The potion was a majestic purple, steaming with a wisp of light purple mist inside the bottle, making it look quite extraordinary – far surpassing any regular potion!
This potion, never seen before, imdiately drew the attention of all the spectators present. It seed quite likely to be another new kind of potion. One of Miyamoto Musashi’s hallmarks was his abundance of top-level potions.
As Miyamoto Musashi opened the cap of the potion, he glanced at Huang Yi and introduced it with nonchalance, "This potion is also an S-rank potion, nad Potion Effect Doubling Potion. Combined with the Protection of the God of Life I just used, I can have twenty tis the Health Points, and my chances of Immunity to death are also doubled." Having said that, he tipped the potion into his mouth without hesitation.
The audience was stunned upon hearing these words. Miyamoto Musashi had indeed brought out a brand-new S-rank potion – a rarity even to catch sight of for outsiders, yet several had appeared in his hands!
Huang Yi’s expression remained unchanged, still calmly staring at Miyamoto Musashi, he said from afar, "Do you have any other potions? You still have half a minute to prepare; once that ti passes, you won’t have the chance to use them any longer!"
Miyamoto Musashi was sowhat surprised to see that Huang Yi’s expression hadn’t changed at all.
Even if Huang Yi possessed an instant-kill potion, he should have shown so gravity at the sight of two S-rank potions being used consecutively. And yet, there he stood, looking utterly unconcerned, as if he had already clinched the championship of this match.
Miyamoto Musashi, gnashing his teeth, hesitated for a mont – a rarity for him – before flipping his palm over and pulling out another potion!
The audience imdiately scrutinized it again. Miyamoto Musashi’s potion was light yellow and extrely viscous, resembling an oil more than a potion.
This kind of potion was also never before seen – likely another new potion!
"Is this another S-rank potion?" Huang Yi finally showed a trace of interest and asked Miyamoto Musashi from a distance.
"Yes!" Miyamoto Musashi nodded, seemingly not minding the revelation of his secrets, and elaborated, "This potion is the Complete Cooldown Potion. My major skills can imdiately cool down completely. I have a major skill that has a certain chance of granting Immunity to the effects of an enemy’s potions."
After speaking, he drank the Complete Cooldown Potion as the whole venue watched in shock.
In just a few short seconds, Miyamoto Musashi had used three S-rank potions as if they were common potions. Everyone felt a deep sense of awe; each of these potions was a priceless treasure, difficult to acquire even with a great amount of money, yet Miyamoto Musashi had used them all in one go.
But even after using them, he still couldn’t guarantee that he would withstand Huang Yi’s instant-kill potion; all that was left was for him to cling to a sliver of hope.
Hearing the na of the "Complete Cooldown Potion," Huang Yi’s heart stirred, and he imdiately rembered the intelligence reported a few days earlier by Agent No. 2. The report had ntioned this potion, and he had thought that Miyamoto Musashi would save it for the team competition – he hadn’t expected it to be used now.
"Any more? Just the last ten seconds left to prepare!" Huang Yi announced the final countdown, his tone seed as if he was about to execute a death sentence on a prisoner, bringing imnse pressure.
"No need. These three potions are all I have to counter the instant-kill potion. Using any other thods would be pointless now. What cos next is in the hands of fate. If I’m immune to your instant-kill potion, the championship is mine. If I can’t be immune, then you are the Martial Emperor," said Miyamoto Musashi with a shake of his head, appearing completely resigned.
Huang Yi said nothing more, simply waiting quietly for the last few seconds of the countdown.
"Preparation ti is over; the match officially begins!" At that mont, the System Prompt finally sounded!
The finals had begun!
"Protection of the dicine God!" The very next mont, Miyamoto Musashi instantly activated a major skill. The reason he had used the Complete Cooldown Potion was precisely to utilize this major skill! It could last for an hour, had a certain chance of granting Immunity to the effects of an enemy’s potions, and could also extend the duration of his own potion effects by double.
Subsequently, Miyamoto Musashi stood in place without preparing to fight. He was now fully reliant on fate, having exerted all his efforts. If he still couldn’t avoid death, there was nothing more he could do.
At this mont, ten billion spectators around the world held their breath, staring intently at Huang Yi, waiting for him to use the instant-kill potion to slay Miyamoto Musashi, win the championship, and beco the Martial Emperor!
"It seems you’ve indeed exhausted all your thods!" Just then, Huang Yi spoke to Miyamoto Musashi, displaying a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.
Imdiately after, he sent a short ssage to Qin Shiyu, consisting of just two words—
"Dump it!"
