Supreme Victory

Upon hearing this, Dui Dui's expression turned grim, and he instantly became displeased.

Supreme continued, "Dui Dui, make your choice!"

After a moment of silence, Dui Dui gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I concede, but I'll remember what happened today! One day, I'll make you pay the price!"

Supreme's face lit up, but he didn't release Light Star; instead, he looked at Blue Spirit, waiting for her to announce the victor.

Blue Spirit leaped onto the stage and declared, "The qualifier is, Seventh Area, Supreme!"

Only after Blue Spirit announced the victor did Supreme finally breathe a sigh of relief and say to Light Star, "It's alright, Light Star, come out!"

Buzz!

Another burst of light shone, and Light Star emerged from Dui Dui's pet.

This maneuver stunned everyone below.

"I never expected such a move; it's truly an eye-opener!"

"What do you mean 'such a move'? This is clearly a sneaky move; this Supreme is a sneaky one, truly skilled at underhanded tactics."

"You're being a bit unreasonable. Didn't Supreme say, 'A black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat'? Even Lord Blue Spirit has tacitly approved, yet you all are unhappy."

The crowd's evaluations of Supreme were mixed, both praise and criticism.

After returning to his seat, Supreme let out a long breath.

Ye Chen chuckled, "Brother Wu Shang, you're quite something; I never expected you to have such a move. It's truly unexpected."

Supreme shook his head with a bitter smile, "Sigh, what can I say? This was my trump card, and I used it in the very first match. It will be difficult to use it again from now on."

That was true; trump cards were usually saved for the most crucial moments. Supreme's immediate use meant he had exposed his trump card, making it easier for others to guard against. However, there was no other option; if Supreme hadn't used it this time, he would have faced a crushing defeat.

The battles continued, and the first round quickly concluded.

The Jiangbei three brothers all managed to pass the trials; these three fellows truly had some skill.

Blue Spirit announced loudly, "The first round of battles has concluded. Everyone, please rest for a day. Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, the second round of battles will begin. Those who won can prepare well, and those who didn't qualify can return. If you don't wish to return, you may continue to observe the battles here."

Upon hearing Blue Spirit's words, everyone cupped their hands and left in an orderly fashion.

It was now seven o'clock in the evening, and Ye Chen, led by Supreme, arrived at a room.

Ye Chen had observed every battle just now very carefully, memorizing each person's fighting style and their strengths.

He summoned the Alchemist and the others to discuss some matters together.

"Did you all see the battles just now?" Ye Chen asked them.

"We saw them."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then tell me your thoughts. If you were to fight against those victors, what good methods would you use to win?"

"I think these people are all outstanding individuals who have pushed their strength to the limit, especially in the application of skills and the mastery of attributes, maximizing their advantages in certain areas. So I believe we should focus on their weaknesses. For example, with Jiangshui Remnant Blade, one cannot confront him head-on. Although Jiangshui Remnant Blade is fierce, he is quite arrogant, so we can approach from..."

The Alchemist analyzed for a while, and his analysis was very logical and insightful, thoroughly dissecting some of the individuals.

Ye Chen chuckled, "As expected of the leader among the four; this analysis is very reasonable."

The Alchemist smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Dark Ji listened very intently from the side.

"Thank you, Big Sister. Your analysis has truly enlightened me, and I feel more confident about the upcoming battles."

The Alchemist chuckled, "It's nothing. Don't worry about the level difference. If it's really difficult, and you encounter someone with a much higher level, I'll give you a BUFF!"

"Haha, good, Big Sister is brilliant!"

After discussing tactics for a while longer, Ye Chen prepared to go to sleep.

The first round of competition had no interruptions and lasted for three or four days.

The second round of competition would not take as long, as the number of participants had been halved.

The next morning, Ye Chen and Supreme arrived at the arena together.

They sat down in their original seats.

This time, the number of people had decreased by two-fifths, leaving only those participating in the competition and some friends of the contestants who came to observe the battles.

At nine fifty, Blue Spirit leaped to the center of the arena and, as before, drew the combat numbers.

Ye Chen drew number eight, blue.

Supreme drew number seventeen, green.

This time, there were only a little over fifty numbers, so their battle times were relatively early.

"Numbers drawn. Please welcome number one to the stage."

Two people walked towards the arena.

"Fifth Area, Feng Han!"

"Eighth region, Tong Zhen!"

Both were Level 73. Feng Han had water attribute, and Tong Zhen had earth attribute.

Both their pets had relatively common attributes, and their levels and pet ranks were the same.

This match, relatively speaking, was fairer, a true evenly matched duel.

The battle began, and the two first engaged to test each other's strength.

The first exchange resulted in both taking damage.

Both their eyes became incredibly sharp, and they focused with utmost concentration.

At such similar levels and strengths,

The deciding factor could only be one thing: who was slightly stronger.

The people below watched with great interest.

Supreme stroked his chin and said, "These two are interesting; they're fighting back and forth, with neither gaining an advantage or having a disadvantage."

"Hmm, but I feel Tong Zhen has a better chance of winning. In a 1v1 battle, earth-attribute pets still have a greater advantage," Ye Chen said, narrowing his eyes.

Supreme nodded, largely agreeing with Ye Chen's view.

Ten minutes later, both their health points had dropped below one million.

Their health was almost identical, with Feng Han's pet having slightly more.

Both looked at each other with serious expressions.

"Come on, one last strike! Let's see who has the last laugh!" Feng Han said sharply, a glint in his eyes.

Tong Zhen nodded, "Come on!"

Tong Zhen's pet roared, its body instantly swelling to twice its size, muscles bulging all over its body, and its two massive fists glowing with an earthy yellow light.

That punch looked incredibly domineering.

Feng Han's pet let out a low growl, and countless water droplets spun continuously around it, forming a water vortex.

A water sword floated in front of Feng Han.

Both simultaneously activated their attacks and defenses.

The moment of truth was about to arrive.

"Come on! Win or lose, it's all in this moment!"

A yellow and a blue light emerged, colliding with each other.

After the clash, the two swapped positions and stopped moving.

The yellow light on Tong Zhen's pet disappeared, and the water droplets around Feng Han's pet scattered.
