Chapter 550: Enthusiastic Cheers
"But that's normal. Captain Ling can't be described by common logic; he's a monster beyond reason!"
"Indeed, while Li Chaoge, Saint Luni, and Norton are strong and promising, they're still within comprehension. But Captain Ling is something else; his displayed combat power is just too outrageous."
"It'll give those punks from the evil organizations something to experience firsthand."
"I heard this Deathmatch Tournament was initiated by the evil organizations specifically to kill Captain Ling."
"If I were the Demon Arrival Organization, I'd do the same. Who would dare let a monster like Captain Ling fully develop? His basic skills are already so exaggerated; if his innate talent continues to evolve in the future, what would that lead to!?"
"Hiss! Now that you mention it, I can't help but shiver—imagine all basic skills at SS level, or even SSS level..."
"Alright, that's too much. At most, all skills could reach S level; let's not overhype."
"..."
Norton's actions made everyone sigh in awe.
They also discussed the potential future path of the non-specialist wanderer.
The more they discussed, the more exaggerated it seemed.
How could there be someone who continuously evolves their innate talent!?
It's too unbelievable!
"Alright, let's gather."
At this moment, General Li clapped his hands softly, gathering the participants.
Reserve members from armies of ten nations participated.
Each team had five people.
In total, there were fifty people.
And the Demon Arrival Organization, alongside other evil organizations, also brought fifty people.
Demon Arrival.
Dark Holy Church.
Blood Hammer Guild.
Demon Advocate.
Night's Whisper.
Five organizations.
Each organization sent ten elites to compete!
This included their meticulously nurtured holy sons and daughters.
For these evil organizations, this was a true opportunity for fame!
It was also their chance to solidify their reputation, instilling fear in all the citizens.
If they won, they would gain more followers!
They could endlessly mock the national armies!
And humiliate the armies in front of the entire world!
How satisfying!
Incredibly satisfying!
This feeling was unprecedented!
"Fight seriously; your lives are at stake!"
"I won't offer comforting words, but I'll give you a warning."
"Today, some of you will die, but that's a responsibility you must bear on your shoulders!"
"I hope you'll give it your all, fighting like it's a battlefield – either you die, or I survive!"
General Li's deep voice resonated.
Many participants couldn't help but shiver inside.
These words…
were harsh yet realistic!
You have no choice but to face it!
While generals like Li usually disregarded evil organizations, they knew these organizations were steadily growing and that the talents they nurtured wouldn't be weaker than theirs!
Under these circumstances, expecting to win all fifty matches would be overly naive.
So…
bluntly put, some people here are destined to die horribly today!
This competition will be broadcast worldwide, though it won't be shown in junior high or high schools.
They understood this match would inevitably be bloody and brutal.
In the competition, every move aimed to kill, every strike to torture!
"Alright, you can enter!"
General Li waved his hand indifferently.
The crowd then entered the arena.
"General Li, before the match, instead of saying words of encouragement, you're giving such disheartening remarks. Isn't that inappropriate?"
One of the commanders couldn't help but raise an objection.
"That's where you're wrong. While my words may dampen their morale a bit, they'll at least keep them fully alert and cautious."
"If I offered encouragement, they'd only get more excited and underestimate the enemy. But with these words of warning..."
"While they may seem negative, they'll plunge them into tension and seriousness, making them cherish their lives more!"
"This is absolutely beneficial."
General Li said calmly.
If it were a normal match, he wouldn't mind saying a few encouraging words.
But this is a life-or-death battle!
A single mistake, and they could lose their lives completely, without any resurrection!
Upon death, even the core spiritual form would be utterly shattered by the opponent!
The enemy won't give you any chance to revive!
That's why General Li preferred everyone to proceed cautiously and carefully, rather than excitedly underestimating the opposition.
"Makes sense..."
"I misunderstood General Li."
The commander smiled frankly.
These words were true.
"Alright, let's head in. I want to see if those old geezers from the evil organizations are all present!"
General Li sneered, then turned to walk into the Tianxiu Arena.
...…
...…
As Ling Zhan and the others entered the arena,
whoosh!!
the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers!!
Applause like waves crashed upon everyone's ears!
Of course…
what was even more astonishing was...
"Ling Zhan! Ling Zhan!"
"Ling Zhan! Ling Zhan!"
"Ling Zhan! Ling Zhan!"
"..."
Nearly two-thirds of the audience waved small flags of the Dragon Kingdom, frantically chanting Ling Zhan's name!
This scene surprised not only General Li and the others but even those old veterans from the evil organizations in the VIP area.
Incredible!!
This non-specialist wanderer actually had such a following worldwide?
They weren't cheering for the higher-ranked participants; instead, they were cheering for Ling Zhan!
"It seems the crowd's eyes are sharp. They all recognize Ling Zhan's monstrous talent."
One of the commanders laughed.
"But who knows if the upcoming match will actually go smoothly?"
After all, Ling Zhan only defeated Liu Baixin.
Their real opponents are those level 99, top-tier evil monsters just a step away from the fourth tier!
The difference between level 99 and level 97 seems like only two levels, not much.
But as mentioned, the later the stage, the more attributes gained per level!
This means a two-level difference could result in a huge attribute gap!
It could even be compared to the difference between the second and third tiers!
Likewise,
the VIP area on the opposite side began discussions as well.
This VIP area was occupied by the second-in-command of various organizations.
All were renowned level-100 powerhouses!
At the sight of the crowd cheering for Ling Zhan, their expressions grew serious.
