The golden lightning gradually faded, and Xu Jingming withdrew the Dark Abyss Spear.
Amid the deafening cheers from the stands.
His figure turned into a streak of light and returned from the center of the arena to the Star Torch Empire's exclusive viewing area.
The moment he sat down, he was met by the fervent gazes of Ye Lan and the others.
"Jingming, you worked hard."
"That was amazing! Even Moon Shadow wasn't your match!"
"Get some rest and prepare for the finals."
"..."
Ye Lan and the others immediately got to work, some pounding his shoulders, others massaging his legs.
Though they were in a virtual world, their techniques still made Xu Jingming feel quite comfortable.
Not that his battle with Moon Shadow had drained him much in the first place.
As Xu Jingming enjoyed the women's service with his eyes slightly narrowed.
The countdown for the next semifinal had already begun.
"Next, please welcome the contestants for the second semifinal.
'Sword Ruin' Roy from the Starfall Empire, and 'Sea Monster' Beth from the Deep Sea Empire!"
The host's voice exploded across the entire continent like thunder.
As soon as he finished speaking, Roy took a single step and instantly descended onto the arena.
His white robes fluttered like cascading frost and snow.
The black longsword on his back remained sheathed, yet it had already warped and collapsed the light around him.
It was as if even the void feared that ultimate intent of destruction.
His gaze was colder and more desolate than the depths of the universe. Wherever his eyes fell, even the cheering Starfall Empire spectators instinctively held their breath.
On the other side, Beth gracefully rose from the contestants' area.
Her skin gleamed like pearls, the pale blue gills behind her ears opening and closing softly.
