Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 1046 - 717: One Sword!

In the passage, a cha adorned with dark golden and regal purple spiritual energy patterns, with a stately and elegant design resembling a temple warrior, slowly erged.

With every step the "Tianming Judge" took, it seed to resonate with a strange rhythm.

A faint golden halo of spiritual energy, like strands of fate, flowed around the cha, giving an unfathomable impression as if everything was under control.

Just the appearance alone caused an intangible pressure that made many in the audience hold their breath.

Soon after, the "Dawn Bringer" calmly entered the arena from another passage, its blue and white body steady.

In comparison to its opponent's glamorous and mysterious aura, the "Dawn Bringer" appeared sleek, compact, with smooth but powerful lines, without much visible spiritual energy phenona.

Only the unique tallic sheen on its body quietly flowed under the arena's artificial lighting.

The two chas stood at opposite sides of the stage, facing each other from afar.

In the cockpit, Bai E slowly opened his eyes, calmly observing the cha praised as "destined by fate" opposite him.

He could sense an imnse yet subtle wave of spiritual energy emanating from the opponent, almost like it could glimpse future fragnts, attempting to envelop the whole arena.

Bai E lightly furrowed his brow, looking towards the opponent.

Compared to the core energy of the Bug Race, which was vast, the opponent's spiritual energy was evidently not as profound but was more agile and controllable.

A worthy opponent indeed.

The referee's electronic voice bood through the feverish stadium like thunder:

"Round Three, Special Challenge Match, Death Match Mode!"

"Facing off: Astra versus Bai E!"

"The match—begins!"

The mont it started, the "Tianming Judge" instantly vanished from its original position.

It wasn't teleportation but an explosive advance!

The dark golden cha transford into a blurry stream of light, carrying a strange, fateful humming, crossing half the arena distance in an instant.

A cross longsword, ornate with golden spiritual energy flas, had already appeared before the "Dawn Bringer's" cockpit!

This strike was fast, accurate, fierce, and accompanied by a mysterious, inevitable pressure, as if no matter how Bai E dodged, he would be guided by fate to be struck in a vital spot!

The stands erupted in astonished gasps!

"The child of fate" made a move, and it's thunderous and decisive!

However, just as the sword tip was about to reach the "Dawn Bringer's" armor, the blue and white cha executed a seemingly minor but exquisitely precise sidestep, narrowly allowing the sword edge to skim past its chest plate, sparking a faint trail of energy.

Bai E's response was simple, efficient, with no superfluous movents, as if he had long anticipated this seemingly unavoidable strike.

Astra's first strike misses, yet its offensive is like rcury pouring out, continuous and unyielding.

The "Tianming Judge's" swordsmanship was ornate and ticulous, each strike carried a strange rhythm, as if weaving an invisible net enveloping the "Dawn Bringer".

What was even more alarming was its ability to preemptively block off the "Dawn Bringer's" seemingly possible evasion routes, as if it could foresee Bai E's next move.

On the scene, the "Tianming Judge" took the initiative, with an offensive like tidal waves.

While the "Dawn Bringer" appeared beleaguered, able only to engage in seemingly panicked blocking and dodging, its occasional counterattack was easily nullified or preemptively evaded by the opponent.

"Indeed! Astra is too strong! Completely dominating!"

"Look! Bai E can only dodge, no chance to fight back!"

"Is this what 'fate perception' feels like? It's as if he knows everything Bai E wants to do!"

"The gap is too wide, not even close in level."

"The New Bauhinia's dark horse myth ends here! Exposed in front of true genius!"

Online, the already lopsided opinion grew even louder, with countless mockery, ridicule, and comnts like "I knew it" filling up the comnt sections on major streaming platforms.

On the betting platforms, Astra's odds of winning dropped further, while Bai E's odds soared to over 1:15.

In the viewing area for the New Bauhinia participants, the atmosphere was heavy.

Kuang Xin and others clenched their fists, palms sweating.

They could see that Astra's attacks were not flawless, but his "prediction" ability was too much of a bug, making many of Bai E's brilliant counterattacks miss, putting him on the back foot.

Gong Yan looked at the data board filled with one-sided opinions and the constantly changing odds, her face sowhat pale.

The Elorin scholar had a furrowed brow, murmuring to himself, "This level of fate interference... stronger than the rumors. Bai E seems to be adapting..."

On the stage, Bai E in the cockpit remained calm.

He could clearly sense a peculiar spiritual energy field enveloping the stage, continuously trying to "read" his cha's energy flow, muscle mory reactions, even subtle signs of his intent, and relay them to Astra.

Is this the so-called "fate perception"?

More like an advanced form of "battlefield information reading and probability prediction".

"Interesting." Bai E was not flustered.

This ability is strong, but not invincible.

It relies on capturing and calculating information.

What if…the information itself is "wrong"?

Or, so fast that it can't be calculated in ti?

Bai E began consciously adjusting his combat rhythm.

He stopped trying complex tactical deceptions, instead simplifying his movents to the extre, relying more on the "Dawn Bringer's" superior basic performance and his own well-honed combat instincts to respond.
