The live screen was divided into two parts, and the audience held their breath as they stared fixedly at the screen.

On the left side, Wei Yan held up an assault gun and staggered to the end of the corridor. The moths that had flown up into the air and blotted out the sky turned into martyrs and fell down in the twinkling of an eye.

On the right, Wu Jin dragged an anti-tank gun with him and rushed into the instance. Almost everyone felt that there was a wide disparity in strength between him and Wu Jin, but they’d ignored an important factor––

Stamina.

Out of the last seven rounds that had extremely short time limits for clearing instances, Wei Yan had spent six rounds fighting. At this time, he was exhausted and was already fighting on pure instinct.

However, Wu Jin had spent the entire time in safe zones, avoiding battle, and had been able to keep up his spirit and energy.

His marksmanship was only at the level of static target seventh ring, but it didn’t prevent him from fighting in the way that would consume the most resources.

He also had a heavy impact reloading gun––Wu Jin fired the anti-tank gun freely and wasn’t stingy with the remaining bullets. It was like he was fighting his last battle and had to win at all costs.

Two minutes later, the two cleared the instance at the same time.

Blood Pigeon, who’d thought that the competition was over, was stunned. “It can be seen that Little Witch very much wants to win. It was a very wonderful fight, but it’s definitely not a textbook battle. Wu Jin has used up all of his supplies, and I’m afraid that in the next instance...”

Ying Xiangxiang suddenly pushed lightly against his shoulder.

On the edge of the map where Wu Jin was located, there was a safe zone once again––just like ‘reproduction’.

Wu Jin seemed to have calculated where it was and didn’t hesitate to cross the corridor and head towards ‘life through death’.

At the thirty-first time unit, Wei Yan once again entered an A-level instance while Wu Jin remained safe.

At the thirty-second time unit, Wei Yan encountered a C-level instance, and Wu Jin stepped into a safe zone once again.

Blood Pigeon’s eyes widened in amazement––

On the screen, Wei Yan’s face turned white. It was obvious he’d already reached his limit.

Dr. Chen, who was to one side, finally spoke up, “Little Witch won.”

There was a flash of white light on the camera. Wei Yan’s physical strength ran out, and he fell into the silver life-saving capsule.

The announcement tone suddenly rang out:

“Congratulations to contestant 300012, Wu Jin. Second elimination match passed. Rank: 1.”

“The second elimination match is over. Duration six hours, seventeen minutes.”

In the pitch dark competition arena, the entrance over the track at the top suddenly opened up, and fresh air poured in.

Light also streamed in at the same time.

The grid that consisted of 961 squares and represented living cells began to move upwards even as it all lit up at the same time. The gears snapped, metal grinding against metal as sparks flew out from the pulleys due to the sudden acceleration. There was the endless clacking of mechanisms activating as the entire structure rose.
