CHAPTER 153: Final tournament (5)
While everyone was still hype from the first round the sound of the gong sounded again, announcing the start of the second round.
The first round would be Yu ling vs hong mei vs hua ling, the winner would be the first ranker while the losers would have a third match to determine the second and third ranker. Right after that Feng chen vs mo ling vs lady shan, the winner would automatically be the fourth ranker, same as the first the losers would have another match to determine the fifth and sixth rankers respectively.
The first round, hong mei wins against yu ling and hua ling, then yu ling lost against hua ling. The black mask holder ranking was finally finalized before dinner.
Hong mei ranks as the first black mask holder, mo ling second, Hua ling third, lady shan shou fourth, yu ling fifth, and feng chen sixth. Mo ling was the winner of the losers in the first round so she was eligible to challenge the losers of the winners in the first round. This rule is also applied for yu ling so he has a fourth match with lady shan shou.
Lady shan shou prove herself over and over again so she gained the acknowledgement of many practitioners.
Just right after the black mask holder's ranking tournament yu yue finally drop the bomb. This time it's more like a confirmation to the rumors spreading in the entire hundred flower city.
"everyone, as I said earlier I have an important announcement to make. But before that, I'd like to thank you all for participating in this marvelous event" yu yue stood at the center of the platform. She used her spirit qi to amplify her voice, it sounds soft but it actually reverberated at everyone's ear drums clearly like a thunderous bell.
Even though they already heard rumors about their new city lord, they were still shock silly. Although what she did was just a simple trick, it isn't possible without high cultivation. As she continued speaking nobody dared to breath loudly and listen to her with adept attention.
"as you might have already guess, our city is caught up in a whirlwind of threats from all angles. The five great clans agreed to my request to militarized the entire city, thus changing the free nature of this city into a regulated system…" while she was speaking the crowd's expression change and they voice out their opinions spontaneously.
"what would happen to us then? Would we be like the blue thunder city? Force to served their despotic and tyrannical city lord?" someone said dispiritedly, they now have forlorn expressions. Although they were outrage they didn't explode on the spot, they still remembered the might of the people under her command.
"I know everyone's concern, however I'll assure you that although hundred flower city would be under a militarized system I won't force you all to pledge your loyalty.
L I'll swear an oath not to harm nor to force a single soul with tyranny, you just have to vow to protect this city, help each other, get along, follow the instructions of the five great clans, improve yourselves and lastly do not disclose any information outside. The punishment for those traitors is absolute death, I won't tolerate betrayal. If you aren't willing to do so then you can leave hundred flower city, I just want to protect this city I hope you all would do so as well with me" she said solemnly, her voice powerful and resonating.
