Moreover, Lin Yang was still crazily catching fish one after another, and even his teammate Xiao Peng managed a steady chain of catches, outperforming many of the Masters present.
In this situation, even if other teams suddenly had a breakthrough and started catching fish continuously, it was basically impossible to surpass Lin Yang’s team.
As time passed, indeed, there were no surprises in the later stages of the competition, and Lin Yang’s team maintained a significant advantage throughout.
By the end, other teams were somewhat disappointing, with many only catching small fish and miscellaneous fish, failing to catch any decent-sized fish, and such teams accounted for the overwhelming majority.
It could be said that if it weren’t for Lin Yang and a few other teams catching some big fish, the location hosting this competition might have been in trouble afterward.
Because it would lead people to misunderstand that there are no big fish here.
Therefore, the local organizers were very grateful to have contestants like Lin Yang, who helped prove the format of the third competition.
In the third competition in Hui Province, Lin Yang once again was the undisputed first place.
Consequently, having won first place in three consecutive competitions, he became the undisputed top rank in the entire series of competitions.
Moreover, due to his significant advantages in two of the competitions, his cumulative points were far ahead of the team ranked second, making him the undisputed leader.
Under such circumstances, the fourth competition seemed to hold no suspense.
They only needed to avoid any outrageous mishaps, such as everyone failing to catch a fish, to secure the first place based on the advantage established in the first three competitions.
There was basically no suspense in the fight for first place in this round.
As for the rankings beyond that, they would undergo significant changes since this round still required some teams to be eliminated, intensifying the competition among those close to the bottom.
Especially after three competitions, the point differences among many teams were not large, so whoever gained an advantage in this fourth competition would have a significant impact on the final results.
Thus, after the third competition, there was widespread discussion about the rankings, especially regarding which teams would advance and which teams would be eliminated, with particular focus on certain high-profile teams and teams with star anglers.
For example, the only three teams composed of popular anglers, a team with a famous female angler, and another with a once top-notch angler now aged Master among others, all of whom had fallen to the lower ranks and even faced the risk of elimination.
After all, with the competition at this level, every team was strong, and almost every team had anglers well-known, with many fans and supporters, so any team being eliminated would lead to disappointment among many.
However, the competition is indeed cruel, and except for Lin Yang’s team, which was exceptionally strong and practically untouchable, other teams, including the popular Master Teams, faced immense pressure to perform.
So, the final fourth competition became the most watched and intensely competitive event in the Hui Province segment.
