Rose achieved ultimate victory.
And yet...
she hadn't even used the ancient divine spell Daniel had taught her.
She won just like that.
Her opponent hadn't even forced her to reveal her trump card.
Or rather, it seed like Rose had simply chosen a random card from her hand and defeated Gurlitt.
This battle left the audience utterly stunned.
Cheers erupted for Rose.
Before the match, almost everyone believed Rose would lose.
After all, Brightsun World was a renowned Upper God Realm in the 5-Elent God Realm.
How bad could the young prodigies from such a world be?
Perhaps they couldn't compare to those from the 5-Elent Temple,
but surely, they wouldn't lose to soone from a little-known Crossbridge World.
Moreover, Crossbridge World was an Earth God Realm.
How could soone from Crossbridge World possibly be a match for Gurlitt?
What's more, Gurlitt had been in the God Realm for decades.
And Rose?
It was said that she had only ascended to the God Realm a few years ago.
That alone said it all.
A person from an Earth God Realm ascending to the God Realm might at best reach the peak of Earth God rank.
Even if they had been in the God Realm for a few years, how much could they really have improved?
There was no way they could compete with Gurlitt!
But after the battle began,
the audience's impressions were imdiately overturned.
To their utter surprise,
Rose was able to fight Gurlitt to a standstill!
The clash of their swords was entirely even.
Only later did they begin using the power of rules.
No one expected the battle to end so quickly.
Rose's victory was swift and decisive,
with an overwhelming and aggressive style.
Fast as the wind, fierce as fire.
Throughout the match, Rose consistently took the initiative.
Gurlitt was forced into a defensive position,
even resorting to his ultimate divine spell as a last resort.
Yet even that move failed to make any impact.
Gurlitt's death energy had no effect on Rose.
Before the death energy could even get close to her, it was completely destroyed.
At this mont, the crowd roared Rose's na.
Her strength had earned their respect!
Rose, however, left the arena as if she had just won an insignificant skirmish.
The second-round battles continued intensely.
Before long, the final ten contestants were determined.
Among them were Rose and Reed,
alongside three participants from the 5-Elent Temple and several from other factions.
In the final ten, there was a minor adjustnt to the rules.
The rule preventing participants from the sa world from facing each other was removed.
The matches would now be determined through blind drawing of lots.
This ant that so might end up facing soone from their own faction.
The results would now be entirely up to chance.
Among the remaining ten participants,
only Crossbridge World and the 5-Elent Temple had multiple representatives.
It was obvious to everyone that the new rule favored other factions.
The change was also intended to showcase the fairness of the competition hosted by the 5-Elent Temple.
The drawing process didn't take long,
and soon the matchups were announced.
The results were surprising.
Among the ten finalists,
both participants from Crossbridge World and both from the 5-Elent Temple
were paired against each other.
This essentially turned into internal duels.
For these two factions, this was naturally unfavorable,
as it ant fewer chances for their mbers to advance to the semifinals.
However, the outco made the competition appear even more fair and impartial to the audience.
Even the 5-Elent Temple had internal matches,
proving that the drawing process was fair.
Rose and Reed's match was scheduled for later.
The first match was a showdown between two participants from the 5-Elent Temple.
Daniel glanced at the 5-Elent God King.
"Did you arrange this on purpose?"
The 5-Elent God King sighed in exasperation.
"No, I didn't! It really ca from the draw. I don't know how this happened.
If it were up to , I would've kept the 5-Elent Temple participants apart.
Lord Daniel, you have to believe !"
The 5-Elent God King was clearly frustrated.
He hadn't expected such a result.
Though it looked like he had manipulated the draw,
he could guarantee that the outco was purely by chance.
Who could have predicted this?
The 5-Elent God King could only try his best to explain.
Daniel, however, seed unbothered.
"Hmm. This might actually be good. It'll let see the difference between them," he said.
Hearing this, the 5-Elent God King realized there was no need to explain further.
Naturally, Daniel was referring to Rose and Reed.
Rose was Daniel's daughter.
Reed, on the other hand, was the first of his students to ascend from Crossbridge World.
The two had sparred back in Crossbridge World.
Daniel wondered how much had changed in the years since.
Explore new worlds at empire
As Daniel watched the arena, his mind was filled with these thoughts.
Currently, the two contestants from the 5-Elent Temple were battling.
Both were juniors of the 5-Elent God King.
They had sparred many tis before,
so the outco of this match was practically predetermined.
Still, to maintain the 5-Elent Temple's reputation,
their battle was made to look "spectacular."
Indeed, it was all about dazzling divine spells.
But in terms of actual power and destruction...
it was more like a light show.
At least the audience seed enthralled.
After all, they were God Lord rank,
and they were from the 5-Elent Temple.
To the audience, it was a spectacular display,
with divine spells so varied and dazzling that they couldn't look away.
Soon, both contestants unleashed their "ultimate moves,"
and one was defeated.
The battle perfectly embodied the saying:
"Friendship first, competition second."
Such a fight could only fool casual spectators.
Those who understood what was happening naturally wouldn't say much.
After all, this was the 5-Elent Temple.
It was clear they had already discussed and decided the outco.
The spectacle was rely for show,
to avoid public criticism.
Thus, the battle was designed to be an extrely "exciting" match,
a feast for the eyes.
Those who understood wouldn't expose it,
and those who didn't would simply think it was brilliant.
Afterward, projection stones of the match would be sold,
allowing people to relive the "epic" battle at ho.
With that, the first match concluded.
There were several more exciting battles to co.
However, Daniel remained focused on Rose and Reed's upcoming match.
A few days later, their match finally began.
On the arena, Rose drew her sword,
and Reed took out his spear.
In the second round, Reed had not been as relaxed as in the first.
He had used his spear in several matches,
and his wide, sweeping attacks had drawn plenty of attention.
Many spectators enjoyed watching such a weapon in action.
"I didn't expect us to face each other here," Rose said.
"Yeah. But I've already lost to you," Reed admitted openly.
There was nothing shaful about it.
After all, his rank was lower than Rose's.
When Reed had ascended,
he already knew Rose had surpassed him.
She had held off her ascension despite reaching Heavenly God rank,
waiting for the right mont.
In the God Realm, Rose's progress had only accelerated.
Reed, on the other hand, had only recently reached God Lord rank.
By all accounts, he was no match for Rose.
