350: Knockout!

Virtual Universe.

Black Dragon Mountain Island, where Chen Fan's castle is located.

The special envoy from Black Dragon Holy Land had already brought the Black Dragon God Lord's reward and was preparing to withdraw.

"Lord Chen Fan, work hard and demonstrate your skills in the upcoming arena battles and the even more important pinnacle battles to bring glory to our Black Dragon Mountain Empire!"

The middle-aged man, Weirst, looked full of anticipation as he gently patted Chen Fan's shoulder.

"And to all the geniuses who entered the top ten of the preliminaries, the great God Lord has decided to bestow four star systems from the Silver Blue Empire upon you!"

"This letter of appointment contains the star systems granted to you; you can look at it later!" This powerful World Lord held a piece of parchment, his gaze sweeping over Ma Liang and the other three.

"Thank you, sir!" Ma Liang and the others said excitedly, then accepted the parchment.

"Understood, I will definitely work hard." Chen Fan nodded.

"You are all the same, the future hope of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire."

As the World Lord expert's gaze swept over them, everyone straightened their backs.

"Hmm!" Two hundred and twenty-three voices responded.

Weirst came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Thus, he left behind a group of excited Earth martial artists... Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the arena battles.

Earth time arrived on July 17, 2066, the day the arena battles began.

Virtual Universe, Qianwu Continent.

Inside a floating, colossal arena.

A resonant voice echoed throughout all the arenas—

"The first place winners from the hundred world zones in this preliminary round will directly advance. The remaining 100,000 people will participate in 1,000 groups of arena free-for-alls. Ten people surviving in each group will be considered to have passed the free-for-all."

"Then, these 10,000 people will engage in 'one-on-one battles,' and ultimately, only 900 final spots can be produced from these 10,000 people!"

"..."

Hiss!!

As soon as such a harsh rule was announced, countless gasps of cold air immediately resounded throughout the hall.

For 100,000 people to contend for those 900 spots was truly too brutal.

Moreover, these 100,000 people were super geniuses who had emerged from hundreds of millions of talents... Soon, the arena free-for-all began.

The geniuses in 1,000 groups would need to endure five days to secure the remaining spots.

Four individuals from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire passed the preliminaries and secured the first place in their world zone: 'Chen Fan,' 'Ma Liang,' 'Wang Teng,' and 'Luo Feng.'

As for the other Earth martial artists, although they all entered the top ten or top hundred in various world zones, they still needed to go through the arena free-for-all and one-on-one arena battles.

Soon, the first day of battles began.

In the arena plane specially created by the Virtual Universe, there was a vast, surging river, boundless and endless.

In the center of these rivers were giant arenas, similar to islands.

Chen Fan was quite familiar with such a layout, as he had experienced many such spaces in the exquisite jade tablet's dimension.

At this moment,

Island No. 06734 was for the battles of Groups 1 to 200, which included the battles of Hong and Fu Qingxi.

In the packed audience stands, Chen Fan and the other Earth martial artists whose arena battles were scheduled later were also seated.

They had all come to watch and cheer for these three.

Tickets for the audience stands were extremely hard to come by, but Chen Fan, with his immense wealth, managed to secure a large section.

This arena battle, bringing together tens of billions of people, was destined to be even more eye-catching than the preliminaries.

"Dear audience, hello everyone, I am ***."

A sweet and clear voice resounded throughout the entire arena area.

A blonde man with a hot figure, dressed in a black bodysuit, stood in the center of the arena.

"Next, I will introduce the one hundred geniuses of Group 22 to everyone."

"The first is Fu Qingxi, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Previously, his ranking in World Zone 96 was 35th." The beautiful female warrior announced loudly.

"Fu Qingxi!"

"Fu Qingxi!"

"Fu Qingxi!!"

The entire arena audience stands immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Spectators from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire shouted loudly, spitting as they did so.

There was even a dedicated cheering squad, very pleasing to the eye, not at all inferior to the host.

For a moment, countless men's gazes were drawn to them.

"The second, ****"

"The third, ****"

..."The seventy-eighth, Hong, from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Previously, his ranking in World Zone 88 was 2nd!"

With a whoosh.

All the people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire stood up, roaring with all their might—

"Hong!"

"Hong!"

"..."

Rumble!!

The colossal shouts were like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire arena, lingering endlessly.

Hong was the second person in a world zone, also representing the prestige of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

For this arena battle, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family had dispatched more than ten million spectators.

The purpose was to cheer for these geniuses.

"Uncle Hong, go for it!!"

"Uncle Fu, you too, go for it!!"

Chen Fan's one hundred and eighth son, Chen Bubai, shouted loudly.

Almost like stirring up a thousand waves, all of Chen Fan's sons and grandsons roared with all their might.

There were even a few toddlers, no more than ten years old, who had somehow brought in several large gongs and drums.

Boom boom boom!!

"You are the best."

Boom boom boom boom!!

"Earth martial artists are the greatest!"

"Hahaha, we must believe in them!" Chen Fan had a slight smile on his face, feeling utterly confident.

"With Hong and Qingxi teaming up, they can probably crush a whole group!" Ma Liang said.

As the top martial artist who surpassed Hong, he was very clear about the strength of the Earth martial artists.

"Haha, I didn't expect my son to also participate in such a grand event. This life is truly worth it!"

At this moment, the Ninth Army's old war god, 'Fu Fengxue,' who had already become a Cosmic-level martial artist, suddenly spoke.

His eyes often held a sense of reminiscence, as if all the past events were appearing before him... "Dear audience, the arena free-for-all is about to begin, please look forward to it!"

As soon as his words fell, a countdown began—

"10! 9! 8! ... 3! 2! 1!"

Buzz!!

Space rippled like water.

Then, figures appeared in the center of the arena, precisely the geniuses who had been introduced earlier.

"***!!"

"Hong!!"

"****!!"

"Fu Qingxi!!"

"KhaZix!!"

The high-pitched cheers from the surrounding audience instantly ignited the entire atmosphere.

This mighty momentum was like a prairie fire, uncontrollable once started!

KhaZix, with two long, curved sabers on his back, had fierce eyes like a prairie eagle, constantly observing the changes around him.

In the audience, Chen Fan watched from afar.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Chen Fan could clearly see that when Hong and Fu Qing stood shoulder to shoulder, both exuded an air of absolute confidence and ease.

It was as if the other opponents were not even in their eyes.

This was a strong confidence stemming from their very bones!

"Battle, start!"

Accompanied by a starting signal, they moved.

The one hundred genius martial artists in the middle of the arena moved instantly.

"Whoosh!"

"Swish!!"

"Slash!!"

"Hoo!!"
