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

So this guy really isn't...

Tianhao pondered for a moment, then thought there was another possibility.

Players can also forge a fake panel to deliberately cause other players to misjudge when scanning it.

The "Jiang Xiaoming" who bet against them in the player space is cunning and very likely to do something like this!

"So, therefore..."

Jiang Xiaoming asked cautiously, "You must have mistaken me for someone else, right? May I leave now?"

"Leave?" Tianhao narrowed his eyes. "You can indeed leave, but..."

"Let me see you off!"

Say it.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaoming by the neck!

"Well!!!!?"

Jiang Xiaoming's eyes widened, and before he could react to what was happening, he was lifted up roughly.

Tianhao's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly gripping his neck.

"You're just putting on an act with me."

Tianhao said in a sinister tone.

The more force was applied with his fingers, the more difficult it became for Jiang Xiaoming to breathe. A hoarse sound came from his throat, and his neck and above turned completely purplish-red.

If he were to apply just a little more pressure with his fingers now, he could easily take Jiang Xiaoming's life!

Tianhao squinted at Jiang Xiaoming.

The panic, helplessness, and physiological reaction of fear of death on this kid's face couldn't possibly be faked.

This is the kind of reaction only a nobody would have.

Words can lie, but bodily physiological responses do not.

Those who have walked on the brink of death countless times and crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood have a completely different attitude towards death than ordinary people. It is absolutely impossible to fake this feeling.

"Your Highness!" A Celestial warrior standing nearby quickly warned, "This person is a future human contestant. If we kill him now..."

Tianhao snorted coldly: "Of course I know, do you need to tell me? I just wanted to test him."

After saying that, he released his fingers.

Jiang Xiaoming fell to the ground, clutching his throat, coughing and gagging violently.

Tianhao glanced at him disdainfully and sat back in the sedan chair: "It seems he really isn't that person; he must have used a fake name."

"Let's go." Tianhao waved his hand.

"Your Highness, what about this person?" The Celestial Warrior glanced at Jiang Xiaoming on the ground.

"He's just by the roadside, not the person I'm looking for. I don't need to worry about him, I'll just leave him here," Tianhao said dismissively.

Celestial Warrior: "Yes!"

The Heavenly Clan's sedan chair was carried away.

Jiang Xiaoming rested on the ground for a while before slowly overcoming his still weak legs. He rubbed his neck and struggled to get up from the ground.

"Are you alright?" a voice asked from the side.

Cang Feng was standing next to him at some point, leaning against a lamppost by the roadside, but he wasn't looking at him. He was holding a book and reading it.

"OK......"

Jiang Xiaoming responded and slowly stood up.

He raised his hands, looked at his still trembling palms, and his expression was complicated.

"Teacher Cangfeng, do you think Yege is afraid of death? What is his attitude when facing imminent death?"

Cang Feng pushed up his glasses again, his gaze still fixed on the book in his hands: "Based on my past interactions with him and my understanding of him... well, I don't know much about him, I can't see through him, so I don't know."

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

......

"Now, please welcome the first pair of fighters to the stage for today's gladiator match!!!"

Inside the Dragon's Nest Colosseum, the host, microphone in hand, stirred the atmosphere with a soaring aria.

"Mongo, a half-orc warrior from the Night Clan of humans!!"

The steel gates of the arena opened, and Mongo, an orc clad in full Night Clan heavy armor, strode out, resembling a heavy humanoid tank. He stood in the center of the arena, raised his arms, spun around, roared at the orcish faction that had once abandoned him, and then pounded his chest several times with his fists.

"OHHHHHHH~~~~!!!"

Audiences from all over the world erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Uh... Although this person is a half-orc, he is registered as a warrior of the human faction. It seems that he was taken in by Lord Yege of the Ye family a long time ago."

The host picked up the script and briefly introduced Mongo.

"Next up is his opponent, the Tauren warrior, Bardo!!!"

......

The outcome of this match was almost a foregone conclusion.

It was a completely one-sided battle. Mongo charged forward with his spiked club and knocked his opponent to the ground with just two blows, without even needing his genetic weaponry to be effective.

The next few matches had almost the same outcome, with Mongo winning easily within a few rounds, and none of his opponents lasting more than three rounds.

Bai Qing watched this scene and smiled, saying, "Mongo is having a lot of fun."

Arthur said, "Although Lord Nightsong instructed him to tone it down a bit, it seems he didn't heed the advice..."

Li Shuying said, "Let him be. This guy has been holding back for so long."

Night Owl crossed his arms, gazing at the invincible orc warriors sweeping through the arena below. He picked at the toothpick in his mouth, thinking, "This kid's training warriors are starting to look pretty good..."

Then Night Owl asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why hasn't Night Song arrived at the venue yet?"

Gao Shenxue said softly, "Xiao Ye just messaged me saying he'll probably be about ten minutes late."

Xia Xiyao nodded in agreement: "Yes, Xiao Ye told us not to wait for him, I'll be there soon!"

Night Owl grinned: "Tch...this kid, always late for everything..."

Empress Longying sat to the side, and frowned slightly when she heard Xia Xiyao and Gao Shenxue's words.

She then lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Although Ye Ge is her minister, if anything happens to him, will he still inform his two childhood sweethearts first?

So many girls were together, yet only those two were notified...

Empress Longying gently bit her lip with her canine teeth.

"Humph......"
