That night, everyone gathered together.
Looking at the crowd before him, Sun Hongtao said in a deep voice, “Tomorrow is the finals, and also the last match! The first match should be our match against Murica.”
“What do you all have to say about the battle lineup?”
Everyone looked at each other with some solemnity. It was really difficult to arrange the battle lineup for the final match.
They had already witnessed the strength of Murica that day. The four remaining participants were all at their peak. Moreover, just like China, there were still two people who had yet to fight.
The next day’s match would undoubtedly be the most dangerous one.
If they won, they would be the champion!
Without a doubt, Murica would definitely go all in. In order to win, the intensity of the fight would far exceed the previous matches.
Zheng Dali did not give in and said, “Director Sun, I want to fight!”
Ye Lingchen curled his lips and said, “What are you going to fight with? Just lie down and recuperate. Don’t cause any more trouble.”
“I…”
Zheng Dali had a depressed look on his face and said unhappily, “Director Sun, although I’m injured, I can at least last for awhile and give you a better chance of winning.”
“You haven’t recovered from your injury, so forget it.” Sun Hongtao pondered for a moment and said, “The finals are very important and the opponents will definitely go all out. If you go on stage in this state, I am afraid it won’t end well for you.”
In such circumstances, everyone would be ruthless. If Murica sent out injured people to exhaust Ye Lingchen, then he would definitely finish the opponent off as fast as possible, and his attacks would be especially fierce. The injured participants would definitely suffer a miserable fate.
“I’ll be first. I’ve never been on stage before,” Lin Xi quickly said.
“Me too. I’ll be second,” Chen Xiaoxiao added.
“Let me go first. I’m a man, so I’ll take the front. Lingchen is the strongest, so let him be the last,” Jing Shan suggested, “It’s said that the awakened ones can suppress martial artists. We’ll take the front first. Even if we exchange one for another, it won’t be a loss. We’ll leave the rest to Lingchen.”
Sun Hongtao looked at him. He did not know where this confidence came from. One for one…if only it was that easy.
“Why don’t I go first?” Ye Lingchen suggested.
“No. If you’re the first, the opponent will resort to sacrificing their participants. If you lose, it’ll be very dangerous,” Sun Hongtao rejected outright.
“Okay. It’ll be Jing Shan, Lin Xi, Chen Xiaoxiao, with Ye Lingchen being the last one!”
Sun Hongtao finally decided on the candidates.
Zheng Dali’s face turned red. He also wanted to fight for a chance to go on stage, but he could not do it.
…
After a night of silence, the next day…
On the final stage of the International Martial Arts Tournament…
“In the blink of an eye, it’s the last two days of the International Martial Arts Tournament. It’s China versus Murica.”
Wu Tianbao explained excitedly, opening the prelude to the finals, “Whether it’s Murica or China, both have two participants who have yet to take part. Moreover, both countries maintained a large portion of their combat power. It’s definitely an exciting competition, a clash between titans!”
Wu Tianbao was extremely expectant. “These few days, I’ve had a lot of thoughts. Some moments are still deeply engraved in my mind at this moment.
“They knew that they were outmatched, but they fought to the bitter end without retreating!
“They traded blows to create opportunities for their teammates!
“They entered the arena with injuries and fought to the end!
“All of you have already explained what a martial artist is. Young martial artists need such courage and vigor!
“It’s precisely because of such martial artists that we have our current achievements. That’s why we are here today…”
After ending the opening speech of the finals, Wu Tianbao cut straight to the point. “Today, China will be fighting against Murica!
“Will Murica defend their champion position from the previous year? Or will China turn the tables and seize the spot?”
“Let’s have a look at the battle lineup from both sides.”
“China: Jing Shan, Lin Xi, Chen Xiaoxiao, Ye Lingchen.”
“Murica: Sean, Anna, Owen, Kevin.”
Seeing such a battle lineup, Wu Tianbao was slightly surprised, “China and Murica actually changed their strategies at the same time.”
Ye Lingchen was the trump card. Meanwhile, the two female martial artists who had never been on the stage were prepared to go on the stage. It shows that they were aiming for the first place with a safe strategy.
As for Murica, although Xiao En was still in the lead, Anna had never been on the stage before. Right now, she was actually the second one to go on the stage. Meanwhile, Kevin, the youngest awakened one from Murica, was still the last one, acting as their trump card!”
…
“Kevin is at the bottom. Does Murica have so much confidence in him?” Tie Jun frowned slightly.
“That guy has always been arranged to be the last. He has never made a move. I don’t know how much he’s hiding,” Sun Hongtao said with some worry.
“It’s the last battle. Everyone, be careful.”
“Don’t worry. Even if I lose, I will bring my opponent down with me!” Jing Shan held a longsword and slowly went on stage.
“Be careful!”
…
On the stage.
Sean and Jing Shan quickly went on the stage.
Both of them were using swords and their gazes were extremely sharp!
“Begin!”
As soon as the referee gave the order, Sean was like a great ape charging forward with the force of a mountain and chopped directly at Jing Shan.
Jing Shan twisted his body slightly like a nimble snake and followed up with countless sword strikes.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The gold and white longswords kept clashing in the air. Their sharp spiritual energy hacked at the surroundings.
Sean did not have many moves, but each of his moves contained extremely powerful piercing force. As for Jing Shan’s sword moves, although they were numerous, once they clashed, they would be nullified by Sean.
The enhancement of the metal element was too great. This kind of feeling was like fighting with an ordinary weapon against a divine weapon. The gap was too great.
…
Backstage.
Ye Lingchen watched for a while and said, “Sean’s metal element is equal to both attack and defense. However, his movements and movement techniques are not as good as Xiao En’s. Jing Shan should be waiting for an opportunity to break through Xiao En’s defense with his ultimate sword.”
“The advantage of a martial artist fighting against an awakened one lies in the flexibility of their martial arts,” Sun Hongtao replied with a nod.
“Jing Shan is still injured,” Chen Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
Under such circumstances, a slight injury could be fatal. It was all the more dangerous as Jing Shan’s injury was quite severe.
At that moment, it was as though Sean picked up on Jing Shan’s weakened state, his attacks suddenly increased in intensity and turned into a violent storm.
The longsword in Jing Shan’s hand whirled. Although he could block the golden sword light that kept charging at him, his body was pushed back.
The next moment, Sean raised the golden sword in his hand and slashed at Jing Shan’s head. Jing Shan blocked the attack with his sword.
Clang!
Jing Shan’s body shook and he flew backward.
Following that, Sean raised his leg and stomped heavily on the ground. Then, he rushed toward Jing Shan who had landed on the ground. The golden light covered the body of the sword. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Jing Shan and slashed down again!
Jingshan immediately held his sword horizontally to block the attack, but his body was hit hard on the ground!
A deep pit was created on the ground. The sharp energy spread through the longsword to Jingshan’s face, leaving several wounds…
