When the audience heard the news, they weren't afraid. Instead, they were excited. If this happened in real life, all the spectators would have run away. However, it was different in an online game. Players wouldn't die anyway. Even if they died, they would only lose 10% of their experience. They could afford it. More importantly, there was actually a skill that could kill everyone. This naturally aroused the curiosity of the spectators. They wanted to see what kind of skill it was. They couldn't hold back their curiosity. So, if they died, they died.
Of course, a small portion of the audience chose to leave the arena. Previously, the host had also said that the audience members who left the arena would receive a portion of their tickets as compensation. Of course, it wouldn't be a full refund. However, these people would continue to watch the live broadcast on TV after they went offline.
In short, the situation was much better than the committee had imagined. In fact, when the committee made this decision, they were very conflicted. If everyone left the arena, they would suffer a huge loss. However, the majority of the audience members were willing to accept this situation.
Regarding this year's finals, the committee was slightly on the verge of collapsing. The A-ranked players were still causing trouble, and the King of Trouble, Li Huailin, was also helping to cause trouble. They were both mentally and physically exhausted. However, when they looked at the rules of the competition, there wasn't any rule that stated that accidentally killing a spectator was a violation of the rules. Therefore, after an emergency discussion by the referees for more than ten minutes, they finally decided to do this. Indeed, they would suffer a loss of tickets, but in the long run, this method would increase the credibility of the competition. It could be considered a good thing.
Most of the spectators chose to stay, which exceeded the expectations of the organizers. The spectators who stayed basically had to make a trip to the bank to deposit their important equipment, and then buy a bunch of miscellaneous items that were worth a few copper coins to carry with them. Because of this, the time taken was slightly longer. Although the organizers said that there would be a delay of 15 minutes, in reality, it took more than 20 minutes for the spectators to return to the arena. The organizers took a quick look at the audience. In reality, there weren't many spectators who had been lost. From the stands, they could see that the seats were still full.
During this period of time, there was a slight change in the betting statistics. At first, no one knew that Li Huailin had such a heaven-defying skill, so most people still bet on Separated from the Heavens. But later on, when they heard that he had such a powerful skill that could wipe out the entire field, why didn't they bet on Brother Awesome? Many people who had bought Worlds Apart at the beginning had bought Li Huailin again. This way, their losses were slightly smaller, and Li Huailin's odds had also reached a new low.
The slightly chaotic scene lasted for a while before it finally quieted down. The audience held their breath and prepared to enjoy the final match.
Seeing that the audience was almost ready, the host Liu Su took the initiative to stand on the stage. "Thank you, everyone, for risking your lives to continue watching this exciting match."
"Hahahaha …" The audience couldn't help but laugh. This was really "risking their lives" to watch the match.
"But even so, I think the match will still satisfy everyone," Liu Su said. On the other side, Liu Su said, "Alright, could the audience please quiet down for a moment. Let me introduce the two contestants. The first one is from the northern resting area, the S-rank semi-champion contestant that everyone is very familiar with, the runner-up of last season's finals, the contestant from Zhongxing Corporation – Worlds Apart."
"Oh?" It was very rare to directly introduce the contestants on the stage in the finals. In fact, during the round-robin stage, the host would introduce the contestants on the stage. However, this setting was removed for the finals. The reason was to ensure the professionalism of the competition. Only the contestants and the referee were left on the stage, while the host would be a guest commentator. This time, it seemed different, but it was good.
Along with Liu Su's voice, Worlds Apart slowly walked out from the northern passage. In an instant, the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded for Worlds Apart. Unlike Li Huailin, Li Huailin was the type of person who was a model professional gamer. Although he was strong and famous, he still participated in every round-robin stage seriously without any ostentatious behavior. For a contestant like this, not many people could hate him. Even Li Huailin's fans didn't really hate Worlds Apart. So when he appeared on the stage, almost everyone gave him a round of applause.
As for the delay of the match, the staff had already notified the people from the ZTE Group. Worlds Apart also knew about it. When Dong Zhongxing heard about it, he initially thought that Li Huailin was playing some tricks. After all, a skill that could kill the whole arena was … unimaginable.
However, Separated from Heaven felt that Li Huailin's words were true. He understood Li Huailin's character, and he didn't think that Li Huailin would play tricks. However, he wasn't afraid of skills that could wipe out the entire battlefield. On the contrary, he felt that Li Huailin's strength was what his opponent should have. If Li Huailin didn't have such ability, then Separated from Heaven would feel uncomfortable.