These two words, hidden from the view of the ten billion spectators, reached a corner of the venue, received by a voluptuous woman wearing a mask.
"Already dumped!" Shortly after, Qin Siyu replied with a ssage.
With that ssage, Huang Yi let go of his last concern.
His clear eyes focused on Miyamoto Musashi, he suddenly put away his axe, and with a thin, eerie voice, uttered three words—
"I concede!"
The next mont, these three words echoed in the ears of countless people in the Second World!
Not only did these three words echo in every corner of the Earth, they also rang out from countless handheld photon brains, from countless signal reception devices, from the ears of all humanity!
The whole world simultaneously froze in shock!
Ti seed to stand still at that mont!
In everyone’s minds, the words Huang Yi had just spoken were reverberating—
"I surrender!"
At that mont, they had all beco illiterate, unable to comprehend the aning of these three words, as if they were a very unfamiliar phrase, words they had never heard before.
Ti felt as long as a century, and the whole world was like a still photograph, where everyone had beco a motionless background, and only Huang Yi continued to move, bowing to the audience before teleporting away, vanishing from the battlefield of the competition.
"[System Prompt]: Miyamoto Musashi has won this battle and has beco the individual competition’s champion."
The next mont, the system prompt thundered throughout the arena!
This cold voice, like a bucket of ice water, suddenly woke the stunned world with a splash!
It was then that people finally understood what the sentence "I surrender" really ant!
Huang Yi had actually given up on the match! He did not choose to use the instant-kill potion!
Miyamoto Musashi won! He grabbed the championship! He beca the Martial Emperor!
This sent the whole world into utter uproar!
All the dia reporters, all the comntators, countless spectators, all looked at each other, incoherently expressing their shock!
"Why, why would the God of Slaughter give up the match?!"
"Can anyone tell , why forego the use of the instant-kill potion?!!! Why doesn’t he want the Martial Emperor Title? Why doesn’t he want to be the champion?"
"What on earth is he doing?! How could this happen! It was supposed to be China’s honor, why give it to a Japanese?!"
At this mont, the whole world was questioning the sa issue, but no one could provide an answer!
Miyamoto Musashi was completely dumbfounded; he had been at an absolute disadvantage, but suddenly, he inexplicably won the championship and beca the Martial Emperor, an object of everyone’s envy, with a bright future ahead...
It felt like a dream, so illusionary, so unbelievable; he couldn’t help but pinch his thigh, only to feel a sharp pain—it was not a dream! All of this was real!
He truly won! He truly beca the Martial Emperor!
...
"Sister Xiao Yu, why did brother give up the match? Has he gone mad? Why did he surrender?" At that mont, Xiao Chunzi was anxiously gripping Qin Shiyu’s arm, her voice filled with urgency.
"No!" Qin Shiyu shook her head slightly, "He won."
"Why?" Xiao Chunzi wrinkled her little nose, asking in confusion.
"You’ll understand soon! Let’s go!" After saying this, Qin Shiyu patted Xiao Chunzi’s head and imdiately teleported away, leaving the two-dinsional battlefield.
The entire two-dinsional battlefield was left with nothing but shocked faces; even the mbers of the Hero Guild were no exception, no one knew what had happened.
So dia reporters, after the initial shock, quickly thought of so terrifying implications and imdiately started analyzing for the global audience—
"Dear viewers! Now, the situation has taken an unexpected turn; the God of Slaughter’s surrender will cause a massive shockwave! First, the Hero Guild, to which the God of Slaughter belongs, will suffer a severe blow. The God of Slaughter’s actions in this match carry the suspicion of betraying national interests. The Hero Guild will inevitably be implicated and face the scorn of all of China, even becoming a public enemy. Consequently, their stock will plumt—those who hold shares in the Hero Guild, your stocks might have beco worthless in the blink of an eye! In contrast, with Miyamoto Musashi winning the individual championship, he faces a promising future, and winning the group championship should be a piece of cake. The stocks of the Martial Arts Guild will undoubtedly skyrocket..."
So viewers, upon hearing this, suddenly realized the consequences, hurriedly logged off, and accessed the stock trading websites to check their stocks!
Indeed, the stock prices for the Hero Guild took a steep nosedive, the screen filled with green; in less than a few minutes after the match ended, they had already fallen by more than 20%! The world’s highest-valued guild was crumbling before their very eyes!
So individuals and institutions that held stocks of the Hero Guild frantically started selling their shares, but with countless others doing the sa, it was difficult to find buyers; they had to repeatedly lower their asking price!
