Chapter 1179: Please Perform for the World

Qin Zhizhen spoke no more, and Jiang Wang, having the answer he sought, took a step back.

"Victor of this bout, Jiang Wang of Qi!"

Yu Xu's announcement sounded out promptly.

Zhang Gu personally ascended the stage to carry Qin Zhizhen down.

Though defeated in this battle, Qin Zhizhen was still a Heaven's Chosen of Qin, and Qin would not let its genius feel disheartened.

Qin Zhizhen's King Yama True Body had been shattered, his internal organs pierced – a fatal injury. Yu Xu had preserved his vital energy, but for a complete recovery, Qin would surely have to expend significant resources.

Of course, for those who fought for their nation, no amount of investment was too much.

In the main competition of the Yellow River Meeting, as long as they were not slain on the spot, any nation would spare no effort in providing treatment to restore them to their original state.

The significance extended beyond just the future of one Heaven's Chosen.

However, only after Yu Xu officially declared the victor did people suddenly realize something – the two Inner Palace realm cultivators, representing the highest achievements in their Divine Abilities and who should naturally be among the strongest of their realm, had both failed to claim the championship!

One could only share the second place, while the other was even stopped at the top four!

The lineup for this year's Yellow River Meeting was truly terrifying. Even before the unrestricted bout for those under thirty began, it had already amazed people.

Who knew how many of these shining stars in the Outer Tower and Inner Palace realms would reach the Divine Manifestation or Cave Abode realms in ten or a hundred years, and how many would perish!

Before the Divine Manifestation realm, countless people wasted their lives. And among them, there were never a lack of Heaven's Chosen!

At this moment, Jiang Wang stood proudly on the martial stage. The wind and fire around him had receded, and the divine light was withdrawn. His green robe was stained with blood, yet he possessed an extraordinary demeanor, appearing as ethereal as an immortal.

The entire venue was silent. After witnessing this earth-shattering sword strike, the shock lingered in people's hearts for a long time.

Suddenly—

"Green Sheep, Green Sheep, you are the strongest!!"

In the Qi spectator stand, Master Xu raised his arms and shouted, his face red.

"Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang, the championship is within reach!!"

Zi Shu clenched her fists and also shouted with great effort.

Jiang Wang almost stumbled.

That arrogant and invincible aura instantly disintegrated.

He clearly saw that True Lord Yu Xu, who had been about to say something, stopped himself. It seemed he was also choked back by the sudden shouts...

For Xu Gao'e to be able to silence a True Lord, he was truly a peerless genius!

The reactions of the spectators from various nations at the scene varied.

Shouting such exaggerated slogans at a significant event like the Yellow River Meeting was quite inappropriate.

But with the battle just concluded as context.

Although the slogan lacked literary flair, it made people feel that there was nothing wrong with shouting it...

He was already considered the strongest, and the championship was indeed within reach!

It was the certain True Man surnamed Ye who finally seized the opportunity, clicking his tongue repeatedly: "Look, look at what kind of people are in Qi! They're pure flatterers! If An'an had gone with them to Qi, who knows what she would have become! Our Yun Country is still the best. Yun people are simple and honest!"

Ye Qingyu, who was beside him, covered her mouth and chuckled: "I actually think his friends are quite interesting."

The certain True Man surnamed Ye suddenly felt his teeth itch.

Huang Shelizi looked enviously towards the Qi side, nudging Zhongshan Weisun with her elbow: "Hey, I say, our Jing Country needs to keep up with the sense of ceremony! As a powerful nation of the world, how can we be outdone? When I fought hard and returned victorious, the cheers weren't loud enough, and they were sparse and not uniform at all!"

Zhongshan Weisun was filled with ten thousand dissatisfactions.

What's the use of telling me this? This isn't my responsibility either. Isn't the Grand Commandant of the Valiant Cavalry right next to you? Can't you, surname Huang, find the right person?

Of course, the most important thing is, you're asking someone who has already been defeated to consider the treatment of the victor at the end... Isn't that a bit too cruel? Do you think I, Zhongshan Weisun, am easy to bully?

Zhongshan Weisun was feeling indignant in his heart when he suddenly reacted and looked at Huang Shelizi in horror: "You don't mean you want me to shout slogans for you, do you?"

Huang Shelizi's face was full of 'teachable' expression.

She reached out and patted Zhongshan Weisun's shoulder: "Since you've taken the initiative, I'll leave this matter to you. The slogan must not be weaker than that surnamed Jiang. In this decisive battle, we must fight for both strength and momentum. If the momentum is weak by a point, it is very likely to affect the overall situation and lose miserably. Brother Weisun!"

She smiled and said: "You wouldn't want me to lose, would you?"

Zhao Tiezhu in his heart was roaring madly: "Can't you just say you're vain?!

You're talking so much nonsense! Do I not know you?!

To think of me, Zhongshan Weisun, what kind of person am I? A Heaven's Chosen of the nation, with unparalleled Divine Abilities, and you want me to shout such a shameful slogan for you? Don't even think about it—

Wait!

Is she already looking for excuses?

When she wins, it'll all be due to your Huang Shelizi's heaven-sent talent, and if she loses, she'll blame me for not building up the momentum for her?

Surnamed Huang, you are so insidious, you are bullying me too much ahhh!"

On the surface, Zhongshan Weisun smiled slightly, with a hint of elegance in his stiffness: "I'll... I'll do my best."

Huang Shelizi had just returned a look that said 'you understand', when she heard Yu Xu's voice.

This True Lord, who came from Jade Capital Mountain, was actually speaking to her: "For the sake of fairness in the competition, I will now fix you and temporarily solidify your physical state. The amount of time you just spent recuperating, Jiang Wang of Qi can also recuperate for the same amount of time. Then we will begin the final and contend for the championship. Do you have any questions?"

Huang Shelizi blinked her eyes, thinking in her heart, I wasn't seriously recuperating just now? I was watching the beautiful... competition!

But the words that came out were: "Then please wait for me to strike a better pose!"

Yu Xu: ...

To think of him, a dignified Dao Manifestation realm powerhouse, a True Lord of the current world.

He was speechless once again.

Earlier, when the words were about to come out, that high-foreheaded guy from Qingya Academy started shouting, and he really didn't know how to continue. In the midst of those shameful slogans, his speaking would have seemed like he was cheering for Jiang Wang...

And now, this Huang Shelizi from Jing Country, if you say she doesn't respect you, her tone is very good, and she even uses honorifics. If you say she respects you, she even makes a True Lord wait!

The reason is "the pose needs to be better"?

What is going on with the young people nowadays? Are they all cultivating "courage" first?

He thought back to when he was young, in front of senior True Lords, he was trembling with fear, walking on thin ice...

True Lord Yu Xu's thoughts, of course, no one could know.

People only saw him silent for a moment, then raise his hand, and a clear light circled around his fingers...

"No need."

A voice said this.

The voice came from that ancient martial stage.

There was naturally only one person speaking.

Everyone was surprised, and even Yu Xu turned to look.

Jiang Wang on the martial stage said calmly: "Today, Heaven's Chosen are gathered, and noble individuals are present. Supreme beings have descended with their Dharma appearances, and the Long River has stopped its waves for this. The battle between two people is a ripple in history, and dust in the world. How can we keep you gentlemen waiting for so long?"

"Jiang Wang does not wish to waste these few moments, so please start this bout quickly, and let me and Huang Shelizi perform for the world!"

After saying this, he respectfully bowed to Yu Xu: "Thank you, True Lord, for presiding."
