With that, this representative admitted defeat in less than an hour, which shocked everyone present. Even Knox took more than two hours to make his opponent yield.
However, since the people weren’t totally convinced of Rocky’s strength, they assumed that it was just a fluke.
Soon enough, the four warriors who were advancing towards the next round were determined. They were Ramon from the Sword Spirit Sect, Knox from the Grand Sky Sect, Edgar from the Sovereign Pavilion, and Rocky, who was disguised as the representative of the Heaven Shadow Pavilion.
“Right now, I will draw the pairings that will face each other in the next round. The winners from these battles will gain the spot for the final battle!” Hannah announced as the audience grew curious about the match-ups.
There was an uproar in the crowd, knowing that the battles would definitely be fierce and they would have a chance to witness such a good showdown. Of course, they were actually assuming that Knox and Edgar would face off in the finals if they wouldn’t be paired in the upcoming round.
Therefore, everyone was at the edge of their seats as they waited for the names to be drawn.
Then, Hannah began to draw the names. Even she was nervous because this would affect the final result.
After taking out the first two names, there was an evident change on Hannah’s face. She couldn’t help but frown, seeing that she drew the worst pairing for the Sword Spirit Sect. However, since it was already drawn, there was nothing that could be done to change it.
Hence, she showed the names to the people and announced them. The first competitor was Ramon, and his opponent would be Knox. It also meant that Rocky’s opponent would be Edgar from the Sovereign Pavilion.
“This is such an unlucky turn! Ramon is actually paired with Knox first, and Basil will be up against Edgar. The window for winning the final match is very slim! I originally hoped that Ramon and Basil will be paired in the upcoming round to ensure that he could enter the final match without any problem…” Timothy’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at Rocky. He knew that Edgar was not an easy opponent. He had amazing talent and was also the last disciple of the current sect leader of the Sovereign Pavilion. It was said that he had learned many of his master’s unique skills, so Timothy thought there was no assurance that Rocky could win against him.
Of course, this was also what everyone was thinking. With the announcement of the match-ups, everyone thought that the final pairing was already decided. In terms of strength, even though Ramon was an excellent warrior, Knox was still far superior to him. At the same time, between Edgar and Rocky, the people didn’t even know Rocky’s real strength, so it was just expected that they were counting him out.
After a while, everyone left the area excitedly and couldn't wait for tomorrow’s battles.
Although Rocky knew that Ramon didn’t have a good chance of winning over Knox, he decided not to go and see Ramon. He thought that what Ramon needed most right now was to calm down and think carefully of a way to deal with his opponent.
Then, the following morning came quickly. Even before the appointed time of the battle, the Sword God Square was already filled with people. After all, the battles today were the most crucial ones.
Benedict, the leader of the Grand Sky Sect, was also present together with his son.
