"Clang!"
The splendid white light continued to shine from the pure white Urm Manadyte. Just like Ardi's earlier transformation, it enveloped the entire stage with a dazzling radiance.
"That is…" Ardi couldn't help but be astonished.
Clearly, Ardi recognized what was happening before him. After all, within Ardi's own body, there was something similar.
Not just Ardi, but the sharp-eyed live commentators in the broadcast booth also noticed this.
"Ev… everyone, please look! Contestant Fang's Lux Core Manadyte is actually white!"
"All Manadytes are uniformly green; there's no such thing as a white Manadyte!"
"So, in other words, that's not a Manadyte but an Urm Manadyte, right?"
"That's right, contestant Fang is currently using not just Lux but Ogre Lux!"
Accompanied by the live commentators' voices, the spectators in the stands were taken aback one by one, followed by excitement.
In this match, Fang Li's performance was truly beyond everyone's expectations. No one had expected that Fang Li, who had never shown his full strength before, possessed such tremendous power and wielded Ogre Lux.
First was Ardi's fusion.
Now, Fang Li's trump card was revealed.
Combined with the intense battle, this unexpected turn of events was truly exhilarating for the spectators.
At this moment, the audience didn't hold back their cheers.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, almost everyone in Asterisk City was watching this match.
"However, it's about time to bring it to a close," Fang Li said, raising Bo Xie in his hand and pointing it towards Ardi from afar.
"I don't want to stop here, so please, become my stepping stone and let me go even further!"
With these words, Fang Li's body suddenly surged with a large amount of Prana, the mana was so dense that it seemed like it had transformed into flowing light, shimmering and twinkling.
In an instant, Fang Li mobilized all of his body's Prana without the slightest hesitation, channeling it all into the Ogre Lux in his hand.
"Clang!"
A dazzling white light, unlike anything seen before, glittered from Bo Xie's Urm Manadyte, illuminating the surroundings.
"Hum…"
Within the radiance, the atmosphere began to tremble abruptly and it was as if it had turned into a vortex. Centered around Bo Xie's blade, it gradually converged.
At first glance, it seemed like streams of air were flowing toward Fang Li, complemented by the towering Prana. It was as if a nebula had suddenly appeared on the stage, reaching a level of beauty beyond compare.
Only Ardi could sense it.
Beneath this beautiful scene lay a deadly threat.
However, Ardi wasn't alarmed; instead, he was pleased.
"Well done!" Ardi shouted loudly.
"In that case, I'll give it my all too. Let's settle this with one decisive move!"
A blue radiance instantly burst forth from Ardi's body as he finished speaking.
Its brilliance was no less dazzling than Bo Xie.
Immediately after, the radiant light converged into the enormous hammer in Ardi's hand, which he raised high.
"Clang!"
The enormous hammerhead, radiating with a blue brilliance, began to rotate. With a roaring gust of wind, it transformed completely into a spinning wind wheel, too dazzling to look at directly.
On one side, there was a convergence of airflow beneath the white radiance.
On the other side, there was a spinning wind wheel beneath the blue radiance.
Fang Li and Ardi had invested their full power into this single strike, and their gazes met in mid-air.
Then, it erupted.
"Hah!"
Fang Li shouted loudly and swung down the Ogre Lux in his hand.
The airflow gathered within the pure white sword's body went on a rampage, transforming into a Tatsumaki-like whirlwind, resembling a drill breaking through the sky, and violently shot forward.
"Take this! Wolnir Hammer!"
Simultaneously, Ardi suddenly swung the giant hammer in his hand, causing the wind-wheel-like hammerhead to once again surge violently. Amidst the dazzling blue radiance, it shot forward.
Tornado-like wind split the atmosphere as it went straight ahead.
The blue wind wheel spun intensely and moved forward to meet it.
Wherever the two forces passed, the ground cracked inch by inch, spreading a network of fine fissures, creating a terrifying spectacle.
In this situation, under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, the tornado-like wind and the blue wind wheel collided suddenly.
"BOOM!"
A thunderous explosion echoed through the sky. The Tornado like wind and the blue wind wheel, upon impact, exploded in a burst of overwhelming shockwaves and intense flames, creating an unprecedented explosion.
The blast waves swept out, rushing in all directions, directly striking the defense barriers around the stage. The intense friction made the defense barriers look like they were on the verge of collapsing, leaving people trembling in fear.
The result of this collision seemed to last an eternity.
After a long time, the blast waves finally began to gradually subside, calming the commotion on the stage.
All the spectators immediately leaned forward, staring in the direction of the stage.
It didn't take much time and soon two figures appeared in their field of vision.
Fang Li was on one knee on the ground, Bo Xie stabbed beside him, supporting his body. He was taking a breather, and his eyes were filled with exhaustion.
Opposite Fang Li, Ardi stood his ground, his giant hammer having lost its hammerhead, but his posture remained unyielding.
However, Ardi's body was covered in cracks.
As the audience witnessed this scene, they were left speechless.
It wasn't until a series of uniform cracking sounds rang out simultaneously.
"Pā Tà…"
It could be seen that the emblems on the chests of both Fang Li and Ardi simultaneously cracked and fell to the ground.
The mechanical announcement immediately followed.
"Fang Li, emblem damaged."
"Ernesta-Kühne, emblem damaged."
Both of them had been eliminated at the same time.
However, the competition was a tag team match, not a solo battle.
While everyone was stunned by this result, in a corner of the stage, Cecily had appeared before Rimsy, who remained silent. She flashed a mischievous grin at him.
Not long after, the mechanical voice sounded again.
"Camilla-Pareto, emblem damaged."
"The competition is over. The winners are Fang Li and Cecily-Wang."
The entire arena fell into complete silence.
After a long pause, an incredible roar of cheers erupted from the audience stands and continued for a long time.
