Still Tiger and Shadow Mouse

Taking advantage of the commotion, the Cyclops brothers silently left the Arena, but now no one cared about these two brothers who didn't care about selling their father's property.

If they donate all these treasures, won't they be beaten to death when they get back?

But in a secluded alley, out of sight of anyone, the Cyclops brothers were talking to the Blackwing Race who had just Taunt them.

They handed a bag of stones to the other party, saying, "This is the final payment; please check it!"

After taking the bag, the Blackwing Race weighed it in his hand and immediately realized that it contained high-quality Energy Crystals.

Energy Crystals are the currency of this world; they are not issued by any single entity, but are a mineral recognized by all races.

All races in the Dark Abyss depend on it, so it has become the hard currency of the Dark Abyss.

"Brothers, you two seem to have a lot of faith in your husbands! Do you have some inside information?" the Blackwing Race asked.

"The transaction is over, so don't ask questions you shouldn't. We have other things to do, so you don't need to see us off!" Single Horn said, and then it and Da Mao left.

Watching the direction the two left in, the Blackwing Race holding the money pouch in his hand had a deep look in his eyes.

Then it turned and headed towards the Arena, and if they were true, it would make a fortune this time.

The day it brought that person into the city, it sensed that the person was different; now it seems he's a ruthless individual!

After bidding farewell to the Blackwing Race, Da Mao and Single Horn returned to where Old Wang was and reported the situation to him.

"Sir, the bet has been placed, with odds of 20 to 1. That should be the maximum!" the Single Horn said.

Looking at the Single Horn now, they've lost all trace of their former goofy appearance. Old Wang never imagined they were natural-born actors.

As for his winning the bet this time, it was all arranged by Old Wang!

Old Wang didn't originally intend to make such a big fuss; his initial plan was simply to quietly eliminate those two Legendary and establish his authority.

However, he recently discovered a harsh problem: Old Wang realized he had no money.

He, who had never lacked money in the Mecha World Universe, found himself penniless. Logically speaking, the things he possessed were priceless even in Black Cloud City.

But don't forget that those items are all bound to the account; he can't sell any of them.

Old Wang has been spending money donated by the Cyclops lately, but his extravagant spending habits soon became unbearable for the Cyclops.

They sent people out to work elsewhere; if they hadn't gone out to work, this wouldn't have happened.

Cyclops are aware of their situation, and they try to keep a low profile as much as possible, going out to work despite having enemies—they really have no other choice.

After learning all this, Old Wang issued the challenge in such a grand manner. Only after they accepted it did Old Wang come up with a way to win.

Although Cyclops may look like complete idiots, they really were idiots in the past.

However, having lived in the Endless Mountains for so many years, their entire species has long since developed exceptional acting skills.

There was no way around it; a simpleton like him wouldn't survive long in the Endless Mountains. This was a lesson the Cyclops had learned through blood and tears.

Two days later

Old Wang arrived at the Arena as promised, and then entered the Arena's waiting area under the watchful eyes of the Cyclops.

Although the Cyclops were worried about his safety, they didn't say anything more.

They are a natural-born warrior race, and having lived in the Endless Mountains for so long, they are accustomed to life and death.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was time for Old Wang to meet with the other two.

"Let us welcome the Legendary Jin-Hun from the Elemental Domain!"

"Roar!!!"

As the host introduced him, Old Wang descended from the sky and landed steadily on the battlefield, immediately igniting a frenzy throughout the entire area.

Old Wang actually quite likes this kind of environment; it gives him a feeling of excitement and exhilaration.

"Next, let's welcome Lord Still Tiger and Lord Shadow Mouse to the stage!"

As the host's voice rang out again, the door to the other dressing room slowly opened.

Still Tiger and Shadow Mouse slowly walked out; this was the first time Old Wang had seen his two opponents.

Still Tiger's appearance is that of a tiger with very long fur; if it weren't for the stripes on its body, Old Wang would have suspected that it was a Lion.

