The crowd erupted. Cheers, cries, disbelief—it all blended into one deafening storm.
This is what they were waiting for—a fight that could have very well been the final of the Competition.
The fight exceeded expectations and turned out to be one of the fiercest matches yet.
Who could have expected that the arrogant Jin Yuanzhan would be so defiant, so unwilling to accept defeat, that he would even risk his life?
They had gained fresh insight into the true extent of Nie Fengzhuo's power.
The medics rushed onto the stage, lifting Jin Yuanzhan's broken body. His flames had gone out at last, leaving only faint trails of smoke in their wake.
Before Jin Yuanzhan's body could even be removed from the arena, a sharp, commanding voice rang out from the stands.
"This is unacceptable!"
All eyes turned toward the source—an elder of the Azure Sun Holy Sect, his robes golden like molten sunlight, eyes blazing with righteous anger.
