99 contestants simultaneously started to move!
Some charged brazenly toward the contestants nearest to them, some retreated out of the battle zone immediately, some formed directly into small groups…
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The area outside the fighting ring also turned incredibly chaotic in no time. As the ferocious battle broke out and demons and monsters entered a dance of madness, the passion that the audience had accumulated over the last four years also fully erupted in this instant, and they started to scream and howl fervently.
“Come on, Allen! Kill those bastards!”
“Victory is yours, Jarvis!”

“Look out to your left! The left, you idiot…”
“Brat, this place isn't somewhere that you should be!” A big, burly, and muscular man pounced toward Meng Lei with a ferocious look in his eyes and a savage look on his face. “Daddy will send you home now!”
One must always pick those weaker than themselves when bullying others. This was a logic that everyone understood.
Meng Lei looked young and immature, so he must be a weakling for sure. The muscular man had set his sights on him a long time ago. As such, the moment the battle started, he had charged over the first moment he got.
Meng Lei stood still and motionless, allowing the muscular man to charge toward him all he wanted. In the instant right before the muscular man reached him, he turned slightly to the side and easily evaded his attack. Then, his left hand went smacking outward with the momentum.
Boom!
As if a speeding train had crashed into him, the muscular man was thrown out in an instant, and he flew right out of the ring.
“What's going on?”
The muscular man got off the floor and climbed onto his feet. He stared at the big, tall ring in a daze, and then at the spot where he was standing, a look of stupefaction all over his visage.
“How did I freaking land down here?”
“Amos, you idiot!”
A furious roar reached his ears from the back. The muscular man turned around to see a fat woman with a plump, stout figure and a face full of flesh glaring viciously at him with great difficulty. Her countenance was savage.
“H-honey!” A shiver went through the muscular man.
“Amos! You useless imbecile, idiot, good-for-nothing, piece of trash… I only got you a spot after spending 1,000,000 gold coins, yet you've wasted it just like that?”
The fatty flesh on the obese woman quivered as she said, “I'm going to skin you after we get home today and give you a taste of the 18 torture methods1…”
“Honey, I—”
The muscular man was as pale as a sheet, and he shook like a leaf.
“That guy…”
Meng Lei had overheard the fat woman and the muscular man's entire conversation. Aside from finding it funny, he didn't feel an ounce of compassion for him at all.
Of all people, why must he target him?
He could only blame himself for being unlucky.
Whoosh!
At this point, the sharp sound of something slicing through the air suddenly rang out beside his ear. Meng Lei raised an eyebrow and turned his head to the side slightly. A flying dagger gleaming with a chilly glint flew right by his ear.
“A sneak attack?”
Meng Lei turned around leisurely to see a small, skinny figure wrapped in black clothes about three meters behind him.
Both his head and neck were solidly wrapped, and only a pair of cold, emotionless eyes was left exposed.
“How can this be?”
However, there was a hint of shock in that pair of eyes at that moment. “You've actually dodged my flying dagger despite there being only such a short distance between the two of us? And when you even had your back to me?”
Meng Lei abruptly showed up right in front of the small, skinny figure. As their eyes met, he whispered in a low voice, “The entire ring is shrouded in my spiritual power. Ambushing me? What a joke!”
“What?!”
The small, skinny figure was greatly astounded. Then, he felt an intense, severe pain coming from his abdomen. He lowered his head to see that Meng Lei's fist had landed squarely against his abdomen.
Boom!
A surging, great force assailed him, and the small, skinny figure turned directly into a launched cannonball and flew right out of the ring.
“That's a mid-level eighth-grade assassin.” Meng Lei secretly sighed inwardly. “He's no weakling. It's just a shame that he ran into me.”
Meng Lei looked toward the others—the free-for-all was still ongoing.
Aside from the two that he had blasted off the ring, the other contestants had also reaped their own respective rewards. A contestant was eliminated every two seconds, and the number of contestants in the ring decreased at a rapid rate.
90, 80, 70, 60…
Five minutes later, only over 20 people remained in the ring. The situation gradually became clear—aside from Meng Lei and a few other experts, everyone else was in small teams.
As the saying went, “A fence needs the support of three stakes, and an able fellow needs the help of three other people.”
