The contest to cut five down to three was a little different.
This time, the draw was completely random.
That meant the matches among the five contestants could pit human against human, or Devil against Devil.
After all, one of the five would receive a bye, so it was only natural that the humans wouldn't be forced to face only the Devils.
Soon, the match order was decided.
Mo Yi!
The only bye this time had gone to Mo Yi.
The Devil Race was overjoyed!
That meant they were guaranteed at least one place in the top three.
And since Mo Yi had advanced, the Black Shadow had a good chance of advancing too!

Everyone knew that Yan Yang had made it this far entirely by relying on his Mechanical Puppets.
But even Feng Qingluan, the Phoenix Clan's extraordinary genius, and Long Xiangtian, the Dragon Clan's, had been utterly helpless against the Black Shadow's strange ability. No one believed that Yan Yang's mere Mechanical Puppets could do it any harm.
Yan Yang was bound to lose!
The Devils were utterly certain of it.
In fact, it wasn't only the Devils who thought so. Most of the humans weren't optimistic about Qin Shaofeng either.
There was no denying that Qin Shaofeng's Mechanical Puppets were powerful, but the problem was that his opponent this time was simply too strange.
He couldn't even land a hit!
No, forget attacking—the Black Shadow seemed impossible even to touch!
No one thought Yan Yang's Mechanical Puppets could do what even
