Chapter 528: Chapter 251: Consequences
"Congratulations to Horned Ox Man for winning the competition! Hee hee hee!"
"Horned Ox Man, well done!"
Left Green and Hei Ao also joined the commotion.
"Go away, I absolutely refuse to accept that nickname!"
"Whether you accept it or not, that’s not up to you, hee hee!"
Both of them were stifling laughter while Fang Yu was utterly dejected.
Fortunately, as long as I take off the mask, nobody would recognize me, otherwise it would be an utter embarrassment and go down in infamy.
Compared to Left Green’s understatement, Fang Yu’s high-profile battle had attracted a lot of attention.
Many people around were looking at Fang Yu, whispering to each other.
"You’ve caught the attention of some people," said Left Green.
Just like Fang Yu, they also collected information on powerful martial artists.
Fang Yu’s impressive performance in this round of the competition had garnered the attention of other competitors.
"What’s the big deal, a strong person should be in the spotlight!" Hei Ao had his own logic in handling things.
Fang Yu also felt that confrontation was inevitable and didn’t care too much about these things.
Regardless, Fang Yu had successfully clinched the victory.
Among the trio, only Hei Ao’s outcome was still pending.
Thud!
With the drumbeat signaling the next round of the competition, Hei Ao anxiously looked at his card.
Sadly, he didn’t get picked.
He looked really disappointed.
After seeing Fang Yu and Left Green’s results, he was dying to get into the arena and show his power.
Luckily, his opportunity came quickly.
After this round of competition, Hei Ao’s card finally turned green.
"I got it! I got picked!!"
Hei Ao shouted excitedly to them both, overly thrilled like a candidate who had just passed the imperial examination, attracting everyone’s gaze around him.
Look at how anxious the kid was.
Fang Yu and Left Green stayed calm.
"Go for it," encouraged Left Green.
"Go," Fang Yu pointed at the arena.
"Watch me!"
Hei Ao leapt onto the stage.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
Others also hopped onto the stage.
But compared to the low-key standing positions of others, Hei Ao was much more arrogant.
He waved dismissively at the people around.
"How come all my opponents are such trash."
This remark directly garnered cold stares from several people.
Thud!!
The moment the drum sounded, they all attacked Hei Ao but ended up being schooled by his counterattacks.
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Finally, it’s my turn to fight!!"
Like a rampaging Demon King, Hei Ao covered his palms with a layer of dark substance, slapping anyone he met, charging into the crowd as if unopposed.
Such arrogance immediately provoked a group attack.
But far from being afraid, Hei Ao was actually delighted.
He wanted to take on a hundred people!!
He was not afraid of being ganged up on, charging in for a wild battle.
Occasionally getting hit, staggering, surrounded and ferociously beaten, he only grew more eager to fight.
"Didn’t you have breakfast? Put some strength into it! You think with this few people you can take me down, you’re... too naive!!"
Boom!
With some dark patterns covering his body, Hei Ao’s power surged, blasting everyone away and starting to chase down his opponents.
For a time, the arena was in chaos, a spectacle of excitement.
Once using the Hei Family’s signature skills, the others in the arena seemed less challenging.
From Fang Yu’s perspective, Hei Ao was like someone who had activated cheat codes, swiftly defeating one opponent after another, and soon the stage was nearly cleared.
This was different from Fang Yu’s earlier match.
Fang Yu’s round was when others fought among themselves and Fang Yu cleared the field in the end.
But here, it was truly Hei Ao alone who actively cleared the field, with more than half of the participants beaten by him.
"Is he too excited?" Fang Yu asked.
Left Green shrugged: "Let him make a fuss, otherwise he’d be suffocated by the restraint."
At that point, Hei Ao on the stage had thrown down his last opponent and, like a wild gorilla, pounded his chest and shouted towards Fang Yu and Left Green.
"See that! This is my power now!!"
Thud!
With the drumbeat, Hei Ao’s victory was announced.
"We got it, we got it, come down now."
Hei Ao jumped down from the stage, hoping to be lavished with praise.
Unfortunately, only Fang Yu congratulated him briefly, Left Green couldn’t even be bothered.
Then, several more matches took place.
But since the three of them had already advanced, it wasn’t as interesting for them.
Apart from occasionally commenting on the slightly more impressive fighters that appeared, there was nothing else.
When the drums sounded three times in a row, Left Green suddenly said.
"Finally over, next comes the single combat on the arena."
What?
Fang Yu was taken aback.
That’s it?
What about Eastern Gate Orchid and Soul Stealing Hammer He Bashan and so on, none of them had appeared!
And those Thousand Blood Warriors seen browsing the stalls earlier hadn’t shown up either.
What’s going on?
"What’s up?" Left Green asked, looking curiously at the somewhat dazed Fang Yu.
Fang Yu promptly voiced his confusion.
"It’s quite normal," Left Green said as a matter of course.
"Some people simply won’t participate in the second arena. If we weren’t just looking for some excitement, we wouldn’t join the second arena either."
Left Green explained with a smile, "First, the rewards for the second arena are pretty mundane, and we’re not very interested. Second, it would waste energy and reveal some of our abilities, putting us at a disadvantage in the third arena."
"You guys still..."
"We’re just having fun, it doesn’t matter."
Fang Yu had an epiphany.
This is the so-called confidence of the strong.
They both believed they could easily take the prize from the third arena, so they felt revealing some strength in the second arena didn’t matter.
"Don’t worry, we won’t use our true abilities in the second arena. If you want the championship, we’ll let you have it." Hei Ao spoke up at this moment.
