Chapter 704 Tournament (13)
The twelve great factions could have held the final match on the same day as the other matches of the final round, but they chose to hold the final match the day after.
First, they wanted to build up tension and hype for this final match.
And second, they wanted to let the contestants rest up so that they would be in peak condition for this match.
After all, this was a match that would decide the top genius of the next generation, so this was without a doubt a match that everyone paid attention to.
It was especially important for the Hunters Organization and the Chu Family where the two finalists were from.
If their finalist won, it would mean that they would be the organization that would have the strongest momentum over the next generation. This was something that was very important among the twelve great factions.
However, for Lin Fan's group, the match was actually the last thing that was on their minds.
In fact, most of Lin Fan's group didn't even show up in the stands to watch Mo Ze Chen.
It was only Angela and Lin Fan who were sitting in the stands watching. As for the rest, they were all gone.
Lulu was also here, but she was with Mo Ze Chen in the resting area instead of being with Lin Fan and Angela in the stand.
At that moment, it was actually the first time that Ying Ling and Lulu met, so it was quite a tense moment in the resting area. Ying Ling had even declared that she would defeat Lulu and take Mo Ze Chen away from her.
As for Momonga and Yuki, they had been sent off on a special mission by Lin Fan.
It was easy with Momonga since he and Lin Fan already had a good relationship, but it was completely different with Yuki. She clearly didn't want to follow Lin Fan's order, but in the end, Lin Fan was able to convince her by having Angela speak up and also bribing her with special sweets.
But when she left, there was a clear unwilling look on her face.
Now the only thing that was left was for the other side to make their move.
They said that they would be making their move during the final, so there was still some time before they would arrive.
Before then, there was nothing for them to do other than wait and see what happened.
Back in the resting area, Mo Ze Chen was still caught in between the two girls, but someone unexpected came to his rescue.
It was his opponent from the Chu Family, Chu Huai.
Chu Huai came forward with a smile and reached his hand forward towards Mo Ze Chen as he said, "I hope that we'll have a good match."
Mo Ze Chen couldn't help raising a brow when he saw this. After all, he knew what kind of reputation that he had, so it was strange for Chu Huai to treat him like this.
But still, he couldn't see any lies coming from Chu Huai's eyes, only sincerity. He could tell that Chu Huai was serious, so there was no reason for him to treat him badly.
Mo Ze Chen reached his hand out and shook Chu Huai's hand as he said, "You too."
Chu Huai just gave a nod before turning to go back to the person that came with him.
Mo Ze Chen was completely confused as to why Chu Huai would do this.
Was it just because he was a good person or was it because of something else?
Mo Ze Chen turned the hand that he just shook Chu Huai's hand with and he couldn't help looking it over. But no matter how closely he looked, he wasn't able to find anything strange with it.
Ying Ling on the side saw this and she knitted her brows. After a moment of hesitating, she said, "Darling, you should be careful during the match. I know what kind of personality that Chu Huai has, but it's like he's a completely different person today."
Lulu normally would have called out Ying Ling for calling Mo Ze Chen "darling", but she was worried about him too, so she ignored it this one time.
Mo Ze Chen didn't say anything for a while, but then he turned to them with a smile and said, "It'll be fine, I still have my trump cards."
The two girls were taken aback by this before they both revealed confident smiles.
Mo Ze Chen had really been too handsome when he said this.
It took another hour for their match to start because before this, the twelve great factions had held exhibition matches between people who had been eliminated earlier, as well as the third place match between Dian Lun and the person Chu Huai defeated. That was also the reason why Ying Ling had been able to escape Dian Lun following her to come bother Mo Ze Chen.
Once Dian Lun's match was over, he immediately came over to find Ying Ling which caused her to run away.
Even after an entire day, she still hadn't processed how she would treat Dian Lun, so for now, she chose not to face him.
This gave Mo Ze Chen and Lulu some time alone before his match started.
Once it was time, Mo Ze Chen and Chu Huai were called onto the stage.
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder through the corridor until they reached the arena where they were hit with a burst of cheers.
Well, there were cheers for one person and jeers for the other.
It wasn't hard to figure out who received what.
However, both Mo Ze Chen and Chu Huai ignored this as they took their places on stage.
The referees that were presiding over this match weren't like the other referees. The referees that had been brought in were an expert from the Hunters Organization and the Chu Family respectively.
This had been done so that they could ensure the safety of the contestants, as well as making sure that the calls from the referees would be fair.
But of course, the main thing was keeping the contestants safe.
In a pinch, the referees would disregard the match to save the contestant from their faction. After all, if the contestant could reach the final round like this, there was no doubt that they were one of the top experts of the younger generation from their respective faction.
So the faction would spare no expense in keeping them safe.
There was only a moment of silence between the two of them before they both nodded at the referees to start the match. Seeing this, the referees didn't keep anyone waiting as they suddenly raised their hands and called the start of the match.
As soon as the match started, both Mo Ze Chen and Chu Huai suddenly jumped out at each other with their weapons, slashing at each other.
There was an intense clash between the two of them before both of them were pushed back to their starting positions. However, they didn't remain still for long as they started running around, sending attacks out at each other.
Everyone in the stand was shocked to see this, but they quickly started cheering when they saw this.
This was what they had wanted to see in a final match, but they had been expecting something different since it was Mo Ze Chen who had made it into the final match. The way that he had fought before had given them matches that were completely different from any that they had experienced before.
It wasn't to say that they were bad matches, it just didn't give them the excitement that they wanted.
But now that Mo Ze Chen was fighting the way that they wanted, naturally they were filled with excitement.
Of course, for some people that had sharper eyes and knew what was happening, they were able to easily tell what was going on here.
It was an illusion.
The fight that they were currently being shown was an illusion.
However, even though he knew that it was an illusion, Lin Fan wasn't able to see through it. This illusion was much stronger than he had expected, so he couldn't see what was happening to the real Mo Ze Chen.
As for Angela, she would have been able to see it, but if she did, she would have to use a part of her real power and that would leak her real aura, revealing her to the people around her.
The people here were some of the top figures in the twelve great factions, since they wanted to show how important this tournament was to their twelve great factions. It wouldn't take much to reveal herself and revealing herself to these people would be disastrous.
So she just sat there beside Lin Fan, but her brows were also knitted.
After all, Xiao Bai was hidden by this illusion along with Mo Ze Chen.
If she couldn't see him, she didn't know what was happening to Xiao Bai.
What if he was in danger?
If he was, it was certain that she wouldn't let the person who put him in danger off.
Inside of the illusion, Chu Huai and Mo Ze Chen weren't fighting at all.
Mo Ze Chen could see the two illusions of him and Chu Huai fighting around him, but that just made him focus his attention on Chu Huai.
He narrowed his eyes to look at him as he asked, "Who are you?"
