200: Chapter 200 I'm Going to Fight Twenty-Five

[Ding! New team detected entering the "Kings Arena"!]

[Current number of teams in the scene: 2]

Just as the system notification faded, a pillar of white light shot into the sky from the empty ground opposite Chen You.

As the light dissipated, twenty-five Elf God Clan players with long, pointed ears revealed themselves.

Their formation was tight and their expressions wary; they were clearly a well-trained elite team.

Before Chen You could get a clear look at who they were...

[Ding! New team detected entering the "Kings Arena"!]

[Current number of teams in the scene: 3]

Another pillar of light lit up, and this time, the Roman God Clan appeared, characterized by the scaly patterns on their lower jaws.

[Ding! New team detected entering the "Kings Arena"!]

[Current number of teams in the scene: 4]

Tall members of the Titan God Clan with circular protrusions on their foreheads followed immediately after.

Then, it was as if a hornet's nest had been stirred.

[Ding! Current number of teams in the scene: 5]

[Ding! Current number of teams in the scene: 6]

...

[Ding! Current number of teams in the scene: 12]

Inside the Kings Arena, one teleportation glow after another rose and fell like a cluster of stars suddenly lighting up the night sky.

Every time the light flashed, a twenty-five-man Adventurer team would be teleported in.

Their faces still carried the excitement of having just defeated a boss, as well as curiosity toward the new scene.

However, when they saw the situation inside the arena, the expressions on their faces quickly shifted from curiosity to shock, and then to gravity.

One, two, three...

In less than a minute, the teleportation light had flashed eleven times in a row!

The once empty and deathly silent coliseum was now crowded with experts.

Aside from Chen You, who stood alone on his side, eleven full twenty-five-man teams had appeared on the field!

A total of two hundred and seventy-five people!

Their equipment was exquisite, shimmering with various colored glows, and they wore their respective guild emblems on their chests, clearly divided into three camps.

These were the elite dungeon-clearing teams of the Three Great Guilds of the Source Realm.

No one expected them to gather together in this manner at this moment!

Two hundred and seventy-five pairs of eyes, filled with scrutiny, doubt, and wariness, focused simultaneously on the solitary figure in the center of the arena.

The atmosphere of the entire arena instantly shifted from deathly silence to overwhelming pressure.

"It's him?!"

Lone Wolf Under the Moon, the leader of Moon God's Radiance's first elite team, thought of something.

He stepped forward quickly, stopping about a meter away from Chen You, and spoke with a hint of testing and respect, "Hello, are you... Lord Chen You?"

Chen You glanced at him and gave a faint nod.

He thought to himself: My ID is displayed right here, do you even need to ask?

Upon receiving a positive answer, Lone Wolf Under the Moon visibly relaxed, and his attitude became even more respectful.

"We are from Moon God's Radiance. Our Guild Leader instructed us that if we saw you, we must send her regards."

"Mm," Chen You responded indifferently.

Lone Wolf Under the Moon seemed a bit hesitant, but he couldn't help asking again:

"Um... Lord Chen You, I wonder if when you were fighting the first boss, Warlord Augus..."

"Did any stone pillars or things like that appear?"

Chen You frowned slightly. What did that mean?

Did something change after he took the First Kill?

After thinking quickly, Chen You showed a hint of confusion. "What stone pillars?"

"Oh! It seems the difficulty really was adjusted." A look of relief appeared on Lone Wolf Under the Moon's face as he said this.

"When we were first clearing it, some stone pillars appeared after Augus was killed, looking like some kind of chess game."

"But after we killed him again just now, he just fell to the ground directly. No stone pillars appeared at all."

"That's why we were able to get here so quickly."

Hearing this, Chen You understood instantly.

So that was it.

It seemed that after he got the "First Kill" and took the unique title,

The system had directly cut out that torturous chess mechanic.

Was this... a benefit for ordinary players?

He felt no waves in his heart and even felt a bit like laughing.

The system of the Source Realm was actually quite humane.

"Mm, it's indeed as you say. It was the same for me," Chen You replied casually.

"..."

The corner of Lone Wolf Under the Moon's mouth twitched.

Was it really the same?

Why does it feel like you're not relieved at all!

"Thank you for clearing that up, Lord." Lone Wolf Under the Moon tactfully stopped questioning. He immediately reported the situation here to Arrow of the Moon in the guild channel.

[Lone Wolf Under the Moon]: Guild Leader! I've seen Chen You! He's at the second boss's area. Confirmed it's him!

[Lone Wolf Under the Moon]: What do we do now? This seems to be a PVP area. People from all Three Great Guilds are here, and the atmosphere is very tense!

On the other end of the channel, Arrow of the Moon replied almost instantly.

[Arrow of the Moon: Wait for now! Do not have any conflicts! Let him do whatever he wants to do!]

[Arrow of the Moon: Whatever you do, do not cross him!]

The simple words revealed an unquestionable command.

Lone Wolf Under the Moon's heart tightened, and he immediately replied, "Understood!"

He said respectfully to Chen You, "Lord Chen You, our guild has no intention of competing with you. You go first."

After saying that, he led the Moon God's Radiance team to actively withdraw from the coliseum floor and walk toward the spectator stands, making their stance clear.

It was a posture of "Do as you please, we're just watching."

This move left the commanders of the other two guilds stunned.

At this time, Chen You's attention was entirely on the flag bearer npc.

His thoughts had changed; he felt that this might be a good opportunity.

The newbie protection period would eventually end. It wouldn't hurt to experience the PVP level of the world's top players in advance.

Even if... the opponent had quite a few people.

He set off, ignoring the two hundred and seventy-five complex gazes around him, and walked straight to the flag bearer npc.

"I want to begin the trial."

He was concise.

The flag bearer npc's gaze, hidden under its helmet, swept across the field, and its solemn, grand voice echoed throughout the coliseum.

"Warrior, you have made your choice."

"The trial of the [Kings Arena] is about to begin."

"The rules of the trial are as follows: The attribute levels of all warriors entering this place to challenge will be temporarily unified to Level 20."

"All equipment attributes and skill values will be balanced and calibrated according to their quality."

"In the form of 1v1 team combat, the winner may pass the trial and enter the next stage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other players instantly became unsettled.

"PVP?"

"Are you kidding me? PVP in a 25-man raid?"

"Does that mean... our dozen or so teams have to fight it out here? Only half can leave?"

The flag bearer npc didn't care about the players' reactions at all.

"Now..."

Its voice paused, as if performing some kind of determination, and its gaze finally landed on Chen You.

"Challenger Queue: 1."

"[Chen You] Team."

Under everyone's shocked gazes, the flag bearer npc slammed the massive war flag into the ground!

Boom!

An invisible shockwave spread out from the war flag as the center, causing the entire coliseum to tremble!

The flag bearer npc's voice took on a hint of inexplicable provocation.

"Then, according to the rules of the Monarch!"

"The Challenger Camp, [Chen You] Team, issues a challenge!"

"Of the eleven teams and two hundred and seventy-five warriors present..."

"Who dares to accept the challenge?!"
