Li Du was about to lead the others away.
Lu Zhen suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Li." He stared down at the beast-fighting arena. "Can people enter these fights too?"
Li Du froze. "They can, but..."
"I'm going to try," Lu Zhen said with a smile.
"Don't be rash!" Li Du's expression changed.
Dantai Ming grew anxious too and grabbed Lu Zhen's sleeve. "Brother Lu, have you gone mad? You may have placed first in Special Training Camp, but that Azure-Scaled Horn Wolf is a mutated beast. It's already touched the threshold of the Law Realm!"
"Exactly." Hou Jin frowned. "You've only cleared the third stage of the Mystic Tower's fourth floor. You're no match for a beast like that. There's no need to throw your life away just to make a point."
Shi Lei nodded repeatedly.
Lu Zhen shook his head.
The Nine Provinces were in imminent danger, and the Netherblood Sect's butcher's blade hung over their necks. He had not come to the Supreme Unity Mystic Sect to hide his light under a bushel.
To break this deadlock, he had to show his edge!
He might even have to be arrogant.
"Thank you for your concern." Lu Zhen gently moved Dantai Ming's hand aside. "I've decided to try."
With that, Lu Zhen stepped up to the window.
"Senior brother from the Inner Sect."
Lu Zhen's voice carried across the entire arena. "I'm betting on myself. One hundred thousand Mystic Crystals."
For a moment, the nearby private rooms fell silent.
Countless eyes swung toward him at once.
"Who's that?"
"Judging by his clothes, he's one of the special trainees who just arrived."
"From Special Training Camp? Does he even have anyone in the Law Realm?"
"Hah. Isn't he just throwing his life away?"
After that brief silence, laughter erupted.
