Chapter 2050 - 1845: It’s Over
Shen Family, because it bet with three sides, they wagered three-fourths of the family’s resources.
If Shen Family wins this gamble, after years of management, it will surely dominate the Hermit Realm.
But if Shen Family loses, the family will decline.
However, in the eyes of others, Shen Family is almost certain to win this gamble.
That kid named Song Yun, even if he gets past Shen Lingyun, can he defend against the entire Shen Family’s effort to kill him?
Shen Wenguang says he’ll die today, which is practically a death sentence for him.
At this moment, the eyes of the sss-level experts on the high platform are all focused on Song Yun on the fifth arena.
The key to the gamble lies with this person.
The future pattern of the Huaxia Hermit World hinges entirely on whether this person can survive today.
People couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically; an obscure little guy can actually decide the future of the Huaxia Hermit World; it’s truly unbelievable.
Moreover, seeing his dodgy manner, such a useless one deciding the pattern of the Huaxia Hermit World seems somewhat too frivolous.
At this moment, the fifth arena.
Song Yun feels a dozen streams of aura locked onto him. He glances over and finds that it’s the sss-level experts on the high platform focusing on him.
"These guys, why are they looking at me?"
Song Yun’s heart fills with confusion.
"Don’t get distracted, I can’t handle it."
From in front came Dongfang Yun’s somewhat anxious voice; Song Yun pulled back his thoughts and softly instructed Dongfang Yun, "Direction at eleven o’clock, attack the lower position, then guard the right side attack with your right leg, bend at ninety degrees, punch at the direction of one o’clock towards that scar-faced guy."
"Okay."
Dongfang Yun responded and immediately did as Song Yun instructed.
Following Song Yun’s directions, every move Dongfang Yun made was risky but just right.
Bang boom.
A heavy punch hit the scar-faced guy at the direction of one o’clock.
Scar-Face let out a miserable cry, spitting blood from his mouth, and flew off the arena.
"Good."
Instantly, a burst of applause erupted in the arena.
Simultaneously, there were shouts cursing Song Yun.
But those cursing didn’t know that Song Yun wasn’t hiding behind Dongfang Yun, but rather directing Dongfang Yun from behind.
Otherwise, Dongfang Yun would find it quite challenging to take on eight ss-level opponents alone.
Especially for her, fighting without revealing her ss-level peak strength becomes even more difficult.
However, with Song Yun’s help, it was much easier.
At first, she didn’t have the intention of protecting Song Yun.
Back during the battle with Poisonous Witch Weng Ying, Song Yun had already shown super strong combat prowess.
At that time, Song Yun was still in the ss-level early stage; she and Lin Jun were in the ss-level late stage, yet Song Yun surpassed them.
Now, it seems he still might be slightly superior.
Thus, she wasn’t worried about Song Yun’s safety.
However, at the beginning of the fight, Song Yun told Dongfang Yun that the medicine in her body hadn’t been fully absorbed and needed intense battle to catalyze it.
This led to the scene where Song Yun hid behind Dongfang Yun, and Dongfang Yun took on the eight opponents alone.
At the start, Dongfang Yun thought Song Yun was talking nonsense.
But when the real fight began, especially after several crises, Dongfang Yun truly felt the residual medicine inside was absorbed, making the True Qi in her Dantian thicker.
Dongfang Yun fought smoother and after successively defeating three opponents, the remaining four were no match for her.
This way, Song Yun was even more relaxed.
He stood aside with arms folded, like a bystander enjoying the scene, watching Dongfang Yun deal with the last four opponents one by one.
When the battle ended, Song Yun and Dongfang Yun were the ones finally standing on the arena.
Which means, both of them advanced to the top ten.
The arena erupted with thunderous cheers.
However, the cheers couldn’t drown out the crowd’s curses at Song Yun.
"You bastard, are you proud of hiding behind a woman?"
"Damn, really a pretty boy; even on the arena, you let a woman help you."
"Where is your bravado from when you defeated the Beidi Three Eagles? Now faced with true power, you shrink back?"
Hearing these voices, Dongfang Yun couldn’t help but frown.
She looked at Song Yun, "Can you endure them scolding you like this? Earlier, you should have acted to show your strength, to awe them."
Song Yun smiled, with a look of deep affection, "Earlier was an opportunity to hone you; of course I couldn’t act. As for them scolding me, for you, I can endure it."
Looking at Song Yun’s deep and loving gaze, Dongfang Yun’s cheeks instantly reddened, shyly lowering her head.
Seeing this scene, the curses from the crowd grew even fiercer.
Song Yun chuckled casually, not caring at all.
If he cared about others’ opinions, he wouldn’t be Song Yun.
He turned and glanced at the other arenas; Gu Man and Gu Meng on the third arena had already solved the battle and advanced to the top ten because they worked together.
Shen Lingyun and Shen Han in group three, Lin Jun and Lin Xiang in group four, also decided victoriously.
No surprises from these groups, as all the seed players made it through.
The only battle not yet ended is in group one.
Lu Tiange is seated at the edge of the arena resting, while the fight continues on the arena.
Another seed player, Shen Cheng, had already fallen from the arena; currently fighting are Gu Zi and another mid-stage ss-level opponent.
The difference of a small level, and Gu Zi is from Gu Village, the techniques she practices are beyond comparison to ordinary hermits.
Soon, she resolved the battle.
Arena number one, Gu Zi made a surprising breakthrough, replacing Shen Family’s Shen Cheng, advancing to the top ten.
Gu Zi and Dongfang Yun are two renowned beauties in the Ancient Martial World.
Her advancement brought natural cheers from the whole arena.
The defeated Shen Cheng, however, had a face full of frustration, pointing at Gu Zi and shouting, "Gu Zi, you cheated!"
