"What exactly was that sword move? It was too fast; I couldn't see it clearly!"
"It wasn't just fast. Did you see it almost broke the barrier? Those people in front nearly jumped up in fright!"
...
"How is this Demon Capital Academy student so strong?"
"Yeah, with this, our Demon Academy has lost, sigh!"
...
As Ji Xuan conceded, the students in the audience began to discuss fervently.
They were both astonished by the power of the Anode Divine Spear and disheartened by Ji Xuan's sudden defeat.
Meanwhile, among the Demon Capital Academy team, everyone was both surprised and delighted.
"We won!"
"Second place!"
"As expected of Su Yuan, to have such a move—too strong!"
"Liu Cunhao, you can enter the Holy Spring now. Congratulations!"
"All thanks to Su Yuan, all thanks to Su Yuan, hahaha!"
...
Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian, and others were elated, seemingly even more pleased than if they had won the match themselves.
