Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 39: Finals Ahead of Schedule, Battle of Instantaneous Movement, Wave Light Sword
Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Finals Ahead of Schedule, Battle of Instantaneous Movement, Wave Light Sword
Chen Shun was stunned. He had only casually thrown out an opening line. Was Zhao Long serious?
He couldn’t quite come to grips with it at first.
But soon, he realized Zhao Long was just teasing him.
Surrender?
He knew all too well that Zhao Long wanted to win more than anyone!
He circulated his Spirit Manipulation Energy, getting ready for the clash with Zhao Long.
But just then, Zhao Long suddenly turned his head towards the referee and said, "Referee, I surrender."
Surrender?
The referee hadn’t quite caught up yet, while the audience and students below had already started making noise.
"Surrender? Is he joking? Why would he surrender?"
"Yeah, his Talent Skill isn’t weak. Apart from Jiang Xian’er who is slightly better, it’s not like he can’t fight."
"Even if he knows he can’t win, shouldn’t he at least try? It’s the semifinal, there’s no need to do this."
Everyone exchanged remarks, all suspecting Zhao Long was joking.
The referee too was obviously taken aback by his words, looking at Zhao Long to confirm, "Are you sure you want to surrender?"
"Yes, I surrender."
Zhao Long’s tone was indifferent, showing no sign of being facetious.
The referee furrowed his brow slightly, not expecting someone to surrender during the semifinals.
However, he didn’t say much; after all, whether or not someone surrendered was none of his business.
He then announced, "In this match, Chen Shun and Wu Qi are victorious!"
With the referee’s verdict, the discussions among the audience and students grew even more intense.
"Damn, he actually surrendered. I thought we were going to see a thrilling fight."
"Boring, just a complete waste of time!"
"Is this some kind of insider deal? Will Xiao Zhan also surrender tomorrow?"
Zhao Long’s reaction was just too unexpected.
Not only was Chen Shun unable to react, but Jiang Xian’er from the same camp was also bewildered.
"Are you serious? Don’t you want to be the first place? When you came to me, your purpose was very clear."
Zhao Long smiled and said, "Rest assured, I’m not so foolish as to let you reap the benefits of all those Spiritual Medicines without gaining anything myself."
"Then what’s the meaning behind your actions?"
"You’ll find out soon enough."
Zhao Long didn’t want to explain, and he headed straight down from the platform.
The more curious Jiang Xian’er became, but seeing his confident back, she remained silent for a while and could only quietly follow him.
On the other side below the stage, Lin Dong looked doubtfully at Xiao Zhan, "Why do they want to surrender? Wasn’t Zhao Long’s purpose of poaching Jiang Xian’er to deliberately irritate you, and now he’s surrendering?"
Xiao Zhan couldn’t figure it out either, but he didn’t bother to worry so much.
Others surrendering was their own business and had nothing to do with him.
He didn’t necessarily need to slap Jiang Xian’er in the face.
"All right, today’s competition ends here. Tomorrow we’ll proceed with the final round..."
"Hold on!"
Just as the referee was making the announcement, Chen Shun’s voice suddenly arose.
He was still standing on the platform and hadn’t stepped down.
Hearing his voice, the departing students all stopped and turned to see what else he had to say.
The referee asked, "Chen Shun, what’s the matter?"
Chen Shun first respectfully bowed, then said, "Referee, the day is still young, and I suggest we advance tomorrow’s final to today. Xiao Zhan and I are both in good condition, and it won’t affect the fairness. Moreover, this would also save the academy quite a bit of resources and time, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, the referee immediately wanted to refuse.
Because it was a rule of the academy, something a referee like him couldn’t just change, telling him would be useless.
However, at that moment, Vice Dean Wang Qian, who was sitting on the main stand, suddenly said, "I think it’s feasible, but we still need to ask Xiao Zhan. He’s just been through a battle and must be spent. Whether to proceed or not should be up to him."
Chen Shun didn’t expect Wang Qian to give such face, and immediately looked at Xiao Zhan, "Xiao Zhan, what do you think? I can give you ample time to recover. Since this day is inevitable, why not settle it now?"
Xiao Zhan, after just having rested, had actually almost fully recovered.
He looked at Ye Youlong to consult her opinion; after all, the two were a team.
Ye Youlong thought for a moment and nodded her head, "I think we can, ending it earlier means we can enter the Secret Realm to train earlier."
Xiao Zhan shared the same thought, an early contact with the Secret Realm meant their strengths could increase more quickly.
So he said to Vice Dean Wang Qian, "We have no problem, we can proceed with the finals."
Wang Qian said, "Good, since you both have no objections, let’s advance it."
Therefore, the referee stepped down and Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong re-ascended the combat stage.
Chen Shun looked at the two of them, eyes ablaze with disdainful flames, "Xiao Zhan, you’ve got guts, kid. So, to avoid accusations of bullying, I’ll give you another half an hour to recover."
"No need, I’m already well-recovered."
"Alright, if that’s the case, don’t blame me for not being polite."
Upon finishing his words, Wu Qi transformed into a three-foot longsword that appeared in his hand.
The sword was as thin as cicada wings, showing true translucency, yet the blade was utterly straight without a trace of bend.
The cold, white light of the sword, under the sunlight, seemed to perfectly blend with the surrounding environment, leaving no hint of the sword’s shape visible.
This was the Wave Light Sword.
Merging with the light, the sword has no form!
Unexpectedly, Chen Shun began with a major move, it seemed he really wanted to end the battle quickly.
Xiao Zhan braced himself, the Death Demon Scythe in his grasp.
The Wave Light Sword was difficult to deal with, unpredictable, and in combination with Chen Shun’s Instantaneous Movement Talent Skill, even tougher to defend against. Xiao Zhan knew, this was a fight that could brook no mistakes; a single slip, and it would become a disastrous collapse.
"Who do you think will win?" Sitting below, Jiang Xian’er couldn’t help but ask Zhao Long.
Zhao Long gazed at the two above, but indifferently said, "What do I care who wins, in the end, the victor will be me."
Jiang Xian’er was puzzled, why was Zhao Long still so confident at this moment?
He had already surrendered and admitted defeat.
Not far off to the side, Lin Dong’s gaze was viciously fixed on Jiang Xian’er.
"Stinking woman, lucky you conceded quickly, otherwise Xiao Zhan would have you searching for your teeth on the ground!"
Without seeing Jiang Xian’er put in her place, Lin Dong was extremely displeased.
"Xiao Zhan, go for it! Take home the first place, smash them!"
Lin Dong’s rage had no outlet, so he shouted towards the combat stage.
Even if he couldn’t smash Jiang Xian’er, getting first place for Xiao Zhan would be like slapping her in the face.
As long as it’s a slap to the face, it’s satisfying!
On the combat stage.
Xiao Zhan gathered his focus, gripping the Death Demon Scythe tightly; black miasma billowing from the scythe, like a reaper’s blade from Hell. Coupled with Xiao Zhan’s own stern and indifferent aura, he truly seemed like the Grim Reaper emerging from the abyss.
"Damn, that’s cool~"
Most students thought the same.
No man could resist such an overbearing weapon—if they did, they likely weren’t man enough.
Just like the saying goes, when it comes to appearance and momentum, the Death Demon Scythe claims second place and no one dares claim first!
Suddenly, both men moved.
Almost simultaneously, they launched their attacks, charging at each other.
From the audience’s perspective, one seemed plain, not even brandishing a weapon. The other was ferocious, a marauding evil spirit that bulldozes through all obstacles in its path!
