Chapter 589 - The Contest of Admitting Defeat (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was a fact that 70 disciples walked out of the array formation, no matter how much suspicion Immortal Spirit Academy had, they could only grit their teeth and let the competition go on. Everyone somehow felt that this league was rather odd, too little people passed the qualifiers and too many passed the quarterfinals, anyway everything ended in a inexplicable manner.
The mechanism of the semifinal was very simple, it was nothing but battling in pairs, the winner advances, until the top three participants emerge. On top of that, the competition was to be conducted before an entire crowd, if anything happens, anyone would be able to spot it at once, there will be absolutely no more problem. Everyone thought so, at the start, the competition was indeed very normal too, until the one called Lonemoon went up…
Opponent one.
“Aiya! Elder brother has great cultivation, I am crude and untalented, indeed not your opponent, I admit defeat!”
Everyone: “…”
They had barely exchanged any blows? You admitted defeat way too quickly!
Opponent two.
“Aiya! Elder brother has superb sword techniques, I’m so ashamed that I am inferior, I have lost.”
Everyone: “…”
Hold on, he didn’t even used a sword? Where exactly did you make out that his sword techniques were superb?
Opponent three.
“Aiya! Elder brother’s Spirit Qi is so powerful, I can barely hold on, ah! I’ve lost!”
Everyone: “…”
Spirit Qi your ass, there was nothing on him at all alright?
Opponent four.
“Aiya! I see that elder brother has an imposing appearance, with advanced cultivation. You’re an exceptional man, rarely seen in this world, I am no match for you, I forfeit!”
Everyone: “…”
Did you come to compete or get your fortune told?
Opponent five said, “Aiya! My stomach suddenly hurts, I can’t compete anymore, just take it that I lost.”
Opponent six said, “Aiya, my chest suddenly hurts…”
Opponent seven: “Aiya, my head suddenly hurts…”
There was no exception, as long as they met the man called Lonemoon, his opponent will hurt somewhere for no rhyme or reason and automatically admitted defeat. Hence everyone could only watch on, dumbfounded as he advanced all the way and topped the league. An originally estimated three days of competition duration ended in a day with everyone continuously surrendering without battling. Lonemoon also became the first person to win the champion title without striking at all.
Immortal Spirit Academy: “…”
All the teachers: “…”
What the heck? This was way too casual! What kind of league was this, might as well call it the contest of admitting defeat!
“There is definitely something fishy about this!” A teacher really could not hold back anymore. “I absolutely will not acknowledge this champion, his sword did not even leave his sheath at all. It is virtually absurd that this person become the champion.”
“That’s right!” Another person also added. “What’s with all the disciples from these academies? Are they taking this league as child’s play? It must be redone! Otherwise, how could such a champion convince the public.”
