Chapter 697 Tournament (7)
Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile after seeing that Qiao Yi Fei had already hung up.
After standing there for a minute, he went into the store to make sure that Angela didn't kill Mo Ze Chen.
After all, they still needed him to win this tournament for them.
…
A few more days passed and it was finally time for the finals.
A day off had been given the day before the final matches to allow everyone to reach their peak state before the finals started.
Of course, that meant that it was another day of getting beaten for Mo Ze Chen.
When he showed up at the final round, Mo Ze Chen looked the same as he did when he went to the preliminaries. Mo Ze Chen's face was covered in bruises and one of his eyes had turned black.
It almost seemed like he wasn't in a state to fight if not for the energy that he had.
The staff members that saw him even asked him out of concern if he was alright before letting him enter the arena.
Mo Ze Chen just gave them a simple excuse before heading in.
Seeing that he didn't make a big deal over this, the staff members naturally couldn't say anything else, so they just dropped this matter.
Another hour passed before the drawing for the final stage was done.
This entire hour was dedicated to a show from the twelve great families. After all, they were the hosts for this tournament and if they didn't make a big show out of this to show off their might, there was no purpose in holding this tournament.
Unlike before, the people that had been allowed to watch the finals were all people with standing. There weren't any commoners here at all, these were all people that had some kind of influence in the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
They were the people that the twelve great factions wanted to show off their power to.
After all, there wasn't a single person who wasn't from the twelve great factions in these finals.
Once the opening ceremonies were over, they brought several experts from the twelve great factions on stage to do the drawings. These were naturally all famous experts since the twelve great factions wanted to show off their power, but there were also people who had other intentions that participated in the drawing.
As expected, the first opponent that Mo Ze Chen was matched up with was Ying Ling.
She was the cousin of Ying Jun, the favourite from the block that Mo Ze Chen had been placed in. The one that Mo Ze Chen had completely humiliated to make it to these finals.
The Ying Family clearly hadn't forgotten about this matter, so they must have manipulated these drawings to get these results.
Of course, it wasn't as if the other twelve great factions were completely unrelated to this.
They could see the tension between the Ying Family and the Hunters Organization forming because of this, so they had turned a blind eye to the Ying Family's manipulation. This would only help fuel the conflict between these two factions and among them, one faction fighting with another faction was something they could benefit from.
However, Mo Ze Chen wasn't worried at all because of this.
After the first match was over, it was Mo Ze Chen's turn.
When he came onto the stage, he was able to see Ying Ling for the first time.
There was no doubt that she was beautiful, in fact, if she lived in Harmony City, she would have definitely been considered one of the Six Flowers…wait, it would be Seven Flowers with her.
She had a perfect hourglass figure with just the right curves that weren't too big or small. She also had light purple hair that ran all the way down to her waist, along with a perfect face that seemed like it had been chiseled out of stone. But the most special thing about her were her eyes that glowed golden.
Just one look from those eyes was enough to penetrate someone to their soul.
Just a single look from those eyes would make one's heart beat fast without control.
But Mo Ze Chen wasn't moved since he already knew someone that was just as beautiful as her. In fact, Lulu was even more beautiful than her in his mind.
As well, he had also seen what Angela really looked like…
Normally Angela would use her life energy to create a cover over herself that would hide her true appearance, but since Lin Fan trusted Mo Ze Chen, she had shown her true self to him.
So when he looked at Ying Ling, it was almost like looking at a child…
Ying Ling could see the strange way that Mo Ze Chen looked at her and she slightly knitted her brows.
She felt a strange feeling that it was almost as if he was insulting her and there was an urge to hit him. However, that was the only feeling that she had.
She didn't care that Mo Ze Chen had knocked out Ying Jun and she didn't care about the revenge that her family was asking her to take.
After all, she didn't think that what Mo Ze Chen did was cowardly at all.
Her thoughts were completely different from everyone else's. Rather she was impressed by how effective his method was.
Even if he had been caught off guard, this was a wave of water that had been able to knock him off the stage completely. This must mean that the power in this wave of water wasn't weak.
Then based on how he had used this same wave of water to knock off all his other competitors, it was clear that this hadn't been a fluke.
The most likely scenario was that this Mo Ze Chen was hiding his true power for some reason.
When she had this thought, she had even become excited.
There were too many weak people around her and she never had any fun fighting people in the same generation as her, so she had always been looking for strong opponents. There was something about this Mo Ze Chen that gave her this feeling that he would be able to entertain her.
After the two of them got onto the stage, they looked at each other as they waited for the referee to start the match.
It was clear from the look in each other's eyes that they were sizing each other up.
As for the cheers from the crowd, it was clear who was the favourite. Almost the entire crowd was cheering for Ying Ling and there was a lot of jeering for Mo Ze Chen.
After what had happened in the previous round, he had received a new nickname.
Shameless King…
That was that name that he had received for his shameless behaviour.
There were also plenty of people who were cursing Mo Ze Chen because he had a chance to fight their goddess.
They cursed him, saying that if he even dared to touch a single hair on the head of their goddess, they would bury him in the ground.
Finally, after a minute of this silent showdown, the referee finally came forward to start the match. The only reason that they didn't start it sooner was to build up tension for this match.
As soon as the match started, neither of them made a move.
Normally this would be when Mo Ze Chen used his signature wave of water to knock his opponent off the stage.
But in these final matches, almost as if they wanted to prevent Mo Ze Chen from doing the same thing, the arena was much bigger compared to before.
There were also a few people in the crowd who were looking forward to Mo Ze Chen using his wave of water.
Even if he couldn't knock Ying Ling off the arena, it would still be good enough just getting her wet. If she got wet, they would have a chance to see a few things…
But neither Mo Ze Chen or Ying Ling acted as they had expected.
Ying Ling was the first one to break the silence as she said, "Why are you hiding your power?"
Mo Ze Chen was surprised by how direct she was with her words, but he remained calm as he asked, "What do you mean? Why would I hold back?"
Ying Ling looked at him with an understanding smile and said, "So it's not that you're holding back…It's just that they're too weak."
Naturally the crowd could hear what the two of them were saying, so when they heard Ying Ling's words, there were jeers that suddenly rang out and complaints that came from the crowd.
No one thought that Mo Ze Chen was more than he seemed, they all thought that he was just someone who had gotten to this final round through shameless methods. So of course, no one could accept what Ying Ling was saying.
Ying Jun, who had come today to see Mo Ze Chen being beaten, couldn't help revealing a bitter look when he heard Ying Ling's words.
"Cousin, can you not put it like that?"
Ying Ling ignored the crowd as she looked right at Mo Ze Chen and said, "You should use your real power now."
Mo Ze Chen didn't answer as he asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"
Ying Ling gave a shrug before saying, "If you don't use your real power now, you won't have a chance in the future."
