Incredible, Winner: Hu Tao
Looking at Kiana, who was completely unguarded in front of him, Chituan's lips curled into a wicked smile.
It stretched out its tiny, transparent hand and carefully poked Kiana's waist.
Who is it?
Kiana felt a chill run down her Chituan and immediately became alert when Akane poked her.
Is there something behind me?
Could this be... the secret weapon that Hu Tao used to deal with him?
Thinking of this, Kiana stopped staring at Hu Tao and quickly turned her head away.
"Ah!!!!!!!!"
"Is there a ghost?!?"
As expected, Kiana immediately saw Akabane, who was trying hard to look fierce but didn't look Chituan at all.
A white, translucent body; a ferocious appearance; a torso without a lower body...
Although it wasn't particularly ferocious, the creature in front of her was exactly the same as the Ghost Kiana remembered.
And so, despite not having a fierce appearance, the Chituan still managed to scare Kiana.
Kiana, who traveled alone for a long time as a child, often lived alone at night.
Over time, I couldn't help but feel afraid of ghosts and Ghost from myths and legends.
Although she later learned that there were no Ghost or similar creatures in their world, the fear of Ghost remained buried in her heart.
Upon seeing the Chituan, Kiana was immediately overcome by a deep fear of Ghost.
Kiana's pupils constricted instantly, and she screamed in panic, momentarily forgetting to attack.
Seeing this, Chituan Tuan's wicked smile grew even more excited; it hadn't expected that it would actually scare someone.
Excited, the Chituan suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment and slowly floated towards Kiana, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.
Really.
When Hu Tao saw Kiana looking like this, she immediately had an "I knew it" expression on her face.
Girls who aren't afraid of ghosts are rare, but they do exist.
However, judging from the current situation, Kiana is clearly not that kind of person.
Hehe, Kiana is indeed afraid of ghosts.
I don't understand why anyone would be afraid of Chituan, when Chituan is so cute!
Hu Tao was a little puzzled, but her hands moved quickly.
Such a golden opportunity is a huge waste if we don't make good use of it.
Seeing Kiana's panicked state and her exposed weakness, Hu Tao smiled, stomped her foot on the ground, and charged towards Kiana.
In a swift movement, Hu Tao drew her Martial Soul, the Staff of Soul Transference, held it in her hand, and unleashed her Soul Skill.
First Soul Skill: Soul Suppression.
The second Soul Skill: Soul Immobilization.
Two purple Spirit Ring suddenly lit up behind him.
An invisible wave, mixed with a strange energy, instantly filled the Staff of Soul Transference.
These two energies, when attached to the Staff of Soul Transference, greatly amplify its attack power and its ability to control souls.
This strike ignored all defenses and directly struck at the soul.
No matter how powerful Kiana is, without sufficient soul defense, if she is hit by this attack, she will immediately fall into a coma without exception.
In no time, the distance of several dozen meters was covered by Hu Tao, who was sprinting at full speed, and she caught up with Kiana.
Meanwhile, Kiana was still being entangled by the Chituan and was completely unaware of Hu Tao's arrival.
A good opportunity.
Seizing the opportunity, Hu Tao didn't hesitate at all. She grabbed the Staff of Soul Transference Entanglement in strange energy, and smashed it towards Kiana's head.
Thud—
The crisp sound tells you it's a good head.
With a crisp sound, Kiana, who was entangled with the Chituan, immediately felt a jolt at the back of her head.
She didn't feel much pain, but a strange dizziness came over her, making her feel drowsy and wanting to fall asleep immediately.
I've been infected.
Feeling dizzy, Kiana immediately understood her current state. After this thought crossed her mind, she fell backward.
Gently knock on your conscious mind, slowly close your eyes...
(Since it was a soul attack that caused dizziness, not an attack that exceeded the limits or was fatal, the Boundary Mark did not take effect.)
Kiana is out.
Seeing this, the Daoist priest on the referee's table was still bewildered by the twists and turns of the plot, but he still dutifully announced the final result of the match.
"The competition is over. The winner is Hu Tao. Congratulations on passing the elimination round and advancing to the next round."
In the audience seats.
"Wow, I never expected that Hu Tao would win in the end."
"Indeed, the Star Rail World and the Honkai World, which are clearly of a higher combat power level, actually lost to the Genshin Impact World. As expected, Honkai Impact 3rd and Honkai Impact 3rd are not as good as Y..."
"Hey, hey, hey, let's have a discussion, but don't start a fight."
"Welcome to the live broadcast of the Grand Rite of Luo Tian, a competition full of twists and turns."
"Goodness, no matter what, that Chituan Akabane is Ghost! Speaking of which, isn't anyone afraid of Ghost?"
"Uh... are you serious? Chituan can actually scare people?"
"Indeed, I've seen it so many times in the game, and now it looks cute no matter how I look at it. It's completely different from the ghosts I remember."
"So, you all accept that the one on the field is the real person now?"
"It's not certain yet, but who cares? It's not like there's only one match. The Grand Rite of Luo Tian lasts for several days. We'll see when the time comes."
"Exactly, exactly. Besides, even if it were real, what could we do? This kind of thing obviously has little to do with people like us at the bottom. Why not just leave these things to the higher-ups to consider?"
"By the way, if Hu Tao is real, then the Lord Rex Lapis and the others..."
The moment one person spoke, the previously lively scene fell completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
In the audience, everyone's eyes unconsciously shifted to a group of people standing to the side.
Those were the group of people who came with the four people below, whom they originally thought were a group of cosplayers.
Zhongli, Fuhua, Himeko, Dan Heng, Angel Yan, Raiden Mei, Bronya Zaychek...
They initially thought these people were the cosplayer team, but based on the information they have now, that guess may not be so certain.
