Chapter 699: Chapter 699: Unlucky Jiang Yongqi_1

Kuang Sheng also had bad luck; his opponent was from the Feng Yang Dragon Soul Department, whose strength was far superior. Before ten moves were made, Kuang Sheng was defeated and fell from the stage.

Defeated, Kuang Sheng walked back dejectedly. Su Chengyu said, "You should take Lu Hong back to rest first."

Lu Hong waved his hand and said, "I’m alright, I should stay and cheer for Mr. Su and the others from our Dragon Soul Department."

After the first round of competition, there was an hour’s rest time. The winners then returned to Martial Art Field number one for the next round of draws.

In this round, Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department did pretty well, eliminating exactly five opponents, leaving five to progress to the next round. On the other hand, Jiangbei Dragon Soul Department had it hard, with only two progressing to the next round. Feng Yang Dragon Soul Department was the strongest, with seven advancing.

The second round of drawing began on time. Since there were only thirty competitors remaining, divided into fifteen groups, there was a slight change in the rules. The subsequent matches would all be held in Martial Art Field number one. The order of the match-ups was changed to the first against the thirtieth, second against the nineteenth, and so on.

Jiang Yongqi, the number one seed of the Danyang Dragon Soul Department, drew the first number. He immediately entered the arena and after having his number verified by the referee, he looked around for his opponent.

In this Dragon Soul Competition, Jiang Yongqi’s strength was among the top, second only to Su Chengyu and Lee Longqing. Under normal circumstances, he was a sure bet for the top three.

"The contestant who drew number thirty, please enter the stage," the referee said.

Everyone turned to each other, looking for the unfortunate guy who encountered Danyang’s number one seed, only to see Su Chengyu walking slowly onto the stage; his body moved and he was already on stage.

"Jiang Yongqi’s opponent is Su Cheng? He’s really out of luck."

"Ha! Just now, Danyang’s people were speculating about who the unlucky number thirty could be. Little did they know the joke was on them. Jiang Yongqi is about to be disqualified."

The people of Danyang looked gloomy, caught off guard, while some were secretly delighted.

Seeing Su Chengyu take the stage, Jiang Yongqi, who had initially been smiling confidently, suddenly froze with a darkened expression. It was as if he had had a mouthful of chicken poop shoved into his mouth, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

After the referee confirmed Su Chengyu’s number, the match began.

When it came to Su Chengyu, Jiang Yongqi felt a deep animosity. This Dragon Soul Competition should have been his chance to shine and lead Danyang to the team runner-up position. He, too, should have been in the top three.

Unfortunately, his expectations were not met. During the team competition, he was easily defeated by Su Chengyu in the first match and didn’t have the chance to showcase his abilities. He thought that during the individual competition, he would finally have the opportunity to make a name for himself. But to his surprise, he encountered Su Chengyu in the second round and his hope was extinguished once again.

Liang Youdao, standing by, had an equally dark expression. This was his star student, and now he had fallen to Su Chengyu once again. The murderous intent in Liang Youdao’s eyes was visible, as if he wanted to slice Su Chengyu into pieces.

"Su Cheng, it’s you again!"

Grinding his teeth in fury, Jiang Yongqi was filled with resentment and anger but was powerless to do anything. Su Chengyu lifted his right hand, his fingers assumed the shape of a sword, and mana surged from his fingertips. Jiang Yongqi immediately thought back to the previous day when he was injured by Su Chengyu’s Sword Finger.

Su Chengyu’s Sword Finger was too powerful. Although he had used the best medicine, the wound on his shoulder had not fully healed.

Now, seeing Su Chengyu raise his hand again, Jiang Yongqi instinctively retreated two steps. He was still a bit hesitant, feeling a dull pain from his not fully healed wound, and didn’t even have the courage to cross hands with Su Chengyu.

"I surrender!"

Not waiting for Su Chengyu to strike, Jiang Yongqi, with a heavy heart, directly conceded. There was an immediate uproar below the stage, filled with mocking and sarcastic comments, which entered Jiang Yongqi’s ears.

"Even though he’s no match for Su Cheng, he’s still a Martial Marquis. We thought he would at least exchange a few moves with Su Chengyu; he simply gave up?"

"What else could he do if he didn’t surrender? He got injured by Su Chengyu’s two-finger technique yesterday, probably scared him off, and lost his spirit of fight."

Seeing Jiang Yongqi willingly surrender, Su Chengyu lowered his right hand. Without sparing Jiang Yongqi another glance, he landed lightly, completely expressionless. His time on the stage, from entrance to exit, had lasted less than two minutes.

The referee then announced Su Chengyu as the winner and advanced to the next round, while Jiang Yongqi stepped down from the stage with a defeated look. His proud and lofty demeanor disappeared completely, replaced by gloominess and decay.

Liang Youdao patted Jiang Yongqi’s shoulder but didn’t say much. Still, his eyes radiated a chilling glow.

The competition continued, and Su Chengyu remained to watch the fights of others in Jiangdong.

It took nearly two hours for the fifteen-group matches to be completed, putting an end to the morning’s competition.

In this round, only Su Chengyu, Qin Muge, and Qiu Ji remained from Jiangdong. Jian Zhihao and another person were eliminated.

Danyang advanced five people. As the strongest Jiang Yongqi was eliminated, Danyang, like Jiangdong and Jiangnan, only advanced three people. Jianghuai advanced one person, all of Jiangbei were eliminated. Shen Zhuoyan was the biggest loser of this Dragon Soul Competition, his face looked terrible.

With the morning’s competition over, everyone returned to their accommodations. Along the way, they were all discussing the competition and guessing who would be lucky enough to get sign number eight in the next round. According to the rules, the person who drew sign number eight would receive a bye and advance directly to the next round, securing a place in the top eight.

"I hope either Qiu Ji or I can draw sign number eight. That way, we’ll have two people advancing to the top eight!" Qin Muge chatted with everyone during dinner.

"Draw lots depend on luck, and luck is part of one’s ability. Just do your best." Qin Siyuan said.

After a short break, the afternoon competition continued. Except for the first draw, which was presided over by He Lian Xuan himself, the rest of the draws were conducted by the referees, despite He Lian Xuan’s presence.

When everyone had arrived, the referee waved his hand, throwing out little balls. Everyone reached out their hands to grab the balls, in a hurry to open them, praying that they wouldn’t encounter Su Chengyu or Lee Longqing, and hoping to get the number eight.

"I got number eight!"

An excited and joyful voice sounded, attracting everyone’s attention. Qin Muge held up her number slip high, her face full of joy. Everyone on the Jiangdong side also felt happy for her.

Had she not drawn sign number eight, Qin Muge’s chances of advancing to the top eight would have been slim.

Of course, her drawing sign number eight wasn’t just a matter of luck, but also Su Chengyu’s subtle assistance, which naturally led to Qin Muge getting the ball with sign number eight.

The top eight competition officially began. Qin Muge didn’t need to play and stood next to Qin Siyuan, looking relaxed and excited: "Father, Brother Su Cheng, my luck isn’t bad, is it?"

"I suspect it’s not that your luck is good but that Mr. Su has been looking out for you." Qin Siyuan spoke softly.

"Ah? Did Brother Su Cheng secretly help me?"

Qin Muge turned to Su Chengyu, a hint of joy in her heart. Su Chengyu gave a faint smile and said, "I didn’t help, you’re just lucky."
