Chapter 555: Not rational enough
After Jiang Chao"s challenge, the next battle continued.
Fang ping had been planning something.
When it was time for the middle-stage rank-6 challenge, Fang ping suddenly said,"Zisu, you still have three chances to challenge, right?"
Su Zisu nodded.
"Are you prepared to challenge me in this round?"
"No..."
"I was thinking that I"d be shortlisted when there were enough people at the end ..." Su Zisu said, a little embarra.s.sed.
She was prepared to lie down and win, so she said it a little embarra.s.sedly.
Fang ping did not know whether to laugh or cry. The probability was not high. Su Zisu would have to win at least one round before she had a chance.
The losses in the last few rounds were not as great as the first few rounds.
"Challenge w.a.n.g Jinyang, then admit defeat!" Fang ping said.
w.a.n.g Jinyang glanced at Fang ping. Fang ping said, "You"ve already been challenged once. Let Zisu challenge you again. Later, when you challenge Ironhead, Ironhead admits defeat. Then, Ironhead challenges old w.a.n.g, and Ironhead admits defeat again ... Ironhead, let"s ensure that old w.a.n.g advances this round. You"ve used up all of old w.a.n.g"s chances to be challenged ..."
Li Hansong nodded his head and did not say anything else.
"Why don"t I do it ..." Yao Chengjun said from the side.
"You have to keep winning, or else you won"t be able to recover your spiritual power so quickly. If there"s a chance in the next round, I"ll make sure you advance. You"ll also challenge iron head later, and iron head will admit defeat ... We"ll waste all our chances of being challenged first.
Iron head, on your side ... You have two chances to challenge, you must win one!"
"Don"t worry, we"ll definitely win!"Li Hansong said with a serious expression.
Among the three of them, li Hansong"s defense was the strongest, and he recovered quickly. If he were to fight, his chances of winning were actually the highest.
Fang ping had been calculating until now. He realized that all the families were trying to deplete the chances of those middle and upper-stage martial artists being challenged.
At this point, how could he not see it?
Everyone gave those powerhouses a chance to be challenged. In the end, if they did not have any record of victory and Li Hansong and the others were targeted, they might only be able to challenge those powerhouses who had attained mentality-vitality fusion and Grandmaster level.
As for su Zisu...Among the few middle-stage rank-6 martial artists, there were still some who had not been eliminated. This was obviously to let them solve the problem themselves.
One less chance to challenge was not a big deal.
Very soon, it was time for the middle-stage rank-6 challenge. Li Hansong and the rest followed Fang Ping"s instructions and exhausted each other"s chances.
Old w.a.n.g"s three challenge opportunities were used up, and he entered the game with a win. As long as he did not take the initiative to challenge others, no one had the chance to challenge him.
On li Hansong"s side, he had also used up his energy twice.
……
A moment later, the fourth round began.
There were not many battles in this round. All sides seemed to be planning something. They were all trying to exhaust some people"s opportunities to ensure that some people would advance.
When they arrived at the big-bearded man from the ancient Buddha sacred land, he had not been challenged, nor had he challenged anyone else.
At this time, his gaze was directed at li Hansong, and he said slowly,"I challenge li Hansong!"
Fang Ping"s expression did not look too good when he heard this.
Li Hansong had been challenged twice and challenged someone else twice. Now that he was challenged again, he could only win the last battle.
Su Haoran glanced at Fang ping. Fang ping whispered,"I admit defeat."
Su Haoran didn"t say much and said,"I admit defeat!"
When they arrived at the andis mountains, the black-robed woman looked at Yao Chengjun. However, after a while, her eyes fell on Du Hong.
Du Hong only had one chance to challenge him.
"Challenge Du Hong!" The black-robed woman said after a long while.
Fang Ping"s eyes were cold and sharp. He glanced at her and chuckled."It seems that a weakling like me is not worthy of your attention. A rank-7 powerhouse is indeed powerful!"
"The contest for the spots will be based on our own methods." The woman replied indifferently.
Du Hong didn"t open his mouth, but su Haoran directly said,""I admit defeat!"
Du Hong couldn"t fight. If he was killed or seriously injured, Hua would suffer a great loss.
However, in this case, Du Hong would have to challenge someone else in the next round no matter what and win. Otherwise, he would be directly eliminated when there were enough people in the next round.
In the next round, not only Du Hong, but also li Hansong had to win.
