All of the re area It was much finer than the one froh prize in the first few rounds, now each of thehts A side table was also provided with fruit and drink
While contestants were enjoying their upgrade, the field outside was being adjusted for the rounds to cos Eventually it would be the whole field used as a ring, and that’s when the fights could get really spectacular The Teruard were ru their input
“So who’s ass do you think you’re kickin’ today,” Chu Cheng said He was draped over a nearby sofa
Lan Jue looked straight ahead “You,” he answered softly
Chu Cheng shook his head in disappointuy… how could your heart be so full of the lust for revenge, eh?”
Lan Jue pinned hi
Chu Cheng chuckled sheepishly “Alright, alright So IaI handed over that danac without a word of complaint, didn’t I? Anyway, I can’t co ladies suddenly so interested in who is Chu Cheng What do you say, huh? After I get eliirl to love, settle down But with the adoration of the crowds I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to deprive theainst the desires of the few, right? What do you think?”
Lan Jue gave him a thumbs up “You’re definitely a rare individual”
Chu Cheng lifted a brow “Am I?”
“Oh yeah,” Lan Jue assured “It’s almost impossible to find anyone else with their head any farther up their own ass”
Chu Cheng huffed indignantly “Watch your tone Big brother here will kick the shi+t out of you if we do getwas, of course, aware of Lan Jue’s drastic reduction in Talent
Lan Jue patted his head in irritation “Alright, hope you mean what you say”
Chu Cheng broke in to a sudden and easy sht? We’re brothers, not barbarians I do find h There are a whole lot of people hoping for h that toh, and Constantine I’ht, and there are a couple sleeping giants a us from the Conclave Be careful if you run in to the and people don’t know it yet” He delivered the last sentence with a serious stare
Lan Jue’s eyes inadvertently swept the waiting roo for these mysterious Adepts He spotted one, a tall man who looked like a copy of the Terminator His skin was a rich brown, bald, and with no outside evidence of mechanical assistance He was surrounded by a distinct aura of danger Frohts, this one’s Discipline was Force However, his Discipline was so strong that his Talent could affect the atmosphere around theainst hi before then
Lan Jue was h, someone who stood in stark contrast to the Hulkishwhite dress with a veil obscuring her features She was elegant and classically beautiful, all but for her eyes They were a myriad of colors, which were hard to see with her sh, they shone brilliantly with the full spectrum of the rainbow
Her earlier fights had been quite strange, and in fact many of her opponents weren’t even sure how they lost It would just… end Lan Jue had payed very close attention to her in the last few rounds Her weapon was a long shich she wielded with an alrace Her victories had all been easily – and erous like a succubus, and the only way he’d really understand her poas if he had to fight her He wasn’t in any rush to do so, but the longer her stayed in the running the more likely it became
The Avenue still had five co Lan Jue The Dark Citadel and the Pontiff’s Citadel had three each The North had a slight advantage, with six still in the running The re feere unaffiliated
“It’s about that tilance at his communicator
Chu Cheng didn’t answer His eyes were closed as he silently meditated Many of the other Adepts were likewise quiet as they tiht wasn’t under their control, but a result of fate or luck Who knew if the next fight would see glory or defeat? They couldn’t be sure, even the strongest of them They could only hope for the best
“Eliht This will be the final elimination round of the tourna will now commence”
Forty-eight enormous portraits appeared in the sky With so fe, details were far er needed to read help an to flit back and forth across the cloudless blue sky, arranging themselves just as they’d done seven tilued to the results Who would be their challenger? Where they going to be able to make it to the next one? A lot of that rested on those pictures overhead
Those like Constantine were anxious, too, because there did exist a chance that he’d have to face the Pharhters, the chances were small Noever, there existed the very real possibility that he’d have a stroke of bad luck Out of all the people staring up in that room, only the Pharmacist seemed completely at ease She held no stock in victory or defeat here, cared not for prizes or reputation Her single hope was that she wouldn’t have to face off against Lan Jue
Gradually the pictures stopped ’s face immediately darkened in despair
