Chapter 137 - 136: Fan Wei is Very Jealous
"Tang Yi wins!"
Following the referee’s declaration, the people of Fengyue City erupted in cheers once more.
Tang Yi’s name once again echoed from Unrivaled Square throughout the entire city!
He won! He won again!
Tang Yi actually defeated Liu Yu, a Four-star Battle Grandmaster!
If people dismissed Tang Yi’s earlier victory over Fang Tian as a fluke because no one saw it clearly, then his victory over Liu Yu was undeniably a win achieved through sheer power!
Because everyone in the arena saw it.
With just one hand, Tang Yi blocked the sky-filling flurry of palm strikes from Liu Yu. No matter what Liu Yu tried, he couldn’t get an inch closer.
Doesn’t this level of strength speak for itself?
Even a three-year-old could see that Tang Yi completely overpowered Liu Yu, right?!
"Senior Brother Xiao, it seems our Fengyue City has won again," Wang Zongyao said to Xiao Bai with another cheerful laugh from the high platform.
"Hmph. You’ve only beaten our second contestant. We still have three more who haven’t fought yet!" Xiao Bai said coldly.
But despite his words, Xiao Bai’s expression grew uglier.
And the doubt in his heart intensified.
He couldn’t see through the Level of the contestant before him, the one called Tang Yi!
As a Battle King, how could Xiao Bai possibly be unable to see through a contestant’s Level?
’There are only three possibilities. First, the contestant has no strength at all.’
’Second, the contestant possesses an item that provides Level Concealment.’
’Third, the contestant’s Level or strength is even higher than my own.’
’The first possibility can be completely ruled out. Anyone with eyes can see that Tang Yi has strength.’
’So, only two possibilities remain.’
Xiao Bai also dismissed the third possibility.
’Tang Yi is just a contestant, and so young. How could he possibly be a Battle King? How could his strength be greater than mine?’
Therefore, Xiao Bai ruled out the third possibility, leaving only the second. ’Tang Yi must be carrying some kind of item that provides Level Concealment!’
But this second possibility also gave Xiao Bai pause.
’An item that provides Level Concealment?’
’Why would he carry such an item?’
’Is he afraid his strength is too great and will be discovered? So he hides it?’
From this line of reasoning, Xiao Bai deduced that Tang Yi’s strength must be extraordinary—at least that of a Five-star Battle Grandmaster or higher. The past two matches made that clear. This would also explain why Tang Yi could so easily defeat Fang Tian and Liu Yu.
’No wonder. No wonder Wang Zongyao is so calm.’
’So he had an ace up his sleeve like Tang Yi all along!’
After running through these thoughts, Xiao Bai cursed inwardly. ’Wang Zongyao, you old fox. To think you had a trump card like this... no wonder you dared to make a bet with me... ’
Of course, no matter how he racked his brain, Xiao Bai would never have guessed that Tang Yi didn’t possess any Level Concealment item. Instead, his strength had truly reached the Level of a Battle King—and he was even more powerful than Xiao Bai himself!
"If we can win two, we can win three, four, and five. I believe our Fengyue City will claim victory in this competition. Senior Brother Xiao, you’d better get that Black Silk Treasure Armor of yours polished and ready," Wang Zongyao said smugly, seeing Xiao Bai’s foul expression.
"Don’t celebrate too early! Our third contestant is also a Four-star Battle Grandmaster! It’s hard to say if that Tang Yi can win this one!" Xiao Bai retorted, annoyed.
Of course, while Xiao Bai was annoyed, he wasn’t overly nervous. Fengyue City might have an ace like Tang Yi, but did that mean his Wind Rain City didn’t?
’Hmph! We won’t know who wins or loses until they fight!’
...
Wind Rain City’s third contestant was named Qiann Du. Just as Xiao Bai had said, he was a Four-star Battle Grandmaster!
However...
Not long after this contestant named Qiann Du took the stage, he was effortlessly knocked off the arena by Tang Yi!
He couldn’t even take a single one of Tang Yi’s moves!
This made Wang Zongyao double over with laughter and caused Xiao Bai’s face to darken even further. It was a complete slap in the face!
Moreover, Tang Yi had waited until Qiann Du unleashed his strongest Martial Technique before knocking him off the stage!
It could be said that he made Qiann Du accept his defeat wholeheartedly!
The crowd was also thoroughly convinced.
The third match!
Tang Yi won the third match!
A Four-star Battle Grandmaster couldn’t even last a single move against Tang Yi!
The people of Fengyue City cheered for Tang Yi once again. In that moment, his glory was boundless.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the Wind Rain City contestants grew even darker.
After that, with an ugly look on his face, Xiao Bai sent out Wind Rain City’s fourth contestant!
This contestant was formidable—he was actually a Five-star Battle Grandmaster!
He was two Levels higher than Fan Wei and the others from Fengyue City!
If Fengyue City didn’t have Tang Yi, the strength of the two sides’ contestants would be completely lopsided. Wind Rain City’s contestants could have easily crushed those from Fengyue City.
Putting everything else aside, this single Five-star Battle Grandmaster Level contestant could have taken on all four of Fengyue City’s other seeded participants—everyone except Tang Yi—all by himself. This just showed how vast the gap in strength was between the two sides.
But...
Even a Five-star Battle Grandmaster still couldn’t last a single move against Tang Yi.
After the Five-star Battle Grandmaster named Hua Xiang got on stage, he unleashed every technique he knew. He used whatever was strongest, putting every last ounce of his strength into it.
Iron Fist, Tornado Leg, Ten Thousand Kills Palm—each one looked incredibly powerful. The air on the stage crackled with the sound of countless punches and kicks, light flashed intermittently, and a powerful aura enveloped the entire arena.
However, he still couldn’t do a thing to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi’s figure didn’t even move. He simply extended his hand, blocking high and low, and all of Hua Xiang’s techniques washed away like water, completely ineffective.
Finally, with a single reach of his hand, Tang Yi knocked Hua Xiang off the stage.
Four consecutive wins!
The situation, which had been extremely unfavorable for Fengyue City, was instantly reversed!
And after fighting four matches, Tang Yi wasn’t even red in the face or out of breath. He looked completely at ease!
At this moment, Tang Yi stood on the stage, his body perfectly straight, a faint smile always on his face.
That posture of his was just unbelievably cool.
"He’s won four matches! Tang Yi is amazing!"
"Tang Yi, you’re the light of our Fengyue City! You’re so cool! Go beat those bastards from Wind Rain City to death!"
"Tang Yi is incredible! You’re the hero of our Fengyue City!"
"Wow, Tang Yi is so handsome! I want to marry him!"
"Oh, please. Look at you, with that thick waist... Tang Yi wouldn’t like you. If he’s going to like anyone, it’ll be someone like me. See how thin my waist is?"
"Uh, your waist is indeed very thin, but... aren’t you a guy?"
"Tang Yi’s charm is just that great. It captivates both men and women."
"Go, Tang Yi! Go for the clean sweep!"
"I’m hoping for a clean sweep!"
"..."
Having won four consecutive matches and on the verge of turning the tables, Tang Yi stood majestically on the stage, instantly attracting a huge wave of fangirls. Many of the women looked at him with love-struck eyes, completely infatuated.
It wasn’t just the women; even the younger men looked at Tang Yi with immense admiration.
"Hmph, what’s so great about it? Let’s see him beat Wind Rain City’s fifth contestant before we celebrate," Fan Wei said sourly.
A large portion of Tang Yi’s new wave of fangirls had originally been fans of Fan Wei. Now, they had all shifted their affections to Tang Yi, which made Fan Wei extremely unhappy.
