This was the same thing that happened in every single match that Bi Qing had fought before.
When her enemy made a move or before her enemy could make a move, she would suddenly disappear on the spot.
Then whenever she appeared again…she would have her fist out and the enemy would…fall.
This time wasn't an exception.
The sound of the zither that had filled the air suddenly stopped when Bi Qing appeared again.
When she appeared, she was right in front of the young miss who had the zither in front of her. Her fist was right above the zither and pasted to the young miss' stomach.
The young miss couldn't help revealing a shocked look as she looked up at Bi Qing who had suddenly appeared, but there wasn't anything that she could do. It took all her energy just to look up at Bi Qing and after looking at her, those eyes rolled back and she fell to the ground.
The referee had also been stunned by Bi Qing's sudden appearance, but he quickly reacted and went over to the young miss on the ground. This was his third time seeing this, so he was slowly getting more and more used to it.
After taking her pulse and making sure that she was just unconscious, he let out a sigh of relief and declared Bi Qing the winner.
This time, Bi Qing didn't walk off right away.
Instead, she cupped her hands in front of her and gave a slight bow to the young miss before saying, "You let me win."
Only then did she walk off the stage.
This was completely different from how she acted before.
Instead of showing complete disdain for her opponent like she had done in her previous two matches, she actually showed respect to this young miss with the zither.
Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they saw this.
But of course, not a single person dared to question her.
At the same time though, they couldn't help looking at the young miss with the zither.
Instead of being sent flying like the other two had been, she had only been knocked out with a precise blow to the stomach. So compared to the other two, she had gotten off lightly.
Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help feeling that they had been wrong about Bi Qing.
They had thought that she was someone who was naturally arrogant and looked down on all of the other contestants, but now that didn't seem to be the case.
It seemed like the only reason why she had been acting that way before was because she was responding to how she was being treated by the other contestants.
If someone treated her with disdain, it wasn't as if she would show them kindness.
But if someone didn't treat her with disdain, then there was no reason for her to show disdain.
This time, the young miss with the zither had taken her seriously and released her strongest attack right away. She didn't dare look down on Bi Qing after realizing her true power, so in a sense, she was respecting the power that Bi Qing had.
Since Bi Qing had been shown respect, there was no reason for her not to show respect.
After realizing this, they understood that they had been completely wrong about Bi Qing…
She wasn't someone that was arrogant by nature, she was just someone that treated others how they treated her.
There were many who were now looking at her with eyes filled with respect.
When the seeded contestants saw this, they couldn't help feeling bitter inside and a bit jealous. After all, they perceived this as the glory that they should be receiving and now it had been taken away by Bi Qing…
Still, there wasn't anything that they could do about it.
Since there was no damage caused by this fight, the second fight was started right away after this fight.
However, after the fight that they had just watched, it almost seemed like there was something missing from this fight. As the crowd was watching the fight between the young master who used lightning and the young miss who controlled flower petals, they felt that this fight wasn't as exciting as the previous fight.
So there was a distinct difference in cheers compared to before.
Both the young master and the young miss had ugly expressions on their faces, but there was nothing that they could do.
Both of them were still hiding their trump cards to use against Bi Qing in the final match.
So compared to the fight before where they went all out, this was much more tame and less exciting.
In the end, it was the young miss who used flower petals that won.
Even if the young master with lightning had endless waves of attacks, it didn't mean a thing if he couldn't hit his target. The young miss with the flower petals was able to dodge all of those attacks by creating illusions to throw him off.
Once he had exhausted himself by throwing all these lightning bolts, she was able to easily get behind him and knock him out with a single blow of her fan.
Just like this, the finals had been decided.
Of course, the one that had the uglier expression was the young miss who controlled the flower petals.
In fact, the young master who controlled lightning had a relieved look on his face when he realized that he wouldn't have to fight Bi Qing.
That was because winning the tournament was only one way to achieve their goal…
It would be easier if they won the tournament, but…when there was a monster like Bi Qing that they were matched with, it seemed almost impossible to do.
So it was better not to face her and get humiliated by her.
Once this match was set, everyone headed off to drink once more and celebrate.
Tomorrow would be the final match, so for these normal people, it was also one of the last chances that they would be able to celebrate.
Everyone in the city other than those who worked in the food and entertainment industry had been given a holiday because of this tournament. However, once the tournament was over, they would be expected to return to work.
That meant that the day of the finals which was tomorrow was their final day off.
Everyone wanted to enjoy this bit of vacation for as long as possible, so they went all out on this night before the finals.
After all, some people couldn't drink tomorrow since they had to get back to work the day after.
The city was completely filled with light and sound as everyone took to the streets to celebrate.
Everyone that is except for the seeded contestants.
All of them were currently in meetings since they were preparing for what would happen after the tournament.
Once the prize had been awarded, there would be many people who would try to steal the prize away. That included the seeded contestants who had been sent by the various sects and powers.
That was why they had hidden their trump cards all this time.
Throughout this night, there were many different meetings that had been held in this city. There were many different plans that had been made about what to do when Bi Qing won.
That was right, they had assumed that Bi Qing would win tomorrow, so they were planning accordingly.
This was just how dominating Bi Qing's performance had been.
But at the same time, they also considered the incident that had happened at the end of the second day.
The culprit who had caused this incident still hadn't shown themselves yet and they were still lurking out there somewhere. They didn't know when this person would make a move again, but one would think that it would be either during the finals or after the finals…
So they had to be prepared to deal with this person as well.
After all, no one had been able to see what had caused that explosion.
The experts that these seeded contestants had brought had been in the audience watching over them just in case there was danger to their lives, but these experts hadn't been able to see a thing when the explosion happened.
So they wouldn't be able to stop this mysterious culprit if they did choose to do something…
They had to come up with some kind of way of dealing with that mysterious culprit.
It was just too bad that even after a night of brainstorming, they weren't able to come up with anything…
All that they did was exhaust themselves by brooding over this.
When the next morning came, there were many people who looked exhausted as they came into the arena.
Whether it was partying all night or planning all night, everyone had spent quite a bit of energy doing what they needed to do.
But the moment that the two contestants came onto the stage, it was as if everyone had been injected with steroids as they were all filled with energy.
The cheers were deafening as the two contestants came into the arena.
However, just like before, they clearly had different expressions on their faces.
Bi Qing had a calm look on her face while the young miss who controlled flower petals had an ugly expression, just like the young miss who used the zither had.
She clearly didn't have a way to deal with Bi Qing just like the others.
But that didn't matter to the referee who started the fight still.
