– Dazzling Stage
Qiao Yifan’s character rolled diagonally and it looked like he had made his way through the empty space beneath the blood cross . His dodge had been extremely dangerous . He had done it because he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to attack, while his opponent was still in the Ice Boundary .
Avoiding the Gore Cross, Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon raised the tip of his sword . He wanted to open another Ghost Boundary in order to seal off his opponent’s escape route . Using a successive Ghost Boundary to trap the opponent into a Boundary was a commonly used tactic among Phantom Demons . Qiao Yifan’s Ice Boundary surrounded Li Xuan’s Sword Demon . He believed that he had had opportunity and began casting another Boundary . But as soon as he began chanting, Li Xuan’s Sword Demon suddenly turned around and swung .
The two were quite a distance away from each other and a normal slash definitely wouldn’t hit . But after swinging his sword, the ground inside the Ice Boundary suddenly surged like a wave towards Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon .
Spellblade Skill: Earthquake Sword .
Li Xuan had only put in one point into this low-leveled Spellblade skill . This could be seen from the length of ground that had been swept forward . But it didn’t matter, so long as it reached where Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon was standing .
This time though, Qiao Yifan didn’t have a choice . If he was swept away by the Earthquake Sword, then his casting would definitely be interrupted . Helpless, he cancelled his casting and dodged the attack .
From Falling Light Blade to Gore Cross to Earthquake Sword . These low-leveled Blade Master, Berserker, and Spellblade skills had only been ranked up once . They weren’t learned for damage, but rather for their effects . By using these three low-leveled skills, Li Xuan’s Sword Demon safely escaped from the Ice Boundary, while Qiao Yifan was unable to set up another Boundary to trap his opponent .
Qiao Yifan felt that it was unfortunate . It hadn’t been easy to confine his opponent in the Ice Boundary . The Freeze effect had even worked . It had been a great opportunity, but he hadn’t been able to seize it .
But PK were always ever-changing . If an opportunity could be fully grasped so easily, then PK would be way too simple . Furthermore, his opponent was a God among Ghostblades . Even though Qiao Yifan felt that it was a pity, he wasn’t discouraged . He carefully observed the position of Li Xuan’s Sword Demon and rushed forward again .
Li Xuan wasn’t alarmed in the slightest, however . With just that single exchange, he fully grasped Qiao Yifan’s ability . His performance had been orderly and methodical, but it couldn’t be said that he was extremely skilled . Seeing Qiao Yifan rush forward, he didn’t hurry . Instead, he casually set up a Sword Boundary .
Qiao Yifan looked and immediately came to a stop . He wouldn’t let himself enter his opponent’s Boundary . Standing outside the boundary, he began to chant . Purple flames jumped up from his Phantom Demon’s blade, congealing into a flaming figure . He had cast a Flame Boundary .
With the ghost out, numerous dark-purple fire ghosts leapt into the area within the boundary . The ghosts scattered around as if they were looking for a target to burn . The Flame Boundary had been cast inside Li Xuan’s Sword Boundary . The two Boundaries overlapped . However, Li Xuan’s Sword Demon had already jumped backwards and didn’t set foot into the Flame Boundary .
Qiao Yifan didn’t think that the Flame Boundary would trap his opponent . The Boundary had been cast for his own protection, so he’d be able to enter the opponent’s Sword Boundary .
Everything sounded complicated, but in reality, it had all happened within the span of a few seconds . Inside the boundaries, the two moved around extremely quickly . Inside his Flame Boundary, Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon quickly dashed into Li Xuan’s Sword Boundary . But to his surprise, Li Xuan’s Sword Demon also suddenly rushed into his area as if he wasn’t afraid of the Flame Boundary’s damage .
Li Xuan’s charge forward had been outside of Qiao Yifan’s expectations . Li Xuan’s Sword Demon raised his sword with a Moonlight Slash and then slashed down . He would then naturally follow up with a Full Moonlight Slash closely after . Players had even given the combo a name: Double Moon Slash .
Qiao Yifan didn’t have the time to defend and the two strikes connected . The damage from a Sword Demon’s strike buffed by a max-leveled Sword Boundary was quite terrifying . The health bar on Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon went down a chunk, but he immediately stood back up with a Quick Recover . The opponent had rushed into his Flame Boundary . It was another opportunity for him .
But the audience could see the situation more clearly than he could .
The instant Li Xuan’s Sword Demon rushed into the Flame Boundary, those dark-purple flame ghosts immediately pounced at him . In that short interval, Li Xuan’s Sword Demon had used the Double Moon Slash and then leapt back . Even though those flame ghosts were quick, they hadn’t been able to hit him . Li Xuan’s Sword Demon had escaped from the Flame Boundary .
The audience cheered wildly .
