Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Draw

Under the cover of the black mist, Xue Wei silently approached the edge of the barrier.

He carefully observed his surroundings, ensuring no one noticed his actions.

Then, he placed the jade talisman on the surface of the barrier, muttering the spell silently. The runes on the jade talisman immediately lit up, and a powerful force surged out from the talisman, quietly eroding the barrier’s energy.

Fine cracks began to appear on the barrier’s surface, but due to the cover of the black mist, these cracks didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

Xue Wei continued injecting spiritual power, controlling the black mist with his palm to continually increase its strength, causing the cracks in the barrier to gradually expand, until with a faint "snap" sound, a corner of the barrier was quietly torn open.

Xue Wei let out a cold laugh.

He quickly retrieved the jade talisman, and the black mist gradually dispersed, as if nothing had ever happened.

All actions were extremely covert, not arousing any suspicion from anyone.

The audience on the platform were still enthusiastically discussing Xue Zhao and Xue Wei’s performances, completely oblivious to Xue Wei’s deceitful acts.

Xiao Xiao and Qin Chuan were also tensely watching Xue Zhao, completely unaware of Xue Wei’s plot.

Only Ye Qingchen stared intently at the mass of black mist.

That mass of black mist seemed ordinary, but the energy fluctuation within made Ye Qingchen feel very abnormal.

The family head and elders, while puzzled by the sudden black mist from Xue Wei, did not detect his cheating methods in secret.

The atmosphere in the Beast Fighting Arena reached a suffocating tension.

The audience on the platform held their breath, their eyes tightly fixed on the two in the arena.

Xue Zhao quickly found a flaw in the barrier and unleashed her strongest attack, attempting to break through.

On the other side, Xue Wei silently used the power of the black jade talisman, secretly breaking the energy structure of the barrier.

As the two were almost ready to break through at the same time, the atmosphere inside the Beast Fighting Arena became more tense.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, Xue Zhao and Xue Wei broke through the barrier almost simultaneously.

Xue Zhao’s sword radiance flickered, like a brilliant meteor, swiftly carrying her through the opening in the barrier.

While Xue Wei, enveloped in black mist, tore through the barrier’s shield like a fierce beast, charging out with endless killing intent.

The two almost simultaneously stepped out of the arena’s edge, standing before the audience on the platform.

The scene instantly quieted, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The audience stared wide-eyed at the two, unable to believe they had broken through the barrier simultaneously.

"How... how is this possible?" an audience member said in shock.

"The strength of the two is actually on par!" another audience member said in disbelief.

Xiao Xiao nervously clenched her fists, her gaze fixed on Xue Zhao, feeling both excited and worried.

Qin Chuan stood beside her, full of surprise and confusion.

What’s going on?

How did Xue Wei manage to come out like this?

The family head and the elders on the platform were similarly shocked by this scene.

The family head furrowed his brows, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.

"It’s unexpected that the two of them could break through the barrier simultaneously; the result of this competition is truly unpredictable," an elder said softly, tone tinged with a sense of wonder.

"Indeed, it seems Xue Wei is not entirely without capability, showing impressive strength today," another elder nodded and said.

The family head took a deep breath, slowly walking towards the center of the Beast Fighting Arena.

His authoritative gaze swept across the crowd, then he stood steadily and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, quiet down."

The audience on the platform immediately quieted, all eyes focused on the family head.

The family head’s authority made people involuntarily hold their breath, awaiting his announcement.

"Just now, we all witnessed an extremely exciting competition. Xue Zhao and Xue Wei showed admirable strength and tenacity by breaking through the barrier simultaneously, proving their abilities and adaptability."

As the family head’s words fell, the audience again whispered among themselves, discussing the two’s performances.

"Xue Zhao and Xue Wei are indeed impressive, both able to break through the barrier simultaneously."

"Yes, with their strength seemingly equal, this competition truly is thrilling."

The family head raised his hand, signaling for silence, then continued: "Since the two of you managed to break through the barrier simultaneously, this match is considered a tie."

The crowd burst into chatter, discussing the family head’s decision.

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling proud of Xue Zhao: "Big sister Xue Zhao is really amazing, but why do I still feel something’s off?"

Qin Chuan also nodded and said: "Yeah, I feel something’s off too, but I can’t quite put my finger on it."

Ye Qingchen slowly said: "Maybe it’s that mass of black mist, but for Xue Wei to dare do something so brazen, it means he’s already prepared. It’s better to talk to Xue Zhao privately about this."

Xue Zhao and Xue Wei stood on the sidelines, their expressions varied.

Xue Zhao remained calm.

While Xue Wei, internally smirked coldly, although not winning outright, he still had an opportunity.

Tomorrow’s match, he must win!

The family head looked at the two in the arena, nodded slightly, then turned to face the audience on the platform.

His voice was authoritative and powerful: "Today’s match ends here. Everyone, please go back to rest, gather your strength, and prepare for tomorrow’s match."

His voice echoed throughout the Beast Fighting Arena, but the audience did not immediately leave.

Many still stood in place, faces full of lingering desire and reluctance.

They whispered among themselves, eagerly discussing everything that had just happened.

"I really didn’t expect they could both break the barrier simultaneously, this match was so exciting!" a young man said excitedly, his eyes shining with admiration.

"Yes, I initially thought Xue Zhao would have the edge, but Xue Wei is also so impressive!" a friend beside him agreed, full of surprise and admiration.

"Xue Family’s competitions never disappoint, every match is so remarkable."

An older spectator sighed, slowly getting up, though stiff, his eyes still revealed anticipation for the upcoming matches.

Though the family head announced the end of the match, many spectators were reluctant to leave, continuing to stroll within the Beast Fighting Arena.

Trying to catch more glimpses of the situation within the arena. Some gathered, excitedly discussing the matches to come.

"What will tomorrow’s match be? I’ve heard the final match will be even tougher."

"Yes, I hope both Xue Zhao and Xue Wei will perform better."

"I still think Xue Wei will win, his performance today was outstanding."

"Haha, you don’t know yet, right? Tomorrow’s match might not be as exciting as today, because they won’t be fighting directly."

"Huh? We still don’t know what we’re competing on tomorrow?"
