Wan Cheng made his appearance!
Unlike those guys who entered the top 64 with Su Hao's assistance, Wan Cheng was actually a character listed in the genius list. He was even a lot higher in the rankings than Su Hao.
For him to be in such a position, he was worthy of his name!
However...
Can he go further?
There was a glimmer of expectation in everyone's eyes.
"Can he win?"
Wan Ru was a little nervous. Apart from Su Hao, Wan Cheng was the one he was most optimistic about. If Wan Cheng lost, humans could be considered to have lost completely this time.
"One slash." Su Hao smiled lightly.
"What?" Wang Ru was taken aback.
"The opposing beast is a slow-placed fighter, the one who fights in a slow and steady style. Yet, Wan Cheng's talent happened to be..."
"Begin!"
In the virtual scene was a wilderness plain.
The opposing beast stood as stable as Mount Tai. The rich, level two world esper's aura escaped, and it was actually stronger than Wan Cheng. As for Wan Cheng, he just summoned his fourth grade boundary spirit in his hand.
Buzz~
A light blue wave swept across Wan Cheng's body. Raising his sword, Wan Cheng didn't take a single step away from his current position.
Buzz~
Yet another wave of fluctuation.
Wan Cheng's entire body was like a turbulent wave as the waves condensed on Wan Cheng's sword. The light emitted from that powerful fourth grade boundary spirit became brighter and brighter.
"What's he doing?"
"Not sure."
"Could it be a terrifying move?"
"I think he's most likely looking for the flaws of the opposing beast..."
Everyone whispered in their discussion.
However, the opposing beast didn't move, and neither did Wan Cheng. Those two fell into a brief staring confrontation. As the waves condensed, Wan Cheng's entire body aura grew stronger. When everyone couldn't stand watching such a scene any longer, Wan Cheng's figure suddenly rushed out and cut the beast down with just one blow!
Boom!
Space was split into two!
Endless wave force escaped!
The beast on the opposing side just stared with huge eyes. Watching Wan Cheng's sword break apart his rock-solid defenses, a trace of blue line was left behind on its body.
Poof~
Its body collapsed.
The beast dissipated.
Everyone watched this scene in a daze.
This is...
A victory?
"We won!"
Every human shouted!
They finally won!
Those watching the rank 64-32 matches had been frustrated, but after losing several matches in a row, Wan Cheng was able to defeat his opponent in a single slash! At this time, the defeated beast looked at the playback on the virtual screen and was still clueless about how he lost!
Wan Cheng was accumulating energy!
It had been a conservative approach, but Wan Cheng managed to find an opportunity instead.
"If I knew about it..."
The beast said regretfully. It raged while looking at Wan Cheng's handsome figure, but because the beasts finally understood that to deal with Wan Cheng, a quick battle was needed from its failure. He mustn't be given any chance to accumulate energy!
However, no matter what...
Wan Cheng's victory was considered a magnificent and beautiful entry into the top 32.
Everyone in the Federation cheered.
Wan Cheng!
This legendary figure of Zhanzheng College really didn't embarrass mankind!
Numerous cheers could be heard from the human side.
The applause was endless.
After losing so many times in a row, they literally became speechless spectators, and it wasn't until Wan Cheng's victory that the scene became bustling again.
Plus, Wan Cheng's victory was very crude and simple.
One slash to kill!
How domineering was that?
It literally ignited everyone's blood in an instant.
Beasts were also in an uproar.
"The human won?"
"It's just a trick. If I am to use my full strength, how could he win?"
"Yes, that waste."
"Hmmpphh, let them be arrogant for a while. After all, there might only be one human in the top 32..."
"True, true."
"Poor human beings."
Wan Cheng's victory had triggered a lot of discussions. Some humans quarreled with the beasts unwilling to be humiliated. The virtual audience stage suddenly became lively with all sorts of curses ringing...
Fortunately, this was just a virtual world.
However, no matter what, the beasts were extremely confident!
From their point of view, it was just a coincidence that the human met a defensive type beast.
If it was any other beast, they could take down Wan Cheng!
This was the reason why the humans were given an opportunity. The beasts wouldn't repeat the same mistake again, and the humans will never have the second representative in the top 32.
"Damn you, dare to gamble with me or not?"
A human was immediately triggered.
"Bet! What's there to be afraid of?!"
That beast also had both eyes widened.
"With big eyes, you think you are unbeatable?"
The humans glanced at it contemptuously, "Can you come out with the money then?"
"Humph."
That beast released 10, 000 virtual coins elegantly, "This is after all more valuable than your Star dollars. We beasts can exchange resources for virtual coins too."
"Ten thousand then!"
That young man wasn't lacking any money either and pressed 10, 000 virtual coins, "We bet on whether or not there will be a second human representative in the top 32. If I lose, these 10, 000 virtual coins are yours!"
"Alright."
