Ignoring these sarcastic remarks, Fade watched the following arena matches.
Round after round, Balton, Jaston, Mina and Saimus became the final four.
In the semi- finals, Balton was paired with Saimus and Jaston with Mina.
Jaston fought Mina for more than 20 minutes. Finally, he finished her off with a fierce bang.
On the other hand, Bolton was much faster. He managed to defeat Saimus in three moves and successfully advanced to the next level.
Bolton would face Jaston in the finals.
Jaston's eyes beamed full of pride. He looked at Balton and said confidently, "After this match, your first place will be mine."
At present, Balton could be said to be the undisputed first.
It didn't matter if they reached the top four the day before or that day itself, they were all impressive.
The crowd looked forward to seeing Jaston live up to his bold words against Balton. They gathered around to watch, while Fade watched from a distance.
With a single order, both sides clashed with each other.
Their positive energy surged, stirring up the entire arena. The crowd cried out in surprise.
At that moment, Fade narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "The outcome is evident. Jaston will lose."
"Fade, why do you think so? I don't think Balton has the upper hand either," Joey asked curiously.
Alicia also looked at him curiously. "Although Jaston's character is poor, he is still gifted. Look how strong he has gotten at the age of only seventeen."
"Jaston is indeed talented. When he is at Balton's age in four or five years, maybe he will win," Fade said faintly.
"But now, he's no match for Balton. Be it the strength of his positive energy, the utilization of his physical qualities, or the number of martial essences he has, Balton is still stronger than Jaston."
"Most importantly, Balton is very calm. He has no emotional reaction towards Jaston’s provocation."
"On the contrary, Jaston was too excited when he challenged Balton for the top spot."
"This kind of hot-blooded outburst may have positive effects at the beginning, but once the effect is gone, the consumption will increase and negative effects will be produced, affecting accuracy and judgment."
"Is that so?" Alicia and Joey looked at each other. They couldn't tell much of a difference.
Fade didn't explain further. He smiled and said, "You'll know if you keep observing."
Sure enough, at the beginning, Jaston clashed with Balton in a violent burst. They battled each other and their strength were almost equally matched, which aroused the cheers of the crowd.
However, a few minutes later, when Jaston's began to falter, Balton immediately overwhelmed him.
From then on, Jaston stood no chance at all.
Bolton was like a cold, yet calculative machine. He gradually intensified his attack, forcing Jaston back bit by bit, giving him no quarter.
Finally, Jaston fell to Balton's attacks. He was knocked down to the floor of the arena, unable to stand.
Although Jaston was very dissatisfied, he knew very well that Balton was stronger than he was and had him beat. In the end, he surrendered by his own volition.
Thus, the champion and the runner-up were determined.
