C1534 Confronting Situation

"Eunuch He, then how is Hogg's strength? Compared to Lin Guanghan, who's stronger?" The emperor, Wu Xuanran, said to the Eunuch He beside him after thinking for a while.

After a moment of silence, the Eunuch He said, "If it was before, Hogg would definitely not be able to compare to Lin Guanghan, but during this past year, Hogg's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. I don't know who's stronger, or who's weaker."

"Is that so?" Wu Xuanran frowned again. He wanted to cancel Hogg's qualification, but he felt that something was wrong. Because if this happened, he, the emperor, would definitely be denounced by the people of the Wu.

Forget it, with Lin Guanghan's strength, he should be able to beat Hogg no matter what. Thinking about it this way, he finally made a decision and said to Eunuch He, "Eunuch He, there's no need to cancel it."

"Yes." Eunuch He immediately nodded.

"Eunuch He, tell them to rest for a while before the competition begins." Wu Xuanran said again.

Eunuch He immediately passed down the order to Wu Xuanran.

Below the stage, taking advantage of the time that they were resting, Lin Long sized up the other few people, and after his gaze swept past the people, he focused on the body of a young man. There was no one beside the young man, and his face looked ordinary, but there was a sinister look mixed within.

What shocked Lin Long the most was that even with his strong spiritual will, he was unable to perceive just how strong this person was. It was likely that this person had the same ability as him to conceal his own aura.

Although he could not sense this person's strength, Lin Long had a faint feeling that this person's strength was probably above Lin Guanghan's.

After secretly memorizing the other party, Lin Long started to size up the others. The second thing that caught his attention was Hogg.

This person isn't weak either. However, no matter how I look at him, he shouldn't be stronger than that young man from before.

After a while, the second day of the competition officially began.

He didn't choose his opponent by throwing the iron ball like before, but instead used the method of drawing lots.

The person drawing the lots this time was the Eunuch He beside the Emperor, so naturally, no one doubted the fairness of the drawing of lots.

Reaching out his hand to touch the black chest in front of him, Eunuch He took out a jade scroll and took it out.

"The first one to be drawn was Hogg." A eunuch standing beside Eunuch He shouted.

Then, Eunuch He reached his hand into the black box.

"I wonder who the second one will be."

"Although this Hogg looks very old, he isn't weak. Whoever attacks him will be hard to deal with."

The crowd began to discuss among themselves.

According to the rules just announced, the second person to be selected would be Hogg's opponent.

Amidst everyone's discussion, Eunuch He took out another jade slip.

Once he erected the jade slip, everyone saw the three words "Lin Guanghan" written on it.

"It's actually Lin Guanghan!"

"If someone else were to meet Hogg, they would definitely be a bit afraid, but Young Master Lin is different. With his strength, how could Hogg possibly be a match for him?"

"That's hard to say. After all, this Hogg is a newcomer. No one knows much about his strength, so it's not certain that Lin Shao will fail miserably."

Seeing that it was Lin Guanghan, the people below the stage started to discuss with each other.

Wu Xuanran, who was in front of the palace, could not help but reveal a look of surprise. He had previously made the Eunuch He compare their strength, but who would have thought that the two of them would meet so quickly.

This way is also good. This young master will let you know that you are a toad that wants to eat the flesh of a swan. On the other side, Lin Guanghan immediately looked towards Hogg with a cold and stern expression.

What he didn't expect was that Hogg was extremely calm, and his face didn't change at all.

"Now, Eunuch He, please continue to draw your jade chip." Hearing the eunuch's voice, Eunuch He once again reached his hand into the black box.

This action made everyone stop their discussions, they all focused on Eunuch He's hands once again.

Very quickly, Eunuch He took out another jade slip. Once the jade slip was erected, everyone saw the two words "Tang Li" on it.

He did not know who his opponent was, but when he saw the words on the jade slip, Seventh Princess had such a thought.

Under everyone's gaze, Eunuch He once again reached his hand into the black box, and a moment later, he fished out another jade slip.

This time, there were three words written on the jade slip, "Luo Daoran."

Upon seeing this name, many people who hoped that Lin Long would meet with trouble immediately shook their heads, because Luo Daoran's strength was not very good. It could be said that he was lucky before to be able to fight his way into the top eight.

"This kid's luck is really good. He's completely guaranteed to enter the top four." Many people immediately sighed.

That's fine too, if I, Lin Guanghan meet you in the top four later, I will teach you a lesson! Not far away, Lin Guanghan, who was staring fixedly at Lin Long, said coldly in his heart.

And the Seventh Princess, seeing this situation, naturally revealed a smile on her face.

Very quickly, Eunuch He reached into the black box again. Not long after, he took out a jade slip with the three words "Su Fenghua" written on it.

He didn't know who Su Fenghua's opponent was, but after seeing these three words, such a thought immediately flashed through Lin Long's mind.

