The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1042 - 559: Advantage

...

If they managed to get the blank marble, it would give them some much-needed breathing room, which would be a huge advantage in the rest of the battles.

Granny Sunx looked at Yan Xiaobao and smiled, while Li Qinghou's expression remained unchanged.

When the next round of combat began, Yan Xiaobao watched excitedly. Du Lingfei's opponent was a fierce disciple, often leaving the sect to hunt beasts, and accustomed to witnessing a lot of blood. On the other hand, Du Lingfei's light yet heavy techniques were frighteningly impressive. It not only provided her with strong defensive capabilities but also allowed her to advance with remarkable speed.

The audience was completely focused on the match, and occasionally you could hear 'oohs' and 'ahs.' Both warriors were evidently in danger of being injured, yet... there happened to be certain calls to cheer them on.

"Wow! Great sword move!

"Look at the reverse tail attack! Watch out! Look behind you! Quick, look behind you!

Rah rah rah!" Yan Xiaobao really wanted to see this fight, even starting to clap at critical points. This wasn't just behavior; Du Lingfei's performance left him deeply impressed, to the extent that he had forgotten he was actually one of the competitors.

When Granny Sunx saw what was happening, she coughed lightly. Li Qinghou's face remained expressionless, but inside, all he could do was shrug. After all, Yan Xiaobao had already completed the assigned task.

Against such a strong opponent, Du Lingfei had no time to get distracted. She was completely focused on the time needed for the incense to burn, and after using her light techniques three times, she finally achieved victory.

However, she ultimately exhausted more than half of her spiritual energy. Sweating, she was about to step out of the arena to rest when she heard Yan Xiaobao cheering her on. Then she thought about how incredible it was for her to reach the top three, yet Yan Xiaobao did it effortlessly. Her heart surged with emotion, hoping she could unleash a powerful attack on him right then and there.

When Yan Xiaobao noticed Du Lingfei glaring at him furiously, he blinked a few times, feeling somewhat offended. Then he glared back at her, which seemed to push Du Lingfei to the brink of unleashing an attack.

Chen Ziang's next match flowed more smoothly. However, he was still fighting for the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, wasting quite a bit of spiritual energy.

He was also very envious of Yan Xiaobao.

"We now have a top three. You are all Outer Sect... celebrities." Elder Sun cleared his throat. "Come forward to determine the order of battle. This time, the number three marble counts as a blank marble. Whoever draws it will directly enter the final match." Elder Sun waved his hand, and the bag of marbles appeared again.

This time, Chen Ziang was first, and when he pulled out a marble that said "number two," he sighed and stepped aside.

As she stepped forward, Du Lingfei took a deep breath. But then she stopped mid-step and turned icily to Yan Xiaobao.

"You go first!" she said coldly.

Yan Xiaobao, who had been watching the exciting battle, didn't refuse. As Du Lingfei looked at him with an icily detached expression, he reached into the bag. Not only was she waiting to see what would happen, but all the audience's eyes were fixed on Yan Xiaobao.

Even Granny Sunx and Li Qinghou craned their necks.

Being the center of attention in this way made Yan Xiaobao feel a bit embarrassed. In fact, he didn't even care what marble he pulled out, but when he finally withdrew his hand, his eyes widened in shock.

Third.

Yan Xiaobao glanced back at Du Lingfei, coughed lightly, and said, "Uh, hey, you let me go first."

Her eyes sparkling, Du Lingfei clenched her fists and glared hard at Yan Xiaobao. She took a deep breath, her chest rising; she seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Chen Ziang's eyes widened, his jaw dropping. The thought of someone being so lucky was beyond his imagination. Once again... Yan Xiaobao would skip an entire match.

The surrounding disciples, seeing the marble in Yan Xiaobao's hand, could not contain themselves. The place burst into a huge commotion.

"He advances automatically again! His name is Yan Xiaobao, right? How... how is he so lucky!? He drew the blank marble twice in a row!"

"How shameless is this guy! He did nothing, yet he's in the final match..."

"How can such a person enter the finals? Damn it, if I were lucky, I could do the same thing!" Everyone was in an uproar, and those who were eliminated earlier seemed especially envious.

Elder Sun hesitated, then looked at Li Qinghou. Li Qinghou sighed deeply; he had to admit Yan Xiaobao was indeed very lucky.

To Yan Xiaobao, the crowd had no reason to react this way. Smiling awkwardly, he quickly walked out of the arena, standing outside with an embarrassed expression.

"Ai. Anyway, I was planning to concede..." he thought, looking dubiously at the marble in his hand.

Du Lingfei took a deep breath, suppressing her extreme irritation. Clenching her teeth, she looked at Chen Ziang, settling her Qi and clearing her thoughts. She had done her homework on Chen Ziang, knowing he was a very strong opponent.

As he stared at Du Lingfei, Chen Ziang forced a pained smile and took a deep breath.
