A draw!
No one had expected the final match between East Cang and Heavenly Star to end this way.
But after a brief stunned silence, a roar like crashing waves and thundering mountains swept through Star Luo Plaza.
"Chosen! Chosen! Chosen!"
The last match had ended in a draw, but Heavenly Star had no competitors left. That meant Jiang Hai had accomplished the feat of taking on all seven alone, fighting his way through Heavenly Star Academy single-handedly.
Jiang Hai had not expected the final battle to end so dramatically either. He shook his head with a smile, cupped his hands toward Heavenly Star Academy's captain, Mo He, and stepped down from the arena.
If he had kept fighting, Jiang Hai might have defeated Mo He, but he would also have exposed his true strength. After all, he had faced five Soul Ancestors and two Soul Kings in succession. A draw like this was the best possible outcome.
"Senior Xu, thank you for lending me your blade!" Jiang Hai returned the Blade of the Chosen to Xu Wenqing.
Xu Wenqing's eyes shone with fascination as she asked, "You know how to use a saber too?"
The saber techniques Jiang Hai had displayed against Feihong had been outstanding. Even with the Blade of the Chosen, Xu Wenqing would not have been confident of defeating Feihong herself.
Jiang Hai nodded. "I practiced for a few days before, but I rely mostly on brute strength. I should still be some way behind you, senior!"
He had indeed used a saber before. When he had first awakened his martial soul, his innate soul power of only one level had been nowhere near enough to sustain his Copper Coffin Martial Soul for long, so he had bought a broadsaber from a smithy to defend himself.
