Chapter 454 - 454 Admitting Defeat in Public
454 Admitting Defeat in Public
Lanjiang City, arena.
The venue that could accommodate nearly 100,000 people at the same time could be said to be fully occupied at this moment. As far as the eye could see, it was bustling with people. The dark mass made people’s scalps numb. There were even many people who chose ‘standing tickets’ because they did not have seats.
The noise spread out like waves. Everyone was so excited that they were already arguing before the competition even started.
Some people felt that the Zhan Clan would obtain the final victory and successfully advance after crushing the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Of course, there were also people who felt that Gu Xi could turn the tide by himself.
Because of this, the spectators in the stands were in a heated argument. Of course, compared to those who supported the Zhan Clan, those who supported the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could be said to be pitifully few.
No matter how good the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s performance was, it was still just a chamber of commerce. On the other hand, their opponent, the Zhan Clan, still had three disciples left who had not gone up, even though their Zhan Hong had already been defeated. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. After these two short days of adjustment, the majority of the people believed that the Zhan Clan would win.
Although Gu Xi had shown great strength, it did not change the final result that everyone had already decided in their hearts.
Gu Xi and the others also rushed to the arena early in the morning, and then he went to the ring alone to prepare for the competition. After all, he was the only one left in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion team, so there was no need for the others to follow him.
Not long after the group from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion arrived, the group from the Zhan clan also entered the arena amidst the cheers of the tens of thousands of spectators. However, what no one noticed was that the faces of the Zhan clan’s group were not looking too good.
according to the bet between Zhan Wushuang and Gu Xi, they were not here to participate in the competition. instead, they were here to admit defeat to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
This matter was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the hearts of every single member of the Zhan Clan. Furthermore, he had admitted defeat in front of so many people. To these young people, this was an unspeakable humiliation!
In the arena, the originally destroyed ring was rebuilt day and night, and Gu Xi soon stood on the ring again.
On the other hand, the Zhan Clan’s side had a group of cold faces, and no one went up to the stage.
It was not known how much time had passed, but the judge could not stand it anymore and urged Zhan Ning to step onto the stage unwillingly.
“What’s going on? Didn’t Zhan Ning already get eliminated?”
As Zhan Ning stepped onto the stage, the crowd in the stands could not help but feel puzzled. Even the judge was confused. However, the other party was the Zhan Clan after all, and he could not afford to offend them. He could only patiently ask Zhan Ning what he meant by stepping onto the stage.
Facing the judge’s question, Zhan Ning chose to ignore it. Instead, she stared straight at Gu Xi, her eyes looking as if they were about to spit fire.
“You’re the first person who dares to treat my Zhan Clan like this.”
Zhan Ning’s lips moved slightly, and her voice, wrapped in spiritual power, was transmitted into Gu Xi’s ears.
“Oh, really? I’m truly honored.”
Gu Xi made a surprised look and responded with a smile.
Seeing that Gu Xi did not care about their battle results, Zhan Ning was furious. But when she recalled Zhan Wushuang’s order, she could only suppress her anger and threatened, “You will pay the price for what you have done.”
“I’ll be waiting.” Gu Xi nodded.
“Zhan Ning, does your Zhan Clan still want to compete?” At this moment, the judge’s impatient voice was heard.
“We admit defeat.”
Zhan Ning left these words behind before turning around and walking off the stage.
Hearing this, the judge was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrong. But when he came back to his senses and wanted to ask for confirmation, he found that Zhan Ning had already left the stage.
“What’s going on?”
The situation on the stage was unfathomable to the spectators. Even the elders from the various sects on the high platform were puzzled.
“The Zhan Clan… Admitted defeat! The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wins!”
After the judge confirmed the result, he announced it to the crowd.
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused a great uproar in the entire arena.
Tens of thousands of exclamations rose one after another. Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had heard something incredible.
The Zhan Clan admitting defeat was something that had never happened before in history!
It was not just the audience on the grandstand. The group of elders on the high platform above were equally confused. At the same time, Tong Shan and the group in the room were already stunned on the spot. They did not return to their senses for a long time.
“Why would they admit defeat? How could they admit defeat?” Tong Shan muttered. His voice was filled with confusion.
As their opponent, he already had a deep understanding of the Zhan Clan. He knew the habits of the Zhan Clan very well. Even if they were facing a battle that they had no chance of winning, the Zhan Clan would definitely not admit defeat so easily.
“No matter why they admitted defeat, at least we won.”
On the side, Tang Conglin could not find an answer that could convince himself after a long time of deep thought, so he chose to give up on guessing.
The process was not important, the result was what people were most concerned about.
“It was the right decision to let Gu Lan join our group.” Tang Conglin’s voice was filled with joy as he looked down at the figure on the stage.
Although he was not sure why the Zhan Clan had chosen to admit defeat, he knew that it was definitely related to Gu Xi in many ways. If the person on the stage was not Gu Xi, but any other person from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the Zhan Clan would definitely not choose to admit defeat at such a critical moment!
At the same time, somewhere in the grandstand.
The members of the Blood Spirit Society sat side by side, and everyone’s gazes fell on Gu Xi, who was still in the ring.
“I didn’t think that even the Zhan Clan would fall at the hands of this brat.”
The Second Brother looked at the group of people from the Zhan Clan, who were already walking out of the arena, and spoke indifferently.
“Boss, at this rate, I’m afraid it won’t be convenient to make a move in the future!”
At the side, the Third Brother could not help but remind him.
Now that Gu Xi’s reputation was getting bigger and bigger, if he continued to grow like this, then the chances of them attacking him would become smaller and smaller.
“Indeed, we should kill this brat as soon as possible.” The leader in red stood up slowly and walked toward the ring without looking back. However, he was not going to kill Gu Xi, but it was the Blood Spirit Society’s turn for the next round.
Unsurprisingly, their Blood Spirit Society once again ended the competition with extremely cruel means and advanced to the next round with an absolute crushing momentum.
