Hunting God Era

Chapter 149 Effortlessly and with ease
The top eight teams from Jianghuai Province have been determined, and at this point, it's enough to make some schools happy.

According to the rules, in the provincial martial arts competition, only the top eight can choose training sites within the province. Even if it is the eighth place, it is enough for such a large province.

Going further up, it would be best to win the semi-finals, but it's okay if we can't.

At least Principal Qian and Gu Yang were all smiles.

Only a handful of schools truly care about rankings.

Yangcheng No.1 High School, which has won first place for two consecutive years, is preparing to win a three-peat, establish its reputation as the top school in the province, and then challenge major universities.

Following closely behind is Wuyu Middle School in Langya City, a truly renowned school in Jianghuai Province, second only to Yangcheng No.1 Middle School.

Then came Yangcheng Wuyu.

There is also Zhubu Middle School, a major town in northern Jianghuai Province. In recent years, the quality of its students has been very high, making it a popular choice and one of the top four schools in the past two years.

The third day, the quarterfinals and the finals were all held on this day.

Those schools that were eliminated didn't leave either. Since it was the last day anyway, they just came to watch the competition and see the skills of the masters.

"Alright, the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals of our Jianghuai Province Martial Arts Competition will be held today. Now, let's start the first match: Zhubu Middle School versus Ningjiang No. 14 Middle School!"

"Zhubu Middle School has been one of the top four contestants for the past two years. Their martial arts have always been very strong. Lou Yu, who ranks 47th in the province, and Yu Ze, who ranks 45th in the province, are both martial arts practitioners who specialize in the Divine Speed ​​Technique. They are both from the Nine Dragons Sect and come from the same martial arts school. They are known as the 'Twin Masters of Shadow Stepping'."

"And Yu Hao, the 'Mountain-Moving General' who ranks fourth in the province, is a genius student who has broken through the Vajra Pass!"

"Ningjiang No. 14 Middle School, as a newly participating school in the provincial martial arts competition, is also extraordinary. Yang Jie is tough and brave, showing an indomitable attitude with the strength of the Seven Dragons Gate."

"Li Ye had a very outstanding performance in the last battle. He is a martial artist who follows the three-stage path and had a very outstanding performance in the city martial arts competition."

"And then there's Fu Chuxue, who defeated her opponents in one move in multiple matches, demonstrating that she is also a martial artist who follows the three-stage path and possesses the strength of the Eight Dragon Gate, but I believe it's far more than that."

"It is truly remarkable that No. 14 Middle School, as a rising star, has produced two martial artists who have successfully completed the three-stage path!"

As a judge who is a second-realm martial artist, he began to explain to the audience, "The competition between the two sides is very worth watching. Now, the order of appearance is in my hands, and I will announce it now. Okay, Ningjiang No. 14 Middle School will continue with the style of the previous rounds. The order of appearance is Yang Jie, Fu Chuxue, and Li Ye."

"The order of appearance for Zhubu Middle School is also determined by their rankings, namely Lou Yu, Yu Ze, and Yu Hao. Will it be a clash of titans or an easy victory? Let's wait and see!"

"Hate!"

Yao Ledan grinned and said, "What do you mean by 'easily solved'? Is this host even competent? He's worse than a live streamer. His speech is really awful!"

"I went first!"

Yang Jie didn't care about any of that. He was under the least pressure now because at this point, the key to victory was no longer in his hands. He would lose to anyone anyway, so he might as well unleash his martial arts skills and see just how far he could go.

He was facing Lou Yu, who specialized in the Divine Speed ​​Pass, which was also the route that most countered the Vajra Pass. After all, Yang Jie was very clumsy in front of the Divine Speed ​​Pass and couldn't be caught at all.

However, without the pressure, Yang Jie played at a leisurely pace, without any rush, and was completely on the defensive, looking for opportunities and openings to seize.

However, the opponent was clearly too strong and could not be fought by Yang Jie. After only a few probing moves, the opponent appeared behind Yang Jie and struck him on the back of the neck, causing him to collapse.

However, in the second match, Yu Ze, also from the Kowloon Gate, was no match for Fu Chuxue and was also sent down with a single palm strike.

In the third match, Yu Hao took the stage first, grinning menacingly at Li Ye.

