Chapter 694 - THIS ROUND\'S CONCLUSION
THERE was a huge explosion on the rink and a blinding white light filled the whole stadium. Nobody knew what happened. All the audience could see was this blinding light. Almost everyone was up in their seats, wanting to know who won. Or if there was even someone who won.
Luo Wei Tian quickly stood up and leaned forward at the railing of the royal box. He was looking for Luo Jin despite the blinding light that obscured his view. He knew that this was just a game and Luo Jin wouldn’t really be hurt. But he still couldn’t help but be worried. Especially after seeing such a huge explosion.
He was still admiring his youngest for his unyielding manner of fighting. When that explosion happened. And it was not just an ordinary explosion. It felt more like some small nuclear bomb dropped on the sink. Now, he had no idea what Luo Jin’s current status was.
As he was leaning forward looking for Luo Jin, he felt like his body was about to tilt over the railing. But he had noticed it too late. He couldn’t stop his body from tilting forward.
When he thought that he would really go over the railing, a hand suddenly pulled him back. Followed by someone saying;
"Be careful, Uncle."
Luo Wei Tian glanced back and saw Shen Ji Yun’s silhouette holding his arm. He patted the other’s shoulder. "Thank you, Ji Yun."
It probably wouldn’t be a big problem if he fell from this place, but he still didn’t want to experience such excitement. He’s too old for such thing.
"Dad, let’s sit back," Luo Ren called. "I’m sure Xiao Jin would be alright."
Although even he wasn’t sure if what he said was truly the case. Of course, he wouldn’t tell that straight to his father. The other already looked overly worried as it was.
Luo Wei Tian sat down as Luo Ren said. Worrying needlessly wouldn’t really help. He really hoped his youngest would win this. No, he believed that he would.

[Mashter, what happened to your gnome brother?] – Eclipse asked jumping on Luo Yan’s lap after seeing the explosion.
Luo Yan narrowed his eyes at the screen.
Butterpuff probably knew that she was cornered because of Luo Jin’s last attack. But instead of accepting her immediate lost, she fought back in a way that was highly unexpected. She performed some kind of kamikaze attack. Making sure that even at the last moment, her opponent wouldn’t have it easy either.
Now, none of the people watching this scene was sure of the result of the fight. But everyone knew that it was either of the two – Luo Jin won or it’s a draw. Of course, Luo Yan was hoping for the former.
[He didn’t lose, did he?] – Eclipse asked again.
Luo Yan ruffled the little fox’s head. [No, I’m sure he didn’t.]
As if on cue, the blinding white light that filled the coliseum slowly subdued. Then, little by little, the situation on the rink was revealed. Or it’s probably more accurate to say, the lack of a rink thereof. Yes, the whole rink was completely obliterated.
Luo Yan roamed his eyes around looking for Luo Jin. But he couldn’t see even a shadow of him.
[Mashter, your gnome brother is not there!] – Eclipse shouted, clearly worried as well.
Luo Yan did not respond and just continued to roam his eyes around the now ruined rink. Was the match really a draw?
"Such a shame. I was quite expecting that my next opponent would be the young master," Winged Tassel suddenly said by the side.
The little fox turned to the other and bared his teeth, clearly disliking what Winged Tassel had said.
Luo Yan ignored the comment that the person next to him just said and just continued to look for his brother. And that’s when it happened.
The focus of the camera changed. They were no longer looking at the ruined rink. It was now focused on the Duke of Heart’s floating chair. And Luo Jin was dangling below it, holding one of the chair’s legs.
Luo Yan straight up laughed at the scene.
-----
"I say, are you very comfortable holding on to this lord’s chair?"
Luo Jin heard the duke’s question but he ignored that because he was still cursing that Butterpuff inside his head. That crazy woman. Up until the end, seriously!
How did he survive that explosion, you ask? Well, when Butterpuff disappeared and grabbed him from behind, he had already expected that she must be planning something big.
So, when he felt her body stiffening from behind, he knew that [Chaotic Mind] had taken effect. He took that opportunity to get out of the other’s grasp. Which was not too hard considering that she had already lost control of her body.
But just as he did that, he saw the thing that fell from her hand – a Mana bomb. He happened to see one of those when Su Yuqi used it during their many dungeon raids. So, he knew for one how strong the explosion the bomb would cause. If it went off at that distance, both of them would surely be obliterated. And therefore, the match would turn into a draw.
He cursed under his breath.
But there was no time for him to complain because he needed to move as quickly as he could. In the split second that he had, he glanced around thinking of a possible solution to his problem. Then, his gaze landed on the Duke of Heart sitting high above them.
Calculating the distance and the range of the bomb, he made a decision right there and then. He jumped at the spot just below the chair and then pointed his guns on the floor. He timed the landing of the bomb to the pulling of the trigger. As such, when the bomb went off, its force alongside with the shot he just made catapulted him upwards.
And that’s how he ended up hanging on the duke’s chair leg.
"Do let go," the duke said.. "I can’t announce you as the winner if you continue to hang to my chair like that."
