A New Champion Is Born

The scene cut directly to the arena's central plaza.

In the originally empty plaza, flashes of light appeared one after another. In just a few seconds, densely packed crowds appeared out of thin air.

At a rough glance, there were more than ten thousand people. The din, cries of surprise, and curses instantly filled the entire scene.

There were all kinds of people in the crowd: young, strong men; thugs with fierce expressions; and burly men with massive builds.

Everyone looked around in confusion at the enormous arena before them and the towering walls surrounding it. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and greed, while a few wore fearful expressions and wanted to escape.

The Clown host stood on a raised platform with a microphone in hand and an eerie smile on his face. Looking at the densely packed contestants below, he slowly began to speak. His voice traveled through the speakers across the entire arena and, through the screens, to every corner of the world.

"Welcome, brave warriors, to the second Undying Arena!"

"For this arena, we sent out a total of fifty thousand invitations. In the end, the number of people who agreed to participate came to 28,441!"

The moment this number was announced, everyone watching the screens sucked in a sharp breath.

With nearly thirty thousand people participating, the brutality of this battle royale was obvious. It would be far more terrifying than the slaughter in the previous tournament!

The Clown on the raised platform continued:

"The rules of this arena remain unchanged. It is still a battle royale. The last person alive will be this tournament's champion and will take all the top-tier rewards!"

He raised a hand and pointed around the arena. Everyone followed his gesture and saw a circle of roaring red flames ignite
