Standing at the center of the stage, Gao Xuan had a smile on his face.
He had to admit, accepting the applause from the audience was exhilarating. Although it was just a simple match, it didn't diminish the joy.
A doctor came up to check on Hai Yunfei's injuries and confirmed that he was only concussed and unconscious, and immediately carried him off the stage.
Hai Yunxi, relieved to know her cousin was fine, let out a sigh of relief.
Gao Xuan's sword strike was the epitome of speed; it penetrated the helmet in one stab. Had he not held back, the sword would have pierced through Hai Yunfei's head, killing him on the spot.
Hai Yunxi asked Shen Ning, "How confident are you?"
Shen Ning shook her head, "Hard to say. Gao Xuan clearly still has some energy left in reserve. That's how he can control his blade so effortlessly."
Hai Yunxi put on her armor, "I'll give it a try."
