Chapter 255: You Win!
Meanwhile, in the inner city of East City
The street in the inner city packed up as many people went to one direction, They were going to the Colosseum as today was the final of the second Ascension Tournament.
After a long elimination, the two people would fight in the final battle of the second Ascension Tournament, but before the final fight, there would a fight for the third position between Ye Shaoyang from Dragon Dynasty and Wang Soo-Yeon from New Korea.
This was one reason many people came earlier and the reasons of many people watched the final day of the second Ascension Tournament. The ranking seven of the Level Ranking Ye Shaoyang and the ranking four of the Level ranking Wang Soo-Yeon.
Ye Shaoyang defeated Akihiro Tanabe from Happy Guild and advanced to the semifinal, but Zhen Yi defeated him in the semi-final. Meanwhile, Zhen Yi advanced to the semi-final after defeating Hideki Kyou from Eternal Shogunate, the ranking eighth in the Level Ranking and defeated Ye Shaoyang before advancing to Final.
Wang Soo-Yeon defeated Ryou Tokugawa before advanced to the semi-final, but lost to the underdog finalist, Lu Man Tian from the Sky Sect.
Yes, Lu Man Tian was the underdog which no one expected for him to advance to final. Not only he defeated the mysterious Wang Soo-Yeon but also he defeated the number two in Dragon Dynasty, Tang Ren.
Lu Man Tian held no ranking in the top 20 Level Ranking but defeated many rankers. This was another reason made many people very enthusiastic in the final day of the second Ascension Tournament.
It was almost the same as the first Ascension Tournament where the underdog became the champion. Of course, at that time the people had a thought, Randy was a weakling because he was missing for three months which led the people's thought he was a coward.
But different from Randy, Lu Man Tian held no ranking in the top 20 Level Ranking, his level was unknown. The rumor which said Sky Sect was weakling after being trampled by Randy washed away because of the Lu Man Tian's appearance in the second of Ascension Tournament.
Zhen Yi who made her way to final with his absolute strength which devastated many rankers while Lu Man Tian the underdog which swept away every ranker he faced. The two would meet in the final battle of the Second Ascension Tournament.
But there was an unpleasant rumor about Lu Man Tian circulated on East City. It said Lu Man Tian was lecherous and also a rapist. There were many cases Lu Man Tian would ambush the couple who hunted in his territory and did the woman in front of his man.
Of course, the rumor was circulating in the forum at first, but later it spread from the mouth to mouth. But rumors were just a rumor, they never knew the truth as the forum could not be believed.
It might be the Sky Sect hostile guild which created the false rumors about Lu Man Tian "bad deed".
Many people converged at the main Colosseum even an hour before the duel for the third position started. Meanwhile, the big guild had taken their seat in the highest seat of the main Colosseum third floor.
As the people converged, many people directed their eyes at Happy Guild's seat. There was a bad rumor spread among the East City's resident. Happy Guild's leader, Randy Christian had encountered misfortune which made him could not raise his level anymore.
It was clear East City's resident noticed Randy's level stagnant at the level 97 and the ranking two and ranking three started to catch up. Zhen Yi was level 92 and Long Tianyu was level 90, but Randy's level stagnant at level 97.
After that, the post about Randy had encountered misfortune appeared in the forum. After the post appeared, many rumors about Randy appeared.
It said Randy had become disabled which made him could not hunt anymore and there was no potion could not heal Randy's injury, that was why his level had not increased.
There was another rumor, it said Randy had become arrogant, he was waiting for Long Tianyu to catch up before he started leveling up crazily again.
There was also even more ridiculous rumor, it said Happy Guild had become part of Dragon Dynasty with Long Xinya in Happy Guild and Dragon Dynasty trapped Randy. Also, it said Zhen Yi was an accomplice in this scheme.
It said also Randy had gone missing and could not come back with the proof that Randy didn't watch Zhen Yi's duel in the second Ascension Tournament.
That was why many people looked at the Happy Guild's seat to confirm the rumors, but most likely the rumors were true as Randy didn't come again today, the final of the second Ascension Tournament.
Various kinds of rumors spread about the missing Randy, but Happy Guild which had not given confirmation increasingly making the East City's resident believed the rumor.
Zhen Yi and Long Xinya were the one leading Happy Guild accompanied with Udin, Gusti, Akihiro, and Asuka. They didn't care about the gaze of every people which directed at them.
Despite maintaining a cold look, there was a trace of sadness and worried in her eyes. The only way to shake her thought was to hunt beast and monster which made her leveling speed became frightening.
Long Xinya also helpless about her best friend, she had no more way to comfort her best friend.
An hour passed and the third place duel started, Wang Soo-Yeon versus Ye Shaoyang. Long Tianyu who had never watched the progress of the tournament also came to watch the fight.
The onlookers thought Long Tianyu had come was to watch Ye Shaoyang, but they were wrong. Long Tianyu had come was to watch Zhen Yi, he never paid his attention to the fight.
The fierce fight for the third position lasted for two hours before finally, Wang "Phantom" Soo-Yeon defeated Ye Shaoyang with his ultimate move, Phantom Strike.
Because this move, Wang Soo-Yeon gained a nickname Phantom. It was skill granted a flash of movement in shadow form which could move in flash for with range 20 meters.
When Wang Soo-Yeon defeated Ye Shaoyang, the whole Colosseum burst into cheer as they onlookers clapped their hand. New Korea guild had a good reputation in East City's residents and Wang Soo-Yeon, the handsome man in his early thirty was popular in East City.
