330: shock

In the First-Year Field.

Bai Ziting’s words completely ignited the atmosphere in the arena, and at the same time, made the gazes converging on Wang Chen even more fervent.

All the fourth-year students around the ring, including those Prodigy experts of other races on the First-Year Field Ranking, showed displeasure on their faces.

He had just arrived at the First-Year Field, hadn’t even shown his strength, and already wanted to stand on the ring as the champion, accepting challenges from all of them.

Since the Great Arena was established, no one had ever been so arrogant.

Even Bai Ziting, when he first entered the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and first came to the Great Arena’s First-Year Field, he slowly fought his way up by challenging one match after another.

Wang Chen.

How could he be so presumptuous as to make such a bold statement?!

Just because he caused two Heavenly Dao announcements? Just because he, a Rank 3, killed a 5th Rank? He dares to look down on them, these Prodigies?

Every single person present had a record of fighting above their level; although not as exaggerated as Wang Chen’s, a Rank 4 defeating an ordinary 5th Rank was commonplace.

Originally, the fourth-year students were already unconvinced by the rumors circulating in the Human Fortress that Wang Chen was the number one Prodigy of Blue Star.

Now, with Bai Ziting’s actions, their anger was further ignited.

However, at this moment, everyone, upholding their status, did not step forward first to challenge Wang Chen, as it would be beneath them.

After all, Wang Chen was only a first-year student, and his strength had just reached Rank 3 not long ago. For them, who were Rank 4 and 5th Rank, to go up would be somewhat like bullying the younger.

They were all waiting for someone to be the first to step forward and test Wang Chen’s level.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Su Manager was also somewhat dumbfounded after hearing Bai Ziting’s words.

To immediately become the champion and accept challenges from everyone, in his opinion, was truly too presumptuous!

This instantly put Wang Chen on the spot.

For a moment, Su Manager did not rashly agree, but instead looked at Wang Chen.

Although Bai Ziting could represent Wang Chen’s opinion, this matter still needed Wang Chen’s nod, otherwise, it might become a big joke.

However, upon seeing this, Su Manager’s eyes narrowed.

Wang Chen’s expression was as usual, still the humble and gentle look from before.

The angry gazes of those around him, and the unoptimistic remarks from the audience, did not affect him in the slightest.

“Wang Chen…”

Seeing this, Su Manager hesitated before speaking.

But before he could finish, Wang Chen quickly interjected:

“Su Manager, Senior Brother’s intention is also my intention.”

“I’ll have to trouble you to help arrange it.”

Although his Senior Brother’s words just now directly drew the full wrath of many fourth-year students and Prodigy experts present, he was only slightly surprised by it.

Moreover…

Being able to face the powerful fourth-year students and Prodigy experts in the First-Year Field made Wang Chen feel his blood boiling at this moment.

Precisely because of this, he did not feel fear; instead, a fervent Battle Intent surged within him.

“This… Alright!”

Feeling the immense Battle Intent gathering around Wang Chen, Su Manager finally nodded.

“That’s right.”

Bai Ziting, who was beside him, stepped forward and smiled as he patted Su Manager’s shoulder.

“Old Su, you have to have faith in my Junior Brother!”

“Don’t forget, everything proceeds as usual!”

As he spoke, Bai Ziting subtly winked at Su Manager.

“This…”

Su Manager nodded with a bitter smile upon hearing this.

He naturally understood Bai Ziting’s hidden meaning.

It was nothing more than to announce this news to the entire Great Arena, attracting more people to watch the battle.

In the past, he and Bai Ziting had often used this method to earn some extra money.

But today, he felt things would get very big!

Moreover, although Bai Ziting seemed full of confidence, Su Manager still lacked some confidence in Wang Chen.

However, since things had come to this, he could only proceed according to the usual arrangements.

Soon.

The news that Wang Chen had appeared in the Great Arena’s First-Year Field to accept challenges from all Prodigies in the First-Year Field swept through the entire Great Arena and the entire Human Fortress like a hurricane.

...

...

“Interesting!”

“Wang Chen wasn’t satisfied with causing two Heavenly Dao announcements two days ago; now he even wants to step on the faces of the old fourth-year students to make a name for himself again?”

“This little fellow, his guts are too big, aren’t they?!”

In the Bear Country Garrison area of the Human Fortress, a burly man showed an intrigued expression upon hearing his subordinate’s report.

This person was Charles, a Wang-level expert from Bear Country.

After his words fell, a crisp voice immediately resounded in the room.

“Grandpa.”

“I think Wang Chen is probably going to take a big fall this time.”

The speaker was a woman in battle armor. She had a graceful figure and beautiful features, with long hair tied into a single ponytail, looking full of heroic spirit.

This woman, named Talia, was a top Prodigy of this generation from Bear Country, and also Charles’s biological granddaughter.

Her name, in the Bear Country’s meaning, carried the connotation of a female war god, and her own strength lived up to Charles’s expectations.

Having just entered her fourth year not long ago, Talia’s strength had already reached Six-Turn, ranking among the top fifty in the Great Arena’s Intermediate Field, and among the top students in the entire Human Fortress.

Moreover, Talia was also Bear Country’s designated participant for this year’s Global Prodigy Competition.

“You must not underestimate this little fellow. The fact that he can ascend the Ten Thousand Realms Prodigy Ranking means his talent has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao.”

Charles, hearing the slight disdain in Talia’s words, couldn’t help but admonish her.

“What if his talent is strong? Wang Chen is still too young after all.”

Talia snorted lightly, saying indifferently.

These past two days, she had heard so many stories and rumors about Wang Chen that her ears were almost calloused.

“Young?”

“This kid, this year, has already been named by those old fellows from Dragon Country to participate in the Global Prodigy Competition selection. Maybe in a few months, he will become your biggest opponent for the championship.”

Charles looked at Talia with doting eyes, advising her.

“So what? I admit his talent is strong, but in just a few months, he absolutely cannot catch up to me.”

Talia lifted her fair chin, her words filled with extreme confidence.

They were all Prodigies, and Wang Chen was three years younger than her; how could Talia be convinced by her grandfather’s emphasis?

And at the same time.

In a courtyard in the northern living area of the Human Fortress.

A young man in a black samurai uniform was wiping a long sword.

He had a feminine appearance, a high nose bridge, and when his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, he exuded a sinister, viper-like aura.

This man, named Takizawa Hideaki, was a fourth-year Prodigy from Sakura Country who came to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield for training.

Beside Takizawa Hideaki, another man also dressed in a samurai uniform was bowing and reporting the situation to him.
