A profound silence enveloped the scene.
Except for those like Su Ye and Lucifer who sensed something amiss, the faces of the other Clan members were filled with disbelief, especially Tastandin and others, whose eyes revealed their shock.
What was happening? Just moments ago, the Human Slave had been firmly suppressed, and now he had turned the tables?
The most astonishing part was the boy's marksmanship—simple yet brutally effective, yet undeniably skillful!
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze toward Lion's Eye.
There stood Acheron, pinching his brow in displeasure, but he managed to maintain his composure. In contrast, Lion's Eye's dark golden slit pupils trembled slightly, a mix of disbelief and irritation evident in his expression.
"What are you still standing there for? Get up!" Lion's Eye shouted at the Gladiatorial Arena.
Han Yun was currently pointing his spear at Hackman, thus facing away from Hans. Although this ambush was quite treacherous, it was Hans's last chance.
However, at this point, all the major Clans understood that after experiencing the storm of gunfire moments ago, Hans—a boy just over ten years old—would find it impossible to muster any courage. Moreover, even if he attempted an ambush, success was not guaranteed.
The expressions of the various Clans grew peculiar. Lion's Eye was not concerned about the outcome of the match but rather about face. In other words, this nameless nobody beside Su Ye had actually achieved victory!
"You've lost." At that moment, Garen slowly stood up.
Since a winner had been determined in the contest, there was no reason to linger any longer. Garen intended to meet with Niguzate; given their previous invitation, they would surely accommodate Garen within reasonable limits—such as granting Han Yun his freedom.
Although Garen had not formally agreed, freeing a slave was not too troublesome. Someone as shrewd as Somaroth would undoubtedly nod in agreement without hesitation.
Under the gaze of dozens of strange eyes, Garen made his way toward the Gladiatorial Arena.
But just then, Garen's expression suddenly darkened. Blood Power rapidly enveloped his entire body, and he turned around to throw a punch!
At the other end of the stands, Lion's Eye suddenly surged forward, exuding a fierce and powerful momentum that closed in instantly!
"Bang!" The two fists collided!
Garen's body shook slightly before he was sent flying backward, crashing into the stone wall at the edge of the Gladiatorial Arena with a tremendous roar!
The stands erupted in an uproar! No one expected Lion's Eye to actually strike at Garen!
After all, Lion's Eye possessed terrifying power at the Third Tier, while Garen was merely at the same level. Was Lion's Eye really ready to escalate things?
Su Ye's gaze turned icy as he turned his head, only to see Acheron shrugging helplessly.
"Useless." Lion's Eye crossed his arms, staring at the dust-filled stone wall. But in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.
A gasp echoed through the stands!
From the ruins of the stone wall, Garen slowly emerged, his black hair and shirt covered in dust, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
He was still alive!
The crowd in the stands widened their eyes in disbelief. After taking a punch from a Third Tier warrior, this man was able to stand and walk out?!
Lion's Eye's expression was grim. Although it was Garen who had been knocked away, there was still a significant gap of First Level between the two sides! Watching the figure emerge from the dust, Lion's Eye felt his cheeks flush with heat, and a chilling killing intent erupted from him.
However, just as Lion's Eye charged forward, Lucifer appeared at his side, blocking his path with Anger of the Angel.
"Get out of my way!" Lion's Eye was blinded by rage and swung a punch at Lucifer!
Seeing this scene unfold, the various Clans in the stands were thrown into a panic. It was important to note that both Lion's Eye and Lucifer were genuine Third Tier powerhouses; if these two fought, even the shockwaves would be deadly!
"Smack!" "Smack!"
Two light sounds echoed.
Suddenly, Niguzate appeared, grasping both of their fists.
At that moment, a hoarse voice rang out.
"Enough!"
In the front row of the stands, Somaroth slowly stood up, his narrowed eyes revealing anger. "Do you want to kill each other here?!"
As expected of the leader of the entire blood clan, the various Clans in the stands fell silent instantly, and even Lucifer and Lion's Eye immediately withdrew their attacks.
Within the territory of the blood clan, no one dared to challenge Somaroth's authority. If Lion's Eye had killed Garen just now, it might not have mattered much; after all, one couldn't sacrifice another Third Tier powerhouse for something that had already happened. But now that Somaroth had spoken, everything was different.
"Lion's Eye, apologize to Sir Garen immediately," Acheron finally spoke up.
Lion's Eye's expression darkened further. After today's events, not only would he lose face among the blood clan, but he would also become the laughingstock of many. This was absolutely intolerable for Lion's Eye!
“Lord Somaroth! I still cannot acknowledge this warrior's strength!” Lion's Eye suddenly spoke up, his voice ringing out amidst the puzzled gazes. “I propose we use the Pain Crystal, and I will challenge him to a duel!”
More strange looks were exchanged. Although everyone disapproved of Garen, it was primarily due to the peculiar nature of the Solomon Clan. In essence, they were all part of the blood clan; despite years of open and covert rivalry, their overall strength had never diminished. Targeting a fellow clansman like this… seemed rather inappropriate, didn’t it?
Acheron frowned. “Stop this nonsense. Let’s put an end to it here!”
“Lord Somaroth! This is my personal decision; it has nothing to do with the Lost Land quota or the Reimer Clan!” Lion's Eye remained undeterred, stating earnestly, “I may have lost this match, but I still have doubts about Sir Garen’s individual strength!”
At this point, everyone began to understand. The Reimer Clan, ranked second among the clans, held a very high status within the blood clan. Yet here was Lion's Eye, a powerful member of the Reimer Clan, being overshadowed by an unknown rookie. It seemed he had to vent his frustration.
Niguzate returned to Somaroth's side. From a personal standpoint, Niguzate actually leaned towards Garen; it wasn't that Garen had made a particularly good impression on him, but rather that Lion's Eye's actions over the years had been truly detestable.
Just as Niguzate was about to voice his opposition, he noticed Somaroth deep in thought.
As Somaroth’s trusted attendant, Niguzate quickly grasped his intentions.
Clearly, the lord wanted to seize this opportunity to truly test Garen’s strength.
After about two minutes of silence, Somaroth slowly concluded his contemplation.
Niguzate smiled helplessly.
This was Garen's first time personally experiencing the power of the Third Tier. Although Lion's Eye had not used his full strength in that punch, Garen could still feel it—the endless, overwhelming force that surged through him like the roar of the ocean, instantly spreading throughout his entire body!
In the face of this power, his Blood Power was nearly shattered. If it weren't for his exceptional physique, Garen truly doubted he would be able to stand again.
Under Niguzate's directive, several Healers rushed over and quickly began to heal Garen's injuries.
During this time, he overheard their conversation.
It struck Garen as somewhat ridiculous. Han Yun's match had already concluded, and the spot at Dead Man's Gorge was secured. So why should he continue to get involved? Just because this person called Lion's Eye was unwilling to accept defeat?
Why couldn't Garen refuse?
Indeed, Garen had no intention of agreeing.
After the Healers left, Somaroth turned his gaze toward him.
"Sir Garen, would you be willing to take on a challenge using the Pain Crystal and compete against Lion's Eye?" Somaroth said with a gentlemanly smile.
Garen was about to refuse but fell silent instead.
Somaroth added, "If you win, I will grant you Han Yun's freedom."
