Chapter 372: The Final Begins
The commotion here attracted the attention of many onlookers, and although everyone had not yet figured out what was going on, it was vaguely judged from the demeanor and demeanor between Charlie and Thomas that there seemed to be a big gamble between the two.
The corners of Yuris's mouth were crooked, and his heart was excited. Thomas still took the bait in the end, and easily fell into the trap of him and Charlie's agitation.
In fact, they had already discussed with Abel, and they also bought Andrew, no matter what, to help Huaxia enter the finals and create a false impression to confuse Thomas.
You know, human desire can be said to be very subtle, and it is difficult to control. As long as Thomas swells slightly, it is easy to be provoked by words, and then completely lose his mind.
This kind of tactic is somewhat similar to the trick of the casino, if you don't put some water in advance to let those gamblers win, how can you end up bankrupt?
"Grandpa, you're impulsive, don't you think there's something wrong with this?" Catherine sighed softly, a little helpless.
She is full of confidence in Chu Fan, thinking that the Chinese players will definitely perform well, but it does not mean that the entire Howard family has to be pressed.
Besides, Charlie and Ulris are obviously singing and harmonizing, and they come prepared, maybe they are doing something famous behind their backs, how can grandpa easily agree?
"Kelly, are you really old and confused grandpa? can't you see that the two old boys Charlie and Yuris are provoking me?" Hearing this, Thomas looked calm.
"Huh?" Catherine paused, seeing that Thomas's demeanor had clearly seen through all this.
However, since you have seen through it, why should you take this gamble, and you have to press the entire Howard family, aren't you afraid of capsizing in the gutter?
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, after all, it was Abel, and his strength was comparable to that of the student powerhouses that existed at the end of the list.
And although Jiang Xintong is a student of the master Chu Jiuyou, he is not well-known, and his strength is unknown, so he recklessly bets his net worth on the other party, which is somewhat Meng Lang.
"What do the old bastards of Charlie and Yuris think I don't know? They all thought that Abel had won this game and wanted to play with me. But in my opinion, not necessarily. ”
"Since they're going to gamble, let's just bet bigger, I'd rather see if it's Thomas's luck or if their foreheads are brighter!" Thomas tightened the communicator in his hand, his eyes twinkling.
"But aren't you ......?" Catherine stopped talking, just now her grandfather was still complaining that there was no one in Huaxia, how could she be so confident in Huaxia's players in the blink of an eye, as if she had suddenly changed people.
Just because you won the first game, do you think Huaxia is amazing?
In fact, Catherine didn't know that since the ball was over, Thomas had sent someone to Huaxia to investigate carefully, but he had never received a reply.
It wasn't until just now, just as Charlie and Uurith came to provoke, that he received a text message on his communicator.
It was learned that the Huaxia girl in the gladiatorial arena was not only Chu Jiuyou's personal disciple, but also a student powerhouse who defeated Dale Gao's disciple Songchai with a slap.
Song Chai, known as one of the top masters of ancient boxing in T country, is also a personal student of Professor Dale, a master of spiritual power.
Even Abel and Andrew may not be able to defeat the enemy in one move.
And Jiang Xintong almost completely abolished Songchai with just one slap, which shows that her strength should not be inferior to Abel and Andrew.
Therefore, Thomas has the confidence to take Charlie's gamble.
"Alright, Kelly, Grandpa has a plan. What's more, the gamble has been decided, even if you want to regret it, it's too late, let's watch the game with peace of mind!" Thomas patted Kelly on the shoulder and smiled lightly.
......
Chu Fan naturally didn't know about this big gamble between Charlie and Thomas, at this moment, he was quietly sensing the breath of the vampire soul beast body in the ancient castle.
The other party is worthy of being a demon beast at the peak level of blood refining, how powerful the power of the divine soul is, almost the entire ancient castle is shrouded in its spiritual power, and even the ants on the ground can't escape its perception.
In other words, once this vampire soul beast attacks, the creatures in the entire castle will be doomed.
However, for Chu Fan, this is nothing at all.
If it had been half a year ago, Chu Fan might have been afraid of the strength of this demon beast, but since he cultivated into the Battle Ancient Chaos Body, the power of his divine sense had skyrocketed tenfold.
Compared to him now, the other party's little bit of Taoism is almost negligible.
"Found it!"
The power of the divine consciousness was as vast as a sea of smoke, and Chu Fan quickly locked on to the main body of the vampire soul beast.
It was a chamber deep in the castle, dimly lit, rusty, thick with lead dust, and filled with the smell of rot and blood.
In the center of the secret room, a huge coffin stood prominently, black shadows were entangled, and blood was thick, as if something terrible wanted to break out of the coffin.
