Chapter 208 Advancing to the Top Five
"The martial arts competition is over. Lu Qingying defeated Wei Ranran."
"In the fourth martial arts match, Meng Jiamu faced off against Yin Yuqing."
Please have two students come up to the stage for a contest.
As the martial arts competition progressed round after round, the students watching from below the stage were completely engrossed.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, these elite students would never have imagined the strength of Dongchuan Province's top martial arts genius.
The live broadcast of the martial arts competition, which was rebroadcast by the provincial television station, was watched by more than 100 million people.
Of the 100 million viewers, those from Dongchuan Province naturally accounted for the largest proportion. In addition to Dongchuan Province, many people from Xichuan, Yunchuan, and even the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi also watched the show.
The martial arts matches between the members of the genius team are all decided within five minutes.
So, just over an hour later, the two strongest players from the first division emerged.
Host Li Shumin announced: "Dear viewers, let me explain the members of the genius team—"
The competition was divided into two zones.
The second division is the competition for the top ten.
All participants in the second division have been tested and are exceptionally talented, with a chance to compete for a place in the top ten.
The members of the genius team in the second division are mostly Grandmaster seeds and members with more than 1500 calories of energy, so they will not compete with the members of the first division.
After several rounds of competition, two members from the first division emerged victorious: Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao.
"According to the rules, the first place winner in the first division can participate in the top ten competition in the second division."
"Next, please welcome Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao to the stage for the final of the first division."
After the host Li Shumin finished speaking, Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao stepped onto the battle stage at the same time.
Off the stage, Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't contain her excitement: "Siyu, look, Yunxiao has made it to the finals! I just calculated that Yunxiao defeated a total of seven members of the genius team."
Now all that's left is to defeat Ning Xingchen, and then we can successfully advance to the top ten competition.
Qin Siyu responded with an "oh" that remained unchanged.
But in his heart he was thinking, if Chen Lie wasn't in the finals of the first division, then that means Chen Lie was directly assigned to the top ten competition of the second division.
Being directly assigned to the top ten competition means that their strength far surpasses that of the genius team members in the first division, and they do not need to compete to prove their strength.
On the stage, Qi Yunxiao looked at Ning Xingchen and said, "Ning Xingchen, we have sparred countless times, but the result has always been a draw. Unless we fight to the point of exhaustion, we cannot determine a winner."
It would be rather unseemly to fight to the point of exhaustion in front of a large audience and on live television across the province.
How about this, we settle the score with one move?
"Okay!" Ning Xingchen nodded slightly.
After the announcement of "The duel begins" was made on the fighting stage, Ning Xingchen and Qi Yunxiao each gathered their strength and unleashed their strongest martial arts techniques.
"A fleeting glimpse of blood!"
"Hongbo Six Soldiers Fist!"
On the fighting stage, blood and light clashed with the surging force of fists, and a thunderous sound rang out.
The elite students in the front row couldn't help but cover their ears.
After exchanging blows, Qi Yunxiao and Ning Xingchen on the fighting platform were seen to retreat due to the force of the recoil.
After stopping, Qi Yunxiao said, "I took one more step back than you. I lost!"
After saying that, Qi Yunxiao jumped off the battle platform.
Meanwhile, as the martial arts competition was underway, the host began announcing the results: "In the first division finals, Ning Xingchen defeated Qi Yunxiao and advanced to the top ten competition."
Below the stage, Fang Xiaoxiao, upon hearing the result, couldn't help but ask, "Why? Yunxiao clearly didn't lose!"
"It seems like it's going to be decided in one move," Qin Siyu said.
"I saw that Yunxiao's punches were powerful just now, and he didn't seem to be at a disadvantage."
"They should have their own methods of judgment."
A beautiful reporter from the provincial TV station walked onto the stage, holding a microphone and smiling at the camera: "Hello everyone, students and viewers in front of the screen. The results of the martial arts competition in the first division of the Genius Team have been determined."
Next, we will hold the top ten competition in the second division.
The top ten competition has thirteen participants: Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Tang Jiuer, Chen Lie, Lu Qingyun, Mo Sheng, Song Yixuan, Ning Xingchen, Jiang Mingyue, Hou Qinglin, Guan Qi, and Liu Wan.
Students, please get ready. The second division's top ten competition is about to begin!
In the waiting room behind the battle arena, the genius group steward of the Martial Arts Association walked around among the crowd, trying to persuade them.
"Students, get ready. Be prepared to go into battle at any time. You will be randomly selected to go on stage for a competition in a little while."
