283: Divine trials lead to consensus.

"Then you be careful yourself."

Pike heard what Jiang Chuan said, didn't say much more, just patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder, and then turned and left the area.

The Divine Emissary looked at the departing Pike and sneered, not taking Pike seriously at all.

The Divine Emissary watched as the high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals present began placing their bets, nodding in satisfaction. As soon as his voice trailed off, no one was allowed to continue betting; the formal competition was about to begin.

"If you want to become the Captain of the Law Enforcement Team of the Eastern Enforcement Squad, you must defeat this group of people. As long as you win, the position of Captain is yours. But once you fail to defeat this group..."

The Divine Emissary cast a cold glance at Jiang Chuan and slowly spoke. He left the rest unsaid, confident that Jiang Chuan would understand.

After the Divine Emissary finished speaking, he immediately ordered his confidant to take Jiang Chuan away to the gladiatorial arena.

The reason the Divine Emissary disliked Jiang Chuan was naturally because Jiang Chuan was not his trusted subordinate. After all, only his own confidants could complete his tasks without reservation. He set up such a difficult trial because he wanted Jiang Chuan to retreat in the face of difficulty, or to eliminate Jiang Chuan entirely and then groom his own trusted subordinate to become the Captain.

The reason the Divine Emissary and Pike appeared to have a good relationship was naturally because they needed to cooperate on certain missions for a few years. Now that Pike was about to leave, he was unwilling to give the Divine Emissary face, especially since Pike's future status would be no less than that of the Divine Emissary. Furthermore, Pike used his identity as Fuck You to pressure him this time, instantly making the Divine Emissary uncomfortable, thus leading to a complete breakdown of their relationship.

Jiang Chuan was Pike's subordinate, so the Divine Emissary naturally disliked him and wanted to eliminate Jiang Chuan and replace him.

After Jiang Chuan arrived at the arena, he saw that there were more than a dozen gladiators inside the entire venue.

Each of these gladiators bore numerous injuries, clearly indicating they were battle-hardened warriors. At the same time, the gladiators looked at Jiang Chuan with chilling killing intent and coldness, determined to tear him to shreds.

Jiang Chuan could sense from their aura that the strength of these guys was extraordinary; the weakest among them could reach the level of special forces soldiers from various countries, while the strongest few were fully capable of reaching the tier of elite special forces.

"Welcome our warrior to the stage."

The Divine Emissary's voice slowly rang out, and then a dozen gladiators were seen slowly entering the arena.

As the group entered the arena, all the high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals around the stands began shouting excitedly.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Although the high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals in the stands did not know who this special gladiator was, they did not care, shouting with bloodthirsty fervor.

Jiang Chuan, currently inside the arena, naturally heard these shouts, but he paid them no mind.

"Go out now."

The Siamese man next to Jiang Chuan said this to him.

"Alright."

Jiang Chuan said nothing more and walked straight out into the arena.

"Holy cow, this kid is so skinny, is he here as a joke?"

"Exactly, I feel like I could beat this guy."

"A guy like this is the weakest existence in the arena."

"Thank you, Prince, for allowing us to make a huge profit."

... The high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals in the stands looked at Jiang Chuan's thin physique and felt he was completely vulnerable, certain he would be easily defeated.

Jiang Chuan naturally heard the mocking voices of these people, but he completely disregarded their words.

"Begin."

The Divine Emissary slowly spoke, and immediately everyone surrounding the stands began cheering excitedly.

"A few of you go meet him first."

The fighters inside the arena were all very proud and did not intend to swarm Jiang Chuan. A few of the top gladiators looked toward the weaker ones and issued a direct order.

"Understood."

These weaker gladiators dared not refute their words and looked toward Jiang Chuan.

"Kill!"

The gladiators who dared to participate in this contest naturally held their own lives lightly. They coldly uttered a single word, and the next moment, several gladiators simultaneously launched an attack against Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan watched the rushing gladiators. He neither dodged nor flinched. Just as they closed in on him, Jiang Chuan moved. He skillfully evaded their attacks, and the next moment, Jiang Chuan suddenly threw a punch. The terrifying fist carried a strong gust of wind, instantly striking one of the men in the head.

Bang.

With that single punch, the opponent instantly collapsed to the ground, his condition unknown.

After Jiang Chuan dealt with one man, he did not stop but continued his assault.

In less than a minute, all the gladiators had fallen around Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan looked completely at ease.

Swish!

At this moment, the entire arena fell completely silent, and the crowd in the stands looked at Jiang Chuan in disbelief.

"A bunch of trash."

The other gladiators inside the arena watched Jiang Chuan effortlessly dispose of the weakest fighters. Although their gazes toward Jiang Chuan became slightly more serious, they still did not take him to heart, believing he was not their match.

"Let's move."

The gladiators on the field exchanged glances, clearly intending not to waste any more time. They decided to rush forward all at once and eliminate Jiang Chuan together.

Jiang Chuan watched the gladiators charging at him, and his expression changed slightly.

During the fight, Jiang Chuan allowed himself to be hit by the gladiators. Of course, this was all so he wouldn't expose his true strength; otherwise, Jiang Chuan could have easily defeated these guys.

Bang, bang, bang.

After the battle concluded, Jiang Chuan was wounded, but all the gladiators lay defeated at his feet; not a single person was his match.

"Brilliant."

Pike saw that although Jiang Chuan was injured, he had defeated everyone arranged by the Divine Emissary, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Damn it."

The Divine Emissary's expression darkened when he saw that Jiang Chuan had actually won the contest, but his face quickly became calm again.

The Divine Emissary called Jiang Chuan and Pike to leave the area with him.

"Come with me."

The Divine Emissary said this to Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan immediately agreed.

Jiang Chuan and the Divine Emissary talked about many things, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

The members of the Law Enforcement Team would be arranged by the Divine Emissary, and the Divine Emissary would not assign Jiang Chuan many tasks. Jiang Chuan could do whatever he wanted. At the same time, the Divine Emissary could not arbitrarily arrange duties for Jiang Chuan, and when Jiang Chuan was needed to complete a mission, he had to be notified in advance.