If it weren't for the suppression of the silver cross exuding wisps of divine breath on the coffin, at this moment, the contents of the coffin would have already seen the light of day.
"Hmm, it seems that the people of the Holy See sealed it, no wonder!" Chu Fan smacked his tongue secretly.
Although the vampire soul beast was powerful, it was inherently subject to the golden Dao method in the cultivation world.
For example, the power of the sun, the silver cross, etc., these are actually a kind of inheritance of the golden Dao method.
According to Chu Fan's current understanding of the earth, only the Western Holy See seems to have inherited some of the skins of the Golden Dao Method.
However, due to the erosion of the years, the power of the silver cross suppressed on the coffin has long been consumed, and even if there is still a little deterrence against the vampire soul beast, it will definitely not last long.
'It seems that when necessary, I still have to help it' Chu Fan thought in his heart, his eyes suddenly condensed.
"Brother Chu Fan, have you noticed that thing is getting closer and closer to us, as if it is hiding in a corner and watching us, I seem to hear its heartbeat. At this time, Jiang Xintong came over and said with a frightened look in his eyes.
Since stepping into the castle, she has never relaxed her mood at all, and she is always in a state of high vigilance.
Even when I participated in the competition, I looked around from time to time, as if I was facing a great enemy.
It's not because I'm afraid of the strength of Abel and the others, but out of an instinctive reaction, the fear of the unknown power lurking in the shadows.
"Don't care, with me, you just need to play with peace of mind!" Chu Fan Gujing Wubo, as if he didn't take that unknown power to heart at all.
Yes, it's just a bloodsucking soul beast, how can you let the dignified Nine Shadows Saint Venerable put it in his eyes.
Hearing this, Jiang Xintong nodded, it seems that Chu Fan has already been in his chest, even if this is the case, why should she worry about it?
"By the way, Brother Chu Fan, what do you think of that Abel?" Jiang Xintong calmed down and returned his gaze to the exchange competition.
"Let's talk to you for half a catty!" Chu Fan replied truthfully:
"His ability cultivation and combat literacy are the most outstanding among these students, but in terms of the purity of spiritual power in the body and the use of spiritual power, he is far inferior to you. So, it's not hard for you to beat him, but it takes some energy. ”
"It just so happens that you can accumulate some actual combat experience with such a comparable opponent!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xintong immediately understood, it seemed that Chu Fan wanted to take the opportunity to exercise himself.
"Don't worry, Brother Chu Fan, I won't let you down!" Jiang Xintong smiled, but her eyes were extremely firm.
It didn't take long for the second round to officially kick off.
This match is a two-on-two match, a total of three games, and the opponent is decided by drawing lots.
In the cheers of Xu Huan and others, Jiang Xintong walked to the duel venue, and Abel and others also slowly appeared in the cheers of the scene.
Stage.
James appeared in front of everyone with a closed black iron box:
"There are four slips of paper with four names written on them, pick one of your own!"
Jiang Xintong took the lead and picked one in the iron box.
Immediately afterwards, Abel and the others also picked one each.
The scene suddenly fell silent, and all the media cameras were focused on the four players on the stage, apparently wanting to see the final situation of the draw.
On the other side of the camera, the nobles of country Y who watched the live broadcast also boiled instantly.
The first round is just an appetizer after all, and this second round is the real highlight of this exchange competition.
"If you want me to say, you should let that chick in Huaxia draw Abel!"
"It's just that she doesn't have much strength anyway, and she won the first place by pure opportunism, so she has to be the first to be eliminated in the second round. ”
Everyone talked about it, and they all felt that Jiang Xintong was able to stand on the stage by cheating, and there was no point in going on with the game.
In their opinion, whether it is Abel, Andrew or Chiya Ito, they are all real strength players, even if there is a gap between the three, it doesn't matter.
If you really start to do it, it must be full of highlights.
Only Jiang Xintong is opportunistic and vulnerable.
That being the case, it is better to let Abel eliminate her first, and save other players from drawing Abel, and miss an opportunity in vain.
However, these people don't know that at this moment, Jiang Xintong's heart also hopes to be able to draw Abel.
Because only Abel is qualified to really compete with her.
"Okay, the draw is over, now please open the note in your hand and announce the opponent of the competition!"
With James's order, the four of them opened the note in their hands one after another.
"Andrew!" Jiang Xintong sighed, a trace of regret flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Damn, it's Abel!" and Ito Chiya secretly cried out in his heart that he was unlucky.
As for Abel and Andrew, their faces were expressionless and their expressions were calm, as if it didn't matter who their opponents were.
Soon, the second round officially began.
The first match was played by Abel against Chiya Ito.
As James' whistle blew, the two players took their positions and prepared for the battle.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the castle, and surrounded by a group of people, three elders with extraordinary bearing sat down on the judges' seat.
