Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The field fell into complete silence.

Not just the elves, even the human spectators who had watched the previous two matches felt somewhat conflicted at this moment.

The bizarre performance on the field looked too much like cheating with spiritual energy... Surely their own people, having lost the first two matches, hadn't grown so desperate as to start cheating openly in this one?

You cheat if you must... but does it have to be so blatant?

We can hardly cheer for this.

What to do? Pretend not to see... As long as we win.

In the midst of this eerie quiet, the accusation from the Elf Race side sounded extremely harrowing, "You're cheating!"

"It must be your use of despicable means that ambushed our kin!"

"You can request to fight another round." Bai E stood in the field, responding expressionlessly.

What the elves imposed on humans was bound to be repaid.

Only then could they gain a deeper acceptance from the many bystanders from the depths of their hearts.

'This scene feels a bit familiar...' The thought flashed through Storm's mind but vanished in an instant.

This match could not be lost, nor, indeed, could any match.

Only by claiming every victory could the wager agreed upon with humanity be completely honored.

When sitting in a position with such stakes, any semblance of personal dignity became trivial.

Even if psychologically one didn't really believe the opponent had cheated, as long as there was a chance, they would not sit by and watch it slip away.

This match...

"I will go."

Storm stood up and said with a deep voice.

Of the kin who came this time, only his power was above that of Zoro. If he wanted to be more certain, he could only turn to Yue Ying, who was already stationed here... But she was guarding the Prophet, and it was not good to disturb her.

Through the combat between that human named Bai E and Zoro, Storm indeed understood why this human warrior was the only human pointed out by Yue Ying.

Although all the monitoring on the field and the spiritual energy suppression bracelets were provided by the humans, the elves' perception was no trivial matter either.

There truly was not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, but something closer to the "Way".

This human named Bai E was also a mighty being on the path of the Way!

Descending from the stand to the field, Storm voluntarily wore the spiritual energy suppression bracelet assisted by the field's sideline staff, and then he truly looked at the human warrior in front of him with a calm face, his gaze carrying a subtle hint of admiration: "I can tell that your archery has elements from our Elf Race. Has Yue Ying taught you anything?"

Bai E's gaze flickered, never expecting such a hidden truth to be thrown out in public.

The contact between Yue Ying and himself was known only to the two of them.

Others wouldn't even speculate, or else some hints of it would have reached his ears by now.

However, now that his opponent had pointed it out so openly, even if he denied it, those in the city who were curious about his sudden rise would not let go of this possibility.

Does it matter? Does it not? Might he be labeled as someone who fraternizes with another race? Who knows?

But one thing was certain, the elf named Storm who pointed out this fact at this moment was definitely harboring some ill intentions.

"She never taught me to hold back in a fight." Bai E's gaze turned slightly frosty, whether to garner support or to prove himself, he needed to win decisively, "I will defeat you."

Since it was already mentioned, might as well admit it generously.

Skulking and hiding would only make it seem more suspect.

"Good!" Storm's handsome face beamed with a bright smile, "That's what I think as well."

Any warrior who does not fully embrace battle cannot make significant progress on this path.

Once he truly stepped onto the battlefield, he too was a pure warrior.

"Then... let's begin."

As Storm's voice fell, breezes began to brew around him.

Protected by the Wind King, this was the unique power of his Way.

Feel the wind, control the wind, become the wind.

In many cases, he was the embodiment of the wind.

Light-footed, he seemed to dance out of the dust.

Considering the human warrior also seemed to possess a certain ability to control the wind from what had just happened, it was unknown how this would stack up against his own Wind King's Protection.

Watching the two poised figures on the field, the elves in the audience started to show signs of impatience for the first time.

"Storm will definitely be alright, won't he?"

"In front of Storm, that human surely won't be able to cheat anymore!"

"Do you really think that human cheated? How could he cheat in front of everyone? If Zoro lost, it's because he was careless."

"That human's abilities are somewhat similar to Storm's, he surely won't be caught off guard."

"Xunying, haven't you seen that human in action? What do you think the odds are between him and Storm?"

The pain from old injuries made Xunying's face turn somewhat pale, and at that moment, she furrowed her brows deeply and remained silent.

She was not optimistic about the outcome of this battle.

After all, in her view, even Storm... probably couldn't defeat her as swiftly as that orc did.

Meaning even Storm might not be as powerful as that orc, and that human general who had dominated the orc like a child...
