Chapter 1023: Xu Anyu vs. Jin Anguo
Aside from Mei Gongzi, every other contestant who had made it into the semifinals had fought their way here. Moreover, winning three consecutive matches hadn't been as easy for them as it had been for Tang San. Most had relied purely on their own formidable strength to enter the semifinals.
Therefore, any opponent in the semifinals would only be stronger, and every battle would be a hard one. Strategic and tactical planning would be all the more critical.
As usual, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor stood on the mountainside, conducting the draw.
"The elimination stage is over. We will now begin the semifinals. The semifinals will follow a round-robin format, and the final rankings will be based on points. The top three male and female contestants will enter the final championship round. Now, we will start with the draw for the first day. Male contestants, please get ready for your draw."
Tang San and Ning Chen'en clamped their mouths shut.
When they heard the announcement, all the other contestants emerged, males and females alike.
Out of the corner of his eye, Tang San caught sight of Mei Gongzi stepping out of her own pavilion.
Today, she wore a white mid-length dress, the hem falling just below her knees and revealing jade-like calves. The cinched waist perfectly outlined her graceful curves. Her peerless face was still hidden beneath a veil. Today marked the first time that the grand prize of this matchmaking tournament would truly take part.
Although she had been the champion of the Ancestral Court Elite Tournament, the Battle for the Throne was on an entirely different level. While no one underestimated her like they underestimated poor Jin Miaolin, few believed she could make it to the end.
Aside from Tang San, only the Undying Demon Emperor and White Tiger Demon Emperor had some sense of Mei Gongzi's true strength. Even the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, her own father, didn't fully grasp how powerful his daughter really was.
Mei Gongzi didn't look toward the other pavilions. Instead, she gazed upward at the sky, quietly awaiting the draw. Once the male contestants drew, it would be the female contestants' turn.
The familiar white light sphere appeared in the sky once more. As before, Tang San moved without hesitation and grabbed a number at once.
