Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

If Yue Ying isn't fighting, who dares say they have even a fifty percent chance?

All one can hope for is that the "Wind King's Shelter" of the storm can create some trouble for the opponent...

...

["Lucky Strike" Charge +3.]

Bai E's eyes, upon receiving this unexpected prompt, indifferently avoided the storm's fist, which wasn't particularly huge.

Compared to Zoro, the Elf known as Storm was indeed slightly more troublesome.

After falling into his Abyssal Domain, Bai E could distinctly feel another force that could contend with it to some extent.

Before the power within the Abyssal Domain could peak due to repeated collisions, the invisible force surrounding the opponent was completely capable of neutralizing the pulling force of the Abyssal Domain on him.

This allowed him to closely approach without being thoroughly toyed with and completely defeated like Zoro.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Storm's strikes were as fast as startled swans, and his movements were far more agile than a fish in water.

Seeing Storm immediately display a sort of "suppression" effect upon entering the fray, the Elves spectating burst into excitement, "I told you he's no match for Storm!"

"Once he's up against Storm, his true colors are revealed, aren't they?"

"Zoro was just careless, not expecting humans to have such strange tricks up their sleeve, otherwise he wouldn't have lost."

Unfortunately, the smiles on their faces didn't last more than three seconds, as the sound of a physical collision instantly resonated throughout the arena.

"Bang!"

The fist landed solidly on Storm's abdomen, and even his light-as-a-feather body was blasted away by the punch.

With a "duang," he crashed against the edge of the Spiritual Barrier around the field, then plummeted down.

"Bang!"

The sound of his body crashing onto the ground rang out like a warning bell in every Elf's heart.

...

"How could this be?"

'It's still come to this...' Xunying's face, already pale, turned even frostier upon hearing the exclamations of his fellow kin, with only a bitter smile hanging on his lips.

How could that human general be strong just because of that strange ability?

In his initial encounter with the beastman, he relied solely on his pure physical strength, suppressing the beastman without giving him a chance to fight back!

Did they really think getting close would lead to victory?

Having observed the entire battle between the human general and the beastman, she was well aware that the human general's initial fight with the beastman was purely a display of brute force without much technical advantage.

It was just that the beastman was a blockhead, lacking any method to turn the tables when overpowered by strength. If it had been that human general from that time, perhaps Storm, or even Zoro, might have found a way based on skill to maybe pull off a lucky win.

But it seemed as though, in the battle with the beastman, looking for a way to save energy, the human general had honed his combat skills to the point of seamless integration.

Facing him now, at the pinnacle of his abilities, Xunying didn't think anyone she knew, aside from Yue Ying, stood even a half-chance at defeating him.

She just hoped… that Storm wouldn't lose too badly.

...

Storm, having risen from the edge of the Spiritual Barrier, shook his head, feeling dazed.

Despite their Elves' seemingly fragile bodies, they didn't flinch when it came to taking a beating.

Although the punch had disoriented him greatly, the few seconds of shock hadn't caused any fatal damage.

The punch had caused more damage to the head…

At this moment, his mind was in a blank white haze.

There was a kind of pristine beauty, untouched by corruption.

What happened?

Was I punched?

This punch… did it really throw me from there, to here?

The lightning-fast moment just now was already a blur to him, but the lingering feeling of that punch in his body was still there to be savored.

This… how am I supposed to fight this?

I thought it was just a bit of strange ability that sneakily took down my own kin, Zoro, when suddenly the opponent pulled out a new advantage and told me that this was actually my trump card.

How do you fight this?

Storm's mind was a maze of confusion, but the opponent wasn't going to give him much time to think.

Bai E didn't actually mind giving this somewhat dazed opponent a bit more time to think of tactics.

It's always better to discover one's own weaknesses during the sweat of battle to make early amends than to be fatally struck at a critical moment by an enemy.

But unfortunately, the audience wouldn't allow it, nor did Bai E believe he had that ability.

Landing from afar like a cannonball, Storm instinctively dodged with the lightness of a feather.

But this time... he keenly felt that the pulling force on his body was far stronger than at the beginning.

Storm, who controlled similar abilities, immediately became vigilant, realizing the true nature of this human warrior's ability—

It drew on the residual power from the battle, whether his own or his opponent's, turning it all to his own use.

As the fight progressed, this restraining force would only get stronger.

His protection from the Wind King was fixed, but the opponent's strength increased with the fight.

And it wasn't born from Spiritual Energy, nor did it have any issues of endurance...

You can't withstand it up close, and fighting at mid-range is just a slow death.

The conclusion was clear at a glance, and reason returned to Storm's mind.

Instead of losing all dignity to a beating by the opponent, it was better to admit defeat!

At least one could then ensure a healthy body and a clear mind for the subsequent battles and strategic rivalry with the humans.

With this thought, Storm shouted, "I concede!"

"Whoosh!" The fist, with the force of the wind, stopped less than twenty centimeters from Storm's face.

Bai E raised an eyebrow slightly and withdrew his fist.

Since the opponent had already surrendered, it wasn't appropriate to pursue and attack relentlessly.

Only he felt a bit regretful internally, 'Such a crafty creature.'

Not having been able to give a sound thrashing to this blabbermouth annoyed Bai E.

However, from the humans' perspective, achieving victory without a fight was seen as a higher level of skill.

"General Bai E!"

"Awesome!"

Cheers thundered through the air!

Even if some of the less combat-savvy spectators felt the victory was too easy, there was also a sense of guilty pleasure, as if their own people had secretly cheated.

But the opponent had formally conceded, so could they report their own side?

The frustration of having lost all previous contests against the Elf Race was finally exhaled fiercely, making General Bai E, in the eyes of all the human spectators, instantly the strongest warrior in the city! Without peer!

Watching Storm return, still somewhat disheveled, the old human said with a beaming smile, "I'm sorry, but it seems we've won this contest."

Storm tried to keep a stern face, merely snorting coldly, "A win or loss in one or two contests doesn't mean anything! I admit, occasionally there are a few exceptional individuals among your human warriors. We may have lost this contest, but in the next..."

"What do you mean 'may'?" the old man chuckled coldly, pressing the point.

"That's right!" Storm, choked by the retort, glared fiercely at the other, but the occasional pain in his chest made it hard for him to maintain his composure, and he quickly changed the subject, "But in the next contest, you won't be so lucky! Our contestant remains the same. What about yours?"

"Ours?" The old man's lips curled into a cold smirk, firmly and fiercely uttering a name, "General Bai E!"

The old man had initially refused General Bai E's request to participate in all the contests.

But after the first contest's decisive victory by General Bai E, one couldn't help but feel an unrealistic hope for him.

For politicians like them, such illusory hope was the last emotion they should harbor.

But what could be done, when he was Bai E?

And with the endorsement of Helen of the Scientific Research Institute, since they had already won one contest, why not let General Bai E try again?

Once again hearing the name that instinctively made one's heart tremble, Storm stiffened, "Still Bai E?"
