Pillar of Yita

No way, because if the rules aren’t changed, Ragnarok is obviously the biggest beneficiary of the Shadow Throne’s match-fixing. Not to mention, the collaboration between the Super Competitive League and Ragnarok makes people involuntarily think about whether there is a conspiracy involved.

In the eyes of the average audience, the reputation of the Super Competitive League hasn’t improved much since Mount Holy Pact.

Tianlan tried to defend Ragnarok a bit, but she was scolded fiercely, causing her to angrily kick Luo Yu beside her.

Luo Yu looked at her innocently.

Fang Hong was rather calm.

He saw Liuli Yue come down silent, sitting alone in a corner. Mulan wanted to go up and comfort him, but was pulled back by Fang Hong: ”Don’t go, let him be alone.” Fang Hong shook his head at Mulan.

Jokingly, he didn’t think Liuli Yue was wallowing in self-pity; it was more likely the prelude to a fit of rage.

He patted Dill’s shoulder, signaling her to go on stage.

Although the young girl wasn’t fond of talking, she nodded seriously at him and went up.

The third round was Magic Potion Studies, chosen by them as the main opportunity to score points. Dill did not disappoint, earning a score of 97 and then calmly left the stage.

However, since Ragnarok had already performed this routine in the previous round, people weren’t surprised. What took them aback was that the Ancient Tower Artisan Guild also scored 97 points this round, even Fang Hong couldn’t help but glance at the squinting glasses guy.

Impressive, this person, given time his scores might not fall below Vikki, or perhaps even surpass her.

Fang Hong thought.

After the third round, the total points of the teams changed respectively - with the Ancient Tower Artisan Guild still leading with 283.6 points, followed by Golande Artisan’s General Guild with 279.1 points and Elfendo Council with 280.5 points.

The contestant named Linen didn’t surprise Fang Hong, scoring a clean 97.5 points, leading all teams, even surpassing Elfendo Council’s score over Golande Artisan’s General Guild by one point.

As Linen left the stage, Fang Hong couldn’t help but look at him - this is the level of a craftsman who’s been to the Hall of Thousand Doors, even Dill, who learned Elf Alchemy temporarily, wasn’t a match for him.

After three rounds, the difference between the teams was basically clear.

At least to ordinary people, the champion will be produced between the Ancient Tower People and Elfendo Council’s contestants, although the gap with Golande Artisan’s General Guild isn’t huge, but one must look at the contestants for the last two rounds of the main match.

On one side is the legendary girl Vikki of the Ancient Tower People, on the other is Elfendo people’s Dragon Slayer Rolin, as for the contestant from the Silver Forest Spear of Golande Artisan’s General Guild, compared to the two is only considered as mediocre.

Moreover, people heard that during previous training, the craftsman from the Silver Forest Spear couldn’t compete with the Ancient Tower People.

These are the three teams capable of competing for the championship—

Outside of this, of course no one considers Ragnarok. After three rounds, Ragnarok’s score was 271.5 points, not to mention comparing with the first place, even compared to Golande Artisan’s General Guild, the gap was nearly ten points.

No matter whether on the square or in the live broadcast room, as long as the audience had normal thinking ability, they wouldn’t believe Ragnarok could catch up later.

Of course, the worst was still Shadow Throne, with scores not even reaching 265 points, no one paid attention to this team anymore.

However, Fang Hong already fully understood that for Count Westwood Sibika, Shadow Throne had ’gloriously’ fulfilled its ’historical mission’, just very few people saw this clearly—

Dill came down stage, and softly apologized to everyone: ”Sorry.”

In her view, she could have scored higher and learned Elf Alchemy from Fang Hong, but failed to achieve the highest score in this round. Basically, her failure to get the highest score declared this battle already over.

She looked at Fang Hong, with her head lowered.

No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t carry the three of them forward alone. Especially in a regular competition, while there may be differences between people, the differences between top craftsmen are often limited.

However, Fang Hong shook his head, gently patting the slightly frail shoulder of the girl.

”It’s okay.”

The boy responded gently.

Dill and Cui Yu beside her raised their heads to look at him.

Meanwhile, Fang Hong stared at the arena, raised his hand, lightly pushed forward with his left hand, and adjusted the output mode of ’Pride of the Lonely King’ onto the craftsman mode with a soft click.

Then he lowered the hand pressing on the girl’s shoulder, walking past her without a word.

The Alchemist’s jacket lightly fluttered behind him, leaving just a silhouette of the coat corner for the two.

Barely anyone looked in that direction—

Because the arena was buzzing with excitement, Vikki and Rolin were also entering.

As the five captains of the five teams all walked separately up to the stage.

Now, people cared more about the stars among those contestants—such as the genius girl from the Ancient Tower, and Elfendo’s own Dragon Slayer Hero—thousands of eyes in the square and live broadcast room focused on the two.

What follows might be a fierce confrontation.

People thought.

The sky seemed to get darker.

A familiar light shield was rising from Elfendo’s spire—that was the city’s defense barrier, slowly descending, covering towards the northern sky—there was the direction of Fanric’s Port District.

But not many cared about this scene.
