Chapter 545: Chosen Son
When Ji You unfolded the slip of paper and saw the two characters on it, her pupils shrank sharply, and her heart pounded uncontrollably...
Damn!
This—
This—
This—
This is simply impossible!
All I see—
[Bye]
These two big characters kept assaulting Ji You’s fragile little heart, she could hardly believe her eyes, but these glaring words told her that she had to believe in her good luck, so—
In an instant, Ji You’s face was all smiles, with only her big mouth left!
...
What kind of heaven-defying luck is this?
This is truly the treatment of God’s own daughter!
In all the world, who could be more awesome than Ji You?
Ji You felt like bursting into a mad laughter!
The appearance of a bye was mainly because there was a slight anomaly in this year’s online competition. Originally, there were four areas—East, West, South, North—entering the final phase totaling 40 people, but the North only had 9 qualifiers. Therefore, when the finals started, there was bound to be one person getting a bye.
And, the lucky person who got the bye was truly the Chosen Son! Because, after the bye, he/she is effectively guaranteed a spot in the top 20!
Isn’t this luck the definition of being a Chosen Son?
Now—
I am that Chosen Son!
Hahaha...
Ji You couldn’t stop smiling, and in fact, she was so thrilled that she could hardly wait to run in front of Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang and others to reveal her identity! But, Ji You still held herself back.
Next, without her own match, Ji You quickly logged off from Star Network, deciding to chill and watch the other matches with everyone in the training room.
As she logged out, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Fufeng’s face next to her, not knowing what expression to use to describe it, constipated? Ugly? About to cry?
In short—
Liu Fufeng’s fingers were trembling slightly, his face slightly pale, he seemed extremely depressed.
Ji You curiously asked: "Big bro, what’s up with you? Why are your hands shaking so badly? Do you have a history of epilepsy?"
Liu Fufeng: "..."
Liu Fufeng turned his head, glanced at Ji You, and said, "I’m very normal."
Ji You chuckled and said, "Just kidding, don’t mind, then what’s with the shaking hands? Shall I call a medical robot to check on you?"
Liu Fufeng shook his head: "I don’t have money."
Ji You laughed, "Oh— I forgot."
Saying that, Ji You lost interest in pondering Liu Fufeng’s issue, she turned her body to look at Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Sheng Qingyan’s expressions, and noticed that aside from Chu Jiaojiao, the other two didn’t look too good.
Apparently, Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan must have drawn some less than ideal opponents.
Suddenly, a burst of exclamation broke out around:
"The results are out!"
"Who got the bye?"
"Who is it?"
"I—Damn!!!!"
"Rag Queen!!!!"
As this name appeared, all the students of the Combat Department were speechlessly shaking their heads, some even said: "What did this guy eat today, having such dogSHIT luck?"
"Based on her scores, if not for the good luck of drawing a bye, she would definitely be down in one round."
"Lucky her! I bet she’ll go down in the second round!"
"You guys are too dismissive of the Rag Queen, although she’s a bit sleazy, shameless, and thick-skinned, her strength is still decent."
"What strength do they have? Our East District’s ninth heading to the final stage is just delivering food to others."
Upon hearing this, Ji You felt displeased and couldn’t help but retort, "East District’s ninth earned their spot fairly through real fights. If you’re so strong, why don’t you go and compete? I think you’re the strongest ’Mouth Cannon King’!"
That person was left speechless by Ji You’s rebuke.
At this moment, nobody felt like trash talking anymore.
Because the battle lineup was being announced one by one.
First off was ’Little Shengsheng’, continuously giving Ji You tough battles, from the East District. Little Shengsheng was lucky; the opponent was the ninth from the South District, ’Ye Lu’. From watching Ye Lu’s battle videos, it was clear the strength didn’t match up to Little Shengsheng’s.
As long as Little Shengsheng doesn’t slip up, advancing to the next round should be secure.
Next was Chu Jiaojiao, whom Ji You was more concerned about. Chu Jiaojiao’s opponent, with comparable strength, was the second rank of the North District, ’Liu Wan’. One ranked third in their district, and the other second—predicting the winner in this match would be tough.
However, Ji You was very confident about Chu Jiaojiao; after all, this person had risen in ranks from the First Legion, Grandma Chu was once the top dominator of the Alliance, and Second Aunt Chu is the current top. Chu Jiaojiao’s own strength goes without saying—as long as—
as long as this person doesn’t suddenly do something foolish, conceding to a beauty with tricky moves, she certainly could advance.
One thing worth mentioning is that the reason Chu Yan, only ranking third, besides the first and second truly being formidable, another reason was Chu Jiaojiao not fighting seriously—in seeing an attractive opponent, she found it hard to move her legs or swing her fists...
Ah!
Then there’s Sheng Qingyan.
Little Cutie’s opponent is the fifth from the West District with quite strong abilities.
What about Shen Changqing?
Shen Changqing, hanging by a thread, ranked tenth in East District. However, his luck was poor; his opponent was the third from the South District, ’Mu Sheng Tea’, who seemed to be an S-level mental power expert.
It’s foreseeable that this battle won’t be easy for Shen Changqing.
...
What brought some schadenfreude to Ji You was Fu Feng from the East District, ranked second. This guy was truly unlucky, drawing against North District’s top, ’Bai Jiu’. Bai Jiu had been the hot favorite for the championship in this tournament, even more so than Little Shengsheng.
Fu Feng—
This poor sod~
Definitely a goner in the first round.
Ji You laughed somewhat unkindly.
Also—
Speaking of, Fu Feng and Liu Fufeng are just a letter apart. Could it be?
This thought popped into Ji You’s head but was immediately denied!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Liu Fufeng, with that fragile, easily toppled by a breeze demeanour, how could he possibly be powerful?
Besides, this is a tournament organized by the Alliance, Liu Fufeng is an Empire’s discarded crown prince, how could he possibly have schooling records from the Alliance’s side, let alone enroll here! Never heard such rumors before.
Speaking of which, Ji You couldn’t help but glance at Liu Fufeng, who still had a pale face, but was bowing his head, his fair and slender hands were folding something small and paper-like, vaguely resembling a human figure.
Hm?
"What are you doing?" Ji You asked curiously.
Liu Fufeng startled, hurriedly covered the small paper man: "Nothing... nothing."
At this time—
"It’s starting!"
"It’s starting!"
"Quiet! Quiet!"
...
Suddenly, the entire training field was so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Ji You also gathered her focus, deciding to carefully observe as every victor here could potentially be her next opponent—it was imperative to watch closely.
Then—
The first match was between Fu Feng and North District’s top, Bai Jiu.
