He raised his hand and turned around. For a moment, both contestants and spectators all looked toward the most spacious main stand in the arena, where several Mei Ji surrounded a bloated giant twice the size of an ordinary member of the Horned Race.
He was still hooked up to an IV drip, but in front of everyone’s eyes, he was dressed decently and did not have the beauty sitting on him. His luxurious chair was equipped with wheels, pushed by maids.
When all eyes focused on the Platinum King, he waved.
Reed looked a bit stunned. One of the maids listened to the fat giant’s words and took the loudspeaker, saying: "The King of Combat says he only talks to champions, you can start now."
"Hmm? He has always looked down on eliminations, but is he not even pretending this year?" a contestant said.
"Don’t they promote some honor and fighting spirit every year? He loves showing face but doesn’t even speak, seems like his health is really failing."
"I think even he doesn’t believe in it, as long as I get the prize money! This year they added many good things, which is why I returned!"
"I came for the Platinum Ace’s ship. If I get that, I would try competing in the racing championship."
"Haha, that rabbit boy didn’t serve the Platinum King well, even got the ship taken away, now he himself is fighting."
"Just right, this time I’ll avenge being pushed off the cliff by him!"
The fact that the Platinum King wasn’t speaking surprised many warriors.
"Uh... okay, let’s see, this year’s selection project is different from the past." Reed flipped through the pages handed over by nearby staff, browsing as he shouted: "This year we’re not doing any fancy selection, haha, everyone, aren’t you tired of those boring obstacle courses?! I’m tired of explaining them too!"
"Yes!" "Get on with it!" His words stirred the audience, who bought tickets to watch thrilling combat duels, as obstacle course segments received the lowest ratings.
"No obstacle course? Then what are we doing?"
A contestant said: "Perhaps the underground mechanism is broken, they don’t want to fix it."
He stomped on the ground.
From the elevated platform where Reed stood and the surrounding ground, the patterned surface indicated that the inside of Flowing Silver Arena is not entirely soil, but contains various raiseable mechanical platforms, the whole arena is a world of its own.
"Be it obstacles or mazes, they waste most of our day! On the first day, you only see very few battles!"
Reed shouted: "So this time, to repay the audience’s support, we will start fighting directly! What comes is the most straightforward collision!"
As the mounting waves of voices from the spectators rose, the host announced the selection project.
"After I announce the start, all participants will directly begin a large chaotic battle!"
Reid’s passionate voice echoed throughout the arena: "No rules! No holding back! Knock down those around you! Just like the main match, life and death don’t matter! You only need to kill until only sixteen teams remain! By then, I will blow the whistle to stop!"
"So, now, begin!"
As his voice fell, the audience’s roar shook the heavens.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
"Eh? Wait, what did he say? Survive to the last in a chaotic battle? God! Only a tenth of the hundreds here can stay." Dorothy lamented.
"How could it be like this?" ALulu said: "A competition that takes pleasure in killing?"
"Be careful." Zoe said with a serious expression.
After the host unexpectedly announced the selection method, people nearby had already drawn their weapons and focused their gaze on the three.
The Combat Competition always had participants who toyed with the idea, usually eliminated early on, and this chaotic battle is equal to hell for such people.
The three beautiful girls had long been targets of focus, and now with the host’s words complete, they became soft targets in others’ eyes.
"Hey hey, little girl, shouting all about, die for me! I love killing women the most!"
An extremely strong man raised a wolf-toothed hammer, directly smashing it toward Zoe in front of him.
In amber golden armor and skirt armor white skirt, she appeared to be just a visitor dressed for occasion.
The wolf-toothed hammer stirred a raging wind as the attacker’s wild laughter became increasingly piercing.
But it all stopped in an instant.
Zoe flicked the blood off the Wind Breath Sword, kicked away the burly man whose hammer’s handle had shattered, a wide blood gash opened on his chest and abdomen.
The Ruby Eyes hinted at a trace of blood-red, Zoe’s small mouth was now wide open, an enthusiastic excitement evident on her face.
"Kill!"
The slightly hoarse girlish voice shouted in excitement, she drew out the flame sword handle with her other hand, and the rolling flame tongue forced back an approaching knife-wielder.
An invisible force gathered the fire flame, the flame blade burned and cut short the incoming long whip.
The young girl stepped quickly, the metallic sharp blades on the skirt edges spun and flew, a golden flower bloomed quickly becoming a harvesting blade, countless attackers who thought they could easily handle a petite girl were left bleeding and fell face-first.
Li Ang nodded from the stands, having experienced multiple real combats with a large number of demons, the girl’s swordsmanship had been practiced to resemble instinctual movements, even when facing humans, she didn’t hesitate.
Dorothy gritted her teeth, suddenly people shouted to fight and kill her, her brows furrowed fiercely, she retreated into ALulu’s defense circle.
A soft looking beauty dressed like in a formal dress, a youthful Horned Race lacking even the budding horns quickly became targets for attack.
A well-matched team charged together, the vanguard held a round shield and nail hammer, two warriors one wielding a dual-handed axe, another with two curved sabers, while at the back was an archer drawing a bow and gaining strength, with another thief aiming a crossbow.
