As soon as he came in.
Zeig immediately noticed that the battle situation here was extremely intense♂.
He leaned over to someone nearby and asked curiously:
"You guys call him Cold Dragon Young?"
That spectator nodded. "Yeah, it's such a nice name, and it fits his image perfectly. Don't you think it's very appropriate?"
Zeig stared at the ring, at the two robots facing Dan Heng, and asked doubtfully:
"Isn't this supposed to be the Fight Club? Robots are allowed too?"
That spectator explained:
"You've never been in here before, right? What's wrong with robots? The more variety in fighters, the more exciting it is to watch, isn't it?"
Zeig pointed at the two robots and continued: "Robots are one thing, but how can the opponent send two? Is this a gang-up?"
That spectator remained calm and smiled:
"Making a fuss over nothing. Teaming up is already pretty common. As long as it's not too outrageous, it's fine."
Zeig had thought this was a 1v1 solo fight, but robots were allowed, and even ganging up was okay.
There was basically no fairness at all.
"Then can I go up too?" Zeig pointed at himself and asked curiously.
That spectator was stunned for a moment, then replied: "What, your hands itching too? If you want to officially sign up as a boxer, you have to talk to the boss outside. But if you just want to join temporarily, go ask that Dr. Dig over there. Maybe you'll get to go up."
"Dr. Dig? Is he really good at digging?"
"I don't know about digging—maybe he's really good at pounding. Hey, stop bothering me. It's about to start. Go, go, go—shoo."
That spectator pushed Zeig toward Dr. Dig.
Zeig scratched his head and asked Dr. Dig: "Uh, can I participate?"
"Hm? Who are you?" Dr. Dig asked doubtfully.
"I'm that deadpan guy's teammate. I want to go up and help."
"A friend of Cold Dragon Young?" Dr. Dig thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, then go ahead and go up."
Immediately after.
Under everyone's gaze.
Zeig very naturally stepped onto the ring and stood opposite Dan Heng.
Dan Heng: "..."
The two robots: "???"
Noticing Dan Heng's gaze, Zeig glanced to the side and immediately scratched his head:
"Sorry, stood in the wrong spot. Haha."
As he spoke, he started moving toward Dan Heng's side.
But unexpectedly, Dan Heng reached out to stop him:
"Wait, just stay like that."
"?" Zeig looked completely confused.
"Zeig, how about we have a match?" Dan Heng said seriously.
"Are you crazy? I came to find you, and you actually want to fight me." Zeig said in shock.
"The moves you use—I've always felt they look somewhat familiar, but I've never had the chance to spar. This is a good opportunity to exchange pointers."
"You're sure?"
"Sure."
Seeing Dan Heng being so serious, Zeig could only agree:
"Fine then. Since you said so, I'll humor you for now."
The next moment.
He pulled out a lance and pointed it at Dan Heng, excitedly saying:
"Come at me! Our bond is unbreakable! You cannot defeat us!"
Down below, Dr. Dig was instantly stunned.
Didn't that black-haired guy say he was teammates with Cold Dragon Young? How did he end up on the opposite side?
But after thinking about it, this seemed even more interesting.
He immediately announced loudly:
"Alright! Now entering the ring is Cold Dragon Young 's teammate—Cold-Faced Little Black Dragon! He has stood opposite Cold Dragon Young and become his opponent!"
The spectators below were instantly stunned.
"Huh? If they're teammates, why is he on the opposite side?"
"Maybe he just really wants to beat the other guy up."
"Oh my god, Cold-Faced Little Black Dragon is so handsome too. His eyes really look like they're glowing."
"Why does Cold-Faced Little Black Dragon look so excited?"
"I think it's because he usually gets pounded a lot by Cold Dragon Young, so he wants to turn the tables and pound him on the ring."
"Can you stop always thinking about pounding!"
"Oh? Do you want to get pounded too? Remember to come to my room tonight."
