In the viewing seats, the deafening cheers continued, and everyone looked at Xiao Xuan with hot eyes, both respectful and fearful.
Who would have thought that Xiao Xuan would have such a miraculous performance today?
You should know that historically, it has always been the chief of Tianyuan who was the first to be eliminated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they accompany the players. After pampering his fans, Xiao Xuan walked to Ruoxi's side and took the seat she had reserved for him long ago.
"It's finally over," Xian Xuan leaned back in the chair, feeling a little empty. At this moment, he was completely relaxed.
Ruo Xi unscrewed the bottle cap and handed him the water that had been prepared in advance. She also took out a wet tissue and silently wiped the sweat off him.
Xian Xuan took the water and gulped down a big mouthful, then said with satisfaction, "Your water tastes really good."
"Does water have different tastes?" Ruo Xi tilted her head, blinked her beautiful eyes, and looked puzzled.
Xian Xuan smiled wryly and said, "So, how did I perform just now?"
Ruo Xi blinked and said, "Is Brother Xian Xuan trying so hard to compete for the championship?"
Xian Xuan nodded, leaned back against the chair, looked up at the sky for a while, and said, "Actually, I am not very interested in this so-called championship."
"But," a bitter smile appeared on his lips, "when the burden on your shoulders gradually increases, if you don't move forward, others will push you to do so."
"The so-called lack of freedom is nothing more than this."
For him, only by becoming the champion would he have hope of becoming the deputy leader.
This might be his only opportunity to rise.
If he missed this chance, even if the master favored him in the future, he would probably at most climb slowly from the position of a leader.
Ruo Xi blinked her long eyelashes, as if she had cut a pool of autumn water.
"The next thing to prepare for is the semi-finals," Xian Xuan's head was starting to ache; it would be great if today was the semi-finals.
In that case, he would still have a month's time to prepare for the final match.
But now the semi-finals were in half a month, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he had to make a new deck and get ready for the semi-finals.
Even if he luckily made it through the semi-finals, there would only be a two-week time frame to prepare for the final match.
Time was too tight.
Xian Xuan shook his head, feeling a little suffocated. But he had chosen this path himself.
Ruo Xi smiled and said, "There will be a draw soon. What if I am your opponent in the semi-finals?"
Xian Xuan looked at her strangely and said, "Don't hesitate, come at me."
As the two chatted and laughed, Xian Xuan suddenly looked up and saw Qin Sheng sitting not far away, looking at him with a dark expression.
Xian Xuan smiled at him slightly, his smile shining like a summer flower.
Seeing this smug smile, Qin Sheng's expression became extremely ugly.
He had thought that today Jiang Linger would be able to stop Xian Xuan from entering the top four, but instead, she had made a name for this guy!
This guy was like an indomitable cockroach, so resilient!
"He's just getting into the top four, acting as if he won the championship!" Jiang Linger gritted her teeth, refusing to accept it.
She looked pitifully at Qin Sheng and said, "He's bullying me, you have to stand up for me."
Qin Sheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "Don't worry, if I meet him in the semi-finals, I'll teach him a lesson."
Jiang Linger nodded slightly, hugged his neck, and a hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Although she lost to Xian Xuan, in her eyes, she was just one move away from victory, and Xian Xuan only narrowly won.
Even though his displayed strength today was surprising, as long as he couldn't become the champion, there wouldn't be much impact.
After all, Qin Sheng was now a five-star card master, with full championship potential. Compared to him, what was Xian Xuan?
Thinking this way, she felt more at ease. When Xian Xuan was smiling and shining, she wondered if he could still smile when Qin Sheng stepped on him in the future.
At that time, his expression would surely be quite spectacular, right?
She really looked forward to it.
The competition continued, and although the subsequent matches were exciting, they couldn't compare to the first match.
After all, the first match between Jiang Linger and Xian Xuan was full of suspense, gripping, and full of climaxes. No one knew what would happen next.
As for Qin Sheng and A Youduo, they dominated their opponents and advanced to the top four.
Although it was unsurprising that they could advance to the top four, everyone was still shocked by the strength they displayed.
Mo Lingkong sighed and said calmly, "It seems that Xian Xuan won't have a chance to challenge me."
Ye Xuanying's mouth twitched. This guy was shameless.
The top four took the stage.
A Youduo gave a thumbs up to Xian Xuan and said, "Impressive."
Seeing Xian Xuan surrounded by A Youduo and Ruo Xi, Qin Sheng felt a little embarrassed. With the three of them together, he felt like an orphan.
