Chapter 777 - The Expected Result - Part 3
"Only a lunatic can tame another lunatic." Herman Bonivido, the Guild Leader of the First Order muttered in a low voice after hearing Tang Shaoyang\'s declaration.
"What are you talking about, Sir?" First Order\'s Vice Leader, Frans asked Herman.
"I am talking about that Tang Shaoyang. He basically warns all of us not to get in his way, or we will become his enemy." Herman shook his head. "He basically antagonizes all factions on Earth. I think I understand why that dangerous assassin is tamed by that kind of man. He is lunatic, crazier than the assassin."
"If you know what kind of man he is. I don\'t think it\'s appropriate to say it aloud, Sir." Frans reminded his guild leader. "While we are not afraid of the Tang Empire, our hands are full with the Blue Vest that keeps harassing us."
"Are you really not afraid of that man?" Herman secretly glanced at Tang Shaoyang, who had returned to his seat. "Can you see his movement just now? I am not sure if it\'s a skill or it\'s just his pure speed."
Frans fell silent for a moment and recalled the fight. He then shook his head. "I can\'t see his movement, but I believe it should be a skill. It must be a skill, similar to your movement skill, but faster."
Herman let out a chuckle and shook his head. "Let\'s say it\'s a skill. Can you counter it? How do you fight him if we can\'t see his movement? In the end, it does not matter if it\'s a skill or not. We just make sure not to get in their way instead. No, let\'s not get related to them anyway. They are dangerous whether as an ally or as an enemy."
For sure, the Tang Empire attracted more troubles by the declaration. If they were related to the Tang Empire, they would get involved in the problem. The other factions would regard them as enemies if the First Order Guild befriended the Tang Empire. And, they did not want to antagonize a faction with powerful individuals like the Tang Empire either. So, it was better to keep their distance from the Tang Empire, not too close, and not to be their enemy either.
"I agree with that." After a momentary silence, Frans replied in a small voice. "That\'s why you should not say something like that about their Emperor, or we will be troubled, Sir."
The first round of the first match between the Tang Empire and the New Nation ended with surprise and a little bit of drama between The World Union and the Tang Empire. Regardless of the implication, the first round of the fight surprised everyone in the arena. Everyone hoped to see the actual performance from the leader of the Major Faction as the Tang Empire, but the battle ended in a flash. It ended up with disappointment as they could not watch a proper fight. After the first round, the second round started immediately after Tang Shaoyang, and Alun Gaynor left the arena.
[Second Round of the first match, Pride Vs. Wil Popkin!]
When the four meters Demonic Ape entered the arena, The World Union turned off their barrier and protested to the referee.
"This is not fair! How can you allow a beastmen to fight in the Earth Tournament! This is a violation of the rule!" Hines Myers shouted to the point his voice filled the whole arena. Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang crossed his legs, swaying his leg lightly as he watched the show. He was amused that the guy had the thought of complaining at this moment.
If the beastmen was not allowed in the tournament, the System would not let the Tang Empire register Pride, Kairu, and Wen in the fighting list. The fact that the System allowed it, meaning the Tang Empire violated no rules. Sure enough, the System popped out a big red screen above the arena for everyone to see.
[Please read the rulebook carefully. The fighting tournament is not exclusive to humans. As long as the individual belongs to a faction based on Earth, the other races can join the Fighting Tournament as long as that individual is registered as a member of the faction! The System makes the rules, not the players! Further disturbance from the audience, the disturber will be penalized for speaking as the First Warning. The System will expel the faction from the arena for the Second Warning, and you will get disqualified from the tournament for the Third Warning!]
Hines Myers returned to his seat upon reading the warning. He was seething in rage as he felt that the System was being partial to the Tang Empire.
Wil Popkin hoped that the System would cancel the fight and let the Tang Empire choose a new fighter to fight him instead. From the size, the Demonic Ape was domineering, and he did not have the confidence to fight this beast. Of course, he had fought a zombie of a similar size, but the zombie was not an intelligent creature while the one in front of him possessed intelligence.
The referee asked his readiness, and he nodded in response. Then the faceless referee asked the Demonic Ape\'s readiness, and the latter responded with a nod as well. Wil Popkin\'s heartbeat raced up as the battle was about to start. By the time the referee said "Fight!" his opponent had jumped into the air.
Wil Popkin saw that and looked up. By the time he looked to the air, the Demonic Ape was just a few meters above him. \'Don\'t tell me what I just saw is the afterimage?\' By this realization, Wil Popkin raised his two hands. "I give up!". After saying that, Wil Popkin threw his shield and sword to the ground.
After the surrender declaration, a blue barrier formed around Wil Popkin. Pride slammed his giant arms into that barrier, creating a loud "Booming." blast to the whole arena. Wil Popkin then saw the barrier cracked under the beastmen\'s arm.
Badump! Badump! Badump! Badump!
\'If the System does not create the barrier, then I will die for sure.\' That was what crossed in Wil Popkin\'s head at the sight of the cracked barrier.
Ptui!
Pride spat on the cracked barrier and said.. "Coward!" before turning around, leaving the arena, back to the Tang Empire\'s booth.