The Shadow Mouse is a completely black Ratmen, only about one meter tall, making it look like an insect in this world full of Giant Beast.

After the two entered the arena, the boiling Arena gradually quieted down. This was simply because Still Tiger disliked noise, which showed just how formidable he was.

Old Wang felt a pang of jealousy upon seeing these two incredibly high-class figures make their entrance; it seemed he had acted rashly.

Compared to them, my imitation of Iron Man's entrance seemed rather pretentious.

"So you're the one challenging us? How did you get so confident after learning about our weaknesses from those Cyclops?" Still Tiger asked Old Wang.

"You really think you can defeat us and make a name for yourself? And then be chosen by the Demon Temple?" Shadow Mouse.

"Anyone who thought that way before has been fed to us brothers by the Black Cloud Bat!" Still Tiger.

"Don't even mention it, he might get some Nocturnal Glow Sand from feeding the Black Cloud Bat, hahaha!" Shadow Mouse.

When the two brothers saw Old Wang, they started acting like they were performing a comedy routine, making Old Wang wonder if they were from the Deyun Society's Black Cloud City branch in the Dark Abyss region.

After Old Wang couldn't hold back any longer, he said to the referee, "Start right away."

After the referee nodded, left the arena, and summoned a protective barrier, the duel officially began.

But before Old Wang could even make a move at the start of the match, Still Tiger let out a silent roar. After a domain spread out, Old Wang felt the whole world go silent, and everything around him became quiet.

This is its Silence Domain; no one can make a sound within this zone, and no sound can come in from outside.

This is an absolutely static environment, in which it cannot be killed, and the more it is attacked, the stronger it becomes.

However, it knew that Old Wang must have discovered its weakness, so it didn't rush in, but instead looked at the Shadow Mouse to the side.

After Shadow Mouse nodded, the shadow beneath his feet spread out and covered the entire battlefield, and then shadow soldiers emerged from the shadows one by one.

These shadow soldiers are all quite strong; if converted to levels, each one is over level 50, and some of them are even Legendary.

To everyone's surprise, there were a large number of Cyclops among these shadow soldiers, and even a Legendary Cyclops.

Their distinctive appearance makes it impossible for anyone to mistake them.

Upon witnessing this scene, the veins on the heads of the Cyclops on the platform bulged, and the priest said in a voice filled with hatred, "So it was he who had been persecuting my people all along!"

However, the Cyclops are too weak now, and no one cares about their feelings.

Old Wang on the stage has already made his move. In order to appear like a Gold Element, Old Wang did not choose his most proficient magic, but instead summoned a pair of Punch Blades to attack these shadow soldiers.

He swung his hands, and two pure slashes flew out from his hands, instantly cutting a large number of shadow soldiers in half at the waist.

The Shadow Mouse smirked in disdain upon witnessing this, for his shadow soldiers were impervious to physical damage and could heal themselves no matter how many times they were severed...

"What?! What did you do?"

Just as Shadow Mouse was confidently about to restore these cannon fodder shadow soldiers, it discovered that it could no longer control their restoration.

Although he couldn't hear the other person's voice in the Silence Domain, Old Wang still smiled with satisfaction at its expression.

Taking advantage of his shock, he quickly arrived in front of the Legendary Cyclops and dismembered him with several slashes.

This is the most troublesome Legendary for Old Wang, even more so than the other two, because the Cyclops's Psychic Ray can harm Old Wang.

After defeating this formidable enemy, Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but was stopped by Still Tiger just as he was preparing to launch Ambush.

It wanted to trade blows, but Old Wang didn't want it to succeed yet. He dodged its attack and the two sides faced off again.

Then Still Tiger looked at Shadow Mouse, as if to say, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you acting so cheap?"

The Shadow Mouse didn't know what was wrong with itself; these shadow soldiers couldn't regenerate after being cut down by the enemy, which caused it to malfunction.