Very quickly, there was an answer, because on the next jade slip Eunuch He drew out, the word "Song Zhou" was written on it.

At first, Lin Long did not know who Song Zhou was. It was only after a while that he realized that Song Zhou was the young man he did not sense his true strength from before.

If Su Fenghua was facing this youth, then there was no possibility of winning at all, Lin Long decided in his heart.

Of the eight people, six of them had already been selected. The remaining two didn't even need to draw, they were already their opponents.

"Alright, let's begin the first round. Young Masters Lin Guanghan and Hogg, please come onto the stage." Then, the Eunuch He said.

With that, he flew towards the martial stage, and in the blink of an eye, he landed firmly on the stage. It was clear that he was the judge for this match.

Eunuch He obviously had Level 5 Warrior, so as the referee, no one would object.

After Eunuch He stood on the stage, Lin Guanghan and Hogg also jumped onto the stage.

"Lin Gongzi, please." In front of Lin Guanghan, Hogg cupped his hands and said.

Lin Guanghan also cupped his hands confidently and casually.

Although he looked down on Hogg, in front of everyone, especially the emperor and the Seventh Princess, he naturally had to maintain his composure.

After that, Hogg immediately began to unleash his own energy.

"Mountain Splitting Palm!"

After this loud shout, he suddenly struck out with his palm towards Lin Guanghan.

At the same time, Lin Guanghan's face revealed a look of shock, because the opponent's palm was obviously not weak, so how could Lin Guanghan dare to be careless, he immediately threw a punch out.

"Bam!"

Qi-Storing, the two of them were both retreating a few steps. However, seeing that the two of them were only probing and did not reveal their true strength, no one felt that something was amiss.

In the next moment, Hogg struck out with another Mountain Splitting Palm. This time, the palm strike was clearly much stronger than before.

It seemed like Hogg was going to reveal his true abilities. Such a thought flashed across everyone's mind.

Since it's like that, let me show you my strength! Lin Guanghan's mouth formed a ridiculing smile, and then he punched out again.

His punch was also much stronger than before.

"Bam!"

The Qi-Storing once again released such a muffled sound, and then, a person directly retreated dozens of steps. It was Hogg, but as for Lin Guanghan, he had only taken two steps back, it was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.

"It seems like Young Master Lin is still a bit stronger."

"Young Master Lin still has yet to use his fire-attribute cultivation technique. If he were to use a fire-attribute martial skill, Hogg would be even more vulnerable."

"That's not necessarily true. What if Hogg has some sort of trump card?" Someone asked doubtfully.

"What sort of trump card does he have? I saw yesterday, his strongest was only this Mountain Splitting Palm, and now that his Mountain Splitting Palm is at a disadvantage, how could he possibly be Young Master Lin's match."

"If that's the case, then he's definitely going to lose!"

Hearing such discussions, Lin Guanghan who was on the stage had a complacent look on his face.

He didn't pursue and attack, instead looking at Hogg in front of him with a satisfied look on his face.

Hogg was still standing there with a calm look on his face, which came as a surprise to many.

In the next moment, he roared furiously yet again, and smashed his palm towards Lin Guanghan yet again. But this time, the moment his fist power was released, the expressions on everyone's faces immediately changed, because they discovered that there was actually lightning constantly flashing on Hogg's body.

"Heavens, this Hogg actually has a lightning-attribute cultivation technique!"

After seeing what had happened, everyone immediately cried out in alarm.

"What? Lightning attribute cultivation technique?" Those who did not know that it was a lightning attribute cultivation technique were also shocked.

Even Emperor Wu Xuanran and the rest of the Rankers were staring at Hogg with widened eyes.

The reason they were shocked was that lightning attributed techniques were simply too rare. In such a large Wu, only a handful of people possessed lightning attributed techniques or martial skills.

Now that they saw that Hogg actually had a lightning-attribute cultivation technique, how could they not be surprised?

Lin Guanghan, who was standing in front of Hogg, had a similar look of surprise on his face. However, at this time, he held his breath.

Immediately, he sent another punch out. This time, he did not dare hide anything and directly released all of his energy. Light yellow flames continued to burn on his fist.

"Bam!"

The Qi-Storing released such an explosive sound, and after that, the two of them retreated with thump thump thump. It seemed like they had reached a stalemate.

"I really didn't expect that Hogg would have such a lightning-attribute cultivation technique!"

"The two of them actually fought to a draw, this is really surprising!"

"With the current situation, I wonder who will win and who will lose?"

"I thought Young Master Lin would definitely get first place, but the situation has changed!"

For a time, everyone was discussing amongst themselves.

Amidst these discussions, the two people on the stage once again activated the energy within their bodies. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.2

Who would lose? Seeing this, everyone immediately quieted down, and everyone's gaze once again gathered on the two of them.
