A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 848 - 834: Arena Battle!

The expressions of the two people who stepped into the arena were extremely fascinating at this moment, one might even say they were a bit dazed. Two beams of light shot down from the sky, landing on them. One of them suddenly had an oddly-shaped greatsword in his hand, exuding a menacing aura.

However, the other person wasn't so lucky; he only got a broken tree branch, standing on the arena looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Oh, look at our warriors. One of them received the Storm Beheading Greatsword, making him look terrifying like a wild bull, while the other one, uh... well, although I hate to admit it, he got... a tree branch!

Next, let the match begin."

The ball of light shimmered continuously, like a professional commentator, describing the situation on the arena. After it announced the start of the match, a layer of purple electric net instantly grew within the blue light screen, shrinking toward the center at an extremely slow speed.

This represented that the space available for movement for both of them was getting less and less, and judging by the look of that electric net, if their cleavage touched it, they'd be instantly burned to a crisp.

"Watch our exciting first match, the Electric Net Death Struggle. The rule on the death struggle arena is that within the stipulated time, one must decide life and death, which means when the electric net shrinks enough to burn them both to death!

Isn't it exciting?

Let's see what kind of unexpected performance our two gladiators will have? Will one sacrifice himself to let the former companion survive, or will he strike mercilessly..."

Sizzle sizzle...

The electric net kept shrinking, accompanied by the ball of light's commentary, reducing the range of movement for the two. As followers of Boss Bei, they naturally knew each other, and even got along well. Now suddenly on the dueling stage, forced into a life-and-death battle, anyone would feel a bit uncomfortable.

But as the electric net kept getting smaller, the two had no choice but to start getting closer.

Finally.

When the electric net was only about five or six square meters, the one with the greatsword glanced around overhead and finally couldn't resist taking action.

"Sorry, brother."

He shouted and raised the giant sword, slashing forward. The opponent's tree branch didn't stand a chance of resisting, and in an instant, the greatsword chopped the head off. A simple duel ended here.

The ball of light flickered with multicolored lights, as if cheering for the victor: "Congratulations to our victor, the Giant Sword Barbaric Bear! Uh, although the name is a bit strange, we do need to give our victor a nickname. As the victor, take your reward and... see if anyone is willing to bet heavily on you."

As the duel ended, a piece of armor glowing with black-purple light slowly descended from the sky and finally adorned the man's body. Wang Shenghua saw the armor and quietly said to Baiyu, "Is this a magical item?"

Baiyu replied, "I'm not sure either, but it seems that an ordinary magical item wouldn't have such a powerful aura. Haven't you noticed that after putting on the armor, his entire presence is different?"

Upon hearing Baiyu's words, Wang Shenghua also noticed that after putting on the armor, his entire aura was different, more vigorous than some powerful martial artists.

And after he donned the armor, the ball of light again emitted a sound: "The first duel has come to an end. Although the outcome was decided in a flash, we could still feel the peril within.

Next, let's have him take a rest, and welcome the next two warriors!"

The ball of light shimmered brilliantly.

However, long after it finished speaking, no one dared to step forward. After all, stepping onto the stage meant deciding life and death with another person. It amounted to only a fifty percent survival rate, and what if your opponent turned out to be someone really formidable?

If, after going up, you find the boss is your opponent, then it would be quite embarrassing.

"It seems everyone is still not accustomed to the rules and atmosphere of the battlefield. We host the battlefield mainly to make people fight. Besides the death struggle, there are many ways, and even in death struggles, the strengths are balanced on both sides.

Just like what happened before.

If there's a great disparity in strength, there will be enhancements in other aspects, maybe in weapons, equipment, or perhaps other forms. During the night of battle, anything you can't think of, you can achieve.

Anything you want, you can win here.

Wealth, status, power, lifespan... anything abstract or tangible, you might obtain. For instance, our Giant Sword Barbaric Bear just now, the power he possesses now is comparable to a Level Two Mutant in your world!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly unsettled.

It's known that all these years, Boss Bei could hold the leader position in Black Water Bay so solidly because he was a Level Two Mutant. For those who roam the wasteland year-round, struggling for their lives, strength is indeed the greatest allure.

And now, here lies an opportunity to soar to new heights.

Someone already tested it just now, and it indeed worked. It means as long as you step on this arena, there will definitely be a way to win, and you will have a slim chance of survival no matter what.

Boss Bei furrowed his brows, feeling a subtle urge. A long-standing obsession brewed in his heart, and after witnessing that mysterious man before, and people like Baiyu, this obsession grew more intense.

He wants to find out where these people came from.

They don't seem like wasteland dwellers at all.

Finally, there's a chance now, perhaps the only chance in his life to uncover the truth.

If he doesn't seize it, he might die with regret.

At this moment.

He's already made a decision, saying to his subordinates around him, "By now, I can't restrain you anymore. Anyone who wants to go, just go. This is an opportunity for you to change your fate, but it might also cost you your life. Don't blame me for not warning you."

After Boss Bei spoke, the crowd instantly became agitated. Their interest had already been piqued for a long time, but there was still some hesitance. After Boss Bei's words, their last bit of hesitation was dispelled.

Immediately, one person stepped into the blue light screen.

And he was none other than Boss Bei's confidant, Earth Fire.

Just as he turned to see who his opponent was, he happened to meet Baiyu's face.

"You... why is it you?" Earth Fire looked at Baiyu, his face gradually becoming very uncomfortable.

He couldn't possibly be a match for Baiyu.

From various clues, he had already deduced that Boss Bei was definitely threatened by Baiyu before; otherwise, he wouldn't go through the trouble to come here. It means Baiyu must be stronger than Boss Bei, and not just by a little bit.

That's why Earth Fire felt so uncomfortable.

In terms of strength, he's definitely not Baiyu's match, and the gap between them is certainly large, which is why he feels so uncomfortable.