This round, when it was su Zisu"s turn, she didn"t avoid the battle. She could tell that avoiding the battle was useless as there were still too many people.
If she didn"t win one round, she might be eliminated next.
Fortunately, everyone had a tacit understanding and gave these middle-stage martial artists a chance.
Su Zisu"s opponent was also a middle-stage rank-6 martial artist.
Su Haoran waited for his granddaughter to go on stage and suddenly said,"I really hope she loses ..."
Fang ping and the others understood what he meant.
If the middle-stage rank-6 su Zisu won, probably no one would challenge her and she would be qualified.
However, su Haoran didn"t want his granddaughter to be nominated.
It was too dangerous to go to the restricted area with his strength.
However, at this stage, even if she was pampered, she still had her own opinions. If su Zisu insisted on joining the compet.i.tion, he couldn"t stop her. Now, he could only hope that his granddaughter would be eliminated.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not grant his wish.
Some people couldn"t even enter even if they wanted to, and some people wanted to lose, but it was difficult to lose.
Su Zisu had actually won against that middle-stage rank-6 and had a victory.
Seeing this, Fang ping suddenly laughed."Great Grandmaster su, why don"t you let iron head challenge Zisu and help you eliminate her?"
Su Haoran glanced at him and said indifferently, "It"s fine if she loses, but if she wins ... Then she can"t be given to you. "
If li Hansong lost, he had no objections to li Hansong challenging su Zisu again.
However, if they won, li Hansong would eliminate su Zisu. That would be unacceptable.
Fang ping smiled and no longer said anything. It seemed that su Haoran"s mood was also complicated. On the one hand, he didn"t want his granddaughter to go, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to give up the quota. Perhaps he also hoped that his granddaughter could become a Grandmaster.
After all, the situation was becoming more and more unstable. He could not miss the opportunity to become a Grandmaster quickly.
Three years later, he might not have such an opportunity again.
……
The fourth round ended, and the sky was already completely dark.
At this time, li deyong announced,"there are 26 martial artists who still have a winning record. There are 12 martial artists who have no winning record and still have the opportunity to challenge. There are 38 people in total. In this round, everyone should consider whether they wanted to challenge him or not.
"This is because many people don"t have many chances left to be challenged. If you don"t challenge them in this round, your chances will be used up. Then, even if you have a chance to challenge them, no one will give you a chance to challenge, and you won"t be able to get a spot."
Finished talking, li deyong said again: "the three chances of being challenged have been used up. The martial artists who still have a winning record come to my side first."
As soon as he said this, many people got up and walked towards li deyong.
Fang ping and w.a.n.g Jinyang were also in this category.
Fang ping glanced at li Hansong and Yao Chengjun, nodded slightly, and walked over.
Soon, li deyong looked around and said,""There are 17 people in total. The 17 of you, whether or not you have the chance to challenge, as long as you don"t challenge again, the spots are almost confirmed."
"Of the remaining 21, eight of you have to be eliminated before the spots are officially confirmed."
At this time, Jiang Chao suddenly walked over. Li deyong glanced at him, and Jiang Chao shrugged his shoulders. Although he didn"t waste all the chances to be challenged, there shouldn"t be anyone who would challenge him anymore, so he should be able to get a spot.
Li deyong was a little speechless. He knew it, but why did he have to go this way?
Did I ask you to come over?
Among the 21 people, it wasn"t just Jiang Chao. In fact, there were three or four others who were already guaranteed spots and wouldn"t be challenged.
The ones who were really going to be eliminated were the others.
Li deyong didn"t care about him anymore. He looked at the crowd and said,""Let"s continue with the fifth round!"
This round was still led by Du Hong, and it was also his last chance.
Du Hong looked around. There were seven people from Hua nation who were left to be challenged. Including himself, there were eight Hua nation martial artists left.
There were a total of 12 people from the other families, and Jiang Chao had already run over.
Out of the 12,5 of them had achieved mentality-vitality fusion, and two of them were grandmasters.
Of the remaining five, one was middle-stage, two were upper-stage, and two were peak-stage.
These five people were almost the kind of people who could be recommended by each family and were almost impossible to challenge.
Even if there was ... He would have to keep it for others, such as li Hansong and Yao Chengjun.
Li Hansong had to fight these two. Yao Chengjun might be targeted by the Grandmaster, and if he was targeted, he would lose and need someone to be his opponent.
