Chapter 2024: This plot seems familiar...
"Holy crap! What did I just see?!"
"Master Ao? Is that Master Ao? Master Ao actually came this year?!"
"This is outrageous! This Lanting Preface is incredibly good at hiding things! They kept such a trump card hidden until the semi-finals?"
"I bet if they hadn't run into Bianliang City in the semifinals, they would have planned to hide until the finals!"
"Holy crap, if Lantingxu suddenly pulls out Aoye's trump card in the finals, who the hell can stop him?"
"Alright, alright, is that how you want to play? Then what else is there to say, the championship is yours!"
"Oh no, Bianliang City is really in trouble now!..."
I entered the spectator mode and saw nine familiar IDs on the field, as well as one ID that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
The entire audience, including the five members of the opposing Suns team, were completely dumbfounded.
Dude, you suddenly pulled out Ao Ye in the semifinals, how the hell are we supposed to play like this?!
If it weren't for Master Ao.
Based solely on the original lineup of the Lanting Preface.
Although the situation was roughly even between the two sides when facing Bianliang City.
However, considering various unforeseen factors, it is impossible to guarantee a win for the opponent in the Lanting Preface.
If they cannot secure a victory in Bianliang City, it means their chances of advancing to the finals are only 50%, which is clearly unacceptable to Lantingxu.
They are different from those in Bianliang City.
Although Bianliang City inexplicably stood out this time.
Even if they don't win the championship in the end, the fans of Bianliang City won't criticize them.
Even the contestants themselves didn't really care much about winning the championship; they'd be happy to have it, but they wouldn't care if they didn't.
However, the Lanting Preface was awarded because it had just won the championship in the previous competition.
This team came from the very beginning aiming for a second consecutive championship, so their mentality was completely different.
This is why they played so meticulously this year.
One doesn't care whether he wins the championship or not, while the other is obsessed with winning a second consecutive championship.
With these two teams facing off in the semifinals, it's obvious which team is more likely to have a mental breakdown.
So the two teams met in the semifinals.
Most viewers were optimistic about Bianliang City.
The result was completely unexpected.
The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion quietly produced a major breakthrough.
They had been holding onto a trump card all along, waiting to use it to break the deadlock when faced with a difficult situation!
With Ao Ye making a dazzling appearance in the semi-finals.
The viewers who were firmly supporting Bianliang City just a second ago suddenly switched sides.
It's not that they're fickle; anyone who's watched Ao Ye's matches knows that.
This is a force that can rival the main players of the two major families, Qiancheng and Shiyi.
Once he leaves the field, the intensity becomes a completely different level!
They acknowledged that the Suns team had excellent teamwork and outstanding skills.
But that's only in comparison to 'ordinary' server teams.
In front of a nuclear-level opponent like Master Ao.
Their strengths are not entirely useless, but their impact is not particularly significant.
"He did pull it out after all, that kid."
The audience was utterly astonished by Ao Ye's sudden appearance.
Fang Yun shook his head, not particularly surprised.
To reiterate, unlike Abai, Pineapple has ambitions for regular season results.
It's fine if I didn't have the chance before.
With a second consecutive championship within reach, if he doesn't give it his all now, he's not Pineapple.
As for whether Lantingxu, who brought Aoye to the stage, can easily defeat Bianliang City in this semi-final?
To this, Fang Yun can only say, just keep watching and you'll find out.
15 minute later.
"What a generous gift! This arrogant man is simply a monster! One Bloodthirst Transformation Technique almost caused the collapse of Bianliang City with a single strike, it's outrageous!"
"They're not even in the same league! Master Ao's power is way too amazing!"
"The thing is, he's a supermodel, but how come his baby is so amazing too?"
"One powerful strike and the daughter of Bianliang City is instantly killed. What's the point of playing anymore? We might as well surrender!"
"Given the current state of Bianliang, what's the difference between surrendering and actually surrendering?"
"There's not much difference. If nothing unexpected happens, Bianliang City will stop at the top four this year."
"I had a feeling that things would go wrong in Bianliang when Ao Ye appeared, but I didn't expect it to be this bad..."
"Fuck! Mr. Sun, can you please step up your game? Next time, bring two thousand-word bills directly, and let's see who dares to bare their teeth then!"
"Exactly! If Brother Cheng were here, then Master Ao would be nothing. He'd chop off all of Master Ao's dog teeth in one stroke!"
Only a dozen or so rounds have passed.
