Eunuch He, how strong is Hogg? Compared to Lin Guanghan, who is stronger? "Emperor Wu Xuanran asked Eunuch He after some thought.
After a moment of silence, Eunuch He said, "If it was in the past, Hogg would naturally not be a match for Lin Guanghan. However, in the past year, Hogg's strength has increased by leaps and bounds. This old servant does not know who is stronger or weaker."
"Is that so?" Wu Xuanran frowned again. He really wanted to disqualify Hogg, but he felt that it was not right. This was because if he did so, he would definitely be criticized by the people of Wu Country.
Forget it. With Lin Guanghan's strength, he should be able to defeat Hogg no matter what. With that thought, he made a decision and said to Eunuch He, "Eunuch He, there is no need to disqualify him."
"Yes." Eunuch He nodded immediately.
"Eunuch He, let them rest for a while before continuing with the competition," Wu Xuanran said again.
Eunuch He immediately passed down Wu Xuanran's order.
Below the stage, Linlong took advantage of this rest time to size up the other people. After sweeping his gaze across them, his eyes focused on a young man. There was no one beside this young man. His face looked very ordinary, but there was a hint of malice in this ordinariness.
What shocked Linlong was that even with his powerful Divine Will, he could not sense how strong this person was. It seemed that this person also had the ability to hide his aura like him.
Although he could not sense this person's strength, Linlong faintly felt that this person's strength might be above Lin Guanghan's.
After secretly remembering this person, Linlong began to seriously size up the others. The second person that caught his attention was Hogg.
This person was not weak either. However, no matter how he looked at it, he was not stronger than the young man just now.
After a while, the second day of the competition officially began.
It was not like before, where the opponents were chosen by throwing metal balls. Instead, they used the method of drawing lots.
This time, the person who drew lots was Eunuch He, who stood by the emperor's side. Therefore, no one doubted the fairness of the drawing.
Reaching out to the black box in front of him, Eunuch He took out a jade slip. When he took it out, he saw that the words "Hogg" were written on it.
"The first person to draw is Hogg," a eunuch standing beside Eunuch He shouted.
Then, Eunuch He put his hand into the black box.
"I wonder who the second person will be?"
"Although this Hogg looks old, his strength isn't weak. Whoever draws him will obviously not be easy to deal with."
The crowd below began to discuss animatedly.
According to the rules announced just now, the second person to be drawn would be Hogg's opponent.
As the crowd discussed, Eunuch He took out another jade slip.
As soon as he held the jade slip up, everyone saw the words "Lin Guanghan" written on it.
"It's Lin Guanghan!"
"If anyone else were to encounter Hogg, they would definitely be afraid. However, Young Master Lin is different. With his strength, how could Hogg be a match for him?"
"It's hard to say. After all, this Hogg is a newcomer. No one understands his strength. Young Master Lin might fail miserably."
Seeing that it was Lin Guanghan, the audience below the stage began to discuss.
Wu Xuanran, who was in front of the main hall, couldn't help but look surprised. He had just asked Eunuch He to compare their strengths. He didn't expect the two of them to meet so quickly.
That's good too. I'll let you know that you're a toad lusting after swan meat. On the other side, Lin Guanghan looked at Hogg with a cold expression on his face.
What he didn't expect was that Hogg was very calm. There was no change in his expression at all.
"Now, Eunuch He, please continue to draw jade slips." As the eunuch said this, Eunuch He reached into the black box again.
This action caused everyone to stop discussing. They focused their attention on Eunuch He's hand again.
Very quickly, Eunuch He took out another jade slip. As soon as the jade slip was held up, everyone saw the words "Tang Li" written on it.
He actually drew Tang Li. I wonder who his opponent will be. Seeing the words on the jade slip, the Seventh Princess thought to herself.
Under everyone's gaze, Eunuch He reached into the black box again. After a while, he took out another jade slip.
This time, the words "Luo Daoran" were written on it.
Seeing this name, many people who hoped that Lin Long would run into trouble immediately shook their heads. After all, Luo Daoran's strength wasn't that great. It could be said that he was lucky to make it to the top eight.
"This kid's luck is really good. He's guaranteed to make it to the top four." Many people immediately sighed.
That's good too. When I, Lin Guanghan, meet you in the top four, I'll teach you a lesson! Not far away, Lin Guanghan, who was staring at Lin Long, said coldly in his heart.
As for the Seventh Princess, she naturally smiled when she saw this situation.
Eunuch He quickly reached into the black box again. Not long after, he took out a jade slip with the words "Su Fenghua" written on it.
I wonder who Su Fenghua's opponent will be. Seeing these three words, Lin Long immediately thought to himself.
