With everyone's jaw wide agaped, no one had a single clue as to what was going on here.
To think that Sui Shunyuan would just surrendered just like that, could it be that he felt like he could not win the battle as well?
”Noo!! My money! Why did he chose to surrender?!”
”This is something that I couldn't come into terms with! He was already winning the battle and had pushed his opponent by making use of their own attacks, why did he lost on purpose?!”
A lot of the crowd cried out, feeling that they had been wronged by Sui Shunyuan. The latter was already in an advantageous position but chose to surrender instead!
”Hmm.. Could it be that he thought he had shown enough of his abilities in that short battle?” Duan Li thought in his mind as he cupped at his chin.
In fact, some of the audiences started to think along the same lines as well. This was because the duel was just a formality between the shortlisted applicants, a platform to showcase their capabilities.
Since it didn't really matter whether one would win or lose, as the final verdict would be in the hands of Duan Li himself, then why bother showing all their cards upfront?
Perhaps it would be better if they only showcased a glimpse of their power. That way, they would retain the mystifying nature of their full abilities, which might instead, increased their value a whole lot more than if they showed all of it!
To make an analogy, in an auction, a single piece of rock with a mostly unknown nature behind it, would fetch quite a high price because people wanted to discover its true secrets.
But this doesn't just work on everything. They must first have that profound attractive effect which makes people wanted to know more about it.
This was exactly the kind of situation that Sui Shunyuan was making right now!
”It seems like not only is the nature of this man is far from ordinary, he even has the ability to scheme as well... interesting!” Shen Lu remarked, his interest was piqued.
On the platform, Xu Rong was pretty much dumbfounded as well, and then turned furious on the spot.
This was because even though she won, in that final few moments, it seems as though she was no match and was controlled by the other party since the very beginning instead!
But since things has ended as such, there was no way she could really do anything about it.
”Hmph! I'll just display my full power in the second round then!” she harrumphed as she stepped down from the platform.
When they both returned back to their seats, Xu Rong turned her head to glared at the direction of Sui Shunyuan all the time. The latter though, completely ignored her as he just crossed the both of his arms on his chest, closing his eyes and smiling, reverting back to his dull appearance.
”Hateful!” Xu Rong spoke out between her teeth as she stomped her legs down.
...
With his keen eyes, Duan Li was currently making his judgement onto them. Sui Shunyuan was someone with an ability to possess something and the intelligent mind to scheme. Meanwhile, although Xu Rong was a little bit haughty, she knew her limits well and does not push things too far.
In his eyes, both were extremely capable. But he knew full well than to make an early judgement, as the battle was far from being over yet.
At the same time, the crowd had already finished putting their bets onto the next contestants as Shen Lu's voice rang out.
”The third battle will begin soon! Would Fei Longwei and Ti Bao take their respective positions on top of the platform please?”
As soon as the name was called out, the man with the black robe, known as the 'Dark Reaper' stood up and walked towards the platform slowly.
”Ohh! So his name is called Fei Longwei? This name got a cool ring to it!”
”I've placed all my bets onto him, because I'm pretty confident that he would win and become the champion without a doubt!”
