Chapter 264 The Unlucky Zhao Huaikong
Seeing that Zhao Huaikong had already come on stage, Wang Changjun nodded and said:
"The game begins!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huaikong took the lead in getting into position, controlling the Qi with his fists and stepping on Yin and Yang with his feet.
However, when he saw Su Ren smiling at him, the scene of last night suddenly reappeared in his mind.
Gu Daoyi and Nangong Ao were trampled to death, and Gu Jianfeng was killed with a single sword strike.
Zhao Huaikong was so shocked that he took a step back, and the skills in his hands disappeared .
Zhao Huaikong suddenly cupped his hands:
"Goodbye, I give up!"
Then he jumped off the stage in two steps without looking back.
Su Ren: “???”
Su Ren thought that this man was going to fight him for a few moves, but he didn't expect him to admit defeat so quickly before he even took out his knife.
Not only Su Ren was confused, but the entire audience was also confused. They had no idea what happened last night.
"Why did you admit defeat? This is the first game!"
“There’s an inside story!!”
"I checked Zhao Huaikong, he ranks 17th in the secret realm points, so he must be strong. Why did he admit defeat before the fight even started?"
"Even if Su Ren is number one in points, there's no need for him to be so scared, right?"
Except for those who had experienced what happened last night and knew what was going on, the rest of the audience were all confused.
As for the many netizens who were watching the live broadcast outside, they were even more confused.
They were already shocked that Su Ren could participate in this trial, and this first game ended in this way.
That shocked them even more. Even if they didn't doubt Su Ren, they would have doubted him.
"There is something fishy going on. I invested in Zhao Huai but he didn't win. I lost everything!!"
"Fuck, I also voted for Zhao Huaikong to win, but he just admitted defeat. I'm going to blast him to death, it's really pissing me off!!"
"Give me back my fish balls!!"
No matter how people swipe the screen, the game still goes on.
Su Ren shook his head and walked off the stage.
Su Ren watched the following game casually, but their destructive power was limited and Su Ren found it boring.
Just at this moment, a message was sent to his mobile phone, from Chen Laoba in the southwest.
"Brother Suren, congratulations on your first victory. There is news about the scales of the Yamata no Orochi you are looking for. To be more precise, there is news about the Yamata no Orochi."
"I have verified it from multiple sources, and the credibility of the news is at least 80%."
"I heard from a merchant who came back from Sakura Country that someone saw Yamata no Orochi at the Futu Mountain Pass. Now many professionals in Sakura Country have gone to Futu Mountain to hunt Yamata no Orochi."
"I hope this news helps you."
After reading the message, Su Ren thought about it.
This trial competition can be completed in one day, so it shouldn’t be too late to go to Sakura Country tomorrow.
After all, we have only discovered the traces of the Yamata no Orochi, so let that group of people look for it first.
Thinking of this, Su Ren replied.
"Please keep a close eye on the news there for me. If there is any movement, please contact me immediately."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll send someone to monitor the news there 24 hours a day."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Yao looked at the message Su Ren sent back with a dazed look in her eyes, then she smiled sweetly while holding the phone.
Chen Laoba, who was standing by, shook his head and sighed:
"Hey, my silly sister, can you give me my phone back?"
Chen Yao shook her head.
"Brother, why don't you go buy another one and give me your phone, please~"
"Okay, okay, here you go."
Chen Laoba couldn't resist his sister's coquetry and could only agree to her small request.
Seeing that his sister was still holding the phone, Chen Laoba couldn't help but shake his head again:
"You can put it aside now. Brother Suren is in the middle of a game right now and won't be replying to your message."
"I'll keep an eye out for any news on the Yamata no Orochi. I'll tell you when I get any."
"Okay, thank you brother~"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about you."
Now, relying on Su Ren's reputation, Chen Laoba has rebuilt his Eight Directions Treasure Hunting Group in just a few days.
Now the number of people in the group has exceeded a thousand, and even the leader of the city’s number one treasure hunting group has to take the initiative to say hello when he sees him.
Chen Laoba knew that all this was brought to him by Su Ren, so he would naturally spare no effort to do things related to Su Ren.
"Old Liu, I asked you to send someone to Sakura Country . Have you sent them?"
Chen Laoba walked into the group's meeting room and shouted loudly.
"Captain, we have sent them over. It's just that the cross-sea transmission is a bit expensive. You sent twenty people over at once, which is a bit too expensive."
"Don't be afraid of spending money. You just need to remember that this is the information that Brother Suren wants. His business is the business of our Eight Directions Treasure Hunting Group. We have to get it done no matter how much it costs."
"When Brother Suren goes to Sakura Country, please arrange all his schedules in advance to ensure that no mistakes are made."
"Captain, excuse me for asking, what is Lord Su Ren going to do?"
"What to do? Probably to kill the Yamata no Orochi and get its scales."
"Remember not to delay."
After leaving these words, Chen Laoba walked out again, leaving behind only Lao Liu with a dazed look on his face and the other treasure hunting team members who were still doing business in the hall.
"Kill the Yamata no Orochi?"
"Is that so easy?"
Everyone was looking at the live broadcast of the national trial competition, which had already entered the second round of fifty to twenty-five.
When it was Su Ren's turn, his opponent gave up directly and didn't even go on the ring.
The audience was shocked again when they saw this.
"There's no conspiracy behind this? Even a dog wouldn't believe it!!"
“Geneva, give your money back!!!”
"We paid to come in and see the shady scenes!?"
Su Ren stood on the ring, spread his hands, and then jumped off the ring.
Wudi is so lonely that no one is willing to fight with him.
Wang Changjun couldn't help but shook his head as he listened to the various condemnations around him, and then said to his men beside him:
"Give him the bye for the one in the 25th to 13th place later. Don't let him go up again."
"Yes, Minister."
With the official operation, Su Ren successfully got a bye.
When everyone saw this result, there was another round of discussion, but this did not affect the progress of the game.
Because smart people have discovered that none of the trial-takers and the major forces behind them have raised any objections.
This is quite intriguing, and everyone can't help but start speculating about Su Ren's identity.
Some people even bet that Suren could keep up this trend and reach the finals.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the final sixteen were decided.
There was no time for everyone to rest and the game continued.
"In the first round of the top 16, Su Ren from the winner group will face Zhao Huaikong who has fought his way back from the loser group!"
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Huaikong, who had regained his confidence after overcoming all the obstacles, suddenly fell down with his eyes darkened.
Wang Changjun glanced at Zhao Huaikong who had fainted and said calmly:
"Zhao Huaikong fell into a coma due to an accident. Su Ren won this battle and advanced to the quarterfinals!"
Audience: “…”
