Lord of the Sky City

Rocky and Xia Nai’s successive exchanges had the audience dumbstruck. It wasn’t just because their fighting was too fast, but also because their combat was simply too exhilarating!

In the eyes of the majority of the audience, the duel between the two could only be described as a blur, as no one could clearly see their movements; they could only witness the lightning-fast collisions on the stage. Even so, it was enough to satisfy most of the audience.

However, for a minority of the viewers, the battle between the two was not just a blur—it was absolutely thrilling!

This small group of viewers, who could keep up with their pace and see every move, were even more astonished. Before this, no one had expected the match to be this spectacular!

Although the Arena had been building up to this match for a whole month, attracting many eyes, it’s undeniable that most people were drawn in by the spectacle of the event.

The Sky City Lord, the son of the Kafka Empire Marquis, two nobles appearing in the ring at the same time, a grudge match—these gimmicks certainly drew the majority of attention, such that not many truly believed the match would be this beautiful.

To everyone’s surprise, Xia Nai was incredibly powerful. Everyone had thought his string of victories was solely due to the suppression by his Armor, but they never imagined that when facing an opponent also wearing top-tier Armor, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Similarly, no one could have imagined that Rocky would showcase the true power of his Armor in this match, which also belonged to the top ranks.

It was precisely because of so many unexpected factors that when they started their real fight, everyone was stupefied. Everyone was amazed that a match filled with gimmicks could have such high quality!

Let alone others, even Monte and his companions were left agape after seeing such fierce exchanges. During the past month, Rocky had been training them, so they thought they fully understood Rocky’s strength. However, once they saw the fight between Rocky and Xia Nai, they realized they had been utterly wrong.

Rocky had not been using his full strength when training them!

Apart from Monte and his companions, there were others who were shocked by the match—these were not ordinary spectators, but the big-wigs in the VIP rooms!

Due to the Holy Angel Armor, many important figures had gathered in Eternal City. These people had been commuting to and fro from the Arena recently because Denise had been competing during this time. Naturally, those who came for the Holy Angel Armor wouldn’t miss her matches.

In theory, although these individuals frequented the Arena, their focus was always on the Holy Angel Armor. No matter how much hype the Arena had created, it wasn’t possible for these people to watch Rocky’s match—how could such petty tricks deceive or attract them?

But the reality was different. Rocky’s match not only drew a large number of ordinary viewers but also a significant number of big-wigs.

Why was that?

Why did these important figures suddenly appear in the VIP boxes of this match? The answer is simple: when the Arena was preparing for this match, Aniye and others were also busy!

As previously mentioned, the focus of the battle between Rocky and Xia Nai was not on Xia Nai, but on using the battle as a precursor to introduce ‘new technology,’ thereby catching the Sky Alliance’s attention. This was Rocky’s true purpose.

To achieve this, during this month, the four masters: Aniye, Orton, Hammerfire, and Pelaya were busy too. On one hand, they were continuously improving the White Demon Armor, on the other hand, they utilized their networks to ‘seemingly’ inadvertently spread some rumors that they were developing new Armor Technology.

Although among the four, only Aniye and Pelaya were well-liked, Orton and Hammerfire not so much, it’s undeniable that each of the four were renowned scholars, with standing in the academic community that wouldn’t falter due to their personality or temperament. Once the news that the four were jointly developing new-generation Armor Technology spread, it immediately caught the attention of many.

Aniye, Orton, Hammerfire, and Pelaya, each of these masters could lead a project on their own. Now, these four had united?

What exactly were they up to?

This question inevitably prompted deep thought and curiosity. Thus, when Aniye sent out invitations in his name, inviting acquaintances to watch Rocky’s match, the invited big-wigs immediately agreed. Just like the first performance of the Holy Angel, they all arrived at the Arena.

Under such wide focus, Rocky’s performance in the match indeed dazzled everyone. No, to be more precise, it should be said that the performance of the White Demon Armor made everyone take notice!
