468: The Last Battle
When Wang Chen and Carlos appeared on the high platform, the entire main arena fell silent.
Not only the audience in the stands, but even the host on the high platform, looked at Wang Chen for a long time without speaking.
They had thought that the battle between Wang Chen and Carlos would definitely be a spectacular and thrilling fight, providing them with the ultimate sensory experience.
Then, through the strategizing and battling of both sides, one party would finally achieve a difficult victory.
However...
It was indeed spectacular, but the outcome of the battle left them feeling somewhat anticlimactic.
The battle had clearly not reached its final moment, yet Carlos chose to surrender.
This result was unacceptable to all the spectators, and at the same time, it made them unable to understand why Carlos, the ace of Eagle Country, made the decision to surrender.
"Good heavens, even Carlos is no match for Wang Chen. This year's title of number one Prodigy will probably belong to Wang Chen!"
"This is unbelievably absurd! A Rank 4 kid has now become the most powerful contender for the title of the world's number one Prodigy. I feel like I watched a fake competition this year..."
"Everyone else is normal; it's Wang Chen who is too exceptional!"
"Even a Sacred Beast, which has always been a legend, has become his beast companion. I wouldn't be surprised by anything he does!"
After the silence, thunderous discussions erupted in the stands. Everyone looked at Wang Chen with shock and disbelief.
A Rank 4 kid, reaching the end of the highest-level competition for the younger generation of Blue Star, defeating Prodigies who had advanced professions years before him, just one step away from the ultimate honor...
Such an unprecedented event was unheard of by everyone, yet today it unfolded before their eyes, Real and undeniable.
At this moment, everyone found it difficult to describe their feelings.
And on the high platform.
"The first match of the fifth round has concluded. Please, the advancing contestant, wait off the stage."
"Now, please, the contestants for the second round, take the stage."
The host withdrew his complex gaze from Wang Chen and announced loudly.
But just then.
After Chai Yue left his seat, he did not go up to the high platform with Chu Youxiong.
"Host, I surrender from the second match."
"Please proceed directly to the final contention!"
He stood freely below the high platform and said loudly to the host.
"This..."
Hearing his words, Wang Chen, who was returning to the waiting area, paused and turned his head to look over in surprise.
"Senior Apprentice-Brother Chai?"
"I don't want to be abused by you on the arena. Let Old Chu handle such an embarrassing matter."
Chai Yue waved his hand and said with a very carefree tone.
"Uh."
Seeing that Chai Yue had made his decision, Wang Chen nodded and turned to look at the high platform.
Here, after communicating with the organizing committee, the host picked up the microphone:
"Dear audience, in the second match, contestant Chai Yue has chosen to surrender."
"Therefore, the singles competition will now proceed directly to the final stage."
"Let us anticipate what kind of spectacular performance Chu Youxiong and Wang Chen, both from Dragon Country, will bring us! And who among them will be crowned the title of this year's number one Global Prodigy?"
"Now, please, contestants, take the stage!"
After the host's words fell, Wang Chen strode onto the high platform.
...
In the battle arena.
Looking at the tall figure twenty meters away, Chu Youxiong's gaze was solemn.
"Wang Chen, I never thought it would be you competing with me for the ultimate prize."
"Be careful, I won't go easy in this battle!"
Opposite him.
Wang Chen smiled humbly upon hearing this:
"Thank you for your consideration, Senior Apprentice-Brother. I will also give my all and see how big the gap in my current strength is compared to yours."
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Youxiong smiled and nodded, saying:
"Since that's the case, then I, your Senior Apprentice-Brother, won't be polite."
Boom!
As soon as his words fell, Chu Youxiong's profound Martial Intent erupted, transforming into golden armor that enveloped his entire body. Instantly, an Aura as heavy as a mountain pressed down on Wang Chen.
"Junior Apprentice-Brother, my strength lies in burst damage. You'll need to be careful next!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Apprentice-Brother."
Wang Chen's Battle Intent surged in his eyes. As he spoke, Ice Purity, Susu, and Tuantuan were directly summoned by him.
At the same time, Mu Ling directly activated Life Fusion and War Aura.
Facing Chu Youxiong, this Senior Apprentice-Brother, this prominent figure of Blazing Dragon University, Wang Chen naturally dared not underestimate him in the slightest. He instantly raised his strength to its Peak.
On the ground, he, Susu, and Tuantuan stood ready, while in the sky, Ice Purity flapped her Dragon wings, flying and looking for an opportunity to strike.
For a moment, Chu Youxiong's vast and heavy Martial Intent, like a mountain, clashed fiercely with the immense Aura formed by Wang Chen and his little companions.
Before they even moved, winds and thunder surged in the battle arena, and waves of white energy swept across the field.
"Oh my goodness!"
"With four beast companions unleashed, Wang Chen clearly takes Chu Youxiong extremely seriously!"
"The battle between these two will undoubtedly be intense and fierce, and its level will likely be among the best in all previous Global Prodigy Competitions."
In the spectator stands, watching the waves of Qi pushed out by the Aura in the live broadcast, all the audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen, afraid to miss even the slightest detail.
Boom!
At this moment, Chu Youxiong and Wang Chen moved simultaneously.
One stepped on the ground and charged forward, while the other rapidly retreated.
At the same time.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The Ice Saint Dragon and the White Tiger roared to the sky, and extreme coldness and surging sound waves erupted simultaneously.
Ice Hell!
Roar of the King!
The two attacks landed on Chu Youxiong almost instantly, dimming the sacred Martial Intent light that was boiling on his body.
However.
"These little tricks won't work on me!"
Boom!
Chu Youxiong's speed did not diminish in the slightest. The sacred Martial Intent on his body seemed to have been fueled, surging up several meters high.
The incoming extreme coldness and surging sound waves were directly compressed and dissipated into nothingness.
The next second.
He charged like lightning, arriving in front of the White Tiger blocking his path.
Facing the massive creature several meters long, Chu Youxiong threw a punch.
Boom!
Sacred Martial Intent condensed into a Real, tangible gauntlet on the surface of his fist, carrying incredibly terrifying power as it smashed towards the White Tiger.
"Roar!"
Tuantuan roared, and its massive tiger paw fearlessly met the attack.
With a bang!
But the next second, that paw seemed to have struck a mountain. A powerful force sent Tuantuan flying backward, its enormous body heavily crashing against the barrier at the edge.
With just one punch, Chu Youxiong's formidable strength was revealed without a doubt!
"Truly terrifying!"
"Senior Apprentice-Brother's strength attribute has probably exceeded ten thousand!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Chen, who had stopped in the distance, flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Chu Youxiong's four-dimensional attributes were even higher than he had previously guessed!
However...
Despite this, Wang Chen had no fear whatsoever.
