Sword God in a World of Magic

Lei snorted.

Then, the Mana Shield around him slowly vanished, and the arrow that had triggered the Mana Shield fell to the ground.

Lei had fought contestant 12 evenly, but with the addition of the composite bow, Lei had been forced to make several rushed and awkward movements.

Because of the bow, Lei had lost.

"Weapon Variance, huh?" Lei said as he put his trident away. "It seems like I underestimated its power."

Lei couldn't complain since both of them were at the same level.

Lei had lost fair and square.

Contestant 12 nodded. "The Impose Stage is more than impressive. It has been a long time since I had such a difficult battle against someone on my level."

Lei snorted again, but the more perceptive people could notice that he actually only wanted to appear tough and dismissive. Some people could tell that Lei enjoyed the compliment.

"Congratulations," Lei said as his arrogant smirk returned. "You might be amongst the twenty most powerful warriors in the world, but I wouldn't bet on it."

The warriors were immediately furrowing their brows, and even contestant 12 seemed annoyed.

Contestant 12 was now among the top four in the tournament. Was Lei saying that there were over 16 warriors outside the tournament that could defeat him?

That seemed unlikely.

"What? You don't believe me?" Lei asked with a smirk. "Why do you think I was chosen specifically for this tournament?"

"It's because I am average," Lei said with a laugh.

The people only looked at Lei with furrowed brows.

"I'm the most average Impose Stage warrior. I've comprehended an average Path, which made for an average Impose. I have been in some dangerous battles, but they are not common to me."

"I've been sent to demonstrate the average power of an Impose Stage warrior."

"And with my average power, I made it to the top eight here. That's honestly quite sad."

Most of the warriors became infuriated again. They obviously didn't believe Lei's words, and they felt like Lei was only saying these things to disrespect them.

Contestant 1 furrowed his brows as he looked at Lei.

It was difficult to admit, but he believed Lei.
