The bus's onboard television displayed highlight reels of victors from the preliminary rounds. While watching live hadn't felt particularly thrilling, the edited clips, replayed on screen, ignited an excitement that reached a fever pitch.
Among the various close-up shots of triumphant moments, the final ones featured Wang Lan and Hu Qing's victorious scenes.
Though in reality, they had each won with a single move, the footage was edited and synchronized with the music to make it appear as if Hu Qing and Wang Lan had endured a grueling battle before delivering their finishing blows.
The screen split into two, with both fighters charging toward their respective adversaries at the same time.
Hu Qing, with her agile dodging, evaded her opponent's Sword Qi. Meanwhile, the masked Wang Lan transformed into a gust of wind. At the precise moment an air wave detonated, he sliced through it with a palm strike, then, using a dragon-like movement technique, circled to his opponent's back.
