The ninth match held no suspense whatsoever; with just a few clashes of magic, Gu Tian easily secured victory, defeating an opposing Magus and bringing the score to five to four. In the tenth match, Feng Zhi personally entered the fray and effortlessly took down his opponent, bringing both sides back to the starting line. However, the following matches proved to be a shock for Feng Zhi and the other three elders. The opposing Magicians were surprisingly formidable, and in the subsequent six matches, they won four, bringing the score to nine to seven. With just one more victory, they would achieve final triumph. The contest had been going on for a full day, and as the sunset slowly descended in the west, its dying light stained the clouds red. At this moment, the critical phase of the competition between the two sides had arrived.