Those two reached a deal under the system.
The surrounding people looked at each other....
Those companions of the young man tried to stop him. Why bet with the beast? That's 10, 000 virtual coins, which is equivalent to 1 million star dollars! Naturally, it's extremely precious! It wasn't that they couldn't see the advantage held by the beasts. To just say it out is fine, but why did you go ahead and bet?
"You're crazy."
His companions pulled him, "That's every bit of your money."
"What's there to be afraid of?" That young man sneered, "It's not that we will definitely lose."
"Huh?"
His companions were taken aback for a moment, and their eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be the next one is Su Hao?"
If it was Su Hao making his appearance, they might still have the hope of winning.
"No."
That young man shook his head. As if thinking of something, his face showed an absurd but funny look.
"Hey."
His companions were immediately disappointed, "Later, I will lend you some money for living expenses then."
The game resumed.
With Wan Cheng's victory, everyone could be considered as regaining a bit of their passion. The next two matches were between the beasts themselves. It wasn't until the third match that it was the human's turn and this time...
Li Xin!
Then everyone looked at the opponent.
They forfeited.
"Oh, sorry, in the previous match, it seemed that the beast used a forbidden technique. Thus, it affected reality. I'm afraid it couldn't participate anymore in this match."
The officials released an explanation, and everyone looked at Li Xin and each other in dismay.
How many times was it again?
Damn!
From the first time Li Xin participated in the match, the opponents he encountered either forfeited, were the weakest ones, or one with defensive talents...
Li Xin's journey in the battle was simply too easy that it couldn't be any easier!
The second human of the top 32 appeared, and both beasts and humans were speechless. Each time they saw Li Xin, they would know that sometimes, this world is unfair...
That luck of his was too shameless.
Two victories.
Right now, the beast who bet with the young man was dumbfounded.
A victory?
The human won like that?
"This isn't fair!" That beast yelled angrily. Then, it watched helplessly as all its funds were allocated to that young man.
Ten thousand virtual coins were gone just like that.
Those were precious money, which could be converted in reality. What made it even more embarrassed was that the human didn't fight at all, which caused it to lose in such a strange manner!
Boom!
Boom!
The beast smashed its seat angrily with a punch.
In the audience seat, there was no actual power simulated. Otherwise, the entire audience seats would have been destroyed by this beast.
Opposite of him, a certain young man looked at the 10, 000 virtual coins he just received and showed it off to his companions, "Look, to achieve something, one must pay the price."
His companions: "..."
Damn it.
Just like that, this was possible?
Roar~
A certain beast roared angrily.
"What, are you not convinced?" That young man contemptuously said, "See that, two consecutive victories!"
"Dare to bet again?" The beast slammed on the table, "This time, bet 20, 000 coins!"
"Come then, who's afraid of who?" That young man was furious.
"Damn."
His companions hurriedly stopped him, "Brother, calm down."
"I can't tolerate this."
One man and one beast handed over 20, 000 coins each to the system immediately, waiting for the next match. Such a degree of decisiveness stunned the surrounding crowd. That was 20, 000 virtual coins.
How rich were these two?
They could actually bet without batting an eye!
After a match between beasts, another confrontation between human and beast started, and this time, the human representative was...
Chen Yiran.
After several years of painstaking training, Chen Yiran finally broke through into the world realm. However, no one knew what her true strength was. Previously, her opponent was a level one world esper and was defeated by a small advantage. At that time, everyone had a better understanding of her.
Level one world esper.
"It's over..."
Seeing Chen Yiran appearing on the stage, the young man's companions immediately looked ugly, especially when her opponent, a level two world esper, appeared...
In fact, in the top 64, excluding several humans, which one of the beasts wasn't a level two world esper?
"Brother, you are about to lose everything."
His friend smiled bitterly.
"Humph."
That young man also swallowed his saliva for a bit. Then, he looked at that arrogant appearance of the beast opposite him before straightening his back, "What's there to be afraid of?"
"How do you know that Chen Yiran will lose?"
"What a joke!" That beast glanced at him contemptuously, "The strength gap is so big. Can't you see it?"
In fact, there were indeed some who couldn't see it.
The spectators of this competition were all humans and beasts of the world!
Not everyone is a world esper and could distinguish the strength gap between the two sides. When Chen Yiran appeared on the stage, the audience cheered.
"Aren't you worried?"
Wang Ru looked at Su Hao, who was calm and composed.
One needs to know that if she loses, Chen Yiran would be instantly eliminated.
"She will win." Su Hao smiled.
"Has her strength improved?" Wang Ru's eyes lit up.
"Not sure." Su Hao smiled, "Although I am not sure what my aunt taught her, her aura had not yet subsided when she first came back from the northern region. At that time, even when I saw her, I could feel that trace of something..."
"That feeling..." Su Hao narrowed his eyes, "I guess we will know what's going on with her soon."
