No matter how loudly the crowd roared outside, none of it could reach the people inside the canyon.
At this moment, Vincent Fox, his entire body engulfed in flames, finally moved.
Step by steady step, he walked toward Lucia Blair.
His pace wasn't fast.
It was almost like he was taking a casual stroll.
Seeing Vincent like this, many of the students from Regal Academy sneered in ridicule.
"What an idiot. No matter how big his flames are, if he can't get close, they're useless."
Someone whispered disdainfully.
Lucia Blair also spoke calmly, "So this is your final move? In that case, you can surrender now."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her slender hand.
In the next instant, green light shimmered faintly around her.
A wave of invisible force immediately slammed down on Vincent.
The pressure was immense.
Even Vincent had to admit that Lucia Blair's talent was impressive.
To have mastered this level of psychic power in just a few months was extraordinary.
But.
Trying to suppress Vincent Fox, who possessed the Saitama Physique, was still far too naive.
Vincent's expression didn't change at all. He continued walking toward Lucia.
"What?!"
Lucia gasped in shock, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
Honestly, she looked kind of cute like that.
She instantly pushed her psychic power to the limit, pouring everything into stopping Vincent.
But it was no use.
Right now, Vincent was like an immovable mountain. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake him not even a little.
"This… this is impossible!!"
Lucia was completely stunned.
Her beautiful face was frozen in utter disbelief.
She even started doubting whether her psychic power was still working.
But the flames on Vincent's body were still being whipped and distorted by her psychic waves, proving her ability was active.
Lucia wasn't the only one doubting her life choices right now.
Even her three teammates were staring at Vincent like they'd just seen a ghost.
Finally, Vincent walked right up to Lucia.
"You've lost."
With those simple words, he chopped the side of her neck with his hand.
Lucia didn't even have time to scream. Her vision instantly went black, and the next second, she lost consciousness.
Vincent turned his gaze to the other three members of Regal Academy.
At this moment.
All three of them looked at Vincent as if they were facing death itself. Their faces had gone completely pale, cold sweat pouring down.
Lucia had lost too quickly so fast that they still didn't understand what had just happened.
To them, Lucia was like a queen, untouchable.
And now their queen had been defeated so easily.
How terrifying was the man standing before them?
"Let me send you all back to base too."
Vincent spoke calmly and charged forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
His flaming fists tore through the air in quick succession.
Without Lucia's psychic interference, dealing with the rest of them was effortless.
Fire punches alone were enough.
To their credit, the remaining students from Regal Academy didn't even try to dodge.
They knew they couldn't stop Vincent.
In no time at all, Vincent secured a clean quadra-kill.
"Participant Vincent Fox has slain participant Lucia Blair in a solo kill…"
"Participant Vincent Fox has double-killed participant Li Kun…"
"Participant Vincent Fox has triple-killed participant Xie Xiaomin…"
"Participant Vincent Fox has quadra-killed participant Zhou Yuan…"
The booming announcements echoed through the canyon and reverberated across the entire arena.
Outside the battlefield.
Countless spectators were completely dumbfounded.
Most of them hadn't even processed what just happened.
How did Lucia Blair get knocked out in an instant like that?
"Oh my god! That was… that was unbelievable!"
The commentator's excited voice rang out, "It looks like Lucia Blair's psychic power had no effect on Vincent Fox… I have no idea how Vincent managed to do it, but the fact is, he won! He used his flame ability to defeat the inheritor of Tatsumaki's power!"
"This result is nothing short of a miracle!"
"At this point, there's nothing left to stop Vincent from winning the championship…"
"A new record is about to be born!"
"Vincent Fox will soon claim the reward for the Godlike Achievement!!"
The commentator's voice was trembling with excitement.
As his voice faded, the entire venue exploded into heated discussions.
"…What just happened? How did my goddess Lucia lose?"
"Vincent's flame ability is definitely not ordinary. Maybe it's the natural counter to psychic power."
"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too!"
"Awesome! Vincent is absolutely awesome!"
"Hahaha! My Vincent won! He's about to get the Godlike Achievement! He really is my prince charming!"
That came from a female fan.
"Besides the Godlike Achievement, don't forget the championship prize a Super Soldier Serum!!"
"Damn! I still don't get it. How did Regal Academy lose so fast?"
"It's fine. The match isn't technically over yet. They've only lost one team fight."
"Maybe the outcome was predetermined by this one team fight?"
"I don't think so."
While the audience was in an uproar.
Meanwhile.
In Martial Saint Academy's seating area, the atmosphere was strangely quiet.
Although they had all been shouting "Vincent, go for it" earlier, now that victory was right in front of them, it almost felt surreal.
The championship.
Could it really be this easy?
"Did we… really win?" the dean of students muttered.
"We won!" one teacher confirmed.
Another chimed in, "It was just one team fight. They haven't taken the enemy's crystal yet."
"If Vincent can win once, he can win again!"
Terry Yan suddenly spoke up, his tone firm. "This championship belongs to Martial Saint Academy!"
Hearing this, the dean of students finally laughed.
He laughed with genuine joy.
Inside the canyon.
"Boss Vincent, what's the next step?" Ben Carter asked nervously.
This match had completely shattered his worldview.
Right now.
He looked up to Vincent like a god.
"Of course we push the towers!" Vincent said casually.
Autumn Summer asked, "What if they try to cheat?"
"They probably won't." Vincent smiled. "Even if they do, it doesn't matter. If I can win once, I can win again!"
Autumn thought about it and realized he was right.
The three of them said no more and patiently waited for the minion wave to arrive.
On the other side.
Lucia Blair had no intention of cheating.
"Are we really just going to surrender? Are we seriously going to help that guy get his Godlike Achievement?" one of her recently respawned teammates asked.
Lucia fell silent.
She still couldn't figure out how she had lost the team fight so quickly.
Was her psychic power really useless against that guy?
She wanted to know too.
After a long pause, Lucia finally said, "Vincent is no ordinary person. He must have another ability that counters my psychic power."
"So what now? Are we really going to surrender?"
"Of course," Lucia said. "I keep my word."
At that moment.
Kevin Chan suddenly said, "Surrender? I never agreed to that!"
Lucia's eyes turned cold.
"Kevin Chan, what are you planning to do?"
"Even if we lose, I'm not going to help him complete his Godlike Achievement. I'm going to kill him!"
Kevin turned and stomped off.
But before he could take a few steps, his entire body was lifted off the ground.
A crushing psychic force suffocated him, his face turning red as he struggled helplessly in mid-air.
In less than a minute, Kevin was dead again, waiting for his respawn timer.
Lucia was the one who took him out, of course.
"We agreed before the match that a single team fight would decide the outcome. If anyone breaks their word and disgraces Regal Academy, I'll make sure they pay dearly when we get back!" Lucia's cold voice left no room for argument.
Everyone else fell completely silent.
Not long after.
Vincent and his team pushed all the way to the enemy crystal.
Lucia approached Vincent and said, "You got four kills just now, right? I still have four more to offer. Go ahead. We'll keep our word and won't resist."
Then she looked at Vincent with deep, serious eyes. "Also… Vincent, I'll remember you!"
For some reason, when Autumn Summer heard those words, she suddenly felt a little uneasy…
