Chapter 99: The Champion of the Three Races!

Chapter 99: The Champion of the Three Races!



Thirty seconds passed...

Sixty seconds...

Two whole minutes had gone by, and there was still no movement from beneath the ground.

The remaining participants on the arena, witnessing this, heaved a collective sigh of relief.

That human monster must be dead by now, right? Even if it was still alive before, being buried under there for so long, it would have suffocated to death!

With this thought, many of the demons and monsters relaxed and sat down on the ground.

Their faces now showed the relief of having survived a disaster. That human monster was truly terrifying...

Too powerful!

Just then, a demon approached the Tri-Eye.

"Son of the Demon Sage, we've won."

The 'Son of the Demon Sage' they referred to was not a descendant of a holy figure, but the offspring of a demon sage!

At this moment, the Tri-Eye was covered in blood, its face as pale as paper, with a severed arm, lying helplessly on the ground, unable to move.

In such a pitiful state, one couldn't help but wonder if it would soon meet its end.

However, demons possessed strong vitality.

Although the Tri-Eye looked miserable, and indeed, its condition was terrible, it wasn't going to die that easily.

Hearing its companion's words, the Tri-Eye's face didn't show any joy, but instead, it was filled with despair.

"Do you really think... we... won? Cough, cough..."

The Tri-Eye struggled to speak, its words coming out in gasps.

Having used its third eye prematurely, its body suffered from severe side effects.

The demon was taken aback, "But that monster is already dead, isn't it?"

As it spoke, it glanced uneasily at the One-Eyed Giant, still not seeing any movement.

There was still no sign of life.

The demon slightly relieved, then raised its hand and began healing the Tri-Eye.

"In the Forbidden Realm... wasting time is not allowed."

The Tri-Eye, now slightly recovered, said with a cough, "Cough... If he's really dead, why are we still in the arena, and why haven't we received any prompts?"

By 'Forbidden Realm', it naturally meant the Spirit Realm, just a different term used by the human side.

Upon hearing this, the demon was startled!

Indeed!

In the Forbidden Realm, time was not to be wasted like this.

From the previous elimination rounds, it was evident that as soon as a participant was eliminated, a new one would take their place.

The demon quickly looked at the One-Eyed Giant, praying that the human monster buried beneath would hurry up and leave.

Unfortunately, what one fears often comes to pass.

The demon clearly saw the One-Eyed Giant's face twist in pain.

Then, its single eye revealed an expression of extreme agony.

"Aargh!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the arena.

It was the One-Eyed Giant's final cry.

The next moment—

Boom!

Its massive body suddenly exploded.

Greenish-black blood and flesh splattered everywhere, turning the surrounding area within a hundred meters into a ghastly green!

Even the distant Tri-Eye and the demon were splattered with some of it.

The acrid stench of the green blood filled the air, making everyone nauseous.

However, at this moment, they couldn't afford to care about that, their eyes fixed on the massive crater.

The other surviving participants were also drawn by the commotion, gazing in horror.

Not long after, a figure emerged from the crater, exuding a suffocating aura.

Like a demon lord rising from the depths of hell!

Seeing this figure, all the participants' eyes widened in fear.

Despair engulfed the entire arena.

In that instant, a single thought crossed their minds: It's over!

...

At this moment, Zhao Zheng seemed completely unharmed.

This was the main reason for the other participants' despair!

In their eyes, Zhao Zheng was undoubtedly a formidable demon lord.

His terrifying strength, coupled with such formidable defense, made him seem like an immortal monster!

The strike from the One-Eyed Giant, however, had indeed affected Zhao Zheng.

It was the reason he had remained underground for two to three minutes before recovering.

This unexpected turn of events served as a wake-up call for Zhao Zheng.

His Superman physiology was indeed impressive, being able to withstand such a powerful attack...

But!

It wasn't yet time to become completely invincible; he still needed to be cautious and not take things lightly.

Zhao Zheng's gaze swept across the arena.

Finally, it settled on the Tri-Eye.

"I had a great time!"

He said with a faint smile, "Tri-Eye, it seems you can't get up anymore. Well, this game is about to end."

The Tri-Eye remained silent.

It had already given up hope.

In Death Match mode, there was no option to concede.

It had been barely ten minutes since Zhao Zheng had started his defense of the arena, with over forty minutes still remaining.

That was more than enough time for Zhao Zheng to kill them hundreds of times over.

……

A thunderous explosion echoed through the arena.

The three-eyed monster and the demons by its side were instantly torn to pieces, their deaths beyond gruesome.

Zhao Zheng struck with deadly force, obliterating them in a single blow.

