381: Defeated again, probability and luck

If it went like the first round with Gao Feifei, this battle would very likely be lost to Su Yuan.

Having the precedent of Gao Feifei, Yang Qifeng understood the principle of a quick battle and decided to attack Su Yuan with full force from the start.

He clearly treated Su Yuan as an opponent requiring his full effort.

"Battle start."

In an instant, Su Yuan went all out, pouring the full amplification of the Star Energy Divine Emperor Breathing Technique into himself and the crimson meteor spear in his hand.

A river of stars appeared behind him.

The violent Thousand Break Prairie Fire Style continuously bombarded Yang Qifeng, while Yang Qifeng immediately imbued his Martial Skill with the Law of Thunder to clash against Su Yuan's Martial Skill.

The two exchanged blows for more than two minutes. Su Yuan seized an opportunity as the 'Power of Immediate Self' descended with a roar. The Law of the Spear covered the crimson meteor spear, and a terrifying Uncertain Profound Style struck Yang Qifeng directly.

Bang!

Just like Gao Feifei in the first round, Yang Qifeng could not withstand Su Yuan's powerful offensive and lost the ability to fight.

"Su Yuan wins!"

Outside the Arena Stage, Long Xinhan watched this scene with trepidation. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Su Yuan had become even stronger than in the previous battle.

This time, Yang Qifeng had used his full strength from the start to fight Su Yuan, yet Su Yuan not only didn't lose but had formed a stalemate.

Then, through his terrifying combat talent, he saw through the flaws in Yang Qifeng's defense and delivered a fatal blow to secure victory.

After defeating Yang Qifeng, Su Yuan gazed at the 2/12 progress in the Talent Six column and walked off the Arena Stage with satisfaction.

"Captain Su, Captain Su has defeated another Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist! Is he truly Heaven-Defying?"

"Holy crap, Vice President Yang went all out from the start, yet he still wasn't Captain Su's opponent? Where exactly is Captain Su's limit?"

"Do you think Captain Su's opponent in the next third round will also be a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist?"

Someone wanted to say it was impossible, but upon thinking about how Su Yuan's second-round opponent was also a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist, they didn't dare to respond.

In the waiting area of the Mowu Province Haifeng District Martial Arts Association, Gao Feifei looked at the victorious Su Yuan in a daze, a bitter smile inevitably rising at the corner of his mouth.

So... even if he had fought with all his might from the start, he wouldn't have been Captain Su's opponent.

Su Yuan returned to the waiting area and sat down. At this moment, the gazes of everyone from the Jing Province Martial Arts Association towards him changed again and again.

This time it wasn't wariness, but terror.

Especially the several Ninth Realm Initial Stage directors whose strength was comparable to Yang Qifeng's; they were frantically praying in their hearts not to encounter Su Yuan in the next round.

Judging by this situation, there was an 80% chance that Captain Su's next opponent would still be a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist.

They didn't want to encounter Su Yuan and fight him; otherwise, how would they get along in the Association later?

Losing to a student who was a whole Realm below them was simply too embarrassing.

"Very good, it is indeed as I expected."

Qin Chengyan looked down at the Jing Province Martial Arts Association waiting area, gazed at Su Yuan, and said something inexplicable.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Lingkong asked curiously.

"I won't tell you."

Qin Chengyan deliberately kept him in suspense, the smile on his face even broader than at the very beginning.

The second round of the Combat Gathering continued. An hour later, it was time for Qin Xuexin and Zhao Pengyi to fight.

As the battle began, Zhao Pengyi's leg movements were instantly restricted by Qin Xuexin. Subsequently, Qin Xuexin used the same move as before, forcing Zhao Pengyi to concede.

Qin Xuexin easily advanced to the next round.

Time flew by; it was now five o'clock in the morning on the fourth day of the Combat Gathering.

All second-round battles had concluded.

On the side of the Xiwu Province Martial Arts Association, except for Liu Qinsheng, Lu Yue, and Yun Yiyao, everyone had fallen in the second round.

After a grueling struggle, Yun Yiyao defeated a Seventh Realm Middle Stage Martial Artist and advanced to the next round.

