Chapter 775 - The Expected Result - Part 1

Tang Shaoyang and his team were teleported once more, and this time he appeared inside the arena. The area was like a giant colosseum with a big square arena in the middle. Zhang Mengyao and Revalor were next to him, but he heard a voice from behind.

Kang Xue, Li Na, Yu Shun, and the others were behind them, right behind their booth, cheering for them. Tang Shaoyang smiled at them before scanning the surroundings. To the right was a faction called Blue Vest. They were wearing a blue vest with a blue jacket, having a matching uniform. To the left was a faction called the First Order Guild. The First Order's guild members did not have matching outfits, but they were fully equipped.

Tang Shaoyang tried to use [Basic Detection] on one of them, but the skill did not work. [You can't use [Basic Detection] in the System's space!]. That was the notification from the System after he tried to use the skill. He was about to look away from the First Order Guild until he noticed a middle-aged man smiled and nodded toward him.

'Huh!?' This was the first time he attended the System's event, so he did not know anyone. However, this middle-aged man acted as an acquaintance, but he quickly realized the middle-aged man was greeting Zhang Mengyao. "Do you know someone from the First Order Guild?" He asked Zhang Mengyao. He did not know that they had a relationship with the First Order Guild.

Zhang Mengyao shook her head. "I don't know them, but we have a little history with them." She told Tang Shaoyang what happened in the World Congress when the young member of the First Order Guild laughed at them. Of course, she did not miss to tell him that Lu An easily scared the First Order Guild.

"What about The World Union? Those people have been staring at us from the start. Do we have a beef against them?" Tang Shaoyang pointed his finger at the World Union's booth across from them. He could know what faction they were because there was a floating name above each booth. He could not help but notice since the people from the World Union had been staring in his direction intensely.

"I am not sure, but maybe they resent us. To be more exact, they tried to create a centralized government, but we messed up with them. Maybe they failed to establish the Central Government because of us, so they resent us." Zhang Mengyao shrugged. They had an argument, but it was merely an argument. She was not sure either what caused the World Union to have that kind of reaction.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and started scanning the other people. Since he could not use [Basic Detection], he tried to measure these people's strength based on their aura. He could not scan all the people in the arena as The System interrupted him.

[Welcome to the Earth Arena. An artificial arena built by the system for the Earth's event!]

[We have divided the factions into groups, ensuring that the group is divided fairly. The factions should have received the book rulers from the System, so we don't need to explain the rules. We will start the tournament right away, and we will start the tournament with Group A.]

[First Match, Tang Empire vs. New Nation!]

[For the factions from the other groups, you don't have to watch the fight, and The System will notify you when your group is about to start.]

Tang Shaoyang was surprised that his faction would be the first one to walk on the stage. After the notification from the system, he got a personal notification as the leader of the Tang Empire.

[Please submit five fighters for your match against New Nation!]

Tang Shaoyang did not immediately put the names into the list as he tried to find where the New Nation's booth was. He found the New Nation's booth on the third floor of the arena, and they were looking back at him as well. He quickly scanned the fifteen fighters before muttering in a low voice. "This should be an easy fight."

Tang Shaoyang then put his name for the first fighter on the list before looking at the other fifteen. "So, who wants to fight in our first round?"

"Why do you put your name in the first match?" Zhang Mengyao could see his name on the list and questioned Tang Shaoyang. He should be the final boss, and even if they wanted to put his name in the list, it should be on the fifth, the last round of best of five, not the first.

"I want the Best Fighter's title for the bonus reward, so I figure that I have to fight from the first match of the group stage until the last match of the playoff stage." Tang Shaoyang did not hide his plan to get the reward as the best fighter in the tournament. The System did not specifically mention the reward, but he wanted to be the first to receive the reward. In order to be the best fighter, he had to fight and become undefeated.

"Let me fight!" Pride and Kairu were the first to raise their hands, so he put their names on the list. He submitted the names immediately. For the last fighter, he put Revalor and Liang Suyin. He figured that the last two people would not fight as he, Pride, and Kairu would easily sweep the first three rounds.

It seems the New Nation was prepared by their fighter selection as well, and ten names appeared above the arena. Tang Shaoyang's name was the first, and there was a golden crown next to his name. It was a symbol that he was the faction leader of the Tang Empire. The others were surprised that the faction leader directly stepped into the arena in the first match.

A portal gate appeared inside the booth as the System notified Tang Shaoyang to step up to the arena. He walked through the portal and appeared above the arena.. He looked up to see his opponent's name, Alun Gaynor.
