Long Chen slayed Hu Yifei, shocking the entire audience. What shocked them wasn't just that Long Chen could kill Hu Yifei, but how effortlessly he did so was like slaughtering a chicken.
Although Hu Yifei is not the top-tier powerhouse in Demon Subduing City, he is still a well-known figure among the young generation of prodigies.
Yet in front of Long Chen, he had no room to resist at all. Even his strongest strike was shattered by Long Chen's casual grip, which showed the huge gap between the two.
Now, after Long Chen killed Hu Yifei, he turned his attention to Cao Shaoqing of the Ironblood Sect. He was the direct grandson of the Ironblood Sect master, not only of great status but also of unfathomable strength. Long Chen had actually challenged him directly.
"Oh my god, he's going to challenge Cao Shaoqing. Who exactly is this person?" At this moment, people realized that this black-robed youth must have a powerful background, and was very likely deliberately targeting the Iron Blood Sect.
"If only Cao Shaoqing could face the challenge, then our tickets would be worth it." Someone shouted excitedly.
One ticket to watch two matches was already a huge win. If Cao Shaoqing faced them, according to the arena rules, they could continue watching without buying new tickets. This was a huge win.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen waved his hand, and his nameplate flew into the air. However, he didn't know how to activate the battle procedure; the nameplate was just floating in midair, showing no abnormalities.
But it didn't matter. Long Chen looked coldly at Cao Shaoqing. As long as Cao Shaoqing faced the challenge, he would naturally activate the nameplate.
For a moment, everyone turned to look at Cao Shaoqing. On the Lu family's side, Lu Ziqiong's expression changed dramatically. She hurriedly said to Mo Nian, "
Stop him quickly! That Cao Shaoqing possesses the blood of the Primordial Demon Crocodile and has already mastered the Blood Transformation Divine Technique."
Mo Nian waved her hand and said, "You gave him time to worry, Maybe it's better to worry about that guy named Cao Shaoqing. "
What?"
Lu Ziqiong and the others all opened their mouths wide. Although Lu Ziqiong's perception told her that Long Chen and Mo Nian were extremely terrifying, she only thought the two were only slightly stronger than her.
The reason for inviting the two was also to make friends with contemporary heroes. Lu Ziqiong had always lived in Demon-Subduing City and had never seen the outside world. Long Chen and Mo Nian clearly came from the outside world, so they wanted to learn about the outside world through personal experience, and also to discuss immortality and the Dao through mutual exchange.
But she hadn't expected to misjudge Long Chen—he was far stronger than her, and with a wave of his hand, he had killed Hu Yifei.
And when Long Chen challenged Cao Shaoqing, that monster, Mo Nian still spoke in the same tone as before, making them worry more for Cao Shaoqing. How could they possibly have such confidence in him?
"I'll grant you your wish."
Just then, Cao Shaoqing's voice rang out, and as soon as he spoke, the whole room erupted in an uproar.
What shocked them was Cao Shaoqing's voice. His voice was like scraping iron—hoarse and unpleasant, but so loud it seemed to burst from a jaw-dropping mouth, making the entire arena feel like his mouth.
"Buzz!"
Cao Shaoqing waved his hand, golden light flew through the air, and a golden nameplate flew out.
"Oh my god, it's a ten-pattern gold medal." Some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized that the golden nameplate had ten gold patterns.
Previously, Mo Nian, Hu Yifei, and Lu Ziqiong had all displayed their golden demon-subduing plaques. Each of their plaques bore a golden pattern, but Cao Shaoqing's nameplate actually had ten markings.
"He has killed ten Heavenly Saint-level demons. Oh my god, this is simply a monster."
"No wonder he's the top prodigy of the Iron Blood Sect. Just this nameplate alone can scare people to death."
"That guy in black is finished."
"Boom Head!"
Just as people were discussing, the two nameplates pressed together. Then, the void trembled, and from between them, two beams of divine light shot out, enveloping Long Chen and Cao Shaoqing respectively.
"What's going on?"
Mo Nian was stunned by this scene. Previously, Hu Yifei and Long Chen's nameplates were pressed together, but there was never such a scene.
Lu Ziqiong explained, "The level of the nameplates between the two is too great. The Nebula Array needs to assess their strength."
If the assessment results show that the strength gap between the two is too great, then the duel will not be recognized by the Nebula Formation, and they won't be given a stage to compete. "
Wow, that's quite user-friendly. By the way, let me ask, how accurate can this array's evaluation be?" Mo Nian asked.
Lu Ziqiong said, "I'm not entirely sure. I've heard that the evaluation of this formation is extremely precise, and it determines the levels of the arena based on the different strengths of the duelists."
The arena's power was exactly the limit for both of them, so their destructive force was within the arena's endurance, and it was very rare for them to damage the arena. "
Then can he glimpse the hidden power of others?" Mo Nian asked.
Lu Ziqiong and the others looked confused. Clearly, they didn't know much about the Nebula Arena. In their memory, it was almost never mistaken.
Lu Ziqiong explained, "The Nebula Arena is set up based on the sum of the combined strengths of two people. For example, when I fight Hu Yifei, the arena calculates the combined strength of both of us to produce the most suitable arena."
However, when Hu Yifei challenged Long Chen earlier, because Long Chen's nameplate was too weak, the Nebula Arena did not change the arena.
But Cao Shaoqing's nameplate is too strong, so the Nebula Arena needs to be recalculated to avoid loopholes. Whether it can peek at others' hidden strength is unclear, but in front of it, we can't hide it. "
Boom!"
At that moment, the void trembled, and then an old, emotionless voice rang out:
"Three hours after the decisive battle, Arena No. 21 will begin."
"It's Number 21."
Hearing that voice, the powerful figures present instantly erupted in excitement.
"Lu Ziqiong and Hu Yifei's fight is only number thirty-seven, but their arena is actually number twenty-one."
"The higher the number, the stronger the arena, proving the fighter's strength. Oh my god, just how strong are these two?"
"This arena is calculated by combining the combined strength of two people. Do you think it's possible that Cao Shaoqing is just too powerful?"
"Do you think Cao Shaoqing killed that guy in black just like he killed Hu Yifei?"
For a moment, countless people were buzzing with discussion, while Long Chen frowned. He had thought the battle would start soon, but unexpectedly, they had to change locations—and wait three hours.
"Whoosh"
Suddenly, Long Chen's body was teleported out of the arena. The Nebula Arena vanished in an instant, and as the arena vanished, countless people shouted:
"We're doomed, we have to buy tickets again!"
In an instant, all the spectators vanished. They went back to grab tickets, but the news released by Nebula Arena would be known throughout the city. This time, their chances of getting tickets were extremely slim.
"Thank you,"
Lu Ziqiong approached Long Chen and bowed deeply, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Whoosh."
Just as Long Chen was about to be a bit polite, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and a figure appeared. As soon as that figure appeared, Lu Ziqiong and the other Lu family disciples hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master."
