Finals

Wu City Friendship Tournament

Day Three

The final championship match!

A match watched by all.

Everyone in Wu City was watching the citywide live broadcast in front of their televisions.

Yesterday afternoon, after Xin Yang left the interrogation room, Yuan Dingjiang's question had stunned him on the spot.

Fortunately, Yuan Dingjiang had not pressed the matter.

He had merely told Xin Yang, "Everyone has their own fortunate encounters, but you can't give up working hard just because of them."

Then he turned and left.

As for today's match—

With "younger brother" constantly reminding him in his heart,

"older brother" did not go too hard on his opponents and won his way through.

Xin Yang realized

that the gap between "older brother's" combat ability and his own was practically a difference between dimensions.

"Older brother's" combat experience and use of eerie energy seemed to come as naturally as breathing.

Meanwhile, he did not even understand fighting techniques yet.

The championship match began.

Xin Yang's opponent was Zhang Liang, a transfer student from Huabang City.

In the final month before the Awakening Ceremony, Zhang Liang had transferred from Huabang University to Wu City.

He was determined to claim Wu City's top scorer slot.

This championship match was being held at Arena Four...

At Arena Four, the referee first nodded toward the podium.

Then the referee spoke and asked,

"Are both students ready for the match?"

"Ready."

"I'm ready too."

The match officially began.

Neither of them wasted words.

Zhang Liang charged fiercely toward Xin Yang...

As Zhang Liang was about to reach Xin Yang,

Xin Yang drove the ball of his right foot forward in a vicious kick, intending to hit Zhang Liang while he was still accelerating.

The big shots on the podium could all tell that Xin Yang's charged strike was immensely powerful.

They all understood that power alone was useless. If it did not hit, its effect was zero!

Sure enough, just as they predicted, Zhang Liang instinctively sidestepped the vicious kick.

Without slowing down, he borrowed the momentum of his charge and threw a punch at Xin Yang's face, intending to strike him directly in the nose.

The nose was the most vulnerable part of the human face.

A full-force blow to the nose could instantly rob someone of their fighting ability.

"Senior Xin Yang is finished!"

The girls watching who were fans of Xin Yang all tensed up and shut their eyes, unable to bear watching him lose his ability to fight on the spot.

After all, Zhang Liang always ended his combat matches with quick victories.

It was just that Zhang Liang might not have been as handsome as Xin Yang.

As a result, he did not have many fangirls.

Xin Yang had only managed to throw that first kick because Zhang Liang had charged from afar, giving him enough time to react. Now that they were only a few feet apart, Xin Yang's reaction speed and adaptability should not have given him any opportunity to change moves.

After all, Zhang Liang was already at Calamity Eerie Tier Four.

While Xin Yang was "only" at Calamity Eerie Tier Two.

A two-tier gap was enough to create a tremendous physical advantage.

What a pity, Senior Xin Yang.

The girls below the arena shut their eyes. Before they could even finish mourning for Xin Yang, they immediately sensed something was wrong...

They did not hear any screams. Instead, the sounds of fists and kicks cutting through the air, along with the thuds of muscle striking muscle, grew even fiercer.

The girls quickly opened their eyes again. After just one glance at the situation in the arena, their mouths formed O's.

Facing Zhang Liang's barrage of punches, Xin Yang moved with incredible agility. He weaved and leaped through the narrow gaps between the trees, dodging every strike while still having the leisure to counterattack. He was actually not at a disadvantage.

They had misjudged Senior Xin Yang. His physical attributes were very good—no, absurdly good. He was strong and fast to react. His physical talent must have been off the charts for him, at Calamity Eerie Tier Two, to trade blows with Tier Four Zhang Liang without falling behind.

The big shots on the podium were equally astonished. Good heavens.

This kid had already developed his body to its limit. They had never seen anyone of the same age at Calamity Eerie Tier Two with better physical attributes.

Maybe he could defeat that monster!

Wang Han suddenly became excited. He gripped the armrests tightly and began cheering for Xin Yang.

He had previously believed Xin Yang would at most take second place.

Even if it was only second place, a genius from such a small place naturally could not compare with someone from Huabang City.

Those people had received instruction from the best eerie energy masters since childhood.

They had already won at the starting line before even Awakening.

His eagle-like eyes remained fixed on the battle without blinking, hoping Xin Yang was the genius he imagined him to be.

Someone capable of thoroughly defeating Zhang Liang. If that happened, then no matter what price he had to pay, he would be willing to "sweet-talk" Xin Yang into his university.

However, after watching for a few more moments, his heart suddenly rose again. Xin Yang's physical attributes were indeed exceptional, but his understanding of combat was rudimentary. He could not be considered a true eerie energy master.

He seemed never to have properly studied combat experience. Although his basic movements were all standard, that was all there was to it. His use of eerie techniques was extremely rigid, with no technique to speak of.

He had repeatedly missed excellent chances to attack, and he was not much different from someone fighting on instinct. He was more like a person with extraordinarily good physical attributes, yet his actual combat experience was strangely abundant. In the face of fierce attacks, he did not panic in the slightest.

That was unlike an ordinary person, too. Where had this oddball come from? Had he spent his life in street fights without ever receiving formal guidance?

If Xin Yang had heard that, he definitely would have argued that he had only been in this world for a little over a month.

How could he compare with people who had studied combat since childhood?

"Younger brother" was not a freakish genius like "older brother," someone who could not be judged by common sense.

The big shots on the podium were thoroughly baffled as they watched, and Xin Yang was not having an easy time either.

He was directly drawn into a hard fight, focusing completely on dodging Zhang Liang's eerie technique attacks while counterattacking whenever possible, yet he could never find a good opening.

His eerie energy attacks either missed or were blocked by Zhang Liang. Even when they occasionally hit his body, they only struck insignificant areas and could not cause any real damage.

At this moment, "older brother," who had been guiding "younger brother" in his heart all along, could not stand it anymore.

"Younger brother, let me take over. If you want to learn fighting experience, there'll be plenty of time once you get to university!"

"Let your brother finish this match!"

"Fine, bro! I'll leave it to you."

Older brother took control of the body again.

As soon as older brother appeared, he had already activated manifested eerie energy.

"Boss Xin Yang is finally getting serious."

"Don't celebrate too early. Senior Zhang Liang can use manifested eerie energy too. He just hasn't reached the proficient level, and he's Calamity Eerie Tier Four."

After "older brother" emerged, he quickly launched a vicious attack.

Zhang Liang saw contempt in Xin Yang's eyes at that moment.

Soon, Xin Yang's watertight barrage of attacks landed on Zhang Liang one after another.

A few minutes passed.

Zhang Liang's mouth was full of the taste of blood, and his lower leg hurt terribly. It seemed that the bone had cracked.

He truly could not hold on much longer. The intense battle consumed too much stamina, and the pain made it hard for him to concentrate. His breathing grew ragged, while both his strength and speed declined. Finally, he slowed for an instant and could no longer block.

Xin Yang landed a heavy punch on Zhang Liang's chest.

Zhang Liang fell to the ground. "Older brother" pursued him, drawing back for a charged kick as if he were taking a shot at goal.

If this kick landed, the battle would immediately be decided.
