin smiled, "Grand Minister, are you also being biased? If the cheat was not Su Cheng, I believe you would not be so willing to let him off the hook, would you?"

He Lian Xuan casually took a sip from his tea cup and remarked, "Let’s just say I am saving his face. Liang Youdao and Guo Yijian have tried to kill him before, him seeking revenge is only natural. However, if he cheats again in the finals, I will not hold back."

The referee announced that the competition would continue. The next match was extremely crucial for Danyang Dragon Soul Department. They could only win, not lose, otherwise, the competition would simply end.

Liang Youdao had no other option than to send his number four seed, who was a Fifth Grade peak Grandmaster and equally matched with Qiu Ji.

"Father, let me fight," Qin Muge pleaded.

"No, let Jian Zhihao take the stage." Su Chengyu decided at that moment.

Initially, Qin Siyuan intended for Qin Muge to battle. Having received an elixir from Su Chengyu, she was also a Fifth Grade Grandmaster. Her power exceeded that of Jian Zhihao, but since Su Chengyu had spoken, Qin Siyuan chose to trust him, altering their tactics to involve Jiangdong’s number two seed Jian Zhihao in the next match. Jian Zhihao was a Fourth Level Grandmaster, who had the power to stand equal against Danyang’s number four seed, but victory was not easy.

The two took the stage, and Jian Zhihao gave it his all. After sixty moves, he lost but also injured his opponent, which affected his fighting strength.

"Grand Minister, would you like to switch players? The contestant just now is supposedly Jiangdong’s number two seed. They no longer have any strong players left," Guo Yijian asked.

"No switch! Our number five seed is also a Fourth Level Grandmaster. Suppose Jiangdong still has a Four Grade Grandmaster, then it would be unsure who would win! Qin Siyuan is crafty - he might have a hidden Fourth Grade Grandmaster ready. Yun Bin might have gotten a little hurt, but is still okay. Facing a Four Grade Grandmaster, he should be able to easily win."

Liang Youdao wisely decided to be cautious. If they did replace their competitor now, the risk would indeed be greater. Even a Fifth Grade Grandmaster who had taken a few hits, remained the rank he was, and could easily win against a Four Grade Grandmaster.

"Mu Ge, it’s your turn to go on stage, this is the last fight, and I believe you can win," Su Chengyu said.

At this point, Qin Siyuan and Qin Muge understood why Su Chengyu had asked Jian Zhihao to go on stage before. Although Qin Muge, too, was a Fifth Grade cultivator, her foundation was unstable, owing to the hurried advancement in grade with the help of elixirs. Her fighting strength was not as potent as that of the Fifth Grade Grandmaster from Danyang.

But Jian Zhihao has exhausted his strength to hurt the opponent, and if Qin Muge fights next, she would naturally have a greater chance of winning.

"Brother Su Cheng, don’t worry, I will not let you down," Qin Muge clenched her fists, full of fighting spirit. Throughout these two days of competition, Qin Muge had not taken the stage once, making her Jiangdong’s trump card, a move Su Chen had calculated from the beginning.

"Off you go," Su Chengyu said with a smile.

"Mu Ge, go for it!"

The crowd from Jiangdong also cheered for Qin Muge. Now, the score was tied. Whoever won this round would advance to the finals.

Qin Muge leaped onto the stage. Upon seeing her, Liang Youdao sneered, "It seems that Jiangdong is truly out of competitors. Qin Siyuan is even sending his own daughter out. Sadly, she will be defeated within ten moves at most with her skill level."

Liang Youdao had received information from Shen Zhuoyan of Jiangbei, and now had an understanding of various Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department’s members’ skills, thus recognizing Jian Zhihao as the second seed. Victory over him now left Jiangdong without a player to field.

"Indeed! His daughter should be at most a First Grade Grandmaster, right? It’s laughable how Jiangdong, with such power, still dreams of contending with us for a place in the finals. They are overrating themselves!" Guo Yijian laughed.

At the referee’s command, the last match on the stage began!