If the celebrities on earth were relying on the voice and acting skill, then the current celebrity was for the people who were good at fighting. Wang Soo-Yeon could be said was one of the popular celebrities in East City.
The gentleman Wang Soo-Yeon helped Ye Shaoyang stood up, and they shook their hand afterward. The fierce duel for the third position ended with a good and peaceful.
After that, the two stepped down from the huge arena and the cheer died down. 15 minutes before the final started before the champion of the second Ascension Tournament emerged.
15 minutes passed and two figures came up to the huge arena, but all eyes focused at the woman with black hair and silver armor with a blue spear exuded cold aura.
Zhen Yi appeared with a cold and expressionless look as she climbed up to the arena. If Wang Soo-Yeon was one of the popular celebrities in East City, then Zhen Yi was one of the most popular celebrities.
Zhen Yi walked with her black long hair fluttered, the captivating obsidian eyes, and her attractive face, attracting the onlookers in the Colosseum. The woman who caused the conflict between Happy Guild and Dragon Dynasty.
Lu Man Tian also dazed as he looked at Zhen Yi and his eyes glistening with lust but he concealed it immediately.
After the two came up, the referee also came up and stood between the two. The referee looked at Zhen Yi and she nodded her head at the referee. When the referee looked at Lu Man Tian, he shook his head before directed his eyes at Zhen Yi.
Lu Man Tian was in his the mid twenty. He had long hair, with a handsome look. If Wang Soo-Yeon was the handsome gentleman, then Lu Man Tian was handsome but with a wild vibe.
He was wearing a bright red armor with two sabers on his back; he had a leisurely smile on his face.
"Hehe, isn't this our East City beautiful flower, Zhen Yi. But what a pity this beautiful flower planted in a cow dung," Lu Man Tian still had his leisurely smile on his face as exuded high confidence.
Zhen Yi frowned after hearing Lu Man Tian's words, she narrowed her eyes as her eyes became increasingly colder, sending a chill to Lu Man Tian's spine.
But despite being stared by Zhen Yi's cold eyes, Lu Man Tian became even bolder, "Fortunately the cow dong has gone missing"
Before Lu Man Tian finished his words, Zhen Yi raised her right hand, interrupting Lu Man Tian, "I want a death match!"
Uwaaaa!
The onlookers surprised when they heard Zhen Yi proposed a death match. There was no deathmatch happened in the second Ascension Tournament, the second Ascension Tournament less bloody than the first one.
But now suddenly Zhen Yi proposed a death match. Even though they could hear Zhen Yi proposed a death match, but they could not hear what the two talked about until escalated to a death match.
Even Lu Man Tian's mouth twitched a little after hearing that, he felt being intimidated a little as he heard Randy proposed a deathmatch, but with his secret, he believed he could win with ease. He had a secret which would bring him to the champion.
Lu Man Tian rejected Zhen Yi as he appeared like a gentleman who didn't want to kill a woman, but deep inside him, he was cursing Zhen Yi, 'Just you wait, bitch! Wait for my Sky Sect come to Jakarta and trample Evergreen City you're proud of. We will see what fate you would experience at that time,'
Hearing Lu Man Tian rejected the deathmatch, the referee started the match. Actually, he had many words he wanted to say, but he could not continue after hearing Zhen Yi proposed a death match.
Lu Man Tian still had his leisurely smile on his face, he had high confidence to defeat Zhen Yi. His confidence was a bit shaken though after hearing the proposed a death match from Zhen Yi's mouth, but when he remembered his secret, his confidence boosted up.
His secret was his hidden stat, Insight. Yes, Insight had given him a superb ability. With Insight, he could read every his opponent's next move. Of course, there was a certain a condition to be met to make his Insight worked, but he had fulfilled that condition.
After referee made a gesture, Zhen Yi immediately rushed with a swift speed as she thrust her spear at him.
Lu Man Tian could see the incoming attack even before the match start, he had been prepared for this. But there was one thing which shocked him. Although he knew where the attack would come, he could not dodge the incoming attack but could only block the incoming attack.
Zhen Yi's blue spear was like a snake, dancing in the air as kept aiming at Lu Man Tian.
Exclamation after exclamation could be heard from the spectator's seat as Zhen Yi's spear cornered the underdog Lu Man Tian.
Soon, Lu Man Tian found a trouble after blocking every attack from Zhen Yi. It was that his movement became rigid; he felt his hands were freezing. The more he blocked Zhen Yi's attack, the coldness spread over his body, and his body also started freezing.
As his body started to freeze, Lu Man Tian failed to block the next incoming attack with his rigid movement, and Zhen Yi's spear hit Lu Man Tian's right shoulder.
Agh!!
Zhen Yi's spear pierced Lu Man Tian's shoulder and blood flowed down. Lu Man Tian let out a pained growl.
Zhen Yi didn't stop her attack, a kick aimed at Lu Man Tian's face.
Bam!
Lu Man Tian flew five meters back and blood flowed from his nose. Just as Lu Man Tian wanted to get up, Zhen Yi was already in the air with her spear aimed at Lu Man Tian's head, She wanted to kill Lu Man Tian.
But suddenly a shadow appeared before Lu Man Tian, blocking Zhen Yi's spear.
Clang!
The referee blocked Zhen Yi's spear and spoke in a flat tone, "You win!"
Lu Man Tian looked at Zhen Yi fearfully. Despite having a hidden stat which could see every Zhen Yi's movement, but finally, he still lost before Zhen Yi's absolute stat.
