Under such circumstances, everyone naturally hoped that Linlong and Luo Lingjun would not be drawn first. In their opinion, these two powerhouses would only face off in the final battle.
As for the Su family and the Guo family, they naturally hoped that Linlong and Luo Lingjun would face off first because that would give them a chance to enter the final battle.
By then, even if they did not get first place, they would at least get second place. If they met either Linlong or Luo Lingjun first, they would not have the chance to get second place.
The Fang family's patriarch, Fang Feiyang, went on stage to draw the lots for the last round. He had to take out two balls from a black box. There would be four balls in the box with the names of Linlong and the other three written on them. Whoever was drawn out first would be their opponent.
After saying a few words on stage, Fang Feiyang reached into the black box and took out a black ball.
After looking at the name on it, he smiled and said, "Linlong."
Next to him was a middle-aged man from another family. The middle-aged man's eyes were fixed on the black ball in Fang Feiyang's hand. After Fang Feiyang read out Linlong's name, he nodded, indicating that Fang Feiyang was not faking it.
"Alright, let's see who's next." After saying that, Fang Feiyang reached into the black box again.
At that moment, everyone held their breath and stared at Fang Feiyang on stage without blinking.
Soon, Fang Feiyang took out another black ball. Looking at the name on the black ball, Fang Feiyang's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Luo Lingjun!" Then, he read out the name in a very calm tone.
"It's Luo Lingjun."
"This is so surprising."
"Yeah, it's such a pity. They should have met in the final battle."
"Perhaps the heavens purposely prevented one of them from entering the final round."
"They are the strongest in this competition. Let's just treat their battle as the final. Why bother so much? After all, they're going to meet each other."
"Yeah, yeah."
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion below the stage. It could be said that this result was beyond most people's expectations.
Among them, the Su and Guo Families were naturally overjoyed. This was because they now had a chance to enter the finals, unlike before when they had no chance at all if they encountered Linlong or Luo Lingjun.
"Long 'er, it seems like you guys have met a little too early, eh? How is it? Do you have any confidence now?" Lin Qingshan, who was beside Lin Long, spoke up.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will definitely win this round," Linlong said calmly.
"En, good luck then."
"Good luck, Linlong."
"Good luck, Young Master."
The members of the Lin Family all cheered for Lin Long. Even those who had previously disliked Lin Long said such sincere words at this time. After all, Lin Long now represented the Lin Family.
Since it was already noon, the next match was scheduled to be carried out in the afternoon.
Time passed quickly. After replenishing some energy and resting for a while, it was already time for the afternoon competition.
Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, Linlong stepped onto stage number one. His opponent, Luo Lingjun of the Luo Family, quickly stood in front of him.
Luo Lingjun, who had a big bald head, still had a sinister expression.
"Linlong, with your strength, you should have been able to obtain first place in this competition. Unfortunately, you encountered me," Luo Lingjun said with a sinister smile.
"You're wrong. Even if I encountered you, I would still be first," Linlong said calmly.
"En, you're quite confident. Then let us wait and see who will be first." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lingjun suddenly attacked.
Luo Lingjun used the Luo Family's Luo Dao Fist. In an instant, an extremely strong wind directly attacked Linlong.
"He used the Luo Family's advanced martial technique right from the start. Luo Lingjun can also see that he has encountered a strong opponent."
"I just don't know if Luo Lingjun can defeat his opponent as quickly as before."
In an instant, the crowd below the stage started discussing.
Linlong did not use offense against offense. Instead, he used his own defensive martial technique. However, he did not use an ordinary defensive martial technique like before. Instead, he used the Lin Family's Shield Technique.
Layers of powerful Qi formed a natural barrier in front of him.
Quickly after, the energy from the Luo Dao Fist fiercely smashed onto the natural barrier.
After a series of explosions, both of them took a few steps back.
The first exchange of blows seemed to be a draw. After that, Luo Lingjun did not hesitate at all. Once again, he pressed forward.
Another punch was thrown out, and this time, the power of the punch seemed to be even more violent than before. The wind brought about by the power of the punch whistled, and it sounded as if a storm was about to arrive.
Linlong still did not counterattack. He still used the Shield Technique.
Another huge explosion rang out. After that, Luo Lingjun did not stop. Not only did he not stop, his speed became faster and faster.
He threw punch after punch at Linlong. He no longer focused on attacking Linlong from the front. Instead, he kept on changing his direction.
In an instant, banging noises rang out incessantly. It was as if Luo Lingjun was endlessly smashing a huge sandbag.
This was more like a battle between experts!
That scene made the crowd below excited. Even the Martial Masters and Martial Lords felt a bit fascinated.
Very soon, some people felt that something was wrong. From start to finish, Linlong did not counterattack. He kept on using the Shield Technique to take on his opponent's attacks. However, passively taking a beating like that wouldn't solve the problem.
Could it be that Linlong knew there was a gap between him and his opponent, so he put on such a defensive stance right from the start?
Or perhaps Linlong wanted to use a defensive martial skill to exhaust his opponent, and wait until the time was right to counterattack?
Looking at the soul-stirring battle, various guesses flashed into the hearts of the crowd below.
But no matter what they guessed, it was a very clear fact that Linlong was temporarily at a disadvantage. Moreover, Luo Lingjun, who kept on attacking, seemed as if he simply did not know what fatigue was.
"Young master, quickly counterattack!"
"Linlong, you can't passively take a beating!"
Some people who were concerned about Linlong silently shouted in their hearts.
"Master, is Young Master Linlong fine?" the butler next to Lin Qingshan, Old Liu, said worriedly.
"Don't worry. Long 'er is testing his opponent's strength," Lin Qingshan said.
