Chapter 420: Competition Notes
"10, 9, 8, 7, 63, 2, 1, 0."
Dongfang Ji muttered to himself, the countdown ended and the screening began.
He stared at the screen nervously, watching the list of contestants scroll by, his heart churning.
"Eastern Festival, Eastern Festival, Eastern Festival" he muttered, his eyes full of hope, and he didn't even pay attention to the big commotion caused by the Chimera fighting the Hydra.
But the final result still disappointed him.
The name that finally remained on the screen was Hua Mingfei.
"Fuck, it's that guy who has no flesh on his body and is so skinny that he looks like he could be blown away by the wind."
Dongfang Ji couldn't believe it, because Hua Mingfei had an excellent appearance and temperament. Apart from being a little thin and his hair was a little bumpy and ugly, there was nothing wrong with his appearance. But he really didn't look like someone who could fight, so Dongfang Ji secretly observed him when he signed up.
Who knew this guy was so lucky that he was actually chosen.
Hua Mingfei, who had already returned to his seat, was slightly stunned when he heard the system's reminder, and then the corners of his lips curled up.
Tang Wenwei, who was standing beside him, came over and asked with a smile, "How was it? Were you selected?"
Hua Mingfei glanced at him, then nodded with a faint smile, "Yes, I've chosen it. Your hexagram is correct."
Tang Wenwei raised his chin and said proudly, "Hehe, I was saying that. How could that boy Tang Liangjun compare to my uncle? Humph, I've been studying hard in the detention room for over twenty years. Coupled with my unparalleled talent, my fortune-telling skills must have skyrocketed. I think my current abilities can even catch up with my father's."
Tang Liangjun: “.”
Although he admitted that his uncle's fortune-telling skills had greatly improved and were no longer comparable to those of twenty years ago, he disagreed with the idea that he was comparable to his grandfather.
However, in order to avoid being nagged by his uncle, Tang Liangjun wisely chose to keep quiet.
Hua Mingfei ignored Tang Wenwei who was still chattering beside him, opened the game panel and found the message sent to him by the system.
[Congratulations to player Hua Mingfei for successfully registering to participate in the third competitive performance, fighting against the Minotaur Sibi. Please prepare yourself.]
[Notes on the competition: 1. Both sides may use any weapons, cards, potions, or other auxiliary means. The Colosseum recognizes victory won by any means.
Second, the reserved time for entering the competition is three minutes. If the participating players have not stepped onto the competition stage within three minutes, they will be considered to have conceded the game.
Third, if there is no life and death contract signed during the battle, players can fight freely, and the Colosseum will ensure the safety of every participant;
Fourth, a gentle reminder: it is best not to use any auxiliary means in the arena to better advance your strength. This is just a gentle reminder, players are optional.
Seeing how intently he was watching, Tang Wenwei also came over to take a look, but he couldn't see other people's game panels, so he could only look away frustratedly and ask, "What are you looking at so intently? Can you hear me? Do you need Lixiu to lend you the formation?"
Hua Mingfei put away the game panel and looked up at him, "No need."
Tang Wenwei, "If you don't need it, then don't use it. Humph, I don't want to give you my wife's formation. She worked so hard to draw it. If you use it, you'll have one less. But you go in empty-handed. Are you sure you can defeat that minotaur?"
"That minotaur sounds very strong. How can you, with your body, which is weaker than a woman and would fall down at the slightest breeze, do it?"
Hua Mingfei glanced at him calmly and said, "You can calculate, can you tell me if I can do it?"
Tang Wenwei choked. If he could figure it out, he would have done it long ago, but the problem was that he couldn't.
Not only is Hua Mingfei fighting against the Minotaur, he also can't figure out the second exhibition match between Chimera and Hydra.
This arena seemed to have blocked all predictions, shrouding the outcome in mystery. He dared to say that even if his own father came, he would not be able to predict who would win in the arena.
That is to say, he could make some guesses about the selection of contestants just now, but he couldn't be completely sure.
While they were talking, the second exhibition match was coming to an end. The huge and difficult Hydra had eight heads bitten off by Chimera. In the end, only one head was left there, roaring and screaming, spraying venom, and angrily chasing Chimera, the culprit.
The Chimera's condition at this time was not much better. Its body was covered in blood, its fur was pitted and had fallen out, and its body was soaked in blood. The whole beast looked smaller than before.
Suddenly, Chimera stumbled because his leg stepped on a snake head, and was bitten by the Hydra that was chasing him madly from behind.
"roar--"
The Hydra's fangs bit into its body, injecting venom into its body.
The Chimera roared and struggled, but its strength was getting weaker and weaker. Only its scarlet and violent eyes still proved its strong fighting spirit.
But the battle was already decided. Chimera had no strength to stand up, let alone the ability to fight back. The Colosseum protected its last bit of health, imprisoned the Hydra, and then declared the Hydra the winner.
Compared to the first exhibition match, the second exhibition match was far too bloody and crazy, vividly showing the brutal battle between savage beasts.
The blood splattered all over the ground stimulated people's senses. They felt fear and dread, but more of it was excitement and enthusiasm.
After the battle, there was a moment of silence in the Roman audience, and then the whole audience erupted, with screams and excitement filling the sky.
Dongfang Ji and his companions who came in to clean up the scene looked at the blood and hair all over the ground, as well as the eight big snake heads, with depression.
"Should we wear gloves? The venom of that Hydra looks very strong. Even a powerful Chimera was dying after being bitten. If we were to encounter it, wouldn't our health bar drop to the limit?"
Su Hun followed Dongfang Ji into the venue, muttering to himself, and carefully avoided the snake head that was bigger than his entire body. He took another look at its sharp fangs stained with green liquid, and jumped to the side in fright.
"No need. Even though the five of us are just ordinary temporary cleaners, we are officially employed by the Colosseum. It can guarantee that the contestants will not die, so how can it not protect us from being poisoned?"
Dongfang Ji spoke casually, but his eyes fell on the huge chimera not far away.
The Hydra swam back into the door by itself, but what about this Chimera that was dying from the poison and couldn't move?
