The tournament lasts for a month. Due to the tournament's mechanism, the person who defends the title first is actually at a disadvantage. Therefore, the tournament is divided into three time slots: morning, noon, and evening. During these time slots, everyone can line up to challenge the title. Once the time is over, the tournament closes, and you can only wait for the next time slot to open or wait until tomorrow.
This leaves a lot of room for maneuver. If the person defending the title is clever, they can control the duration of the battle. If they can drag it out well, they can only have a maximum of three battles a day.
Furthermore, due to the explosive popularity of arena battles in recent years, a large number of people have come to compete. As a result, the Saiya Empire has specially opened four more arenas, making a total of five arenas. Challengers can choose the arena they want to go to.
To avoid a situation where no one would step onto the stage at the beginning, the Saiya Empire specially arranged five guardians. Challengers must defeat the guardians in order to open the stage. If a month passes and the guardian is not defeated, then the stage will be invalidated, and the champions of other stages will compete to determine the strongest person to challenge the previous champion.
"This competition format is quite up-to-date." After carefully reading the rules of the arena, Cheng Huaijin had a slight doubt. "They didn't say how strong the defending champion is. What if they are very strong? Wouldn't that mean no one can open the arena?"
Adonis was quite familiar with the unspoken rules: "No, the defending champion usually holds out for about 15 days. If no one succeeds by then, they'll let it go. After all, it's a celebration, they won't take it too seriously."
“However, don’t underestimate the challenger’s strength.” Adonis looked down at Cheng Huaijin, his golden eyes gleaming. “Everyone wants to win, so they will fight with all their might.”
Cheng Huaijin stopped Adonis, who was about to rush forward: "I knew you were going to charge in. It's good to be passionate, but can you please be a little tactful?"
"Tactics?" Adonis asked hesitantly. "Didn't we discuss that before? Meihuan and I have been training very hard, and I think we can win!"
Cheng Huaijin facepalmed. This guy was such a big dummy: "I admit your strength has improved a lot, but we still need to observe the average strength of the challengers, right? And the defending champions, we also need to look at their pet attributes and fighting styles. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory, understand?"
Adonis nodded: "That makes a lot of sense. I'll listen to you."
Cheng Huaijin, with a Thunder Sprite on his head, followed Adonis to the audience seats.
"Why are there so many people in arena number three?" Cheng Huaijin asked curiously.
Adonis was looking at ring number one when he heard this, so he turned around and glanced at it: "Oh, because the defender of ring number three is a great beauty."
Cheng Huaijin hadn't really noticed the defender before, but upon closer inspection, wow, he was incredibly tall!
Adonis nodded: "Yes, the Saiyan Empire values height."
Cheng Huaijin asked, "Then how did you get into the etiquette team, given your height in the Saiya Empire?"
Adonis proudly said, "That's naturally because of my handsome face! Hahaha, the etiquette team is for aliens, which means it's for you guys. If it's too tall, it'll scare you away."
Well, the Saiyan Empire is quite shrewd.
"After watching for so long, have you noticed something?" Cheng Huaijin sensed something was amiss.
Even Adonis, who was usually oblivious, noticed: "...The morning challenge time is almost over, and none of the five arenas are open. That's a bit exaggerated."
According to Cheng Huaijin's observation, the five guardians' pets were all very strong: Golden Monkey, Fire Bee, Frost Bear, Thunder Rabbit, and Silver Water Bird.
Cheng Huaijin had seen the Golden Monkey and Frost Bear before, but this was the first time he had seen the other three pets. In particular, the Silver Water Bird was a unique pet of the Saiya Empire, and Cheng Huaijin was very interested to see how the Little Ironclad Tiger would fare against the Silver Water Bird, which was known for its speed.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience and level up! Of course, it's not too late to test the waters of this arena before going on stage.
Seven days passed, and none of the five arenas were opened.
"What's going on?" Adonis frowned, his fingers quickly swiping across the information on the communicator.
Cheng Huaijin opened the forum and, sure enough, saw posts related to the Saiyan Empire's arena tournament.
[Is anyone watching the arena matches live? It's so boring, there's not a single one who can fight.]
[1st Floor: They're all shills; Xu Xingxi would be doomed if she went!]
[2nd Floor: Stop bragging. What's Xu Xingxi's score now? Is she qualified to participate in the StarCraft individual tournament?]
[3rd Floor: Hehe, 25 points now, what does the person upstairs say?]
[4th Floor: Can you please stop talking about Xu Xingxi? It's everywhere, it's so annoying!]
[5th Floor: I was there. This time, the defending champions are really good. They basically knocked out the challengers within three moves.]
[6th Floor: So strict? Didn't they always give us a break before?]
[7th Floor: It's said that this is the sixteenth time the reigning champion has defended their title, and if they succeed, they will surpass the number of times the strongest super-powerful champion has defended their title, so the competition is particularly fierce.]
...
Cheng Huaijin was about to show the message to Adonis when he looked up and couldn't find him.
"Ah Hun?" To avoid revealing their identities, Adonis and Mei Huan asked Fang Wuhen to disguise themselves and change their names to Ah Hun and Chao Huan.
"The eighty-third challenge for Arena One, challenger Ah Hun, using the Super Illusionary Pet Beast." The host's voice rang out, and Cheng Huaijin looked over in astonishment.
Arena number one, defending pet beast: Great Fire Bee.
The Great Fire Bee, a fire-type pet, is renowned for its unique fire attacks and high-speed flight. Its body is a vibrant red, and its wings shimmer with intense flames. Great Fire Bees possess a strong sense of territory and will attack without hesitation if their territory is violated.
The Great Firebee's main skills include Flame Impact, Fire Whirlwind, Flame Shield, Fire Eye Tracking, and Rebirth from the Ashes. Among these, Rebirth from the Ashes is a talent skill that only Great Firebee at max level can use. When Great Firebee's health is low, it will trigger a powerful fire explosion, damaging everything around it. However, Great Firebee will simultaneously be reborn from the Ashes, restoring all its stats to half of their maximum, essentially giving it 1.5 lives, making it extremely difficult to defeat.
