Dannon heard what Fade said and looked at him, who was still on the stage. He glared at him coldly.

At that moment, Earlias, who was agitated and angry, finally came back to his senses. He looked very gloomy as he glanced at Fade walking off the stage. His eyes were so sullen that they looked as if tears were coming out.

He then turned around and looked up at Dannon. However, he lowered his head after a glance. He didn't dare to look into his eyes and he said in a low voice, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I..." Dannon suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?"

Earlias took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He said, "Uncle, Fade's strength is really beyond my expectation. My Nine- cloud Thunder Skill didn't hurt him at all. I was a little surprised at that time."

"However, this isn't the real reason why I was defeated. At that time, when I noticed that the Nine-cloud Thunder Skill was ineffective, I was about to continue to attack, but at that moment, I suddenly felt stunned and lost my focus. At that moment, Fade found my weakness and defeated me.

"Lost your focus?" Dannon looked at him in disbelief. "You're a middle-stage Heaven Level martial artist. How could you be so absentminded under such circumstances?" He asked.

Upon seeing this, Earlias quickly explained, "Uncle, I really didn't lie. I don't know why but I felt as if someone had hit me in the head before I was stunned."

"Your head was hit. This..." Dannon was momentarily silent. He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look in Fade's direction.

At that moment, with the end of the semifinals, the results of the two contestants who had progressed to the finals had already been released. They were Tiger and Fade.

This also meant that the final two positions had already been determined.

This result was beyond many people's expectations. In particular, Fade had defeated Earlias and entered the finals. This was something that not many of the audience members had expected. Besides that, many gamblers wailed and howled.

Earlias' defeat had caused many people to lose everything. They cried all over the place. Of course, there was also a small group of gamblers who were extremely excited as they couldn't hide the smile on their faces.

After half an hour's rest, it was time for the finals. It was a battle between Fade and Tiger.

When compared to the enthusiasm of the previous semi-finals, the cheers in the finals had significantly decreased.

In reality, this was something within their expectation as well. After all, the most important reward for the competition, which was the two spots for the selection, had already been decided. The final competition wouldn't affect the candidate spots.

On the other hand, Tiger and Fade didn't have any personal grievances or grudges. Therefore, there wasn't as much gossip either.

Of course, there was another unspoken reason which shouldn't be mentioned.

Both of them had qualified and they would participate in the International Youth Martial Arts Convention, representing their country. The contest would be held a few months later. If both of them were really engaged in a fierce fight and were seriously injured, the only damage would be to the country's reputation.

Therefore, before the competition, Tiger and Fade had heard the implicit hint from the elders. To just slightly engage in the finals and not to exert too much force.

It was precisely this reason why when the two people stood in the ring, the atmosphere seemed to be relatively relaxed. It was without any previous tension. Tiger looked at Fade and said in a low voice, "Fade, the elders in the army said that I was no match for you. They asked me to immediately surrender." "However, I still want to see your strength. On the other hand, I'm worried that both of us will get injured, so..." Tiger eagerly looked at him with worry in his eyes. Upon seeing this, Fade paused for a moment and said with a faint smile, "Actually, Mr. Zhao, you don't have to worry. You can just attack me."

As soon as he heard this, Tiger raised his eyebrows and looked at Fade with slight dissatisfaction.

After all, Fade's words were slightly arrogant. The reason why he let Tiger attack him was because he wasn't worried that Tiger would hurt him, or that both sides would suffer. Tiger wasn't satisfied. He stepped forward and shouted. Hethen launched an attack on Fade. "I'm coming," he warned.

Accompanied by the sound of the wind, Tiger's fist arrived with a rumble.

The fist's momentum was fierce. However, when carefully observed, one could tell that this fist only contained physical strength and that he wasn't using positive energy.

Fade knew that this was Tiger's deliberate restraint order to avoid any destruction.

Therefore, Fade didn't mobilize the aura of his positive energy either. Instead, he threw a punch to meet Tiger's fist.

All of a sudden, their fists came in contact and there was a loud noise of collision.

Both of them exchanged dozens of movements in an instant. The movements were quick and flexible; it was a very enthusiastic fight. The movements were very exquisite. Many warriors' eyes were shining. They carefully watched them and began to learn.

However, for an ordinary spectator, this match seemed too mundane and boring.

After all, in the previous matches, positive energy was flying everywhere. There was light shining and their strength in the arena was whistling. All of the previous battles were brilliant and colorful in addition to being lively.

However, there were no such things in the finals. It was just a simple hand-to-hand fight between both of them. This made it slightly boring for the ordinary audience.

In the arena, after dozens of moves, Tiger and Fade stopped. Tiger clasped his hands and said, "I lost."

Fade retracted his hands and put them behind his back. He nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you."

Tiger immediately took the initiative to jump off the ring. The referee then announced the end of the match. In the end, Fade won the championship while Tiger got the runner-up. Both of them won a spot each. However, the sudden ending confused the audience. They were completely at a loss.

They didn't understand why both men, who were fighting each other, suddenly stopped. Tiger then hastily announced that he admitted defeat.

All of a sudden, all sorts of conspiracy theories came out, one after another, at the scene and on the Internet.

"This must've been a deliberate arrangement to let Fade win the championship," the crowd said.

"Now I can clearly see it. It's totally fake. It was purposely arranged by the banker so that we would lose all our bets," one of them said.

"I previously heard that prior to this competition, Fade got the official placement from the higher-ups and could directly get a spot in the army. However, he refused and came to participate in the competition," another commented.

"I also heard that the promoter was a high-level member from the army while Tiger happened to be from the army as well. Perhaps he received the order from his superior to admit defeat," a third explained. "It's possible. I think that's the case," someone else mentioned.

"It's really boring. I wanted a good match for the finals. However, it ended like this. I'm so disappointed," another spoke.
