Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 994 - 996: On the Brink of Battle

Seeing Aslit, Qiuye felt a mix of emotions and had many things he wanted to say to his sister.

Qiuye's match was after Aslit's, but she stayed in the lounge early in the morning, just to catch a glimpse of Aslit.

However, Aslit entered the lounge right on time and left for the stage just as punctually.

Qiuye tried to talk to Aslit by her side countless times and followed her all the way to the tunnel entrance, yet Aslit went on stage alone as if she hadn't seen her.

"Maybe the timing isn't right, after the match, my sister should have more free time, then I'll ask her..."

Muttering to himself for comfort, Qiuye lowered her head, waiting for the match to end.

Now, the match finally over, seeing her sister approach, Qiuye eagerly rushed up,

"Sis... Sister... You're my sister, right? Sister, why have you been out of touch for so long?

As a child, I had no idea of your struggles... but now it's different.

I can understand your feelings now.

The family's ways are indeed biased, I don't like their methods either.

In the future, there will definitely be many people facing discrimination.

I want to change the family, if my sister could come back...

The two of us could definitely change the family."

Aslit remained indifferent to Qiuye's words, leaving her behind, stepping into the depths of the dark tunnel, and disappeared into the darkness.

Watching Aslit leave, Qiuye's eyes were filled with loneliness as she hugged her beloved blade tighter.

....

....

The third round of matches lasted two and a half days, and Bai Jin smoothly won the third round match.

After the third round ended, Yang Yu and his team were given a day and a half of rest.

During this day and a half, Yang Yu didn't idle but sought information about Aslit.

Yang Yu wasn't sure how Aslit managed to grow so much in such a short time, but he could guess a little.

Aslit's [Charming Girl] had increased from LV.1 to LV.8.

Based on Yang Yu's past game experience, upgrading such special items wasn't possible without tremendous cost or effort...

No doubt, Aslit had contact with the Demon King's Vanguard.

Yang Yu now wanted to grab Aslit and beat him up, questioning him about the Demon King's Vanguard.

But Yang Yu, being at the Dragon God Conference during this critical period, realized trying to seize Aslit was extremely risky.

Not to mention, if the giant dragon thought Yang Yu was interfering with the competition from outside, Yang Yu's qualification could be directly canceled, and he'd likely cry in the bathroom. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

So, the idea of grabbing and beating could only be abandoned.

Putting aside all miscellaneous matters, Yang Yu began carefully preparing for the next match.

The Wind Snatching from the Wind Wolf Clan was one of the hot favorites to win the championship.

The Wind Wolf Clan, a race that controls the wind, can form unique Wind Vortexes on themselves.

The Wind Vortex can be used for attack or defense, providing the Wind Wolf Clan with fierce assault and extraordinary mobility, or used as a means of protection.

The spinning vortex eye can deflect most attacks, having a Wind Vortex is like having a portable Heart Protector, quite a BUG.

Originally, Yang Yu also wanted to acquire the Wind Wolf Clan's Racial Essence to master the Wind Vortex, but due to the high difficulty, he gave up.

Previous knowledge came in handy, but Yang Yu wasn't satisfied with his memory; he meticulously reviewed all the intelligence and imprinted the Wind Wolf Clan's information into his mind.

In the blink of an eye, the day for the start of the fourth round arrived.

After the third round, the number of participants in the Dragon God Conference reduced sharply from 256 to 32.

The fourth round was the Top 16 matches, and this round, along with the subsequent quarterfinals and semifinals, would all be completed within a day; the semifinals and finals would also be completed within a day.

As the matches progressed, the gap in individual strength between the contestants would narrow, making the matches more exciting.

The audience cherished each match, knowing each match they watched was one less.

Today, the arena was again packed, every audience member eagerly anticipating today's matches, especially the first match of the day.

In the past three matches, Wind Snatching showcased overwhelming strength; in this fourth match, people wondered if he could easily defeat his opponent again.

And his opponent had defeated various strong contenders along the way, but apart from the first match, his subsequent two matches were quite dragging, so people wanted to see if Yang Yu could overturn the situation using his unique tactics or ingenious strategies, achieving victory from a position of weakness.

Feeling the atmosphere on site, Bai Jin and his teammates all couldn't help but become nervous.

As the representatives of the staff concluded their simple remarks, the fourth round officially began.

From this round, the interval between each match increased to ten minutes, giving each contestant ample time to walk from the stands to the battle stage, or vice versa, allowing them to watch their opponent's match and prepare appropriate strategies for the future.

From this round, it's no longer just a contest of strength, but also a test of the contestants' intelligence-gathering abilities.

The ability to independently discover an opponent's weaknesses and exploit them is also a demonstration of strength.

If it weren't for meeting Wind Snatching in this round, Yang Yu would have more time and opportunities to gather more intelligence on Wind Snatching, making the battle easier.

Yang Yu planned to treat this match like a final.

"Let's first welcome the contestant who has easily defeated his opponents three times, future clan leader from the Dragon God Evaluation Country's Wind Wolf Clan, Wind Snatching!"

The audience erupted in applause as Wind Snatching walked steadily onto the battle stage, a gentle breeze inexplicably blowing around his enormous frame.

"Next, let's welcome the leader of the newly formed S-Class adventure group, contestant Yang Yu.

From the past three matches, it's evident that contestant Yang Yu possesses extraordinary strength.

No wonder he could become the leader of an S-Class adventure group at such a young age."

Yang Yu also stepped onto the battle stage amidst the enthusiastic applause, facing Wind Snatching.

"Dear audience, thank you for your patience. Without further ado, let's start today's match! Contestants, please take your positions."

Wind Snatching scanned Yang Yu from head to toe; he had watched Yang Yu's matches, and although he sensed Yang Yu's aura wasn't as strong as his own, Wind Snatching could detect a hint of danger from Yang Yu.

To be safe, Wind Snatching activated several Wind Vortexes on his body.

Meanwhile, Yang Yu took out his sword and shield, stood there motionlessly, exuding vulnerabilities all over.

The referee looked at Yang Yu, then at Wind Snatching, confirmed both contestants were ready, and officially announced the start of the match.

The battle was about to commence.