Qi Jin looked at Liu Lianyi and said, "It's much more comfortable for you, from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, to enter the top four lying down."
Liu Lianyi glared at him and said, "The talent of my female disciple is not inferior to Xian Xuan. If she made a move, Jiang Linger would probably lose even faster."
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned to Ruo Xi in the center of the field, showing endless admiration and gentleness.
After watching for a while, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared on her delicate, beautiful face.
When she got to know Ruo Xi, she was always filled with doubt in her heart because, by intuition, she always felt that she had seen Ruo Xi somewhere before.
There seemed to be a hint of familiarity in her...
Feng Ye Bei walked up to the high platform at night and said with a smile, "Congratulations on reaching the top four."
"Next, let's start the draw."
A Yao Duo drew Qin Sheng.
Xiao Xuan drew Ruo Xi.
Xiao Xuan and Ruo Xi looked at each other, then couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really like inviting trouble.
After all, Ruo Xi was different from others.
When he fought with Jiang Linger, he had no distractions in his mind and only wanted to crush her.
But if the opponent was Ruo Xi, he felt somewhat hesitant, after all, she was his only female friend.
However, at this moment, Ruo Xi looked at Feng Ye Bei and said, "Military Advisor, I can't participate in the semi-finals."
"What?" Feng Ye Bei was slightly stunned.
Ruo Xi looked at him earnestly and said seriously, "Three days ago, I was unfortunately injured by a star beast in the Star Beast Domain, and I cannot recover in a short time. The semi-finals are imminent, after much thought, I can only give up."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Many Star Card Masters looked at Ruo Xi in disbelief. They had all made it to the top four, and she was actually planning to give up like this?
Isn't this too much?
Xiao Xuan was stunned. He looked at Ruo Xi in disbelief, but saw her wink at him.
"This..." Feng Ye Bei hesitated a bit. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, so he turned around and looked at Liu Lianyi.
However, Liu Lianyi nodded slightly and smiled lightly, as if she was not surprised by this situation at all.
Once again, everyone was amazed. Was her heart that big?
Liu Lianyi fiddled with the jade bracelet in her palm, her mind going back to three days ago when a little girl shyly approached her and mustered the courage to ask her if she would agree to her request.
"Why do you want to give up?"
"Because I want him to have enough time to prepare for the final."
"What if I disagree?"
"Ruo Xi listens to her master for everything."
This scene made her feel complicated and slightly touched, as if she had seen her own shadow.
In addition, being neutral in the Star Cloud Legion's factional struggles, she didn't have much attachment to the so-called championship, so she agreed out of a moment of weakness.
Jiang Qingyan frowned and said, "Giving up without authorization, doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules, right?"
Qi Jin coldly said, "If your daughter was seriously injured and didn't want to compete, would you use 'not in accordance with the rules' as a reason to force her to compete?"
Jiang Qingyan was speechless for a moment.
"In that case, let her take a good rest." Yan Wangqing said lightly. She looked at Liu Lianyi and said, "Let her recuperate well, if she lacks any resources, she can come to me."
Liu Lianyi smiled, what she wanted, you probably couldn't give her.
Feng Ye Bei thought for a moment, then lightly coughed and calmly said, "In that case, I announce that Xiao Xuan advanced to the final!"
Qin Sheng: ...
Jiang Linger: ???
Su Ming and Gong Wu looked at each other. They were entering the final?
Yongyi's mouth twitched, this guy, why was his luck so good?
Feng Ye Bei smiled and said, "In fact, as early as the assessment of the new army, we had seen Xiao Xuan's potential, but at that time, he still looked immature."
"Now, after months of training, we have had the honor to witness him becoming the first, advancing to the top four, and now... let us congratulate them for reaching the top four, and at the same time congratulate Xiao Xuan for entering the final!"
The venue suddenly rained down with colorful ribbons, like a rainbow shower.
Exciting music played, and the fans began to cheer, and the atmosphere at the venue reached a peak in an instant.
Qin Sheng's face darkened, standing beside Xiao Xuan, feeling somewhat awkward.
Originally, these ribbons, music, and the fans' celebration should have been for the four of them.
Now that Xiao Xuan had advanced early, it seemed as if everyone was celebrating for him, while he became a foil!
He forced out a smile, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Xiao's luck as the top has been really good."
Xiao Xuan patted his shoulder and in an elder's tone said, "Don't be sad, I believe that with some effort, you also have hope of entering the final."
"Come on, I look forward to you being eligible to stand in front of me at the final."
"You know, I have always had high hopes for you~"
Qin Sheng:...
