#143 - Ring melee - Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

July 17, 2066, according to the Chinese calendar.

The arena competition begins. The arena battles are divided into arena melees and arena one-on-one battles. The arena melee is divided into one thousand groups, with 200 groups taking place each day. Only the last 10 people in each group remain, and the 10,000 people who advance enter the arena one-on-one battles.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen all have to participate in the arena melee because none of them achieved first place in their respective world regions.

Hong was assigned to Group 161 on the first day. Luo Feng and Lei Shen were both on the second day and were very lucky to be assigned together to Group 321.

Virtual Universe, Combat Arena No. 10239

Yang Wu appeared in the audience to watch Hong's upcoming arena match. He was accompanied by Luo Feng and Lei Shen, as well as their and Hong's families.

The entire combat arena was filled with cheers, with a billion viewers stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

At this moment, a sweet and crisp voice instantly spread throughout the entire combat arena.

A brown-haired girl with a fiery figure appeared in the center of the combat arena, ready to provide commentary for the upcoming arena match.

The first one is Rong Jun, from the Golden Sword Empire, ranked 2nd in the 88th world region."

With Rong Jun's terrifying score, almost slaughtering the top 10 in a world region, even after being killed by Yang Wu, half of his points still ranked him 2nd.

As the beautiful commentator introduced him, a screen suddenly appeared next to her, displaying Rong Jun's battle footage and some simple information.

"Rong Jun!"

The combat arena suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers, with a section of the audience cheering and shouting Rong Jun's name like crazy.

Not only this area, but even other areas joined in the cheers.

Geniuses are always popular. Rong Jun's battle with Yang Wu completely conquered many viewers.

In the cheering crowd, Luo Feng and Lei Shen frowned.

"Brother Yang, this is troublesome. I didn't expect this savage to be here!"

"Don't panic. With Hong's survivability, there won't be any problems."

Yang Wu looked at Rong Jun's battle footage in mid-air, his tone relaxed and calm. "The second one is Torreya, from the Thousand Blade Empire, ranked 25th in the 25th world region."

The information on the screen quickly switched, revealing the information of a woman. This was a sturdy woman in armor with fierce eyes and a body full of baleful aura.

"Torreya!"

"The third one is Nayong—"

As the beautiful commentator introduced them, geniuses continued to appear, drawing cheers from the audience, especially from the audience stands of the geniuses' respective countries, which erupted in overwhelming waves of sound.

"The 51st one is Hong, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, ranked 652nd in the 72nd world region."

"Hong!"

In a section of the audience, millions of viewers from the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield shouted loudly, as if declaring to the world.

This was their Black Dragon Mountain Empire's genius. Soon, in the countdown sound, a hundred elite geniuses appeared in the combat arena.

Inside the combat arena

Hong held a silver spear and cautiously scanned the surrounding contestants. The information he had watched quickly flashed through his mind, and he immediately made strategic adjustments that were beneficial to him. "Battle, begin!"

A low and majestic voice spread throughout the entire combat arena.

"Boom!"

Violent air currents burst out, and the hundred genius experts in the combat arena quickly began to charge and fight.

"Take my blade!"

Among them, the most noticeable was the savage youth with messy hair, carrying a large blade and barefoot, cutting into the crowd like chopping vegetables.

Even when facing encirclement, he quickly used ghostly steps to walk through the chaotic crowd.

Wherever this savage went...

It was simply a massacre. Although the people besieging the savage were all elite geniuses, none of them could compete with him.

In the combat arena, the number of participants was decreasing, and Hong was no longer muddling through, but gradually showing his strength to attack others.

"~~~"

Holding a silver spear, Hong was engaged in a melee among a group of genius experts. The spear danced like a large snake, incredibly strange.

Hong's unusual performance quickly attracted the attention of another expert. A sturdy female warrior wielding dual blades directly pounced towards Hong. "Torreya, not good!"

Hong's expression changed, and he thought to himself that he had been targeted by this person so quickly. However, since the other party had already attacked and he couldn't avoid it, he could only face the challenge.

"Roar!"

As the spear rotated, it was like a loach in the water, fast and swift, directly stabbing towards the female warrior who was pouncing over.

In addition to the people who came to watch the event in person, there were even more people in the universe watching through broadcasts.

In the virtual universe, above an island in the Black Dragon Mountain Island, there was a vast and extremely simple manor.

Inside the reception room.

Sitting a man wearing a deep red robe, there was a lightning mark on his brow, it was one of the top domain lord powerhouses of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Jiang Tianchen!

And next to this Jiang Tianchen, there was also a kind-looking old man with white hair.

"Hong?"

"This little guy, is he from our Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"

"Yes, Military Lord, he is from our empire." As soon as Jiang Tianchen finished speaking, the identity of this old man was clear at a glance.

This seemingly kind old man was one of the three Military Lords of the Three Axe Mountain organization in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, known as the 'Time Domain Lord', Luo.

He looked at the arena battle being broadcasted on the screen in front of him and said with emotion: "His light domain looks like it is at the eighth level, but his flexible spear has brought the light domain to such a degree that it is comparable to those little guys with a ninth level domain."

Jiang Tianchen was secretly shocked.

The Military Lord was actually so interested in this Hong.

It should be known that in front of this person, there was a being feared by millions of domain lords in the Ganwu Universe Country. Even he, a top domain lord within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, could not generate the slightest disrespect.

If he hadn't been distracted by the law of time origin and suffered a great disaster, he would probably have become an undying existence long ago. It's a pity that fate makes fools of people. The current Time Domain Lord has reached his lifespan limit and only has 20,000 years left to live.

"Do you have the information of this little guy?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Tianchen said respectfully, and quickly retrieved a piece of information. Just as he was about to explain it to the old man, the old man was attracted by the changes in the arena battle.

Looking at the arena battle being broadcasted on the screen in front of him, he said in surprise: "Hmm, that little girl has exploded!

Such a powerful blade technique, continuous, overlapping, this Hong can't resist it, oh, it's a pity,"

"Law of Light!"

On the arena in the combat arena, when Hong unhesitatingly exploded with his full strength, the female warrior Torreya who was attacking was stunned.

Two geniuses who had also crossed the threshold of the law fought evenly on the arena until the last 10 people remained.

The two were successfully shortlisted!

However, when announcing the end of the Group 161 arena battle, the sturdy female warrior Torreya's eyes were full of baleful aura when she looked at Hong.