Soon, Worlds Apart stood on the stage. Unlike the round-robin stage, Liu Su didn't interview the contestants. Instead, he immediately introduced Li Huailin.
"The contestant in the southern resting area is still the S-rank contestant that everyone is familiar with. The current defending champion, contestant from Huaxing Media — Big-minded Ruolin."
Amidst the earth-shattering cheers, Li Huailin slowly walked onto the stage. The two of them stood facing each other. In an instant, the atmosphere of the finals came. The audience gradually quieted down. It was as if the atmosphere had calmed them down and allowed them to watch the match.
"That … I won't repeat the rules. You should all know," Liu Su said. "I will be the guest referee for this match."
This was also a decision that the committee had just made. No matter how one looked at it, this match wouldn't be easy. Who knew if something bad would happen soon. Therefore, it was better to let the experienced Liu Su stand on the stage. This way, if anything happened, he wouldn't be able to deal with it immediately.
"Big-minded contestant Ruolin, the referees have allowed you to use the skill you submitted earlier. However, the Demon Summoning skill will cause your own death, so you will be disqualified after using it. Therefore, you still can't use it. Do you understand?" Liu Su said again.
"Understood." Li Huailin nodded. In reality, being allowed to use the godly sword had already exceeded his expectations. He didn't expect the committee to be so kind. Li Huailin, who originally didn't have much confidence, now felt that he shouldn't have any problems.
"Then, both contestants have no problems?" Liu Su confirmed once again.
"No problem." "Mm," the two of them said at the same time.
"Then, get ready." Liu Su retreated a little, then raised his hand and said. All the spectators in the stadium immediately took a deep breath and focused all their attention on the arena, because the competition was destined to be very intense from the start.
Separation from Heaven also drew his two-handed sword out of habit and made a starting gesture. However, Li Huailin noticed that the sword in Separation from Heaven's hand wasn't a godly sword. This was because Separation from Heaven didn't turn off the glow effect on his equipment. If it was a godly sword, it should be orange. However, the sword in Separation from Heaven's hand was only golden. It wasn't even an Epic-ranked sword. It seemed like Separation from Heaven was holding a powerful skill. Of course, it was the same for Li Huailin. He was still holding God Devourer in his hand, not Gloom Light.
"Begin!" Ryu Soo waved his hand, and the match officially began. The moment it began, World's End immediately took action. He took two steps back to increase the distance between them. Then, he held his sword with both hands and began to chant a skill.
"Again?" Li Huailin had seen this skill twice, so he wasn't surprised at all. It seemed like Separation from Heaven's skill to summon an angel-type avatar. This skill was very troublesome, but it required a long time to prepare. It seemed like it required three swords to be stabbed into the ground. That was why Separation from Heaven used a golden weapon. The three swords were stabbed into the ground, and it seemed like the three swords would automatically break when the skill ended. That was why he didn't use a godly sword.
Of course, Li Huailin wouldn't let him use his ultimate skill so easily. However, Li Huailin had already tried throwing spears at him from afar. Li Huailin's Holy Shield would block the attack. If a melee player rushed over, Li Huailin would definitely be able to predict this. Perhaps, Li Huailin wanted him to do so.
"Do you think I don't have any long-range attack skills?" Li Huailin smiled. "Look at my godly skill, Flying Dragon Flash!"
"Flying Dragon Flash?" Everyone heard it. The name of this skill sounded very domineering. What kind of awesome skill was this? They didn't expect Li Huailin to use an ultimate skill at the beginning of the match. They quickly took a closer look at the gorgeous skill.
A golden light flashed in front of Li Huailin. After a dragon's roar, the audience saw Millet appear. This made the audience feel a little strange. Wasn't it supposed to be Dragon Flash? Why was it summoning a pet?
Before everyone could react, Li Huailin suddenly pulled Millet's tail in front of him. Then, he used all his strength and turned 360 degrees on the spot.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Xiao Mi, the Golden Dragon, was pulled into the air by Li Huailin and made a huge turn in the air.
"Go!" Aiming at the direction, Li Huailin let go. With a "baa" sound, the huge Golden Dragon, Millet, flew directly in the direction of Separation from Heaven, who was chanting a skill.
"This … is this even possible?" Everyone said at the same time.
