(5000 words, asking for monthly pass)_2 Outside the arena, a sea of people bustled.
The top fifty showdown was about to commence.
On this day, twenty-five would be eliminated, and the top twenty-five would be selected.
As time passed, the contestants arrived one after another, with the media swarming forward.
When Xu Mo arrived, he was immediately surrounded by journalists.
“Xu Mo, what do you think about securing the top spot in the rankings, or do you feel ashamed?” one reporter’s words were particularly sharp.
“Why should I feel ashamed for winning on merit?” Xu Mo retorted.
The crowd erupted into a commotion, with loud boos and screams echoing around, and as the Transcendents Tournament progressed, Xu Mo’s supporters grew in numbers.
Xu Mo was still that Xu Mo, flamboyant and arrogant as ever.
Indeed, if it’s won on merit, why feel ashamed?
“If you lose this match, you’ll become the first ‘number one’ in the history of the Transcendents Tournament to be eliminated in the top fifty.
What’s your take on that?” the reporter pressed on, her words sharp as blades.

“Even if I lose, I’m still in the top fifty.
Is that something to be ashamed of, or would you like to try?” Xu Mo retorted, leaving the reporter speechless and at a loss for words.
Afterwards, Xu Mo didn’t bother to continue engaging with her and moved on, as people from the Stark Group cleared a path for him to walk towards the entrance.
The exposure of this interview caused another sensation.
Xu Mo’s words were arrogant, but somehow, they made sense?
That’s Xu Mo for you!
More and more contestants entered, and as time went on, the screen began to show the arena of the Transcendents Tournament.
Fifty figures rose into the air from different directions.
The mechanical voice announced, “The top fifty showdown, individual battles, the first match, Woody from the Black Shield Group versus Ivan from Norton College.”
Woody from the Black Shield Group, currently seated at twenty-five.
Ivan from Norton College, twenty-six.
Xu Mo, who ranked first, would be the last to take the stage.
Woody and Ivan descended onto the battlefield, while the other forty-eight remained in the air, all looking down at the battle below.
Xu Mo also observed the fighting below.
If he could defeat Ice Woman Nalita, his next opponent would be Woody.
The outcome of this battle was unsurprising; Woody was bound to win, being the ten seed player after all.
Xu Mo looked to the battlefield, noticing Woody clad in Heavy Armor and wielding twin axes that radiated a terrifying purple glow, signifying incredible cutting and destructive power.
Furthermore, his Heavy Armor was custom-made, equipped with a powerful propulsor that not only didn’t impede his speed but made him even faster.
In preparation for this Transcendents Tournament, the Black Shield Group had selected a batch of the strongest contestants at this Source Power Level for special training, ultimately choosing Woody, their strongest contender, for the competition.
“Boom…”
Woody stomped on the ground, activating the propulsor within his Heavy Armor, and in an instant, he sprinted across with a fearsome velocity towards his opponent.
Ivan braced himself, watching Woody, who leaped into the air as he neared and slashed down with both axes, a move so forceful it made hearts tremble.
As a ten seed contestant, his reputation was well-earned.
“Bang.” A loud noise rang out as Ivan was sent flying, his footing unstable.
Woody, relentless in his Heavy Armor, continued to charge and wildly streaked his axes through the air, creating a stunning sight.
The fight did not last long, and Woody soon claimed victory.
Ivan was eliminated, and Woody remained in his place among the top twenty-five.
As he ascended, Woody’s gaze turned to Xu Mo.
It was a narrow road for enemies to meet, as the President of the Black Shield Group had said—double the price for defeating a representative of the Stark Group!
And given that Xu Mo was number one, Woody was very hopeful that Xu Mo would win this match.
Only then would he have the chance to face Xu Mo and take the top spot for himself.
Being ranked twenty-five, Woody thought might be a disadvantage, but it turned out to be a stroke of luck that Xu Mo had secured first place.
With that, he was poised to take the top spot for himself.
It didn’t matter whether Xu Mo or Ice Man Nalita won; after the next round, the top spot would be his for the taking.
Xu Mo, of course, noticed Woody’s look, but he had no time to pay attention to it as he needed to face Ice Man Nalita first, and she was no easy opponent.
Battles burst forth one after another, and the audience’s excitement was ignited.
The earlier duels were relatively intense, but as the rankings grew further apart, the battles became more one-sided, stirring even more excitement among the audience, especially as many of the seed players appeared later.
Moreover, none of the seed players ranked in the top ten showed any signs of underperformance, all securing strong wins over their opponents.
Finally, the last round of battles arrived.
It was the round everyone was most looking forward to.
According to pre-match surveys, among the top fifty clashes, the fight between Xu Mo and Ice Man Nalita had the highest anticipation index!
It even surpassed Augustine’s battle.
The result was a combination of support and disdain for Xu Mo, and of course, the spectating crowd who were eager to see how this ‘number one’ would go out.
“Xu Mo faces off against Nalita.”
At the moment the mechanical voice announced it, the venue erupted with a deafening mixture of different sounds once again.
There were cheers for Xu Mo, for Nalita, screams of excitement, as well as boos and even shouts demanding Xu Mo be thrown out of the Transcendents Tournament.
This number one, he did not deserve it.

Xu Mo’s Mecha landed, and across from him, Nalita also touched down, both locking eyes with each other.