Chen Lie closed his eyes to rest in the chair in the waiting room. Inside the waiting room, Jiang Minghua from Changsheng Pharmaceutical Company, along with representatives from other companies, entered to extend their regards to their respective company's brand ambassadors.
"Chen Lie, how are you doing right now? Are you confident you can get into the top three?"
Chen Lie opened his eyes, glanced at Jiang Minghua, and said, "Didn't I tell you that my goal is to be number one and become the provincial martial arts champion?"
Jiang Minghua gave an awkward smile and said, "I know, what I mean is, if you fail to win the first place in the martial arts competition, are you confident in securing a top-three ranking?"
For businesses, being number one, in the top three, or outside the top three has different effects.
The number one martial arts champion will undoubtedly make the company a fortune. The sales of products endorsed by the top three are also very impressive. Small pharmaceutical companies like Wu Kuishou don't dare to dream of such a thing. As long as Chen Lie can achieve a top-three finish in the martial arts competition, they can guarantee that their investment will yield a return of more than three times.
"There's no chance of failure; first place is definitely mine," Chen Lie said.
Seeing the confidence in Chen Lie's words, Jiang Minghua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Lie, I dare not ask for the title of Martial Arts Champion. As long as you can win the top three in this Martial Arts Competition, I am willing to pay you another 8000 million Star Yuan, and I guarantee that it will arrive in your account within two days."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.
On the other side, Yang Ningbing, a representative of Longyue Group, also went to visit Wang Dongting.
"Wang Dongting, you have won the title of Dongchuan Province's martial arts champion for two consecutive years."
If he performs normally this time, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to retain the title, right?
The employees of Longyue Group and I will be cheering you on from below.
The promised 2.5 million Star Dollars have already been deposited into the account you provided.
Wang Dongting nodded slightly: "Representative Yang, there's no need to worry. Just wait for the results."
I am determined to win the title of the top martial arts champion.
"With Wang saying that, I'm relieved. I'll go wait for your good news from the sidelines now."
Yang Ningbing smiled slightly and then left the waiting room.
After exchanging a few more words with Chen Lie, Jiang Minghua left the waiting room.
"Chen Lie, you've taken on an endorsement deal too?" Luo Zhixun asked Chen Lie with some surprise.
Chen Lie hummed in agreement, then showed Luo Zhixun the information about the company he was endorsing.
"Dongchuan Changsheng Pharmaceutical? Isn't that a small company? I've never heard of it before?" Luo Zhixun asked curiously.
"It's just a small company."
"For a small company, the endorsement fee probably isn't much, right?"
"Not much, but the owner of this place is related to me, and he took the initiative to contact me, so I'm too lazy to choose another company for a few tens of millions of star coins."
"If we're related, it's really hard to refuse."
After saying that, Luo Zhixun did not say anything more.
On the stage, the host announced: "The first match of the top ten competition, Tang Jiu'er vs. Hou Qinglin."
Please have two students come up to the stage for a contest.
Upon hearing the sound in the battle room, Tang Jiu'er immediately went up to the battle platform and stood opposite Hou Qinglin.
"This Tang Jiu'er seems to be a Grandmaster seed member as well?"
"Grandmaster seeds and ordinary members don't seem to be much different. That Grandmaster seed named Cui Jinyang didn't even make it into the top ten competition."
"Could it be that the Grandmaster seeds have greater potential than the ordinary members?"
"That's possible!"
On the fighting stage, the voice announced, "The martial arts competition begins."
Tang Jiu'er's figure flickered, and an afterimage appeared on the battle stage.
A loud "bang" was heard.
Hou Qinglin collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"The competition is over. Tang Jiu'er defeated Hou Qinglin and advances to the top ten."
The crowd below the arena erupted in uproar.
"This...this Grandmaster seed is a bit different!"
"The gap between the members of the province's top youth talent team is really that big? A battle ended in a second?"
"This is outrageous. Hou Qinglin didn't even have time to react."
In the VIP section, Xu Tianchuan, president of the Martial Arts Association, smiled.
Tang Jiu'er, a genius member of the group, is a top-tier member, capable of winning a place in the Sichuan Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
People.
"The second match of the top ten competition, Chen Lie vs. Ning Xingchen."
Please invite the two students to come up on stage for a martial arts competition.
Upon hearing his name called, Chen Lie immediately stood up and climbed onto the battle platform from the side.
On the battle stage, Chen Lie and Ning Xingchen stood facing each other.
"I heard you've made great progress lately?" Ning Xingchen said, looking at Chen Lie.
"Fine, I'll give you some dignity."
"Then let's give it a try!"
Ning Xingchen assumed a fighting stance, secretly gathering his strongest martial arts technique.
