"Next, please welcome the two finalists to the stage."
As the voice from the microphone faded, a resounding cheer erupted in the arena. Some people were chanting for Ye Wentian, while others for Wan Shijie, but the voices for Wan Shijie clearly overwhelmed Ye Wentian's. This was not surprising, after all, Wan Shijie had reached this point through sheer strength, whereas Ye Wutian seemed to have climbed his way up with luck.
To the cheers, Ye Wutian and Wan Shijie walked up to the arena with their heads held high and steps wide.
"Kid, you're really something, being able to claw your way up here," Wan Shijie said with a sneer as he looked at Ye Wutian opposite him.
