Everything happened so quickly. It was almost a matter of seconds from the moment they began their attacks until the burly man, who resembled a mountain of flesh, was sent crashing down from the stage.
Many in the audience hadn't even processed what had happened before the match was over. It was an absolute domination.
"Wow, I blinked my eyes twice, and this big chunk of flesh was sent flying. Could this guy be B-level?" one of the spectators, a mercenary, asked in amazement.
"Idiot, that's Chu Tian, they call him the unbeatable among B-level and below," another mercenary explained.
"No wonder he's so strong; he's the little brother who once killed a thousand monsters in one mission," a woman in her twenties admired, "I really want to have a child to play with someone so strong."
"Just you? Don't daydream, you should get some plastic surgery first," another female mercenary replied, dismissing her.
However, Chu Tian didn't pay much attention to the audience's comments. Instead, he was puzzled by the notion that he had become known as "the little brother who killed a thousand monsters in one mission" and "unbeatable among B-level and below."
Just as he was contemplating this, the host unexpectedly stepped onto his arena. She had a professional smile as she looked at Chu Tian and extended her hand downward.
Chu Tian politely shook her hand and returned the smile, but he couldn't help but wonder why the host had come to the stage herself. Did she want to challenge him?
However, he kept a vigilant eye on the host, especially considering Kleya's past actions as an example. Moreover, he couldn't detect any information about this cyborg female host.
The host explained, "The Commander-in-Chief just suggested that you should consider skipping the C-level Talent Warriors' Martial Arts Tournament and directly participate in the competition among B-level Talent Warriors. After all, in this setting, it's likely that these C-level Talent Warriors won't be much of a match for you. What do you say?"
Chu Tian contemplated the suggestion for a moment. With his current talent points, he wasn't too concerned about skipping the C-level tournament, and he was interested in testing his abilities among B-level Talent Warriors.
However, he noticed something unusual. The host mentioned the "Commander-in-Chief," but the highest-ranking official present today was General Hualun, the commander of the mercenary base. The Executive Commander of Base Three, who was mentioned by the host, was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Tian's suspicions arose, but he decided it might just be due to his outstanding performance in previous missions that he was considered for this promotion. Perhaps he was indeed seen as exceptionally talented.
He was given a new badge with the number "0" for the B-level competition. Chu Tian wondered if there was any hidden agenda, but when he looked towards the members of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Team gathered around the eighth arena, they seemed preoccupied with the ongoing fights. The high-ranking members of the mercenary base in the audience also appeared normal.
Chu Tian then turned his attention back to the arena, where his opponent had been reinvigorated with a dose of Elf's Tears mixed with fish liver oil by the mechanical guards, ensuring fairness in the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, the spectators were in awe of Chu Tian's abilities. They commented on how strong he was compared to C-level Talent Warriors and expressed concerns about the difference in spiritual energy levels between C and B levels.
As the C-level tournament reached its conclusion and the final eight contestants were announced, Chu Tian noticed that the Lone Wolf Mercenary Team had three members advancing to the next stage: Leisiwen, Black Robe Sam Green, and Wang Nuodan. Wang Nuodan's advancement was expected, considering her two talents could easily overpower her opponents.
With the C-level competition wrapped up, it was time for the B-level Talent Warriors to take the stage. When the host announced the start of the matches and called for contestants "0" and "7" to enter the arena, the B-level competitors were puzzled, as "0" was not a typical draw number in the tournament.
However, when they saw Chu Tian, a C-level Talent Warrior, stepping onto the stage as contestant "0," they realized what was happening. It was a surprise for them to see Chu Tian participating in the B-level competition.
As the B-level matches began, Chu Tian focused on the contest at hand. He watched as Norta continued his fights, successfully defeating several challengers with his precise combat skills and fire talent. However, as the seventh and eighth challengers stepped up, Norta was struggling, and eventually, he was defeated.
With two of the X Mercenary Team's three members already eliminated, all eyes were on Chu Tian to see how he would perform in the B-level competition.
