The entire scene was heated, as everyone continuously watched the match at the edge of their seats.
The battle stayed exciting and very much heated as they watched Hayden and Mhal Fu fight endlessly.
The duo even ended up entering one of the buildings, fighting and doing the most inside.
And the audience, who were now NPCs, only watched delightedly while cheering and praising the duo.
Hayden was thrown into the building wall, Mhal Fu was thrown onto the table, and so many thrilling scenes occurred with the duo taking their fight upstairs and eventually jumping off the stony cliff building, fighting mid-air and landing hard on the floor like crazy.
~Boom!
The entire ground cracked and rumbled so hard that those within the buildings could feel the minor tremors and vibrations from the fall outside.
Everyone's eyes remained glued to the scene, fearing to blink and miss it all.
Of course, some were still analyzing the battle too.
After all, the skills displayed by both Hayden and Mhal Fu were too impressive to ignore.
Those watching discovered a few more skills that Kratos had and secretly decided to find them in the Park's Pavilion and learn them.
Likewise, some were looking at Scorpion's skill sets as well.
~Bam! Slash! Pah!
The battle continued for a while more until Hayden finally delivered his final blow.
"Scorpion Sting!... Get Over Here!"
~Swish!
Like the poisonous and swift end of a scorpion's tail, Mhal Fu was stabbed and felt the gushing pain erode his entire body.
And because his H.P was now 0%, he felt the terrifying agony of death, as if he was truly going to die any moment from now.
But why did the pressure of death here feel way heavier than the deaths he felt in the other Realms?
His entire breathing turned heavy as his eyes started feeling heavy.
Additionally, the feeling of Scorpion's poison spreading deeper and deeper into his body made him feel numb and frozen in misery.
His hair became wet with sweat as it clung to his face firmly.
And soon, the voice echoed again, freeing Mhal Fu from his agony.
[Battle #212... Hayden Ghin Wins!]
Hayden's face was publicized on the official system broadcast under match 212.
And all around the scene, massive screens also appeared out of thin air.
As if in slow motion, Hayden's heroic image was captured by the system.
That's right.
The moment it was announced that he had won, Hayden took out his bladed chain and whipped it around, doing Scorpion's victory pose.
And in his mind, he kept saying the words: 'Fatality!... Scorpion Wins!... Flawless victory!'
Well, it wasn't per se a flawless victory.
After all, when he killed off Mhal Fu, his H.P was at 11%.
So any slip-up, and it would've been Mahl Fu winning instead.
So flawless victory was a stretch here. But it felt so cool saying it, no?
...
The elders watched the scene below and smiled.
"Congratulations, Sect Master, for getting such a talented disciple."
"Sect Master, this disciple of yours is truly a talented seed."
Leisho, who was being praised, calmly waved his hand casually: "No need to overpraise him. I think he's just okay."
Everyone listened to Leisho and almost rolled their eyes heavenwards.
'Sect Master, you say that now. But who doesn't know that you're proud of this disciple of yours? Look! You can't even stop smiling since his victory!'
Everyone chuckled as the audience clapped and cheered merrily.
People also praised Mhal Fu as well.
Even though he lost this match, everyone could see that he too was a strong contender and very talented.
"Who here also thinks that Senior Mhal will be a very strong contender in the competitions? He's just too strong, right?"
Countless people were talking about Mhal Fu's performance, appreciating his moves, skills and even trying to see if they could learn and gain inspiration too
As for Mhal Fu, who had been released from his agony, he finally stood up and took deep breaths when all the pain disappeared.
For a moment, he thought he would die in real life.
That feeling was just too unpleasant!
With that, Mhal Fu quickly shook Hayden's hand: "Little Brother, you are indeed as the rumors say. Strong!"
Hayden smiled: "The same goes for you, senior brother. You almost had me back there.
If not for my sudden move that dropped 8% of your H.P, I would've been the one to lose."
Everyone watched the brother bond and smiled... especially the elders.
Who didn't like seeing geniuses bond?
.
[World Changing in 3... 2... 1...]
~Swish!
In a blink of an eye, the world scene changed back to how it used to be in Wenji Town.
And following that, Hayden and Mhal Fu's cards vibrated.
Hayden looked at his card that now showed his number of wins and nodded.
Well, everything was stored on the cards.
~Ding!
[Contenders! Please leave the scene and head onto your next match location.
World view changing in 1 minute... 59 seconds... 58... 57... ]
Hayden and Mhal Fu listened and dashed out of the scene together.
"Hey, little brother Hayden, let's train downtime together. Contact me later on my card. My username is TheGodlyMhal"
With that, Mhal Fu dashed towards a different direction and Hayden towards another.
Both parties felt thrilled with this sort of competition style.
It all felt so exciting and more lifelike than just battling on a podium.
Hayden's eyes twinkled with expectation while dashing towards his next fight location.
He wondered what it would look like.
Would he be flying! Would he be on a snowy mountain?
What scenes would he see next?
Undoubtedly, this was the best competition of all!
.
Like so, the days went by, with various competitions flashing by.
And in a blink of an eye, the 9th day had passed.
Yes. The competition was finally over, and several winners had been tallied and chosen!
But apart from the happy winners, another happy person was Chu Che.
~Ding.
[My Darling host. Congratulations on completing your side-missions. You can now receive your rewards!]
