"What a shame! He still came in the last minute."
"This guy sure knows how to put on an act, only showing up all of a sudden in the final minute. If something had come up at the last second and he couldn't make it, he'd have been in trouble."
"Doesn't look like there's anything special about him. I doubt he's a match for the Flame Race Gladiator!"
"He's taking his sweet time getting onto the stage. He definitely doesn't have enough confidence!"
Amid the audience's criticism.
Yi Chen slowly flew onto the stage. ❋
It was only a battle between Level 150 fighters, so the stage was not considered large.
The entire stage was only about ten kilometers in length and width.
Around it, special Forbidden Restrictions had been set up by powerful experts.
These Forbidden Restrictions could not only withstand attacks from outside, but also prevent attacks from within from spreading outward.
Only when one side was killed would the Forbidden Restrictions shut down.
When Yi Chen entered the stage, the Shadow Emperor also slipped silently onto it.
Naturally, he did this to ensure Yi Chen's safety.
Multiple layers of insurance.
Although he possessed terrifying talent and strength that allowed him to kill opponents across a Great Realm, Yi Chen was still extremely cautious.
Not only had he secretly drained the Flame Race Gladiator's fortune before the match began.
He had even arranged for the Shadow Emperor to sneak onto the stage, just in case any sudden situation arose.
This way, even if there really was a one-in-a-hundred-million chance that this Flame Race Gladiator was stronger than him, after he suffered a crushing defeat, the Shadow Emperor could use his ability to conceal his form and make him disappear from everyone's sight.
Then pass through the Forbidden Restrictions
