In the next moment, with a flash of fire, a tremendous roar echoed through the dust. Before anyone could react, a figure was sent flying off the stage, crashing onto the floor nearby.
It was Mu Shan Ye!
Several members of the Coyote Squad rushed forward to help him up, while a person who appeared to be a doctor approached.
"Cough, cough!" Mu Shan Ye coughed, his clothes torn and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. "I'm fine."
The doctor examined him and nodded in acknowledgment.
"However, I refuse to accept this match!" Mu Shan Ye exclaimed angrily.
As the dust on the stage settled, everyone could see that Chen Jin was carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
Realization dawned upon the crowd; the earlier flash and loud noise must have been from the rocket launcher. But how had he pulled such a massive weapon out of nowhere on the Arena? Did he possess a spatial ability? Since the apocalypse began, the officials had never confirmed the existence of dual ability users, so it was more likely that he had some kind of spatial storage.
"Did the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps lend a Space Reward to the contestant in advance? How can there be any fairness in a match where they act as both referee and athlete?" a young man beside Mu Shan Ye shouted.
"If you don't accept it, you can pay five Crystal Cores to fight again!" Chen Jin said with a flick of his wrist, causing the rocket launcher to vanish and replacing it with an M16 automatic rifle.
Mu Shan Ye spat in frustration. He was now drained of ability and injured; going back into battle would be tantamount to seeking death, especially when his opponent had an arsenal of Hot Weapons.
"What about that space from which items can be freely accessed?" "The Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps wouldn't really allow contestants to cheat by providing them with space beforehand, would they?" "Using Hot Weapons at the last moment is indeed unfair."
As whispers began to circulate among the crowd below, Hu Yan Zan slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
He stepped forward, his towering figure exuding an intimidating presence. "The Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps would never cheat for contestants! Moreover, the Spatial Jade Pendant is my prize; I won't allow it to be given to anyone else." After a pause, he added, "Since the apocalypse began, many extraordinary items have appeared; it's not surprising if others possess space abilities too."
His statement served as both a firm declaration and an explanation of the situation, prompting nods of agreement from those listening.
Mu Shan Ye saw Hu Yan Zan step forward but dared not say anything further, being supported by his teammates as he left the stage.
The host took the stage. "In the first round of the Road User Challenge, Chen Jin secured the third seat. In the next round, he will be protected and cannot be challenged. Those who wish to challenge other contestants, please come to the stage."
A few challengers appeared afterward, but after witnessing the fierce battle just now, everyone had a more accurate assessment of the strength of the top ten on stage. The challengers chose to target those ranked lower.
After a series of battles, the tenth seat was defeated by a challenger, while the other positions maintained their standings.
Watching from the sidelines, Chang Qing felt his horizons broadened. The abilities in this world were indeed bizarre and varied; there were those who could transform into swamps and others who could turn their bodies into weapons. Moreover, it seemed that combat styles could be developed according to personal preference. Sometimes, even with the same ability, the fighting methods could be completely different.
"Congratulations to Li Jun for defending the seventh seat! In the next round, he will be protected and cannot be challenged. Are there any challengers?"
As the host's voice rang out again, Chang Qing stepped forward.
Bai Bing's expression changed slightly. Li Jun, who had just defended his position, was quite excited. " brother Qing, you're finally going to make your move!" His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear both on and off the stage.
"It seems this person is from the same team as the seventh seat..." "He appears to be the team leader; this should be interesting." "I wonder who he will challenge; could it be one of the top three?"
Li Jun's words sparked a flurry of speculation among the audience.
"Yang Changqing," the young man stated as he stepped onto the stage.
"May I ask which team you are from, Mr. Yang?" The host seemed eager; today's battles had been thrilling, and this young man appeared to be a leader, likely to challenge one of the top three.
"Team? nameless," Chang Qing replied after a moment's thought. They were just a small group of friends—five or six people—and couldn't really be called a team. His collaboration with Bai Bing was merely temporary and did not constitute a true organization.
"Alright, this contestant from Team nameless, Mr. Yang, which seat would you like to challenge?"
"First Seat." As Chang Qing's voice rang out, the audience erupted in a flurry of whispers.
Those who had been watching the competition knew that Hu Yan Zan had never been defeated since the beginning of the matches. Even the formidable Bai Bing, who held the Second Seat, and Chen Jin, the Third Seat, had fallen at his hands. His strength was evident to all. Moreover, everyone understood how convenient the Spatial Jade Pendant was in this post-apocalyptic world. They tacitly believed that the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps was merely using the Spatial Jade Pendant as a lure to attract participants; surely, the first place would be claimed by one of their own elite mercenaries, and they wouldn't allow anyone else to take it.
"The First Seat goes to Hu Yan Zan from the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps!"
As the announcer called out, Hu Yan Zan stood up, deliberately making heavy footsteps that echoed on the stone Arena.
However, this attempt to intimidate did not affect Chang Qing at all; he stood there calmly as if he were simply enjoying a view.
At that moment, everyone in the arena focused on the two men in the center.
Li Jun felt relieved now that Chang Qing had finally taken the stage. He leaned back in his seat and casually pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds to munch on.
Bai Bing let out a sigh of relief when she saw Chang Qing choose the First Seat. Yet she couldn't help but scorn herself for feeling this way; she had set defeating him as her training goal, yet felt at ease when he chose someone else as his opponent.
Chen Jin glanced at Bai Bing beside him and noticed her tense expression, a stark contrast to her earlier relaxed demeanor. He mistakenly thought she was worried about Yang Changqing, which only fueled his jealousy towards Chang Qing. For some reason, he felt an odd sense of familiarity upon seeing Bai Bing for the first time, but she showed him no kindness at all and had ruthlessly defeated him in the Arena. It was infuriating!
At that moment, Chen Jin silently prayed for Hu Yan Zan to perform well, hoping he would humiliate Chang Qing thoroughly.
The crowd below watched as Hu Yan Zan stepped forward, unable to suppress their nervousness.
