The Mantis Referee announced the decision.
"Wow, the winner is still a strong one from the Angel Camp. This previous publicly strongest member of the Angel Camp really isn’t just an average person. His strength is very powerful. Ladies and gentlemen in the audience, did you all see that? His strength is very powerful!"
The host on the stage tried furiously to hype up the atmosphere, but it seemed to have little effect.
"What the heck, this guy’s strength isn’t that great, okay? He just fought recklessly, relying on just a bit of undeveloped True Energy to win. What kind of skill is that? It’s not strong at all!"
From the contestant’s seat near the field, some Strong Ones also voiced similar sentiments at this moment.
There was no helping it; their expectations had been skewed by the previous battle between Mid-term powerhouses.
And that victorious Four-eyed Monster wasn’t in a good state either. His body had places where he’d been struck twice by his opponent, and now he was standing unsteadily.
"Can you still continue? Don’t say I didn’t remind you. Even if you can still win, there are battles tomorrow," the Mantis Referee approached the Four-eyed Monster and reminded him indifferently.
"Uh... no, I’ve told my subordinate, I would try to reduce the number of his opponents. Besides, my special ability is fast recovery. I’ll definitely be recovered by tomorrow," the Four-eyed Monster hesitated for a moment, then said resolutely.
The referee had only given a reminder, and saying no more, he announced the start of the next match.
This time the opponent was a strong Giant, resembling a mountain of rock, but compared to the previous three opponents, the difference in strength was as vast as heaven and earth.
After all, he was the fourth contender from a mid-level force, a seed player no less. His strength was such that even the Four-eyed Monster, displaying his rudimentary True Energy, had no chance of defeating him!
An arm sent the Four-eyed Monster flying with a fierce blow.
"Victory for Dragon Roar Battle Arena." The judging Strong One showed no pity for the Four-eyed Monster; perhaps he thought the fellow had brought the injury upon himself by not heeding his advice, and thus, did not deserve sympathy.
"Jia Yan, sorry, I couldn’t bring you directly in front of the fifth-ranked strong one."
The withdrawing Four-eyed Monster passed by Jia Yan and said with a hint of apology.
"This has already exceeded my expectations. You’ve done quite well," Jia Yan responded.
"I’ll take over from here. However, after the match is over, I have something I’d like to ask you about."
He said, stepping onto the stage.
The thing Jia Yan wanted to learn about from the Four-eyed Monster was naturally about True Energy. For Jia Yan, this new term might be related to his future strength, an element vitally connected to his potential power increase. How could he not seize the opportunity to find out more?
And right in front of him was someone familiar with this subject. If he didn’t make good use of this, how could he live up to his eager heart!
"Jia Yan, right? Finally, those wastes are gone, and you’ve come out."
The Giant opponent spoke indifferently to Jia Yan as he stepped onto the stage.
This Monster’s body was a good fifty meters in size, towering so high he seemed to black out the sun, looking at Jia Yan as if he were indeed looking at a little bug.
"Let’s not waste words, fight," said Jia Yan, not bothering to pay too much attention to him but looking past his opponent at that nearly Mid-Starry Sky Stage existence behind him, known as ’Electric Society’ in the data. A fighting spirit flashed in his eyes!
"Interesting." The Electric Society stood proudly in the back, looking at Jia Yan’s figure with a sense of interest.
He had intended to teach Jia Yan a lesson, but unexpectedly the latter challenged him first with his gaze. Could this Flying Strong Person be so eager to court death?!
"Looking at the Electric Society? So contemptuous of me, die!"
The Giant, seeing Jia Yan merely looking at the Electric Society behind him, instantly became enraged. Being the second-in-command of the Dragon Roar Battle Arena, although his strength was a bit less than the Electric Society’s, he was confident about catching up someday. Moreover, his subordinates had been subtly rivaling those of the Electric Society. How could they keep calm when someone wishing to confront the Electric Society thus disregarded him?
The gigantic Giant swung a fist at Jia Yan like a mountain itself.
Jia Yan, displaying his speed, easily leaped away.
The battle almost turned into a weakened replay of the previous two Mid-Starry Sky Stage Powerhouses’ fight. Jia Yan’s speed was nearly unsolvable for the Giant, and the audience thought Jia Yan didn’t dare to attack, that if he were even brushed by a blow, he would doubtlessly be defeated.
But Jia Yan’s strength wasn’t really far from matching that of the Giant Monster!
Just when everyone thought the fight would turn into a war of attrition!
Big Mosquito sped up, his forelimb thrusting fiercely, almost piercing the Giant’s skull!
The Giant’s face showed shock and fear; he knew all too well how fierce Jia Yan’s forelimbs were, having even killed a Dragon Strong before. Considering that the defense of the Dragon Strong Ones was in no way inferior to his, yet it had still been slain by Jia Yan!
Luckily, today’s battle was just a match.
A massive blade-like forelimb blocked in front of Jia Yan’s sharp forelimb...
"The outcome is decided." The Mantis Referee’s indifferent voice gently reached the ears of both.
Having experienced something before, Jia Yan showed no surprise.
He halted his speed and leaped back to his position.
The Giant, just recovered from the brink of life and death, looked at Jia Yan with an expression that mixed resentment with a trace of fear.
"The winner of this match is the Angel Camp’s contender, Jia Yan!"
The Mantis Strongman announced.
Taking advantage of the audience’s commotion, the Mantis Referee glanced at his blade-like forelimb inadvertently and was suddenly taken aback...
It turned out, the spot where it had blocked Jia Yan’s sharp forelimb now bore a small indentation!
"So sharp?" He was slightly shocked; among so many contenders, hardly anyone could injure him.
Looking intently at Jia Yan, the judging Strong One finally acknowledged Jia Yan with a hint of respect in his heart.
Thank you all for your tips.
