The spectators shouted in excitement. The battle was truly swift, as it did not even take a minute to finish. As expected from the masked man, he was still too powerful, which made the fight end quickly.
Zander did not react much after his victory besides releasing a deep breath. He was glad that his battle went smoothly. He could have ended the fight much faster, but that was not the only thing he was looking for in this match.
What he sought was the experience of battling in this kind of setting against a talented genius. He wanted to know what it felt like to fight one on one against a genius, exchanging varied techniques. In this kind of battle, he could also measure himself more accurately—how strong he truly was compared to the other participants, or even to cultivators in the same realm across the continent.
From this one-on-one format, he would gain far more real experience fighting a strong opponent.
