The sheer number of races overwhelmed Leo; it was as if a comprehensive encyclopedia of cosmic life was unfolding before his eyes, with tens of thousands of life forms constantly appearing in succession.
It can only be said that the birth of life and wisdom is full of miracles. Humans are not the only masters of the world; any race and life can control its own destiny!
"Roar"
A roar echoed through the arena, and a hundred-meter-long golden two-headed dragon appeared. Its powerful dragon aura caused the surrounding creatures to retreat, giving it ample space.
The intense dragon breath caused a slight change in the expressions of those present. The panic emanating from the top Hunter seemed to awaken from the depths of their souls at this moment. This was actually a pure-blooded level three golden dragon!
What's even more terrifying is that it has two heads; such a two-headed dragon would be considered a top-tier existence even among pure-blooded dragons.
Sensing its dragon-like might, he was already close to advancing to the fourth level!
Four murderous gazes, like those of a hunter, shot from the pupils of this Golden Two-Headed Dragon. It was brazenly surveying its opponents present, its contemptuous dragon eyes seemingly showing no regard for any of them!
As a renowned being in the universe, just by looking at the shocked expressions of those who have never seen a pure-blooded dragon, you know he has the right to be proud!
Even geniuses have different levels, and this Golden Two-Headed Dragon is a genius among geniuses!
Leo glanced at the giant dragon, then continued to observe the other opponents. Although this dragon was strong, they would only know who was stronger after they fought it!
His gaze swept over most of his opponents, only lingering for a moment on a very few whose aura was comparable to that of the giant dragon, and he memorized their appearance.
It must be said that the universe is vast, with numerous races and countless powerful beings, vividly demonstrating the tenacious evolution of life.
If Leo from a hundred years ago were in this position today, he wouldn't even rank in the top 100.
Now,
That's hard to say!
An hour later, no new people were added, and the final number of people in the arena stopped at over 40,000.
This means that more than 40,000 top-tier level 3 life forms are participating in this gladiatorial competition for the miniature world!
Each of them, if placed in the public eye, would be a peerless genius, a legendary figure renowned throughout the region, a role model admired and revered by countless people.
But here, it's only one in forty thousand!
Of course, this doesn't mean that these 40,000+ powerful individuals encompass all the geniuses in the universe; Leo estimates that they probably represent at least 0.1%.
The propaganda claims that all the top-tier powerhouses in the universe are gathering to compete for a world, but in reality, only the powerhouses from the surrounding Wizarding World Cluster can actually attend!
Now, if Leo wants to obtain that miniature world, he only needs to defeat these opponents!
The number of people is relatively large, but it's still within Leo's estimate!
"Due to the excessive number of participants, the one-on-one death matches are suspended. Following the Supreme Lord's orders, all participants will be thrown into a single world for a massive free-for-all, with the last one remaining being the ultimate victor!"
After speaking to those at level four and above in the audience, the Sword of Nirvana looked at the contestants in the center of the arena and said with pity:
"Be grateful to the Supreme Lord. Considering that you are the carefully nurtured offspring of each race, Wizard Will's will will be imprinted within you. When you are severely injured, you will be teleported away."
"This is a gift never before seen in the Death Arena; you must strive to prove yourselves worthy of it."
Praise be to the great Supreme Lord!
Hearing that they wouldn't die, countless people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Among more than 40,000 top-tier level 3 opponents, death was like a shadow, always following them.
Now that they don't have to die, their anxious hearts are at ease, and their biggest worry is gone.
"Are you ready?" asked the Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard.
Everyone nodded warily at each other and subtly distanced themselves, indicating they were ready.
The Sword of Nirvana Stigmata Wizard and sent them flying across the arena. Leo felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision returned, he found himself in an unfamiliar world.
The Space·Transfer was so fast that Leo barely noticed any spatial fluctuations!
Forests, rivers, water vapor, air, clouds, sky, sunlight, mountains, Gravity —the basic attribute numbers of the Wizard World are almost perfectly replicated.
Without the suppression of rules, this is a world ruled by the Wizard Will. There is no need to put much effort into adapting; one can unleash their full power instantly!
Leo immediately released his spiritual power, but he couldn't detect any opponent within his perception range. With a tap of his foot, he vanished instantly, his body disappearing into the shadows.
With his Godslaying Wizard Robe concealing his figure and aura, coupled with his Shadow Walking, Leo had already gained an early advantage in the chaotic battle.
