Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Nangong Ru sat in the middle of the audience seats with her arms crossed, listening to the chatter of the myriad races around her, a hint of worry showing in her eyes.

This gladiatorial battle is of great importance to the human race.

As the Director General of the Night Watch, she knew better than anyone the importance of the White Dusk Forest to the human empire.

If the White Dusk Forest is under the control of the human race, it will form a natural barrier outside the western border, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But once it falls under the control of other races...

Especially in the current situation, all races are eager to seize the Azure Dragon Treasure.

If White Dusk Forest were lost, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"The first duel is about to begin..."

The host was yelling into the microphone again.

Because there are too many races in this competition, it is necessary to divide them into groups for the competition.

"The first match: Baga, Orc - Asura Realm Stage 9, vs. Arthur, Human - Myriad Manifestations Realm Stage 1..."

After the host finished speaking into the microphone, he was stunned for a moment.

He held the tablet in his hand, even wanting to tap and refresh it a few times to see if there was a problem with the system.

The audience erupted in cheers after the announcement.

"For such an important match, the human race only sent one warrior at the early stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm to fight???"

"Could there really be no humans left?"

"Hahahaha... Damn! Is this supposed to be a joke??"

"That human warrior, isn't he just cannon fodder that was pushed out?"

"Hurry up, I'm going to place a bet! I'm betting all 300 gold coins I have on the orc Baga to win!"

Seeing this, Nangong Qiuyue immediately became anxious: "What are Yege and Longying doing! I know how important the White Dusk Forest is, are they both drunk??"

"Sis! Say something!"

"..."

Nangong Ru was silent for a moment, then glanced at her: "You and Ye Ge have known each other since childhood. What kind of person do you think he is?"

Nangong Qiuyue's lips moved slightly: "He..."

What do you think of his abilities?

"Very strong!"

Nangong Qiuyue answered without hesitation and nodded seriously.

"But this isn't his turn to play..."

"Then do you think there's anyone who can make him suffer?" Nangong Ru asked again.

"It seems... there really isn't!"

Nangong Qiuyue pursed her lips.

That guy Ye Ge, he's got a whole set of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to ripping people off!

“In that case, let’s trust him.” Nangong Ru leaned back gently. “Trust his judgment and ability.”

She recalled her time in the Azure Dragon Palace of Extreme Yin...

That reliable figure...

Although this guy can be quite unserious at times.

But they have never been unreliable.

Nangong Qiuyue then turned her head and asked curiously, "Hey, sis, why do I feel like you know Ye Ge's abilities better than I do?"

"..." Nangong Ru was speechless. "Let's watch the game..."

......

Inside the arena.

The two warriors facing off in the first match have already stepped into the center of the arena.

Arthur and the orc Baga faced off in battle.

The two have a huge height difference.

Arthur was only 1.75 meters tall, wearing what appeared to be ordinary human light armor, and wielding a pair of enormous mechanical gauntlets.

The orc Baga stands at a height of 2.91 meters! Clad in heavy blue steel armor and wielding two blood-stained broad-bladed giant axes, he is like a mountain when he stands there!

The weapon in his hand and the heavy armor he wore were all of red quality! And they had been enhanced with +11 stars!

"Shorty!" the orc Baga grinned menacingly. "Looks like your master is using you as cannon fodder. Why don't you just admit defeat? Otherwise, you'll be chopped into mincemeat by my giant axe in a bit, and that won't be a pretty sight!"

Arthur completely ignored him.

He stepped back six or seven meters, getting into a fighting stance.

"court death!"

The orc Baga stared wide-eyed.

Inside a private box on the second floor of the arena, Long Ying turned to look at Ye Ge thoughtfully: "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

Ye Ge smiled, reached out, and secretly squeezed Long Ying's small hand under her imperial robe.

Long Ying's cheeks flushed instantly, and she said shyly in a low voice, "Are you crazy... there are so many people around..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, just watch." Ye Ge said confidently, "This will definitely be a spectacular battle."

As he spoke, he turned to look at General Chen Wu standing beside him: "Aren't you right, General Chen Wu?"

Upon hearing this, General Chen Wu also revealed a confident smile: "Lord Ye Ge is right!"

Long Ying was slightly taken aback.

Although she knew that General Chen Wu's army had received training from the Ye family a couple of days ago...

But what happened to make General Chen Wu believe it so much?

"roar......!!!!"

With a roar from an orc, the bloody battle in the arena officially began.

The orc Baga's massive body charged out like a tank.

Every step I took left a crack in the ground!

Orcs' Tier 1 Basic Combat Skill - Savage Charge!

Although it is only a first-tier combat skill, with the powerful soul power and physical enhancement of a peak Asura Realm expert, the destructive power of this move is unparalleled!

Arthur thought to himself, 'Lord Nightsong said we can't appear too overwhelming...'

'He's only at the first stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm right now. If he were to completely overwhelm a ninth-level Asura Realm cultivator, it would attract too much attention...'

'Then let's make it a long game, and in the end, let it look like we won by sheer luck or coincidence!'

"Click!!!"

The orc Baga swung down with a heavy blow.

His savage charge was easily dodged by Arthur with a sidestep, and the massive axe cleaved only to strike his left leg.

The light armor on Arthur's body emitted a buzzing, technological glow.

Even the gaiters on his legs and the boots on his feet hummed and glowed faintly.

This glimmer of light is insignificant; no one will care.

No one would have guessed that the seemingly ordinary light armor Arthur wore contained incredibly sophisticated nanoscale metal technology!

His pair of mechanical gauntlets also had their technological textures flashing and lighting up, and the mechanical gears inside began to rotate with a "click-clack" sound!
