Black foam began to leak out through Chen Yan's orifices as his body trembled nonstop on the sand. Elder Shen's Body of Truth gave Arena Official Yu the signal to announce the end of the third round.
His loud shout forced Qing Hua to retract her Mystic Arts and stop the staged breakthrough phenomena. The aura of her cultivation base fell back to the ninth layer of the Physique Transformation realm, as if the massive spikes and instability just now had all been illusory.
This left the thousands of disciples watching the duel full of confusion for a good while.
They'd been mentally preparing themselves to witness someone ascend to the Soul Reformation realm. How come it suddenly stopped halfway?
But noticing Chen Yan's crumpled form in front of Qing Hua, and Arena Official Yu's entry inside the dueling field, everyone quickly realized the truth.
They'd all been tricked! Qing Hua must have been faking it to ambush her opponent!