As the leader, Du Hong could not just think about himself. He had to consider getting more spots.
Thinking of this, Du Hong looked around and said,""I challenge bu tuo ye!"
On the side of the ancient Buddha sacred land, bu tuo ye glanced at Du Hong and didn"t say anything. He quickly stood up.
……
This time, the battle between the two who had attained mentality-vitality fusion was extremely intense.
Bu tuo ye wanted to defeat Du Hong and completely eliminate him.
Du Hong also had to defeat bu tuo ye in order to obtain a spot.
The two of them were actually equal in strength. However, in the previous battle with Fang ping, bu tuo ye"s mentality had been defeated by Fang ping, and his strength had declined a little.
The two of them fought fiercely for more than ten minutes. Du Hong used his essence-blood fusion, gathered the power of heaven and earth, and defeated his opponent with a single spear strike.
At this time, Fang ping saw that even li deyong heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious that he was a little nervous about Du Hong"s battle.
If they lost, Du Hong would not be able to make it into the compet.i.tion, and this trip to the Forbidden Zone would be dangerous.
There was no other reason other than that Fang ping was not reliable.
Lee deyong didn"t dare to really let him bring the team into the restricted area. This kid was a loner, but he was still okay as an adventurer.
"Lead the team ..." Li deyong was worried that when he returned, other than a few people from the martial arts universities, the others would be gone.
If that was the case, the people in Star Town City would tear Fang ping apart.
The leader was actually also a nanny.
Du Hong could be a nanny, but if Fang ping was a nanny, he would have to bear the responsibility if everyone died.
It did not matter if a few people died, but if all the people in Star Town City died, no matter how reasonable Fang ping was, he would not be able to explain himself.
Du Hong had won. He had used up all his chances and entered the ranks of Fang Ping"s team.
In the second challenge, rosasi actually won. However, this time, he still chose to challenge Wei Hao of the Wei family in star suppression city. Wei Hao had challenged twice before and won the second time.
However, how could an upper-stage rank-6 be rosasi"s match? Wei Hao simply admitted defeat.
By the time bu tuo ye arrived, he had also challenged the people of Hua nation.
There was no other reason other than the fact that most of them were Chinese, so he had to challenge a few more.
Jiang Xiyan of the Jiang family had been challenged, so it was only natural that she had lost.
As a result, more and more Chinese martial artists had no victories.
Li deyong didn"t care and said softly,""If the two of them are eliminated, there will be 13 left. If li Hansong loses, then there will be 12 left."
12 was more than enough.
Fang ping did not say a word and continued to watch.
Both rosasi and Budur ye did not have the chance to challenge anyone, but these people still had the chance to be challenged.
Fang ping sized up the two of them and said slowly,"These people have used up all their challenge opportunities and are treating me like I don"t exist! This time, at least one of them will be eliminated!"
"It"s not your turn!"Li deyong shook his head.
As expected, before it was Fang Ping"s turn, the rank-7 big-bearded man from the ancient Buddha sacred land said,""I admit defeat for challenging bu tuo ye!"
Fang ping frowned immediately when he heard this.
Bu tuo ye had advanced!
His six chances had all been used up.
As for keeping this rank-7, it was almost a sure win. One chance to challenge was enough.
Not only the ancient Buddha Holy Land, but the seventh-level woman from the Andris mountain had also admitted defeat to their mentality-vitality Fusion Challenge, allowing her to be directly qualified.
Gradually, the number of people on Fang Ping"s side increased.
Soon, it was li Hansong"s turn again.
This time, li Hansong had challenged a peak rank-6 from G.o.ds "paradise. This was their last chance.
Li Hansong had fought previously, and everyone knew how strong he was.
Both sides fought until their flesh and blood crumbled. Li Hansong won with great difficulty. Although he did not manage to kill the other party, at least he had won. He had finally pa.s.sed this stage and guaranteed his advancement.
When he waited for Yao Chengjun, Yao Chengjun did not challenge him and continued to observe.
The number of people on Fang Ping"s side had also reached 24.
The remaining people who still had a chance were getting fewer and fewer.
The sixth round began, and all parties were ensuring that some people would make it.
Soon, it was the big-bearded man"s turn. This time, the other party once again set his eyes on the Chinese side. His last chance to challenge was used on Yao Chengjun.
Yao Chengjun did not seem to be ready to admit defeat ... Fang ping walked over and said,"I admit defeat!"
