In the third round, the number of contestants was significantly reduced.
Soon, it was Fade's turn.
The opponent he got this time was an effeminate man of about 30 years old.
The man had white hair, long and narrow eyes, and a slender figure. He didn't look like a man at all but a woman.
As he came on the stage, the audience couldn't help but talk about him.
"Who is this guy? He looks like both a woman and man. Is he genderless?"
"It looks like a gust of wind can blow him away, yet he still wants to participate in the preliminaries. Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death?"
"bundle is so lucky. He can enter the next round."
A group of people laughed unscrupulously. However, at this time, one person's eyes sank and he warned in a cold voice, "If you don't want to die, shut up."
"What do you mean?"
"We are just talking. Does that guy want to attack the audience?"
The one who spoke snorted, "You guys are talking about him. Do you know who he is?"
"Who is he?"
"He can't be some second generation martial artist, is he? That's not interesting either. The strong ones have long since been selected into the participating teams. There’s no need for them to participate in the prelims!"
The person who spoke said coldly, "His name is Ruwind. He's a disciple of Vincci Mok of Heroine Academy.”
Hearing the name "Ruwind", coupled with the headmaster of Heroine Academy, many people's expressions suddenly changed, and they were surprised.
"Could he be the talented man, Ruwind, who was rescued by Madam Mok from the depths of the forest?"
"I heard that Ruwind was weak and almost on the verge of death when he was rescued. Later, Madam Mok healed him. By accident, she found that Ruwind was talented in her cultivation method, the Surging Storm Skill."
"Therefore, Madam Mok brought Ruwind back to the academy and carefully trained him. She even wanted to enrol him in the academy. However, he could not enter because Heroine Academy only accepts female students. His talent for other techniques is also relatively ordinary. It's a waste of talent for him to enter other martial arts academies."
"Thus, in the end, Madam Mok took Ruwind by her side and personally taught him the Surging Storm Skill. In just a few years, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, rising to the realm of a Level 5 warrior. There are even rumors that he can enter Level 6 within a year or two."
"However, because Ruwind was injured, his fighting ability was affected. Therefore, he was not selected to be part of the representative team for the International Martial Artists Conference." "He did not sign up to participate in the prelims this time around. However, he suddenly joined the registration the day before the start of the competition."
The expressions of those who did not know changed drastically after listening to Ruwind's story.
The people who had mocked him earlier immediately stopped laughing. All of them hastily shrunk their necks and hid behind others, worried that Ruwind would discover them.
The rest started to talk about the upcoming competition.
"I didn't expect Ruwind to enter. I'm afraid that bundle will lose this time."
"Lose? That is probably the best outcome!"
"What do you mean?"
"Haven't you read the latest news? Lundie is suspected of killing Jackopa and Zamaica. Meylina and Sanjay are anxious to tear him to pieces. However, Saxen of the Martial Arts Committee has been protecting Lundie. Both parties have been fighting for a long time. Because of this, Ruwind suddenly signed up to participate in the preliminaries."
As the name implied, this cultivation method used positive energy to mimic the wind and clouds, integrating the soft and agile wind into the body's movement. It was erratic and flexible. While pulling, it would attack the enemy bit by bit. Finally, when the enemy was exhausted, it would kill the enemy.
Ruwind, as expected, was very talented in this technique.
After the energy gushed out, it wrapped around his body, making him seem like he was integrated with the wind and clouds, gently floating, alive and agile.
If he closed his eyes and felt Ruwind's position, he would not sense a person. Instead, he would only feel drifting clouds and a slight breeze.
Just like the previous two rounds, after the competition began, Fade aimed his palm at Ruwind.
"What a cheap trick!"
Ruwind let out a cold laugh. His body floated and dodged Fade's attack easily.
Then, he flicked out a silk-like aura from his fingertip that slowly wrapped around Fade's body.
Fade failed to hit Ruwind. He immediately changed direction and attacked him again.
However, Ruwind still easily avoided Fade's attack and let him hit the air again.
For a moment, the arena became a boring scene where Fade constantly attacked, and Ruwind dodged.
The two of them fought back and forth. They had already exchanged close to a hundred moves.
However, to everyone's surprise, Fade didn't even hit Ruwind with these moves. Instead, Ruwind easily evaded him using the Surging Storm Skill.
This battle outcome was something which many spectators had never imagined.
