When Long Chen and the others returned to the arena, they were startled. The arena was originally on an island, and at its core was a huge arena, surrounded by the viewing platform.
But after arriving today, Long Chen discovered that above the void around the island, a larger viewing platform had actually been set up.
The viewing platform was ring-shaped, floating above the void and surrounding the entire island. The massive platform was packed with a dense crowd.
"Wow, it's truly spectacular." A powerful figure from the War God Hall exclaimed in amazement; the scene was truly spectacular.
"This is the first time I've seen so many people." Bai Xiaole looked at the dense crowd on the outer viewing platform, also stunned.
Originally, the inner battle platform could accommodate over ninety million participating disciples, and the outer viewing platform was dozens of times larger than the inner arena.
Qin Feng glanced at the crowd around him, shook his head, and said, "My boss has killed more people than you've ever seen." "
Bai Xiaole was very curious about Qin Feng and kept pestering him to inquire about the Dragon Blood Legion. Soon, the two became much closer. Bai Xiaole also called Long Chen 'boss.' Qin Feng believed Bai Xiaole would eventually be a member of the Dragon Blood Legion, so he was quite enthusiastic toward him.
Bai Xiaole was startled by Qin Feng's words. Not only was Bai Xiaole shocked, but Bai Shishi, Luo Bing, and the others also stared at Qin Feng in shock, unable to believe what he was saying.
However, after Qin Feng finished speaking, he had no intention of continuing. No matter how much Bai Xiaole tried to ask, he stopped talking, which made Bai Xiaole feel a bit restless.
At first, everyone was fairly familiar with Long Chen, but after Qin Feng appeared, they realized they knew nothing about his past. His experiences piqued everyone's curiosity.
Unfortunately, Long Chen never mentioned his past, and Qin Feng didn't want to reveal it either. But sometimes, a casual remark could make one's heart itch.
Looking at Long Chen's back—thin and stubborn, yet seemingly capable of carrying the entire world and overturning the cosmos—Qin Feng's arrival cast a mysterious veil over Long Chen, making him even harder to understand.
Upon entering the viewing platform, they found that it was different from yesterday. Inside the platform, a special area had appeared—that was the waiting platform.
The waiting platform was specially prepared for today's participants, while those eliminated could only watch from the viewing platform.
Long Chen and the others arrived at the waiting platform, where a formation blocked the way. When Long Chen entered, the nameplate at his waist trembled as he completed identity verification.
Compared to the crowded and noisy viewing platform, the waiting area was very spacious and comfortable, with beautiful maids serving tea and water to everyone, along with exquisite pastries to taste. Compared to outside, it was worlds apart.
Sitting comfortably on the soft chair, a maid immediately came over. She first bowed before speaking:
"In half an hour, the martial arts tournament will begin. Let me help you relax your meridians."
It turned out this was a benefit provided by the martial arts tournament for the participants. These women were all wood-element experts, and the power of wood could help relax everyone's meridians, achieving deep relaxation.
Moreover, these women were specially trained, with exquisite techniques that allowed people to completely relax their minds and achieve optimal combat condition.
"No need, thank you. Just get me something to eat." Long Chen shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Afraid it would feel too good, would you react? Lu Mingxuan sat right next to Long Chen, with a maid behind her massaging her shoulders. Mist rose as she helped relax her meridians, but she looked at Long Chen with ill intent.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to respond to her. As long as he responded, no matter how he answered, he was bound to fall into a trap. He was definitely not that silly girl like Bai Shishi.
Having learned from past mistakes, Bai Shishi didn't bother to look at Lu Mingxuan. After being tricked once, Bai Shishi remembered and kept her distance.
The others had long known how formidable Lu Mingxuan was, so they didn't dare to intervene. Lu Mingxuan just chuckled, not angry, and just closed his eyes to relax.
"Long Chen, you should relax too. It really is beneficial." Seeing that Long Chen really wouldn't do it, Bai Shishi couldn't help but remind him that relaxing the meridians would give tight nerves a chance to rest, making the reaction speed faster during battle.
"No need, you can do it. Qin Feng, you have to do it too. Here, you need to do it the most."
Seeing Long Chen refuse, Qin Feng wanted to refuse, but after Long Chen's reminder, he still relaxed along with the others.
Long Chen knew the benefits of relaxation, but he didn't like others having their power enter his meridians. Although he knew they wouldn't harm him, he still lacked a sense of security.
Before long, Luo Ning, Luo Bing, and the others fell asleep one after another. The techniques of these wood-element maids were truly exquisite and would deeply help people relax.
After a while, everyone slowly woke up, each one full of energy and energy. Just as they woke up, the elder from Huayun Trading Company appeared again on the arena.
His way of speaking was as concise and clear as yesterday: first, he congratulated everyone on passing the preliminaries, then said that due to lack of hosting experience, there were many shortcomings and he hoped for everyone's understanding.
He then got straight to the point, spun the roller, and continued drawing lots. Soon, the battle list was out.
However, this time, unlike yesterday, they were not sent in collectively, but entered the arena in batches.
On the massive arena, countless blocks appeared, each serving as a small arena.
This time was different from the last. The previous arena duel was held in an invisible arena, where no one could see the opponent's moves, but this time, everything was made public.
Each person's nameplate was a very precious magical artifact. On the back of the plaque, small squares appeared that matched the squares on the arena. As long as they held onto those squares, the corresponding arena would appear magnified before their eyes, allowing them to see everything on the platform clearly.
This way, you can see exactly where the battle takes place, without being obscured by distance.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Suddenly, the grid on the arena lit up rapidly, and many people teleported in, but Long Chen and the others couldn't keep up with this wave.
It turned out that the arena's capacity was limited, so the matches had to be held in batches. They arrived in order, and Long Chen and the others had to queue up to enter.
Just as Long Chen and the others were about to watch the others fight, the jade token at Qin Feng's waist suddenly lit up rapidly.
"So soon?"
Everyone was stunned. This meant someone had finished the match, and Qin Feng was next. The jade token lit up, signaling him to get ready.
"What is your number?" Long Chen asked.
"Five hundred seventy-three"
"Buzz"
As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, he disappeared, and Long Chen and the others turned their gaze directly to Arena 573.
"Not good, that's the number two strongest of Jiuhua Sect." Bai Shishi's expression changed slightly when she saw Qin Feng's opponent.
