The two fighting on the stone platform naturally understood the situation Xiao Fan had described.
The fire-attribute cultivator grew increasingly anxious. After all, he knew that if this dragged on, he would very likely end up the loser.
With that thought, his attacks grew even fiercer. He wanted to use his higher cultivation to defeat the Thunder Attribute cultivator as soon as possible.
However, the Thunder Attribute cultivator had been cautious from the outset, creating the situation that now favored him. When he realized his opponent had caught on to his intentions, he became even more careful.
Even when his opponent occasionally revealed an opening, he still chose caution unless he was certain he could turn the tables with a single strike.
Soon, the fire-attribute cultivator's Dou Qi was almost exhausted. A sharp gleam flashed through the eyes of the Thunder Attribute cultivator, who had been on the defensive all along. The instant his opponent failed to sustain his Dou Qi, he struck.
Enduring that prolonged beating had not merely been about buying time and exhausting his opponent's Dou Qi. It had also allowed him to observe his opponent's moves and analyze his weaknesses.
Thanks to his meticulous planning, his counterattack quickly bore fruit.
Although the fire-attribute cultivator was unwilling to accept defeat, his opponent's relentless string of attacks forced him to concede.
Once one side conceded, the formation around the stands stopped their battle and transported them off the stone platform.
After leaving the competition area, the fire-attribute cultivator looked at his opponent with lingering defiance. Then he restrained himself, snorted coldly, and left.
The Thunder Attribute cultivator held his head high, accepting the applause from the surrounding stands.
Watching the victor emerge, Yue Yao smiled at Xiao Fan. "You really did guess right!"
"What do you mean, guess?