Going into the Flame Boundary without being entangled by the purple flame ghosts was undoubtedly a testament to his extremely precise mechanics and decision-making . Li Xuan deserved to be called the number one Phantom Demon since no one else had a deeper understanding of these things than he did .
When Qiao Yifan got up, he saw that Li Xuan had escaped from the Flame Boundary . This time, he was surprised . At the same time, he faintly felt that he had failed to consider a few things when he had made his decision .
Li Xuan retreated and stopped moving again . He was waiting for Qiao Yifan to move up . He had entered his persona now and had completely taken this match as a teaching opportunity for the new rookie . He hoped to be a bit more stylish and more technical in order to erase the audience’s previous impression of him as wretched and without style .
Qiao Yifan no longer had a way out and could only move forward .
He used the terrain, pathing, and his character .
Dual Chain Boundaries, Triple Boundaries… . .
Qiao Yifan used everything he knew and without any mistakes either . Everything he did had been done 100% . However, it was no use . Every strategy he used was crushed by Li Xuan . From the audience’s cheers again and again, Qiao Yifan could tell that they weren’t towards him . His health continued to drop . After all these exchanges, he hadn’t even been able to take off a fifth of Li Xuan’s health .
Qiao Yifan was at a loss again .
The first time was because he had panicked after encountering something unexpected . After adjusting his attitude, he resolved that panic feeling . But this time, he felt completely powerless .
Qiao Yifan was already at wit’s end . All of the tricks and tactics he employed were all useless . None of them had made a difference . Every single one of his plans was destroyed by a single move from his opponent . The only thing that had happened with every exchange was his health bar depleting .
And his opponent? Throughout these numerous exchanges, his opponent never made the first move . He didn’t even dodge . He would always wait for him to rush forward . Then he would proceed to tear down his plans, calmly dissolving his attacks and easily countering back . Even when there was an opening, he wouldn’t combo him to death like he had done in the beginning . He would always let him go and have Qiao Yifan continue .

Beat his opponent?
Qiao Yifan no longer carried any hope of this fantasy . Even his ultimate goal of displaying his ability hadn’t been achieved . His thoughts and intents had been completely seen through and no matter how hard he tried, they never worked .
His health was already red . In the next exchange, he was afraid that he would go down .
Fight!
At this moment, what else could Qiao Yifan do? He once again focused and rushed forward . His fingers fluttered and his movements were quicker than before . His character quickly met with Li Xuan’s Sword Demon and he instantly set four Ghost Boundaries .
His opponent?
His opponent was once again standing outside of the boundary . He had been moving like this ever since Qiao Yifan’s first Ghost Boundary . His character constantly moved and slipped out from the small cracks in the four consecutively casted Ghost Boundaries .
Qiao Yifan felt hopeless . Movements he wasn’t even able to do in practice had been easily accomplished by his opponent . Li Xuan’s Sword Demon pounced on him and from his poker face, Qiao Yifan felt like he saw a cynical smile . No, not one, but two, no, three, no, even more…… some he recognized, some he didn’t .
The sword light swept down . Amidst the cheers, Qiao Yifan’s Phantom Demon fell .
Qiao Yifan stood up from his platform, dizzy . He knew that he had been completely crushed .
Qiao Yifan stood up from his platform, dizzy . He knew that he had been completely crushed .
Two pillars of light dropped down onto the two contestants . In the Rookie Challenge, both sides were given the same treatment .
Qiao Yifan walked down from his platform to the center of the stage . He saw Li Xuan standing in front of him, full of smiles . Li Xuan said a few words to him, but Qiao Yifan couldn’t hear any of it . He shook hands mechanically and then silently walked away from the stage .
Behind him, Li Xuan was waving his hands and calling out to the audience . Many of his words were in praise of Qiao Yifan’s performance . But Qiao Yifan knew that these words were just common courtesy . The other side was only showing off his style . The praise didn’t have anything to do with him . Even if he had just sat there stunned like he was in the beginning, Li Xuan would still praise: “Not bad . You played very well . ”
Qiao Yifan walked over to his seat and saw his teammates . They were supposed to be the people he knew best, but they felt like strangers now .
Qiao Yifan ground his teeth . He didn’t walk towards them and continued along the path past them .
“Yifan!”
He heard someone call him from behind . He could tell that it was Gao Yingjie’s voice . He didn’t stop and walked even faster .
The stadium’s lights were focused on the stage and were scattered sparsely around the audience’s seats . In order to enhance the effects for today’s projection technology, these unnecessary places were even darker . Gao Yingjie chased after him, but it was already too late to find which direction Qiao Yifan went .
After reaching the exit, Qiao Yifan couldn’t help but look back .
The stage was as dazzling as ever . It had been his first time going up onto such a beautiful stage, but he was afraid that it might be his last .
