Chapter 165 - 163: Showing Off My Skills in Front of an Expert
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Following Meng Xiaoyue’s rapid three thrusts that pushed Niu Qiang off the Martial Combat Platform, the tenth round of the finals and scoring match was declared over.
Compared to the ninth round, there were some changes in the rankings after the tenth round.
Qu Zhanqian, Ye Zhen, and Changsun Ran each tied for first place with twenty points, while Gao Xinglie, ranked second on the Heavenly List, fell to fourth with eighteen points due to his loss to Ye Zhen.
Ren Xihua had good luck this round, won a match, and scored sixteen points, tying with Han Shi, who also won one match, ranking fifth and sixth respectively.
However, because Sunx Zuohai lost a match, and Meng Xiaoyue, Cao Luo, Wu Ge, and others each won a match, including Bian Long and Yuen Hui, there were six disciples with fourteen points each, and two of them had to be eliminated from this group.
Elder Zhong proposed a simple method: within this small group of six, each person would choose an opponent to fight one match, then another, for a total of two matches.
Those who lost both matches were to be eliminated first; if there were still too many, they would eliminate the martial artists who lost one match.
Sunx Zuohai sealed his own fate. Being the first to choose an opponent, he had a great advantage, yet he mistakenly thought Meng Xiaoyue was an easy target.
