Chapter 201: Stopping at the Top Four?

ancient as a dragon, its body was covered in armor forged from condensed true qi.He didn't need to dodge Fang Yu's punch at all.The harder Fang Yu punched, the greater the recoil force he suffered.So,...Below the stage, Xia and Guang's faces were grim.

Being drafted into the God's Army is the last thing they want to happen.

While the other two teams are also strong, there is at least a chance they could win. The God Squad, however, has no hope whatsoever.

Unlike Xia Heguang, Shi Fang, not far away, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the draw results.

Of the remaining three teams, he is confident of making it to the finals as long as he doesn't draw against the Heavenly Forces.

What made him even happier was seeing the Jiangnan Military Region get selected to play against the Beijing Military Region.

When he thought about how Xia and Guang's faces would turn when the Xunlong Corps got beaten by the Tian Shen Corps later, he felt a surge of joy.

"Old Xia, you have your day today too." Shi Fang glanced at Xia Heguang's gloomy face in the distance, smiling with a malicious grin.

……

"Oh, it seems fate isn't on our side for the Jiangnan Military Region. We can only stop at the top four," Xia Heguang sighed, shaking his head slightly.

"After the reform of this year's competition system, reaching the top four is already a very good result." Xia Xiaoying comforted.

"Grandpa, elder sister, why are you so pessimistic Didn't you see how strong Xiaolong just performed Maybe our team can really defeat the Godly Army! It'll be great when Xiaolong fights against Xiao Chen later!" Xia Weiyu on the side said excitedly.

Summer Tinghe also agreed, but she didn't think highly of Huang Xiaolong. Instead, she thought Fang Yu was promising.

Having witnessed Fang Yu's skills with her own eyes, she had an inexplicable confidence in him.

She always felt that the outcome of their upcoming confrontation would be surprising.

Xia Heguang smiled and did not refute Xia Weiru's words.

Xia Weiyue has no understanding of martial arts realms, ranks, or things like military ranks. Naturally, she doesn't understand how strong Xiao Chen and the Heavenly Soldiers are.

In Xia Weiyu's eyes, Huang Xiaolong might be very strong.

But the reality is, Huang Xiaolong didn't even have the qualification to fight Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's strength had long surpassed the level of elite soldiers, he was a king!

……

After the draw, the second round of matches will begin soon.

The first match was between the Silver Blade Force of the Huaibei Military Region and the Starry Sky Force of the Central Military Region.

Both sides performed strongly in the first round, sweeping their opponents with ease.

In the eyes of many, the two forces are evenly matched.

Of course, most of the spectators were from the Central Military Region, so they naturally supported the Central Military Region.

"This was a good match. The Silver Blade Corps is widely recognized as the second best this year, but the Starry Corps has also shown impressive strength before."

I think the Silver Blade Squad will win. He declared war on the Godly Forces yesterday when he spoke. How could he say that if he didn't have enough strength

"If you say so, isn't the Swift Dragon unit of the Jiangnan Military Region also very strong Their captain Dao Tian said yesterday that he wanted to win first place!"

The statement elicited a wave of laughter.

At this moment, the Silver Blade Corps and the Starry Sky Corps have already walked onto Longwei Stage, and the competition is about to begin.

In the war zone, the Xuanlong Troops were silent.

After being assigned to the heavenly squad, the team members who were initially ecstatic suddenly turned gloomy.

Even just hearing the name "Celestial Army" puts immense pressure on you, let alone facing them directly in battle.

Remembering the ruthless tactics used by the Heavenly Forces in the first round, they felt a wave of fear.

Huang Xiaolong's face was not looking good, but at the same time, his heart was beating with excitement.

The military district competition is a grand event that takes place once every four years.

Every soldier has only this one opportunity to participate in such a campaign.

This is a chance to prove yourself in front of many important people!

Huang Xiaolong has always been ambitious and wants to keep climbing higher. If possible, he even wants to usurp Xiao Chen's position.

So, being drafted into the Celestial Legion might not be such a bad thing for him after all.

If he could get on the field and lead his team to even a small victory, his future would be limitless!

After all, the opponent is the Celestial Legion!

"With my current strength, I might not be a match for Xiao Chen. But Xiao Chen definitely won't personally take the stage so quickly. If I were to face his subordinates, I would absolutely be victorious!" Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.

And Fang Yu also noticed that these team members were timid before the battle.