At this moment, Fang ping was staring at the big-bearded man!
He had used up his three chances to challenge, and he had not fought once, but he had obtained a victory.
No one was willing to fight with a Grandmaster!
However, he still had a chance to be challenged!
Fang ping did not say much. He looked around, glanced at the ten thousand towers world, and said in a low voice,"When you challenge that upper-stage rank-6 martial artist later ..."
"He ..." Yao Chengjun furrowed his brows slightly.
"I"m fine! So what if he was the descendant of a Paragon? It was more important to get a spot! Didn"t Jiang Xiyan and Wei Hao also get eliminated?"
Yao Chengjun nodded upon hearing this. Soon, it was his turn to challenge.
As for Yao Chengjun, he followed Fang Ping"s instructions and challenged the upper-stage rank-6 martial artist.
Once the spiritual energy materialized, the other party had almost no power to resist.
However, this time, Yao Chengjun did not make a killing move. The other party"s rank-9 would not sit by and watch. He did not admit defeat because he wanted to see if he had a chance of winning.
At this moment, Yao Chengjun still had one more chance to be challenged.
In the seventh round, the remaining people were almost all only left with the chance to be challenged. Many people did not have the right to challenge.
When it was the black-robed woman"s turn, she only had one challenge left. Fang ping saw that she was looking at Yao Chengjun with an extremely cold gaze. He said in a low voice,"If you dare to challenge him again, I"ll definitely kill you!"
The black-robed woman"s voice was extremely cold as she said,""Are you threatening me?"
"That"s right, it"s a threat!"
Fang ping suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth,"if you don"t challenge Yao Chengjun this time, I"ll challenge that big-bearded man later and kill him!" If you challenge me, I"ll kill you!"
"You want to challenge tuo man?" the black-robed woman asked playfully.
"Not bad!"
"Interesting ..."
The black-robed woman laughed and said,""Alright, I won"t challenge him anymore."
If the Grandmaster did not make a move and Yao Chengjun"s mentality was corporeal, the others would not be his match. Even if they were to achieve mentality-vitality fusion, they would not be able to win.
Moreover, the only ones left with the mentality-vitality fusion were the one from totem city and Carmon from the ten thousand towers world.
These two people had lost the right to challenge, and only had the right to be challenged.
In other words, as long as the black-robed woman did not challenge Yao Chengjun, Yao Chengjun would definitely get the spot.
It was unknown whether she wanted to watch a show or she did not intend to challenge Yao Chengjun in the first place, but the black-robed woman finally chose the one in the mentality-vitality fusion realm from totem city.
This time, the other party"s expression turned ugly.
This meant that he would definitely lose and he would not have the chance to challenge. He only had one chance to be challenged. He could only advance if the people of the totem city admitted defeat.
If they admitted defeat, under the current situation, it meant that totem city must eliminate one person because there was almost no chance.
Even though he wished he could have a fight with this woman, the tattooed man still chose to admit defeat in the end.
When it was the totem city"s turn again, an upper-stage rank-6 martial artist who had already confirmed his advancement chose to challenge him. He admitted defeat and allowed this mentality-vitality fusion to advance.
At this moment, there was no one left in the totem city. Only the tattooed man and a peak-level martial artist were qualified.
Two people from the totem city had qualified.
In the territory of the andis mountains, two people had been confirmed to be qualified. The black-robed woman still had a chance to be challenged, but it was still pending.
In the world of ten thousand towers, only three people were qualified.
In the world of G.o.ds, there were only five people who were qualified.
The ancient Buddha sacred land had the most number of people among the five Forces. There were only six people who were qualified.
On the Chinese side, there were a total of 12 people who were qualified.
Seeing this scene, li deyong frowned slightly and said,""There are a total of 31 people from all parties who are still qualified to be shortlisted. Now, it"s your turn, Fang ping. There aren"t many martial artists here who have the right to challenge. Fang ping, if you eliminate one more person, your spot will be confirmed!"
"After the right to challenge has been used up, there are still people who have the right to be challenged, tuo man, Lu si ka ..."
Fang ping did not say anything. He looked around and suddenly said,"The other five from the ancient Buddha sacred land have used up their challenge rights?"
Lee deyong calculated for a while and nodded slightly.""I"ve used them all. "
"In other words, this big-bearded monk is so confident that no one will challenge him and no one can win against him. Although he has used up his right to challenge, he can still advance, right?"
