Gu Lan sat on the ground, stunned, not even picking up his Eye of the Lightning God. His face displayed a myriad of expressions. This battle was a loss not just of the competition, but even the belief in competition itself. Looking at his blood-covered opponent, he felt genuine fear from the bottom of his heart. At that moment, he didn't even feel humiliation—just pure fear.
Big Cat won, securing victory in this critical match and becoming the first to make it into the top eight of the sixteen-strong contest. Although it had paid a heavy price, it had suffered a serious setback in the group stage as well, yet in the next match, it feigned weakness to defeat its opponent once more. So who could say it would not appear in the quarterfinals? Who could say it wouldn't become even more powerful?