As for Li Ye, the information has been collected. It is said that he defeated the outside helpers invited by the local martial arts school in the city martial arts competition. They were all martial artists who had broken through the barriers, but Yu Hao could also fight those kinds of martial artists.

He not only broke through the Vajra Barrier, but he also mastered it to the 'string' level, which is something that a novice who has just broken through the barrier cannot compare to.

Even if the opponent manages to pass three levels, they still can't break through. It's still uncertain who will emerge victorious!
Then, he was taken away by Li Ye with a single punch.

Jin Gangguan's skills were decent, but compared to him, the gap was still too large. He could just lock onto the vital point and forcefully shatter it. As for the provincial martial arts competition, if it weren't for the favor he owed to No. 14 Middle School, he wouldn't even have considered participating. He wanted to win the championship as soon as possible and end things early. He was really waiting for the College Entrance Examination Demon Realm to absorb the pollution and kill Tian Zhixing.

This one-punch kill caused quite a stir.

Some people have already speculated that Fu Chuxue may have broken through her cultivation barrier.

But now that Li Ye has defeated a martial artist at the Breakthrough Realm with a single, genuine punch, that's truly remarkable.

This means that Li Ye has also passed the test!
In the quarterfinals, Ningjiang No. 14 Middle School, a newly promoted team, replaced the old top four and became one of the new top four.

"Su Ao, don't be discouraged. Look, the opponent should have broken through the barrier as well. He took the three-bar route, so he broke through the three barriers as well. It's not shameful for you to be defeated by him."

As a local school, Yangcheng No. 9 Middle School naturally had its students in the audience.

Su Ao was being comforted by the female classmate next to him.

He had been dejected since his defeat yesterday, and now he finally had a chance to console himself.

Su Ao pursed his lips, then gave a polite smile. "Thank you."

Not so!

He wasn't afraid of whether his opponent had broken through three levels or not!

If he can't break through the three barriers, then he'll just be a stepping stone for them!
I've broken through three barriers, and at worst, I can have a fierce battle with him. He definitely won't lose!
Besides breaking through the three barriers, he still has trump cards and will definitely not lose. Even if his school is not as good as others, he can still make a name for himself instead of having to leave the stage in disappointment early and now only sitting in the audience.

He should have been there, and he deserved a share of the amazement around him!
There's no point in trying to salvage the situation now. Even if he reveals his cultivation level, there's no longer any chance for a martial arts competition.

"The National College Entrance Examination!"

Su Ao clenched his fist and thought to himself, "Entering the Demon Realm through the college entrance exam to compete for rankings is also my chance to make a name for myself. I still have a chance!"

Li Ye's side was resolved quickly, and the others were also resolved just as quickly. As long-time participants in the provincial martial arts competition, the four middle schools that were the focus of attention, except for Zhubu Middle School which caused an upset, all three of them quickly defeated their opponents.

Their fighting styles are different. In addition to trying to gain an advantage in the order of battle, they also conserve their energy and emphasize efficiency during combat.

If they are certain of winning, some players might only make a token move, stopping short of the final four.

Even if some individual players from certain schools are very strong, you won't get injured if you don't really fight them.

After all, today is the day to decide the winner, so it's good to conserve some energy and form. In addition, they are already strong, so it's not necessary to fight to the death for the top four. They will basically win easily.

Once the top four are determined, the next match will begin immediately.

Yangcheng No.1 Middle School plays against Yangcheng Wuyu Middle School, and Ningjiang No.14 Middle School plays against Langya Wuyu Middle School.

This Wuyu Middle School is the strongest Wuyu Middle School in Jianghuai Province.

The main players are all ranked in the top ten in the province, and they are all at the Breakthrough Realm.

But as strong as it is, it's useless when it encounters something outside the scope of the system.

In this match, Yang Jie conceded defeat immediately after entering the arena, wasting no time at all, indicating that this was beyond his capabilities.

Fu Chuxue, who appeared later, unusually unleashed several more palm strikes this time, shattering the Vajra Pass warriors' weak points.

Li Ye also knocked down the main player who was attacking the Divine Speed ​​Pass but also had some Qi Meridian Pass foundation with one punch, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

They will face off against Yangcheng No.1 Middle School, which boasts the greatest reputation and strength.
