Chapter 135: Semi-finals
After speaking, Qu Defei put away his long sword and returned to the team of Flame City in the eyes of everyone, leaving Han Yixin to stay on the competition field.
[In this game, the players of Tianyu City won with one heart! ] 】
Nongshan announced the results of the competition, and at the same time announced the list of the final four players: [Now I announce that the top four players in the three-city competition are Tianyu City players Xuan Yue and Han Yixin, Heishui City players Shang Yang, and Yanhuo City players Lie Yan. 】
When the top four players were produced, the onlookers on the competition field suddenly became noisy, and the reason why everyone was so noisy was that on the one hand, the results of the competition were announced, and everyone knew the strength of these contestants.
But on the other hand, when the results of the second round were announced, many of the warriors who bet in the second round lost miserably, and some made a lot of money.
Among this group of people, Lao Guo, who had been betting on Tianyu City at the beginning, was happy at the moment. I saw that he was holding the three medium-grade spirit stones he had won in his hand, and he was really excited in his heart.
In the excitement, I only heard Lao Guo complaining anxiously: [Damn, it's finally doubled, I really didn't expect that the young man named Xuanyue in Tianyu City would be so powerful. I decided, the next bet, all the money to buy Xuanyue to win! 】
When Lao Guo made this bold decision, he saw him shouting towards Nong Shan on the martial arts field: [Hurry up and announce the next event arrangement, Lao Tzu is going to continue to bet!] 】
As soon as this statement came out, many people echoed it, and it was obvious that many people wanted to know how Brahma County would arrange the next event.
After all, the next is the four-in-two format, that is, among the remaining four players who will advance, two more winners will be selected to advance to the finals, and the first and second places will be determined.
As for the two defeated players, they will compete separately, and the final decision will determine the third place in the three-city competition.
Among the top four players in this round of the competition, Tianyu City occupies two seats, and the players from Flame City and Blackwater City each occupy one seat. Just when everyone was speculating about the list of semi-finals, Nongshan, who seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, did not hesitate to announce Brahma County's arrangements for the semi-finals.
[In the first game of the semi-finals, Tianyu City player Xuan Yue vs. Tianyu City player Han Yixin! ] 】
[In the second game of the semi-finals, Blackwater City player Shang Yang vs. Flame City player Lieyan! ] 】
[What? actually arranged the two players who advanced to the semi-finals in Tianyu City together, is this making them kill each other? 】
[Damn, Brahma County is so arranged, how can Lao Tzu bet? ] 】
The complaints rang out, and countless martial artists sprayed Brahma County about the arrangement of the event, it stands to reason that there are only four contestants left, since there are two contestants in Tianyu City who have advanced, it means that the players in Tianyu City are strong.
Since the strength is strong, the two contestants of Tianyu City should not be arranged to face each other, in this way, if Xuan Yue is cold heart can successfully advance in the semi-finals, then it will naturally be the first and second places in this three-city competition.
Just when everyone thought that Brahma County would arrange it like this, but unexpectedly, the arrangement announced by Nongshan was beyond everyone's expectations, because according to Nongshan's arrangement, the first round of the event was played by Xuan Yue against Han Yixin, so no matter who among these two people advanced, the losing side lost the opportunity to compete for the second place, even if they could get lucky to win the final victory, it would only be the third place at best.
This arrangement really reduces the fairness of the competition, and relatively speaking, the spectacle of the competition should also be reduced a lot. At the same time, the affected nature is also the gambling nature of the onlookers to place bets.
Because anyone with a clear eye knows that in the match between Tianyu City Xuanyue and Han Yixin, there will definitely be someone who takes the initiative to admit defeat. As for who admits defeat, even gamblers who have always been good at betting do not dare to bet easily in this special period.
If you bet that Xuan Yue can win, but Han Yixin is the daughter of the dignified Tianyu City Lord after all, her status is extraordinary, and she is not absolutely sure, no one can think that the leader of Tianyu City will make such an arrangement, after all, Xuan Yue is only a disciple of the Xuan family in Tianyu City, and for the Xuan family, everyone knows that it is the declining family of Tianyu City.
But if everyone bets that Han Yixin can win, but Xuan Yue's strength is unfathomable, although he only participated in one competition, but the discerning people know very well that once Xuan Yue makes a full shot, his strength may be stronger than Han Yixin.
Onlookers can understand this, how can the leaders of the major families in Tianyu City not know, in case they blindly bet on Han Yixin, if Tianyu City launches Xuanyue to participate in the finals, then what should it be, it can't be in vain with gold coins and spirit stones, so the meat buns and dogs have no return, right?
[Brahma County is really too deceitful, Elder Han, I think they are deliberately targeting our Tianyu City, how should we deal with it next? 】
In the face of the competition arrangement announced by Nongshan, Bai Zhan, who had always been slightly angry, was indignant, he was the first to stand up and speak out, and everyone began to fall silent when he asked this.
