Strachey was so focused on his anger he forgot about the military, which was a formidable faction not to be provoked. What’s more, they always defended their people.

The Parkers weren’t afraid of anyone, but they preferred not to cross the military.

That was why he couldn’t kill Song Yicheng.

F**k!

The champion from the Parkers dukedom felt frustrated enough to vomit blood.

“Go ahead.” Wang Teng waved a hand and dismissed him impatiently.

The other snorted and took to the skies.

Boom!

There was an explosion immediately after. Strachey was filled with rage, so he could only vent by bashing his opponent. Fire Force engulfed his body as he hurled his punches; he didn’t use any weapons, but the strength was formidable.

Song Yicheng could handle his attacks in the beginning, but things got difficult as time went by. Punches kept landing on his body.

Bang!

He lost in the. Strachey stepped on him, pushing him against the ground. The latter vomited blood, as he was seriously injured.

The victor was brutal. He didn’t go for the kill, but he injured the opponent seriously, enough to prevent him from taking part in the next round.

Most importantly, he actually stepped on Song Yicheng’s head. It was a blatant humiliation.

Song Yicheng’s eyes turned bloodshot. Blood dripped down the corners of his lips.

“Gasp!” It was a collective gasp made by the audience.

Strachey was indeed ruthless. He stepped on a warrior from the military!

Wang Teng’s expression darkened; a sharp glint flashed past the depths of his eyes, although barely noticeable. It was an undeserved calamity for Song Yicheng.

Others were still implicated by his feud with the Parkers.

He wouldn’t have taken it to heart if it were a normal competition. Yes, Song Yicheng might be a talent from the military, and losing would merely be an indicator of him not being strong enough.

Still, Strachey vented his anger on him, purposely making him lose in a pitiful manner. He even stepped on his head to humiliate him.

Hong Jinghou and Lu Jing clenched their fists in anger when they saw this happen.

Aside from Wang Teng, they were the only three of them left in the top five hundred. And yet, Strachey kicked one of them out, and injured him heavily. It was unbearable.

The winner returned to his seat and glanced at the young hero.

Once the day’s proceedings ended, Wang Teng left his seat and went to take a look at Song Yicheng.

Strachey smirked.

The loser was in bad shape. He was still awake when he received Wang Teng, but he was extremely weak at the moment. Many bones in his body were broken; he wouldn’t be able to recover quickly. This would bar him from going to the next round.

Wang Teng remained silent for a while, then said, “I’m sorry!”

“This has nothing to do with you. I don’t blame you.” Song Yicheng shook his head. “Without you, I would still run into Strachey and end up like this.”

That was the truth. Based on his rival’s personality, he would definitely resort to defeating his opponent in a cruel way. All the warriors who met him normally ended up with serious injuries.

However… He definitely stepped on him because of Wang Teng.

“Don’t worry. I will avenge you. He stepped on you once, I’ll step on him ten times, not one less. I promise,” Wang Teng said.

Song Yicheng was stunned. Then he smiled.

He knew how strong his comrade was, so dealing with their rival was doable.

Others were probably unaware of his strength, but the people from the military knew.

Wang Teng was a formidable warrior who had won many big wars!

“I can leave the competition in peace. This Strachey is vicious.” Song Yicheng fainted the moment he finished speaking. He had been holding on all that time.

Strachey won’t enter the Seven Stellar Academies; he will end up in a worse state than you. Wang Teng thought. His gaze was merciless.

That was his original plan, and now, he made a promise to Song Yicheng. He had caused his injuries due to association, so he would take revenge on his behalf.

Three more days passed. The top 275 were chosen.

Most of the top ten candidates from the ten forbidden zones were capable of advancing. Only a few were kicked to the revival round because they were matched against powerful opponents.

In the fight between Hong Jinghou and Lu Jing: one advanced, while the other ended up losing with injuries.

The one who advanced was Lu Jing. Wang Teng was surprised.

Hong Jinghou met a powerful opponent, so he was defeated and could only participate in the revival round.

This time, there were five days of rest.

The following battles were intense this time, so many candidates were injured. They needed time to recuperate, so the five days were used for healing purposes.

However, people like Wang Teng were bored; they didn’t even drop a single hair, so there was no need for them to recuperate.

Fortunately, those five days passed in a flash and the revival round started. Five people were chosen out of the 275 defeated from the previous round.

The battles were even more heated since all those candidates were powerful. Also, the slots available decreased greatly.

Similarly, it was a battle royale setting. The five warriors who defeated the most opponents would get to advance.

Wang Teng became excited. It’s finally starting!

The 275 martial warriors entered the arena and started hunting.

“Huh?” Ji Haochen exclaimed, “That fatty’s recovered.”

He sounded confused and puzzled, as if witnessing a strange occurrence.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw the cowardly fatty.

Wang Teng was startled. Wade was attacked by Gaunt’s poison Force, but he was alive and kicking at the moment. This was interesting.
