Chapter 776 - The Expected Result - Part 2

Alun Gaynor swallowed mouthful saliva as he observed his opponent. He was not the main fighter from the New Nation, and he was the eleventh strongest in the rooster. His role in this match was a sacrifice, so the others who were stronger than him could secure them a ticket for second place.

Yes, the New Nation planned to send a weaker member to fight the Major Faction, such as the Tang Empire, so their stronger factions could fight the other five factions that were about the same level as them. However, Alun Gaynor did not expect to face the leader of the Tang Empire. He flinched and looked down when he met his opponent's black left eye and unique purple right eye.

'But I have to fight, so the World Union and the other Major Factions will find out how strong The Tang Empire's leader is.' Alun Gaynor was determined to fight instead of surrendering. He could just surrender, but he decided to fight, hoping he could force the opponent to reveal his true strength.

The New Nation was part of the World Union's alliance, so the World Union tasked the New Nation to fight instead of surrender. The faceless avatar on the arena started moving, and this faceless avatar was the referee for the match. It was written in the rules book.

[Participant Tang Shaoyang, ready?] A static voice came from the faceless avatar. Tang Shaoyang nodded his head, and the faceless avatar turned toward Alun Gaynor. [Participant Alun Gaynor, ready?]. Alun nodded his head in response.

[An intentional killing is prohibited. If you intentionally killed your opponent, you and your faction will be eliminated from the tournament. The Participants can also surrender if you deem you can't fight any longer! If the referee deems the participant can no longer fight, the participant is considered to lose!]

[Ready? 3… 2… 1… Fight Start!] The faceless avatar announced the start of the fight, but none of the participants launched their attacks.

Tang Shaoyang remained on the spot, but he could sense the anxiousness and fear from his opponent. The fight had not started yet, but the man was scared of him already. He was honestly surprised because he controlled his aura well. "You can surrender if you are scared to fight." His intention meant well as he gave his opponent a chance to surrender, but he said it on the wrong occasion.

"Do you think I am afraid of you?" Alun Gaynor grew furious upon hearing that from Tang Shaoyang. He was about to make his move, but he suddenly lost sight of Tang Shaoyang. In the next second, a palm was right before his face. The palm gripped his face, and he felt like his body was flying in the air.

Boom!

Tang Shaoyang slammed the head onto the tiles. The tile cracked as blood spread on the cracked tile. Alun Gaynor also stopped moving at the same time. He immediately released his grip from his opponent and raised his two hands. He was copying the action of a football player when he pushed someone else down. Of course, in this case, Tang Shaoyang had no intention of killing his opponent. It was a pure accident.

"I am sorry. I don't know that my opponent is too weak." Tang Shaoyang took two steps back from the unconscious Alun Gaynor and looked down at the body. "He is still breathing, though. Do you want me to heal him? I have a healer on my side." He was speaking to the faceless avatar.

"LIE! He is intentionally trying to kill his opponent. Based on the rule book, he should be disqualified!" The New Nation's guild leader stood from his chair and pointed his finger at Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes and shrugged off. "Blame the System for disabling the [Basic Detection] skill. If I know his level, maybe I can control my strength. There's no reason for me to kill nobody, too, risking my spot in the tournament."

"Regardless of your intention, you should bear responsibility for killing an innocent guy in the fighting tournament." The World Union's leader also joined. "We will talk this out after the match is over."

[Tang Shaoyang is the first-round winner between The Tang Empire Vs. The New Nation!]

[Please for the New Nation Faction to take your injured member from the arena. If you don't retrieve your member within thirty seconds, we will send the body outside the arena right away.]

"Bear the responsibility? Are you joking with me?" Tang Shaoyang grinned as he met with Hines Myers' eyes. "If you are scared of dying, then you should never join the tournament. You shall have realized the risks of joining the fighting tournament, and one of them is dying."

At this moment, three people from the New Nation came through the portal to get Alun Gaynor. Tang Shaoyang took out a vial of healing potion and threw it toward one of them. "As I said, it was an accident. Take this healing potion for your friend." He discovered that the System and the referee did not have the intention of healing the injured, so he gave the New Nation a healing potion. While the healing potion might be precious for the smaller factions, it was nothing for the Tang Empire. They had a lot of healing potions from the treasure chest from clearing the mini-games.

The portal to return to the booth appeared for Tang Shaoyang, but he did not immediately return to the booth. He looked up to the World Union's leader. "I don't know what's your problem with me, but it seems you try to make me a public enemy to the other factions. I don't care what your intention is, but if you and your faction or even whatever the Central Government is getting on my way, then I will destroy you guys without mercy!"

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang turned around and walked toward the portal gate. He was about to enter the portal but paused midway. He turned his head and scanned the other factions. "Ah, it applies to all of you."
