Today's competition was supposed to have only four matches: two semifinals and two finals.
However, they had just learned from the organizers that the dark horse contestant, Mingxi, had gone missing during her trip to the Mystic Ground and had not been heard from since.
This ant she might directly withdraw from the finals.
This news made them more or less difficult to accept.
Had such a brilliant and dazzling new star fallen so suddenly and unexpectedly?
She was only 14 years old.
Not feeling good.
Really not feeling good.
Extrely not feeling good.
Wang Rui didn't even have the heart to comntate on the upcoming matches.
“Sigh!”
“Sigh!”
Two sighs echoed softly. Wang Rui and the host exchanged glances, but in the end, said nothing.
Although their mood was like attending a funeral, when the ti ca, the host still perked up, put on a professional smile, and began to follow the procedures as required.
Leaders' speeches.
Referees' oaths.
Match-up list.
The battle information was simultaneously displayed on the electronic big screens on all four sides of the stadium.
Semifinals:
ng Wenbin VS Mingxi
Fu Sushu VS Hua Lu
Once in the finals, there was only one competition stage left in the very center.
So, the match between ng Wenbin and Mingxi was held first.
No one expected that these two contestants, both from the Haizhou sub-division, would et in a narrow path in the semifinals.
Although there were only three contestants from the Haizhou sub-division who successfully entered the group stage, which was the smallest number among all sub-divisions.
But they valued quality over quantity.
Out of the four spots in the finals, their sub-division occupied half.
Who would dare say the Haizhou sub-division was dragging behind now?
It was practically a complete victory, wasn't it?
ng Wenbin was the first to step onto the competition stage.
His mood at this ti was quite complex.
Part of it was relief, as he already knew that his opponent would not appear in this match, which ant he had fortunately secured a spot in the finals in advance.
At least an Advanced Level Skill Stone was guaranteed.
But there was also regret.
Regret at losing an opponent like Mingxi, regret at the fall of such a genius.
Seeing ng Wenbin standing alone on the competition stage, the host sighed lightly, preparing to explain to the audience that Mingxi was absent from the match due to unforeseen circumstances.
Just then, a slender figure erged from the Staff mber passage and quickly ran towards the competition stage.
The host's eyes widened, and he gasped.
Wasn't the person who ca Mingxi?
She was fine?!
Had she returned safely from the Mystic Ground?
ng Wenbin also noticed the figure who had already stepped onto the competition stage. His originally complex and emotional expression instantly froze, then turned into one of disbelief.
“...You... how, how could...”
True dumbfoundedness makes other facial features follow suit and go blank.
ng Wenbin couldn't even speak coherently at this mont.
His mouth seed to no longer belong to him.
His mood was like a roller coaster, feeling as if the world before his eyes was spinning, wanting to faint, yet unable to.
Not just him, but all the other contestants who knew Mingxi hadn't returned from the Changheng Secret Realm were stunned.
What about the supposed disappearance?
What about the supposed possibility of her being dead?
Then who was this lively Xiao Guniang who looked even prettier than a few days ago?
Was she a zombie?
At this mont, everyone's mood was very subtle.
“...Fanfan, when did she co back?”
Fu Sushu looked at his cousin, Fu Yifan, who had just walked into the waiting area, his gaze sharp.
Feeling the chill emanating from his cousin, Fu Yifan unnaturally rubbed the tip of his nose.
“It was around eight or nine last night, quite late anyway. I was worried about disturbing your rest, so I didn't say anything.”
The news of Mingxi's return was sothing he had ordered to be temporarily suppressed, even his grandfather didn't know.
It was all to give everyone a ‘surprise’.
Of course, they definitely didn't intentionally arrive just in ti this morning; authenticating those materials took so ti, causing them to leave too late and almost miss it.
Fu Sushu gritted his teeth, especially wanting to give his cousin a {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} good whack.
He wasn't worried about disturbing them at all; he clearly wanted to see their expressions change!
That brat probably had an itch for a beating again.
“You'll have sothing to look forward to when we get back!”
Fu Sushu couldn't be bothered to look at his annoying cousin's face and shifted his gaze to the competition stage.
At this mont, the referee just blew the whistle.
The first match of the semifinals officially began!
ng Wenbin also managed to stabilize his rapidly changing emotions and began to form hand seals to summon.
Mingxi's fingers naturally flew.
Two ethereal Pet Spaces appeared, both red.
The next second, both sides' pets were in position.
The next minute was later jokingly referred to as 'The Loudest Silence'.
It recorded the dazzling debut of the first Lei Yan Great Wind in the history of the Alliance.
According to the recollections of the audience present, they were like a collective under a silence spell, unable to even breathe.
At that ti, the only one unaffected was the Beast Tars of the Lei Yan Great Wind.
“Wind Dragon Twister.”
Mingxi didn't care if her opponent was distracted; she never played fair in battles.
Golden Yuanbao was the sa.
Its huge wings vibrated, and a hurricane, like a gushing tsunami, swept towards the Advanced Level fairy-type pet, Dream Color Dew, on the opposite side.
As a fairy-type pet, Dream Color Dew also had a pair of beautiful wings, so it could also Flight.
But facing an Advanced Level Skill from a pet of the sa level, even if the proficiency was very low, it was still blown off balance by the Wind Dragon Twister.
Plus, its Beast Tars was like dead, staring straight at the intimidating big bird in the sky, not even glancing at it.
Infuriating!
It seed its Beast Tars was useless.
The burden of this ho still had to fall on it!
Dream Color Dew decided to save itself.
But the idea was beautiful, yet the reality was incredibly frustrating.
Only to hear the Beast Tars on the other side shout 'Thunderstorm', and the light points Dream Color Dew had just released beca a mirage, completely swallowed by large thunder flowers.
And then there was no 'then'.
Dream Color Dew fell.
But the referee's whistle for judgnt never sounded.
Golden Yuanbao flew above the charred steak, looking at its Beast Tars in confusion.
“Lei Lei?”
It asked if it should give another blow.
Mingxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she quickly shook her head. Another blow wouldn't be a match; it would be an accident.
She was certain that Dream Color Dew had lost its combat capability.
Because she had already heard Guangguang's prompt.
“Mr. Referee, do we need to continue?”
Mingxi looked helplessly at the referee, who was also distracted.
She had to admit that she had won this match sowhat unfairly.
Dream Color Dew's strength probably hadn't even been utilized by one-fifth.
But the occurrence of this situation was itself an advantage for Golden Yuanbao, so Mingxi didn't have any psychological burden.
On the competition stage, only victory and defeat mattered.
And Mingxi's voice, inquiring the referee, finally pulled back the referee's wandering soul.
He looked at the field and only then noticed that Dream Color Dew had fainted.
“Qu!”
“Dream Color Dew has lost its combat capability! Mingxi is victorious!”
And this whistle also awakened the others in the stadium.
In an instant, it was as if ten thousand crows flew over the Workers' Stadium simultaneously.
“What is that big bird?” Soone began frantically shaking the shoulders of a stranger next to them.
