#88 - The real opponent, the monsters of the universe!
Chapter 88: The Real Opponents, Monstrous Beings from All Heavens! (Third Update)
The martial arts competition has many rules.
The biggest highlight is the option to concede or abstain!
Once you realize you can't beat your opponent, you can end the fight and leave the arena by shouting "I concede."
No wonder the teachers said that the third level of the Spirit Realm has a higher safety factor.
Being able to concede or abstain is indeed very safe.
Of course, if you don't have time to shout "I concede" and are instantly killed by your opponent, you can only blame your own lack of strength.
"Wang Fei!"
After reading the competition rules, Zhao Zheng directly said to Wang Fei, "Don't go on stage later, just abstain!"
Wang Fei's face was a little pale, perhaps due to excessive blood loss.
Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Zhao."
Previously on the train, if Zhao Zheng hadn't stood up and stopped that unkillable monster, they really wouldn't have been able to cope.
In the beginning, it was also Zhao Zheng who gave the correct advice, not disturbing the monster, which allowed everyone to successfully survive the first thirteen minutes…
At this moment.
Jiang Hebin and the others completely believed the rumor.
Zhao Zheng does indeed have a different brain, capable of discerning opportunities and discovering the characteristics of monsters.
"If you find your opponent is too strong, you must also concede and abstain in time!"
Zhao Zheng added, "Don't try to be brave, it's not worth losing your life here."
The reason he didn't have them abstain directly was because the final reward settlement for this Spirit Realm was based on the team's ranking by points.
The more opponents a team defeats, the more points they get.
There is strength in numbers!
If everyone goes on stage together and defeats a few more opponents, they can always get a few more points.
Everyone nodded, looking at Zhao Zheng with gratitude.
What's the situation?
Isn't Song Haitang the strongest fighter in their team?
If even Song Haitang abstains, how are they supposed to play?
【Please enter your seating area according to your number】
A prompt popped up in everyone's left eye.
Their team had a number on the train before.
Number 96!
Following this number, they quickly found seating area 96.
The stands in this arena are divided into rows of seats.
Each row has ten seats, just enough for a team.
Moreover, each row of seats is staggered, with a certain distance between them, which can ensure everyone's privacy, and conversations will not affect people from other teams.
After finding their seats, everyone sat down one after another, waiting for the martial arts competition to begin.
Everyone was very relaxed.
Because, according to the rules of the martial arts competition, attacks are prohibited between areas outside the arena.
Whoever makes the first move is unlucky.
Even without the captain's permission, members of other teams cannot enter someone else's seating area.
So, sitting here, you don't have to worry about being ambushed from behind.
… …
When everyone sat down.
Soon, many people showed surprised expressions on their faces.
Because.
Sitting on the seats opposite everyone were countless monsters.
These monsters were all strange and bizarre, some like octopuses, some like earthworms, and some like reptiles, minotaurs…
The most exaggerated thing was that one monster was extremely huge, even sitting there, it was like a small mountain, extremely conspicuous.
"What's going on here?"
"They… aren't they the opponents we're going to face next?"
"So, in this martial arts competition, our real opponents are actually monsters?"
"In your and my eyes, they are monsters, but in their eyes, aren't we also monsters?"
"That's right, seeing them seated in an orderly manner, not disturbing each other, they obviously have extremely high intelligence, maybe the opposite is an unknown biological civilization."
"Arena of All Heavens… I see, those who come to this arena are all transcendents from various heavens, right? We humans are just one of them."
Everyone discussed.
Zhao Zheng agreed with everyone's guess.
This was also obvious.
Subsequently.
Zhao Zheng noticed that there was a vertical screen next to their seats.
It recorded the points rankings of the human area and various teams.
Currently, everyone's points are 0.
Zhao Zheng moved his fist, feeling that there might be a tough battle to fight today!
… …
The arena stands are divided into three major civilization areas.
Human civilization is just one of them.
The middle part is many arenas.
There are as many as thousands!
Setting up so many arenas is definitely to speed up the elimination process.
Otherwise, the number of civilization members present, at least several million, using one arena for martial arts, how long would it take?
Half an hour.
Passed quickly.
There was no opening ceremony, nor any fancy stuff.
Once the time was up.
The martial arts competition started directly!
Opponents appeared on thousands of arenas at the same time.
They were teleported over by the Spirit Realm.
There were humans and monsters!
Everyone met, and without saying a word, they started fighting directly!
Zhao Zheng swept his gaze around.
Under normal circumstances, the winner is decided within one or two moves.
The phenomenon of fighting inextricably and evenly matched is rare.
The first round is the elimination round.
What kind of opponent you encounter is also randomly matched by the Spirit Realm.
If you're lucky, you can match a weak one.
If you're unlucky, matching a strong one, you can only lose.
Zhao Zheng noticed that in less than a minute, there were casualties on the arena!
They were instantly killed!
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng even wanted Song Haitang to abstain.
However, before he could say the words.
A reminder popped up in his left eye.
【You are about to enter the martial arts competition, please decide whether to go on stage before the countdown ends.】
【If you have not made a choice by the end of the countdown, it will be deemed as abstention!】
【1: Go on stage.】
【2: Abstain.】
The countdown time is only 15 seconds.
Zhao Zheng was stunned.
He didn't expect that he would be the first person in the team to go on stage.
"It's my turn to go on stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he chose "1".
At the moment he made his choice, a teleportation gate appeared in front of him, enveloping him.
The next moment.
Zhao Zheng appeared in the arena in the middle area.
His opponent also appeared at the same time.
It was a spider-like monster.
Seeing Zhao Zheng, it roared and pounced over.
Zhao Zheng was not polite either, slapping it from a distance.
Fist Wind Impact!
Although this skill has been successfully upgraded to "Fist Bone Impact" under the interference of Armament Haki!
However, this does not mean that Zhao Zheng can no longer use "Fist Wind Impact".
As long as he wants, with a casual strike, he can unleash "Fist Wind".
So, when Zhao Zheng slapped this palm out, a violent hurricane instantly swept across the arena!
"Whoosh!"
Under the sway of the hurricane, the spider monster's huge body flew out and fell outside the arena.
Zhao Zheng easily won!
