In the temporary logistics base of West Cloud Academy, the atmosphere was extremely depressing and strange. Be it their actions or words, the people in the base appeared to be a little careful. They were afraid to anger Feng Xiao, who was sitting at the side with a terrifying and dark expression, looking abnormally vexed. The eighth round of the elimination round had just ended.
Although Feng Xiao had relied on his powerful inherited cultivation method in the seventh round to erupt with astonishing combat strength and defeat a powerful opponent who was at the perfection-stage Overlord Body and was only a step away from breaking through to the Internal Breath realm, he had encountered an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist in the next eighth round and was defeated without any suspense.
There was only one round left until the finals. This fact naturally made Feng Xiao extremely unwilling
However, he was powerless to change this fact. The difference in strength between martial artists was extremely direct. The stronger party had indeed won. With his current strength at the fourth-stage Overlord Body realm, no one would be surprised if he was defeated by an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist who was an entire level higher.
However… there were accidents in this world.
Feng Xiao turned around slightly and his gaze landed on another corner of the temporary base.
At this moment, a group of people surrounded Chu Nan. The atmosphere was different from here and it was relaxed and happy.
“This damned guy, how can he pass the eighth round!” Feng Xiao gritted his teeth, feeling furious and puzzled.
Not only was Feng Xiao puzzled that Chu Nan could pass the eighth round of the elimination rounds, most of the people in West Cloud Academy were also puzzled. After all, Chu Nan was only an initial-stage Overlord Body Realm Martial Artist. It was understandable that he could pass the first few rounds, but how could he pass the next few rounds, especially in the competition where there were so many experts today?
Chu Nan ignored the complicated gazes that were thrown at him. Instead, he lowered his head and carefully studied the information displayed on the virtual screen of his personal terminal.
This information was brought over by Deputy Dean Payne just now. The content inside was about the opponents he would face in the ninth round of the elimination rounds.
Name: Saha
Number: 9526
Country: Kingdom of Kexley
Chu Nan did not have any thoughts about the name ‘Saha’. His main attention was focused on ‘9526’ and ‘Kingdom of Kexley’.
The guy who had severely injured Luo Li earlier was also from the Kingdom of Kexley. The number was 9527, which was one number away. If he was not wrong, the two of them should be companions.
Then, from this point of view, Saha’s strength would not be weak.
Moreover, according to this information that Deputy Dean Payne had gathered, the strength that Saha had displayed in the previous eight rounds was indeed extraordinary. The initial judgment was that he was at least an initial-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, and it was possible that he was still hiding his strength.
Apart from recording these calculations, this information also gathered all the videos of the previous eight rounds of the competition.
After Chu Nan carefully read through it, he discovered that Saha did not reveal much in the first eight rounds. Apart from being able to tell that his moves were extremely stable and rarely revealed any flaws, he could not see anything else. After all, it was very difficult to see Internal Breath in the video information. To a martial artist above the Internal Breath Realm, the strength and how to use Internal Breath were the most important factors in determining strength.
However, Chu Nan still looked at it seriously.
With his current strength, he did not expect to use his Internal Breath to suppress his opponent. The possibility of defeating an Internal Breath expert could only be suppressed through his powerful data ability.
Analyzing these videos could allow him to roughly grasp the characteristics of Saha’s martial technique. At the same time, he could collect a large amount of physical data and determine his exact ability. It was very helpful for the upcoming battle.
After looking at it for a while, Deputy Dean Payne appeared in front of Chu Nan again.
“Heh, Chu Nan, the competition is about to begin. How’s your preparation?”
Chu Nan raised his head and revealed a brilliant smile to Deputy Dean Payne.
“Deputy Dean, no matter how well prepared I am, I can only know the truth in the arena, right?”
Deputy Dean Payne laughed, “Very good. It seems that you have more confidence than I thought.”
After saying that, he patted Chu Nan’s shoulder.
“Alright, go!” Chu Nan went through the information in his mind and stood up.
He had just taken two steps when a figure suddenly blocked Chu Nan.
“Feng Xiao, what are you doing?” Chu Nan looked at him in shock. Feng Xiao’s face sank as he stared at Chu Nan from head to toe a few times and sneered.
“Chu Nan, I’m warning you. If you dare to lose this round, I’ll definitely not let you have a good time when we return to the academy!” “Huh?” Chu Nan looked at him in confusion.
However, after Feng Xiao threw this sentence, he turned around and left without giving Chu Nan a chance to ask.
“Heh, what’s wrong with this kid?” Dong Fang appeared out of nowhere and muttered to Feng Xiao’s back.
“How would I know…” Chu Nan shrugged. “Alright, don’t bother about him. Chu Nan, do you have to be so serious? Isn’t your opponent in this round only a second-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist? Isn’t the guy you dealt with in the seventh round the same?”
Chu Nan smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I’ve already told you. That opponent in the seventh round underestimated his opponent. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have won so easily.”
“Ha, look. You said that you wouldn’t win so easily, not that you won’t. Very good, it seems that you’re indeed very confident now. Hmm… I can’t be bothered to say so much nonsense. In short, do your best.”
Dong Fang patted Chu Nan’s back and pushed him to the predetermined competition venue.
The other students in the logistics base looked around. Just as they were hesitating, Feng Xiao suddenly shouted.
“What are you all doing here? Aren’t you going to cheer for Chu Nan?”
The other students looked at Feng Xiao in surprise. Seeing that his expression was extremely serious and did not have the slightest intention of joking, they reacted and hurriedly followed behind.
After all, Chu Nan was the only hope left in the group below the age of 20. If they did not cheer for him, it would not make sense.
A moment later, the group of people had already arrived at the competition venue.
Because it was the last round of the elimination rounds, there were 64 matches left in the adult group. There were only 32 competitions left in the group below the age of 20. Even if they were to be held at the same time, they only occupied 96 venues.
Compared to the previous competition that had more than a thousand venues open at the same time, the last round had become abnormally concentrated, so it was naturally easier to attract a large number of spectators.
The area beside the competition venue that Chu Nan was in was already surrounded by thousands of people. It was so crowded that not even a drop of water could pass through, and there was only a competition passageway left.
The group of people from West Cloud Academy sent Chu Nan to the entrance of the competition passageway and cheered him on.
Chu Nan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the venue, he turned around and saw a familiar face filled with unyieldingness.