For the Jing Province Law Enforcement Department First Squad, only Jiang Ping had been eliminated, while the others successfully advanced to the third round.

An hour later, the third round draw began.

"As expected, Captain Su's opponent is still a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but Captain Su's third-round opponent is actually still a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist; there must be something wrong with this."

"I feel like Captain Su's opponent was deliberately arranged by the Jing Province Martial Arts Association. I wonder if Captain Su himself knows about this."

"It's not a big problem. Doesn't Captain Su have the ability to defeat Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artists? I'm actually looking forward to seeing how many Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artists Captain Su can eventually defeat."

In the third round of the Combat Gathering, Su Yuan's battle number was 2, and his opponent was Fang Pengkai, Vice President of the Mowu Province Baozhen District Martial Arts Association, a Ninth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist.

Upon learning that Su Yuan's opponent was not them, the directors sitting in the Jing Province Martial Arts Association waiting area couldn't help but feel relieved.

However, a director surnamed Zhang's expression turned ugly.

His opponent was not Su Yuan, but the even more terrifying Ning Tianyun!

Director Zhang happened to be sitting to the right of Ning Tianyun. He felt completely uncomfortable and had the urge to leave this place.

"Professor, Professor Ning, please go easy on me later."

Director Zhang sighed heavily in his heart and forced a smile as he spoke to Ning Tianyun.

Being from the same Jing Province Martial Arts Association, he couldn't just concede right at the start; no matter what, he had to trade a few blows first.

"Director Zhang, please go easy on me."

Ning Tianyun responded with a slight smile.

Beside Su Yuan, Qin Xuexin looked at her opponent on the giant light screen with a strange expression, while Qin Lixiu beside her looked stunned.

"Little sister, you must go easy on me later. Let's try to fight for a while longer; don't let your brother lose too embarrassingly."

Qin Lixiu looked at his younger sister on his left, wanting to cry but having no tears, then looked at the giant light screen. His third-round opponent was Qin Xuexin, and the number was 1.

This meant the first battle would be theirs.

Su Yuan looked at Qin Xuexin's opponent, head lowered, lost in thought. How come Xuexin's opponents were all from the Law Enforcement Department?

And all were at the Captain level.

Although Brother Li Xiu wasn't a captain now, he was a captain before.

There's something fishy!

Su Yuan secretly thought that Xuexin wouldn't have gone to find the President too, would she?

But looking at Xuexin's oblivious expression, Su Yuan dismissed this thought.

"Did you do this again?"

In the private room, Qin Chengyan frowned and scanned Gu Lingkong.

"It wasn't me, don't look at me like that."

"This is purely a matter of probability and luck."

Gu Lingkong looked at Qin Chengyan with an innocent face. He didn't know what was going on with Qin Xuexin's opponent either.

He only manipulated Su Yuan's opponent; he didn't have the leisure to do that for others.

"Will the two opponents with number 1 please take the stage."

Qin Xuexin and Qin Lixiu quickly walked onto the Arena Stage.

"Battle start!"

Following her brother's instructions, Qin Xuexin went through a 'great battle,' taking several minutes before barely winning.

After Qin Xuexin and Qin Lixiu left the stage, the people around looked at Qin Lixiu with disdain, especially Zhu Jingrui and Zhao Pengyi, who secretly thought this person was truly shameless.

Even a fool could see that Qin Xuexin had gone easy on Qin Lixiu; otherwise, the result would have been the same as for Zhu Jingrui and Zhao Pengyi.

"Will the two opponents with number 2 please take the stage."

Su Yuan stood up and went to the Arena Stage, where Fang Pengkai confronted him with a grave expression.

After the previous two battles, no one dared to treat Su Yuan as an Eighth Realm Initial Stage Martial Artist.

As the battle began, Fang Pengkai took the initiative and charged towards Su Yuan. The power of the Law of Ice covered the long sword in his hand, and terrifying frost scattered across the Arena Stage.

Su Yuan held the crimson meteor spear, his expression calm as he quickly met the attack.
