That person was wearing a sky-blue long robe and had his hands behind his back. He wasn’t like the other humans who appeared curious about their surroundings.
Intuition told Zhuo Bufan that this person was very likely the big boss – Song Chenxing!
Passing through the crowded crowd to his side, Zhuo Bufan was already infected by his calm aura.
“Hello Sir, I guess you must be Song Chenxing.”
The man glanced sideways at Zhuo Bufan and gave a very cold “Mn” before looking back straight ahead.
Zhuo Bufan felt a little embarrassed, and he could not find another topic for a moment.
“Big Boss Song, so you are here. You should be the first human to fight, right?”
“Yeah, what about you?”
“I’m second. I hope I can last one more round than before this time.”
Zhuo Bufan licked his lips. He finally experienced what it meant to be as insignificant as dust now.
“Heh, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuo Bufan. I’ve also signed up to participate in the group arena.”
He originally thought that there would still be no response this time, but he did not expect that the girl who came later to chat with Song Chenxing actually took the initiative to come in front of Zhuo Bufan.
“Aiya, you’re that Little Budding Sprout. I’m Anasu. Aika hasn’t come over yet. This is Big Boss Song!”
Zhuo Bufan was so excited that he was about to cry. He could finally meet someone familiar. This time, he did not have to pretend to be blind with his eyes open anymore.
“When will the group arena start?”
“Around 10 minutes. I’ll go get ready.”
Zhuo Bufan and Anasu looked at the departing back of Song Chenxing with faces full of anticipation.
“Has the Big boss always been so cold?”
“This is the group arena, mind you. Don’t tell me you’re going to giggle and laugh over here? You’ll know what’s going on once you watch the live broadcast later.”
With Anasu accompanying him, Zhuo Bufan was not as nervous and afraid as before. Fortunately, all the races were not teleported to the same area.
Otherwise, before the group arena even started, there would already be chaos.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Zhuo Bufan saw a square stone platform appear under him. There was a brazier burning at the four corners of the stone platform, but the color of the fire was blue.
“It’s here, it’s here. Big Boss Song, you can do it!”
Anasu could not control herself and started to cheer for Song Chenxing. Zhuo Bufan was also very excited in his heart.
However, as the fifth human to go on stage, the first four matches were especially important to him. He wanted to see if there were any patterns to these four matches.
Song Chenxing was at the northeast corner of the stone platform, and the person fighting against him was not of the same race.
“The Orc race, this race is especially vicious. I hope my big brother can deal with them.”
“That’s right. Someone not from our race coming up right from the start. This opening is not advantageous to our big boss.”
Zhuo Bufan’s gaze was all on Song Chenxing. He wanted to see how he would deal with this Orc.
After the countdown of three seconds ended, Song Chenxing stood where he was without moving. The Orc Race, who was not slow in movement, charged forward with a spiked club made out of wolf fangs in his hand.
In terms of size alone, the two of them were very different. They were simply not competitors of the same weight category.
Just when Zhuo Bufan thought Song Chenxing had fallen into danger, there was a sudden turn of events.
No matter what, he was a big shot of the human race. If he did not possess any true ability, how could he represent the human race in the arena matches?
The moment the orc swung the Wolf Fang Club down, Song Chenxing’s figure flashed. His speed was so quick that it was almost undetectable by the naked eye.
By the time Zhuo Bufan reacted, Song Chenxing had somehow appeared behind the orc.
The spiked club in the orc’s hand only hit the stone platform. It did not hurt Song Chenxing at all.
Zhuo Bufan heard the cheers of his clansmen behind him, and he also felt elated by the atmosphere.
On the stone platform, the orc realized that his attack had failed. He quickly turned around and shot towards Song Chenxing.
However, Song Chenxing merely stomped on the ground and flew tens of meters into the air. Adopting an eagle pose, he stomped down hard on the orc’s face.
Although there was a huge difference between the two of them, Song Chenxing’s damage was not low. The Orc did not gain the upper hand and was even pushed back.
Song Chenxing did a backflip and landed on the ground without even frowning.
The orc roared and attacked again with heavy steps. Song Chenxing used his agility as a human to his advantage, toying with the cumbersome orc.
In the end, relying on the inertia of the orc’s burst momentum, he forced the latter off the stone platform and obtained the victory for the first battle, which was also the first victory of the human race.
And the one who followed closely behind to carry out the arena battle was Anasu. Zhuo Bufan also gave her some sincere encouragement.
“Aiyaya, did This Penniless Monk come late? Has Benefactor Anasu gone on stage?”
Zhuo Bufan suddenly turned around and saw a monk wearing a kasaya and holding a staff!
“Tri… pitaka?” Zhuo Bufan did not expect to be able to see his true appearance here.
“This must be Young Benefactor Zhuo. Amitabha!”
“Take a look at my performance later. There’s no suspense to the first round!”
The second match began. Anasu stood directly in the middle of the stone platform. The one competing against her were again not of the same race, but from the Centaur Race.
Thinking about the description he read regarding the Centaur Race, Zhuo Bufan instantly broke out in cold sweat for Anasu.
Such a beautiful lady should be held in the palm of one’s hand and cherished. How could she be forced in this arena to shout and kill?
“Don’t be nervous, Benefactor Zhuo. You will see how powerful Benefactor Anasu is later.”
Zhuo Bufan was extremely puzzled. No matter how he looked at it, Anasu was just a weak girl.
“Are you just spouting nonsense? From what I can see, the situation in the arena is not looking good.”
“Don’t worry, Anasu’s Goddess’ Faulds is not a joke!”
Another voice rang out. Without looking, Zhuo Bufan guessed that the owner of the voice should be Aika. Listening to the tone of her voice, it was exactly the same as the messages she sent in the channel.
“Goddess’ Faulds… What is that?”
“Look, it’s out!”
Zhuo Bufan quickly turned around and saw Anasu standing in the center of the ring with her eyes closed. Her lips seemed to be muttering something, but unfortunately, he was too far away to hear it.
Something seemed to be slowly rising beneath her feet!
Just as Zhuo Bufan could not figure out the situation, it was like a strong wind was blowing over. With Anasu as the center point, a layer of protective barrier as thin as cicada wings actually appeared around her.
The full appearance of this protective cover was akin to an upside down version of a ladies’ gown. The upside down dress swayed like a flower in the wind.
However, such a thin layer, would it be able to endure the Centaur Race’s power?
The Centaur roared loudly. Their anger was ignited, and they rushed towards Anasu without any misgivings.
Just when Zhuo Bufan thought that everything was over, the people behind him cheered once again. Even Tripitaka, who was beside him, could not maintain his calm.
“The Goddess’ Faulds is indeed powerful. The Centaur Race has gone silly!”
Zhuo Bufan moved his hand away from his eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes just now because he did not want to see a bloody scene.
However, what he saw now was only the Centaur piercing through the veil to appear on the other side.
As for Anasu, she was unharmed!
“What’s going on?” Zhuo Bufan regretted as to why he had to close his eyes just now, causing him to miss the most exciting scene..
