358 Start of The Feas (1/2)
Leon no longer concerned himself with Dark Crystal Mine and continued up the flight of stone stairs with the others. It was only a passing thought.
The amphitheater that lies atop the rocky plateau was colossal and purely made of stone. Leon cannot imagine the amount of manpower and effort that was put into building it. With a seating capacity of 60 thousand people, it was a work of wonder.
As Leon drew close to the colossal amphitheater, the festive mood inside could be sensed.
Only a third of the seating space was used. An array of food was lined up in rings on every third row of stone seats, and even more food was brought out continuously in streams.
”Worthy of being called a Great Feast. It's the first time I've seen a gathering of this magnitude.” Leon sighed emotionally.
”Hahaha, it is too early for Brother Leonhardt to be feeling impressed. Wait until you try our food, then you will know what impressive is.” Ironhead laughed as he led the way inside.
A waft of exquisite aroma made its way to Leon. His entire body felt energized after a quick whiff, and his eyes sparkled with greater anticipation.
Good aroma does not necessarily mean good food, but it does raise one's expectation for one.
At this moment, not a single person had touched the food. Their attention was all drawn towards the center of the amphitheater.
The Great Feast had yet to start, but two Great Warriors were already duking it out on the square battle arena.
While competing for rankings, they also liven up the atmosphere by giving everyone a show to watch.
”Go, Big Brother Hardknuckles! Take him down! You can do it!”
”Good punch! Keep it up! Don't give him a chance to fight back!”
”What are you doing, Big Brother Spearback!? You gotta fight back! Don't keep dodging! You can't let Big Brother Hardknuckles suppress you like this!”
”Fight! Defend your ranking, Big Brother Spearback!”
While the younger generations cheered for each side, the older ones entered a deeper level of discussion.
”Who do you think will win this time?” Strongarm asked.
”Hard to say. Hardknuckles and Spearback are quite close in strength. One thing I can say is everyone had made great strides in their cultivation during the previous battle. There is bound to be a great shuffling in the rankings today.” Blackbear said.
”Hardknuckles' attacks are very ferocious, and his momentum is on the rise. Spearback has no chance to fight back at all. I'd say Hardknuckles got this one.” Scarface said.
Knucklefist shook his head and said, ”He will lose.”
”Oh? Why do you say that?” The others asked with interest.
”In a battle between two sides of equal strength, it is only natural for the victor to be the one that lasts longer. Although my brother Hardknuckles currently holds the momentum, he will not be able to keep it up forever. Can't you see the fatigue that is already written all over his face? Success can't be rushed.” Knucklefist said with a sigh.
He was evidently disappointed. His little brother was still inexperienced despite reaching the Great Warrior Realm.
”Eh? Knucklefist is right. Look at their faces. Hardknuckles will not be able to continue executing such high-level attacks for long. On the other hand, Spearback is still calm and collected. He has not broken a single sweat!”
Shortly after, the situation in the battle arena changed.
Spearback was forced to the edge of the battle arena, and he was about to be knocked off. However, at that very moment, Hardknuckles' barrage of attack weakened due to accumulated fatigue.
Spearback instantly grabbed the chance to swiftly sidestep around to Hardknuckles' back and give him a palm strike, sending the person flying off the battle arena.
Hardknuckles was sent flying off the battle arena.
”Aiya! Big Brother Hardknuckles just lost!”
”What! How did Big Brother Hardknuckles lose?! Wasn't he about to win?! Can someone tell me what just happened?!”
