Chapter 486 - Sent Flying In Just One Strike (1/2)

Tieh Chen looked around him and realized that he did not know who this person was.

After all, he was forced to partic.i.p.ate in the trial of the Prodigy Tournament. And Fengli City had no colonies—so there was no need to fight among themselves because there were no different factions inside the city. Every single partic.i.p.ant was personally selected by the city. Hence, the other families did not have intel about their opponents at all.

Tieh Chen stepped into the ring as the energy s.h.i.+eld covered up the ring, isolating the noises and energies from outside.

This was necessary to avoid meta-playing the ring. If an experienced warrior were to be allowed to instruct the partic.i.p.ants and hint them about the enemies’ weaknesses, it would not be a “compet.i.tion” anymore.

Still, as the people from other families and the leaders of the four cities saw the name on the screen, they could not help but feel that something was off.

“Qin Feng? No way. Could it be a young man with the same name as him?”

“It must be a coincidence. The governor wouldn’t partic.i.p.ate in a small game like this!”

“But, the governor’s age is quite young too… right?!”

Everyone looked at one another in surprise.

Meanwhile, the host of the arena started to introduce the information of the two combatants.

“First, let us look at the combatant here. Tieh Chen! Nineteen years old and an E3-tier. His specialties are Arctic Kick, Gale Palm and Plum Sword Technique. Tieh Chen is considered to be the most talented partic.i.p.ant in this season of the Prodigy Tournament. He’s the best of the best in the Four Cities of the North Sea!”

Great praises for Tieh Chen sounded over and over again via the speaker.

Then, another silhouette appeared. It was a young man, around the height of 190cm, well-built but a little thinner than Tieh Chen.

He had a white combat suit on, with two golden words printed on his back—”Fengli”.

Everyone who partic.i.p.ated in this trial all wore this uniform. As such, there was nothing unusual about the young man when he appeared in the scene.

The host opened his mouth again.

“Alright, now on to the other combatant. Qin Feng! Seventeen years old and had only just awakened his apt.i.tude a year ago. As for his true strength… let us not spoil it for now.”

The host was an experienced MC in tournaments like this. Thus, he knew how to spice things up at the right time. And of course, he knew this “Qin Feng” was the mayor of Fengli City.

Yet, when he saw the data, he was quite speechless too.

It was written that Qin Feng was a C-tier. Yet, it was quite difficult for him to mention this.

Not only that, Qin Feng had already organized a bet for this fight. The odds for Qin Feng were not really high nor low, but if you bet on him you would definitely win back your money. Yet, the ones who did not know who Qin Feng was would definitely put their bet on Tieh Chen.

This was like trying to scam these people, right?

The ones who knew Qin Feng were all from the Fengli colony. Some of them were also locals of Shadong Town. Yet, there was still a large number of the audience who did not know who Qin Feng was—most of them were mercenaries and citizens from other cities. They knew who Tieh Chen was but not Qin Feng.

Thus, the bet on each of the combatants were tied at a high number.

“Tieh Chen is going to win this!”

“That’s right. Tieh Chen is a Prodigy that was specifically trained for this. He is already an E3-tier when he’s this young. I don’t know who that Qin Feng is but since the host isn’t mentioning his strength at all… it must be because he’s too weak, I think!”

“Fengli City is a newly built city. They don’t have a prodigy!”

“Yeah, but you should at least have an E-tier strength. If not, you aren’t allowed to partic.i.p.ate. This seventeen-year-old is quite talented too!”

“Yeah, this Qin Feng might win this. But his odds aren’t really good. There’s no need to bet on him!”