Very soon, he had an answer. This was because the next jade slip that Eunuch He took out had the words "Song Zhou" written on it.
Lin Long didn't know who Song Zhou was at first. After a while, he realized that Song Zhou was the young man whose true strength he couldn't sense earlier.
If Su Fenghua was up against this young man, there was absolutely no chance of her winning. Lin Long judged in his heart.
Out of the eight people, six people had already been selected. The remaining two people didn't need to be selected. They would be their opponents immediately.
Eunuch He then said, "Alright, let's begin the first round of the competition. Young Master Lin Guanghan and Young Master Hogg, please come to the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly flew toward the stage. In the blink of an eye, he landed firmly on the stage. Obviously, he was the judge of this competition.
Eunuch He was obviously a Level Five warrior. Hence, no one would have any objections to him being the judge.
After Eunuch He stood on the stage, Lin Guanghan and Hogg also jumped onto the stage one after another.
"Young Master Lin, please." In front of Lin Guanghan, Hogg cupped his hands and said.
Lin Guanghan also cupped his hands in a natural and unrestrained manner.
Although he looked down on Hogg, in front of everyone, especially the Emperor and the Seventh Princess, he naturally had to maintain his composure.
After that, Hogg immediately activated the energy in his body.
"Mountain Splitting Palm!"
After such a loud shout, he suddenly attacked Lin Guanghan with his palm.
At this moment, Lin Guanghan had a look of surprise on his face. This was because the opponent's palm energy was obviously not weak. Lin Guanghan did not dare to be careless and immediately countered with a punch.
"Bang!"
The force of the attack was solid. Both of them took a few steps back. However, it could be seen that the two of them were just testing each other. They did not show their true strength. Hence, the crowd was not surprised.
In the next moment, Hogg struck out with his Mountain Splitting Palm once again. This time, the force behind his palm was clearly much stronger than before.
It seemed that Hogg was going to show his true strength. This thought flashed through everyone's mind.
Since that was the case, let me show you my strength. Lin Guanghan's lips curled into a mocking smile. Then, he countered with another punch.
This punch of his was also much stronger than the previous one.
"Bang!"
The Strength Qi collided, once again emitting a muffled sound. Then, one person directly retreated more than ten steps. It was Hogg, on the other hand, Lin Guanghan only retreated two steps. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.
"It seems that Young Master Lin is stronger."
"Young Master Lin has not used his Fire Attribute Martial Skill. If he uses his Fire Attribute Martial Skill, Hogg will not be able to withstand a single blow."
"That might not be the case. What if Hogg also has a trump card?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"What trump card does he have? I saw it yesterday. His strongest move was the Mountain Splitting Palm. Now that the Mountain Splitting Palm is at a disadvantage, how can he be Young Master Lin's opponent?"
"If that's the case, then he will definitely lose!"
…
Hearing such discussions, Lin Guanghan on the stage had a proud expression on his face.
He did not follow up with another attack. Instead, he looked at Hogg who was in front of him proudly.
Hogg, who stood firmly, still had a calm expression on his face. This surprised many people.
In the next moment, he angrily roared again. Then, he punched towards Lin Guanghan again. However, this time, when he punched out, everyone's expression immediately changed. Because they realized that there was lightning flashing on Hogg's body.
"Heavens, this Hogg actually has a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill!"
Those who realized what was going on immediately cried out in surprise.
"What, a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill?" Those who did not know that it was a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill all cried out in surprise.
Even the Emperor Wu Xuanran and the other experts stared at Hogg with their eyes wide open.
The reason why they were surprised was because Thunder Attribute Martial Skills were too rare. In the vast Wu Country, the number of people who had a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill or Martial Skill could be counted on one's fingers.
Now that they saw that Hogg actually had a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill, how could they not be surprised?
Standing in front of Hogg, Lin Guanghan's face also flashed with a look of surprise. However, at this time, he calmed down. After all, having a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill did not mean that it was very powerful.
Immediately, he punched out again. This time, he did not dare to hide his strength. He directly released all of his energy. Light yellow flames burned continuously on the surface of his fist.
"Bang!"
The Strength Qi collided with each other, producing such an explosive sound. Then, both of them were pushed back. It seemed like it was a draw.
"I really did not expect Hogg to have such a Thunder Attribute Martial Skill!"
"The two of them actually fought to a draw. What a surprise!"
"Based on the current situation, I wonder who will win and who will lose?"
"I originally thought that Young Master Lin would definitely get first place. Now, the situation has changed!"
For a moment, the crowd was discussing spiritedly.
In the midst of such discussions, the two people on the stage once again released the energy in their bodies. The battle was about to start.
Who would lose? Seeing this situation, the crowd immediately quietened down. Everyone's gaze was once again focused on the two people.
