“Both parties are testing the waters on stage, and their attacks are not fierce!” Xiao Yulv said as he sat at the casters’ desk. “But it is obvious that Zhu Yanxiao is at the disadvantage and is still looking for a chance to attack!”

“It seems that Mr. Mu made precise predictions,” Xiao Yulv continued, “Everyone knows that Zhu Yanxiao is an ordinary player, and he is like a civilian compared to some high-level rich players.”

“By now, the masters among the ordinary players, such as the King of Rangers, Crazy Butcher, and Male Fighter Fu Jianghe, have done well in the matches, but the overall strength of these civilian players is still no match for that of the most powerful players.”

“Now, Zhu Yanxiao is one of the last few civilian warriors left in this competition and represents the last hope of all ordinary players. But it is a pity that he encountered Wang Xie, a super powerful opponent!” Xiao Yulv said, “Even though I hope that some ordinary players will stand out and obtain great rankings, we have to be practical.”

“You are right. Although to reach some balance, the competition has restricted the use of pink godly equipment over level 51, the gap still exists between the two groups.”

“Zhu Yanxiao is obviously at the disadvantage in terms of equipment,” Mu Donglai said with a nod, “We can see that Contestant Zhu Yanxiao has chosen this godly weapon which is a lightsabre. It is a pitch-black lightsabre which is what we call ‘Black Light.’”

“We don’t see any problem in his choice of equipment, but we heard that he had just acquired this Black Light not long ago, and he was still not too familiar with this new weapon in the previous matches,” Xiao Yulv continued, “Well, this will have a great impact on his performance in the competition...”

“Contestant Zhu Yanxiao is still looking for a chance to attack; he’s moving around his opponent on the outer range.”

“Hmph! This Grandmaster is not as strong as we expected.” The outlanders began to comment.

Carl said with a wine cup in his hand, “Indeed, compared with the great performance of one of the supreme masters, who is being called Wind God, this guy named Zhu Yanxiao is weak.”

“He’s scrambling around on the arena like a mouse; when will he stop running?” Kevin was getting a little impatient.

Mr. Fang said casually as his face lightly twitched, “Don’t say anything if you don’t understand, alright? After all, it’s not only a competition of skills but a mental game as well.”

“Ugh?” The outlanders looked at him contemptuously, thinking, You’re a low-level native; do you think you know more than us?

At this moment, a yell came from the casters’ desk, “Although Contestant Zhu Yanxiao has been evasive, Contestant Wang Xie still caught up with him!”

A sense of displeasure appeared in Jessica’s pale golden eyes, and she replied, “Shut up! We don’t need your opinion!”

Ugh!? What’s wrong with these people of the Ultimate West Realm?! Fang Qi thought to himself and toyed with the idea of finding their leaders and beating them so that they learn a lesson.

“As everyone knows, male mages can use Teleport. It’s puzzling that a male slayer is trying to run circles with a male mage. This strategy seems strange...” Xiao Yulv commented.

“It’s indeed not wise.”

Hearing the casters’ words, Jessica added, “Did you hear that? This combat strategy is not wise!”

Mr. Fang was at a loss for words.

The moment Jessica said it, the two casters exclaimed, “Phantom Slash! Contestant Zhu Yanxiao turned back and is going to fight head-on!”

“It’s a suicidal attack! We can see that Contestant Zhu Yanxiao chose to attack at the risk of his life!”

On the big screen, Zhu Yanxiao created a curtain of horrifying sword shadows as if his sword was a phantom! The whole screen was filled with purple sword shadows!

“He missed! Contestant Wang Xie used his agile movement and moved out of his attack range! Phantom Slash missed!” Xiao Yulv yelled, “This is a big mistake. Contestant Wang Xie will take this opportunity to give his opponent a heavy blow!”

“Sure enough, Wang Xie had chanted the empowerment spells!”

“Ahh—!” The audience screamed, waiting for the thrilling moment!

The outlanders stood up again and shouted, “Vortex Hurricane! Use Vortex Hurricane!”

They all shrieked.

With a dark expression, Mr. Fang reminded them since he was feeling kind, “If he uses Vortex Hurricane at this moment, his opponent will instantly use Ultimate Slay: Tempest (the awakening skill of Grand Masters). He wouldn’t get any benefits from it.”

“Besides, Zhu Yanxiao is about to fight back...”

“Fight back? How can he fight back?” Jessica said contemptuously, “Don’t say things that you don’t understand...”

“Where’s Zhu Yanxiao?! What do we see?! Aerial Chain Slash!” They heard a yell, “Zhu Yanxiao used Phantom Slash as a diversion to block his opponent’s vision and sense of wind! Now that Aerial Chain Slash fell from the sky, it caught Wang Xie off guard! It hit!”

“Upward Slash, Secret Sword Art, and Gore Cross! Ahh! Contestant Wang Xie is caught in a close-range battle with a slayer!” Xiao Yulv howled, “Can Contestant Wang Xie get away from him?!”

“Backstep Cutter and then Secret Sword Art! Contestant Zhu Yanxiao didn’t want to knock his opponent into the air. Instead, he suppressed Wang Xie using combos with this method! My goodness! His attacks are so fast that Contestant Wang Xie was suppressed on the ground! He can do nothing but dodge! He can’t fight back!”

“Contestant Wang Xie is in danger! His HP is dropping continuously!”

“Wind Blaster! Contestant Wang Xie withstood one sword attack and took the opportunity to push away Contestant Zhu Yanxiao with Wind Blaster by force! Headwind! He’s fighting back! Contestant Wang Xie grabbed this chance and drew Zhu Yanxiao back toward him with great wind power!

“No! What’s Contestant Zhu Yanxiao doing?!” With an exclamation, the young man with the black lightsabre on the screen was drawn by the wind power and flew toward Wang Xie. At this moment, he stabbed his lightsabre forward with both hands on the handle!

“Fierce Strike? But he’s too far away to use this skill!”

Suddenly, the black lightsabre’s aura expanded, and it broke open the gust and stabbed toward Wang Xie with vicious force!

“It’s Thrust! My goodness! How could he think of using Thrust at this moment?!” After all, this skill wasn’t very useful, and few people thought of learning it...?

“Wang Xie’s counterattack was interrupted!” another exclamation sounded.

The audience was stunned as they watched the scene and this flash of sword energy.

If not for this event called an E-Sports competition, no one would witness such a thrilling performance!

“Charge Crash! He wins! Contestant Zhu Yanxiao actually won! How is this possible! Wang Xie hasn’t gotten the chance to use his best attack, Vortex Hurricane! How did he lose?!”
