Chapter 838 - 838 Will He Lose?
838 Will He Lose?
After a consecutive week of competition, the first eight rounds of the Orion Arm Martial Arts Alliance Competition, which received the attention of the entire Milky Way, had already ended.
After these eight rounds of competition, only 64 participants were left in the arena.
To be able to stand out from the top students of the various countries in the Orion Arm, the participating students who remained until now were all first-rate young genius martial artists. Naturally, every one of them would attract extremely widespread attention.
Among the remaining 64 participating students, most of them were geniuses who were extremely famous in their respective countries and even had some reputation in the entire Orion Arm. Only a few were dark horses that had appeared in this competition.
Among them, Chu Nan from the Earth Federation was undoubtedly the most promising dark horse.
Ever since the Earth Federation stepped into the interstellar civilization more than 700 years ago and began to be invited to participate in the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition more than 200 years ago, they had already participated in 39 times. However, their performance in every competition was unknown. The highest record was only passing the fourth round. Of course, they could not attract the attention of anyone other than the Earth Federation.
Now that Chu Nan had suddenly appeared and broken through the first eight rounds in a row to enter the top 64, it naturally attracted special attention.
However, because of Chu Nan’s performance in the first eight rounds, most people were no longer concerned about whether he was strong or not, but about how strong he was.
Now that Chu Nan had finally encountered a powerful enemy from the Tulado Republic in the ninth round of the competition, compared to the other 31 competitions that were being held at the same time, there were clearly more people paying attention to Chu Nan and Selemo’s competition.
Everyone wanted to see if Chu Nan, this dark horse, could really be black until the end or if he would be washed white in this round.
In the media audience of the competition, almost all the reporters from all the countries in the Orion Arm were gathered.
The largest group was not reporters from the Earth Federation or the Tulado Republic, but reporters from the United States of Melaita.
What was strange was that although there were clearly no participating students from the United States of Melaita in this competition, their expressions were extremely nervous. It seemed that they were paying much more attention to this competition than the reporters from the Tulado Republic beside them. Only the reporters from the Earth Federation on the other side could be compared.
Among all the reporters, a slender and beautiful young female reporter from the Earth Federation occupied an empty seat alone. Although the media audience was crowded, everyone else tacitly gave up the seat beside her as if they did not dare to approach her.
The reporters of the United States of Melaita who were nervously watching the battle would occasionally turn around and steal a glance at her. Their expressions were nervous, but there was also a trace of excitement and anticipation. They looked extremely strange.
To outsiders, this strange situation was very strange, but if it fell into the hands of those who had paid attention to this competition and seen the media reports a few days ago, they knew very well.
This was because this female reporter was Yang Xirui.
The bet between Yang Xirui and the group of reporters from the United States of Melaita six days ago spread throughout the entire Milky Way Network overnight. Countless people knew that this beautiful female reporter from the Earth Federation and the group of reporters from the United States of Melaita were betting on whether Chu Nan could enter the finals of this competition.
According to the rules of the competition, 32 participating students would enter the finals and draw lots again.
Today’s round was the round of 64 to 32.
In other words, today’s competition would determine whether Chu Nan could enter the finals and determine the outcome of the bet between Yang Xirui and the reporters of the United States of Melaita.
No one liked to see a group of men of different shapes running naked. Therefore, in the eyes of most of the ordinary audience, they hoped that Chu Nan would lose this competition. Yang Xirui would lose this bet and fulfill her promise to run naked in public and post the video on the Milky Way Network.
If it could be realized, this would definitely be a piece of gossip that could best complement this competition.
Therefore, the media audience, not to mention the countless reporters from other countries, secretly looked at Yang Xirui with ill intentions. They imagined this beauty stripping naked and running around naked. Even many male reporters from the Earth Federation could not help but secretly think of this when their gazes swept past Yang Xirui.
Due to Chu Nan, Yang Xirui was already one of the ace reporters of the Federation’s Information Martial Arts World Channel. It was really exciting to see this famous beauty running naked in public.
Feeling the burning gazes coming from all directions, Yang Xirui still stood upright. Her eyes were fixed on the battle scene on the virtual screen in front of her and she did not move.
Of course, she knew very well what these guys were thinking. She also knew that many people were criticizing her for using this opportunity to hype herself. Even the Earth Federation was berating her.
It was naturally impossible for her to not mind this at all, but she still stood firmly here.
She could not be bothered to refute them one by one.
When she proposed this bet to the reporters of the United States of Melaita, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was to support Chu Nan with actions.
However, she did not expect that this bet had already been spread by countless people and had already become the focus of attention outside the arena.
However, she did not mind.
So what if these guys around him had bad thoughts in their minds?
As long as Chu Nan defeated his opponent, she would win this bet.
At that time, the ones who needed to strip naked were the reporters of the United States of Melaita who had looked down on Chu Nan.
At that time, she would definitely not be the one being mocked.
Would Chu Nan win?
Of course!
Yang Xirui definitely did not doubt her judgment. She even had extremely blind confidence in Chu Nan.
This was because ever since he first met Chu Nan in the West Cloud Planet’s martial arts competition last year, this young kid had been creating shocking and unbelievable miracles in the past year.
Although he was facing so many powerful opponents in the competition this time, in fact, compared to the things he had encountered in the past and the enemies he had defeated or even directly killed in the past, what were these opponents?
When she thought of this, Yang Xirui could not help but smile.
“If these guys knew that Chu Nan had defeated or even captured a Heaven Control Martial Artist alone in a head-on battle, would they still dare to make this bet with me?”
Others were basically suspicious of the rumor that Chu Nan had killed the Heaven Control Martial Artist who had sent him into the stargate, but Yang Xirui knew that it was true.
If others knew that Chu Nan could even capture a Heaven Control Martial Artist alive, how could they doubt his strength?
Just as he was thinking about what expression those reporters of the United States of Melaita would have after the competition ended and what reason they should use to reject him when he forced them to run naked, a person quietly walked to Yang Xirui’s side.
“Miss Yang, I’m getting more and more curious about Chu Nan. After this competition ends, can you help me bring me to see him?”
Yang Xirui turned to look at the still gentle and refined Locket. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “If he loses this competition, do you plan to see him too?”
Locket looked at Yang Xirui from head to toe with admiration in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the virtual screen.
“I think he will definitely do his best to not let a beautiful lady like you suffer humiliation. Moreover, from the looks of it, is it possible for him to lose?”
