At this moment.
Pei Xijun and A'li had already left the other contestants far behind.
After all, the top two in the group stage would advance, and with their current advantage, they had already secured their spots.
However.
Neither of them slowed down even the slightest bit.
Their soul rings were both circling around them, emitting incomparably dazzling light.
Because the two of them were no longer competing for advancement, but for the struggle between themselves.
Pei Xijun was fighting to defend her honor and status, while A'li hoped to prove herself and tell everyone in the clan that her, A'li's, strength should not be underestimated.
Pei Xijun's cheering squad was so excited that they were in tears. While they were proud of Pei Xijun, they were also impressed by A'li's courage. They shouted Pei Xijun's name, hoping she could withstand the pressure and continue to maintain her lead.
Their hearts were full of expectations, expecting Pei Xijun to create her own glory.
A'li's supporters were also extremely excited.
They saw A'li's determination and courage, and believed that she would be able to surpass her opponent. They shouted A'li's name, cheering her on, hoping that she could create a miracle in the final moment.
Their hearts were full of hope, believing that A'li could become the victor of this competition.
The finish line was right in front of them, a symbol of victory, and also the end of their struggle.
Pei Xijun gritted her teeth, using all her strength to rush forward.
A'li was not to be outdone, closely following behind her. At this final critical moment, they both unleashed amazing power.
Finally, they crossed the finish line almost simultaneously, like two rays of different colored light streaking across the finish line.
At that moment, the entire arena was silent.
Everyone widened their eyes, nervously staring at the finish line.
Pei Xijun and A'li's figures were like two blurry shadows, crossing the finish line at an indistinguishable speed.
Everyone tried hard to see who crossed the finish line first.
But the two of them were too close, almost simultaneous, making it impossible to judge.
Then, thunderous applause erupted throughout the arena.
Their scores were very close, and the judges were also caught in a tense discussion.
They repeatedly reviewed the race footage, analyzing the moment the two crossed the line from various angles.
But even after careful observation, it was difficult to determine who was the real winner.
On the viewing platform, the Clan Leader Bai He's face was full of shock.
He sat cross-legged, squinted slightly, and took a sip of the tea in front of him.
His gaze was fixed on Pei Xijun and A'li, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart.
"I didn't expect that there would be such an amazingly strong young girl in the clan, who could actually be on par with Jun'er."
The Clan Leader Bai He murmured, turning his head to look at Elder Jian, the person in charge of this competition, beside him.
Elder Jian also had a look of amazement, stroking his beard and saying:
"Clan Leader, these two women are indeed impressive."
"Their strength and perseverance are far beyond their peers. In the future, these two will surely become great talents."
The Clan Leader Bai He also nodded, thoughtfully saying:
"Moreover, their soul ring power is also extremely strong. It seems that they have put in a lot of effort in their cultivation. And their speed, I'm afraid even some of the older generation of the clan would find it difficult to match."
"Yes, Clan Leader."
Elder Jian interjected,
"Their competition also allows us to see the fighting spirit and potential of the younger generation. For our entire Speed Clan, isn't this a good thing?"
The elders nodded in agreement.
"It's just a pity…"
Elder Jian sighed:
"Elder Mo, who devoted his life to cultivating a new generation of talent for our Speed Clan, is…"
"Alas!"
The Clan Leader Bai He interrupted Elder Jian's words.
"Now is the time for the whole clan to celebrate, let's not mention those unhappy things."
The Clan Leader Bai He sighed inwardly and turned his gaze back to the arena.
Elder Jian also wisely stopped the topic.
In the arena.
Pei Xijun and Xiao Li stood there panting, looking at each other.
A'li's breathing was unsteady, she supported herself on her knees with both hands, straightened up and looked at Pei Xijun opposite her, her eyes full of admiration, and took the lead in saying:
"Sister Xijun, it's been a real pleasure to compete with you today!"
"Xiao Li has now experienced your strength. No wonder your status in the hearts of others is so high. I am sincerely convinced."
Pei Xijun gasped slightly, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and responded:
"Xiao Li, you are not bad either. Your decisiveness and intelligence made this competition full of suspense."
"To be honest, if it weren't for your appearance, this competition would have been much less interesting."
Their eyes met, without the slightest hostility, only deep respect.
In this fierce competition, they both tried their best, fighting for their own sake.
Pei Xijun straightened her collar and said to A'li:
"No matter what the outcome of this competition is, I think it's worth it. It's my honor to compete with an opponent like you."
Saying that, she took a step forward and extended her right hand.
A'li nodded with a smile, also extended her right hand, and shook hands with Pei Xijun:
"I feel the same way. Although there are rankings in the competition, in my heart, we are all winners."
Even if the rankings are determined, there is no real loser in this competition.
Because they used their actions to interpret what is hard work and what is struggle.
Finally.
After a long discussion, the judges decided to announce:
Because the two crossed the line at the same time, and the time difference was negligible, it was impossible to distinguish.
Therefore, it was decided that Pei Xijun and A'li would tie for first place in this competition.
This result made the audience boil again.
the audience stood up one after another.
Cheers and applause intertwined to form a unique and wonderful music.
In the crowd, a young man waved his hands excitedly and shouted:
"So wonderful! Pei Xijun is indeed my goddess!" His face was full of excited blush, and his eyes sparkled with admiration for this wonderful duel.
The girl next to him was also full of excitement. She tightly covered her chest with both hands, as if trying to hold down her wildly beating heart.
"Yes, this competition is really exciting. Both of them performed so well."
The girl's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
An elderly man clapped his hands vigorously, his eyes full of admiration.
The years had left deep marks on his face, but at this moment his eyes were as bright as a young man's.
"I didn't expect to see such a wonderful duel. These two girls are great!"
His old partner also nodded in agreement, with a gratified smile on his face.
"That's right, the young people nowadays are really amazing, they have drive and strength."
The old couple looked at each other and laughed heartily.
As if they saw in each other's eyes the emotion for this competition.
There are also expectations for the younger generation, and even the prosperous scene after the reconstruction of the clan in the future.
