The cheers from the audience grew louder and louder; most of them were relatively wealthy ordinary people.
There is a natural divide between the Transcendent class and the ordinary class.
For many ordinary people who didn't become Transcendent, the greatest pleasure is watching Transcendent events.
This brings them an indescribable sense of pleasure.
See, so what if they're Transcendent? Don't they still have to please us?
Of course, such dark psychology only accounts for a small portion. Most ordinary people watch the game to witness supernatural forces and satisfy their curiosity.
Many celebrities in the Alliance's entertainment industry are Transcendent with countless fans. Some are even more famous than the president, and their fans are not limited to the Crimson Alliance; they also have high popularity in other countries and even among different races.
For Transcendent individuals, working in the entertainment industry is a good option; at least the pay is high and there's no danger.
As the host Mengduo, finished speaking, the two competitors stepped onto the stage from either side of the ring.
The size of the arena varies depending on the skill level.
Arena 003 is exclusively for lower-to -Tier Two Transcendent individuals to compete.
The ring is square, 30 meters long and wide, and 1.5 meters high. The main building material is shape memory metal, which can restore itself even if it is damaged. There are no guardrails around the ring, and the audience can see everything clearly from the stands.
Lancelot sat in the arena, with a few other Transcendent individuals scattered around him, waiting to compete. They were generally between 20 and 40 years old, in their prime.
On the stage, the fighter on the left is a man around 30 years old, wearing a light green combat suit, with a bandage wrapped around his forehead, and holding a long knife with a narrow blade, suitable for slashing and thrusting.
This person was none other than that inexplicably confident fellow from before, Tier Two Ability Energy.
Confident Bro's codename is Azure Blade. His opponent is a woman in her early twenties, codenamed Snake Woman. She has a graceful figure, striking good looks, and wields two daggers. Judging from the situation, she might be a high-agility, high-attack type.
The host Mengduo, stood on the platform, microphone in hand, passionately describing the abilities of the two competitors. Once he had created a lively atmosphere, the referee announced the start of the competition.
Laugh!
A pale blue energy surged from Confident Bro's hand, a small amount, covering the blade, and then he leaped forward and rushed out.
Even faster than him was the Snake Woman, whose alluring waist was incredibly flexible. With a twisting motion, she propelled her two long legs, instantly covering more than ten meters to reach Azure Blade. Her two daggers, like the fangs of a venomous snake, moved with Gale, relentlessly stabbing at Confident Bro's vital points.
However, Confident Bro was indeed skilled; his blade flashed with a bluish light, sweeping out a patch of blue light like a rainbow piercing the sun, blocking all the continuous attacks.
The Snake Woman continued her attack, but at that moment, she discovered that her dagger had become broken and riddled with nicks and chips.
"Hehe, you figured it out, huh? You want to fight me head-on? You're dreaming!" Confident Bro grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
Below the stage, Lancelot overheard people whispering among themselves.
"The Snake Woman must be a novice; she doesn't even know that the Azure Blade's Ability Energy can increase Renfeng. Now that her weapon is ruined, she's probably going to lose!"
"Once bitten, twice shy. She'll be more careful next time. That's how we all got through it!"
Sure enough, while the two were discussing, Confident Bro had already started hacking away with his knife, and in a few strokes, he completely severed the Snake Woman's dagger.
Having lost her weapon, and facing the Confident Bro wielding a long sword who was clearly more experienced in combat, the Snake Woman had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Hey, you flatter me, beautiful. Are you free to have dinner together tonight?" Confident Bro blew on his side-swept bangs, making what he thought was a very cool gesture.
"Ill!"
The Snake Woman snorted coldly and swayed her alluring figure as she left the arena.
"Tch, fine, don't ask me out then, why are you cursing?" Confident Bro muttered, then arrogantly shouldered his longsword and said, "Next!"
Host Mengduo, microphone in hand, chuckled and said, "Since our Azure Blade isn't planning on taking a break, let's welcome the next competitor, Iron Fist!"
Upon hearing his name called, Lancelot stood up and slowly walked towards the arena.
"Iron Fist? Never heard of it, could it be one of those newbies?" Confident Bro's eyes lit up.
At this moment, a contestant waiting below the stage spoke up, "Azure Blade, this is a complete newcomer. If you lose, you'll lose face big time!"
"Don't worry, I'll show you how to crush the noobs later." The Confident Bro tossed his hair and said smugly.
The Snake Woman leaned against the wall, silently watching the arena; her alluring figure attracted a lot of attention.
With the beauty's attention on him, the Confident Bro was even more motivated. He secretly decided to end the competition decisively, thinking that maybe the girl would take a liking to him. Thinking of the Snake Woman's hot figure, he secretly swallowed.
Lancelot slowly put on his boxing gloves as he walked.
"Kid, can you hurry up? Stop dawdling, you might as well just admit defeat!" Confident Bro said, glancing down at the Snake Woman below, seemingly trying to attract her attention this way.
Bang!
Lancelot granted his wish, leaping several meters into the air and landing on the ring. The hard soles of his combat boots struck the metal surface with a crisp sound.
"Attention, everyone! This is Iron Fist Fist's first time participating in a competitive match. Let's give him a round of applause to encourage him, shall we?" Mengduo said, pointing the microphone towards the audience.
Applause immediately filled the stadium, and cheers rose and fell.
The Confident Bro curled his lip, feeling that Lancelot had stolen the spotlight.
"Iron Fist? You'll turn it into a crying fist in a minute!" Confident Bro muttered to himself.
Lancelot's attire and codename clearly indicate that he is a melee fighter skilled in boxing.
Against unarmed melee fighters like this, the Confident Bro wielding a long sword clearly has a significant advantage.
Even the best martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife.
"Are you ready?" the referee asked from below the stage.
The two nodded.
The battle began immediately!
Confident Bro struck first, a blue light flashing on his blade, and quickly moved in front of Lancelot before delivering a heavy slash.
Bite!
A crisp sound echoed.
Cold sweat broke out on the Confident Bro's forehead.
The Snake Woman lowered her arms, which she had been holding to her chest, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.
The other contestants in the audience instinctively stood up.
The audience fell silent instantly.
What did they see?
That Iron Fist actually managed to clamp the blade of the Azure Blade between two fingers?
You're telling me this is a newbie?
"You were quite arrogant just now," Lancelot said with a half-smile.
"Big brother... I admit it..."
Before he could even utter the word "lose," a large foot came flying at him.
Bang!
Confident Bro transformed into a shooting star, crashing into the protective glass of the audience seating area. His limbs sprawled out as he slowly slid down, his already somewhat sculpted face now completely flattened.
