In the colossal Transcendent tournament arena, only two people stood atop it, yet they reveled in the cheers of the entire venue, which continued unabated, prolonged and never-ending.
This battle had an entirely different outcome from the previous fight. In the last match, Robert had been ruthless, but Xu Mo eventually turned the tables and killed his opponent. This time, however, in a clash of titans, they seemed to develop a mutual respect. Xu Mo chose to hold back his final attack and was struck instead.
Such magnanimity was admiring. Everyone knew that if he had delivered that final blow, he would have claimed the top spot directly; even if he chose not to, one could say Tanis had won. The decision wasn’t in his hands anymore.
In that situation, Xu Mo decided to spare his opponent.
And Tanis, deeply impressed by Xu Mo, did not insist on taking the top spot. Instead, he raised Xu Mo’s hand, willingly taking second place.
Both were worthy of respect.
The finals of the Transcendent competition was also the most exciting duel. This year’s Transcendent tournament was full of twists and turns—who could have imagined that the ultimate victor would be Xu Mo, a name previously unheard of?
Almost everyone stood up, applauding them both.
The mechanical voice didn’t announce anything; it would have been drowned out anyway. There was no need for an announcement, for everyone already knew the outcome.
From beneath the ground, figures ascended into the sky, nine in total—the top ten competitors.
The champion of this Transcendent tournament was Xu Mo.
Tanis, second.
Prince from Camp Star took third.
As for Robert, who ranked fourth, he was dead.
Augustine, who ranked seventh, was also present. His gaze turned to Xu Mo, who occupied the highest position. His feelings were complex, considering the controversial Xu Mo had arrived at the final battleground with ninety-nine percent support and managed to win over Tanis, securing the championship of the Transcendent tournament.
For many years, students from the Capital Royal Academy had tried and failed to break the Alien Races’ monopoly. But now, someone not from the Academy Faction had done it. He not only broke the Alien Races’ monopoly on the top three spots, but defeated both the second and first seed to stand at the very top. No one could question the gold standard of his victory.
This triumph held an extraordinary significance for the entire Byron Star.
It showed that Alien Races, too, were not invincible.
And Xu Mo, he would become a totemic figure for a new generation, endowed with special meaning, a bright new star rising.
Two years ago, Ye Qiu gained immense prestige just by exhibiting strong Combat Power and challenging the top contestant.
This year, Xu Mo ascended to the pinnacle. From today, one could only imagine the extent of Xu Mo’s influence. Augustine dared not think about it; he felt envy mixed with admiration.
He had always aimed for the top three but never made it, whereas Xu Mo, someone he had never seen as a rival, had trampled over him and a series of top competitors to reach the highest peak.
Li Kaiyun and Lantis from the Capital Royal Academy were also present. The Royal Academy members, who had been eliminated by Xu Mo, had mixed feelings but also some relief.
With Xu Mo winning the championship, their previous defeats no longer seemed like disgraces.
They were all ousted by the champion, and there was no shame in losing to a better competitor.
In the stands, Xiao Qi and the others also stood up. Xiao Qi’s gaze shifted, looking at the cheerful Ye Qingdie next to her. She nudged Ye Qingdie’s arm and shouted, "Sister Butterfly, isn’t the prize money for first place in the Transcendent tournament a hundred million?"
Ye Qingdie’s gaze returned, and she smiled at him.

"Sister Butterfly, Xu Mo’s earnings are yours too, right? How about lending me some to spend," Xiao Qi continued.
"Go earn your own wage," Ye Qingdie called out loudly, in case her voice got lost in the noise.
"Ah…" Xiao Qi sighed. Ever since the golden couple came together, there was no longer room for him in this home.
Sun Xiaoxiao jumped around excitedly as if she herself had won the championship. Su Rou, Lin Jue, Olivia, and others also revealed smiles. Coming to the Capital’s Chuanxing City, he still reached the summit and the highest stage there was.
The people of Steel Dome City must be seeing this, right?
Indeed, the citizens of Steel Dome City were also immersed in jubilation. The man standing at the pinnacle was their prodigy from Steel Dome City, having defeated all the Capital’s talents and Alien Races to become the champion of the Capital’s Transcendent tournament.
Inside the castle, Zero also surreptitiously sat in front of a screen, watching the scene before her. She smiled again, a smile that was radiant. This time she did not suppress her smile but maintained it on her beautiful features, exceptionally beautiful.
With this, her decision to withdraw from the competition was undoubtedly the right one; if it had been her, she definitely could not have made it this far.
He was becoming more formidable by the day.
She wondered if her mom had seen this, and whether Mom and Qiong Shi would like him if they did.
She needed to work harder, or else she wouldn’t be able to beat him...
The Transcendent tournament arena.
Stark Hao was exceptionally excited; it seemed like he had struck gold by accident by finding a first-place contestant, proving he had an eye for talent.
The historic winner of this Transcendent tournament, Xu Mo, participated as a representative of the Stark Group. What did this mean? Stark Group, too, would be remembered along with the name Xu Mo.
"Dad, you decide how much to pay," Stark Hao said to the middle-aged man next to him. It was his father. As Xu Mo was representing Stark Group in the finals that day, Stark Group’s helmsman had to be there to witness it.
