I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing said, "I recorded that, and I'm going to send it to mom to listen..."

Xue Wan hurriedly pleaded for mercy, "Don't, I was wrong, Master Jing, Officer Jing, spare your servant this once, woof! Woof woof woof woof!"

"Ladies and gentlemen in the audience and friends watching the live broadcast, welcome to the U19 Infinite Elite Fighting Championship Finals, I'm your commentator Tao Xingshou!"

"...Finally, after nearly twenty days of competition, we have determined the last two exceptional contestants, who will step onto the stage for the final battle to become the champion!"

"...This edition of the U19 has brought us many contestants who have been a surprise and delight, as well as many unexpected developments, but there's no doubt, it has been an extraordinarily exciting competition, one that will certainly go down in history!"

"...How will this legendary competition conclude? Let's wait and see!"

In the midst of the commentator's ceaseless speech, the Super Arena was already packed with more than two hundred thousand spectators. Nearly every seat was taken, with a dense and vast sea of people.

The mere noise of casual chatter created waves of sound, deafening to the ear.

In the competitors' area, with the exception of Zhou Yinglin, who was in unique circumstances, and the contestants Xue Jing and Otogirusu who were set to compete, not one of the nearly thirty competitors was absent.

Moreover, in an unprecedented fashion, they all gathered together, rather than in their familiar small groups.

"What do you think? How do you all see this match playing out?"

In the crowd, Wei Junwu spoke up with a flippant tone.

"Are you asking who will win?"

Someone asked.

Another person, with a thick bandage wrapped around their neck and a hoarse voice, said:

"It's definitely going to be Xue Jing who wins... there's no suspense in that, right?"

His name was Dai Zongnian; he was the one who got brutally defeated by Xue Jing with a Thunder Plough Hot Knife move in the top 16 match, and was one of the few who had felt Xue Jing's terror up close.

"Actually, it's not necessarily a given. Otogirusu has never used his full strength from his debut to now; nobody knows what his limit is. Perhaps he's surprisingly strong?"

"Moreover, his 'Deity Slaying Strike' is universally acknowledged as a top-level Ultimate Skill that you can't counter even if you know it's coming... even Demon King Xue might find it tough against that move."

The others also started discussing it eagerly.

"...Before his match with Zhou Yinglin, everyone thought the same, that 'Impeccable' was twisted enough, right? What was the result?"

Huang Lu, who had fought Xue Jing in the quarterfinals, spoke up indifferently.

His words immediately silenced the previous speaker.

"Demon King Xue is an existence beyond common reason... we can't view him with our regular perspective."

Song Nanxing said slowly.

"Raise your expectations as much as possible. He is the kind of person who always defies others' predictions. Every time you think you have a good understanding of him, he'll break that understanding once again."

Yin Muhu, with his muscles largely recovered, nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, that's true."

Wei Junwu spoke up with a hint of disappointment,

"Hey, you guys are so boring... is now really the time to discuss winning and losing?"

Someone asked, "Then what else is there?"

Wei Junwu sighed.

"This is a match between Otogirusu and Old Xue... don't forget, what did Otogirusu say in the pre-match interview at the start of U19?"

Everyone stiffened, as a nearly moaning phrase flashed through their minds. Explore more adventures at empire

"Competitor Xue Jing's fists... they feel so comfortable..."

Wei Junwu waved his hands excitedly,

"This Far Eastern guy definitely has something in mind for Old Xue; this isn't just a regular match. It's not about winning or losing, who knows what pleasant surprises might happen..."
