Perhaps it was really just a coincidence, but Angel himself didn’t believe that.
“The potential seed on platform 18 is from a well-known Wizard family in Yirong Country. Although the outcome is predictable, definitely a crushing victory, in the current matches of the first level, his fight is the one worth watching,” Glenn said, seeing Angel not replying, and still kept explaining nonstop.
That was similar to how it was when Angel first met Glenn. Despite Glenn’s adolescent look, the science communicator in him was burning bright. In fact, Glenn had provided him with the details about the rules of the New Star Competition.
Lyon didn’t know who Glenn was, but seeing how familiar he acted and considering his youthful face, Lyon wasn’t too guarded. He even whispered to Angel, “Shall we take his advice and go take a look?”
Angel glanced at the match on platform 18: ‘Caged Bird VS Vain Thought’, with 578 people already planning to watch.
Eventually, he nodded, took out their two viewer tickets, and wrote the number 18 on them.
As they finished writing, the number of viewers jumped directly to 581. Besides him and Lyon, Glenn had also marked number 18 on his own ticket.
“Since we’re all going to see number 18, why don’t we go together?” Glenn suggested with a smile, his words seemingly carrying a hint of anticipation.
Angel didn’t respond but took out his ticket and marked number 7 on it, the match labeled ‘Scorpion VS Sword of Conviction.’
The fight on platform 18 was an hour later, while platform 7 was set to start in ten minutes. Angel estimated that after watching the match on platform 7, they should still have time to go to platform 18.
Angel’s action wasn’t meant to target Glenn; he was genuinely curious about the match on platform 7.
As for Glenn, whether his approach was intentional or not, it made no difference to Angel.
Lyon didn’t object to Angel’s decision either, as he wasn’t too familiar with the matches in the Sky Tower. When he saw that the match on platform 7 was about to begin, his eyes sparkled with intense curiosity. He was eager to know what a fight between other Transcendents was like.
Half an hour later, in the spectator area of platform 7, Lyon was frowning deeply.
His curiosity about this match had completely vanished over time.
Angel understood why nobody wanted to watch; it was simply… too boring.
The Apprentice known as ‘Scorpion’ started off quite spectacularly, her fiery red skirt lifted to reveal nine blackish-red scorpion tails writhing menacingly.
“That’s the Bloodline of the Red Poison Scorpion!” Angel’s eyes lit up at that moment. He hadn’t expected to encounter an Apprentice infused with a Bloodline on the first level. Just the integration of a Bloodline meant her strength should be above level five, which was probably why the Sky Tower officials placed her on such a prominent platform.
Angel shared some of the Red Poison Scorpion Bloodline’s strengths and weaknesses with Lyon.
At first, Lyon was also excited, but as the match went on, both Angel and Lyon fell silent.
Logically, the Red Poison Scorpion was an offensive Bloodline, and it brought difficult-to-counteract poison damage to boot. But the Apprentice treated it like a defensive Bloodline, encasing herself completely with the nine tails. No matter how the ‘Sword of Conviction’ hacked and slashed, it couldn’t break through this defense.
It wasn’t that the Red Poison Scorpion’s defense was that remarkable; it was simply that the contenders on the first level were too weak.
“A perfectly good fight turned into an endurance battle. No wonder no one watched it,” Angel felt a headache coming on, concerned not only that Lyon wouldn’t learn anything from this match but just hoping he wouldn’t be led astray by it.
But on second thought, it made sense. The first level was, after all, a battleground for the lowest-tier players. To truly provide insight for Lyon, they’d have to watch higher-level matches.
Fortunately, he had only purchased tickets for two matches.
After this one ended, they would watch the match on platform 18, and it would be better to go to a higher level for the next one.
