The "Beast Arena," which had been bustling with noise just a second ago, suddenly fell frighteningly silent.
Su Xiao stood at the center of the black-sand arena. On the surrounding ring of stone walls stood the ten rookies in various poses. Some sneered, while others glared furiously. However, the ten rookies ranked in the top five all wore solemn expressions.
The faceless ghost in first place was as burly as a little giant. It leaped down from the stone wall, indicating that it accepted this ten-against-one challenge. Seeing this, second place, Guixiang, third place, Chihui, and fourth place, Sif, successively jumped down as well, faintly surrounding Su Xiao.
This caused the Jackal in tenth place, who had been wearing a mocking expression, to suddenly stiffen. Its eyes narrowed, and its entire body was covered in wet black fur like a water monkey, giving it a despicably gloomy air. Yet with the other nine already entering the arena, it gritted its teeth and jumped down too.
Seeing this, the Devil Girl in the audience adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose. The other party's earlier words—"If you dare call me handsome again in that frivolous tone, Amu will break your legs at once"—suddenly reminded her of her long-unseen elder brother. Back when they were in the Void, her brother had said something similar: "If you dare use that frivolous tone again, I'll break your legs."
Because of this, the Devil Girl, Mirwei, decided to fool this fellow into leaving and keep him away from this place that looked like nothing more than a death match, but where a single battle would cause someone to become completely addicted to fighting through "Dark Corruption."
"Unfortunately, I hadn't even decided what to do yet, and you jumped into a dead end yourself."
