Ramon’s hard-fought victory made the members of the Sword Spirit Sect breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he won the next match, he would be able to reach the finals. By then, his chances of winning the entire competition would be at least fifty percent.
“Well done! I must say that his performance was really impressive.” At the same time, Rocky, who was watching on the sidelines expressed his admiration. He could see that with Ramon’s current strength, as long as he didn’t meet someone far superior to him, then he shouldn’t have any trouble fighting to the end.
“Today’s tests are all over. The next two battles will not start until tomorrow morning!” Hannah briefly announced. It was already dusk when the events for that day finished.
After that, the representatives of the clans and sects headed back and the spectators also left the area.
Ramon, as well as the four participants who weren’t able to fight that day, returned to their respective lounges.
Rocky went to his lounge and took off his disguise first before going to Ramon's lounge to congratulate him.
“What a spectacular win! You deserved it!” Rocky commented as soon as he saw Ramon.
“Thank you. I must say that it’s all because of you. If I stuck to my ways in the past, I might have lost miserably. After being with you for a long time, I learned to adjust accordingly to what the situation is. With that, my movements became a bit unpredictable,” Ramon said with sincerity. He knew that changing his tactics was a risky move. If he failed, the other party might have taken advantage of it. But he was glad that he believed in himself and risked it.
“Well, adapting to changing circumstances is really a skill that one must master, and I think that you’ve done well in that aspect. However, I’m afraid that from here on, any opponent you face must be difficult to deal with,” Rocky warned.
Ramon nodded and reassured him, “I am also aware of that and mentally prepared.”
“Remember when I told you before that you have to reach the final round first so that I could help you? Thus, no matter what, you need to win your next match,” Rocky reminded.
“Well, yeah. But you didn’t explain the reason to me,” Ramon said, confused as to how Rocky would be able to help him in the last round.
“Just trust me. You’ll know when that time comes.” Rocky didn’t tell Ramon his plan right away because it might only make him overthink.
“Okay then.” Knowing Rocky’s way of doing things, Ramon didn’t ask anymore.
The two of them chatted about Ramon’s experiences during his previous fight for a while before Rocky eventually left.
Then, the next day, the two remaining matches ensued. Among the participants was Knox of the Grand Sky Sect, and people thought whoever he fought, he would still advance to the next round.
Soon enough, Hannah drew the names for the pairing. One of them was Knox, and it turned out that his opponent was not Edgar, but someone from another lesser-known sect.
