"Xia's representative team, contestant Lin Yi wins!"

Announced the referee loudly.

Lin Yi walked slowly off the stage.

Incidentally, he glanced at the newly acquired limited skill.

The mechanics in all aspects were almost identical to Singer's original [Endless Rage].

Only because it was transformed into a limited skill by [Touch of Reincarnation], its effects were discounted.

The time for the locked health was reduced from 90 seconds to 1 minute.

The attack power and attribute bonuses were also halved.

But Lin Yi was already very satisfied.

A passive skill that could be used 10 times, lasting 1 minute, was far stronger than his Mage's life-saving skills.

Time reached noon.

All five matches of the morning were completed.

It was time for a lunch break.

After having lunch and taking a nap, Guan Xingwu also woke up.

"I... I don't know what happened either."

"As soon as I got on stage, I saw the opponent immediately surrender, then I went on a rampage, and eventually won the championship, hehe..."

Guan Xingwu scratched his head, embarrassed.

"You had a nice dream, almost you could never wake up; better thank the captain."

Guo Yinglong scolded jokingly.

Guan Xingwu looked at Lin Yi and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Captain!"

Lin Yi shook his head: "Do you remember when you fell under the illusion technique?"

"I... I don't really remember."

"To say the least, I didn't even know what was real and what was illusionary."

Guan Xingwu still had lingering fears.

Illusion techniques, indeed, were bizarre.

They could even make one win without a fight.

Lin Yi wasn't discouraged.

Since he didn't watch their battle process, he planned to gather some potential opponent intel.

It didn't matter if Guan Xingwu didn't provide valuable information.

We'll just talk about it when we encounter them later.

With Lin You, illusions were basically ineffective against him.

Of course, only if that East Japan's number two player, who mastered illusions, could see him.

...

The lunch break was over.

At three in the afternoon.

The matches started again.

The first afternoon match held no suspense.

Because it was a battle within the Xia team.

Guo Yinglong, also in the lower bracket, was drawn against the team's third place, who was also a Mage, Ye Kaiqi.

The two had a formal fight for a few minutes.

Ultimately, Ye Kaiqi understandingly chose to concede.

Since one was bound to be eliminated, they just stretched their muscles a bit.

Leaving Guo Yinglong some trump cards for the quarter-finals.

Then it was East Japan's third player Fujimura Naoki against Goryeo's third player Jian Youqi.

This match was, since the start of the sixteen, the only one lasting over 20 minutes.

Although the battle was intense, it revealed that their strengths were equally matched.

Or, there was a gap with their team's number one and two players.

A little past four in the afternoon.

The last match in the upper bracket, also the last match of the sixteen, began.

"Today's final main event features East Japan's captain Mitsui Shigemasa and Nanyue Country's captain Su Wennanli."

"This is also the second captain-level battle of the day!"

During the pre-match interview.

Nanyue Country's only contestant to reach the last sixteen, Su Wennanli, was also very confident.

He claimed Mitsui Shigemasa was merely famous, not unbeatable.

On the other end of the ring, Mitsui Shigemasa just kept his head down, covering his right eye with his right hand.

Even when Ah Liang brought the microphone to his mouth, he remained silent.

Seeing his seemingly abnormal spirit, Ah Liang didn't waste words and directly skipped the interview.

The countdown began.

Su Nanwenli waved his magic staff, summoning several venomous pets.

Multicolored, glaringly venomous snakes spewed and inhaled black mists as they flicked their tongues.

Besides, there were scorpions, centipedes...

Snakes and centipedes first crawled all over Su Nanwenli's body, some even burrowing under his skin, greedily sucking his blood and flesh, making him look fierce.

Subsequently, more venomous pets appeared.

They swarmed, covering half of the stage.

It's fair to say that all Five Poisons were present.

Many spectators watched, feeling their scalps tingling.

On the other side, Mitsui Shigemasa.

He seemed utterly unaware that the battle was about to start.

His head still hung, and his right hand clutched his eye, his body trembling gently.

The countdown reached zero.

Hundreds of brutal venomous pets surged forth.

Yet, in the next moment, these countless pets instantly exploded into puffs of blood mist!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In a blink, the countless toxic summons Su Nanwenli had conjured vanished entirely.

The summoner himself didn't escape fate either.

Boom!!!

After a loud explosion, he too burst into a cloud of blood mist!

The numerous Life Defense Arrays, hastily added below the stage, all shattered in unison.

This battle ended just as it began.

Only Mitsui Shigemasa stood trembling, sweating like rain.

Beneath the black cloth over his right eye, something seemed to be emerging.

He was struggling to suppress it.

"Do you want to die?"

"Why aren't you announcing the result!"

Off stage, East Japan's leader watched Mitsui Shigemasa on the brink of madness, a hint of fear in his eyes.

He shouted angrily at the three petrified referees.

"The... East Japan's representative team, Mitsui Shigemasa wins!"

After the three referees announced the winner.

Several experts from the East Japan's Ghost Moon Organization flew onto the ring.

No one knew what method they used; a puff of smoke rose and they whisked away the quietly howling, body-tattooed Mitsui Shigemasa.

Others didn't see it, but Lin Yi's Eye of Omniscience understood what just happened.

It was an invisible giant snake's head.

The snake's head bit down, turning countless toxic pets and Su Nanwenli into a blood mist.

"Thanks to today's 16 contestants for a wonderful match."

Ah Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He actually didn't want to continue commentating, but the most important segment couldn't be skipped after the match.

"Let's welcome the judges from various countries to score the four still-dominant players chosen by the judging panel."

"They are Goryeo's captain Pei Junxi, Xia's captain Lin Yi, and Savadika Kingdom's dark horse Su Wa."

"Lastly, from East Japan, captain Mitsui Shigemasa."

"The judges' evaluations of these players will determine who will be the MVP of the individual competition, so please score carefully."

In the judges' seats, Mr. Meng and Cheng Xiao did not speak first.

The two representatives from East Japan also remained silent.

Suddenly, the Goryeo representative spoke up.

"Since I can't score our own player, I'll start with Xia's contestant."

"From today's four focus matches, it's not hard to see that Xia's Lin Yi took the longest time to win, and it was also the most convoluted."

"I think comparing him with the other three top players isn't quite appropriate."

"Therefore, I can only give 5 points."

"I also give 5 points."

Another senior official of Goryeo gave the same score.

Meng Yuanzhou leaned forward slightly.

Clearly intending to speak.

But he was stopped by Cheng Xiao, who was still squinting and smiling beside him.

Sure enough, the next second, East Japan's female representative suddenly spoke.

"No wonder Goryeo's young professionals have been getting weaker over the years, getting worse each year."

"Your leaders are so short-sighted, unable to see the truth behind the facts."

"What did you say?"

The Goryeo representative was instantly furious.

The East Japan female representative sneered: "I'll just say one thing."

"Since the start of the competition, besides saving his own team members, when have you seen this Lin Yi use skills above the 2nd tier?"

"Because so far, there hasn't been an opponent worthy of him using high-tier skills."

"I give him 9 points."
