Chapter 366: Chapter 121: FinalsQing Yuechu stepped onto the arena, and Deng Kong also leaped in, his explosive body hitting the ground, causing the arena to tremble slightly.
"Are you trying to intimidate me?" Qing Yuechu said proudly, "If so, you neednât bother, because you are no match for me."
"Deng Kong, I am no longer who I was before," Deng Kong said solemnly, "Today, I will wash away the humiliation I suffered last time."
"I didnât insult you; you just couldnât defeat me and looked for trouble unnecessarily."
From their conversation, it seemed that Deng Kong and Qing Yuechu had fought privately before, with Deng Kong suffering defeat. He then aspired to redeem himself on this top platform of the Eagle Alliance.
A year ago, news of Qing Yuechuâs promotion to Third Transition swept through the Eagle Alliance. Upon hearing this, Deng Kong sought her out to witness the youngest Third Transition powerhouse in the history of the Eagle Alliance, only to be told by Qing Yuechu to leave her alone as she hadnât yet reached Third Transition.
Deng Kong didnât believe it and insisted on a test of strength. Everyone knew the result; Deng Kong was brutally overwhelmed by Qing Yuechu, pinning him to the ground. However, Deng Kong confirmed that Qing Yuechu hadnât achieved Third Transition, giving him hope for revenge. Over the past year, Deng Kong had practiced relentlessly, and his strength had surged, giving him full confidence in this fight.
"This past year while youâve been progressing, I havenât been idle", Qing Yuechu said casually, "Moreover, your progress is far too less compared to mine. Iâve already left you far behind."
"I donât believe it!" Accompanied by a low shout, the furious roar of a dragon exploded, and Deng Kongâs explosive muscles grew once again, resembling a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus, full of menace.
"Your improvement is in level and the growth of your Magic Power. But I,..." As she spoke, a strong oppressive force gradually rose.
Deng Kong seemed to carry a huge mountain, sinking downward.
"You?! Your presence feels like that of a Third Transition master. Have you reached Third Transition?!" Deng Kongâs face changed drastically.
"Thatâs right. My enhancement is a leap in level, making me a true powerhouse!" Qing Yuechu, known as a female War God from Sacred Academy seemed delicate but was actually extremely strong-willed and combative, once overpowering many experts in the academy. Everyone feared her fiery temper, not daring to offend her lest they faced lifelong disability. Thus arose her reputation as a War God.
Third Transition Judgment Knight, a combat master among knights, relying on the power of Holy Light, capable of both offense and defense, Deng Kong not being a Third Transition, couldnât even break through her defenses, let alone discuss winning or losing.
"Now you should see the gap between us," Qing Yuechu stated coolly, then pressed her full oppressive force towards him, seeking to break Deng Kongâs will.
Deng Kong, carrying an invisible mountain on his back, face flushed red, thought, âThird Transition? I still want to fight!â
Deng Kong roared loudly: "Iâll tackle Third Transition head-on!"
"Seeking death!" Qing Yuechuâs expression turned cold. She drew a spear from her Space Ring, and the power of Holy Light transformed into a sky full of lightning, striking from above.
"Power of the Rock Dragon, embody me!" Deng Kong activated his skill, augmenting his body with the dragon force he had hunted, instantly covering his body with thick rocks to withstand the lightning damage.
But Qing Yuechu rushed forward, launching a Judgment Strike!
The heavy and fierce attack came.
Deng Kong swung his fists, gathering all the Magic Power in his body to meet the attack.
With a muffled grunt, Deng Kong repeatedly retreated, the rocks binding his body shattering bit by bit until he knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, coughing up blood profusely.
"As I said, you are no match for me." Qing Yuechu stood proudly, her spear pointed at Deng Kongâs forehead. A slight press would end his life.
"I!..." Deng Kong knew he would lose, but he hadnât expected to be so thoroughly defeated. His quality and quantity of Magic Power were crushed by his opponent, completely outmatched.
"Be gone!" Qing Yuechu flicked her spear, swiping it horizontally, and sent Deng Kong flying.
The referee promptly announced the result of the match.
This youngest powerhouse in the history of the alliance received cheers and commendations from the entire arena.
However, at this moment, the expression on Duke Chen Huiâs face was not pleasant.
Lei Shan timely asked by his side, "Hey, isnât she part of your family? Why? Are you uncomfortable?"
"Hmph!" Duke Chen Hui didnât even glance at Lei Shan. He indeed regretted it now. Initially, Qing Yuechu was meant to represent the Chen Hui family in this campaign of the Eagle Alliance, but Qing Yuechu had her own ideas. She frankly told Duke Chen Hui that she had never been taught anything by the family, questioning why she should represent the Chen Hui family in the battle. Thus, she changed to represent Sacred Academy at the last moment, participating in the competition under the identity of a student, meaning all her glory was unrelated to the Chen Hui family. The more glorious and powerful Qing Yuechu became, the more it was a slap in the face for the Chen Hui family and the uglier it looked.
Deng Kong gloomily exited the stage, and Qing Yuechuâs gaze locked onto Lu Hong, speaking, "Come on up. I hope you wonât lose as quickly as Deng Kong did."
