Chapter 173: One Slash Explodes_3
Even though the tournament has ended, the number of people in the livestream room is increasing instead of decreasing.
Today is destined to be a sleepless night for many who can't fall asleep, and no matter if others manage to sleep, Meng Xiaotian certainly won't be able to tonight.
"How can this be possible?" Meng Xiaotian stood on the stand, looking at the now empty arena with a complex expression, still unable to accept everything that happened today.
He wrote the script "The Demon Spirit Capital That Makes Magic Armor Master Cry - City of Light", yet he never imagined that all this would become reality.
The fall of the Magic Armor Masters and the meteoric rise of demon spirits all came so suddenly, so unreal.
Almost overnight, the City of Light Demon Spirit Tournament, the Love God Shooter's dreamy shot, Jedi Knight's single strike that vanquished Anger Celestial Venerable, Masked Emperor's lightning-fast win, all went viral on the internet.
"Are you kidding me? Are demon spirits this strong?"
"Was that golden motorcycle really a demon spirit? That's just too cool!"
"Unbelievable, demon spirits can even slash through an S-Class Magic Armor with one stroke which is being controlled by one of the top hundred Magic Armor Masters; is this the true power of demon spirits?"
"The Trial Taker can actually control such a powerful demon spirit, this is in no way inferior to a Magic Armor Master, it's even more powerful. Does this mean that our previous understanding of Trial Takers was all wrong?"
"The demon spirit that launched the opening arrow was like a spirit bathed in Holy Light, so beautiful and stunning."
"Oh my god, please tell me all this is fake."
"My worldview has completely collapsed; an S-Class Magic Armor Master is so utterly defeated by demon spirits, does it mean that Trial Takers are the real saviors of humanity?"
"I don't have the talent to be a Magic Armor Master but I have a chance to become a Trial Taker. Does this mean that someday I can obtain such demon spirits?"
"Times... have changed..."
Overnight, people's understanding of Trial Takers and demon spirits was completely overturned, almost everyone is inquiring about Trial Takers and demon spirits.
Magic Armor Masters need talent, but Trial Takers do not; if they dare to risk their lives, they might possess those incredibly powerful demon spirits, even capable of easily slashing through Magic Armor Masters who previously seemed unreachable.
This provided the ordinary folks who had long been repressed with an outlet for their emotions, releasing all enthusiasm. Suddenly, topics related to demon spirits, Trial Takers, the demon spirit contest, the City of Light, and the Lord of Light City reached zenith popularity.
The top ten trends on the internet were mostly linked to the demon spirit tournament and the City of Light.
The Love God Shooter, Jedi Knight, and Masked Emperor firmly occupied the top three trending topics.
Originally, the demon spirit tournament wasn't expected to be so explosive, but with Meng Xiaotian's fanfare and the arrival of Jia Bo, the demon spirit tournament was completely pushed to the forefront, sweeping across the internet with unstoppable momentum.
Magic Armor Masters are unreachable, without talent one absolutely cannot become one, but Trial Takers don't face so many restrictions.
Who doesn't have a hero dream in their heart? The talent requirement for Magic Armor Masters shattered countless passionate youths' hero dreams.
Yet, just one opening ceremony of the demon spirit tournament and a single match reignited those extinguished dreams.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun never imagined the demon spirit tournament would become popular overnight; tickets that couldn't be sold before were cleared within a few hours.
Not only for tomorrow's official first round but tickets for the coming days were all booked as well.
Li Xiu and Chu Jun were speechless, tears streaming down their faces; if they had known this, they should have set the ticket prices even higher.
Sha Chu looked at the sold-out notice, feeling speechless for a moment.
"Tickets are sold, what are your plans for the upcoming matches?" Sha Chu looked at the two crying with excitement and asked in a deep voice.
"What do you mean 'what to do'? Of course, we'll continue as planned, we're already making tons of money just from ticket sales; if we hold a demon spirit tournament every month, we can lie down while counting money." Chu Jun said excitedly.
"Jia Bo may not be a truly powerful Magic Armor Master, but being defeated like that in the demon spirit tournament is akin to slapping the faces of the entire Magic Armor Master industry; do you think those who hold themselves in high regard will tolerate the continuation of the demon spirit tournament?" Sha Chu calmly analyzed.
"Let them come, let's see whose Magic Armor is harder, or whose Jedi Knight's sword is sharper." Chu Jun said with a pout.
"Jedi Knight could slash through Anger Celestial Venerable, indeed very strong, but Jia Bo is hardly top-tier, and if the S-Class Magic Armor Masters aren't just one or two, but ten or more, how many could Jedi Knight defeat?" Sha Chu sighed.
To Sha Chu, Chu Jun's ideas seemed too naive; with Anger Celestial Venerable being slashed publicly, this provoked the whole Magic Armor Master industry, and almost all of them wouldn't want the demon spirit tournament to continue as it's seriously impacting their status and reputation.
Chu Jun finally realized the seriousness of the situation and instinctively looked towards Li Xiu.
Li Xiu chuckled and said, "If they want to come, let them come; not just a few Magic Armor Masters, even if the king himself shows up, he can't stop the demon spirit tournament from proceeding normally."
Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu speechlessly; she really didn't know where Li Xiu got the courage to say such a thing.
Right now, they're essentially going against the world's Magic Armor Masters; no matter how strong Li Xiu is, can he single-handedly fight against all the Magic Armor Masters worldwide?
Speaking more seriously, factions like Space City and White Night City which grew with Magic Armors can't possibly allow the demon spirit tournament to continue like this.
By then, they won't just be facing an individual S-Class Magic Armor Master, it's likely to be an army of Magic Armor Masters.
Given the circumstances, Sha Chu knew that saying anything more wouldn't help; even if they stopped the demon spirit tournament now, those Magic Armor Masters would still hold grudges and sooner or later come for trouble.
"I hope my predictions are all wrong." Sha Chu said with a bitter smile.
"Go prepare for tomorrow's match." Li Xiu wasn't concerned about Sha Chu's worries; so what if an army of Magic Armor Masters came?
As long as he's here, however many Magic Armor Masters come doesn't matter; within the realm of Magic Armor Masters, he's like the living God.
