177: I really hope I don't meet you

"Losing to me is the only thing worth remembering in your life!"

The blood gushing from the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's chest stained the ground red.

As he lay limp on the ground, listening to Lin Hao's words, his eyes bulged.

His teeth were clenched tight, and veins popped on his cheeks.

In his contorted face, there seemed to be a deep sense of unwillingness!

His hands gripped the ground, and from the excessive force, he even left streaks of scratches.

He struggled, wanting to stand up.

But the injury to his chest affected his entire body.

Staggering as he propped himself up, he ultimately couldn't bear the intense pain, his hands went slack, and he fell down again.

He laboriously raised his head, his vision already somewhat blurry, and looked at Lin Hao standing opposite him.

His entire body flickered with dazzling lightning, like a Thunder God descending upon the world.

In the eyes that watched him, there seemed to be no fluctuation whatsoever.

It was as if... he had stepped on an ant and found it boring.

The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's heart was filled with endless rage.

He couldn't accept such an outcome.

What a joke, that Lin Hao... could actually withstand his three full-power moves?

And then counter with one blow to instantly kill him??

How is that possible?

He was the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor! When had he ever suffered such humiliation!

"It shouldn't be like this... No... Ugh..."

He opened his mouth wide, seemingly wanting to say something.

But the blood surging from his throat blocked all his unwillingness.

At the commentary table.

Liu Xiu had unconsciously stood up, his gaze fixed on the center of the arena.

A drop of sweat slid down his temple.

"Can he still stand up?" he shouted out!

"Eastern Sky Battle Emperor?!"

"Did he use up all his strength in the three moves just now?"

"Or is it... Lin Hao's strength is beyond everyone's imagination! Even the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor cannot resist??"

"Could this match be over just like this?"

The hearts of the audience were stirred by Liu Xiu's shouts.

Pairs of eyes were now focused on the arena.

They also seemed unable to believe that the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor, who was favored by everyone before the match, would perform so poorly.

He couldn't even defeat an unknown Lin Hao??

However, the reality seemed to be exactly that.

The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was lying on the ground in front of Lin Hao.

He struggled to get up, but it was useless.

His injuries were too severe; that one blow had almost taken half of the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's life.

At this moment, he was only struggling based on his inner unwillingness.

Ultimately, he couldn't change the outcome.

Under the gaze of countless people.

The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor completely lowered his head.

He seemed to have fallen into a coma.

"He can't get up!!" Liu Xiu couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, he only felt his scalp tingling.

Looking at Lin Hao's figure, his gaze was implicitly filled with admiration and a touch of awe.

This young man from the Lin Family had displayed an absolute power that no one had anticipated.

Dong!!!

The sound of the gong signaling the end of the battle was struck as the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor fell into a coma.

It also indicated that the outcome of this battle had been decided.

"Let's congratulate Lin Hao from the Tai Xu Lin Family! He defeated the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor of the Eastern Sky Dynasty, earning another valuable ten points for the Tai Xu Lin Family!!"

Liu Xiu's astonished voice echoed throughout the venue.

For a moment, the entire audience erupted.

Innumerable discussions followed, without exception, all expressing surprise towards Lin Hao.

"This is truly unbelievable..."

"Is that still the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor I know? Even the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor can lose?"

"Yeah, yeah, how can this Lin Hao be so strong? I haven't even seen clearly what happened, and the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor lost?"

"I remember, in the previous session, the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor seemed to have achieved very good results. Why is he so weak this time?"

"Rather than saying the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor is weak, I think it's more accurate to say that Lin Hao is too strong, right?"

"A dark horse, an absolute dark horse without a doubt!"

"And that Lin Yi too."

"Right, and that Lin Yi who instantly killed Ma Junhong, hiss... What's going on with this Lin Family? Is it that exaggerated?"

"..."

Waves of discussion continuously echoed throughout the audience stands.

Meanwhile, at the center of the arena, personnel from the organizers quickly came onto the stage. After confirming that the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor had fallen into a coma, they carried him away.

Watching this scene, in the Eastern Sky Dynasty's rest area.

The Second Prince stumbled and directly fell onto the ground.

Even the other participating princes and princesses behind him felt their future was bleak at this moment.

The Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's defeat was not just a simple loss of one match.

Most directly... it affected the Eastern Sky Dynasty's points.

After a full day of matches...

Their points were 1 point.

Yes, they only managed to get one point.

Damn it, they were already so far behind at the start. How were they going to catch up later?

This was a huge problem, laid out right in front of the Eastern Sky Dynasty.

On the first day, their path had almost reached a dead end.

...

Inside the Piao Miao Holy Land.

Ouyang Haochen couldn't help but scratch his itchy head.

He only felt his heart filled with endless despair.

"See, I knew it! This Lin Hao is terrifyingly strong," he complained to Little Rabbit beside him.

"Indeed, this person will likely become our biggest obstacle in this competition..."

Little Rabbit kept shaking her head, saying in a deep voice.

Although she had anticipated early on that Lin Hao would be very strong.

It wasn't until she saw this scene today that she could understand how much she had underestimated Lin Hao at that time.

The strength displayed by the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor was absolutely worthy of a Grandmaster.

Although Ouyang Haochen was confident that he could also defeat the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor.

After all, among the three strongest individuals in this competition, as widely rumored, the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's strength could be said to be at the bottom.

However, it was impossible to defeat him so easily.

No matter what, he would have to engage in a tough battle before being able to defeat him, right?

But Lin Hao...

Not only did he endure the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor's full-power three moves, but he also instantly killed the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor with a single counter-attack.

This already explained a lot.

If he were to rank everyone in this competition.

Ouyang Haochen believed.

Lin Hao was definitely in a league of his own.

Standing above everyone else, the strongest person in this competition.

Following that, would be him, Ouyang Haochen, Huang San, Lin Yi, Eastern Sky Battle Emperor...

No, Ouyang Haochen no longer thought highly of the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor.

In his opinion, Lin Yi was even stronger than the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor.

He also firmly remembered the match where Lin Yi fought Ma Junhong earlier.

Undoubtedly, being able to instantly kill Ma Junhong, regardless of Ma Junhong's condition.

Even if he was injured, he shouldn't have been unable to withstand even one move from Lin Yi, right?

It could only mean one thing: among Grandmasters, Lin Yi's strength surpassed Ma Junhong's.

It could be said that he was in the second tier.

Then, the third tier included the Eastern Sky Battle Emperor, Ma Junhong, and the other Reincarnation Seven Freaks.

And Su Ze and others from the Piao Miao Holy Land.

Other forces, including the Boundless Sacred Ground, in Ouyang Haochen's view, did not pose much of a threat.

From beginning to end, his enemies were only these few!

"Lin Hao..." Looking at the back of Lin Hao, who was turning to leave the center of the arena.

Ouyang Haochen couldn't help but swallow: "I really hope I don't meet you..."