Witnessing this, the surviving demons and monsters among the audience finally realized the gravity of the situation.

Some of them fled in terror, while others stood frozen in place, closing their eyes and accepting their fate. Some even begged for mercy, disregarding their dignity.

Not a single one chose to resist!

Zhao Zheng's ferocious display had shattered their courage to fight back.

Amidst the varying choices of the participants...

Zhao Zheng treated them all the same—kill them all!

Beg for mercy?

When the three-eyed monster tried to immobilize Zhao Zheng, the other monsters were quick to strike, leaving no room for survival.

Now, it was too late to beg for mercy!

As for fleeing?

It was a joke. Zhao Zheng's speed attribute exceeded a thousand, who could outrun him? And with the limited space in the arena, where could they possibly escape?

...

It was time for a massacre.

...

In less than ten minutes, Zhao Zheng annihilated all the survivors.

He even ensured that no one could fake their deaths, taking the time to finish off the more intact "corpses."

But one of them, the old 6, kept playing dead until the very end.

Unfortunately, such low-level tactics were useless against Zhao Zheng.

The entire arena had transformed into a hellish battlefield, littered with dismembered bodies and pools of blood in various shades. The scene was incredibly gruesome.

The thick air of gore was so intense that even the spectators could smell the blood.

Countless onlookers trembled in fear.

Zhao Zheng was the only survivor standing in the arena, unharmed and victorious.

He remained the champion, unchallenged, as he defended his title...

After half an hour...

The first round of defending the title concluded.

Zhao Zheng's figure vanished from the arena.

The arena instantly reverted to its original state, the piles of bodies disappeared, and all traces of combat were erased, returning the arena to its pristine state.

In the human sector, the leaderboard displayed a dramatic change.

Song Haitang's team soared to 3458 points.

First place!!

On the girl's pretty face, a happy smile blossomed. However, she had experienced a similar situation before when Zhao Zheng had carried her through the competition, so she was immune to the excitement. With her cool temperament, she didn't show the same enthusiasm as Chen Kai and the others.

"Calm down, everyone!"

Zhao Zheng, seeing the crowd's excitement, smiled and said, "For me, this is just a basic operation. Don't get too worked up!"

At his words, everyone froze for a moment.

Song Haitang, however, was delighted.

She loved seeing Zhao Zheng's confident demeanor!

...

After a good while, the crowd finally calmed down and returned to their original seats.

Zhao Zheng did the same.

As soon as he sat down, he prepared to take out the legendary chest given to him by the second layer of the Spirit Realm.

He couldn't forget about this.

Zhao Zheng wasn't sure if the chest would still be there if he left the Spirit Realm without claiming it, or if the Spirit Realm would swallow it up...

With a thought, the space in front of him rippled, and a golden chest appeared, floating in mid-air before Zhao Zheng.

Everyone, except Song Haitang, was stunned by this sight.

"Big Bro Zhao, what is that?" Wang Fei asked directly.

Jiang Hebin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I know! This must be something Big Bro Zhao obtained in the second layer of the Spirit Realm."

Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Zheng, who didn't bother hiding anything. After all, everyone would forget what happened in the Spirit Realm.

Without further explanation, Zhao Zheng put on the glasses...

Instantly, in the eyes of the crowd, their Big Bro Zhao transformed.

Previously, Zhao Zheng had a dignified appearance, and after dominating the arena, he exuded a powerful aura, clearly marking him as someone not to be trifled with.

But with the glasses on, he became an entirely different person.

Although his facial features had changed, they remained dignified, but now he appeared gentle and refined, like a corporate elite.

The formidable aura around him vanished.

He looked like an ordinary person.

Everyone was shocked, including Song Haitang, whose face was filled with surprise.

"What's wrong? You all look so surprised, did I change a lot?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.

"Big Bro Zhao, your change is so drastic, it's like you've become a different person!" Jiang Hebin exclaimed, "If we hadn't seen you put on the glasses, we would have thought you were switched!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Oh?"

Zhao Zheng was a bit surprised.

Previously, when he watched Superman movies on Earth, he found the plot point where Superman puts on glasses and becomes a reporter, and no one recognizes him, to be rather far-fetched.

But now it seemed that Superman's glasses truly had something to them! The effect was surprisingly good.

No wonder everyone was so amazed.

"Big Bro Zhao, why don't you take off the glasses?" Chen Kai couldn't help but say, "The contrast is too much, and it's a bit creepy..."

The crowd nodded again.

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng smiled and removed the glasses.

Instantly, he regained his previous aura of the Demon Overlord!

"This is the Big Bro Zhao we know, he gives us a greater sense of security!" Shen Nanana laughed.
