were forced to resort to primitive technologies such as X-ray.

Nonetheless, it had proven to be an effective method in preventing similar incidences.

Meanwhile in Ayrlarng, everyone was worried for w.a.n.g Tong, as he was about to face his toughest opponent, the Enchantress Li Ruoer.

Not only did Li Ruoer have the Tactics of the Enchantress at her disposal, but she also had the legendary sword, "Rosy." Although Li Ruoer was not invincible, as many METAL experts had pointed out that Li Ruoer's attacks lacked intensity and endurance, everyone at Ayrlarng agreed that w.a.n.g Tong's victory was only wishful thinking.

Also, Li Ruoer also enjoyed a much wider fan base than w.a.n.g Tong. Apart from Ayrlarng, Bernabeu, and the S-Club, the remaining audiences supported Li Ruoer.

Even the S-Club members knew that the time to challenge the real power of their leader had come.

The Sky arena was packed with audiences who wanted to watch the third match in the final sixteen playoffs, and almost all of them were here to watch Li Ruoer, the de facto "Princess" of all earthlings.

Time could change a lot of things, but so far, the royal-like status of House of Li had not changed.

However, among the supporters of Li Ruoer, a group of audiences sat close to each other and cheered for w.a.n.g Tong. All of them wore a s.h.i.+rt with a big S printed on it. Many of w.a.n.g Tong's supporters were also contestants of the tournament.

Although ninety-nine percent of the audiences were supporters of Li Ruoer, as a previously unknown fighter, w.a.n.g Tong's success in the tournament had been impressive.

Regardless of the outcome, Team Earth would have already earned two of the eight seats in the final eight playoffs.

As a matter of fact, should Li Ruoer win the fight and enter the final eight, she could even tag team with her brother and further increase Team Earth's compet.i.tiveness in the final.

Although it was still too early to discusses the details of strategies in the final playoffs, earthlings would need to use any advantage they had, since no one, not even an Einherjar, could guarantee to prevail in a fight against other powerful fighters.

w.a.n.g Tong sat inside of the resting room, listening to the waves of cheers calmly. Karl stood behind him, and was rubbing his boss's shoulders, trying to relax him.

"Don't you fret, boss. Just think of it as a normal battle. I believe in you as much as I believed in the Blade Warrior!"

"Karl, can you please stop jittering? "Hu Yangxuan asked.

"Buzz off! It's my method of relaxing! We can finally teach those Great Houses some lessons!" Karl announced loudly in a shaky voice.

"Can you two be quiet? The more you talk, the more nervous we feel!" Zhou Sisi complained. Her face was overwrought, and hands were clenched into fists.

w.a.n.g Tong cracked a smile. "It's not as bad as you think."

"Haha, what did I tell you? Only you weaklings would feel nervous, not our boss!" Karl laughed and said. Everyone, except for w.a.n.g Tong were unnerved by w.a.n.g Tong's next opponent, but the person in question seemed to be very relaxed.

Apache stood quietly against the wall and then said slowly. "Don't waste your time worrying about him. He is not even afraid of death."

w.a.n.g Tong simply smiled. Truth be told, he really found it hard to be nervous about this fight.
