Chen Zhou had no idea what the purpose of the force to which the middle-aged merchant belonged was. Could it be the same as the powerhouses of the Tenth Layer Alliance? Was it to enter the Ninth Layer?

Of course, Chen Zhou's claims are purely speculative.

Just as Chen Zhou was pondering, the members of the Tenth-Level Power Alliance approached the battle arena. Chen Zhou's gaze met Zeng Yushu's.

"I heard you want to challenge me?" Zeng Yushu, the leader, said slowly.

The area around the battle platform had fallen silent, and everyone was waiting for Chen Zhou's answer.

Chen Zhou quietly watched Zeng Yushu and slowly said, "That's right, I want to challenge you."

Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, everyone gasped. The next one, Zeng Yushu, loudly replied, "I accept the challenge!" and immediately stepped onto the battle platform.

Everyone erupted in cheers, which echoed throughout the tenth level of the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm hasn't been this lively in a long time.

It has been a long time since anyone has seen Zeng Yushu fight.

For some of the audience members below, this was the first time they had witnessed Zeng Yushu, the leader of the Tenth-Level Strongest Alliance, in battle. This was because Zeng Yushu had indeed not participated in combat for many years.

Because he had always been the ceiling for people on the tenth floor in Yushu.

Chen Zhou was slightly taken aback when he saw Zeng Yushu in front of him, because his physique was slightly different from what Chen Zhou had imagined, and he was also quite old.

This not only made Chen Zhou think that the fight seemed somewhat easy, but he was also not only thin, but also not tall. His face was even covered with wrinkles, making him look like a slightly older man.

Chen Zhou was not saying that he looked down on the old man, but rather that he believed the old man's combat strength was not as strong as that of the current youth.

Chen Zhou naturally underestimated Zeng Yushu a little, and the battle platform slowly rose up at that moment.

As the battle platform rose, Chen Zhou slowly prepared for battle, while the old man Zeng Yushu remained standing still, making no move. The more Chen Zhou looked at him, the stranger he found it.

"What is this old man doing?" Chen Zhou wondered to himself.

"Why isn't he moving? Doesn't he intend to use any weapons?" Chen Zhou thought to himself.

In fact, Chen Zhou did not know that the old man Zeng Yushu had made preparations in advance. His weapon was likely also a weapon from the Shanghai store. The weapons in the Shanghai store were all a type of concealed weapon. The long needle that Chen Zhou had seen before was one of the weapons from the Shanghai store.

In other words, most of the weapons sold in the Shanghai stores were the hidden weapons that Chen Zhou had learned about from novels and TV shows in his previous life! Chen Zhou didn't know what people in this world called these weapons.

In fact, Chen Zhou thought about it again and realized that most of the people on the tenth level of the Demon Warrior had never seen a weapon from the Demon City Shop, so they naturally didn't know what it was called. For example, the attacker who defeated the defender just now used a weapon from the Demon City Shop, but no one noticed. Nobody knew how he won. Only Chen Zhou could tell.

Once the battle platform was raised, it meant the battle was about to begin. Chen Zhou saw that Zeng Yushu was still standing in the same spot with his hands behind his back, making no move.

The old man made no move, and Chen Zhou remained in place just like him, also standing there blankly. The old man looked at Chen Zhou naturally and said, "Why haven't you launched an attack yet?"

Upon hearing the old man's words, Chen Zhou replied, "Then why don't you launch an attack?"

The old man, Zeng Yushu, had eyes that clearly showed he was a veteran of countless battles. He calmly said, "Wait for you to launch your attack."

"Why wait for me to launch the attack?" Chen Zhou asked.

The people below the fighting platform watched the battle with tension, but the battle was not as complicated as they had imagined. The two people actually stood far apart from each other and were chatting from the beginning.

This battle did not start as people expected.

Instead of fighting, the two started chatting a few meters apart. Both of them stood there relaxed and showed no intention of launching an attack.

This made those watching the fight very anxious. What were these two trying to do?

“Because you are the junior, I will let you make the first move against me,” Zeng Yushu said slowly to Chen Zhou.

Upon hearing Zeng Yushu's words, Chen Zhou sensed that things were not so simple, so he retorted directly, "I don't need you to give way."

"In that case, I'll get started," Zeng Yushu said reluctantly.

"I couldn't ask for more," Chen Zhou replied.

The battle between the two was about to erupt. Just moments before, the audience thought they were negotiating, but the next moment, they charged forward. Both were moving at the same speed, quickly crossing half of the fighting platform. They collided violently.

Strangely, neither of them used any weapons.

Both men attacked with their fists, and it was clear that the old man was weaker than Shenzhou. Their fists collided, but the old man was not far behind. He simply took a step back, while Chenzhou took another step forward.

Chen Zhou took a step forward, and the old man took a step back. At this moment, everyone below the stage thought that Chen Zhou had the upper hand, but in fact, Chen Zhou was at a disadvantage. Because Chen Zhou's step forward put him within the range of the old man's body.

In fact, Chen Zhou is now very vulnerable to attack by the old man because Chen Zhou's leg is already underneath the old man's leg.

Just then, the old man swept his leg forward, and Chen Zhou immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.
