Every now and then, someone would throw a pair of drunken punches, making the women in the audience scream.
Or there would be a Sterilization Leg, causing the men in the audience to gasp in shock.
Soon, two minutes passed. At this time, the competition on Martial Arts Platform Number 7 finally reached its conclusion. In the final three seconds, Li Changxiao seized his opponent’s fatal mistake and kicked him off the platform, winning by a hair’s breadth.
"Winner, Li Changxiao!"
As soon as the referee’s voice fell, the young fangirls from Dongguan in the audience became utterly smitten. They called out "Brother Chang Xiao" one after another, wishing they could throw themselves at him.
Seeing this, Li Changxiao, in turn, played up his flirtatious charm, blowing kisses in every direction. The kisses sent the young women blushing, their hearts racing, completely overcome with excitement.
Damn, this dude is so promiscuous; he’s definitely a Womanizer. Su Yan inwardly looked down upon Li Changxiao, sneering at such behavior. But still, deep down, there was a tiny bit of envy.
Quickly, the large screen in the center of the plaza began updating with new data.
Martial Arts Platform Number 1: Qin Hansheng wins!
Martial Arts Platform Number 2: An Shihua wins!
Martial Arts Platform Number 3: Fang Pingyuan wins!
Martial Arts Platform Number 7: Li Changxiao wins!
Martial Arts Platform Number 8: Su Yan wins!
"Shi Hua! Shi Hua! Shi Hua!"
As soon as the screen updated, the female audience members started shouting frantically.
Among the successful candidates who made it to the top eight, only An Shihua was a female candidate. She was their only hope, the hope of all their villages. Whether they knew her or liked her, everyone cheered for her.
It wasn’t long before the data on the screen updated again. This time, it was the pairing for the fourth round of the competition.
Martial Arts Platform Number 1: Su Yan vs. Qin Hansheng
Martial Arts Platform Number 2: Fang Pingyuan vs. Lü Shuyu
Martial Arts Platform Number 3: Li Changxiao vs. Su Yuyue
Martial Arts Platform Number 4: An Shihua vs. Zheng Haixi
As soon as the pairings appeared, the venue immediately erupted.
Real clashes of titans!
Every single match was a peak duel, with no dull moments. The anticipation instantly maxed out.
This was the true battle for top scholar!
Only by entering the top eight did the real competition begin!
"Brother-in-law, we really are fated, to be matched up together!" As soon as he saw the pairing information on the big screen, that scoundrel Qin Hansheng rushed over to Su Yan, saying cheerfully.
Just seeing this guy annoyed Su Yan, who immediately scowled and cursed, "Who the hell are you calling brother-in-law? Stop your nonsense! I’ll beat you so bad your mother won’t recognize you!"
Qin Hansheng was unfazed by the insult, still smiling as he said, "Brother-in-law might be a bit too confident. I’m the most likely to win top scholar this year, and there’s no way I’ll be eliminated in the top eight."
Su Yan felt like cursing, but before he could speak up, Lü Shuyu intervened. He looked at Qin Hansheng with disdain, speaking contemptuously, "Qin Hansheng, don’t you feel ashamed saying that? Everyone knows that every year Narrow State City claims this year will be the most hopeful one. Yet every year ends with you going home after the top eight. You’d better not embarrass yourself further."
Qin Hansheng was infuriated upon hearing this, his face tensed as he retorted, "You m..."
But before he could finish, Su Yan interrupted, "Brother Lü is absolutely right. Just watch, I’ll send him packing from the top eight right back to Narrow State City."
While they were confronting each other, in one of the VIP rooms of the sports hall, the person in charge of the sports hall spoke with a gloomy face to a middle-aged man, saying, "Director Zhang, just now, another candidate went missing. That’s the sixth one."
