Under Ling Yuwei's gaze, the Crown Prince of Jialan, Gongsun Zhi, was slowly approaching with a group of Black Armor Army.

Gongsun Zhi wore a meaningful smile on his face and said to Ling Yuwei:

"I hope I'm not interrupting you two."

Before Ling Yuwei could speak, Charles hurriedly replied:

"Naturally, you aren't interrupting; you arrived just in time."

Gongsun Zhi glanced at Charles:

"That's good then."

With that glance, it was as though the two had known each other before.

Both revealed knowing smiles on their faces.

Then, under the urging of the Black Armor Army, the nobles around Ling Yuwei were driven away.

Gongsun Zhi sat directly beside Ling Yuwei and symbolically asked:

"You don't mind me sitting here, do you?"

Seeing Gongsun Zhi's demeanor,

It was evident that even if Ling Yuwei said no, he wouldn't budge an inch.

For this, Ling Yuwei had to reluctantly move two steps away with a face of disgust.

Gongsun Zhi seemed indifferent to this.

He looked towards the duel arena and abruptly commented: 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"The view here is quite good."

"I didn't expect our Jialan King to enjoy such crude challenges, only relished by oafs."

Gongsun Zhi's words made Ling Yuwei involuntarily furrow her brow.

And Gongsun Zhi didn't stop there but continued:

"To be honest, when I heard this news, I was somewhat disappointed."

"The foremost king of Jialan Empire."

"Now actually reduced to becoming an entertainment for others."

"How utterly ridiculous."

Listening to Gongsun Zhi's mocking words made Ling Yuwei's expression change repeatedly.

With Ling Yuwei's cleverness, there's no way she couldn't hear the irony in Gongsun Zhi's words towards Lin Yi.

She couldn't understand if there was something Lin Yi had done to offend the Crown Prince.

That he would openly mock the Jialan King in front of the Eldest Prince of Ao Sheng Empire.

For some unknown reason.

Gongsun Zhi's insinuating words made Ling Yuwei's face grow increasingly unpleasant.

Though he was indeed the Crown Prince of Jialan Empire, Ling Yuwei was not at all afraid and said:

"No matter what Lin Yi has done."

"He would certainly not speak behind one's back, spreading rumors before understanding the situation."

Saying this, Ling Yuwei looked at Gongsun Zhi with disgust and asked:

"Is that right, Crown Prince?"

Seeming to feel provoked by Ling Yuwei, a man beside Gongsun Zhi suddenly glared at Ling Yuwei and said:

"What did you say?!"

Gongsun Zhi reached out to stop his subordinate from moving forward, agreeing with Ling Yuwei:

"Miss Ling is right."

"Perhaps we should first see how our Jialan King will end this farce."

After speaking, Gongsun Zhi turned his head to look at the duel arena and said nothing more.

During this delay, the entire duel arena was nearly filled with nobles and gentry from Jialan City, big and small.

Clearly, they were all attracted by this unconventional duel.

Part of Lin Yi's strength had already been witnessed yesterday.

Even Meng Yin from Ao Sheng Empire and Jun Shirong from Purple Moon Empire, who arrived later, were deeply impressed.

However, they later discovered through research that Lin Yi's strength might not be as terrifying as everyone imagined.

No matter what.

Lin Yi could not escape the fact that he is only a Tier Seven Magic Emperor.

Faced with successive demon challenges, which even includes formidable Tier Eight demons.

Therefore, everyone was very curious.

What kind of performance would Jialan Empire's youngest Jialan King present?

Meanwhile.

The Divine Son election was imminent.

This was also an opportunity to observe Lin Yi's strength.

Because so far.

No one was willing to abdicate the position of Divine Son.

…

…

As everyone eagerly awaited, the host of the Beast Fighting Arena suddenly appeared on the high platform and loudly spoke:

"Distinguished guests, dear audience."

"The exciting challenge match is about to begin."

"On behalf of the Beast Fighting Arena, I welcome all of you."

As Tang Boqi's voice fell, unexpectedly, the scene was unusually quiet.

This sudden scene made Tang Boqi slightly stunned.

But regardless, Tang Boqi had hosted for nearly ten years.

His reaction ability is far beyond ordinary people.

He instantly understood that the people present were not the usual rabble who only knew how to cheer and jeer.

He was also well aware of their purpose for coming here.

They were not there to hear him talk nonsense.

As members of Jialan City's "upper class," their emotions were naturally not something Tang Boqi could easily sway.

Based on this understanding.

Therefore, Tang Boqi directly omitted the tedious "steps," waved his hand broadly:

"Then, without further ado."

"Now let's welcome our number one challenger, Jarvis!"

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound echoed.

That was the sound of the iron door rising from the challenger's lounge beneath the duel arena.

To prevent being breached by demons.

Everything in the duel arena was forged from special magical materials.

Additionally, an Tier Nine defense array was placed below the duel arena.

Theoretically speaking.

This defense array, coupled with the magical materials used to construct the duel arena.

Their solidity could even prevent Tier Nine demons from harming the people around.

Under everyone's watchful eyes.

Jarvis, dressed in silver-gray armor, holding a great sword, slowly walked out from the lounge and arrived at the center of the duel arena.

When everyone looked at the figure covered under armor, they showed varying degrees of astonishment.

"Magic equipment!"

Even Tang Boqi was stunned by the set of equipment on Jarvis:

"Where did he get so much magic equipment?!"

Watching Jarvis armed from head to toe, even those without prowess could clearly feel its power.

At least ordinary metal armor didn't have those faint glows like those on Jarvis.

Those who experienced the first round were almost all stunned on the spot.

If Tang Boqi hadn't called out Jarvis' name.

No one would believe that this fully armed man was the same Jarvis who was nearly killed by the Bone-Eroding Beast.

Among everyone, only Ling Yuwei probably realized something, with a hint of surprise and shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

As the young lady of Linlang Pavilion.

She could easily tell if something was magic equipment.

Seeing the equipment on Jarvis, Ling Yuwei was amazed by Lin Yi's generosity and also curious:

'Where did he get so many quality magic equipment.'

As everyone discussed Jarvis' transformation, Tang Boqi stood on the high platform and shouted again:

"Alright!"

"Now let's welcome our number two challenger, Lin Yi!"

…

…

Lin Yi quietly stood behind the iron door causing a sensation from the challenger's lounge, feeling the light shining through as the door rose, and the Emperor's Charm Sword suddenly appeared and hovered in front of Lin Yi.

Through the iron door, Lin Yi could clearly see the audience seating outside, now filled with people.

Suddenly hearing Tang Boqi call his name.

Lin Yi suddenly smiled slightly and talked to himself:

"The BOSS battle is finally about to begin."

"I hope the upcoming demons won't disappoint me."

Looking at the [Celestial Pearl Fragment①] just dropped from killing the Bone-Eroding Beast in his backpack, Lin Yi slowly appeared in the duel arena amidst the public's attention...
