As soon as the parrot finished its words, the twenty-first round started. A new batch of robots spawned just like the previous rounds, just that this time, the robot totems are equipped with wheels and keep moving in a fixed range. Sky stared at the robot for a few seconds, he looks rather disappointed. He looked around again and saw about half of the participants are having a hard time against those moving totems. He sighed and raised his right hand, brutally grabbed and crushed the robot totem when it was running in his direction. Blair saw all these rather cute actions of Sky, he laughed out a bit before giving a hard punch and pierced through the moving totem in front of him.
After that seemly ridiculous twenty-first round, only two participants are eliminated, the twenty-second round started shortly after it. Surprisingly, the difficulty of this round shoots up drastically, it's speed, agility and defensive power can be seen increased greatly. Sky sneered a bit, then he once again raised his hand and crushed that totem with his telekinetic magic...

Viewer's platform.
"Hmm... I wonder who is the flashy one now?" said Ben who just returned to his seat after going back from somewhere.
"But everyone looks quite amused though, if compared to how they reacted to Bobby... Heh? Ben-chan! Where were you just now?" Maria asked.
"Getting some snacks." said Ben while throwing a pack of potato chips to Maria.
"Ah... I never know you are a snack person." said Maria.
"In fact, I'm not." said Ben, in a rather suspicious attitude.
At the other side of the viewer's platform, the cowboy girl from the accuracy test watched the test with her teammates.
"Woohoo! That guy is amazing! I wonder how did he squish that robot just like that?" said the cowboy girl.
"Mhmm! He certainly looks like a really strong opponent for us, can't wait to have a real match with him." said a man who is with the girl.
"I am excited about that too!" said another man...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The twenty-fifth round had finally over. Only forty-one participants 'survived'. The difficulty of that round was quite high, most of the survived participants had a really hard time passing that round. Well... Most of them. Sky crushed the totem robot effortlessly like a piece of jelly. Even Blair and K feel a little bit of difficulty in this round, just a little bit though.
And so, the most anticipating round had come, the twenty-sixth round started. The totem robots spawned as the previous rounds, just that, this round's atmosphere is a little bit different, it gives a rather heavy and intense feeling, the totem robots have a different look compared to the previous rounds, instead of covered with some fancy pattern, they are covered by more than ten magic circles, Sky recognized some of it as ancient offensive magic circles.
Like the previous round, Sky observed all the other participants before taking any action, just that this round, instead of out of boredom, it is now a sign of alertness...
The totem robots for this round acts differently compared to the previous rounds, or rather it is not moving at all. Noticing this trait of the totem robots, some of the oblivious participants see this as an opportunity and easy win, without any further consideration, they gave the totem a brutal direct hit. However, just as expected, the totem robots did not receive any visible damage from those ruthless attacks, most importantly, the failed attacks had successfully activated parts of the magic circles on the totems...
In less than a minute after this round started, five participants had been eliminated due to serious injuries caused by the totem. Despite of this, the twenty-sixth round still continues regardless of the potential casualty that might happen...
After observing the terrifying consequences of the failed attacks, Sky had pretty much figured out what strategies should be used. Basically, it is a one-hit mode, that one hit will decide the fate of the participants. In short, the participants need to finish off the totem in one hit.
Sky gave out a long sigh before pulling out his Flash (sword) from the air. Then he focused his magic a bit and slashed through the totem robot, splitting it into halves.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an hour of struggle, thirty participants including Sky succeed in destroying the totem while the remained participants choose to give up on the test, judging of what happened in the defense test, which means those thirty participants had passed the test. Just like the previous tests, they need to determine the number ranking, and so, the test continues. However...
"Can I choose to stop in this round? Since I had already passed the test, the ranking means nothing for me." said Sky to the parrot who was about to call out for the next round. The parrot remained silent for a few seconds before starts talking with that unusual voice again.
"Yes, by right you are allowed to choose to stop in this test since you had already passed but are you sure about it? The ranking is quite important as well." said the parrot.
"Well, it doesn't matter for me, so, I would like to exit the field now." said Sky, with a firm manner.
"Alright, if you insist..."
"Mr. Emcee, I would like to withdraw from the field as well." said Blair out of the blues.
"Eh?"
"And Mr. K too." Blair added.
"Ugh... I see, you may leave the field, I shall not stop you." said the parrot, rather unprepared by these sudden changes.
And so, without any delay, the three guys left the field, along with some other participants that get influenced by them...

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
