“Those countries have nearly two thousand participants. Currently, including those who voluntarily surrendered or haven’t had their turn yet, there are still around seven to eight hundred people.” Ivy responded after a brief moment of thought.
For the past four days, Casey and the others had been shuttling between different arenas, along with the participants from Aquilandia. Any competitors from the top ten countries who stepped onto the arena were virtually all killed. Many with low cultivation levels didn’t even step onto the arena and chose to surrender, saving their lives.
“Boss, it won’t be easy to kill them all. Many people don’t even dare to step onto the arena,” Azure Dragon chimed in.
One of Billy’s goals in participating in the championship was to kill all the participants from the top ten countries, except for Aquilandia.
“They must die!” Billy responded in a deep voice.
“Do you have a plan?” Casey looked at Billy and asked, while the others also turned their attention to him.
“Yes!” Billy nodded and began giving instructions to the group.
At nine in the morning, the final day of the competition officially began. Like the previous days, Casey and the others continued shuttling between different arenas, earning points for Glavale. Since it was the last day, all countries had unleashed their strongest cards. The prodigies from the countries with higher rankings specifically targeted Glavale’s participants. Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and others had already surrendered, leaving the opponents infuriated and feeling powerless.
Around noon, at about twelve o’clock.
Among Billy’s comrades, only Casey and Harleen remained with a chance to step onto the stage. Everyone else had conceded defeat. Meanwhile, the leaderboard still showed Northfortia, Glavale, and Aquilandia in the top three positions. The points between these three nations were neck and neck, with only a slight difference.
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed through the arena!
A dull sound reverberated from the central Arena Number 6. Casey was hit in the scapula by a punch from a man from Northfortia, sliding for twenty to thirty meters before stabilizing himself. His face turned pale, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, and his aura was in disarray. His opponent was none other than Thomas, the true number one expert of Northfortia, with a cultivation level halfway into the seventh rank.
“Casey!” Felicia exclaimed from below the arena, her face filled with concern.
“Don’t worry, Felicia. Casey knows what he’s doing. If he can’t win, he will surrender.” Stout reassured her.
“Not bad, you managed to take one of my strikes and still stand. Truly worthy of Glavale’s Eastern Frontier Commander!” Thomas said calmly as he looked at Casey from the arena. After speaking, he approached Casey again, speaking while walking.
“Take another one of my attacks, and if you can still hold on, I’ll spare your life.”
“What’s another ten attacks to me!” Casey wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth with his hand.
“Casey, step down!” At that moment, Billy’s voice reached Casey’s ears.
“Alright!” Casey didn’t hesitate. Whatever Billy asked him to do, he would do it.
After saying that, he turned to the referee and said, “I surrender!”
“You’re so tough, yet you surrender so quickly?” Thomas frowned, still full of anger that he hadn’t unleashed yet.
“Idiot!” Casey replied nonchalantly before walking towards the edge of the arena.
“Stop right there!” Thomas made a move to chase after him.
“He has already surrendered!” the referee’s voice sounded, as he stood in front of Thomas to block his path.
Thomas let out a sigh of relief, muttering under his breath, “Coward!” With that, he looked down at the arena, and shouted loudly, “Are there any more participants from Glavale? Come up and fight if you dare!”
“If you want to fight, I’ll accompany you!” Billy strolled up to the arena.
As soon as he appeared, there was another uproar from the crowd. Many people’s eyes lit up with excitement. It was going to be another thrilling show.
“Who are you? Introduce yourself!” Thomas glanced at Billy with a disdainful expression.
As the top prodigy from Northfortia, it was impossible for him not to recognize Commander Gardner from Glavale. He had seen countless pictures and videos of him. He asked out of pure intention to embarrass Billy.
“Lord Thomas, he is Commander Gardner from Glavale!” A kind-hearted man from Northfortia below the arena reminded them.
“Lord Thomas, Commander Gardner is very powerful, don’t underestimate him!” Another man from Northfortia gave a ‘helpful’ comment.
“So, you’re Commander Gardner from Glavale. It’s an honor to meet you!” On the arena, Thomas twitched his mouth and spoke to Billy.
“How many more participants from Northfortia haven’t fought yet?” Billy spoke calmly.
“What do you mean?” Thomas was momentarily stunned.
“You’re not my opponent. Bring all of them here!” Billy spoke again. “Also, call all the participants from Northfortia’s allies, Xidengia, Occidenta, and the seven to eight countries that haven’t fought yet! I don’t have time to play with you one by one. Gather everyone, and we’ll settle it all at once!”
Upon hearing his words, another uproar erupted from the crowd below the arena. Everyone was stunned by Billy’s domineering words. There were still three to four hundred participants from Northfortia, Xidengia, and the other countries who hadn’t fought yet. Was Commander Gardner planning to challenge them all by himself? They had always heard that Commander Gardner from Glavale was decisive and arrogant, but seeing him in person today was truly eye-opening. It was no longer just youthful arrogance; it was boundless madness.
It should be noted that among the remaining three to four hundred participants, many were prodigies intentionally kept hidden by their countries. Some of them were even experts in the mid-stage of the Sovereign realm. And Commander Gardner himself was only at the mid-stage of the Sovereign realm. Everyone couldn’t believed that he dared to make such a request.
“Hahaha…” Thomas burst into laughter. After finally stopping his laughter, he looked at Billy and said, “I’ve heard that you’re arrogant and conceited, and today I finally see it for myself!”
“No more nonsense. Make a decision. Will you challenge me alone or bring everyone here?” Billy spoke calmly once again.
“Are you serious?” Thomas squinted his eyes and asked again.
Although he had a cultivation level one rank higher than Billy at the late-stage of the Sovereign realm, he knew his own limitations. If he were to fight Billy, he wouldn’t have the confidence to win. Moreover, even if he had the strength to kill Billy, he wouldn’t dare to do it on the arena. At most, he would just cripple Billy’s cultivation level. He hadn’t forgotten the Yade family from Xidengia, which had been wiped out overnight. It couldn’t have been done by anyone other than the people from Glavale. This meant that Glavale had experts in the late-stage of the Sovereign realm or even stronger hidden in Xidengia. If he really killed Billy, he wouldn’t be able to return to Northfortia.
But if three to four hundred people attacked together, Thomas wouldn’t have as many concerns. Even if he killed Billy in the end, Glavale wouldn’t be able to kill all the participants from these ten countries to avenge him.
“Do you think I’m interested in joking with you?” Billy responded coldly.
