The crowd below did not discuss this time, but silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
They were still confused about what had just happened. As the saying goes, the greatest enemy is unknown fear. Everyone looked at Li Chonglou with complex eyes.
Was this guy lucky or truly strong?
Could this question even become their own question…
Wu Long shook his head, not only discarding his previous guesses but also brainwashing himself: "Don't overthink it. Brother Li's true strength is no longer important. Based on what he's shown so far, cooperation is more than enough. Overthinking is useless."
Wu Long no longer wanted to think about Li Chonglou's strength. He didn't even want to think about whether he didn't want to or didn't dare to.
Because he had a feeling that if he really tried to dig deeper, he might encounter something he couldn't accept.
However, at this moment, something else that surprised everyone happened.
Without any warning, Wu Ying, the strongest among the younger generation, suddenly leaped onto the stage.
"I'll do it."
These two simple words instantly made the crowd below erupt.
"Holy crap! It's only been a few matches, and Ying Shen is already on?"
"Even Ying Shen couldn't help but make a move. Is this guy really that strong?"
"This is the second time Ying Shen has actively challenged. Will this outsider still evade?"
The person who spoke these words actually represented the thoughts of most of the geniuses present. In their eyes, Li Chonglou was an outsider. The more outstanding and stronger he performed, the more they would be embarrassed!
Therefore, they all wanted to see the scene where Wu Ying personally defeated him!
Of course, not everyone thought this way. Wu Long's face showed deep confusion.
He didn't understand why Wu Ying would go on stage at this time. Was it really because of the previous evasion?
After all, to keep points, one needed enough matches. Once the stage was taken over by Wu Ying, where would others get a chance to score points?
Moreover, according to the rules, as long as there was no challenge, meaning the final winner was decided, the competition would end!
With Wu Ying's strength, it would take them going through everyone to have a chance to defeat him! But by then, how many would still have their strength reserved?
To put it bluntly, Wu Ying's appearance on stage might be a moment of relief for others, as their attention was focused on Li Chonglou. But for those like Wu Long who wanted to contend for a spot, it was completely bad news!
Even the people below the big screen couldn't help but show surprise.
An An couldn't help but say to Mu Qi: "Qi Qi, it seems you don't need to worry anymore. Brother Li can come out unscathed now."
No one believed Li Chonglou could contend with Wu Ying, and Mu Qi was the same. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although it's a bit of a targeted move, it's still a good outcome."
Mu Qi nodded, her eyes no longer showing any worry.
That was the strongest Ying Shen, invincible in this age group!
On the stage.
Compared to the mood of others, Li Chonglou felt very helpless at the moment.
He only needed one more match to admit defeat and step down. Why did someone jump up at this time, purely causing him trouble?
Li Chonglou now had only two choices: either give up his spot and hide his strength, or continue to contend for the spot, but that would indirectly make him even more famous.
The recognized number one was defeated by someone else. Any idiot could understand the meaning and consequences of such a thing.
Given Li Chonglou's usual style, he naturally did not want such a thing to happen.
However, he didn't want to give up on the spot either!
From Wu Long's words, he had vaguely sensed that there was a circle in this world that he had never been exposed to, and it definitely involved the Wu family. If he gave up, it would be equivalent to giving up an opportunity to understand the Wu family!
One was his style, and the other was his goal.
With a slight comparison, Li Chonglou made up his mind.
"So be it if I become famous! I've already offended quite a few people anyway, and this fame might even prevent some accidents!"
Clenching his fist secretly, Li Chonglou's thoughts became clear. Just then, Uncle Quan officially announced the start of the match.
The crowd below, the people below the big screen, and even Uncle Quan, all stared intently at the two on the stage, afraid of missing any of their actions!
Wu Ying did not underestimate the situation. Li Chonglou's performances in every match had already exceeded expectations several times. Such an effect could not be achieved by ordinary people. After the announcement of the start of the match, a dense, fifth-level aura instantly enveloped the entire venue.
Those closer to the stage involuntarily retreated a few steps, as if this could give them a sense of security.
However, at this moment, Li Chonglou moved.
There were no fancy moves, nor did he use Shadow Step. He simply used his fourth-level speed to go straight towards Wu Ying.
The crowd below held their breath, waiting for Wu Ying's reaction.
Would it be a killing blow, or would he gain an advantage first?
Wu Long sighed inwardly. He knew Wu Ying's strength better than anyone present, except Uncle Quan. If Li Chonglou only had fourth-level strength, no matter how much he knew, he would not last ten rounds.
Within ten moves, Wu Ying would definitely decide the outcome!
But in the next moment, everyone suddenly noticed something strange.
"Why hasn't Ying Shen moved yet?"
For the entire second it took Li Chonglou to disappear and reappear, Wu Ying had only assumed a defensive stance and made no other moves.
At first, everyone thought it was Wu Ying's strategy, until his expression suddenly changed dramatically and he retreated in a panic, and then they realized something was wrong.
What's going on? Why does Ying Shen's expression look not so good?
In the next second, Li Chonglou had already closed in and landed a steady punch on Wu Ying's chest.
"Don't even think about it!"
Wu Ying suddenly shouted, and an aura more powerful than the fifth level erupted like a tsunami! Uncle Quan's expression changed drastically.
"Not good, Xiao Ying, be car–"
Before Uncle Quan could finish speaking, Li Chonglou's eyes narrowed, and the special acupoints in his body once again unleashed an invisible energy, causing Wu Ying's aura to abruptly halt.
To prevent the backlash from injuring himself, before he could fly back, Li Chonglou thoughtfully used his internal energy to suppress and calm the aura within Wu Ying's body.
Then came the silence, like death, once again.
Wu Ying's consciousness had already returned before he landed, but his eyes held nothing but shock!
Even after landing, the look in his eyes was still clearly visible!