…
With Dr. Dig's announcement, this 3v1 ring match.
Officially began.
The two big iron chunks charged toward Dan Heng first.
Dan Heng's gaze sharpened. He retreated several steps to dodge their impacts, then drew his spear and ruthlessly pierced through their bodies.
"Clang——"
In an instant.
The two big iron chunks were skewered together, with small parts falling to the ground like blood.
Dan Heng didn't take these two automaton soldiers seriously at all. His gaze had always been fixed on Zeig.
But unexpectedly, Zeig suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted sadly: "No——my partners, you can't fall! Damn it, don't underestimate our bond!"
As he spoke, he raised Abyss Flower and thrust forward into the air.
Suddenly, a strange power escaped from the lance and flowed into the bodies of the two automaton soldiers.
The parts that had fallen to the ground slowly rose up and reattached themselves.
"This is... Abundance?!" Dan Heng's pupils contracted sharply.
"Zeig's Path is clearly Remembrance... No, he hasn't chosen any Path at all."
"Partners, pull yourselves together! Our journey lies among the stars and seas!" Zeig, standing on the opposite side, waved his lance and ordered the attack.
The two automaton soldiers struggled, broke free from Dan Heng's spear, and continued their fierce assault.
Dan Heng repeated his method, dodging the attacks again and knocking them to the ground once more.
At this point, Zeig's shouting rang in his ears again.
"My brave knights, you can't fall yet... Rise! The world needs you!"
White radiance flowed into the automaton soldiers' bodies, and they were healed back to life.
Dan Heng: "..."
The crowd watching below erupted in uproar.
"Huh, that lance looks just like the one my grandpa drew before. A few years ago, there was a mysterious physician who carried exactly this kind of lance."
"Hiss, I think it looks familiar too."
"Isn't that the physician? And why can he even heal automaton soldiers?"
"No, that's not the healing we're familiar with—it's a more profound method of repair."
"Then what about Cold Dragon Young? Every time he knocks down the two big guys, Cold-Faced Little Black Dragon heals them back up. It's endless."
Dan Heng silently observed Zeig's eyes. Though still golden, they were different from what he remembered.
When Zeig was truly serious, his pupils shone like molten gold. The color now was too faint.
"Aren't you going to take this seriously?" Dan Heng asked.
"I'm already very serious." Zeig sat on the ground, watching the 2v1 fight with great interest, leisurely leaning on his lance.
"As a healer, of course I have to cheer from the back."
"..."
Dan Heng was speechless.
The two robots charged over again.
He had originally wanted to test Zeig's skills, but he hadn't expected this situation.
The situation had turned into—
Dan Heng brutally beating the automaton soldiers.
Zeig healing them once.
The soldiers standing back up.
Dan Heng continuing to brutally beat them.
Zeig continuing to heal.
And so on, repeatedly.
The people watching below were getting sleepy.
Dan Heng only used fists and feet, Zeig was slacking off, and on the entire ring, the ones taking it most seriously were actually the two automaton soldiers.
The standoff continued.
Until.
A pink-haired girl angrily stood in the center of the ring.
Seeing her, Zeig immediately exclaimed in shock:
"Holy crap, Cold Pink Dragon!"
…
A few minutes later.
Cold Black Dragon and Cold Azure Dragon were both beaten up by the pink-haired girl and kicked off the ring.
"Have you two had enough fun or what? Are you really going to make this a perpetual motion machine? Playing with two automaton soldiers like this—you're not afraid they'll explode or something?"
March 7th scolded the two lunatics who had lingered on the ring for so long, like a parent.
"Especially you, Dan Heng!" March 7th complained:
"Did you catch his mental illness or something? You really know how to drag things out. Do you know how long I watched from below? Hook already went home for dinner!"
Dan Heng silently: "..."
Zeig raised his hand and said seriously:
"I'm not sick."
"Get lost."
"..."
