Chapter 94: The Champion's Decision, Who's For and Who's Against?

Chapter 94: The Champion's Decision, Who's For and Who's Against?



In the spectator stands, a loud cheer erupted from the demon race section.

The monster area remained unmoved.

Meanwhile, the human section was filled with low morale...

The previous battle involving Song Haitang had a significant impact.

Everyone acknowledged her as the top freshman.

Now, with her defeat at the hands of Tri-Eye, the human side's morale took an indirect hit.

This made everyone feel that in this Combat Spirit Realm competition, the humans might be destined to miss out on the championship title! Especially since even the strongest among them had lost.

Tri-Eye was there.

Who else could possibly win?

Although Song Haitang's defeat dampened human morale, no one blamed her.

After all, they weren't blind! That Tri-Eye was incredibly powerful, with an uncanny ability that even rendered him immune to flame attacks.

Song Haitang was completely countered.

Continuing the fight would only be a futile display of strength, leading to certain death.

It was better to surrender and preserve her life.

...

"Haitang, how are you?" Zhao Zheng asked, his face turning pale as he looked at Song Haitang's bloody shoulder.

At this moment, he was seething with anger!

If he encountered Tri-Eye on the arena later, he would give it his all and instantly defeat him, not giving the opponent any chance to surrender.

"I'm fine," Song Haitang replied with a sweet smile, noticing Zhao Zheng's concerned expression. "It's just a superficial wound. Once we leave the Spirit Realm, it will heal."

This was the Amnesia Spirit Realm.

As long as they survived, even the most severe injuries would recover.

Zhao Zheng was aware of this, but...

He was still furious! If Song Haitang hadn't been quick-witted and dodged in time, he would have lost her.

"It's good that you're okay. Take a seat and rest for a while. I'll help you with your wound once we're in the rest area," Zhao Zheng said.

Song Haitang nodded. "Alright, it's up to you now."

"Don't worry, I've got this!"

Hearing his confident words, the girl smiled.

After their conversation, the others approached to show their concern.

...

Moments later, it was Zhao Zheng's turn to take the stage.

His opponent was the Crocodile Beastman, the same one who had eliminated Chen Kai.

Zhao Zheng, filled with rage, sought an outlet, but when he stepped onto the platform, he didn't reveal his full strength.

He seized the opportunity, grabbed the beastman's tail, and using his raw strength, threw the Crocodile Beastman out of the arena, securing victory!

This guy was cunning!

He deliberately put on a show of brute force to deceive the other contestants, mainly to confuse Tri-Eye.

As Zhao Zheng returned victorious, he instantly garnered admiring glances from the crowd.

Only Chen Kai, observing Zhao Zheng, seemed deep in thought.

Having faced the Crocodile Beastman, Chen Kai knew firsthand how astonishing its strength was.

He never imagined that Zhao Zheng could surpass it in raw power.

Just how powerful was Zhao Zheng's strength attribute?

...

Two hours later, the tenth and final round of eliminations concluded.

A total of 4,779 contestants advanced to the next stage!

Song Haitang's team was down to its last member, Zhao Zheng.

Even the strongest, Song Haitang, had been eliminated...

The other teams were in a similar dire state.

With the eliminations over, the finals were next.

However, the Spirit Realm showed mercy, granting a ten-hour break, allowing contestants to rest and recharge.

This ensured they'd be in peak condition for the finals!

As the teleportation channel appeared, everyone entered.

After such a long period without proper rest, fatigue had already set in.

Upon reaching the dining hall, Zhao Zheng instructed his teammates to eat first while he escorted Song Haitang to the rest area.

There, they found basic medical supplies to temporarily treat Song Haitang's wound.

"Song, can you take off your clothes? I need to clean and dress your wound properly."

At these words, Song Haitang's face turned bright red.

However, she obediently removed her outerwear, leaving only her underwear.

Hiss! Zhao Zheng gasped in surprise.

He couldn't believe that beneath her cold exterior, this girl had such a stunning figure!

Her smooth skin, flat stomach, and slender waist without an ounce of excess fat were truly captivating.

...

It took a full hour.

Only then did Zhao Zheng finish dressing Song Haitang's wound.

Those who didn't know might have thought Song Haitang's injury was much worse, requiring such a lengthy treatment...

Afterward, the two joined Jiang Hebin and the others in the dining hall.

Once everyone was well-fed, they gathered in the rest area to discuss their next plan.

Seeing the dejected expressions on their faces, Zhao Zheng scoffed, "What's wrong? Are you giving up already? Don't you want to win the championship?"

His words left everyone stunned.

Wang Fei spoke up, puzzled, "Big Zhao, you're the only one left who hasn't been eliminated, and we're already in the finals. How can we win the championship now? Is there another way to make a comeback?"

"Of course there is!" Zhao Zheng affirmed.

The others were taken aback.

Jiang Hebin had a thought and asked hesitantly, "Big Zhao, you're not thinking of becoming the champion, are you?"

"What? Is that a problem?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.

Wang Fei and the others exchanged glances.

Even with his simple intellect, they knew how risky it was to become the champion—facing challenges from all the participants!

If Zhao Zheng were to do this, it would be like asking for trouble in their eyes.

"Big Zhao, calm down!" Shen Nanana quickly interjected. "Being the champion is too dangerous. Even with your impressive strength, it's impossible to hold out against all the challengers."

"Yeah! Big Zhao, the champion has to face challenges from every participant. It's an impossible task."

"Big Zhao, don't be impulsive. One loss doesn't mean anything. If necessary, we can fight again in the Fourth Spirit Realm. With your and Haitang's strength, getting another SSS-Rank Task Evaluation isn't that difficult."

Everyone tried to dissuade him.

Becoming the champion was just too crazy of an idea.

Seeing their reactions, Zhao Zheng's face darkened as he coldly humphed, "You don't trust me? Or are you afraid I'll lose and wipe out our team's points?"

"That's not what we meant..." Jiang Hebin quickly explained, "These points were earned by you and Haitang. If they're wiped out, they're wiped out. We're just worried about you getting into an accident and not being able to return..."

Suddenly, Chen Kai spoke up, "Big Zhao, I support you!"

Actually, Chen Kai and Jiang Hebin were older than Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang.

They addressed Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang as "brother" and "sister" out of respect for their impressive performances.

Hearing Chen Kai's words, everyone was surprised.

"Oh? Little Kai, you support me?" Zhao Zheng laughed.

"Yes!"

Chen Kai didn't mind Zhao Zheng's nickname for him and explained, "Before coming to the Third Spirit Realm, I did some testing. I'm well aware of my current strength and how much damage I can endure."

"When I was hit by that crocodile monster's tail, based on my analysis, its strength attribute was at least over 800 points."

"And Big Zhao, you managed to grab its tail and throw it out of the arena."

At this point, Chen Kai turned to Zhao Zheng and asked, "Big Zhao, has your strength attribute surpassed 1000 points?"

"Not bad, Little Kai!"

Zhao Zheng chuckled and nodded in confirmation, "That's right!"

Everyone was shocked beyond words!
