Outside the Combat Arena, a crowd milled about.
There were no fewer students here to watch than there had been for Qin Siyang's fight with Rong Xin.
Qin Siyang's name carried considerable weight within the Safe Zone, but the title of Crown Prince of the Chu Character Legion was every bit as impressive.
Since military children generally completed all their schooling within military districts and formed their own circles, few ever left to attend school in the Safe Zone. Someone like Chu Baxing, the only son of a regional Commander, was unprecedented.
So plenty of people wanted to see just how strong the Crown Prince of the Chu Character Legion was-the freshman ranked first among Special Admission students by publicly disclosed points.
Especially since Chu Baxing had actually proposed a one-sided, unequal wager. If Rong Xin lost, he could simply apologize and walk away. If Chu Baxing lost, he would hand over a Tier-Four God-Hunting Artifact.
What incredible confidence!
Rong Xin glanced at his watch. "Chu Baxing, it's time. Let's enter the Combat Arena."
"Wait a little longer."
With an indifferent expression, Chu Baxing slowly scanned his surroundings, searching for a familiar figure.
Rong Xin was puzzled. "Who are you waiting for?"
"Just wait."
Chu Baxing couldn't be bothered to explain, and Rong Xin didn't press him, afraid of angering this God of Wealth and making him back out of the match.
After looking around several times without spotting Qin Siyang, Chu Baxing couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Then he suddenly spotted someone racing toward the crowd like a wild dog at full sprint, coming to a stop beside a sickly-looking man.
Qin Siyang had arrived.
Chu Baxing's eyes brightened slightly.
"Rong Xin, let's enter the Combat Arena."
Following Chu Baxing's gaze, Rong Xin spotted Qin Siyang and couldn't
