Crimson Rock Rat

The once bustling crowd fell into a deathly silence after Hua Qiang's sudden slap that killed a team member in the competition.

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Team members from many countries, witnessing this scene, stared wide-eyed, mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with disbelief.

I just stared at it blankly, as if time had frozen at that moment.

The members of the Sakura Country were initially stunned, but then they burst into angry roars like powder kegs that had been lit.

Their faces were flushed red, their eyes burning with rage, and they even drew their Katana, the gleaming blades flashing coldly in the sunlight, as if they were about to attack Hua Qiang and his group immediately.

Yokoyama Eiko's brows twitched tightly, her heart filled with raging anger.

This person is going too far! Even if people from your own country behave in a despicable way, there's no need to be so suicidal!

Why did they just kill him like that?

This is utterly disregard for Sakura Country, a blatant act of indifference and provocation, completely ignoring the dignity and existence of their nation.

She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and stared fiercely at Hua Qiang and the others.

Hua Qiang's move was too sudden, catching them off guard. At this moment, she felt a deep sense of dread towards Hua Qiang.

Yamamoto Taichiro, in their team, ranks third in combat strength, and has also reached the low-level of Martial King.

Besides her, a High-Rank Martial King, there was also a Mid-stage Martial King, Yagyu Shizune, in the team who could keep him in check; no one else was his match.

Although the opponent's attack was suspected of being a sneak attack, even if it was a sneak attack, as Martial King Realm, one is very sensitive to threats. Even if it is rushed, one can still react and would not be able to be killed by the opponent with one slap.

So she wondered what level Hua Qiang had reached.

She couldn't believe that someone at the Martial King Realm could succeed so easily.

She carefully sensed Hua Qiang's aura, but couldn't detect his level of cultivation at all.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of fear. Could it be that the other party had already stepped out of the King Realm and reached the Martial Emperor Realm?

If that's the case, even if all ten of them attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him.

Moreover, Yamamoto Taichiro third in combat power, is dead.

"Baka! Baka yarou! Captain, let's attack together and kill this bastard to avenge Yamada-kun!"

With a small gesture, Yokoyama Eiko stopped her subordinates from becoming enraged and impulsive.

As the team leader, she was responsible for the entire team. She also disliked this Yamamoto Taichiro, who always stared at her with lecherous eyes, and she had wanted to beat him up for a long time.

However, he himself bears a great deal of responsibility for his death.

Because she is the captain.

Now, she suspected that Hua Qiang was far stronger than them, and dared not let them take any risks easily.

Currently, during the competition, the organizers do not prohibit conflicts, even life-or-death battles, between teams.

She glanced at Yagyu Shizune and saw that he also looked hesitant, probably thinking something similar to her own.

"Please calm down, everyone!"

Yokoyama Eiko stopped her teammates first, then looked at Hua Qiang and said, "Hua Qiang Qiangyu, you need to give us an explanation for this!"

Hua Qiang glanced at her. Although she was indeed stunningly beautiful, she wasn't his type, and he didn't give her a friendly look.

"How do you expect me to explain this to you? Or should I take pity on you and send you all out of the exam hall?"

"You?"

Yokoyama Eiko was so angry she didn't know how to say it.

"You bastard, you've gone too far! How dare you speak to our captain like that? I challenge you to a duel!"

A hot-tempered man pointed at Hua Qiang with his sword.

The next moment, one side of his face swelled up.

Hua Qiang blew on his hands, as if there was dust on his palms.

"This is just a small punishment. If you dare to bare your teeth at me again, I'll slap you to death!"

Okamoto Hideo covered his face, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Hua Qiang.

Even though the other person was so far away and didn't move, he still got slapped. He felt that if the other person wanted to kill him, it would be very easy.

"Let's go!"

Yokoyama Eiko gritted her teeth, spat out a resentful remark, and then turned and left.

Stay away from this plague god, or who knows what might happen next?

Seeing that their captain had backed down, the other team members naturally didn't dare to cause any more trouble.

This ethnic group is like that; they bully the weak and fear the strong, and their servility is very strong at heart.

He thinks you are weaker than him, so he will bully you and even take advantage of you.

But if you act strong and assertive, he will immediately become like a slave, bowing and scraping to you.

One of the team members stepped forward and took away the body of Yamamoto Taichiro Ichiro.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the other national team members scattered like birds. After all, for Martial Artists, killing one or two people was a normal thing.

The team led by Hua Qiang looked at him with immense admiration.

Especially Little Dragon Girl, who is a violent person herself, was ecstatic to see Hua Qiang so decisive and forcefully kill someone.

She felt that following Hua Qiang was the right thing to do. If she was ever bullied in the future, she would ask him to stand up for her and then slap the bullies to death one by one.

Just thinking about it is awesome!

Just then, a voice rang out in the air.

Dear team members, the second round of the Martial Arts Alliance Tournament is now open. Please stand at the front teleportation platform and you will be automatically teleported to a separate area.

During these five days, everyone must fight their own battles.

Of course, some people might run into each other, and you will not only have to face Mutant Beasts, but also the schemes of the humans.

Please enter the arena within ten minutes.

With a whoosh, everyone stood on a huge stone platform. The platform had grooves at the four corners, containing luminous crystals, which should be energy stones.

Once everyone was on the teleportation platform, a bright light rose from all around the platform. Then, everyone felt a dizzy spell and found themselves in different places, each person alone.

Before setting off, Hua Qiang had already put Little Dragon Girl away.

To ensure fairness and impartiality in this competition, no assistants are allowed, and participants with pets are not permitted to bring their pets.

Unless it is a summoning type, because such a person has no combat power and relies entirely on the summoned Battle Beast to fight. Moreover, due to the limitation of their realm, they can only summon a Battle Beast of the same realm as themselves.

Hua Qiang was teleported to a valley filled with red soil. Just as he was about to observe his surroundings, several rats, each as big as a calf, appeared in his line of sight.

This is... Level 4 Exotic Beast, the Crimson Rock Rat!
