Chapter 450: Outplaying the Sss-Rank Genius (Requesting Monthly Votes)
On the Audience Stand, spectators watched projections of the two combatants battling.
Viewers from various nations perked up with interest.
“This match has two exceptional contestants,” someone remarked.
“Tracy Campbell from the White Eagle Federation—a sophomore Sss-Rank Genius, Sixth Realm martial artist, and already mastering a Minor Divine Ability.”
“She’s a guaranteed top 63 contender unless something goes wrong.”
“And her opponent? Lin Qi from the Xia Kingdom—the reigning Global Freshman Competition champion.”
“He’s steamrolled every opponent so far, especially dominating Round One as Points Champion, even outclassing Sss-Ranks like Tracy, Chu Yu, and Du Shanyan!”
“This clash will be like Mars colliding with Earth—unmissable!”
White Eagle Federation supporters exuded confidence.
“Tracy’s destined to become a Nine Realms martial artist in our federation. She won’t lose.”
“A mere SS-Rank like Lin Qi dares challenge Tracy? Surrender now!”
Xia Kingdom’s fans fired back.
“Sss-Rank? If she’s so strong, why only third in Round One?”
“Didn’t want to win? Or couldn’t handle it?”

On the stage, Tracy faced Lin Qi, feeling the sharp pressure radiating from him.
Though confident in her strength, she had a rule: never underestimate opponents. Eyes narrowing, she declared, “Lin Qi, you only won the Global Freshman Championship because I didn’t compete.”
Lin Qi didn’t argue. It was true. When he fought as a Fourth Realm martialist last year, Tracy likely stood at Fifth Realm peak, her Martial Spirit Techniques already advanced to Fourth Circle. Worse, he hadn’t Awakened his Innate Talent then.
He simply replied, “So what?”
“You want to prove I’m not your equal?”
Lifting her blade, Tracy smirked. “Exactly. Let me show you the gap between us.”
【Countdown: 3…2…1】
【Round Five Match Five – Begin!】
The arena’s AI voice boomed as both fighters erupted.
Golden Radiance blazed from their bodies, the air shimmering with golden blades.
Tracy’s aura flowed like a dancer’s silk, condensing into a radiant sword. She lunged forward, a golden blur tearing across the stage, her blade slicing the sky.
“Too fast!” Lin Qi marveled. Tracy’s speed as an Sss-Rank Genius was unmatched—Havel himself couldn’t rival her. Her Golden Radiance ability amplified her natural speed, paired with her Golden Rainbow Sword Art’s ethereal lightness.
Lin Qi’s eyes flared Golden Radiance, his pupils swirling with golden runes. His Special Ability—Golden Edge—activated, slowing time. Every motion, every golden trail Tracy left, became clear. Her sword arcs, her weaknesses—all exposed.
Tracy’s blade sliced through his retaliatory golden spears, but the impact jarred her rhythm. Seizing the opening, Lin Qi surged forward, his black spear vibrating with concentrated Golden Edge Power. River-and-Mountain Spear Techniques erupted—a mountainous thrust aimed at her.
Tracy parried, their weapons clashing. Sparks flew, but Lin Qi’s vision pierced deeper: her energy flow slowed at her left side, her sword’s swing hesitated when her right hand rotated… Her Golden Radiance itself fractured under his golden blades, slicing through her aura like a scalpel.
The crowd watched Tracy’s golden glow flicker, her arms numbing from each strike. Tracy’s confidence wavered—for the first time, she felt powerless.
