Chapter 157, Battle in the Duel Arena
Jiang Ming strode into the dueling arena.
The dueling arena in Hongmeng City is circular, with a huge arena in the center that is over a million kilometers in diameter.
The arena is surrounded by tiered stands, large enough to accommodate millions of spectators at the same time.
Each spectator seat is 100 meters long and wide.
At this moment, the stands were already packed with people.
Jiang Ming glanced around and roughly estimated that there were at least 500,000 King-level experts present.
He was granted the title of King for 500,000.
This number is terrifying even when considered within the entire primordial universe. Keep in mind that the total number of King-level experts in the entire human race is only about 300,000.
"No wonder everyone says the Hongmeng is full of powerful figures..."
Jiang Ming sighed inwardly and found an empty seat to sit down.
He had just sat down when he heard a commotion around him.
"The duel scene that was released this time was actually a battle between the top 60 and top 65 players on the Glory Ranking."
"These are all powerful individuals who are close to becoming invincible kings."
"It's our good fortune to be able to see this."
"Stop talking nonsense, look!"
Jiang Ming looked up at the center of the dueling arena.
There, two beams of light descended from the sky and coalesced into two figures on the arena.
On the left was a humanoid creature covered in dark golden scales. It was about three meters tall, with limbs as thick as iron pillars, and a pair of vertical pupils that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
Honor Ranking - 60th.
On the right was a tall, handsome man. He wore a silver-white armor and held a slender rapier. Standing there, he resembled a drawn sword, exuding an extremely sharp and piercing aura.
Honor Ranking - 65th.
"boom!!!"
The moment the two appeared, an indescribable sense of oppression spread from the arena.
The oppressive atmosphere was so strong that even through the protective barrier of the arena, many of the top-ranked experts in the spectator stands felt suffocated.
"So strong..."
"3
A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.
Both of these individuals are stronger than him.
It's not just a little stronger, it's much stronger.
With his current combat strength, he would probably only be able to passively take a beating if he faced either of these two.
"The 60th and 65th ranked players on the honor list are already this strong."
Jiang Ming was secretly astonished.
But he was not afraid; instead, he felt a long-lost surge of passion in his chest.
"The duel begins!"
A cold, electronic sound echoed throughout the venue.
The moment the words left his mouth, the two figures on the arena moved simultaneously!
boom!!!
The golden light and the silver-white sword light collided with a deafening roar!
At that moment, the entire dueling arena trembled violently.
This is a sound effect simulated in the duel arena, allowing the spectators to feel the terrifying aura generated when these two powerful figures are fighting.
It is not simply about letting the audience watch videos.
"They're too strong! Both of them are too strong. I feel like they could kill me with a single move."
"The pressure from this battle is making me feel terrible. I'm a high-ranking King, yet they can suppress my strength by ten percent just by using their aura."
"Is this the strength of the top 100 on the Glory Ranking? The gap between us and them is too big..."
'
"No, this is not the strength of the top 100. The Glory Duel Arena has just opened, and there are not many strong people participating. When there are more people later, they may only be ranked in the top 200."
In the spectator stands, countless powerful figures who had reached the rank of King exclaimed in amazement.
Jiang Ming didn't speak, but just stared intently at the battle on the arena.
From the perspective of the Heavenly Eye, everything about those two figures was laid bare.
The dark gold scaled creature on the left is known for its powerful attacks.
Every punch he throws, every tail whip he flicks, carries a terrifying aura of shattering space and destroying everything in the universe.
That power was so strong that even a peak-level King would be easily torn apart by it.
His defenses were also incredibly formidable.
Those dark golden scales were harder than G9 grade metal, almost reaching the level of a treasure, and had amazing defensive capabilities.
The silver-armored man's rapier struck it, but only left a shallow mark.
The silver-armored man's movements were unpredictable; each time he disappeared in a flash, it wasn't teleportation, but it acted as if he were.
Each thrust of the rapier sliced a rift tens of thousands of miles long in the void.
But even with such a terrifying attack, it couldn't break through the defense.
The battle between the two was like a contest between a spear and a shield.
One cannot break through the opponent's defense, and the other cannot keep up with the opponent's speed.
For a time, the fight became so intense that neither side could gain the upper hand.
"A battle of this caliber is rarely seen even within the Hong Alliance."
Beside Jiang Ming, a powerful king covered in golden fur sighed.
"Yeah, if it weren't for this honor roll, these old guys would have been hiding for who knows how long."
Another powerful figure who had been granted the title of King chimed in.
"However, the matchmaking system for this Glory Ranking is really interesting. It seems to match players based on similar scores, so the skill gap isn't too big, making the matches more exciting to watch."
"you do not say.....
"6
As Jiang Ming listened to the surrounding discussions, he was quickly analyzing the battle between the two on the arena.
Their understanding of laws, application of secret techniques, combat rhythm, weaknesses and flaws... everything was dissected, analyzed and recorded under his Heavenly Eye.
Even though Jiang Ming could find their weaknesses and flaws through his Heavenly Eye, he was still far from being a match for any of them.
Although these two are not yet invincible kings, even if an invincible king were to take action, it would take them quite a while to defeat them.
boom!!!
The battle in the arena finally took a turn for the better.
The silver-armored swordsman seized a tiny opening in the dark gold-scaled creature's defenses, and with a swift, serpentine thrust of his sword, precisely struck the point where the creature's tailbone spur connected to its body.
That sword strike was incredibly fast.
As they approached, even Jiang Ming's Heavenly Eye could only detect a blurry silver light.
puff!
The bone spur broke off instantly.
The dark gold-scaled creature let out a muffled groan and staggered backward.
But his reaction was also extremely fast. As he retreated, his tail swept across like a steel whip, forcing the silver-armored swordsman back.
"Thank you for your concession."
The silver-armored swordsman sheathed his sword and stood with a slight bow.
The dark gold-scaled creature glanced down at the broken tailbone, remained silent for a moment, and then cupped its hands in a respectful gesture.
"Excellent swordsmanship."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures disappeared from the arena at the same time.
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the stands.
"That was amazing!"
"This battle is truly exhilarating!"
"I didn't expect that swordsman to win."
Jiang Ming thought to himself that, according to his Heavenly Eye observation, the scaled creature was slightly stronger than the swordsman.
"That's true, they didn't fight to the very end. With the scaled creature's strength, if it had fought to the bitter end, given its divine body's defensive capabilities, it would definitely have been the ultimate winner. It's just that they didn't fight to the very end."
Jiang Ming thought to himself thoughtfully.
