Chapter 328: Another First Match
As the teacher from the Black Crystal Empire finished shouting...
Saint Luni had already stabbed the young black orc countless times with her sword!
The incredibly sharp sword beams effortlessly pierced through the black orc youth’s body and head!
Turning the defenseless black orc youth into a pincushion!
What was even more shocking...
The space around him seemed completely frozen, and even though he was pierced by countless sword beams, no blood flowed out.
But any spectator with eyes could see that the black orc youth's pupils had completely dimmed, indicating he was dead.
"I want to file a complaint!"
"We had already chosen to surrender, why did your contestant still kill him!?"
Watching his country's number one seed being humiliated and killed, the tall and burly black orc teacher roared in anger.
The referee remained expressionless and indifferent.
He coldly said, "Once on the stage, whether to surrender or not is entirely up to the contestant's own will. Any external decisions are not considered valid by us!"
"Please read the competition rules carefully before participating, and don't shout here!"
These words made the already dark-faced black orc teacher even more sullen.
But he couldn't argue.
Because he knew, the rules were indeed like that!
Just as Norton gave no chance for his opponent to surrender and directly killed them!
Any external voices cannot represent the contestant's will.
After all, if they could, then if Prince St. Louis shouted 'the Holy Light Empire surrenders' halfway through, what would that mean?
Saint Luni would be furious.
While the referee and the teacher from the Black Crystal Empire were confronting each other.
Suddenly, the audience erupted into another extreme uproar!
On the stage, Princess Saint Luni had already discarded the sword stained with black orc blood!
Then she slowly spread her arms!
As if traveling from ancient times, an ominous black phantom emitting intense death energy appeared behind Princess Saint Luni!
This black phantom held a huge scythe, surrounded by dense death energy, making it impossible for others to see its face!
But anyone who saw this scene felt that this phantom was the legendary Grim Reaper!
"Oh my god!! This..."
"Is this the Grim Reaper?"
"You're telling me she's the saintess of the Light Church?"
"This seems like dark magic, right?"
"Yes, does anyone know what this skill is called?"
"No idea... never heard of it!"
Compared to the shocked and noisy audience.
Ling Zhan, as a spectator, was much calmer.
'Soul Stealer Shadow'!
[Soul Stealer Shadow (S-): Dark mage skill, consumes mana, summons an ominous shadow to slice and steal part of the opponent's soul.]
1. Targets whose origin spirit body is successfully cut and stolen by this skill will suffer irreversible soul damage.
2. If the target's overall combat strength is higher than the caster's, the skill will fail.
Ling Zhan, who never forgot to browse various data books during training, was familiar with this divine-level skill used by Princess Saint Luni.
The dual innate talents of light and dark allowed her to easily master any light and dark magic skills.
Facing the black orc youth, the enemy of women, Princess Saint Luni was extremely enraged.
The black orc youth, who had just been killed and whose origin spirit body had just floated out, was terrified, not even having time to surrender...
The scythe of the Soul Stealer Shadow had already slashed through the origin spirit body of the black orc youth.
The excruciating soul pain made him scream miserably.
"The opponent has already lost the ability to fight, you've won!"
The referee finally stepped in to stop Princess Saint Luni.
In the preparation area of the Black Crystal Empire, the teacher's face was full of anger, about to roar again.
But he was stopped by a female black orc beside him, who gently shook her head.
This was the sin their ancestors brought upon themselves through their bloodthirsty and plundering ways.
Now it was up to them, the descendants, to endure the world's anger.
This was the price the Black Crystal Empire had to pay for its own mistakes.
"I announce, the winner of this match is Princess Saint Luni!"
As the referee's words fell.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
The 12 to 6 round was completely over.
Each group now had only 6 people left.
Next, it would be the 6 to 3 matches.
At that time, among the remaining three, one would be extremely lucky to draw a bye and advance directly to the top 16 without competing.
It’s worth mentioning...
That in Group A, where Ling Zhan was, there were no more strong opponents left.
In the matches of the eight groups, each group generally had 2-3 top contenders for the championship.
When the audience first saw the lineup of Group A.
They had confidently concluded that if Prince Saint Louis didn’t clash with Andy, both would definitely advance.
But unexpectedly, Ling Zhan, the dark horse, emerged.
Not only did he completely kill the second seed of Fusang Country, Ichikawa Ichiro.
He also eliminated the strong contestants Prince Saint Louis and Andy Haldan.
This was simply ridiculous.
"Next, we will begin the scheduling for the 6 to 3 group matches!"
"Let's see the match schedule for Group A, the first match is..."
"OH! My god! The first match is still that non-specialist!"
As the official commentator announced this.
The audience, who had been somewhat fatigued from watching many matches, suddenly brightened their eyes and once again showed a look of enthusiastic anticipation.
Four rounds of matches, and this guy was the first match in all of them!
They didn't know whether to call it good or bad luck!
"And his opponent this time is the fifth seed from the Moon Wheel Empire, Loya!"
When the official commentator announced this, the originally highly expectant audience let out a collective disappointed groan.
Why was it the fifth seed from a weak country!
There were no strong contestants left in Group A now!
Because the strong ones had already been eliminated by this non-specialist!
The girl named 'Loya' first showed a look of despair, then gritted her teeth, her face full of determination.
Her companions beside her were already sighing in resignation!
