Chapter 775 - 387: The Final Match of the Great Impartation Contest _2
Long Kongkong’s mentor was Cowardly Knight Na Ye, not any of the ones in the Sacred Legate. Therefore, no one tried to convince Long Kongkong beforehand. After all, Long Kongkong had always performed well. Or rather, when he participated in the Great Impartation Contest, he was not initially expected to deliver significant results. That is until he fought his way up from the group stage, topped the seed list, and emerged as the leading participant from the Knights Temple. Yet, who would have thought that he would choose to lose his nerve at this point?
’There’s nothing I can do, referee. I was seriously injured yesterday. It’s not that I don’t want to compete; it’s just that I’m not physically capable. I pushed myself to the limit yesterday. Even if I attempted to compete, I’d just get beat up badly. That’s why I have to surrender. Speaking of which, I think there might be something questionable about the rules of our tournament. It’s hardly fair to rush into the final rounds without any break between the matches. If I were given three days of rest, I think I’d be able to regain my prime condition.’
’Shut up,’ the Warriors Temple Master sternly said. If there was indeed an issue with the competition rules, it was already too late to make any changes now. ’Let me confirm with you one last time, have you made up your mind to surrender the semi-finals?’ he asked.
Without hesitating, Long Kongkong nodded his head and replied, ’Yes, I’m certain. I surrender.’
The whole venue burst into chaos.
’The second semi-final match has now ended, with Zisang Liuying from the Magic Temple declared the victor. Today’s competition concludes here,’ the Warriors Temple Master reluctantly announced.
Both of the two semi-finals ended before actual competitions could take place, catching everyone off guard. The contestants who had been looking forward to watching exciting matches were left dumbfounded and speechless.
’Please don’t leave just yet. Everyone please hold,’ the voice of the Hall Master echoed.
Long Kongkong had already exited the arena, followed by Zisang Liuying. The companions of Zisang Liuying also watched Long Kongkong with expressions of undisguised surprise.