In a free-for-all arena battle like this, even a small team comprising only three people would hold an extremely big advantage over others and benefit greatly, let alone when many of the small teams seemed to have come prepared.
There were as many as five to six people in the teams, and one of them even went up to as many as ten members.
A ten-man team! There was no need for a further explanation behind the meaning of the team!
“Victory will be ours, Team Fighting Dragon's!”
That's right, Team Fighting Dragon was the ten-man team. Not only did they coordinate well with each other, but they were adept at both offense and defense, swiftly cutting down the rest of the contestants like a ferocious tiger that had emerged from the mountains.
Boom!
Team Fighting Dragon eliminated a five-man team.
Boom!
Another solo expert was blasted off the ring by Team Fighting Dragon.
Boom!
In the twinkling of an eye, aside from Team Fighting Dragon, only Meng Lei, another Magician, and a six-man team remained in the ring.
“Wipe them out!”
Team Fighting Dragon turned around and charged toward the six-man team. Under the current circumstances, the six-man team posed the biggest threat. As long as they could wipe out the six-man team, Meng Lei and the other Magician didn't pose a threat to them at all.
“The two sirs there. Let's join hands and wipe out Team Fighting Dragon!”
Upon sensing the great threat, the six-man team hastily tried to recruit Meng Lei and the other Magician. “As long as we join hands and finish off Team Fighting Dragon, we'll win!”
“That's right! There's only eight of us in total…”
A glint flashed across the Magician's eyes, and he instantly agreed to the six-man team's suggestion and formed an alliance with them.
Meng Lei, on the other hand, was taken aback for a moment there. “Form an alliance?”
“Let's finish off that fellow first. I've taken notice of him for a very long while now.”
“He's very strong. We mustn't allow them to form an alliance. Otherwise, things will become very troublesome.”
At the sight of this, Team Fighting Dragon temporarily looked away from the six-man team and targeted Meng Lei instead. Then, they charged directly toward him.
Team Fighting Dragon was made up of ten Dragon People. They had either a pair of horns on their heads, Dragon scales on their faces, or a Dragon tail at their bottoms…
The ten Dragon People were strong and powerful, and their performance in the ring just now had directly conquered countless spectators' hearts. At the sight of them charging toward Meng Lei, the audience broke into screams and cheers, shouting and rooting for them.
“Go for it! Go for it, Team Fighting Dragon!”
“Finish him off! Victory is yours!”
“I love you, Team Fighting Dragon…”
Boom!
As though ten T-rexes, Team Fighting Dragon came crushing toward Meng Lei with an aura capable of ripping everything into shreds. “Kid, if you know what's good for you, then get the hell off the ring yourself, lest we end up having to dirty our hands!”
“Bastard! Serves you right!”
The muscular man, the small, skinny figure, and others that Meng Lei had thrown out of the ring just now were overjoyed at the sight of this. Delight flashed across their eyes, seemingly already witnessing the scene of Meng Lei being beaten into a pulp and thrown off the ring.
“To think there are actually people looking down on me!”
Meng Lei was as calm and collected as always. As he gazed at Team Fighting Dragon coming toward him with a crushing momentum, his right hand grabbed upward toward the sky, and all the Thunder Elements within 1,000 meters converged madly.
In a mere instant, a silver, savage-looking monster revealed itself and floated above the fighting ring.
“A t-thunder dragon?”
All the spectators gasped, their cheers abruptly dying down.
Team Fighting Dragon also raised their heads, only to see a Colossal Dragon with a wingspan of over 1,000 meters and wholly formed by lightning manifesting above their heads.

Its empty, vacant eyes bore coldly into them, and its brutal, raging might engulfed the entire venue. Despite standing a great distance away, Team Fighting Dragon could still feel the thunder dragon's fearsomeness, nevertheless.
In a split second, everyone in Team Fighting Dragon swallowed hard, cold sweat trickling down their backs as a thought welled up within them, “Should it strike me, wouldn't I be a total goner?”
Howl!
The thought had only just occurred to them when the thunder dragon suspended above them suddenly let out a loud, sonorous dragon roar. Then, it flapped its wings and swooped down headfirst.
Boom!
The arena exploded in an instant!
