"Both sides prepare." As the hoary voice sounded, Long Kongkong immediately tensed up.
The assassin on the other side disappeared on the spot almost instantly, becoming invisible!
Generally speaking, conducting a martial contest on a platform-like battlefield is somewhat unfair to assassins. In lower-rank contests, the arena would make adjustments to favor assassins. But at a level above the 7th Rank, assassins themselves already have a range of ways to conceal themselves and make use of the terrain, reducing the importance of the environment. For instance, invisibility, a skill that assassins of this level must master.
The opponent disappeared, but Long Kongkong wasn't idling. A platinum glow flickered, and the Fear and Sorrow Adamantine Cathedra appeared instantaneously.
A moment ago, the spectators found him somewhat comedic. But at this moment, as his already handsome and upright figure donned the platinum Adamantine Cathedra, his aura shifted instantaneously.
