Since there were only three teams present, it was clear that they were still awaiting the arrival of the fourth team to finalize the top four. As they waited, Luo Yan turned to Bai Ze and Luo Jin. The sudden elimination of team Mozu's captain had made him curious, and he wanted to know what had happened.
"Brother Ze, how did you eliminate team Mozu's captain?" he asked.
"Don't ask me, it's Xiao Jin's work," Bai Ze said.
Everyone at team Yunyue turned to Luo Jin after hearing that. And the other just shrugged.
"I activated my [Meteor] and [Hailstorm] skills, forcing him to focus on dodging. While he was distracted and trying to avoid the attacks, I aimed carefully and shot him in the back of the head."
He spoke as if it was no big deal, but everyone knew pulling it off wasn't easy, especially against the captain of last year's top four team. Sure, some might say it was just a sneak attack, but even that required a good amount of skill to pull off successfully.
Luo Yan playfully ruffled his brother's hair. "Nice work, Ah Jin. You're starting to look more like an Assassin than I do!"

"Maybe you'll be the NovelFireP again in this match," Su Yuqi added.
"I worked hard as well, you know?" Bai Ze mumbled, pouting.
"I'm sure you did," Su Yuqi said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You worked so hard, your dragon ended up incapacitated again."
Just as Luo Yan was mulling over these thoughts, Lana and Lila suddenly appeared. Lana wore her usual serious expression, while Lila flashed her trademark playful smile.
Lana's serious gaze swept over the teams. "Congratulations to the top four," she said, her tone formal and direct. "You've made it this far, but the real challenge begins now."
Lila, still smiling playfully, chimed in. "Oh, don't look so tense! You've all done great so far. But things are about to get a lot more... interesting." She winked, adding a teasing edge to her words.
Lana nodded. "We expect nothing less than your best in the semi-finals. The next round will test not just your strength, but your wits."
Lila twirled a lock of her hair, grinning. "Exactly! It's going to be fun watching how you handle what's coming. So, good luck—you're going to need it!"
"Before that, let's all give a round of applause to this round's MVPs."
As soon as Lana finished speaking, four large screens appeared, each displaying the MVPs from the top four teams. The first screen showed a montage of Uriel from team Celestials. Next to it was a montage of team Fenghuang's captain. The third screen featured Su Yuqi from team Yunyue. Finally, the last screen displayed a montage of team Sanguis' vice-captain.
Lana glanced at the screens, then back at the teams. "Congratulations to the MVPs of each team. Your performance so far has been impressive."
Lila clapped her hands together, her smile bright. "Well done, all of you! It's no small feat to stand out in such fierce competition."
Lana nodded, her tone serious. "We'll see you all in the semifinals tomorrow. Prepare well."
Lila smiled playfully. "Rest up and get ready. Tomorrow's going to be fun!"
And so, the quarter-finals of the Arcadia Cup finally came to an end.