At the same time, the opponents who had just been in the center of the arena, upon realizing they had entered an unfamiliar world, all carefully concealed themselves.
The initial stage of the competition is the most dangerous time; a moment's carelessness can lead to being caught off guard by an unpredictable opponent and being eliminated instantly.
Don't rush to eliminate others; adapt to the world first, observe the situation, and then take action!
While Leo and his companions were carefully hiding, little did they know that their actions had been observed by the World Lord and Stigmata Wizard outside.
The Death Arena, the very spot where Leo and his companions had just been, remained unchanged in the surrounding stands. Only the center of the arena itself had transformed into a miniature world.
It was as if a world had shrunk countless times, becoming a miniature world with a diameter of only tens of thousands of meters, placed in the center of the arena.
Leo and his companions continued to move and fight within this miniature world.
The World Lord and Stigmata Wizard in the audience could directly observe the battle from outside the world; no subtle movement could escape their notice.
"What do you think of Leo? Can he get first place?" At the very top of the audience, the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard pointed to the spot where Leo had disappeared and asked the God of Giants Kampas beside him.
Kampas had already taken notice of Leo, after all, it was Leo's significant contribution that enabled him to join the Wizard Alliance.
Leo even reached level two because of a drop of his blood, which laid the foundation for Leo's use of thunder magic. Leo and him naturally had a closeness that other wizards could not match.
Unexpectedly, in less than a thousand years, Leo has already grown to the peak of the third level, and is even able to participate in the gladiatorial contest held by the Supreme Lord.
This rate of growth far exceeded the expectations of the God of Giants Kampas!
They grow faster than the Titans in their Giant World!
Of course, he liked seeing Leo's growth rate and even hoped that Leo would become Stigmata Wizard as soon as possible, so that they and their Giant World would have one more Stigmata Wizard they knew.
"I wouldn't dare say first place, but I think that pure-blooded golden dragon is quite interesting; maybe it can take first place," said the God of Giants Kampas after a moment's thought.
The dragon Bloodline is so legendary that wherever a dragon appears, it inevitably becomes the most eye-catching place!
During the matches they were watching, most people immediately hid themselves, while only a very few relied on their strength to swagger around the world, openly searching for other opponents.
Among these people, the golden dragon was the most arrogant, with its wingspan exceeding a hundred meters, accompanied by howling winds, and its two heads swaying as it searched for other opponents.
It's highly likely that his two heads possess some unique ability, allowing him to detect hidden opponents wherever he goes.
These hidden opponents originally intended to ambush the golden dragon, given his overly arrogant behavior upon his initial appearance.
Unfortunately, just when they thought they could gain the upper hand by remaining completely hidden, they were ambushed and eliminated by this giant dragon.
The seemingly arrogant and invincible Golden Two-Headed Dragon, seemingly unaware of these hidden opponents, actually saw them all, but pretended not to.
By observing the hidden movements of the opponent and launching a surprise attack at the most crucial moment, no one can withstand the full force of a sneak attack from a golden dragon approaching the level of Level-Four World Lord.
Beneath his seemingly arrogant behavior lies a surprisingly incongruous fighting style.
Following his own methods, he eliminated an opponent instantly upon entering the world, making him the opponent with the most eliminations among all competitors, and also the only one with such a record.
Bold, meticulous, and adept at feigning weakness to outsmart others—this kind of life seems tailor-made for them!
"This pureblood dragon is indeed very strong. It might even get first place. How about we make a bet?" The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard's eyes Gulu around, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
What are we betting on?
"The God of Giants Kampas asked casually. At his level, few things could stir his emotions," Kampas asked.
"I bet Leo will be number one, how about you bet this giant dragon will be number one?" the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard said with a smile.
The God of Giants Kampas watched the Golden Two-Headed Dragon actively seeking out opponents in the arena, then looked at Leo, who was hiding and out of sight, and after careful consideration, asked, "What are the stakes?"
"Let's not gamble too much, just have some fun. How about betting a million energy crystals?" The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard glanced at the God of Giants and extended a ten-meter-long finger.
The God of Giants considered it carefully, then nodded under the gaze of the Undying Body. "That works."
"Very well, let's take the Wizard Will as witness," the Undying Body said, eagerly writing down their bet as a contract upon hearing the God of Giants's agreement, and then immediately pressing his handprint on it.
The God of Giants Kampas looked at the contract that had appeared before him in less than a second after he nodded, and was somewhat puzzled. Was this the kind of decisive and efficient person his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for many years, really?
Does that seem unlikely?
