"When others are increasingly skeptical of you."

"You must live well and prove them wrong."

"Anyone can give up on you, but only you must never underestimate your own abilities."

In the challenger's lounge at the Beast Fighting Arena in Jialan's South City, Lin Yi looked at Jarvis, who had already donned a suit of silver-gray armor, and spoke with feeling.

To be honest, whenever Lin Yi saw Jarvis, he couldn't help but think of himself before his rebirth.

Those words were spoken to Lin Yi by a man during a mission before Lin Yi's rebirth.

Now, these words were equally fitting for Jarvis.

Of course, it wasn't just these words.

Lin Yi was also touched by Jarvis's experiences.

Before his rebirth, Lin Yi was also struggling among the lower tiers.

At that time, how could he have had the kind of prestige he does now?

Back then, Lin Yi was invariably met with disdain wherever he went, constantly refused in dungeon runs and missions.

Although Lin Yi did not have experiences similar to Jarvis's.

At least, Lin Yi deeply felt the helplessness of people at the bottom facing both life and authority.

Everything that has happened since rebirth, at least, made Lin Yi understand one thing.

Lin Yi faced the huge iron door that separated the duel arena, and slowly said:

"One can only gain recognition from others by being strong themselves."

"Humility can't earn respect."

"Death..."

Then Lin Yi sighed deeply:

"Death doesn't solve any problems."

"Only by living can you have the chance to make those who once looked down on you regret."

"Whether it's for yourself or for your deceased family."

"You shouldn't choose death to end it all."

"What you should do is make the culprit who made you like this pay the price."

Listening to Lin Yi's words, Jarvis stared at him for a long time, unable to speak.

It was a long time before Jarvis slowly opened his mouth:

"I know what to do now."

Feeling the enormous enhancement his armor provided to his body, an unprecedented feeling filled Jarvis's being.

At the same time, it was these powers that allowed Jarvis to regain his confidence in life and the future.

But it must be said.

The absurdity of this magic equipment deeply shocked Jarvis's heart.

Clearly, he was still himself.

But now if Jarvis were to face that Tier Six Bone-Eroding Beast again, he was eighty percent confident to easily kill it.

Rather than being caught in a passive situation as before.

This shows the terrifying nature of the armor.

That's a leap in tier, slaying demons!

This was something Jarvis never dared to imagine before.

Until this moment, he curiously looked at the man in front of him, wanting to know who he really was.

Such top-quality magic equipment, handed over so casually.

To say he's just an ordinary person would likely be considered foolish.

Yet Jarvis then thought.

But does his true identity really matter?

The fact that he saved me is undeniable.

Everything now is bestowed by him.

Facing such a lifesaver, Jarvis suddenly spoke:

"If I can walk out alive today."

"Then my life belongs to the young master."

"Should the young master have any commands in the future, I will serve willingly, ready to risk my life."

This is currently the only thing Jarvis can do for Lin Yi.

Yet what Jarvis received in response was Lin Yi saying:

"What do I want your life for."

"I didn't save you so you would repay me with anything."

Lin Yi said slowly:

"If you truly wish to repay me, then just live well."

Undeniably. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

This time, part of Lin Yi's reason for saving Jarvis was due to the mission.

But the other significant reason was his sympathy for Jarvis.

Upon seeing someone facing injustice, even risking their life.

Raised under the red flag, Lin Yi naturally couldn't leave him to die.

Within his capabilities, Lin Yi didn't mind showing some enthusiasm to save a life.

…

…

As the two waited in the challenger's lounge, waiting for the challenges ahead.

They were unaware that this event had caused a huge sensation in Jialan City.

Once spread by those with intent, the news quickly spread throughout the Jialan Imperial Capital.

Many who had no major interest in so-called beast fights, upon hearing the name 'Lin Yi', decisively chose to go.

Countless dignitaries usually unseen, including the royal family of the Jialan Empire, flocked to the arena.

The excitement level undoubtedly surpassed any prior challenge.

The square outside the arena had already been strictly controlled by the Jialan Empire's army.

With some hesitating over whom to bet on in the challenge, the Jialan Empire's city guard had started to evict some irrelevant personnel.

Although this caused dissatisfaction among some people.

But faced with the formidable Jialan Royal Family, no one dared complain.

Those commoners unable to approach the duel arena could only watch from afar as luxurious beast vehicles parked in the square.

And see one after another of elegantly dressed men disembark and, led by the arena staff, enter the duel arena.

When everyone thought it was merely a chance incident.

Just a reckless person breaking the rules.

But upon seeing these rarely met 'big figures' arrive one after the other.

Even the fool understood.

This matter might not be as simple as everyone thought.

Until news of 'Lin Yi's identity got leaked by someone.

Only then did people truly realize the seriousness of the situation:

"Jialan King!!!"

A comet-like sudden rise;

Also, mysterious to the point of no one knowing his true identity yet.

One possibly a descendant of the Titan Race, successfully overcoming the Celestial Tribulation alone.

People simply couldn't connect the man causing a stir at the duel arena to the first 'Jialan King' in the history of the Jialan Empire.

The emergence of this news finally sparked people's imaginations.

Countless expressed disbelief.

Almost everyone who heard the news revealed an incredulous expression.

No one could predict.

The person who caused such a huge commotion yesterday would appear in the arena again the next day, causing another sensation.

In the audience stand of the duel arena.

Charles finally couldn't resist asking the worried-faced Ling Yuwei next to him:

"What is so good about him that you are so anxious?"

Ling Yuwei turned to glance at Charles and asked:

"Do you think that Jarvis deserves to die?"

Charles was taken aback by the sudden question.

But he instinctively responded:

"Why should it matter to me whether he deserves to die? Why ask that."

As the Crown Prince of the Ao Sheng Empire, the future heir to the emperor.

Since childhood, he had been instilled with the idea of supremacy.

Let alone an ordinary adventurer.

Even a high-ranking noble, unless directly related, in his eyes was no different than an ant.

Hearing Charles's unsurprising answer, Ling Yuwei couldn't help but reveal slight disappointment, saying:

"This is the biggest difference between you and him."

Charles was puzzled:

"What do you mean?"

He thought it was just an excuse from Ling Yuwei.

But at that moment, a sinister voice suddenly came from beside:

"Miss Ling, what a coincidence!"

"Didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

Hearing the voice, Ling Yuwei looked over, and upon seeing the person, her expression changed slightly.

The newcomer was the Crown Prince of Jialan Empire: Gongsun Zhi.
