"What the heck is wrong with Death Bringer?"
"Why did he suddenly deactivate his stealth?"
"Is he trying to throw the match and fake the fight?"
The crowd went into uproar, with many believing Death Bringer was trying to fake the match, which was a taboo in the Arena.
However, the crowd quickly turned 180 degrees once they realized something was amiss.
It wasn''t that Death Bringer willingly undoes his stealth, but the fact that he got a creaturetched onto it. The creature itself was shimmering in a golden light, directly exposing his location.
What made it worse was that the creature was draining its mana, preventing Death Bringer from being able to maintain his stealthiness.
In other words, his amazing stealth was rendered useless, and maintaining it was only going to deteriorate his mana further.
"Hmph, so what if you can undo my stealth?" Death Bringer snorted coldly, his eyes ring at Carmen. "I can still defeat you easily without my stealth!"
"It seems like the battle is already over…" Xu Feng murmured softly, having expected the oue of the battle already.

Sure enough, Carmen''s grin widened further when she realized her opponent''s brain was only so-so.
"You are really one pitiful assassin," Carmen gave her utmost condolences to him.
"W-What?" Startled, Death Bringer didn''t quiteprehend her meaning, but before he could ask further, he copsed to the floor.
Shortly after his copse, the system announced the victor.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Victor: Lunar Wraith
With the victor disying brightly, the referee also announced Carmen as the victor of the bnced fight.
Although the referee was also somewhat surprised by the result, the disy could not be incorrect. Thus, it was certain that Carmen had indeed won fair and square.
Meanwhile, the crowd went dead silent, their mouths left agape. They were utterly speechless and confused as to what had just happened.
One moment, Death Bringer undoed his stealth and proimed that he still could defeat her without his stealth. Yet in the very next second, he plopped to the floor like some dead fish.
Just how were they supposed toprehend the situation?
"Is this Death Bringer an imposter?" One of the spectators asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, it has to be. This is the most anti-climactic fight ever!" Another chimed in.
Despite their confusion, Carmen ignored them and gracefully exited the stage.
As she returned to Xu Feng''s side, many gazes were locking on them, but Carmen paid no heed and asked, "How was my fight, Guild Leader?"
"You are the quite cheeky one," Xu Feng mused, giving her a slight pinch on the face.
"I never expected you to obtain a hidden ss already." He added, clearly taken aback by this revtion.
However, Carmen was the most surprised one, unsure of how Xu Feng managed to deduce the reasoning behind her wless victory so easily.
"How did you know, Guild Leader?" She asked with widened eyes. "I was nning on telling you myself, but you figured it out."
"Of course, I would know when you tantly used such skills." Xu Fengughed bitterly.
Carmen was truly speechless when Xu Feng mentioned skills, and not the singr term, skill.
In other words, he already knew which skills she had used to secure her victory.
"Guild Leader''s insight is really scary." Carmen pursed her lips, clearly somewhat disappointed. She had been shocked repeatedly by Xu Feng''s conduct and wanted to use this as an opportunity to get back at him.
Yet who would have thought her so-called payback wasughable?
Not only did Xu Feng deduce she had a hidden ss, but he even seemed to know which hidden ss'' skills she had utilized.
Meanwhile, Xu Feng felt somewhat bad when he saw her turn gloomy.
He faked a cough and exined, "I just know it''s a hidden ss and based on the actions, I merely deduced you must have used multiple skills. As for what it is, I''m going to have to hear your exnation."
Almost instantaneously, Carmen''s expression turned for the better as she sped her hands.
"Ehe, so were you shocked by my hidden ability?" She asked coyly.
Nodding, Xu Feng must admit he was really amazed by her. "Indeed, if you didn''t reveal it today, then I would have never known."
"Let me tell you—"
Carmen wanted to exin, but Xu Feng stopped her by putting his hand on her mouth, touching her fragrance and soft lips.
"Let me collect the winning bets and we return to the hotel first." Xu Fengmented, not borating further.
Realization dawned upon Carmen once she noticed most of the spectators had their ears perked up. Naturally, they were equally curious and wanted to hear what she had done to defeat Death Bringer so easily.
As for Death Bringer, the moment he was healed from the formation, he held a fearful expression at Carmen before dipping quickly.
Others had only known he plopped to the ground after 3 seconds of undoing his stealth, but no one else knew what he truly experienced.
When Carmen''s gaze suddenlynded on him after she was reminded by Xu Feng, Death Bringer nearly shat his pants in horror.
Thankfully, Carmen didn''t seem to care much about him and moved her gaze.
''Bnced fight my ass! Who the hell lets someone like her registered toe and torture lowly people like me?'' Death Bringer cursed the organizers and whoever approved of Carmen to be a fighter.
While Death Bringer became traumatized by the event, Xu Feng and Carmen swiftly returned to their hotel after collecting the winning bets.
During this time, news of Carmen, or her in-game name, Lunar Wraith began to spread like wildfire within the Arena.
Once in their private hotel room, with two beds and luxurious furniture, Carmeny on the bed and giggled, "Are you curious about the skills I used, Guild Leader?"
"Yes, I am." Xu Feng yed along, taking on her role as a curious bunny whereas she was the educated one.
Feeling prideful, Carmen sat up straight, and with a know-it-all tone, she continued, "It''s nothing special. They are just ss-exclusive skills of Voidmancer."
