Two people were left standing for the Hunters while there were still five players for the Blood Lotus.
The audience cannot help but sigh and shook their heads in disappointment.
"Here it is, the downfall of Hunters."
"Man, I can't believe this! Is this really it?"
"I told you Blood Lotus will take the crown this year."
"Hey, I should probably rip my posters off."
Comments from the audience were very negative. Some of them cursed Hunters, while others were sad. It was as if their whole world has fallen apart. But, on the front of those seats, was a girl who never lost her trust and believed her idol with all her heart.
'Fighting!'
She thought to herself like maybe it could reach Liang Feng through telepathy.
..
"Aiyo, your comrades are very weak, Team Captain."
The leader of Blood Lotus spoke using the headset. He was very smug and proud of what he has accomplished. Unfortunately for him, Liang Feng wasn't even affected.
"Tian, you have my back, right? Just heal me from the sides and I'll do the rest. If you see me having a hard time, you can do whatever you want."
Liang Feng was focused on his character while speaking.
"You know, you might not even need me to heal you. Just go and take them out. I need to scold three specific people."
Hao Tian smirked.

Seeing as how Moonlight was not moving, the Blood Lotus' captain immediately charges toward him with his spear. He already thought Moonlight was depressed and wouldn't have the will to fight. But on the last second, his spear was deflected and thrown into the air by Moonlight's spear. In just a second, Moonlight then vanished, leaving him rattled. Little did he know that his teammates were being massacred one by one.
He only realized when Moonlight spoke
"No one can defeat me."
Seeing his four fallen comrades, the captain was conquered by fear and couldn't evaluate whether to attack or to defend. Just as when he was still deciding, a sword plunged into his character's body.
"Fall."
It was Sunshine's sword that pierced him.
..
The crowd went wild after witnessing the sudden change in events.
"How did they do it?!"
"This is the power of Moonlight. Oh my, I'm adoring him more and more."
"The arena is the God of Battle's territory! No one can defeat him!"
"Hey, give credits to my Sunshine as well! He did the finishing blow!"
Yingyue was dumbfounded. She really did believe in him but was still shocked with the outcome while Huiyin was talking to herself.
"These people, a couple of minutes ago they're hating on Hunters. But now that they won, they're rejoicing. What a bunch of idiots!"
Yingyue was able to regain herself from shock as her lips curved upward and jumped for joy.
HOST: "THE WINNER OF THE FIRST MATCH IS HUNTERS!"
The crowd cheered in excitement and shouted not just because Hunters won, but because they knew that they would take the championship crown again. The huge obstacle in their path was just Blood Lotus and if they were eliminated, it was a sure take-home for Hunters.
..
Time passed by and teams in the tournament were being eliminated one after the other at the hands of the Hunters. At the end of the event was announced that Hunters are still the champions.
..
Inside a bus
"Hey, what are you dozing off for?"
Huiyin said as she waved her hand on Yueying's face.
Yueying noticed her movements so she snapped back to reality.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just can't believe that my Moonlight is still the greatest. Ha-hah"
She replied and gave an awkward laugh.
While it's true that she was thinking about the tournament, at the same time, she also was thinking about Liang Feng whom she met during the day.
'Where could he be right now? Is he happy that Hunters won?'
She thought to herself.