Bianliang City, which realized the situation was bad from the start and switched from offense to defense, still couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment of Lantingxu led by Aoye.
At this moment, they were either severely injured or collapsed to the ground, looking as if they were about to fall.
In just over ten rounds, he was reduced to this miserable state by the Lanting Preface.
Everyone knows that Bianliang City is gone, and it's only a matter of time before it's eliminated.
This made the players in Bianliang City feel very frustrated!
Their Bianliang City isn't lacking in big shots; in fact, any one of them could be someone like Master Ao.
However, it seems that these big shots have a grudge against the regular season or look down on it, and it appears that they basically have no intention of showing up in the regular season.
As the saying goes, "When the tiger is away, the monkey is king."
This is probably how the audience in Bianliang City felt at this moment.
The key is.
Previously, it was always the big shots in Bianliang City who used their Rolls-Royces to smash and kill their opponents.
But today, the tables turned and we were hit by the other side.
This feeling was truly an extremely intense and unpleasant experience...
But regardless of their mood.
With Ao Ye's support, Lantingxu's offensive rhythm showed no signs of stopping.
A few more rounds passed.
The already crumbling city of Bianliang could not withstand the relentless pressure from the Lanting Preface.
With the last blood pet instantly killed, this highly anticipated semi-final came to an end in less than 20 minutes!
"Tsk, I haven't followed Ao Ye's account for a while, but he still seems pretty powerful?"
As the match ended, Fang Yun, who had watched the entire event, clicked his tongue and muttered to himself.
Those who don't know might think it's abnormal that he didn't react at all to Bianliang City, his hometown, being so brutally murdered.
Those who know the inside story understand that, for him, both Bianliang City and Lanting Xu were his own people, and he didn't feel unhappy if either side lost.
As for Master Ao's performance...
Just like he just commented.
Although I haven't paid attention to it for a while, this super-powerful underworld that he built with countless efforts and resources is still as violent as ever!
He could tell that the Suns had actually done their best in this semifinal game.
However, they simply couldn't compete with a player of Ao Ye's caliber.
A physics department, facing a tanky, high-HP chemical biology student, was crippled with a single hit.
How the hell is this still playing?
Operations? Operations my ass!
Therefore, the Suns' defeat was within Fang Yun's expectations; it was already quite good that they could hold out for nearly 20 minutes.
Just because he can accept it doesn't mean the audience in Bianliang City can accept it.
"I'm going to leave a message for Brother Cheng when I get back, telling him he absolutely has to participate in the next competition. I can't swallow this insult!"
"Although... our Bianliang City has had many situations where we crushed our opponents like this before, today it's just the other way around, there's no need to be so angry, is there?"
"I'm from Bianliang City, not some other district. Why can't I be angry when I'm being crushed?"
"The problem is, getting angry won't help! Cheng-ge has already said he doesn't really want to play in the regular season anymore. Do you think you can persuade him by leaving a message?"
"If Brother Cheng won't come, what about Brother Renzi? What about Prince Yan? Surely one of them can persuade him?"
"I think it's a bit risky. These guys can't even get an All-Star team together. They have no chance in just one regular season game."
"Then what do we do? Just let this go? Can you really tolerate it?"
"What can you do if you can't stand it? Unless you can really persuade these ancestors, even just one of them..."
With Bianliang City being crushed and eliminated by Lantingxu, their final result was set at the top four.
At this moment, the players in Bianliang City were extremely resentful!
Bianliang City had lost before, but never so thoroughly and without any suspense.
This caused the Bianliang City audience, who originally didn't care much about the regular season results, to lose their temper. They started cursing and swearing on the public screen, trying to persuade their favorite players to come out of retirement.
Just as they said.
Bianliang City isn't without powerful figures; it's just that these figures are currently in a semi-retired state.
You don't need to bring everything out.
Even if only one or two of them emerge, they will still be a force to be reckoned with on the Martial God Altar, and even the Lantingxu at its peak cannot defeat them!
Just thinking about the scene of his own thigh blocking the Lanting Preface and brutally beating it.
The players in Bianliang City couldn't wait any longer and just wanted to lure them out as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Fang Yun, the sixth brother, had seen everything they discussed.
He completely understands how these viewers feel.
However, there are deeper considerations behind his deliberate reduction of public appearances in the thousand-word series.
As the saying goes, a monopoly will only lead to self-destruction.
The current state of flourishing diversity is most beneficial to the development of the Martial God Altar.
