Among the eight contestants, the most popular ones stood in the crowd. Hadar, Silveria, and the others. Of course, Fade, who was also among them, was a rather controversial figure and the focus of a lot of people's attention.
There was little to no rest. Soon, the second round of the competition began.
This time, it was Fade's turn. His opponent was the representative from the Fiery Flame Hall.
The fighter from the Fiery Flame Hall was quite strong. He was even stronger than Madden of Poison Cloud Hall. It was a pity that he was battling Fade, who had already summoned his fire essence.
Therefore, in less than three minutes, the man from the Fiery Flame Hall was beaten to the ground by Fade and his flames. It could be said that he was clearly more defeated than Madden.
With that, Fade successfully passed through the second round and advanced to the third round, for which he was regarded as the top four fighters. After two successive rounds of victory, everyone's attitude towards him changed slightly.
A lot of them, who originally despised him and thought that he only had an empty reputation, couldn't help but admit that his strength was indeed impeccable. At least, he was acknowledged amongst all the sixteen contestants this time.
These were the contestants who won the following matches... Silveria from the Beauties Hall and Hadar from Mad Dragon Hall.
Silveria still had an elegant and cold appearance. However, she was extremely agile in winning the battle. In less than five minutes, she had struck the opponent from Thunder Hall off the stage and won the battle. One could say that she was quite strong.
As for Hadar, he was the most popular contestant. With his overwhelming advantage, he knocked his opponent to the ground, having them beg for mercy within a minute, winning the match in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the fourth match was over.
The four contestants who would advance to the third round were also decided.
They were Fade from Green Wood Hall, Silveria of the Beauties Hall, Hadar from Mad Dragon Hall, and Issa from the Frozen Ice Hall.
After a short break, the competition for the top four fighters began.
Fade and the Silveria fought against each other, while Hadar fought against Issa.
The first battle was between Hadar and Issa.
Needless to say, Hadar was the most popular and the strongest contestant in the Contest of Three Palaces
As for Issa, Fade hadn't paid much attention to him before.
However, looking back at the previous fights, he could gather some details.
Issa looked ordinary. On the road to advancement, he had mastered the most basic moves of the Frozen Ice Hall. Often times, he would even use the simple moves that were only used by martial practitioners at the Earth level and Black level.
However, he used these simple techniques with extreme precision, to the point where it could even be considered subtle. Most of the time, a simple technique was able to defuse the opponent's fierce attacks or even pose a great threat to the opponent.
Relying on this unremarkable fighting style, Issa defeated two of his opponents in the previous rounds and successfully entered the semifinals.
At that moment, he was up against the crowd's favorite, Hadar. No one favored him, but Issa remained calm and quietly stepped into the ring.
At the beginning of the battle, Issa quickly proved his calmness with confidence.
Although his moves were plain and simple, they were extremely accurate. Every move he made had the greatest impact at his hands. With that, Issa and Hadar were evenly matched.
This surprised the crowd. They exclaimed in shock and started to discuss among themselves.
In the ring, Hadar's continuous attacks were being blocked. He frowned and showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
After another attack was blocked, he looked at Issa, who was panting slightly. He snorted and said, "I've had enough fun. It's time to end it." With that said, Hadar's aura surged.
Issa's face was slightly pale but he was still calm. He pursed his lips and his eyes were firm.
He didn't say anything but his appearance showed his determination.
Obviously Issa, a contestant who was not the favorite to win, refused to give up so easily when faced with the popular Hadar. At the very least, he wouldn't go down without a fight.
Swish, Bang, Boom!
The surging aura of Hadar's offenses became even more ferocious.
At this time, he seemed to have turned into a fierce dinosaur, roaring and launching waves of fierce attacks toward Issa, shaking the ground. However, even under such circumstances, Issa remained calm and composed. He continued to make precise strikes to counter Hadar's attacks. With that, the two sides were deadlocked for another ten minutes.
However, in the end, Issa's strength was ultimately weaker. A precise but not solid defense was broken through by Hadar. Issa got hit in the chest and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Swoosh!
Hadar was as fast as the wind. He immediately leaned forward and prepared to give Issa another blow.
At this point, the ice-cold Issa finally spoke up, "I admit defeat!"
When the last word was uttered, Hadar's attack was only less than 20 centimeters away from Issa.
In the end, the attack halted. After a few seconds, it dissipated with a bang.
Issa wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and stood up from the ground. He looked at Hadar with a calm gaze and said faintly, "I am indeed not your opponent. You win."
Hadar replied, "Your strength is beyond my expectation. It was a surprise for me too."
As soon as these words were muttered, the crowd was filled with a burst of discussions.
After all, Hadar's previous two battles both ended in less than a minute. He defeated his opponents easily.
However, he had fought against Issa for nearly twenty minutes before he finally won.
Moreover, Hadar, who had always been arrogant, had willingly admitted Issa's strength in public, which was a recognition towards Issa.
For a moment, everyone looked at Issa and their expressions shifted.
The disciples of the Frozen Ice Hall did not show much disappointment. Instead, they tended to Issa as if they were welcoming a hero.
As for Hadar, although there were some twists and turns in the match, his victory seemed to prove that he was the strongest.
Of course, everyone from Mad Dragon Hall had confidence and joy written all over their faces.
After the first round of the semi-final, it was Fade's turn to compete with Silveria.
This competition caught everyone's attention.
It was because one of them was a young man who had been recruited from the secular world, receiving attention from Janus even though he had only been on Prohibition Island for about half a year
The other was a famous beauty amongst the Beauties Hall as well as Sixteen Inner Halls. It was going to be an interesting match.
