Chapter 831: Chapter 831: The Top 36 Decided
"No suspense anymore!"
"This little overlord Zhou Jie is simply a freak."
"Yeah, if it weren’t for his inability to swim, he wouldn’t have failed to advance, but this elimination match seems to have worked in his favor."
"Twenty-six matches in four days, all victories, and this freak hasn’t even fully unleashed his power yet. I think in our division, only Hua Wushuang, who’s said to be undefeated below the Grandmaster level, is a match for him!"
"Not just that, haven’t you heard? Group A had a dark horse, there’s Li Feng who can compete with Hua Wushuang."
"Li Feng?"
"Just search online, I have to say, this Li Feng is really strong. Not only is he a top-tier freeloader, but he’s also making waves even in the National Martial Arts world. He’s truly something."
"Oh!"
Li Feng stood not far from the two people chatting, wondering if he should use Azure Dragon to delete all the previous negative posts. These black posts were left online to make fun of himself and to keep a low profile.
Now that he had sold the Century Group and faded from the public eye again, these black posts seemed unnecessary.
"With Zhou Jie’s victory, the top four of the elimination group should be decided."
"Yeah, it’s pretty much settled. Little Overlord Zhou Jie, Qimei Stick Sun Yidao, Thunder Hand Chu Tianbing, and that deadly Shang Qianjiao."
The person swallowed hard when mentioning the last name.
"Ahem, watch your manners. That woman is not someone you can handle."
"What are you talking about? My mouth was just dry, swallowing my saliva."
"Tch, we’re all men here, who doesn’t understand? That girl Shang Qianjiao is really enchanting, with her slender waist and long legs. Even the celebrity host can’t match her allure."
"But you saw the previous elimination matches, right? This woman has something wicked about her. She seems to use seductive Kung Fu, and no man who clashes with her remains normal; they’re all charmed, losing without knowing why."
"This woman must be toxic."
"Relax, you’re just overthinking. I don’t even know her, just appreciating some beauty. By the way, has the arena group announced their results too?"
"Yes, Group A finished fastest. It seems Group C and D are also done, just B group left, but it should be soon."
Just then, some people walked in from outside.
"There you are, have you finished here?"
"Yeah, you came over, has B group finished?"
"Finished."
The newcomer nodded.
"Who advanced last?"
They started discussing, with Li Feng listening on the side; the top 36 should be all finalized now.
"Please quiet down for a moment. We just received notice from another venue that the top 36 of this Martial Arts Tournament has been determined. The technical team is doing the final tally, so please wait. The organizing committee will also announce the next steps soon."
Meanwhile, Li Feng received a text message on his phone, instructing all participants to gather at the largest plaza on the cruise, the Heavenly Court, which is where Li Feng was now.
A quarter of an hour later.
The big screen flashed the list of the top 36.
"After five days of fierce competition and two selection rounds, we have finalized the top 36 from the Southeast region."
"First, congratulations to these 36 who advanced to the final round. The arrangement of the subsequent matches will not be announced for now."
"Our cruise is heading to Sea City’s port and will arrive in the afternoon. All participants can leave, and for subsequent matches, please keep an eye on our official notifications."
As soon as the announcement ended, the crowd erupted into an uproar.
What does this mean?
Is the final top 36 competition not going to be public?
But the committee didn’t give further explanation and directly left the scene.
"Damn, what’s the committee doing? I was looking forward to the final 36-strong showdown. Now they’re just kicking us off the ship, what are they planning?"
"Who knows what kind of trick the committee is playing now."
Li Feng turned and left the noisy venue; the committee might have thought up some new, headache-inducing way to hold the finals.
Just then, Li Feng received a message.
The message informed Li Feng to be on standby, as the next match would occur within a week, and asked him not to leave Sea City for the time being.
After reading the message, Li Feng put away his phone.
It seems there might be a few days’ rest, which is good for Li Feng, as more rest means more time to heal injuries. Although Li Feng brought some common medicines on board, they were just for emergencies.
Once off the ship, he can speed up the healing process.
Li Feng walked back to his room, but there was someone standing in the corridor outside his door, another woman from the Xingyi Sect.
Though not Huang Shuyao, it was another delicate beauty, seeming to be a junior sister from the Xingyi Sect.
Zheng Qing saw Li Feng approaching but hesitated to speak, finding it hard to open her mouth.
Li Feng reached his door, opened it with his card, and walked in without acknowledging Zheng Qing, who was clearly surprised he didn’t inquire why she was there.
Doesn’t this guy plan to ask why she’s standing here?
If you don’t speak, how can I bring it up?
Zheng Qing gnashed her teeth, really an unrefined guy, she thought, and then saw Li Feng reaching to close the door.
Zheng Qing hurried forward, blocking the door.
"I need to talk to you."
Li Feng looked at Zheng Qing and said with mild interest, "You have something to discuss with me?"
Zheng Qing detected the teasing in Li Feng’s tone but bravely tilted her head to face him. "I know you got hit by my senior brother. Can I take a look at your injury?"
"Look at my injury?"
Li Feng was baffled.
"Yes, I want to see your injury."
Zheng Qing said assertively.
"No."
Li Feng flatly refused. What do these women from the Xingyi Sect think, or rather, how clear-minded are they? Huang Shuyao seems to have a protagonist’s aura, and this junior sister is a bit inexplicable.
She actually came over and said she wanted to see his injury.
Doesn’t she know that seeing an injury involves undressing?
"If there’s nothing else, please leave."
Zheng Qing heard Li Feng’s refusal but didn’t give up. "I’m not joking. I really just want a look at your injury."
"I mean no harm."
Li Feng looked at Zheng Qing. "Heh, you suddenly come over saying you want to see my injury. Are we that close?"
"Also, coming here like this, does your senior sister know?"
"This has nothing to do with my senior sister, and what’s the harm in letting me see? It’s not like you’ll lose a piece of flesh."
Zheng Qing said somewhat stubbornly to Li Feng.
Li Feng glanced at Zheng Qing. This girl probably doesn’t understand the dangers of society.
"You insist on seeing?"
Zheng Qing made an audible nod, uncompromising.
Li Feng let go of the door handle and turned back into the suite, and Zheng Qing, seeing this, without further thought, followed him inside.