After a long time, I heard Han Zhen look left and right in great embarrassment, and asked, "Elder Yin, Elder Shangguan, what do you two think of this matter? 】
Seeing that Elder Han Zhen asked himself, Yin Tianzhu narrowed his eyes, and looked at Xuan Yue not far away, and said with a strange yin and yang aura: [Since Yixin is the daughter of our Tianyu City City Lord, she is naturally the best candidate to advance to the finals first, even if she loses, she can protect the second place in the Three Cities Martial Arts Competition, if this is the case, it will not be regarded as insulting the prestige of our Tianyu City City Lord's Mansion Han Family. As for Xuan Yue, hmph, their Xuan family has been absent from several three-city martial arts tournaments, the old man doesn't know what you think of this kid's strength, to be honest, I don't have much confidence that he can win the first place competition! 】
The implication is that the meaning of the cloudy sky bamboo is to let Xuanyue abstain, and Han Yixin will be directly promoted.
Regarding Yin Tianzhu's opinion, Shangguan Yu was still immersed in the painful mood of Shangguan Sheng's cultivation being abolished, she didn't have any reaction, she just said coldly, you just look at the decision, the Shangguan family has no opinion, and then I just want to do my best to treat Sheng'er's injury, and other things, don't ask me.
After listening to Shangguan Yu's response, Elder Han Zhen's face suddenly froze, he was originally angry, and he was about to scold a few words, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Sheng let out a few shouts in pain.
Perhaps understanding Shangguan Yu's mood, Han Zhen swallowed back what he wanted to say, and then comforted him with an embarrassed wry smile, and then finally looked at Bai Zhan, who was the first to speak.
Bai Zhan immediately understood, he first looked at Han Yixin on his side, and then at Xuanyue not far away, and after a little contemplation, he made a decision in his heart.
He said firmly towards Han Zhen: [If Elder Han Zhen is your vote, then for the recommendation of the promoted personnel, our Zhang family recommends Xuan Yue of the Xuan family. 】
Bai Zhan spoke quickly and expressed his support for the candidate very bluntly.
Han Zhen obviously didn't expect Bai Zhan to recommend Xuanyue, after all, although Xuanyue's strength is strong, it is still unknown whether he can win the first place in the three-city martial arts competition.
If he rashly recommended Xuan Yue, if he couldn't advance to the first place, then Han Yixin would lose a chance to compete for the first place in vain.
After all, if he is not completely sure, Han Zhen also agrees with Yin Tianzhu's analysis, after all, Han Yixin is the daughter of the patriarch of the Han family of their city lord's mansion, and no matter what, he must not let his ranking in this final competition be too backward.
On the one hand, it will damage the prestige of the Han family in the City Lord's Mansion of Tianyu City, and on the other hand, it will make outsiders see the jokes and bully them There is no one in the younger generation of Tianyu City, and there is no one in the Han family.
Although he thought so in his heart, Han Zhen couldn't understand why Bai Zhan, who had never intersected with the Xuan family, insisted on recommending Xuan Yue this time.
[Tell me why you recommend it?] White Exhibition. Hanzhen asked.
[There are three reasons, the first reason, in the second round of the game, Xuan Yue forced Wang Jun of Blackwater City into a desperate situation with his strong strength, and finally forced Wang Jun to die together. Wang Jun's death can be regarded as revenge for Blackwater City's cruelty to Lu Er, and Xuanyue is kind to our Zhang family, so I recommend him. 】
[The second reason is that Xuan Yue once won the first place in the Xianyin Conference of Tianyu City, and this result should be unexpected by all of our five families. At that time, we didn't believe Xuan Yue, after all, he was a well-known disciple of Tianyu City, and even more so because Princess Bixin of the Imperial City of the Earth Realm almost died in the Demon Beast Forest, how could he have such strength? However, after the cultivation of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord praised his cultivation talent, and even bluntly said that Xuan Yue's future in cultivation is limitless, so I recommend him. 】
As for the last reason, Bai Zhan first deliberately bowed his head towards Shangguan Sheng, and then continued: [Once we advance to the semi-finals, it will undoubtedly be a decisive battle between the best young disciples in the three cities of Tianyu City, Blackwater City and Flame City, at this moment, we can dominate whether Xuan Yue can advance, or Han Yixin can advance, but if we don't recommend the strongest person, once we enter the decisive battle, the consequences can be imagined. 】
Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhan boldly suggested: [Although Miss Han's strength is not weak, she is not as good as Xuanyue after all, because Xuanyue is the only player in our Tianyu City who has broken through to the early stage of the Ten Thousand Souls Realm, and the strength of Shang Yang and Lie Yan has broken through to the Ten Thousand Souls Realm, once Miss Han enters the finals, Bai Zhan is worried that Miss Han will repeat the mistakes of Shangguan Gongzi and our family Lu'er. At present, only Xuanyue can fight two people with this strength, even if he loses, it will not be difficult to protect himself, so I recommend Xuanyue. 】
[Okay, the old man knows, Elder Bai, I'm sorry for you to call Xuan Yue and Yixin over, I want to ask the opinions of the two of them. Han Zhen was still a little hesitant, obviously still not making up his mind, and couldn't decide on the final candidate.
