“Qin Zheng!”
At this moment, countless eyes were turned in Qin Zheng’s direction.
A twitch ran through the corner of his mouth. Was he really going to make a move?
Thankfully, there was a ten-minute rest period. He quickly said, “You all wait here. I need to consult someone.”
With that, he turned and ran off.
Zhu Chengyu’s face also changed, “I have something to do as well.”
The two hurriedly left, soon leaving only Yao Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, and a few others in the contestant lounge.
Song Chaoyu asked in confusion, “Where did they go?”
“Can you guess?”
“Do you think I can’t guess?”
Yao Zhixue rolled her eyes and said, “They probably went to consult with their elders about the upcoming ranking challenges.”
At this moment, Zheng Cheng also returned to the contestant lounge. Seeing only a few people remained, he asked in surprise, “Where are Qin Zheng and Zhu Chengyu?”
“They ran off.”
“They ran off?”
Yao Zhixue nodded, “Zheng Cheng, I am also leaving.”
“No more matches?”
“No more.”
She said, “You’re definitely going to take first place, I’m certain about that. I’m going to go start the LV19 challenge in the meantime.”
“Once the admission notice from Beijing University of High Profession comes, we’ll go to Beijing together.”
“Okay.”
Yao Zhixue walked away regally, leaving Song Chaoyu sounding a bit jealous, “What’s there to brag about going to Beijing, hmph!”
Zheng Cheng said, “We’re going to be apart in a month, can’t you two get along?”
“Hmph!”
Song Chaoyu retorted, “Who wants to get along with her?”
“By the way, are you really going to Beijing?”
“Why not stay in Chang’an City? Me, Bai Jingqi, Chen Xiao, and many others are staying in Chang’an City…”
Zheng Cheng sighed heavily, “I have reasons to go to Beijing. I’ll talk about it once I figure things out.”
“Besides, if I want to access any other alien battlefields aside from the Chasm and the Dark Regions, I have to go to Beijing.”
“We will meet each other again then.”
“Well…okay.”
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Qin Zheng came over looking relaxed.
Behind him, Zhu Chengyu’s face was helpless, as if he was pondering something.
The referee soon came to the scene and announced loudly, “The next challenger in the solo ranking competition is the fourth place, student Qin Zheng!”
“The Profession awoken by Qin Zheng is acclaimed as the ‘Number one of Nine Stars’ – Dragon Vein!”
“I am sure he is going to bring us an absolutely spectacular competition. Now, let’s welcome student Qin Zheng…”
“I forfeit the challenge!”
Before the referee could finish speaking, Qin Zheng interrupted him loudly.
“Uh…” The referee was taken aback, “You…you said you forfeit the challenge?”
“Yes.”
Qin Zheng nodded, “You heard it right. I forfeit the challenge.”
“I…Um…”
The referee was stuttering, unaware of what was happening. Another person forfeiting the challenge?
Why was this year’s ranking competition so difficult?
“What’s going on? Qin Zheng forfeited too?”
“What the hell… I was looking forward to seeing the power of the Dragon Vein.”
“After Terence’s miserable failure, who would dare to challenge him…”
“It’s over, Zheng Cheng is definitely in first place now…”
The crowd around the stage was bustling with discussions.
Back in the contestant lounge, Zheng Cheng was surprised, “Why did you forfeit? I would not have used that against you…”
“I know.” Qin Zheng replied without hesitation, “But I don’t want to compete with you publicly. If we have time, we can have a private match.”
“Well…”
“I’m the same.”
Zhu Chengyu also said from the side, “I told the Commander, and he had no choice but to agree to my forfeit.”
“Don’t overthink it. You’ll be the champion of this solo ranking competition, no doubt.”
Zheng Cheng sighed inwardly and then said helplessly, “Alright, when the competition ends, I’ll treat you.”
“Hahaha, we’ve been waiting for that.”
“I have to get back to the barracks by ten tonight, but I’ll be there.”
The two agreed, and the referee on the stage announced:
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a pity that student Qin Zheng forfeited his challenge.”
“The challenge will now be undertaken by the third place, student Zhu Chengyu. According to the rules, he can only challenge the second place, Yao Zhixue, and the first place, Zheng Cheng…”
“I forfeit too!”
Zhu Chengyu stepped onto the stage, said this sentence, nodded, and then walked down the stage again.
“Uh…”
“Damn! Hahaha, Zhu Chengyu forfeited the challenge too.”
“Just as I thought…”
“It’s over, Zheng Cheng was hand-delivered the championship.”
“We just don’t know what the second place, Yao Zhixue, will do…”
The referee’s face turned liver-colored, what is this…
Then, information came through his earpiece again. He looked normal, having given up struggling.
He then announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, I just received news that the second place, Yao Zhixue, has also forfeited.”
“Therefore, I announce that the champion of this solo ranking competition is… Zheng Cheng!!!”
“Damn it! The second-place Yao Zhixue really did forfeit!”
“The second, third, and fourth-place contestants all forfeited. Oh my God…”
“What the hell is with Zheng Cheng? He was literally handed the championship!”
“The Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was just too scary. No one would dare to have a diarrhea in front of tens of thousands of people.”
“And there’s Blood Guanyin, if you get caught by Blood Guanyin’s blood vessels, it’s basically a public execution!”
