Chapter 580: Sudden Change! Chapter 580: Sudden Change! The spectator area was completely silent. Everyone was staring at the arena where the smoke had yet to dissipate.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the spatial vortex slowly disappeared, and there was no longer any obstruction in the middle.

The scene on the arena finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Man Dao stood in the middle of the arena, his two huge blade-like forelimbs covered in countless fine cracks.

Its bright green body was completely red, as if it was already cooked.

Most importantly, all the spectators could see that he had already fainted.

It was purely relying on its tough lower limbs to support its body.

On the other hand, Su Mo, who was not far away from him, also looked like he had been severely injured.

His entire body was covered in terrifying knife wounds, and the blood that flowed out almost dyed his entire body red.

His aura was extremely weak. It was obvious that he had suffered unimaginable injuries.

But even so, he still stood shakily on the stage.

He didn’t lose consciousness like Man Dao.

This meant that if he wanted to, he could easily kill Man Dao.

He confirmed again and again that Man Dao was indeed heavily injured and unconscious.

The judge, who had always been expressionless, looked at Su Mo and was slightly moved.

Then, he announced loudly,
“Star Pattern wins!”

Su Mo consumed a large amount of pills and walked down the stage with a weak expression.

Upon seeing his figure, a commotion broke out below the stage.

“This battle is too tragic.”

“That’s right. Although Starline won, he’ll only be able to enter the top twenty at most. His injuries definitely won’t be able to recover in one night.”

“That’s right. No matter who faces him tomorrow, they will easily win. It’s simply a free place in the top ten.”

“Sigh, who would have thought that the two favorites to win the championship would be eliminated early?”

” This is also the tragic and unexpected part of the arena battle. Before the last day arrives, no one can be sure who will truly win the championship. Even if it’s the current hot seed, if they meet early like Starline and Brute Blade, it’s very likely that both of them will be eliminated. In the end, the championship will fall into the hands of an unknown person.”

“In my opinion, there’s a fundamental problem with the Fallen Star Lake’s competition system. There’s no way to filter out the truly capable elites and let them obtain the rankings they deserve.”

“That being said, you should also know that luck is also a part of strength. If there is really a lucky person who doesn’t encounter any strong enemies all the way until he becomes the champion, then he can only be said to be the chosen one.

Moreover, even if experts like Starline and Man Dao couldn’t obtain a better ranking because they had fought against each other in advance, their strength was still seen by the higher-ups. If they were to make a choice, they would definitely prioritize these extremely powerful participants and not purely rely on rankings to judge them. This way, all parties would get the results they wanted. After all, the rewards of the competition were secondary. Choosing an army that was suitable for development was the most important thing in the future.”

“I hope it doesn’t end up in the worst possible situation. Putting everything else aside, I still want to see a truly capable player become the champion, not those clowns.”

“This will depend on everyone’s luck. At the very least, Starline will definitely not be in the top ten.”

..

As everyone discussed, Mixed Separation, Mengyue, Shenhua, and the other top contenders all looked at Su Mo, who had just walked off the stage.

Sensing that Su Mo’s aura was indeed very weak and that his injuries were quite serious, the few monsters all revealed looks of pity, as if they were lamenting that a strong player had been eliminated early.

Su Mo returned to his seat, and Fei Yue wanted to comfort him, but in the end, he stopped. He felt that no matter what he said, it would be like rubbing salt on his wound, so he might as well let himself be quiet for a while.

As for Su Mo, he was indeed as silent and depressed as he had imagined.

However, he was not dejected. In fact, there was nothing to be dejected about, because he was not injured at all.

The scene of serious injuries that he had created today was purely fake with the help of the Spirit Storing Godly Lamp.

As long as he slightly retracted the origin of the star pattern, the aura emitted from his body would naturally become weak.

No matter which great demon walked in front of him to check, there would not be any loopholes.

As for the external injuries on his body, although they looked terrifying, they could recover at any time.

After all, Man Dao, who had launched that attack, was already at the end of his rope.

The wounds on his body were all inflicted by himself.

Su Mo had thought about why he had pretended to be heavily injured.

In the eyes of outsiders, his strength was similar to Man Dao’s, and the moves he used in the end were also similar.

If he could easily kill the Barbarian Blade, he would not be injured at all.

Even the dumbest contestant would know that he had been hiding an exaggerated amount of strength.

In the following battle, the opponents would definitely do their best to deal with him, and they might even use tricks.

In order to avoid all this mess and make his path to the championship smoother, Su Mo decided to put on a disguise.

As for his performance in the arena tomorrow?

Can’t I recover well? Can’t I find a precious medicine?

In any case, there would always be an excuse to explain, and it would be difficult for others to doubt it.

As for his current silence and depression, it was naturally to show the state of a seriously injured person, and on the other hand, it was to maintain calm thinking.
