"The winner of the ranked match between Kavin and Mountain Crushing Twin Fist Donaven... and the new Ninth Ranked Spell Caster is... Kavin!"
The announcer's voice thundered throughout the arena. For a brief moment, silence hung over the battlefield.
Then the entire arena erupted.
A deafening roar rose from tens of thousands of spectators as cheers, whistles, and excited shouts merged into a single wave of noise.
Many people jumped to their feet while others slammed their hands against the railings in excitement.
Even those who had lost their bets found themselves cheering.
The duel had been worth every tael.
The battle had been brutal, unpredictable, and entertaining from beginning to end.
Watching Kavin survive Donaven's overwhelming assault before slowly turning the fight around had left everyone thoroughly satisfied.
Meanwhile, at the center of the arena, Donaven's massive body remained sprawled inside the crater.
The giant looked miserable.
