"Isn't he just a newcomer? We haven't even fought yet, how do you know I can't beat him? Am I that bad?" Gu Yuan muttered a few words, then walked from the stage to the field.
"Hey? Our new contestant looks so young, no wonder he is a newcomer!" said the host with a smile.
Gu Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Is this the reason why you don't think highly of me?"
"Alright, the two contestants are in place, now let's..."
"etc!"
The host was interrupted by Gu Yuan before he could finish his words.
"Huh? What's going on with our new contestant?" asked the host.
Even though he had a good temper, Gu Yuan couldn't help himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "Host, you haven't introduced me to the audience yet!"
"ah?"
The host was at a loss for words, then said, "So you're a newbie! Don't you know the rules here?"
Gu Yuan was stunned. What rules?
"A newcomer doesn't get introduced in his first match. If he wins, the audience will know him in the next match. If he loses, what difference does it make whether the audience knows him or not?"
"But who can guarantee victory in the first round?" Gu Yuan said angrily. What? Just because you lost the first round doesn't mean you won't participate in the competition. Why are you discriminating against newbies?
The host looked at Gu Yuan unhappily, but still explained, "Because in every match, apart from the contestants' own requests, newcomers will basically be assigned to non-newcomers who are one or two levels lower than themselves. This is also to give newcomers some confidence. Contestant, do you understand?"
"Ahem... So that's how it is!"
Gu Yuan smiled awkwardly. So this was a marketing tactic. First they let you feel your own presence, and then they tricked you step by step?
"Okay, contestant, please get ready. Our competition is about to begin. Please take it seriously. Because you yourself require to be a level five spiritualist, your opponent may be much stronger than you in terms of experience." The host kindly reminded.
He looked at the host with gratitude. Although he didn't need it, Gu Yuan was still very grateful.
"Okay, everyone, take your positions, the game begins!"
As the host gave the command, the whole stadium became excited.
"Come on, Zheng Zhou! Defeat that rookie!"
"Zheng Zhou will definitely win! The rookie admits defeat!"
The people present were almost one-sided, all cheering for Zheng Zhou. Among them were Zheng Zhou's fans and people who had bet on Zheng Zhou.
But no matter what the reason was, there were indeed few people at the scene who supported Gu Yuan.
Because Gu Yuan is a newbie, but he picked a player with similar ability to himself, this is simply courting death!
"Boy, you're lucky to have met me, because I don't like killing people. I usually stop when I'm done."
As soon as Gu Yuan came up, Zheng Zhou looked at him with a smile and said.
"Oh? Why are you so confident, brother? Although I am a novice, you should know that my realm is the same as yours!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Hey, I have at least fourteen battles under my belt. Wouldn't it be a joke if I don't defeat you?" Zheng Zhou scratched his head, looking a bit naive.
But Gu Yuan didn't care about all this. He still remembered clearly what had happened outside the city and at the city gate. This was Giant Stone City!
No one's words can be trusted!
"Hehe, what a coincidence! I came here today just to try to win consecutive games. I heard there are rewards for winning consecutive games, so for this reward, you will be the first person to lose to me." Gu Yuan said lightly.
Zheng Zhou stared at Gu Yuan blankly. He didn't expect Gu Yuan to be so disrespectful. He laughed and said, "Okay, that's really interesting. I don't know your name yet."
"Defeat me first!"
Gu Yuan let out a light scream and stopped talking nonsense. The spiritual energy in his hand surged out and turned into a stream of spiritual energy, which was thrown towards Zheng Zhou fiercely.
Zheng Zhou wasn't surprised at all. Gu Yuan's behavior seemed outrageous to him. "Since you're so confident in having me as your stepping stone, I can't really oblige you. Otherwise, I, Zheng Zhou, would be too embarrassed to face anyone."
After muttering a few words, the spiritual energy in Zheng Zhou's hand turned into a streak of spiritual energy and collided directly with the streak of spiritual energy thrown by Gu Yuan.
Without a sound, the two streaks of light turned into nothingness. After a preliminary test, neither of them used any spiritual skills.
"That's quite powerful, quite interesting."
Gu Yuan smiled, and the earth and rock shield on his body was immediately fully activated. Gu Yuan did not dare to be careless with any opponent, otherwise he would be the only one to suffer.
Zheng Zhou also laughed. The combat awareness of this novice in front of him seemed to be quite strong, far different from those players he had met before.
“Try this!”
The vortex of spiritual energy in Gu Yuan's hand took shape instantly, and then was sent directly towards Zheng Zhou.
The Phantom Sand Thorn has various attack methods in Gu Yuan's hands. It can be used for both strong attacks and sneak attacks.
The vortex of spiritual energy spun at high speed and attacked Zheng Zhou. Zheng Zhou was not afraid at all. Instead, there was a look of eagerness on his face.
The spiritual energy in his hand quickly covered his entire arm, and then one arm turned golden.
"Golden Spiritual Qi, it seems like fire might be more suitable for me."
Fire overcomes metal, Gu Yuan thought secretly as he looked at the color of Zheng Zhou's aura.
"The Golden Mountain Splits!"
At some point, Zheng Zhou's golden arm had expanded two or three times in size, and the entire arm was as thick as a small tree.
"Try this spiritual skill of mine!"
Although Zheng Zhou spoke very confidently, he was not careless at all. Instead, he chose to use his spiritual skills right away. He knew that a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit.
Gu Yuan thought to himself that this guy was quite cautious, and then he no longer hesitated and directly collided with the thick arm that was hitting him.
"How dare you take on my spiritual skill with one hand? You're courting death!"
Zheng Zhou frowned, feeling somewhat disdainful. Although he did not underestimate Gu Yuan, he did not think that Gu Yuan could catch his spiritual skills without using them.
But the next moment, his pupils gradually dilated.
"boom!"
A loud crash was heard, and Zheng Zhou looked at Gu Yuan blankly, unable to help but widen his eyes. This guy actually caught his arm with one hand!
"you……"
"Hehe, your strength is still not strong enough, use a little more strength!" Gu Yuan said with a chuckle.
Zheng Zhou's face turned red, and he stomped his feet hard, increasing the pressure on his arms again, but Gu Yuan's thin arms were like a mountain and did not move at all.
"How is this possible? Your physical strength is so strong?" Zheng Zhou said in disbelief.
"Hey, there's still a lot you don't know!"
Gu Yuan also stomped his foot, and a huge force instantly came from his thin arms. With a fierce shock, Zheng Zhou was directly knocked three steps away, but he did not move at all.
When the audience on the stage saw this scene, they started talking about it.
