Chapter 91 Can You Win?

“Mr. Rengal, what do you think the possibility of Chu Nan winning the semi-finals tomorrow

is?”

Rengal, who had been stopped for an interview, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“I don’t dare to say. According to my judgment, his opponent’s strength should clearly surpass ordinary second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artists. It’s very likely that he has already reached the third-stage Internal Breath Realm. As for Chu Nan… according to his past performance, it’s possible for him to defeat a second-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, but as for a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist…”

Rengal did not continue, but from his expression, it was obvious that he did not think much of Chu Nan.

“Then you…”

Dong Fang shook his head and closed this news interview. He switched to another information channel. The person who appeared was actually a martial artist from the Earth Federation. At this moment, he was participating in a certain program and was receiving an inquiry that was related to Chu Nan.

Just like Rengal, although this martial artist did not explicitly say that Chu Nan could not win, he tactfully expressed, “I hope the Federation audience can maintain their calm in this competition…” What he meant was that he did not think highly of Chu Nan. Dong Fang felt vexed and switched to a few information channels that were related to martial arts. He discovered that these information channels were all paying attention to the semi-finals that Chu Nan would fight tomorrow.

In these programs or news interviews, regardless of whether it was those famous martial artists or so-called experts, no one was optimistic about Chu Nan’s competition results tomorrow.

At most, they would say that they could look forward to Chu Nan creating another miracle…

After hurriedly browsing through each program, Dong Fang’s frustration became deeper. He simply closed the real-time information and transferred it to the largest martial arts forum on the Milky Way Network.

On the forums of the Earth Federation, Chu Nan’s semi-final tomorrow was also the most popular topic. The relevant discussion topics occupied more than half of the page.

Dong Fang casually flipped through it and discovered that these topics were indeed mostly discussing the outcome.

Like the various information channels, most people did not think highly of Chu Nan.

There were even many people who asserted that if Maruk’s strength was really at the third-stage Internal Breath realm, Chu Nan would probably not last more than a minute under him.

Of course, it was not like no one had hope for Chu Nan.

However, the most optimistic person could only hope for a miracle to happen…

Apart from this, there was also an interesting discussion.

For example, someone had actually strongly criticized the competition’s organizing committee. He said that since this competition was organized by the West Cloud Planet’s government, it should be extremely easy to secretly control the result of the draw. Why did Chu Nan pick the strongest opponent in the semi-finals?

If he drew the other two second-stage Internal Breath Martial Artists, Chu Nan had a high chance of entering the finals!

When he saw this topic, Dong Fang could not help but laugh, causing his vexed mood to lighten greatly.

If Chu Nan’s strength was insufficient, he would still be defeated.

How different was it from being defeated in the semi-finals and in the finals?

If he was not the champion, there was no meaning in it. However, on second thought, this accusation was indeed reasonable.

All the arrangements for the competition were done by the competition’s organizing committee. It was very easy to secretly tamper with the results of the draw.

Under normal circumstances, the competition’s organizing committee naturally hoped that the martial artists of the Earth Federation could walk further.

If he could enter the finals, even if he could not win the championship, it could be said that he had lost in the finals. It was not too shameful.

However, Chu Nan had just happened to draw the strongest opponent, Maruk, from the hands of three opponents, causing the hope of the martial artists of the Earth Federation to win the championship for groups below the age of 20 to be almost shattered.

Why?

“Could it be that this is the result of someone secretly manipulating it?” Dong Fang could not help but rub his chin and frown as he pondered, “But the problem is, what’s the benefit of doing this?” After thinking for a long time, Dong Fang still could not understand. He could only give up on continuing to consider this meaningless problem.

After browsing through the various analysis-themed posts on the forum regarding Maruk, Dong Fang sighed and turned off his personal terminal. He went to the dormitory balcony and looked up at the sunset that was falling towards the horizon in the distance.

No matter what others said, whether Chu Nan could win tomorrow depended on him.

As soon as he returned from the competition in the afternoon, Chu Nan was pulled away by the teachers of the academy. They said that they wanted to give him some last-minute training before the competition and he had yet to return.

Now, was he ready?

Bang!

Chu Nan fell to the ground.

The few teachers of the academy beside him immediately surrounded him with nervous expressions. The fourth-year student, Enrico, who had sent him flying with a palm strike earlier, also darted forward. As he stretched out his hand, he asked in concern, “How is it? Are you alright?”

Chu Nan shook his head and rejected Enrico’s hand. He gently straightened his waist and jumped up. He even jumped twice before revealing a relaxed smile to Enrico and the teachers who surrounded him.

“It’s fine. I’m not that fragile.”

“That’s good.” The teachers heaved a sigh of relief.

A teacher glared at Enrico and berated, “Enrico, I asked you to come here to practice with Student Chu Nan. Can you pay attention to your strength! If you injure him, will you take his place in the competition tomorrow?”

Enrico touched his head and chuckled foolishly without refuting Chu Nan hurriedly waved his hand, “Teacher, you can’t blame Enrico. It’s already very good that he took the time to practice with me. Moreover, the opponents in the competition will only be much more ruthless than him. I hope he can try his best. Otherwise, I won’t be able to truly experience the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, so the practice will be meaningless, right?”

The teachers looked at each other, sighed, and nodded in unison.

The training this time was specially arranged by the higher-ups of the academy. They specially invited Enrico, a fourth-year student with the strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm, to let Chu Nan sense the true strength of a third-stage Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist in advance and allow him to be prepared for the competition with Maruk tomorrow.

If they asked Enrico to hold back, then this afternoon’s practice would indeed be meaningless.

Moreover, according to Maruk’s performance in the previous few rounds, his attacks were extremely ruthless. He even broke the legs of Luo Li, the nephew of the Martial Arts Branch Head, during the preliminaries.

When he faced Chu Nan tomorrow, he would probably not hold back.

“Chu Nan, you’ve been practicing with Enrico for the entire afternoon. How do you feel…?” A teacher suddenly asked.

The other teachers and Enrico looked at Chu Nan.

Looking at their gazes, Chu Nan smiled bitterly and shrugged. “You all have seen it too. Be it speed, strength, Internal Breath, or physical strength, a third-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist completely suppresses me in all aspects. It’s very difficult for me to even fight back.”
