"The Strength Trial begins now! Next... please welcome trial participant number one to the stage."
As soon as Kasi finished speaking, Seven flew into the center of the dueling arena.
The entire audience erupted in uproar...
With his Fish-Man Race characteristics and the deep impression he left on everyone during the "Sea Trial," no one is unaware of who "Seven" is.
That's precisely why it's so shocking— Angel had previously given the privilege of choosing the number first to "Seven," and everyone saw that he had chosen the number voluntarily.
"He chose the order himself, didn't he?"
"They actually chose number one directly?"
"Because they scored so high in the Sky Trial, and probably no other clans joined forces with Temur, the people of Mutel only know the numbers of their two teams of eight people, so it doesn't really matter how many they choose."
"No, but if number one plays, it's still a disadvantage because there's no opportunity to be called up and score points."
The Spectator was puzzled by the decision to have number one take the field, and even Mutel's supporters were on tenterhooks.
Although Seven had explained his methods to them beforehand, they were unsure whether they would be effective, so Angel made the decision and left the choice to him.
Enel was prepared to use "Spearman's Thrust" on Seven if he messed things up.
"Seven, how many opponents will you face at the same time? This is not only a test of strength, but also of wisdom..."
Kasi was halfway through her sentence when Sig interrupted her, saying, "I'm going to fight them all!"
Kasi:???
Seeing Kasi's stunned expression, Sig repeated, "I want to fight two hundred and fifty-five!"
After the Spectator heard what he said clearly through the Recording Shell, they erupted in cheers once again.
Some suspected he was overestimating himself, others speculated that he didn't understand the rules at all, while still others calmly concluded that he was definitely trying to take advantage of the chaos to score points!
With over two hundred people on the field at once, if a conflict breaks out among the others before "Seven" is eliminated, even if it's brief, seven or eight people could be eliminated. Even if the number is halved afterward, there would still be three or four people eliminated.
Kasi then came to her senses and looked at Sig strangely, but still said, "Then... please, all of you, trial participants number 2 to 256, come up."
As soon as Kasi finished speaking, countless people flew up from all around and landed on the dueling arena.
The members of the Kusa Clan, in particular, deliberately moved closer to Sig. The leader of the Kusa Clan even shouted, "No matter what conflicts you have, don't forget we're in the middle of a trial! Make sure to take down the person who called us up here first, otherwise we'll be giving away points for nothing, and that would be a laughingstock!"
"That's right, we also need to be careful of Mutel's other teammates sneaking up on him and helping him score points." Wade then offered a hypothesis with his exceptional intelligence.
Seeing that this villain actually had a brain, Sig quickly threw a "Frenzy" spell at him, bringing him back to the level of intelligence expected of a villain...
After Angel and the others entered the arena, they were all targeted, and since there was no one else around, everyone kept a safe distance from Mutel.
Seeing that everyone had taken their places, Kasi, using the power of the Wing Shell, rose several meters into the air and loudly announced with the Sound Shell, "The trial begins!"
"Let me teach you a lesson you Fish-Man!"
"I won't let you score..."
"Those who are weaker should go to the back; don't give them even the slightest benefit!"
"Hmph, witness the double-handed Repel Dials I've just mastered."
Immediately, many people launched a fierce attack on "Seven," but at that moment, Sig's gaze sharpened and his pupils trembled... Instantly, a chilling aura rose from everyone's hearts!
The dozen or so people who dared to charge ahead were alright, as they were all quite confident. Only five or six of them suddenly fainted, either falling flat on their faces or plummeting headfirst from the air...
Even more chaotic was what followed, where groups of trainees fainted en masse, some so terrified they foamed at the mouth.
Sig, on the other hand, leaped directly into the Island Cloud, plunging into it as if he were floating among the Sea Cloud, dodging the onslaught of attacks.
To everyone's surprise, Seven's score jumped to 208—because everyone had brought a diagnostic device, the fainting targets were immediately tallied, and in one go, 80% of the people were eliminated!
Immediately afterward, amidst everyone's unease, tension, and anticipation, Sig... swam directly into the dueling arena.
Sig's diagnostic system also detected that he had left the area, directly indicating his elimination. His score dropped from 208 to 104, while the other 47 players each gained 2.2 points!
"Alright, you guys can continue," Sig said flippantly from the sidelines.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they realized what was happening...
There are 47 people left. Even if the next player eliminates all the remaining players, they will only have less than 50 points. The points scored by "Seven" alone are enough for Angel's team to secure first place in the total score!
A sudden burst of noise erupted; no one had expected that "Seven" would actually score over a hundred points and leave.
The "Strength Trial" had just begun, and before anyone even understood what was going on, the overall first place had already been secured!
Of course, compared to Seven's current choice, what puzzles everyone more is what happened that led to the elimination of the previous two hundred-plus people?
Use poison?
Kasi quickly confirmed it as well, because he was also within the range of Conqueror's Haki, so he clearly sensed that it wasn't poison, but some kind of intimidating aura.
And the real answer is also spreading on a small scale— Conqueror's Haki!
Although most Sky Island person have never heard of "Conqueror's Haki," since people from the Blue Sea come up here from time to time, there must be knowledgeable people who have heard of it.
Phrases such as "possessing the qualities to become king," "having the best destiny and spirit," and "one in a million" have all been bestowed upon Seven.
Not only ordinary Bilca people, but also the elders were discussing it, but... no matter how you look at it, Seven's actions did not violate the rules.
Finally, amidst sighs and lamentations, Kasi urged everyone to take their unconscious companions away, as the "Strength Trial" was about to continue—forty-seven people remained!
This might be the fastest "Strength Trial" to end...
And judging from the remaining number of people, Mutel is undoubtedly the biggest Winner - out of the forty-seven people, seven are from Mutel. Apart from "Seven" who has already returned with a full load, the other seven are still present.
While Sig's "Intimidation" cannot accurately distinguish between friend and foe, it can still control the strength of its power within a certain range.
Angel seven companions initially gathered together. When Sig's Conqueror's Haki erupted, the area was already weakened, and since they were prepared, they were able to withstand it...
