"Don't worry, I, Min Huang, will not fail so easily!" Min Huang panted, looking at his opponent, but his thoughts were more complex than his outward appearance suggested.
Min Huang was deeply puzzled by the opponent's stamina. It seemed as if they had barely exerted themselves, which was highly abnormal, especially considering his own cultivation realm was five minor stages higher.
Even Ji Minghui noticed something was amiss. His expression turned grim. The stamina of that Grelu was incredibly formidable, showing no significant signs of fatigue. If this continued, they might lose this match too.
"No, no, I've already lost once. I can't lose a second match!" Ji Minghui clenched his fists, utterly unwilling to accept defeat.
Min Huang also knew he couldn't afford to lose. This battle had to be ended quickly.
A brown energy erupted from Min Huang's body. He finally began to utilize his martial skills, intending to leverage his realm advantage to defeat his opponent.
Powerful energy enveloped Min Huang entirely. With the infusion of spiritual power, his various abilities were significantly enhanced.
He increased his speed, wielding his mace. Brown spiritual energy formed sharp waves of light. With a leap, Min Huang gripped the mace with both hands and unleashed a terrifyingly potent attack downwards towards Grelu.
Grelu did not back down. He activated the Beast Emperor's power within him, a formidable strength gained after his job advancement. His entire being exuded immense authority, and a colossal silhouette of a beastman materialized behind him.
The gigantic beastman silhouette spread its hands and directly seized Min Huang's mace. The two forces met, creating a stalemate, and finally, with a deafening roar, the two powers generated a massive shockwave that sent both of them flying back.
However, they both quickly lunged at each other again. The two figures, transformed into streaks of light, attacked back and forth on the arena, engaging in an exceptionally fierce battle.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Both forces were incredibly powerful. Each collision was akin to an explosion. Whichever attack landed a hit would secure victory in this battle.
The power of their attacks was truly immense. A direct hit would undoubtedly have severe consequences. Yet, their strengths were nearly equal, and their combat experience was extensive, neither giving the other any opening.
But the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it became for Min Huang.
Grelu had been seeking an opportunity. With continuous offense, Grelu finally spotted a flaw in Min Huang's defense. Thus, Grelu once again unleashed the potent Beast Emperor's power, channeling all his energy into an attack infused into the mace, and brought it down upon Min Huang.
"Boom!"
Min Huang's body was sent flying by the immense force, crashing heavily against the barrier. After struggling for a few moments, Min Huang finally vanished from the arena.
The words "[Grelu Wins!]" reappeared on the entire arena, and the barrier vanished once more.
Grelu raised his mace high, and thunderous cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd. This battle had truly been heart-pounding and exhilarating.
Ji Minghui left in a daze, deeply disheartened by the failure in two consecutive matches. [Da Feng Novel Network]
"Not bad. That beastman's stamina is truly remarkable, to have worn down his opponent to the point of defeat," Leng Yue observed, having clearly identified the crucial factor.
In terms of cultivation realm, Grelu was five minor stages behind, but in other aspects, Grelu was not inferior in the slightest, especially in stamina, which was more than double that of his opponent.
Zhou Yan smiled. The heroes in his territory were not just powerful in stamina, but formidable in all aspects.
Zhou Yan stepped onto the arena and said, "Good job. Rest well, and be ready for your next match."
"Yes, Lord!" Grelu vanished from the arena. Zhou Yan then spent money to set up another arena and used an S-grade skill book as a stake to attract challengers.
This time, Zhou Yan summoned Dian Wei and said, "Don't embarrass me."
"Lord, what are you saying? I, Dian Wei, am not renowned for nothing. I will surely defend this arena for you," Dian Wei replied confidently, holding his great axe.
Seeing the crowd, Zhou Yan asked, "Is anyone interested in challenging? This is an S-grade skill book, after all. Come forward quickly if you want it."
Leng Yue found Zhou Yan's demeanor somewhat exasperating but remained silent.
"I'll look around. Let me know when you're ready to leave," Leng Yue said, intending to find a suitable arena to challenge herself.
"Alright," Zhou Yan replied.
The onlookers hesitated, but many were clearly tempted. They then produced several items, signaling their intention to challenge.
Zhou Yan examined them and finally selected a type of material, specifying the quantity before proceeding to sign the contract and commence the match.
Zhou Yan paid no attention to the ongoing arena. He moved to a nearby one, again spent money to set it up, and this time summoned Yang Zaixing.
The surrounding spectators were speechless, surprised by Zhou Yan's audacity in setting up three arenas simultaneously.
This was not all. Zhou Yan then proceeded to another arena where a match was already in progress.
Although the stakes there were not particularly appealing to him, he still produced an item and engaged in a contest with the opponent.
The crowd was once again bewildered. This person was simultaneously managing three arenas. His confidence in himself was truly immense.
"Kid, opening three arenas at once, you seem quite confident in yourself," the lord of this arena also noticed Zhou Yan's actions.
"Reasonably so. It's just that your arena is conveniently close. If I win this match, will you hand over this arena to me?" Zhou Yan inquired.
"Sure, if your hero can win, I don't mind giving it to you," the other party did not make things difficult.
"Don't worry, this will be resolved quickly," Zhou Yan said with a smile and then summoned Yan Chixia.
"Lord, is this the arena? It looks quite lively," Yan Chixia, being quite talkative, greeted them enthusiastically upon seeing the crowd.
"Less talk, more action. If you fail, you're never coming out again," Zhou Yan warned.
"Oh no, Lord, I, Yan Chixia, will definitely win. How could I possibly lose? If I lose, how can I show my face in the territory?" Yan Chixia quickly replied.
Zhou Yan saw that someone had gone to challenge Yang Zaixing. He quickly signed the contract and said, "Then you fight on your own. I have other matters to attend to."
"Don't worry, Lord, I definitely won't shame you," Yan Chixia replied.
Then, Yan Chixia looked at his opponent and said, "Young man, don't worry. I, Yan Chixia, will go easy on you. Tell me, what kind of death do you desire?"
"Go to hell!"