On the side of the ancient Buddha sacred land, the big-bearded monk, tuo man, slowly said,""General Fang, you still have one more chance to challenge, but are you sure you want to use it on tuo man?
If you lose, you"ll lose your qualification. "
Fang ping was currently the only one among the top powerhouses present in the compet.i.tion who retained the right to challenge once. This was referring to those above the strength of mentality-vitality fusion.
With his strength, as long as he eliminated one more, he would not need to fight anymore.
Tuo man wasn"t the only one who had the right to be challenged. There was also the seventh-rank Lu ska from the andis mountains, a peak sixth-rank from G.o.ds "paradise, and another peak sixth-rank from the ancient Buddha sacred land.
If Fang ping really wanted to eliminate someone, the best way would be to eliminate one of the two peak experts from the ancient Buddha sacred land and G.o.ds "paradise.
If he challenged these two people, he would almost certainly win.
The youth tournament would be over if he got the spot.
Of course, Fang ping could actually challenge the people of Hua nation. There were a few people from Hua nation who had the right to be challenged, but the probability of this was not high.
Li deyong glanced at Fang ping, signaling with his eyes.
"At this stage, we should prioritize stability. There"s no need to target these two rank-7 martial artists.
If he lost, Fang ping would be eliminated immediately, and the compet.i.tion would be over.
"Don"t take the risk. You"re only a rank-6, after all. Fang ping, your priority is to get the quota ..."Minister w.a.n.g said in a low voice.
"Isn"t the purpose of getting a slot to become a Grandmaster?"
Fang ping laughed."I"m very confident about becoming a Grandmaster. Actually, I don"t really care about the fight for the slots."
"You ..."
Minister w.a.n.g was a little annoyed by his words.""At this point, there"s no need to do this!"
Fang ping grinned,"this guy"s not giving me any face at all!"
I"ll admit it if I challenge iron head once, but challenging old Yao just now is clearly not giving me face.
The quota was a small matter. This face-smacking wasn"t just once, but twice in a row ... No, three times. Bu tuo ye had also eliminated Jiang Xiyan.
These two guys have slapped me in the face three times in a row. Minister, I"m a person who cares about my face, do you think I can tolerate it?"
"Then let"s challenge that peak rank-6 martial artist!"
"That won"t do ..." Fang ping laughed."Minister, what"s the benefit of a Grandmaster entering the restricted area through the youth tournament?"
Before Minister w.a.n.g opened his mouth, su Haoran whispered,""A rank-7 entering the restricted area through the youth tournament is completely different from entering by himself.
The youth tournament actually meant an admission letter.
"If you enter through the youth tournament, then if you"re a rank-7, the rank-8 and rank-9 in the restricted area will not attack you. This is the agreement of the paragons.
"However, if you"re a rank-7 and didn"t enter through the youth tournament, you"ll be the same as the outer area. If you"re unlucky and meet a rank-8 or rank-9, it"s okay to kill you. "Therefore, even if some of them become rank-7, they will still enter through the youth tournament. This way, it"s much safer and they won"t die accidentally."
"I see ... The quota is actually a form of protection for them ..."
Fang ping understood. Su Haoran glanced at him and said,"Fang ping, now that the situation is clear, I suggest that you challenge the peak rank-6 from the ancient Buddha sacred land. That way, you can get the quota for sure ..."
Fang ping chuckled and said,"to be honest, I wanted to play it safe too, but this guy didn"t give me any face!" "He"s just a fellow who has just entered rank-7, yet he"s so arrogant. Rank-7...It"s not like I haven"t killed him before!"
After saying that, Fang ping looked at tuo man and shouted,"Big beard, come out!"
"General Fang, you"re so unwise," tuo man put his hands together and said softly,"for a moment of anger ..."
Tuo man shook her head lightly. This snmau prodigy was too proud, a little too proud!
Such a person would only do things based on a whim, and it would be difficult for him to achieve great things.
This included the internal strife in China.
If he couldn"t get a spot this time ... This genius of China"s status would probably plummet, and his heart of martial arts might even collapse.
"Maybe it"s been too smooth, and I"m too proud to be arrogant."
Tuo man concluded in his heart that he could Challenge 4 people, two rank-7s and two peak rank-6S. He could clearly secure a spot and end the battle, but Fang ping chose to challenge him. It was really irrational.
