The spectator stands fell silent, then erupted into heated discussion.
Although the outcome of this match had been expected, the strength Yun Che displayed and that final, effortless touch of his finger left everyone stunned.
Xia Qin hurriedly flew down from the raised platform and took the weakened Xia Yimian from Yun Che. She gave him a grateful look before leaving in haste with Xia Yimian, clearly intending to treat her injuries as soon as possible and ease the backlash from the Forbidden Technique.
Zhu Tianjiao, Leng Buding, Meichuan Hanku, and the three seeded contestants from the waystations all stared intently at Yun Che, their expressions grave.
"So this is Yun Che, the one the Heavenly Dao System designated a Heretical Player? He really is strong!" Ma Xinghu said, looking somewhat solemn.
Zhao Shaliya and Kunwu nodded as well. Zhao Shaliya said, "Yun Che's strength is even more unfathomable than we anticipated."
She paused, a sharp glint flashing through her beautiful eyes. "It seems this Judgment Battle has far more variables than we imagined."
Kunwu struck his fist against his palm with a dull thud, fighting spirit already burning in his eyes. "The more variables, the better. Although we've been earmarked as the people most likely to become Enforcement Elders, it would be far too dull without powerful opponents barring our way."
Different lights also flickered in the eyes of Zhu Tianjiao of the Blazing Flame God Kingdom, Leng Buding of the Frost God Kingdom, George Charles, and Peiqi Meng Tai.
An amused smile curled Zhu Tianjiao's lips as he licked them, finding them somewhat dry. "Interesting. Very interesting. He lives up to the title of Heretical Player. I want to cut him down more and more. I hope he makes it far and doesn't get eliminated too soon."
