Chapter 205: Only One Match Short!

“It stopped?”

“There don’t seem to be any more martial artists.”

“Could the elimination rounds have ended?”

The ten martial artists in the Virtual Combat System were also a little baffled now, but perhaps some had already thought of the reason

“The elimination rounds have ended. The remaining ten martial artists have won. The rankings are determined by the winning streak.”

Then, the names of ten people appeared on the big screen, followed by the winning streak.

Griman: Winning streak of 92, ranked first in the elimination rounds!

Lin Feng: Winning streak of 91, ranked second in the elimination rounds!

Fu Lin: Winning streak of 81, ranked third in the elimination rounds!

Dardan: Winning streak of 78, ranked fourth in the elimination rounds!

Lin Xu: Winning streak of 76, ranked fifth in the elimination rounds!

Ouyang Jing: Winning streak of 74, ranked sixth in the elimination rounds!

Sialis: Winning streak of 72, ranked seventh in the elimination rounds!

Andor: Winning streak of 70, ranked eighth in the elimination rounds!

Liu Chengfeng: Winning streak of 69, ranked ninth in the elimination rounds!

Wang Yiming: Winning streak of 68, ranked tenth in the elimination rounds!

When the names of the top ten in the elimination round were listed, everyone’s gaze and all the cameras were focused on this ranking. At this moment, the names of these ten people instantly spread throughout the world.

The identities, backgrounds, and all the other information of these ten people would be investigated as soon as possible. This was what it meant to become famous overnight. There was no faster way to fame.

Whether these martial artists were willing to become famous or not, they could not change the fact that they were already world-renowned martial artists now.

Bai Xu clenched his fists tightly. He originally had a chance of making it into the top ten, but his efforts were in vain when he met Lin Feng.

Ralph was also very regretful. If he had met the eighth, ninth, and tenth martial artists instead of Griman, he might have been able to defeat them. Then, he would have been able to enter the top ten.

Unfortunately, there weren’t that many what-ifs.

Actually, the last three martial artists should be rejoicing. They were more or less lucky to be ranked in the top ten. In fact, some martial artists’ strength was not inferior to theirs. As for who was stronger, they would only know after fighting. However, their luck was obviously better, and they did not encounter opponents that were too powerful.

There was almost no secret in the information of the ten martial artists. They were all investigated thoroughly. However, the ones who received the most attention were Lin Feng and Griman. After all, Griman was a top genius of the previous generation and had always been very powerful. Meanwhile, Lin Feng was a new generation genius, and the greatest dark horse of this Martial Arts Competition. Naturally, he received the attention.

In reality, this ranking could also reflect strength to a certain extent. For example, Lin Feng and Griman were clearly a tier stronger than other martial artists. As for the third to tenth place, although there was some difference, all the differences were not very great.

As the elimination rounds ended, Lin Feng and the others also woke up from the Virtual Combat System. After the elimination rounds was the qualifying rounds. There was a break of one hour in between for the ten martial artists to adjust first.

However, during this period of time, the debate about who was stronger between Lin Feng and Griman had reached its climax.

Some people felt sorry for Lin Feng. They felt that if there were still martial artists remaining, Lin Feng would definitely be able to surpass Griman’s ranking in the end, and wouldn’t be just one match away.

However, there were also people who believed that Griman’s strength was not bad. If he had not met Ralph, he would not have been delayed for so long. Moreover, the focus of the two martial arts was different. Perhaps Lin Feng’s Void Bubble was very advantageous in the Virtual Combat System, so he defeated his opponents very quickly.

If he fought with Griman and Lin Feng’s Void Bubble failed, Lin Feng would be in danger.

Of course, this was only the opinion of some people. There were also some who felt that Lin Feng’s Void Bubble was very powerful. Up until now, no one had been able to test the limit of Lin Feng’s Void Bubble.

Lin Feng had never fought for more than five seconds against any opponent. This meant that Lin Feng’s strength far exceeded that of many martial artists, and was even on a different level from other martial artists.

Even Griman was definitely not Lin Feng’s match.

Both parties had their own rationales for arguing. Neither could convince the other. Not only were some Metamorphic Realm martial artists arguing, even some Divine Realm experts were arguing.

The Divine Realm experts naturally had higher standards. The focus of their arguments were also different.

“Hao Shiyi, between Lin Feng and Griman, who do you think is stronger?”

Xia Laogui also found it rather interesting and asked with a smile.

Hao Shiyi’s expression was solemn and somewhat uncertain.

“I know about Griman. His talent is indeed very strong. Back then, he was considered one of the Three Greats alongside Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen. However, Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen have both reached the Divine Realm. Not long ago, Dongfang Sheng even became a Meta-divine Realm expert. But why has Griman been unable to enter the Divine Realm for so long? It’s because he focuses too much on studying the power of martial arts. He cares too much about improving his combat strength, so much so that his mind is completely focused on studying martial arts and Astral Power.

“There are advantages and disadvantages to this. His studies in martial arts and Astral Power can almost make him invincible among his peers, and causes him to be intoxicated by this honor. Back then, in terms of combat power, Dongfang Sheng might not have been able to defeat Griman. But now? Once Lu Chen and Dongfang Sheng both entered the Divine Realm one after another, and the two parties were no longer on the same level, no matter how strong Griman is, how can he compare to the other two?

“Therefore, his martial path has already deviated. Even though he has already realized the problem over the years, it’s a little too late. Although it has become very difficult for Griman to enter the Divine Realm, his strength can be considered invincible among those of the same level. His years of studies in martial arts and Astral Power were definitely not in vain. It’s very difficult for Lin Feng to defeat him!”

Hao Shiyi’s analysis was very accurate. Even though Lin Feng was his protégé, he was actually not optimistic about Lin Feng’s results.

However, Xia Laogui said slyly, “Hao Shiyi, why don’t we make a bet? Heh, I think Lin Feng will definitely be able to defeat Griman. If you lose, agree to one condition of mine. If I lose, I’ll also agree to one condition of yours. How about that?”

Seeing how confident Xia Laogui was, Hao Shiyi could not help but ask, “Xia Laogui, do you think so highly of Lin Feng?”

“That’s right, I think so highly of Lin Feng. How about it? Dare you make a bet?”

“No! Xia Laogui, no matter who has the last laugh between Lin Feng and Griman, I won’t bet with you. Don’t even think about my bottle of treasure.”

“Ugh… Stingy.”

Xia Laogui shook his head helplessly. Hao Shiyi did not “take the bait”, so there was nothing he could do.

“Xia Laogui, seriously, have you figured out something?”

Hao Shiyi knew that Xia Laogui was actually very prudent. He must have figured out something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t make the bet so confidently.

“Hao Shiyi, you’re so stingy. I won’t tell you. Haha, take your time to guess.”

Xia Laogui also laughed out loud. He had indeed figured out something, but he refused to tell Hao Shiyi.
