On the arena.
Saint Lucca's headless corpse was still twitching nonstop.
The royal healing team, clad in the exclusive robes of the Holy Light Empire's imperial family, hurriedly began reviving the Third Prince, who had suffered such a crushing defeat.
Meanwhile, in the top-tier VIP seats.
Other than Zhou Hongfu and Liu Huanran, who wore smiles on their faces, every level-one-hundred powerhouse bore an exceedingly complicated expression.
The faces of the Holy Light Empire's noble ministers had already darkened.
Especially Prince Sheng Lusi.
Entrusted by the Holy Light Empire's royal family with organizing and hosting the official tournament, he had initially thought it would be an exceedingly easy task.
After all, in his eyes, the Holy Light Empire would not only sweep the lucrative champion and runner-up positions this year, but would take the third and fourth places as well!
Only then could they fully display the Holy Light Empire's mighty national strength and its unparalleled dominance!
Yet who would have thought...
In the second elimination round of the group stage, Third Prince Saint Lucca, whom everyone had eagerly anticipated and favored, would lose just like that to a Jobless Freelancer!
And the key was...
This Jobless Freelancer had not only entered without his contracted divine beast, but had not used a single skill either!
He had defeated Saint Lucca entirely through the sheer power of his overwhelmingly formidable physique and those inexplicable ordinary moves!
Humiliating!
Utterly humiliating!!
What a useless piece of trash!
Crack!!
The wineglass in Prince Sheng Lusi's hand finally shattered in response!
His eyes, dark as deep water, stared fixedly at the Freelancer's figure as he casually stepped down from the arena, his pupils filled with extreme fury!!
The servants nearby trembled as they hurried over to clean up the glass shards scattered across the floor.
