Chapter 980: Perseverance is Victory
The third round of the Martial Arts Competition officially began, and in the pursuit of authenticity, the leader of Xuanjian Sect fought over three hundred rounds with his opponent. In the end, the leader of Xuanjian Sect was injured but managed to win the tough battle.
The audience witnessed a splendid martial arts duel and, since most had bet on both sides, nearly everyone made a profit, and no one suspected the leader of Xuanjian Sect of foul play.
The main betting house did incur significant losses, but these were much lower than expected, which allowed the bookie a sigh of relief, thinking that the losses here could be recouped elsewhere.
Subsequently, Jin Yi and the Female Sword Immortal also defeated their respective opponents, successfully moving on to the top eight and greatly enhancing their reputations.
With only the last match of the third round remaining, which was also the focus of everyone’s attention, both the leader of Xuanjian Sect and the main betting house kept their eyes firmly on this bout.
Gu Fan had already stepped onto the platform and began to warm up his muscles, completely ignoring the surprised looks from all around, leisurely carrying out his warm-up exercises.
The Lightning-curved Blade Guo Hu stepped onto the platform with a solemn stride, his eyes filled with sharpness, as if he himself was a razor-edged blade, his formidable murderous look chilling to the onlookers.
Seeing such a skilled opponent as the Lightning-curved Blade Guo Hu, many in the crowd regretted betting on Gu Fan. But, it was too late to change their minds now.
Even a fool could see the disparity in aura between the Lightning-curved Blade Guo Hu and Gu Fan. Simply comparing their presences, Gu Fan was utterly surpassed and there seemed little hope for him in the actual competition.
