Chapter 1 A Bold Move

As Duan Hanshan's words fell, the entire arena was stunned. No one had expected Duan Hanshan to make such a move.

"Ruthless! Too ruthless! I'm afraid that Miao Wuyin won't be able to save face this time."

"Who told Miao Wuyin to brag to high heaven? Otherwise, how would the Ice Devil have a chance?"

"I just wonder if Miao Wuyin dares to go through with it. She spoke so confidently before, but now I'm afraid Zero Wing is in a panic."

The various family members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but smile as they looked at Miao Wuyin.

They acknowledged Miao Wuyin's strength, but such excessive boasting was annoying, especially to the younger generation of experts from the various families. They had initially harbored some goodwill towards Miao Wuyin, but now they were more interested in seeing her make a fool of herself.

The audience was also lively, everyone watching to see what choice Miao Wuyin would make.

"This is interesting. That Zero Wing Guild should be the guild that came over in the airship earlier. I wonder how strong Zero Wing really is. If it's as powerful as Miao Wuyin said, then a battle between the two sides would be worth looking forward to."

"That was just boasting, right? Now it's difficult to back down."

"Not necessarily. Who is Zui Yan? He's a legendary figure in the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Just the fact that he's willing to fight a newcomer from his own side is already a great honor. To have him fight an outsider as well, I don't think Zui Yan would be willing."

At this point, the various forces in the audience couldn't help but look at Zui Yan on the arena with some concern.

Zui Yan's name was very well-known in the virtual game world, but he rarely fought players. Even when he did, it was usually against monster-like experts. The fact that Zui Yan had taken the initiative to fight Miao Wuyin was already a rare occurrence. To ask Zui Yan to fight an unknown outsider would probably be difficult.

However, just as everyone thought Zui Yan would refuse, Zui Yan suddenly looked at Miao Wuyin.

"Are you serious?" Zui Yan asked Miao Wuyin very earnestly.

As Zui Yan questioned Miao Wuyin, everyone couldn't help but look at her, because this could be said to be Miao Wuyin's last chance. If she said it was a joke at this time, she could avoid the subsequent embarrassment. If she stubbornly persisted, the final result would definitely be a loss of credibility.

"Yes, I am serious, if Elder Zui Yan doesn't mind." Miao Wuyin nodded.

After Miao Wuyin finished speaking, everyone shook their heads.

This was the last chance Zui Yan had given Miao Wuyin, but she didn't seem to appreciate it, planning to protect her own face or the guild's face to the bitter end.

"Hahaha, Xiaoqian, this Miao Wuyin is really crazy. Does she really think that Zero Wing is a god? That just any newcomer can fight Elder Zui Yan!" The Tier 3 female assassin laughed.

On the other arena, Yuan Xiaoqian remained silent, not responding to the Tier 3 female assassin's sneer.

Because she knew very well that there was indeed a monster in Zero Wing who could fight Elder Zui Yan.

That was the Guild Leader of Zero Wing, Hei Yan. He was a figure even the Light Emissary Adolf of the Divine Seal Tribe treated with caution. If Hei Yan wanted to protect Zero Wing's face, he might not hesitate to come down and fight.

However, just as everyone was surprised by Miao Wuyin's decisive answer, Zui Yan's eyes lit up and he turned his gaze to the audience where Zero Wing Guild was located.

"I wonder which one of you from Zero Wing is willing to come up and replace Wuyin in this fight?"

Zui Yan's voice was not loud, but the determination and power in his words made it clear to everyone that he was serious, even with a hint of anticipation.

"No way! Is he really going to fight?"

"This is really interesting! I wonder who Zero Wing will send out?"

"I heard that the Guild Leader of Zero Wing is very powerful, and not very old. He's also one of the top thirty experts on the Wind and Cloud Rankings. If these two could fight, that would be awesome!"

The people in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It could be said that they were filled with anticipation for this unexpected duel.

The top thirty experts on the Wind and Cloud Expert Rankings were figures to be admired. They were rarely seen, and it was a luxury to even witness a duel between the top thirty experts. Because God's Domain was too vast, unless there were special circumstances, it was very difficult for even the top thirty experts on the rankings to meet, let alone have a one-on-one battle.

At this time, not only the various forces in the audience were curious about who Zero Wing would send out to fight, but also Duan Hanshan, not far from the arena, was somewhat curious about who Zero Wing would send out.

In his opinion, the only one Zero Wing could put forward was Hei Yan, who had appeared at the last Alchemy Competition.

At that time, his identity as a Tier 3 Sword King had shocked the audience, and even Pang Xianglong of the Pang family had to back down. Being able to advance to Tier 3 so early was naturally extraordinary.

Judging from his appearance, Hei Yan should not be much older than Miao Wuyin. However, as the leader of a guild, Hei Yan would not easily make a move, but he might do so for the sake of the guild's face. After all, the only one in Zero Wing who could fight Zui Yan was Hei Yan.

Just as the Duan and Pang families were curious about whether Hei Yan would come out, Shi Feng, who was sitting in the audience, glanced at the beautiful figure beside him.

"Ziyan, go and fight him."

"Yes!"

With a simple exchange, the woman beside Shi Feng jumped from the audience to the bottom of the battle arena, and a priest's unique sacred aura emanated from her body.

"Is Zero Wing looking down on Zui Yan? They're actually sending a priest to fight?"

Everyone looked at Ziyan Liuyun, who was walking onto the arena, with their mouths wide open, completely unable to believe that Zero Wing would do this.

At this time, not to mention the people in the audience, even the members of the various families of the Azure Chamber of Commerce were dumbfounded.

They were completely crazy!

It wasn't that priests couldn't fight, but to actually send a priest, a class not known for combat, to face the Azure Chamber of Commerce's recognized strongest expert was simply a provocation to Zui Yan.

Although Ziyan Liuyun was wearing a black cloak to hide her stats, it did not cover her appearance, so everyone could see very clearly that Ziyan Liuyun was definitely younger than Miao Wuyin, a true blossoming maiden.

Letting such a young girl, and a healing class at that, fight Zui Yan was simply an insult to him.

"Zero Wing is doomed this time. Even if it's to make Miao Wuyin's boasting seem more real, there's no need to send out such a young girl. Elder Zui Yan must be angry now, and that girl won't have an easy time." The Tier 3 female assassin couldn't help but cover her face, not daring to watch the upcoming battle.

Elder Zui Yan had always been serious about fighting, and even acted like a madman in order to improve himself.

Now that Zero Wing was playing with Zui Yan like this, one could imagine how angry Elder Zui Yan would be. The subsequent battle would definitely be a severe lesson for Ziyan Liuyun, completely humiliating Zero Wing and Miao Wuyin.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire venue was unusually heavy, especially as the pressure that Zui Yan had been hiding so well completely erupted, like a surging tsunami that seemed capable of swallowing everything, causing Gu Han below the arena to feel a sense of suffocation.

"Is this the strongest expert in our Azure Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Han looked at Zui Yan, who was seething with killing intent, with a solemn expression.

Previously, he felt that he had a chance to fight Zui Yan, after all, it was a pure skill-based battle, without any attribute suppression. Now it seemed that he was simply overthinking it. Not to mention a fight, it would be good enough if he could withstand a few moves.

While Zui Yan's power was erupting, Ziyan Liuyun on the first arena slowly walked to the center of the arena, calmly looking at Zui Yan, who was exuding boundless power.

"Can we start now?" Ziyan Liuyun asked Zui Yan calmly.
