Chapter 256 - 15: Duel of the Masters
No words were spoken overnight, and the selection battle of Cang Country finally reached its final round, with Leng Yue and Magic Wind as seeded players, nailing down their roles as representatives of Cang Country. Besides them, there were four others who had already been ranked according to their performances in the previous rounds.
"As long as Fik’s opponent isn’t Xia Fusi, Leng Yue, or Magic Wind, he will definitely qualify," whispered the nobles of Cang Country who had come to watch in the stands.
The previous rounds might have been ignorable, but the final round was bound to be exceptionally exciting and not to be missed.
Excluding the third round where Lu Hong and Magic Wind were absent, there were still ten people qualifying for the final battle.
Wu An walked to the center of the arena, putting the bamboo slips with twelve names into a wooden box.
As Wu An’s right hand reached into the wooden box, Magic Wind prayed to the Heavenly God once again. After consulting his father last night, Yinmo had pondered but said little, leaving Magic Wind to handle things on his own. Thus, Magic Wind still held the belief from the previous round that the first and second slips drawn, featuring Lu Hong and himself, would not allow Wu An to protect Lu Hong under the watchful eyes of the public without incurring their wrath.
First slip: Lu Hong!
Second slip: Magic Wind!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Magic Wind stood in the seating area of Yinmo City, laughing uncontrollably. "Lu Hong, I see no place for you to hide now!"
The drawn Lu Hong also looked interestedly at Wu An in the center. Could this drawing also have been arranged by Wu An?
