Chapter 755: Challenging Wu Liu
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The second match of the top one hundred competition was against a young man named He Xiang, who hailed from Moon City.
Compared to people like Wu Liu, He Xiang was relatively staying low profile and don’t social much. However, he gained considerable attention after defeating a top contender for the championship.
Of course, the main focus was still on his opponent.
Before stepping onto the arena, He Xiang had been repeatedly warned by his cousin He Xiao Xiao. He could fight, but he must avoid any conversation.
If he noticed anything unusual about Zhao Yu, he should immediately concede.
Even advancing to the top ten would only earn a bottle of second-tier divine medicine which it is really not much useful to them from Moon City.
By comparing to the consequences of offending Zhao Yu, it wasn’t worth it.
After all, even a third-tier expert like Wu Yong Wei suffered at Zhao Yu’s hands, losing two bottles of second-tier divine medicine and one bottle of third-tier divine medicine.
In the end, the cost would likely be covered by Wu Liu’s backer, who was a member on the Sequence. This showcased Zhao Yu’s inherent intimidation.
At the very least, He Xiang himself couldn’t afford a bottle of third-tier divine medicine.
Therefore, he took He Xiao Xiao’s advice seriously.
“He Xiang, what’s your relationship with He Xiao Xiao?!”
On the stage, the host had briefly introduced both contestants.
Zhao Yu, having been stifled for too long, kept trying to engage He Xiang in conversation.
However, He Xiang remained silent, like a mute, with a very odd, dazed expression.
After a while, Zhao Yu, finding it boring, stopped the interaction with He Xiang.
Soon enough, the host announced the start of the match.
“How about we decide the winner just in one move? To save us some time!”
As Zhao Yu was about to charge, He Xiang suddenly spoke up to suggest a quick deal in one move.
Zhao Yu became interested, “How do you propose we determine the winner in one move?!”
“I’ve heard that you have a special physique that allows you to quickly recover energy.”
“So a prolonged battle is unnecessary…”
“Why don’t we compete in the upper limit of Vitality that we can mobilize? Whoever has the highest Vital QI and blood energy will win. What do you think?”
“So you are confident enough with your upper limit?”
“Sure!”
Zhao Yu nodded and said,” Then, how about we compare the upper limit of the instantaneous mobilization?!”
“Alright!”
He Xiang thought about it. Anyway, as long as he didn’t really fight with Zhao Yu, it was fine.
“You go first!” Zhao Yu naturally didn’t want to lose. Whether he could instantly mobilize his Qi and Blood energy to the maximum depended on whether he used technological points to perfect his technique.
He Xiang didn’t hesitate either. He raised his hand and instantly mobilized his Qi and Blood energy.
“Swish!”
The vigorous energy spread out in his hand directions.
In the next second, nearly two hundred points of qi and blood were attached to his hands and form a visible blood sword.
Finally, the qi and blood energy value stopped at two hundred and ten points.
He Xiang quickly dispersed the energy and explained, “I am now at the high level of the second tier, with a vitality value around one thousand. The technique I cultivate is of high rank earth level and has reached the minor achievement stage…”
In fact, he had already heard that Zhao Yu could instantly mobilize his Qi and blood energy to reach two hundred and fifty points.
On the arena, after careful consideration, he still felt it was better not to fight Zhao Yu; it was too troublesome if anything happened to him. It is best to lose now.
For a second-tier divine medicine that might not even be obtained, it wasn’t worth it.
After all, only the top ten could get it, and his strength among the people from Moon City was only ranked around fourteenth or fifteenth. Even if he defeated Zhao Yu, it wouldn’t matter.
It was better to just lose the match and gained Zhao Yu favor.
In his view, he could indeed win against Zhao Yu. After all, his vitality value limit was one thousand, while Zhao Yu’s was barely over three hundred. Even if Zhao Yu could recover quickly and mobilize two hundred and fifty points instantly? The limit was still there.
With his high rank earth level martial art technique reaching the minor achievement level, his strongest strike could attach four hundred and fifty points of Qi and Blood energy, a level strong enough to kill people without using any weapon.
Seeing He Xiang only showing two hundred and ten points of Qi and blood energy as his upper limit, Zhao Yu also understood that the opponent was conceding gracefully.
He did not show his strongest side either, displaying only an instant two hundred and fifty points of Qi and Blood energy
“I lost!”
He Xiang said with a relieved expression, then quickly jumped off the arena and left without looking back.
Zhao Yu had intended to say a few words, but the decisiveness of He Xiang’s departure left him feeling frustrated, even losing the enthusiasm for winning the match.
“Forget it, if that’s the case, I might as well go back and train!”
Zhao Yu sighed and couldn’t be bothered to continue watching the competition. He went straight back to his residence.
He now had a quota of 2.3 million magic potions, enough to train to the intermediate level of the second tier.
Additionally, he had two potions of second-tier divine medicine and one potion of third-tier divine medicine to be redeemed in Moon City.
“I’m so rich now!”
Zhao Yu started consuming the magic potions.
In the following days, Zhao Yu participated in another match. The opponent was also from Moon City and, coincidentally, it was Wu Liu.
Surprisingly, Wu Liu didn’t even try anything and directly conceded.
Of course, conceding didn’t mean he had no chance to advance to the top ten.
The top one hundred competition adopted a double-elimination system. Those who lost a match could still participate in the losers’ bracket and eventually re-enter the top ten finals.
Wu Liu just didn’t want to fight Zhao Yu.
Throughout the entire Immortal Medicine Convention, Zhao Yu seemed to be a spectator. Except for the match with Li Tian Ba, they fought each other seriously and the rest of the matches were just formalities.
In this way, he smoothly entered the top ten and secured a guaranteed second-tier divine medicine.
Zhao Yu was satisfied, earning a second-tier divine medicine for free would make anyone happy.
Meanwhile, over these days, he also finished consuming the magic potions worth 2.3 million..
