The originally orderly round of applause gradually turned into chaos, until the noise completely faded into nothing.
The audience members that had been applauding for Sun Xiang had already stopped in embarrassment. And those who were feeling sorry for Han Wenqing suddenly flew from hell to heaven and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Even the host was secretly celebrating after a moment of shock. He had almost announced the incorrect result. He had thought that Han Wenqing had certainly died and was just about to congratulate Sun Xiang on his victory.
The dead silence continued for a few seconds, until the audience finally regained their composure and erupted in applause. The broadcast used this moment of shock to quickly show the camera shot of that final instant. Every screen switched to the frame of that cut and repeatedly transmitted it.
Only then was the audience able to understand.
The moment the black dragon roared forward from One Autumn Leaf's Rising Dragon Soars Through the Sky, the still in mid-air Desert Dust repeatedly stamped down.
Those who were familiar with Glory recognized that he was using Eagle Stamp.
Eagle Stamp didn't consist of only a single stamp. As the skill level increased, the number of stamps could reach five. Desert Dust had clearly leveled the skill to this point. When his stamp collided with Sky Strike, even though his character was hit away, Eagle Stamp's skill hadn't been interrupted. The next four stamps allowed Desert Dust to drop down diagonally.
By relying on this diagonal drop, Desert Dust was able to dodge the black dragon's roar. After landing on the ground, he immediately used a Dashing Jab. At this moment, One Autumn Leaf's Rising Dragon Soars Through the Sky hadn't completely finished yet, so how he could dodge this attack? With only a sliver of health remaining, he fell under this Level 10 skill.
This short instant played repeatedly. The broadcast hurried with their work and cut out all of the exchanges after the red blood and then showed them on the screen from different points of view. The replay at normal speed looked like it was playing at high-speed and the slow-motion replay looked like the proper speed.
The applause continued to resound.
Han Wenqing stood up from his platform. In the same manner that he had appeared on stage, he walked down to the center.
As for Sun Xiang? He couldn't believe what had happened. He couldn't believe that he'd lost on that final strike.
As a pro player, losing was a very common occurrence. It was just that he had been so confident in this match. He had already said that he would end the grudge between Excellent Era and Tyranny. But he was the one who had actually lost. It truly made him feel ashamed.
Sun Xiang really wished that he could hide behind the platform and wait until the All-Star Weekend's first day ended before slipping out. But he knew that this wasn't possible. Hiding wasn't an option. The longer he hid, the more embarrassed he'd be.
Sun Xiang sucked in a deep breath and finally stood up. He had to face what was to come.
He walked down from his platform and saw that Han Wenqing was already standing at the center of the stage. Han Wenqing didn't say anything and didn't leave. He just stood there.
Sun Xiang's eyes twitched.
Han Wenqing was waiting for him and certainly wanted to say something. Unfortunately, he definitely wasn't a friendly senior.
He finally walked to the center of the stage and saw that Han Wenqing's cold glare was fixated on him.
Sun Xiang walked in front of him and was still able to force a smile.