Until the announcement that "the martial arts competition begins" was made.
Ning Xingchen unleashed his martial arts instantly, and a bloody shadow appeared between his palms.
Chen Lie simply threw a punch, and Ning Xingchen felt an irresistible force strike him. The blood shadows in his palms instantly dissipated, and he was blasted off the battle stage by the violent force.
"The competition has ended. Chen Lie defeated Ning Xingchen and advanced to the top ten."
Seeing this scene from behind the VIP seats, Jiang Minghua couldn't help but clap and cheer.
The elite students below the stage were shocked, especially the elite students from the provincial key high school.
"Senior Chen Lie, you're amazing! You knocked the strongest fighter from the first division off the stage with just one punch!"
"That's the true spirit of a Grandmaster seed member! That Cui Jinyang is just too weak!"
"I wonder who is stronger, Senior Chen Lie or that Tang Jiu'er from earlier."
Chen Lie stepped down from the battle platform and returned to the waiting room.
Another round of competition begins.
"The third match of the top ten competition, Luo Zhixun vs. Mo Sheng."
Please have two students come up to the stage for a contest.
Qin Siyu couldn't help but glance at Feng Shuangshuang, Chen Lie's cousin, not far away, and saw that she was also full of surprise.
Chen Lie defeated a member of the genius team who had emerged from so many martial arts competitions in the first division with a single move. Just how high has Chen Lie's martial arts reached?
The martial arts competition ended quickly, very quickly.
After six rounds of martial arts sparring, all members whose health points were slightly above 1,500 were eliminated.
Seven people directly advanced to the top ten.
The eliminated contestants went through a revival round and six matches before the top ten were determined.
A beautiful reporter from the provincial TV station announced, "The top ten list for this martial arts competition has been released."
They are Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Chen Lie, Tang Jiu'er, Lu Qingyun, Song Yixuan, Liu Wan, Guan Qi, and Jiang Mingyue.
Next, the competition for the top five will begin. Please prepare yourselves.
"In the first match of the top five competition, Chen Lie faced off against Tang Jiu'er."
Please have two students come up to the stage for a contest.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Lie immediately got up and went up to the battle stage.
Tang Jiu'er walked towards Chen Jie, looked at him, and revealed a wicked smile: "Chen Lie, I remember I said before that if we met in the All-People Martial Arts Competition, I would definitely teach you a lesson."
I didn't expect to be matched with you in the second round of the top five. I'm giving you a chance now. If you beg for mercy loudly, I might go easy on you later.
"I'll also give you this advice: beg for mercy loudly, and I might show leniency."
Upon hearing this, Tang Jiu'er immediately retorted angrily, "You little brat, you're asking for a beating!"
Chen Lie remained silent, waiting for the prompts from the battle arena.
The audience was also very excited and eager to know how the Grandmaster Seeds would fight.
The announcement that "the martial arts competition has begun" arrived as scheduled.
Tang Jiu'er snorted coldly and struck out with a palm carrying tremendous force.
"Smoke Silk Palm!"
Facing Tang Jiu'er's palm strike with nearly ten thousand jin of force, Chen Lie neither dodged nor avoided, but directly struck out with his own palm, clashing with her powerful palm force.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Luo Zhixun was thrown back several steps by the force of the impact.
"How do you possess such immense strength?"
Tang Jiu'er was always proud of her strength of over nine thousand jin, but she never expected that this unknown Chen Lie could actually compete with her in strength and even surpass her.
Chen Lie was naturally not forced to retreat by the residual force of the recoil. Seeing Tang Jiu retreat, he immediately went to meet him.
He countered with a grappling technique from basic fighting skills, grabbing Tang Jiu'er's arm, and then used the Dislocating Tendon and Bone Hand technique.
Upon seeing this, Tang Jiu'er panicked and struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free at all.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she raised her leg to kick Chen Lie hard in the forehead, but Chen Lie blocked it with his arm.
"asshole!"
Tang Jiu'er clenched her teeth and, left with no other choice, delivered a knee kick.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lie immediately kicked Tang Jiu'er's knee back, increasing the force of his Bone-Dislocating Technique.
With a "snap" sound, Tang Jiu'er broke out in a cold sweat.
She instantly felt Chen Lie dislocate her right arm.
He immediately said, "I admit defeat!"
The host in the audience was also stunned by this scene and quickly announced: "In the first match of the top five competition, Chen Lie defeated Tang Jiu'er and advanced to the top five."
After hearing the host announce the result, Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but say, "You jerk, I've already admitted defeat, why aren't you letting go?"
