420: Unexpected results

“Card Civilization? How could it be Card Civilization!”

“This year, Card Civilization produced the super Genius Misaya, who even defeated Charon Civilization from Looking-Through Territory.”

“You know, that was a Prophets Student!”

“Misaya, as a dark horse, strongly entered the top ten.”

“Could it be that a Genius of this caliber can only rank fifth in the Douqi Baptism?”

Incredulous voices were everywhere. If it weren't for everyone witnessing it firsthand, and the reputation of so many Heroes Assembly, some might even suspect foul play.

Because this result was truly too surprising.

In their opinion, Wu La from Shushu Civilization should have been the one to be eliminated in fifth place.

This wasn't about admiration for strength, but rather a matter of fact.

Whether it was his Affiliation Territory or the strength he displayed, Wu La was indeed inferior to the other four.

Reaching the top five was already an unexpected surprise; did he really think he could win the championship?

“Hmph, what's there to be surprised about?”

“Does Card Civilization have some kind of immunity from elimination?”

In the audience, an alien who looked like a Withered Tree Civilization spoke.

“Exactly, exactly, this Card Civilization constantly brags about their past championship win.”

“An ancient champion from S8, it's driving him crazy!”

“Why haven't they won the championship in the more than a hundred subsequent competitions?”

“Do they have an antibody to winning?”

An alien with flowing flames on his body, but not burning, echoed in agreement.

The other spectators could tell from their appearance that these two aliens, like Qing Ti and Brand in the top ten, were from Withered Tree Civilization and Burned Out Civilization, respectively.

“A villain getting his way!”

To the side, an alien from one of the top five Territories said disdainfully.

“The winner is king!”

Although the aliens from Withered Tree Civilization and Burned Out Civilization didn't know each other, they immediately united their front and replied.

And it has to be said, for Civilizations from ordinary Territories to perform like this was quite exciting.

Aside from the initial shock, everyone quickly accepted the result.

Furthermore, because the number of ordinary Territories was three times that of the top five Territories, the number of people was naturally greater.

Normally, it wouldn't be noticeable, but now it was different.

Among the four remaining contestants, three were from ordinary Territories!

This immediately filled them with anticipation, and a thought involuntarily came to mind.

This might be the only chance in our lives for aliens from ordinary Territories!

...Inner Lotus Platform.

Misaya walked towards the Outer Lotus Platform with a bewildered expression.

He seemed to doubt if he had seen incorrectly, turning back several times during the process.

Four milky white towering pillars, all told him.

We... are fifth place!!!

“Eighth wave? Fifth place?”

Misaya, at this moment, was like a patient who had just woken up from general anesthesia, muttering to himself.

“You didn’t see wrong, brother.”

“We’re all out.”

Misaya looked up and saw a Cannon Mouth Civilization greeting him.

Although it was his first time participating in the Heroes Assembly, his Civilization was not.

His team had long since informed him about many powerful contestants, and he knew that the person in front of him was from Cannon Mouth Civilization of Glacier Territory.

Misaya walked to the Outer Lotus Platform and stood with the four who had been eliminated first.

The staff, as per regulations, explained Hong Xu's withdrawal to Misaya.

Misaya didn't care about this, but still looked with some disbelief at the four milky white pillars on the Inner Lotus Platform.

“To be honest, I thought I would easily get into the top three with this result, but I didn't expect to be the first of the four dark horses to be eliminated.”

Misaya said with a faint smile, seemingly in good spirits and not too affected.

“You’re quite open-minded, unlike the tenth place.”

“Tenth place?”

Misaya hesitated for a moment but quickly realized that Cannon Mouth Civilization was referring to Hong Xu.

“It's nothing, our Card Civilization is in the top ten every year, we're used to it.”

“Moreover, the Prophets Student I fought against was suppressing his strength a bit. He's a bit like Shi Fan, both are at a critical point of advancing to Sky Soaring Warrior.”

“Because of this, he couldn't even exert his original strength, so I was lucky to win.”

Cannon Mouth Civilization nodded. Although he watched the battle, watching is not the same as fighting in person, so he naturally couldn't see some very subtle things.

Initially, he thought that Prophets Student from Charon Civilization wasn't that strong, but now it seemed that the opponent was suppressing his strength.

However, he knew that the other two Prophets Students lost their matches not because they suppressed their strength, but because they genuinely couldn't win.

This shows the caliber of Qing Ti and Brand.

This year, a dark horse might really win the championship!

“Who do you think will be eliminated next?”

Compared to the others, the alien from Cannon Mouth Civilization was clearly more talkative.

“Although Wu La’s performance and background surprised me, even shocked me, but… the next one to be eliminated should be him!”

“Qing Ti, Brand, and Zhu Sanfeng, these three are truly very strong.”

Misaya didn't think for long and quickly gave an answer.

In his opinion, even if he got into the top three in the Enlightenment Pool, he would not be a match for these three. After all, the ranking in the Enlightenment Pool was only a reference for the subsequent top ten stage of the competition, not absolute.

“I’m thinking pretty much the same as you. It seems the quality of contestants in this Heroes Assembly is really high.”

“I just don't know if any contestant this year can survive the eighth wave?”

The other four contestants did not answer, they were also looking forward to it.

Normally, the eighth wave of Douqi Baptism would eliminate all contestants, but this year the quality of contestants was higher.

Perhaps someone could really withstand eight waves of Douqi Baptism and welcome the ninth wave!

If anyone could do that, he would pretty much be the champion of this Heroes Assembly!

...Outside the arena.

The time of calm waiting felt as if some magic had been secretly cast upon it, making it long and enduring.

Many people wished that this long and enduring time could appear where it was needed, but unfortunately, time cannot be transferred.

When the eighth wave of Douqi Baptism reached its mid-to-Late Stage, one of the milky white pillars began to shake irregularly.

This was a signal that the contestant inside was about to be unable to withstand the pressure of the Douqi Baptism and was preparing to be eliminated.

Elimination was not strange, especially being eliminated in the eighth wave, it was even less strange.

The eighth wave was also called the 'team wipe wave'; ninety-nine percent of past contestants fell here.

But... at this moment, everyone seemed to have seen some incredible sight, as if an invisible large hand collectively choked their necks, and the atmosphere of the entire scene could be described as oppressive.

Everyone knew who the contestant inside the pillar was, and it was precisely because of this that it was so unbelievable.

The shaking of that milky white pillar grew larger and larger, finally collapsing irresistibly.

The moment the contestant inside emerged, the audience's hanging hearts finally died.

“My God! Zhu Sanfeng is actually out!”

“The last Prophets Student, in the Douqi Baptism, could only rank fourth!”