Lu Hong smiled slightly and stepped onto the ring; honestly, he was nervous deep down. Because Qing Yuechu was no ordinary Third Transition powerhouse, having a prodigy advance to the Third Transition was significantly differentâthe so-called principle of accumulating slowly to make a rapid progress meant that the more substantial the accumulation, the more exponential the growth in strength after a breakthrough.
Speaking of Yin Feng, who was also a Judgment Knight, Lu Hong had a long-standing battle with him in Mountain Mao Town within the Yuan Hua plane. Yin Feng was far inferior to Qing Yuechu, even though Qing Yuechu had only just advanced to the Third Transition, and this disparity was growing.
Qing Yuechuâs imposing aura did not dissipate, and the instant Lu Hong stepped onto the ring, a massive weight bore down on him.
Lu Hong had seen this tactic too many times; he wasnât Deng Kong. Having undergone Body Refining, Lu Hongâs endurance was fearsomely strong, and the mere pressure did not cause his expression to change in the slightest.
Qing Yuechu also revealed a hint of a smile, "Perhaps after your Third Transition, you could be a match for me."
"I can be now as well." Lu Hong took a step forward, and the vitality, normally concealed by the Holy King, transformed into a white ocean, manifesting layers of strange phenomena that completely dispersed the opponentâs pressure.
"Is that so?"
No need for an adjudicatorâs announcement, Qing Yuechu leaped forward, launching a barrage of spear shadows from the sky, rushing towards Lu Hong in attack.
As a Third Transition powerhouse and in their final battle, Lu Hong did not intend to hide anything either. He directly summoned the Blood Holy Sword, gripping it in both hands as he clashed with Qing Yuechu.
Although Lu Hongâs vitality was slightly inferior, its volume was twice that of Qing Yuechuâs, thus bridging the gap in their clash and making them equally matched, merging into a tumult of battle.
"How dare he bring out his life-bound weapon?" Duke Xin Lei coldly snorted, "He truly doesnât take us seriously!"
"I feel the same. Shall we take him down now?" Lei Shan agreed.
"Thatâs inappropriate," Duke Nuoshan hurriedly advised, "There are still citizens watching the battle, and more than half of the nobility of the alliance are here. If we arrest someone now, how should we explain it? Are we admitting a lack of supervision, or is this baron of the Empire just too cunning?"
"Are we to let him become the champion of our alliance? That would be our allianceâs shame!" Xin Lei stood up, with Zun Longâs disappearance and lack of any response from Sina since Lu Hong arrived, Duke Xin Leiâs understanding of Lu Hongâs capabilities became increasingly uncertain. Regardless, either losing face or not, she couldnât allow him to continue standing on the ring.
"Xin Lei!" Nuoshan also stood up, blocking her, "I hope you prioritize the greater good of the alliance."
"The greater good? Are you joking with me?" Saying this, Xin Lei sharply called out, "Someone!"
"Present!"
As soon as her words fell, dozens of late Third Transition powerhouses appeared on both sides, kneeling and awaiting orders.
"If you insist on doing this, donât blame me for being rude," Nuoshan shouted angrily in response, and the powerhouses he had brought also appeared.
"Fight it out, letâs see who wins and Iâll listen to them!" Lei Shan loved the chaos.
Nuoshan and Xin Lei were evenly matched, and with Lei Shan abstaining, it was Chen Huiâs decision that would dominate this standoff.
Chen Huiâs brows tightened and then he called out sharply, "Enough, sit down!"
Xin Lei glared at Chen Hui, "Are you also trying to stop me?"
"Duke Xin Lei, Duke Nuoshan is right, no matter what, we canât embarrass our alliance. Besides, with Qing Yuechuâs recent advance to the Third Transition, his chances of winning are very high. Why not wait until the match ends to discuss this?"
"Is there still anything to discuss after the match ends?" Though still dissatisfied, Xin Lei, facing two against one, had no choice but to take her seat again.
"Oh! What a pity." Lei Shan shook his head, turning his attention back to the battle on the ring.
As for Nuoshan, he interestingly studied Duke Chen Hui, puzzled why Chen Hui would aid him. Nuoshan racked his brains to find an excuse to stop Xin Lei, even though it was a weak one that could easily be overturned. If Chen Hui was leaning towards him, was it because he also opposed deploying troops to Sacred Empire?
In fact, it was because of Jenaxi.
Jenaxi, having aligned Holy Court with Duke Chen Hui, had once made a request that if Lu Hong was positioned to win the championship, he should not be stoppedâthis was one of Jenaxiâs conditions in showing fealty.
This condition arose because of a letter left by Nong Hua. Jenaxi was not a villain; he was absolutely loyal to Holy Court, only wishing to reform it in his own way, different from Nong Huaâs ideologies. However, like Nong Hua, Jenaxi also opposed the military action against Sacred Empire.
Initially skeptical of Lu Hong and deeming him unworthy of investment, Jenaxi changed his view after Lu Hong had emerged as one of the top four, aligning with Nong Huaâs wishes.
