Under the crushing pressure of Heavenfrost Sword Breath at maxed-out proficiency, hundreds of Coldflame Phoenix Shadows were extinguished once again.
Only this time, they had lost all chance of reigniting.
At this unbelievable sight, the entire audience fell silent.
An... an upset!
And an absolutely outrageous upset at that!
An unranked competitor had steamrolled seventh place!
The top ten in the Lower-Tier Ranking watching the match all found the scene familiar.
Wasn't this exactly what had happened when they faced Luo Yu's Summoning Beasts a year ago?
How had it taken just one year for the same thing to happen to the experts in the Mid-Tier Ranking?
