Chapter 378: Let’s Begin?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Hearing these words, Toby didn’t relax at all, “Although Joelson is powerful, he doesn’t have any fame in the Plane of Slaughter. He’s not like the others. Even if they become weak, others will fear their fame. But Joelson is different.”
Toby shook his head, then he said, “No matter how powerful Joelson is, he will become weak after ten battles. When others see that Joelson is weak and have never heard of his name, they will naturally take the chance to challenge him. If anything unexpected happens, Joelson will lose the right to go to the tomb of the sovereign. Only by forcefully crushing that weakened ringmaster and showing enough strength will others fear his strength and not dare to challenge him easily!”
Hearing this, Edessa also showed a worried look and looked at Joelson with a worried look.
“What should we do? Will anything happen to Joelson?” Edessa said anxiously.
“What else can we do? We can only hope that he wins ten matches in a row. If it really can’t be done, we can go back and ask Father to see if he has any ideas,” Toby said helplessly.
Then, he added, “But with Joelson’s strength, I think it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to win ten matches. After all, the most powerful group of people have basically already been challenged. They have either already stepped onto the stage, or they have already failed and lost the qualification to challenge.”
“The remaining people will also prioritize those arena lords who have experienced a few battles and become weak.”
Hearing Toby’s analysis, Edessa’s nervous mood relaxed slightly, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes. She wasn’t completely at ease.
The two of them looked towards the dueling platform.
That weak arena lord had been chosen by a mid-stage demigod challenger.
The others had also chosen their own arena lords to be their opponents.
But Joelson was still standing there.
Edessa saw this scene and felt relieved, thinking that Joelson was waiting for the next weak challenger.
Toby was a little nervous and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
He clearly saw Joelson’s gaze fall on the Ripper!
Could it be that he wanted to challenge the Ripper?
Toby couldn’t help but regret it. Why did he tell Joelson about the feud between him and the Ripper?
He thought that Joelson must have heard about the feud between him and the Ripper, so he wanted to teach the Ripper a lesson for him.
However, in reality...
This was indeed one of the reasons why Joelson chose the Ripper as his opponent.
Joelson walked forward step by step.
Toby and Edessa were able to give him the keys to the inheritance, which could be considered a great opportunity for him. Moreover, the two of them sincerely regarded him as a friend, and they did not hide anything from him.
Naturally, he would also treat them as friends. He was determined to knock this Ripper off the stage.
Apart from the relationship between the two of them.
Another reason was that, to him, it did not matter who he chose as his opponent.
No matter if it was the weak ringmaster or the Ripper who was at the peak, they could not hinder him at all.
Joelson walked up to the dueling ring where the Ripper was.
Because the Ripper was at its peak, no one came forward to challenge him.
Seeing Joelson walk up to the Ripper’s dueling ring, Toby’s heart sank. He was both worried and grateful.
On one hand, he was grateful that Joelson could stand up for him.
He was lucky that he could make a friend of Joelson.
On the other hand, he was worried that Joelson would waste too much of his energy on the Ripper, which would increase the difficulty of the next challenge.
Although he had seen Joelson defeat a god with such power, regardless of whether it was because he had snatched the opportunity that belonged to him, the Ripper was one of the most powerful experts of the younger generation in Orencia.
It was far from what an ordinary peak demigod could compare to. Even the god who had chased after him last time wasn’t a match for the Ripper.
The nearby Edessa, upon seeing this scene, once more began to worry.
The people in the Imperial Plaza all had puzzled looks on their faces as they began to discuss this matter.
“How could someone have entered the Ripper’s dueling platform?”
“Could it be that he is the disciple of a highgod expert? A hidden super-genius?”
“Impossible. If he is a hidden super-genius and the disciple of a highgod, no matter how hidden he is, it is impossible for there to be no news at all. As for this person, I’ve never heard of him!”
“I think he came from some small place. I don’t think he has heard of the name of the Ripper, right? Hahaha...”
“Hahaha...! You’re right. He actually dares to challenge the Ripper. I think after he loses, he won’t even dare to leave his small hometown!”
Hearing the discussions of the people in the plaza, Toby’s face turned ugly.
Edessa grew angry as well. Waving her small fists, she said, “Just you wait! Wait for Joelson to defeat the Ripper and shock your jaws out!”
However, as if he did not hear the discussions around him, Joelson calmly walked up to the Ripper’s dueling platform.
Seeing that someone dared to challenge him, the Ripper revealed a wanton smile. The scar on his face was twisted, making him look even more ferocious.
“Don’t worry, I won’t defeat you in one move!” Ripper said with a ferocious laugh.
Hearing this, Joelson’s face was calm, and there was no change in his expression.
Joelson looked at Ripper coldly and said faintly, “I will.”
Ripper was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard wrong.
“Can we start?” Joelson asked impatiently.
This kind of person had always been his most hated. Before a battle, he always had to say something big.
Only then did Ripper react. His smile froze on his face.
Then, Ripper’s smile turned into an angry expression. The scars on his face began to twist and tremble, as if there was a ferocious centipede dancing on his face.
“I can’t kill you on this duel stage, but I will try my best to make the process of this battle longer. I will let you deeply feel what despair is!”
Ripper gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Joelson only gave Ripper a calm glance, then ignored him.
This caused Ripper to grow even more furious. If it weren’t for the restrictions of the rules, he would have wanted nothing more than to kill this arrogant punk right now!
Soon, all ten dueling platforms were filled with challengers.
“Let the duel begin.”
In the judges’ seats, a god spoke lazily, clearly quite uninterested.
The other judges looked the same.
As far as they were concerned, the results of the competition had already been decided.
They could tell at a glance who would win ten matches in a row, and who would be too weak to continue.
Only, occasionally, one or two of the judges would turn their gazes to Joelson.
“This kid seems to be quite interesting.”
“No matter how strong he is, arrogance is very noticeable.”
The two judges smiled and said.
