Chapter 208 (1/2)

Chapter 208: The True Protagonist Appears

“Both players have already entered, and they both have very serious looks, with no intention of exchanging words. This clearly shows that they acknowledged their opponent’s strength, and they highly value the coming competition! Now, let us wait and see the two Powerhouses’ amazing performance. Let the competition begin!”

What the host said was correct, the two people really valued the competition, but what exactly they valued in it was different.

The sackclothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor from Guifang Country, made the most comprehensive preparations for this competition. The reputation he needed to move a step up in the world rested on this match.

In his thoughts, it was in fact extremely difficult as his opponent was the renowned Vigilante A. The number of opponents that could escape from his grasp could be counted on one hand. Several secret channels were all circulating news about his battle records.

The Lord of Seven Emotions, the Elite Nightmare Demon, Insect Demons, the number one melee Powerhouse in the world Anderson, the number one defense in the world Demon Turtle N’gun, the incarnated God of Destruction King Cobra Shaz… These outstanding demons, each with strong potential and horrifying strength, had all but fallen into his hands one by one.

The only people who fought against him and even managed to escape was the Bai Elder Ancestor and his trusted follower Bai Shixin. The latter was also beaten to a pulp, and has been in bad shape recently.

Therefore, even if his opponent had his soul seriously injured, this sack-clothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor, had already made full preparations to be able to shout surrender at any time, and it was the kind that could be triggered automatically.

Sir System also valued this, as this would determine whether he could fight in more qualifiers. To rack up more cash, it was very important for him to play this show…

This would be more difficult than the last fight. Since the System grew stronger again, it would need to act powerless due to serious injury dealt to the soul, which would certainly be a bit hard.

With the host’s announcement, the competition had officially begun.

The big screen displayed the sack-clothed old man’s calm face. As Vigilante A’s first sword energy beam landed on his body, his figure trembled, a blood red ray flashed across his body.

Afterward, his clothes were slightly ripped open. From the exposed skin at his chest region, there were lines of blood-colored tattoos forming a crisscross pattern, just like some kind of formation tattooed on his body, it turned out that he had already reinforced his body with defenses.

After he managed to block Vigilante A’s first swipe, he seemingly felt relieved, and regained his confidence.

As he pointed out his index finger and started drawing in the air, a complicated and bloody pattern formed instantaneously, then a blood energy charged towards Vigilante A.

Vigilante A immediately evaded, but any person with discerning eyes could see clearly that Vigilante A was seemingly troubled by his soul injury. He seemed to have lost his usual rapid speed while evading, and had a faint sense of incoordination.

Some people were very worried, whereas the potential opponents from China had peace of mind, as if everything was going exactly as they expected, each of them ready to watch a great show.

As the competition progressed, the situation became more distinct. Vigilante A’s attacks were harmless, regardless if it were the long-ranged sword beams or the close-ranged fists and palms. They were all helpless against the sack-clothed old man’s tattoo defense.

The opponent’s blood energy attacks were getting more and more powerful. It seemed that as time passed, the power and speed in the attacks started to multiply.

Every time Vigilante A barely avoided the blood energy, it would lead to a burst of exclamation from the audience on the big screen.

“How did this happen?”

“The Dragon God doesn’t seem too well?”

These spectators who made various exclamations due to fear naturally came from the large stadium outside the arena.

Apart from a portion who were from China, the loudest and the most concerned ones were a group of ladies in the center of the stadium.

These beautiful women had different looks and different nationalities, but all wore delicate makeup and high-end fashion clothes. Each of them looked incredibly beautiful.

They held an Azure Dragon sign in their right hands and wore a pair of dragon horns on their heads. They screamed at the top of their lungs to cheer for Vigilante A, looking like The Eastern Dragon God’s fan club.

Around these beautiful women was a group of young men holding the same sign, and further outward was a group of middle-aged people, some carrying their children, and there were the elderly too… The layers were clearly defined. It did not matter if they were old or young, they were all captured in the same net.

There would definitely be something wrong with the Heavenly principles if someone as handsome as Vigilante A, someone who served justice with an aura of righteousness as well as possessing strong martial arts, was bad at attracting fans

“Haven’t you heard? The Dragon God had been vanquishing numerous monsters and already suffers from serious injuries, yet he was still forced to fight this time,” the well-informed people took the initiative to explain.

“How despicable, for that ugly old man to take advantage of his condition!” one woman said as she stomped her foot.

“Exactly. This is the Dark Tournament Arena, surely they are worried that if the Dragon God recovers from his injury, the match would be easy, so they hastily conducted the competition today…”

It was not good to let the fans worry so much, but the System was also having a hard time too. In order for a genius to pretend to be an underachiever, it was not enough to just answer fewer questions… he had to not do many more things as well.

The System was trying hard to act, and the fans were filled with anxiety. Some people smirked at Vigilante A’s discomfort, but only a certain guy was watching the play…

“Anderson, what is the origin of this Wise Grand Tutor? That blood energy is certainly not nice to deal with,” Fang Ning watched the fight and felt unbearable being trapped, so he started talking to Anderson who was also watching the competition beside him.

He felt slightly regrettable. Since he was in his soul condition, he was unable to eat snacks. Maybe he should trick the System into making some tasty Vitality Pills in the future. He could use the excuse of training to take the medication…

Anderson said, “Replying to Your Excellency, there are records of Wise Grand Tutor in the Balance Association’s database. His original name is Agoura, this host said that he had acquired a prophecy, but in fact, he is possessed by a Descended One of the Upper Realm. However, his mental resilience was strong enough, and managed to defeat the Descended One of the Upper Realm using his advantage as the main host.

“From the memory remnants of the Descended One, he found a method to quickly gain power through blood sacrifices. We always try our best to record down these people who have the potential to trigger large-scale wars, and this person is a main target to focus on.”

Combined with Anderson’s professional explanation, Fang Ning was naturally invigorated as he watched the fight.

Time lapsed unconsciously, the two battled back and forth, and approximately one hour had passed. Vigilante A looked shaky and unsteady… but he was still standing.
