Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Have the matches ended for the other groups?"
"Two teams have already finished their matches, and they're both people you know," Xiluo said with a smile. " Luna and Zhen Hong's team, and Cang Yue's team, have all qualified for the next round."
"The remaining match is between two teams vying for the last spot: the team of Qian Jiyin and Chu Ling, and the team of Night King and Ye Jiangming."
Qi Ling was quite surprised that Xiao Ye and Xiao Ming's team was able to hold their own against Chu Ling and Qian Jiyin for so long, since either of them was one of her strongest opponents at the moment, with considerable strength.
Among them, Chu Ling's cultivation level is the highest besides Zhen Hong's, having reached the peak of the One-Ring True God realm and almost breaking through to the Two-Ring True God realm. Even Qian Jiyin has reached the One-Ring True God realm.
For Xiao Ye and Ye Jiangming, who have not yet broken through to the True God realm, being able to hold on until now is already quite their limit. Although Qi Ling doesn't know if their competition rules are the same as hers, in any case, this is bound to be a fierce battle.
"Damn it, what a pity! We can't see their match. What a shame!" Qi Ling said regretfully. "Ah, Xiao Ye must be using some moves we've never seen before. We're also very curious about Chu Ling's true strength."
Seeing Qi Ling's regretful expression, Kurumi smiled and said, "Don't worry, no matter who wins or loses between these two groups, you'll fight the victor. You'll get to see it for yourself then."
Qi Ling looked at Kurumi and couldn't help but say, "That's true, but Kurumi, from now on we'll be enemies, and I won't show you any mercy."
"Hehe, then please take care of me!" Kurumi laughed.
Soon, the results of the final group competition came in, and Qian Jiyin and Chu Ling were the victors, securing the last two spots.
"Damn it, I'm so unwilling to accept this!" At the place where everyone had gathered earlier, Qi Ling saw Xiao Ye again and said to Qi Ling with great resentment, "Those two guys were just too unfair! They were despicable and cunning, otherwise I could definitely have beaten them!"
Qi Ling helplessly comforted her, saying, "Alright, you've already done a great job. With such a big difference in strength, you were still able to push the other party to this point. You truly are worthy of your reputation."
Luna, standing nearby, chimed in, "Yeah, Xiao Ye, I heard from Xiluo that you guys were really good. Not only were your scores keeping up with theirs, but you almost beat them too. It's such a shame."
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. No matter what, we're still a little short," Xiao Ye said helplessly. "Well then, the rest of the matches are up to you!"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely defeat those two and win the championship!"
Luna chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiao Ye, I will definitely help Qi Ling win the championship!"
Although Luna's words were somewhat strange, since they came from Luna, they seemed reasonable. For her, obtaining the Demon God Godhood was completely useless; all she wanted to do was help Qi Ling.
"That's great, Qi Ling! I'd love to compete with you again," Xiao Ye said. "But it's alright, the people from the Devil Realm already said that your competition will be held in three days, and we've also been granted the right to observe from the stands."
"We'll be cheering you on then, so you'd better do your best!"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "No problem, don't worry!"
The eight finalists are Qi Ling, Kurumi, Luna, Zhen Hong, Cang Yue, Fei Feiyu, Chu Ling, and Qian Jiyin. Each of them is a powerful individual with absolute strength, and they will become coveted by various forces in the Devil Realm.
To be honest, Qi Ling wasn't entirely confident of victory against such opponents, as many of them were stronger than herself, and no one could predict what she would encounter in the competition.
During the previous matches, everyone suffered some injuries, which could potentially affect the later matches. That's why everyone was given three days to recover.
However, although everyone was given three days to recover, they were not allowed to travel to other worlds; they could only carry out their daily activities here.
There is a very special power in the Devil Realm that can accelerate a person's recovery speed. Combined with the Devil Realm's special healing methods, any injury, unless it is devastating, can be healed within three days.
Therefore, these three days felt like a vacation for everyone, allowing them to fully enjoy everything prepared without worrying about anything else.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Qi Ling naturally rested his body and mind, making final preparations before the battle. However, on this day, looking at the three catgirls sitting in front of him, he felt that even if he was very calm, he couldn't stay calm.
"Could you explain to me what happened?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask. " Luna is one thing, since she's going to compete with me, but what are you two doing here, Xiluo and Alice?"
"Oh, don't worry about it, Qi Ling, we're here of our own volition, it has absolutely nothing to do with you!" Alice said, gently wagging her tail. "We're definitely not here on behalf of the Demon Alliance to contact you or observe you, absolutely not!"
Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh helplessly. As the third leader of the Demon Alliance, Alice couldn't possibly be so naive. Through their interactions over this period, she had come to understand Qi Ling's personality. Speaking her mind directly was the best way to gain Qi Ling's favor and trust.
Although Alice is the smallest of the three present, almost small enough to be held in one's arms, she is clearly the strongest, after all, she is a genuine Devil King and one of the top combatants in the Devil Realm.
Qi Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Don't you know enough about me? Even through Luna, you should know everything about me, right?"
"Yes, I do understand it very well, but that doesn't stop us from continuing to have contact with you," Alice said with a smile. "Besides, Qi Ling, you must have a lot to know about the Devil Realm, right? Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand!"