But he didn't care, and wasn't thinking about saying anything to motivate them.

Anyway, he never counted on this team.

……

On stage, the competition officially begins.

Just like the first round of the competition, both sides sent out their aces in the first small game.

The Silver Blade Troop deployed Wei Zhan, while the Starry Troops deployed Gao Zhengqing.

As the whistle blew to start the game, a wave of deafening cheers erupted from the stands.

"Starry Troops, Victory is Certain!"

In a cacophony of cheers, Gao Zhengqing charged towards Wei Zhan.

"Who do you think will win" Xia Xiaoying suddenly walked up to Fang Yu and asked softly.

Fang Yu glanced at the two people on the field and replied, "Wei Zhan will win."

Wei Zhan and Gao Zhengqing both possess cultivation at the late stage of the Qi Refining period.

However, although both of them were at the same cultivation level, Wei Zhan's aura was more profound.

This indicates that Wei Zhan's strength is greater than Gao Zhengqing's.

Xia Xiaoying nodded, didn't speak anymore, but watched the battle on the field.

Wei Zhan and Gao Zhengqing had already clashed, both of them displaying martial arts skills that were at their peak. Every punch and kick carried immense power, causing air to crackle with each blow.

The fight between them was particularly exciting, with every clash eliciting a wave of enthusiastic cheers.

But as time passed, Gao Zhengqing's movements began to slow.

It was obvious that after a period of high-intensity attacks and dodges, his stamina couldn't keep up.

At the same time, blood flowed from his forehead and the corner of his mouth.

At this rate, he won't be able to hold on much longer.

But at this time, Wei Zhan remained unscathed.

He keenly sensed that Gao Zhengqing was at his wit's end, with all his energy about to burst forth.

"Boom!"

A wave of masterly aura emanated, stunning the audience below.

"This battle seems evenly matched, but in reality, there is still a gap between the two... Gao Zhengqing is going to lose." A dashing man said, his eyes filled with shock.

As expected, Gao Zhengqing on the field, after feeling the surging momentum radiating from Wei Zhan, couldn't help but wear a wry smile.

"Captain Wei, it seems you haven't been giving it your all this whole time," Gao Zheng said after taking a few steps back.

Wei Zhan said expressionlessly, "Do you want to continue fighting"

Gao Zhengqing hesitated for a moment, then quickly revealed a firm look in his eyes.

If he concedes now, his team could still fight for third place later.

If they don't concede, Wei Zhan might seriously injure them, preventing them from competing further.

Logically, he should concede and lead the team to a better ranking.

But Gao Zhengqing was unwilling to do so.

As a soldier, as a man, he has his own blood in him.

Even if he wasn't Wei Zhan's match, he would fight until the very end!

In front of so many teammates and military comrades, there's no way he could ever concede defeat!

Gao Zhengqing roared with anger and charged towards Wei Zhan.

He gathered all of his remaining true energy in his right fist.

"Captain Gao, go for it!" The cheers from the audience reached a crescendo.

Faced with Gao Zhengqing's full-force attack, Wei Zhan remained composed.

He took a step back, focusing his qi in his right fist as well.

He could dodge the blow, but there was no need.

He will defeat his opponent with the toughest methods!

Gao Zhengqing rushed to Wei Zhan's face and punched out!

Wei Zhan's eyes were sharp, and he punched out with the same force!

Two fists collide in the air!

"Bang!"

On the dragon's platform, a deafening roar.

A figure flew backwards and landed dozens of meters away, blood flowing from their right hand.

It was Gao Zhengqing.

"Captain Gao!"

Members of the Star Corps surged onto Longwei Terrace, encircling Gao Zhengqing.

Wei Zhan still stood in place, his face stern.

His knuckles on his right fist were also bleeding.

"The first round goes to the Silver Blade unit from the Huaibei Military Region!" The referee announced loudly.

Gao Zhengqing lost.

A deathly silence fell upon the audience.

Gao Zhengqing was lifted up by his teammates and walked down slowly.

At this moment, someone in the audience began to clap.

The applause grew louder and louder.

Although Gao Zhengqing was defeated, he at least didn't shame the Central Military Region! He fought until the very end!ment."The divine aura, the crimson flames... this is exactly like the phantom seen inside the Shen Feng Valley... It really is the descendant of the Divine Phoenix!" Great Sun Emperor thought."Bang!"...
