After Quentin spoke, he stepped into the Sea of Fire.
Seeing Quentin about to chase him, Beckett quickened his pace. The finish line was less than ten meters away.
He just needed to endure the pain and run a few more seconds, and he would still be the first to conquer the Mountain of Blades and the Sea of Fire!
“This Webb is too careless! He had the first place in the bag, but now it might go back to Beckett!”
“Yeah! With such a distance between them, no matter how fast he runs, he can’t catch up!” The audience lamented, feeling sorry for Quentin losing first place.
“Quentin, go for it! Charge!”
The people of White Miao Village were worried but still hopeful, believing Quentin could perform another miracle.
Quentin’s inner strength burst forth, activating his potential. Ignoring the burning Sea of Fire, he sped forward like the wind, moving so fast that his figure became a blur.
With one step, he covered half the Sea of Fire in an instant. His speed stirred up a wave of wind, making the flames behind him burn even more fiercely. The force was so great that the charcoal beneath his feet was crushed to powder and dimmed.
Before anyone could react in astonishment, he took another step.
Beckett, who was less than three meters from the finish line, was ecstatic. He was going to win! He could finally trample Quentin like an ant!
In his moment of joy, a figure whizzed past Beckett. He couldn’t see who it was, but his intuition filled him with dread.
Beckett didn’t have time to think. He finally crossed the finish line but collided with a figure and fell to the ground. Looking up, his eyes widened in shock.
The figure was Quentin, standing there calmly and immovable like a mountain.
“You! How is this possible? You clearly…” Beckett stammered in disbelief, his chest heaving.
Soon, Khan, who was lagging behind, also reached the finish line, hands on his knees, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
“Nothing is impossible. You can only blame yourself for being too weak,” Quentin sneered.
Beckett was almost spitting blood in anger.
Quentin had won again, showcasing his extraordinary skills and astonishing everyone! Beckett had lost completely this time.
“The first place in the second event of Mountain of Blades and Sea of Fire goes to Webb from White Miao Village! Second place to Beckett from Black Miao Village! Third place to Khan from Red Miao Village!…”
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause. Black Miao Village had been defeated twice by a newcomer, and everyone admired Quentin deeply and sincerely.
Quentin had surpassed Beckett in just two steps across the Sea of Fire. To the people of Miao Territory, Quentin was as mysterious and powerful as a deity.
Even the people at Chieftain Base Camp couldn’t help but applaud enthusiastically, all smiling with joy. Only Wesley looked furious.
“Chieftain, winning and losing is common. Don’t be too upset. But Master Beckett…”
Patriarch Rodney tried to offer some comfort but was interrupted by Wesley: “Enough! Don’t celebrate too soon! The real show is yet to come!”
Rodney dared not speak further, inwardly disdainful: “Hmph, what’s so great about it? Can’t take a loss?”
In Black Miao Village, the atmosphere was extremely tense. No one dared to speak. Black Miao healers were treating Beckett’s foot injuries while two Black Miao women massaged his back and bones.
Beckett’s eyes were wide with anger, seemingly on the verge of an outburst. The Black Miao people looked at him fearfully, afraid he would vent his anger on them.
At that moment, the elder responsible for conveying Wesley’s messages arrived again.
“Speak quickly!” Beckett snarled.
“The Chieftain says, in combat, kill!” The Black Miao elder said sternly.
“I don’t need him to tell me what to do!” Beckett’s eyes gleamed with cold light as killing intent surged within him.
After the elder left, Beckett grabbed the heads of the two Black Miao women massaging him and pressed them down forcefully.
His face turned furious, eyes bloodshot. “I’m very angry right now!”
In this final combat match, he vowed to tear Quentin apart!
This Quentin had humiliated him repeatedly in competitions, slapping him in the face each time.
He wouldn’t allow anyone to surpass him, threaten his status, or overshadow him. This time he would eliminate Quentin completely! He was the strongest in Miao Territory!
He sneered coldly: “Webb! I’ll cut you into pieces!”