Moreover, just like the story of Bianliang City's brave journey to the top four in this competition, only to be utterly defeated and eliminated in the semi-finals by Ao Ye's Lanting Xu.
Didn't this just provide him with a lot of new inspiration?
Confrontation is what makes a story interesting, and this kind of 'revenge drama' is a plot that everyone never tires of watching.
As for how to take revenge, and what the methods of revenge would be.
Fang Yun still needs to plan this slowly, but fortunately he's not in a hurry.
He still has a small matter to sort out on the snow mountain, so these things can only be postponed for now.
At that moment, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his wisdom.
Because I anticipated that my Qiancheng account would likely be bombarded after the semi-final.
So today, contrary to his usual habit of logging Qiancheng online and leaving it running as soon as he turned on the computer, he logged Qiancheng off early.
This left all the Bianliang City players who wanted to leave him messages empty-handed.
If he hadn't logged off, he probably would have spent half a day just reading the comments. Now he's saved a lot of time.
at the same time.
Not long after the semi-final match between Bianliang City and Lantingxu was decided.
The semifinals of the other half of the bracket between 2008 and Splendid China have also concluded.
Unlike the Lantingxu semi-final, the 2008 semi-final didn't see a sudden trump card emerge; the same lineup was fielded.
But even with the original lineup, they still faced a well-prepared Splendid China.
With Abai at the helm, 2008 still demonstrated its strong foundation and operational capabilities, leaving the audience with only one impression throughout the entire match—
Fighting without bloodshed!
Indeed, this year's 2008 tournament was much more organized and methodical compared to Bianliang City and Lanting Preface.
This is a side of the show that even its own audience rarely saw in 2008.
So even with an all-substitute lineup, they still play the game well?
What the hell were all those group stage exits? Were they all just bluffing?
A-Bai couldn't answer these questions, since ultimately it was indeed his problem.
But whatever.
This year's 2008 contestants really got serious and entered speedrun mode, easily advancing to the finals!
With the final list of finalists for this year's Martial God Tournament now finalized.
All the viewers who were following this year's Martial God Tournament were now unable to remain calm.
"Lanting Xu is set in 2008? I feel like I've seen this plot before?"
"I have seen it, but the one who came for the Lanting Preface was a substitute. This time, however, Ao Ye is here, so the outcome is hard to predict..."
"Tch, so what if your Lantingxu has Ao Ye? We 2008 have a billion-dollar family!"
"What's the use if the Thousand Cities Family doesn't come to Bianliang City?"
"Don't be too certain, maybe they'll come this year?"
"It's obvious you don't understand the Three Musketeers. The reason Lantingxu sent Aoye to compete this year is because they won the championship last year, and they want to send Aoye to ensure a two-peat!"
"But Bianliang City is different from 2008. These two teams are not lacking in results, nor are they pursuing consecutive championships. Sending out their ace players at this time would be completely meaningless except for showing off their skills!"
"What? Is there a rule that says you can't show off your skills at the Martial God Altar?"
"It's not that you can't come, but judging from their past performance, it's already a surprise that they even have Ao Ye here this year. Don't even think about the others!"
"I don't believe it! I'll prove you wrong in a minute!"
In 2008, Lantingxu and Lantingxu met again in the finals, a storyline that many viewers had actually seen.
The last time the two teams met, 2008 was still 2008, the All-Star champions.
At that time, however, the Lanting Preface team was a relatively new team. Although they had achieved some results, they were not very well-known.
The key is.
That year, the Lantingxu team fielded a completely reserve squad, and ultimately, they couldn't create a miracle against the seasoned 2008 team, getting swept away in one fell swoop, and finishing as runners-up.
The two sides have met again in the finals, but their status and position are completely different now.
2008 didn't see much change; it was still the same group of familiar faces, with the only notable improvement being an All-Star third-place finisher.
But the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion is different.
This time, they were definitely the All-Star runners-up, having gone the distance with Bianliang City in the All-Star finals, a best-of-three series!
The last team to go the full best-of-three series against Bianliang City was in 2008, and in that series, Bianliang City also finished as runner-up.
The two former All-Star runners-up are now facing off in the finals, especially since Lantingxu has sent out their ultimate ace, Aoye, in order to win back-to-back championships.
Although the competition has not yet started, everyone already has a general idea of who will emerge victorious.
But to everyone's surprise,
This tendency had only just emerged when it was instantly shattered once the finals officially began!
