Heaven-Sent Dog Thief and Demoness!

"Are you... are you really sure?"

Qi Zixiao was somewhat bewildered. "I have a feeling that doing that would be even more... better than you just admitting defeat..."

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Lin Fan waved his hand. "With my acting skills, there won't be the slightest problem, you can rest assured!"

"..."

Qi Zixiao was stunned and didn't say anything more, but finally nodded gently. "Alright then."

Time passed, and the two hours were coming to an end.

This time, Zhou Zhengnan personally acted as the referee, walked into the Fighting Arena with a calm expression, and spoke softly, but his voice resounded throughout the entire Fighting Arena.

"Time's up! The final match of this Heaven's Chosen Assembly: Qi Zixiao of the Purple Mansion versus Lin Fan, the Rogue Cultivator. Both shall enter the arena!"

"Let's go!"

Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then walked into the Fighting Arena together.

This time, the entire Fighting Arena became their battleground.

After all, we've reached the finals, so the level of sophistication naturally needs to be higher. What's wrong with booking out the entire venue?

Meanwhile, Dan the Fatty, Divine Calculator, and the others were at a loss for words. Only Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining waved their fists to cheer Qi Zixiao on.

Now, we're all friends~

It's not good for them to cheer for anyone; they should just stay calm, keep quiet, and that's the best course of action.

Soon, Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao stood in the Fighting Arena, hundreds of meters apart, and began their 'eye-sparring' mode.

Both of them had sharp eyes, as if they wanted to stare the other to death.

At that moment, countless people in the stands began to curse.

"It would be best to kill this 'True Person HeHe '!"

"He's utterly despicable! Ugh... Even though I've taken the antidote, I still feel his stench. I'll never forgive this villain!"

"I wonder what the outcome of this fight will be..."

"A Demoness and a villain, neither of them are good people!"

Nine Dragons Holy Land area.

Several elders grumbled and cursed, their faces full of displeasure.

"Neither of them are good people. I want to see what they can do. They'll probably break our records!"

"This kid's tricks are probably no less than Qi Zixiao's. If the two of them get together, all sorts of underhanded schemes will surely come out one after another!"

"That's good. It will allow my Nine Dragons disciples to take a good look, so that they won't be caught off guard when they encounter that Demoness Qi Zixiao or other scoundrels in the future."

"That's true..."

Du Chuan, Ji Chutong, Zou Hu, Jie Se...

Countless geniuses remained silent, watching quietly.

They both lost in some rather... ways. Now, these two people, one lying down and the other sinking, are about to have their final battle, which is quite poignant.

Of course, Zou Hu is an exception.

This guy was secretly cheering for Qi Zixiao.

However, compared to him, Lin Fan was in a much worse situation.

Countless young cultivators cursed him in their hearts, and many Taiyi Disciple even went so far as to hurl insults at him by name...

It was under these circumstances that the duel began.

"Qi Zixiao!"

"Lin Fan!"

The two exchanged names, their expressions growing increasingly cold, their eyes brimming with murderous intent. If looks could kill, they would have already glared each other to death.

"I will win this battle!"

"I will never admit defeat!"

"Come on, let's give it our all."

"Today, it's either you or me who wins!"

Instead of starting a fight, they began to verbally abuse each other and stir up trouble, which made most viewers even more eager for the next episode.

after all...

The deeper the hatred, the harder the beating, right?

These two are it!

Most viewers would be very happy if someone got beaten up badly.

but...

Huo Yuan, however, always had a feeling that "something bad was going to happen".

"I have a strange feeling that... this competition is going to have some unexpected twists and turns, and the biggest twists and turns at that."

"No, that's not right. I should be more confident and remove the word 'seems'."

Something fishy is definitely going to happen!

Absolutely certain!

Huo Yuan put one hand to his forehead, speechless for a moment.

"Bring it on!"

In the Fighting Arena, Qi Zixiao let out a low shout.

"Come on, come on!"

Lin Fan snorted coldly and charged forward, "I'm going to kill you!"

Then...

This guy charged towards Qi Zixiao, shouting and yelling, his eyes icy cold, as if he wanted to kill her. However!!!

This guy's speed is slower than even Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

Although he raised his fist high, there wasn't a single 'special effect' on it; it was obvious that he hadn't even mobilized his True Essence.

You just casually raised your fist, didn't you?!

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Jiu Wu, Xiao Zhan: "..."

Elder Nine Dragons: "..."

Du Chuan, Ji Chutong, Zou Hu, Jie Se: "(⊙o⊙)..."

Millions of spectators in the stands. "(O_O)????"

Huo Yuan: "Uh... I knew it."

Zhou Zhengnan, acting as referee: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???? This?"

Finally, Lin Fan closed the distance of a few hundred meters. For a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage, it was only a 'step' away, but this guy took several seconds to run!

"Qi Zixiao, I'm going to kill you!"

