Excalibur

When Bai Ye dispelled the "Wind King's Barrier," most of the audience present followed Big Mouth Mob's commentary and looked toward Bai Ye's right hand.

The broadcast director in the arena also zoomed in, giving Bai Ye's right hand a close-up.

Clutched in his metal gauntlet was a silver-white longsword. This was also the first time everyone had seen Bai Ye's weapon since the match began.
