"The demon has advanced in rank, oh heavens!"
"The Bone-Eroding Beast's aura is continuously strengthening, was it pretending all along?"
"Is the intelligence of this Bone-Eroding Beast too terrifying? It actually deceived everyone."
The commotion at this mont had even alerted the higher-ups of the Beast Fighting Arena.
In an observation room, a middle-aged man with greying temples was witnessing this scene, a flash of surprise crossed his brow but quickly returned to normal.
Suddenly the door was opened, and a staff mber rushed in hurriedly.
Yet before the staff mber could speak, Wanyan He had already spoken first:
"I already know about the situation."
"Let the duel continue."
The staff mber wore a shocked expression and said:
"But General..."
Wanyan He directly interrupted what the person was about to say:
"This is his fate."
"Let the duel continue."
Faced with this cold command, the staff mber felt a chill all over.
He dared not hesitate for a mont and acknowledged:
"Understood, General."
"I will go arrange it right away."
When only Wanyan He remained in the vast room, he gazed through the large floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking everything in the duel arena.
Then his gaze shifted to the noble's seats, murmuring to himself:
"Is this the Emperor's test for him."
Then he softly mouthed these three words:
"Jialan King."
...
Standing in the room where Wanyan He was, everything in the duel arena was clearly visible.
At this mont, the duel arena was in an uproar because of this.
Those who bet on Jarvis to win, upon realizing the Bone-Eroding Beast had advanced to Tier Six, were instantly dissatisfied.
Facing an inevitable loss, no one was willing to give up their savings.
It might even be a family's entire fortune.
Nurous people in the stands shouted:
"This is unfair, demand a rematch."
Then a group of people joined in the chorus, shouting:
"Unfair, rematch."
"Unfair, rematch."
...
anwhile, those betting on the Bone-Eroding Beast to win laughed until they were holding their sides.
They too started clamoring one after another:
"Fairness isn't for you to decide."
"It happened during the duel, why request a rematch."
Soone ridiculed further by saying:
"Why don't you have the challenger advance to Tier Six too!"
After saying that, everyone around burst into laughter.
While the two parties exchanged verbal blows, face reddened from arguing in the field.
At this mont, no one paid attention to the solitary figure inside the duel arena.
The forceful wind from the Bone-Eroding Beast's advancent cut several bloody marks on Jarvis's face.
Facing the surging Bone-Eroding Beast, Jarvis knew today his fate was nearly sealed.
He clutched the sword hilt in both hands, gazing with increasing solemnity at the Bone-Eroding Beast, about to finish its advancent.
It's said when a demon completes a breakthrough, there's a mont belonging to the strength transition period, also its most vulnerable ti.
Jarvis understood this was his one chance at survival.
"Snap~"
Suddenly, the entirely blood-red Bone-Eroding Beast finally completed its transformation.
Its shed outer skin fell to the ground, imdiately dried by the wind and turned to ash.
The previously black Bone-Eroding Beast disappeared without a trace within the arena.
Replaced by a fiercer, red Bone-Eroding Beast.
At this mont, the venue also turned utterly silent:
"Tier Six Bone-Eroding Beast!!!"
When ordinary people looked at the ferocious-faced Bone-Eroding Beast, the fear from the depths of their hearts was undeniable.
The gap of one tier, yet the difference in strength was worlds apart.
Only now did they truly realize what a terrifying existence Jarvis faced.
Everyone instinctively cast sympathetic glances at Jarvis.
Since the Beast Fighting Arena opened, it's the first ti a demon completed advancent inside the duel arena.
It seed Jarvis's fate, like being predestined, sure.
Even those indifferent to his life or death before naturally sighed.
Lin Yi stepped down from his seat, making his way to the railing.
Ling Yuwei followed closely behind Lin Yi, asking:
"Master Lin Yi, what are you going to do?"
Seeing Lin Yi's actions, Ling Yuwei was really worried he might do sothing earth-shattering again.
Thus, she felt compelled to remind him:
"The Beast Fighting Arena is backed by the Jialan Royal Family, think carefully before doing anything."
Lin Yi looked a bit surprised at the woman beside him, not expecting she actually guessed what he might do?
Ling Yuwei noticed Lin Yi's gaze, that pair of eyes hidden under the veil, betraying a complex and unreadable expression:
"Are you really going to do this?"
