Chapter 16: Faceless Owl



"Hurry up, there will be no room left soon!"

"I know, I know! Rushing you from school to the fighting arena, hustling you! Is it really that exciting?"

The two young men walked quickly in the dark underground cave, surrounded by a large number of spectators who were heading to the fighting arena like them.

"It's really awesome! I can't stand being taken advantage of or fooled!"

"Yinhui really needs to give you some publicity money!"

As more and more people gathered around, the noisy conversations almost drowned out the voices of the two people, and the volume of their voices began to increase unconsciously.

"Hurry up! There's room here!"

"Oh my god, is this the value of the season competition? So many people!"

"If it doesn't look good, you'll buy me some midnight snack."

“It’s guaranteed!”

"Hand-to-hand combat", "melee", "quarterly arena", these are the keywords that frequently appear in the air.

Before the fight even started, the noise outside the cage was as clamorous as boiling water.

"Number 9, Owl, in position!"

The voice of the staff came from a distance, and Lou Zisui was standing in the shadow outside the cage waiting.

He listened quietly to the discussions in the audience above and recalled the dinner before going underground.

On the podium outside the fighting cage, the graceful female host has begun to warm up the audience.

"Hello everyone, old and new viewers! After an entire season of screening, the highly anticipated end-of-season free-for-all is finally here!"

"Adhering to the principle of diversified development, this season's free-for-all competition is divided into six zones based on different fighting modes."

"This competition area is a hand-to-hand combat arena. The ten top fighters who emerge from the melee arena will fight with their bodies in this brutal fighting cage to compete for the championship!"

"First, let me introduce the contestants of this competition."

"They are No. 1 Rodin, No. 2 Hook Claw, No. 3 Diamond, No. 4 Phantom, No. 5 Lightning, No. 6 Rock, No. 7 Ding Fengbo, No. 8 Red Eye, No. 9 Owl, and No. 10 Heavy Hammer."

The female host spoke very quickly and fluently read out a long list of contestant codes.

As these code names were listed one by one, the cheers and applause from the audience became louder and louder, and the entire venue seemed to be on fire and boiling.

When the word "Xiao" - Zisui's code name - was called out, there were loud cheers from all around.

At the same time, the old hands who love gambling and fighting quickly gathered together and launched a new round of pre-match predictions in full swing.

"2, 5, and 9 are speed-oriented players, and their fights are usually quick and decisive."

"1, 4, and 8 are skill-based, with various skills that are unpredictable;"

"The rest of them all fight with big moves and are more power-oriented."

"In terms of realm, the four realms are 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The other three realms, 9, and the initial stage of the three realms are the lowest."

Brother Dong, who almost lived in the fighting arena, spoke first and began by roughly dividing the contestants into three categories.

The old audience who had also watched many games rolled their eyes and turned away after hearing this. However, the speculators who didn't come here often pricked up their ears and came forward to listen carefully.

"That's awesome, man. I don't even recognize everyone, but I don't recognize number 9."

"You know everything, buddy. You've seen a lot of hand-to-hand combat, right? Share it!"

"That's right! I wonder if the brother of No. 9 Faceless Owl hasn't come to the melee arena recently! This King of Bitch has been very popular recently."

"Dude, it's normal that you don't know him. That No. 9 owl is a newcomer in the melee division, and he's on a six-game winning streak."

"Faceless Owl? What's going on? There's even a prefix?"

"You'll see when he appears later. He's been wearing a stupid hood all day, and until now, no one has even taken it off!"

"Isn't that a bit too pretentious? Bet on it!"

"What the hell! This is the quarterly competition, do you think it's the regular season?"

"Let's be honest. If you're comparing your regular season results to the regular season results, you might as well just give me the money. I'll at least say 'thank you, boss.'"

After listening to Brother Dong's introduction, the gamblers couldn't help but become more interested in the mysterious owl.

But being interested is one thing, and whether to bet on him to win is another.

Some old gamblers with keen intuition instinctively smelled the aura of a strong man and made a light bet on this mysterious newcomer.

But most of the self-proclaimed experienced ones were not optimistic about Xiao. They had few achievements and were very secretive. The waters were too deep and difficult to grasp!

A younger audience member came over and handed Brother Dong a cigarette, then asked, "Boss, this is our first time betting, so please analyze it for me!"

Brother Dong put away the cigarette, proudly enjoyed the call of "big boss", and then began to give scientific knowledge to the newcomers around him in a good mood.

"You're new here, so don't bet too much the first time. It's best to pick one that you like and test the waters."

After saying that, without waiting for the rookies to reply, he began to further analyze the winning rate of each player.

"In a hand-to-hand combat match, we must first eliminate those skilled fighters."

"Some of them have primary weapons, and they are actually skilled fighters who are more adept at fighting with weapons."

"This kind of hand-to-hand combat simply cannot fully demonstrate one's true strength."

"The top skilled fighters tend to go to the no-rules fights and prop matches. Those who come to the melee are usually either exhausted or looking to hone their bare-handed fighting skills."

"These skilled fighters have no chance of winning against these guys who use their bodies as weapons."

After listening to the old man's long speech, one of the rookies finally found a chance to ask, "Boss, who did you bet on?"