The guy roared and threw a punch.

Then...

"Lin Fan, I'll fight you to the death!"

Qi Zixiao also shouted and threw a punch, but there were no special effects at all; he didn't even put in 0.000001% of his strength.

Then, Qi Zixiao's fist arrived first despite being delayed, but even so, it was only at a speed similar to that of an ordinary person, and it gently struck Lin Fan's face.

Most importantly...

At that damn speed, they actually stopped pushing at the very end!

One punch landed...

Lin Fan's face didn't even budge!

then...

Lin Fan let out a scream.

"Oops!"

Then this guy did a 360-degree spin on the spot, as if he had been hit and spun 360 degrees, before wobbling and falling to the ground.

"What an amazing Purple Mansion Saintess!"

"I lost!"

The guy yelled again, "Ouch!"

Then...

Pretend to be unconscious.

But at the same time, this guy secretly gave Qi Zixiao a thumbs up.

This scene was witnessed by everyone...

Huo Yuan was speechless.

The nine elders all stared wide-eyed.

Countless viewers were stunned...

Du Chuan and other contemporary prodigies almost bit off their own tongues.

Even Fan Jianqiang, Dan the Fatty, Jiu Wu and others never expected it to turn out like this, and they were all dumbfounded!

Everyone was rendered unresponsive at that moment.

Nobody could have predicted that the finals, which everyone was so eagerly anticipating, would end like this!

However, before they could fully digest it...

Qi Zixiao suddenly spoke up, "Referee, I won, right? Why haven't you announced it yet?"

Zhou Zhengnan's mouth twitched repeatedly, and there were so many black lines on his forehead that they were almost countless.

"Forehead..."

"Qi... Qi Zixiao wins."

"This Heaven's Chosen Assembly has come to an end."

The dignified Sendai bigwig gritted his teeth and uttered these two sentences, then stared intently at Lin Fan was lying on the ground pretending to be dead...

I'm totally devastated!!!

What the hell are you guys doing?!

Is it really that childish?

The Heaven's Chosen Assembly, jointly hosted by the Three Saints City and the Seven Great Holy Lands, offers the ultimate winner a reward such as the astonishing Three Lifetimes Method Technique!

Is it really that unacceptable to you?!

Even if you're friends and have a good relationship, and have already decided on the winner in private, wouldn't it be better if one of you forfeited?!

If you're going to fight, could you please be a little more serious?

What, are you just going to treat us like this? Do you think we're idiots?!

Zhou Zhengnan endured it again and again.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he spoke softly, "Everyone."

"When the Heaven's Chosen Assembly is underway, naturally no one can interfere or break the rules, but at this moment..."

His voice caused a slight change in the expressions of the elites in the audience.

"The competition has ended, but they are still in the Fighting Arena, not bound by the rule of the Three Saints City that they cannot make a move on their own."

"Therefore, whatever happens next, we, the Three Saints City... will not interfere."

Upon hearing this, a large number of young cultivators immediately realized what was happening. They shouted and rubbed their hands together, rushing out of their seats and charging towards Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao.

"Damn it, Dog Thief! Demoness!!!"

"I've put up with you for far too long!"

"You two beasts, this is utterly outrageous!"

"If I don't beat you two until you're crying for your parents today, I'm not worthy of cultivating immortality!"

"Give me your life!"

"Kill them!"

"Lin Fan Dog Thief, you scoundrel! It's one thing to have been getting byes the whole time, but after finally getting a few matches, you're acting so despicable!!!"

"Dog Thief Demoness, do you two think we're fools? Even if you're going to act, can't you at least make it look convincing?!"

"This is outrageous! We can't take it anymore! Let's beat them up!!!"

I'm so angry!!!

At this moment, almost all the young cultivators exploded; they had been holding back for far too long...

Recalling Lin Fan's byes all the way, while others were fighting to the death on the stage, this guy was watching the show with a smile from the sidelines, and even got the benefits while acting innocent!

He's finally managed to play a few matches... but either his opponent is the weakest, completely outmatched by him.

Either he fails to break through and ends up seriously injured.

Or they might resort to underhanded tactics, not only tricking Du Chuan, but also countless viewers...

Qi Zixiao wasn't much better off.

Although she didn't get a bye, as Saintess, all her opponents in the previous rounds had forfeited and conceded defeat.

That's fine. She has the ability, and as Saintess, no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

However, during his battle with Zou Hu, he managed to trick everyone into becoming crippled!

Even that's nothing...

This is the final battle!

This is a Heaven's Chosen Assembly, and everyone is looking forward to the final battle. They want to know how exciting it will be when these two scoundrels meet, and what kind of crazy tricks they will pull.

But what about you?

Is this how you fool us?

They can't even bear to act properly?!

They're treating us like idiots! So do we really look that stupid?

This Dog Thief and that Demoness are simply outrageous!

At this moment, who can tolerate this?!
