Chapter 1016: Tang San vs. The World-Sundering Sword
Tang San had drawn number one, which meant he would be the first to compete in today's match. Moreover, the winner of this match would be the first to enter the semifinals.
A few moments later, the other contestants also began drawing lots, but no one else displayed their number openly like Tang San did. Preventing opponents from preparing in advance was basic tactics.
The calm voice of the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor rang out again. "The first pair, go on the platform."
The eight sharp spikes on Tang San's back pushed against the ground, propelling him up and landing him on the platform.
At the same time, not far from the VIP pavilion where he had been, another figure leaped into the air, shooting toward the part of the platform opposite to where Tang San stood.
A seeded contestant!
Without even turning his head, Tang San already knew that his draw this round was against a seed. The next moment, he sensed who his opponent was, and his expression turned rather odd. Is this what bad karma feels like?
Ning Chen'en also craned his neck to see who had such luck, secretly regretting that his own number wasn't two. Of course, he had hoped to draw Tang San. The next moment, his eyes widened, just in time for the entire arena to erupt in uproar.
Whoa, is this the first match? Why is there such a difference in strength?! How boring...
Without the statue, Tang San was undoubtedly seen by all as the weakest among the eighteen contestants in this third round. And his opponent, landing almost simultaneously across from him, had already been praised as a super-strong contestant in previous rounds, one of the people with the best chance of making it to the end of the Battle for the Throne. He was most definitely among the favorites.
