After the second battle, my popularity with the public increased tremendously.
After all, sudden reversals are always preferred. Seeing someone weaker defeat someone stronger was something that many people liked.
That was the reason why there were so many stories of youths overcoming countless obstacles to finally defeat powerful evil bosses in the end.
To be honest, I prefer stories about OP super characters sweeping through all the enemies in their path.
Even better if the OP character is usually underestimated. The public's reaction when they realized the person they thought was weak had suddenly become the strongest was some of the scenes I liked the most.
I know it's cliche, but hey, there's a reason why cliches are repeated so many times.
Laughing inwardly to my comical thoughts, I watched the battle left over from this round as I waited for my turn.
I can confirm something thanks to that.
“So all others do not accept, yes.”
None of the favorites showed signs of poisoning.
In fact, only one of them showed any signs, but he was knocked out at the first fight by an opponent weaker than him due to the 'mistakes' he committed.
In other words, am I the last person they should take care of?
I can only smile wryly when I think of that.
Mmm. Alan should think I'm tired by now. He probably thought that my exhaustion plus the poison effect meant that I would not be able to win the next battle.
I think I should put on a good show.
At that moment, Louis's battle was over. His enemy was another seventh-tier practitioner, one of the few survivors of the last round.
As expected, he won easily after one strike. Well, the difference between their combat power was simply too great.
The next enemy will be one of the favourites, but I don't think he'll have any problems. After all, his enemy was most likely already bought by Alan, so he would only show a good one and let Louis win in the end.
As for me, I guess I should be worried about my opponent during this round.
When I got on stage, my opponent was already waiting for me there.
This time, my opponent is a tier 9 practitioner.
However, when I saw her, I frowned.
With just a quick glance, I realized that something was wrong.
The power, it feels too wild.
As if it were going to rage.
Furrowing my brows, I observed the young man curiously.
Immediately, I could not help but laugh wryly in my mind.
Shit, to think they're using this.
(Last will).
It is a banned drug known for its ability to improve the ability of people who consume it for a short time.
However, the reason it was banned was due to serious side effects.
A person who consumes it should spend two or three months in bed after that.
The reason why it was known as the (Last Will) was because some ordinary soldiers consumed it when they thought they were going to die. They used it to briefly increase their strength and kill as many enemies as possible before succumbing to the side effects and waiting for death.
I wonder how much he paid her to make her use this medicine voluntarily.
However, the effect is pretty good.
With the help of this medicine, the young man's cultivation was from the early stages of the ninth layer to almost the tenth layer.
It was such a sudden increase that where the young man was was was somewhat out of control. That was the reason why I realized something was wrong when I looked at him.
While I was pondering the situation, the emperor looked at us.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Yes." Yeah."
We both answered at the same time.
A second later, the emperor nodded.
"Start!"
As soon as the voice of the emperor sounded, a powerful mana erupted from my opponent.
Wild mana spread throughout the arena, causing many spectators to turn pale or cough up blood.
However, the young man in front of me ignored him. He just looked at me with an expressionless look and raised his rapier.
Then, with a gentle step, he stabbed towards me.
His movements were as light as feathers, and his demeanor was elegant. But it combined with the wild aura generated by the wild mana, created a strange aura filled with danger and nobility that swarmed towards me.
In front of the attack, I put on a serious expression. Stepping aside, I dodged the stab as I launched a punch towards my enemy.
The young man narrowed his eyes and shook his wrist. Immediately, it was as if his rapier had come to life. Like a snake, it crept in the air and appeared before my eyes.
Moreover, the wild mana around it erupted creating and a sharp sword intent that cut towards my body.
“Ck!” I snorted and crossed my hands, releasing streams of mana that flew sword intent.
Then, with a gentle movement, the back of my right hand swept over the rapier sword as my left hand formed a claw that pointed towards the neck of my enemy.
But when my right hand touched the rapier, the rampaging mana within it erupted once more, stopping my defensive movements and letting the rapier proceed to my face.
Within a second, his rapier appeared before my eyes.
I gritted my teeth and leaned my face to the side, barely avoiding the rapier as my claws turned into a hand sword that swung into the chest of the young man.
However, the young man only stepped aside to avoid it. Immediately, his gentle and small steps created countless shadows that swung their rapiers towards me.
(Thousand Shadows)! A technique that was famously lethal in combat!
But all these shadows are fake. I could feel that the real him had appeared to my right, stabbing his rapier towards my ribcage.
"God!" I shouted, releasing the mana stream from my body and flying the shadow. At the same time, I twisted my body abruptly and almost avoided the rapier once again.
The young man furrowed his brows and unleashed another attack, trying to seize this opportunity. But this time, I jumped back and broke away from him.
Then, I looked at him with a frown as I gasped for breath.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like I'm too tired to continue.
My enemy, on the other hand, stood quietly in front of me as an aura of wild power surrounded him.
