Originally, Shulbong of the Kingdom of Kant was transformed after the descent of the gods and the vigorous promotion by the kingdom's government.

It has now become one of the most well-known cities in the world.

People from all over the world flocked to the Kingdom of Kant.

Large numbers of residents gathered on the city's main thoroughfares, and ships came and went at sea in an endless stream.

Horse-drawn carriages shuttled back and forth, and the roads leading in all directions were teeming with people.

In fact, after the last war, Shulburne has never been fully rebuilt.

Therefore, this land was far less prosperous than other cities in the kingdom.

Of course, most people who come here are not here for the former prosperity of Shulburn.

Instead—

"oh--!!!"

A roar of ecstatic cheers erupted in the arena, breaking through the towering city walls and soaring towards the edge of the city.

Even those who had just caught a glimpse of the edge of the arena could clearly hear the continuous cheers, which fueled their eager and impatient hearts.

The arena was already packed with people, with spectators shoulder to shoulder, all gathered together.

The stadium, with its hundreds of tiers of seating, can hold an unknown number of people.

Every cheer and roar seemed to shake the entire city of Shulburn, the sound waves engulfing the sky.

After a long period of promotion, the Arena of the Gods has become very mature.

Today, many people come to Shulbong not just to catch a glimpse of the King of Gods.

They even came specifically to watch this fierce battle where top players from around the world gathered.

At this moment, a woman stood in the center of the arena, receiving the gazes of countless visitors.

She wore a long sword at her waist, one hand gripping the hilt tightly, exuding an imposing aura.

Her long, dark gray hair fluttered in the wind, dancing in the air.

Her gaze was firm, her breathing steady, and her aura was as sharp as a sword pointing straight ahead.

The woman remained expressionless, her gaze sweeping across the arena.

Looking at the dozens of burly warriors in heavy silver armor standing beside him, he showed no fear whatsoever.

One person facing dozens, especially a woman of exceptionally outstanding appearance.

This scene is so exciting it's irresistible.

As they watched the woman's figure, someone in the surrounding audience suddenly shouted:

"Look! Isn't that Countess Joanna Vantney?"

"I didn't expect even she to participate in the arena. Is this count also planning to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

"It's said that she's the aunt of the King of Kant, and she's still single!"

"What are you thinking? That's a genuine fourth-tier warrior!"

Nowadays, in this era, the variety of entertainment options is extremely limited.

Generally speaking, entertainment options are quite similar across different countries.

It's nothing more than drinking, horse racing, gambling, and so on.

Although there are experts at the third and fourth levels in every profession, most people rarely see one in ten years.

Not to mention witnessing their strength firsthand.

However, with the rise of the Arena of the Gods, strong individuals from all over the world are willing to gather here and showcase their talents.

So much so that many ordinary people traveled thousands of miles to Shulbong just to witness these masters' battles and squeeze into the arena's spectator seats.

In fact, it's not just ordinary viewers who think this way; most experts above the third rank also share similar thoughts.

After all, there were many spectators, including quite a few wealthy merchants and nobles.

This also became an opportunity to showcase personal value and demonstrate hidden strengths in front of others.

If you catch the eye of a wealthy or noble person, you might be recruited as a bodyguard or personal guard.

Even if that doesn't work, accepting an invitation from a mercenary group is still a way to find a job.

Meanwhile, the battle had already begun below, and everyone's attention was focused on Joanna.

Joanna gripped her sword in one hand, took a deep breath, and stared at the dozens of heavily armored warriors with blank expressions.

The next moment, a cold light flashed, and she drew her longsword from its sheath, wielding it in front of her with a solemn expression.

Joanna is different from ordinary challengers,

In terms of fame, Joanna is the king's aunt.

In terms of status, she was a true countess.

In terms of strength, she is already a fourth-tier warrior at a young age.

Before long, they may even become rarer and more powerful fifth-tier warriors.

Therefore, Joanna came here with only one goal.

With a heavy clang of armor clashing, dozens of armored soldiers, wielding heavy swords and dragging their heavy steps, charged toward her.

Huge clouds of dust billowed up with each step the soldiers took, the oppressive feeling like a boulder suddenly falling, sending a shiver down one's spine.

However, the next moment, a gray-black figure darted through the armored vehicles, like an elegant river flowing through jagged rocks.

Buzz—

The cold blade clashed with the iron armor, sparks flying, and the distinctive, piercing sound of metal echoed in the air.

As Joanna moved among them, the soldiers turned around.

Using the momentum from its massive body, it swung its greatsword at every inch of the ground beneath her feet.

Boom—Boom—

A series of chaotic, earth-shattering sounds echoed in the center of the arena as Joanna skillfully weaved through the crowd, perfectly dodging all the attacks.

Then, she flipped over, leaped into the air, swung her longsword, and slashed at the soldiers' bodies again.

In the blink of an eye, deep scratches were already visible on the armor of one or two soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers' bodies were severed from the waist.

Countless pulverized white mixtures tumbled in the bright red blood, crashing into the rising dust before falling to the ground.