Lin Yi turned his head to look at Jarvis in the arena, isolated and helpless, like waiting for death, and slowly said:
"If you're worried about being implicated, you can leave now."
Lin Yi's answer conveyed a very clear ssage to Ling Yuwei.
This made Ling Yuwei's heart tremble uncontrollably.
From her perspective.
She truly couldn't understand what kind of ntality Lin Yi had, that he would offend the Jialan Royal Family for a completely stranger?
As for Lin Yi's ntion of implication, Ling Yuwei couldn't help but smile:
"Don't forget, I also bet on his win."
With that, she stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yi outside the railing, infuriating Charles to the point of teeth gnashing.
Actually, what Ling Yuwei didn't know at this mont.
The reason Lin Yi did this was not only to complete a mission.
Firstly, it was Lin Yi's confidence in his own strength.
Secondly, it was also Lin Yi probing the Jialan Empire and various forces' attitudes towards him.
Because yesterday's encounter gave Lin Yi a very strange feeling.
He felt that the Pope, whom everyone feared, seed to know him, Lin Yi saw an extrely unfamiliar familiarity in his eyes.
Unfamiliar familiarity?
Doesn't this statent sound contradictory?
In fact, Lin Yi's mind now is as contradictory as this statent.
He always felt this world might not be as pure as he imagined.
And the reason he appeared here is definitely not as simple as coincidence.
In addition to this, Lin Yi had another thing he wanted to figure out.
The Jialan Emperor's sudden move to appoint him as the Jialan King also made Lin Yi very curious.
Curious about the reason that led them to make such a decision.
Now, the appearance of this [side mission] might be the opportunity to understand all of this.
Since this is the Jialan Royal Family's enterprise.
Then he might as well see how much the Jialan Royal Family values this Jialan King of theirs.
Just then, a huge cry suddenly erupted from the scene.
Lin Yi focused his gaze.
Only to see the recently transford Bone-Eroding Beast's powerful aura suddenly stalled.
Ling Yuwei suddenly whispered in Lin Yi's ear:
"It's now!"
Sure enough, before Ling Yuwei's voice even fell, Jarvis had already shot towards the Bone-Eroding Beast with his sword.
In the blink of an eye.
Jarvis appeared above the Bone-Eroding Beast, holding the sword with both hands towards the beast's head, his eyes wide open:
"Die!"
A layer of pale white Fighting Qi instantly wrapped around Jarvis's great sword.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the great sword pierced towards the Bone-Eroding Beast's head at incredible speed.
Can he succeed?
In that instant, everyone was stunned by the sudden change.
All those who bet on the Bone-Eroding Beast felt their hearts leap to their throats.
It was at this mont that people rembered.
When demons complete their tier advancent, there's usually a brief lag in their power.
This is also the most dangerous ti for demons.
Thus, demons usually choose an uninhabited place to complete their advancent.
But unexpectedly, this Bone-Eroding Beast dared to be so bold as to advance during a duel.
While everyone thought that Jarvis's strike would greatly wound the Bone-Eroding Beast, only Lin Yi was already secretly preparing his magic.
In normal circumstances, when demons advance in tier, they indeed experience a power lag.
But now, this Bone-Eroding Beast sohow cheated everyone.
In fact, it had already completed its advancent before this.
Everything now is just a blinding technique.
If Lin Yi didn't have his own system, he might've been fooled too.
Thus, only Lin Yi understands at this mont.
Unless there's an accident.
Jarvis is dood!
Because this demon has been acting up until now!
Sure enough, in the next mont.
Just as Jarvis was confident in his attack, the Bone-Eroding Beast suddenly raised its head and showed a human-like smile at Jarvis.
That feeling seed like laughing at Jarvis's ignorance.
In an instant.
A cold chill went from Jarvis's tailbone straight to his brain.
Tricked!
But it's too late now.
Under the stupefied gaze of everyone, the Bone-Eroding Beast suddenly opened its bloody mouth and leaped at Jarvis.
At this ti, Jarvis, in mid-air, couldn't make any evasive actions and could only watch as the opponent attacked him:
In the last monts of his life, Jarvis finally let out an unwilling roar:
"No!!!"
At this mont, Lin Yi beside Ling Yuwei suddenly disappeared:
