Chapter 577: First Victory (2) Chapter 577: First Victory (2) As he spoke, he put his arm around Su Mo’s shoulder as if he was trying to win over supporters. He smiled and said,”
“In my opinion, no matter how strong he is, as long as Brother Starline and I join forces, there’s absolutely no reason for us to let him go.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Su Mo replied perfunctorily, but his gaze was still on the viewing area.

Netherworld was sitting beside the other two top-notch Commanders. His gaze was gloomy as he surveyed the scene, as if he was looking for something.

Su Mo naturally knew what the other party was looking for. Although he did not recognize the Mark of Hades, it was not impossible for him to see it after being hit.

If he is the main body, camouflage, or true, he cannot strip off the mysterious mark, or appear in the opponent’s line of sight, he will immediately be identified.

It was a pity that the power of the Spirit-storing Godly Lamp far exceeded the imagination of these great demons.

His disguise was completed by relying on the demon’s origin. Therefore, after being hit, the mark landed on the dog-headed demon’s origin.

For his own safety, Su Mo used the King Fire to burn the demon’s origin and the mysterious mark to ashes.

In this way, all future troubles were eliminated.

In the future, if he had to disguise himself and come into contact with Lulin, he could completely assume the identity of another great demon.

In any case, he had collected a lot of great demon essence on the battlefield.

Changing one’s identity every day could be used for decades. There was no need to worry about wastage at all.

Su Mo was calm and did not care about the search around him at all.

But deep down, he had his own doubts.

What he was confused about was the information he received last night.

The information provided was consistent with his usual guess.

However, according to the siege last night, it was obvious that the contact had been exposed long ago.

If he didn’t die, then it was very likely that he had colluded with Fallen Star Lake and betrayed his usual collaborator.

And if he died, it was obviously a trap set up by Fallen Star Lake last night.

No matter what kind of guess it was, the contact was basically cut off. If there was any news later, it would not be credible.

He could not make any more moves on Luling’s side until this storm was completely over.

Su Mo decided to temporarily put this matter to the back of his mind and prepare for today’s arena battle.

There were a total of 108 participants yesterday, a total of 54 matches.

Logically speaking, there should be 54 people participating in the battle today, but the actual number of people who could attend was even less.

Because some of the leaders of the small forces fought too fiercely on the first day of the arena battle, they were seriously injured and could not attend today’s competition at all.

As a result, only 40 people were selected, which meant 20 matches.

Presumably, by tomorrow, they would be able to determine the top ten candidates.

After that, the rankings of the top ten would be determined, and this arena competition would be considered to have completely ended.

“Clang!”

A clear sound suddenly spread throughout the entire scene.

It was still the referee from yesterday. He stood on the stage and said expressionlessly,
“I hereby announce the start of the second round of the arena battle.”

“The first match, Feiyue versus Qingxiao.”

When Su Mo heard this, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.

He had been busy all night and had no time to check the list of players.

He didn’t even know that Fei Yue was going to take part in the first round.

Fei Yue stood up and clenched his fists confidently,”
“Watch my first victory!”

As he spoke, he jumped up from the stands with a face full of fighting spirit and landed on the ring with a loud bang. His aura was high to the extreme, especially showing his warlike heart.

Everyone was waiting for his opponent to appear.

However, after a long while.

Only then did a burly figure stand up from the opposite grandstand. He raised his hand and said,
“I admit defeat.”

As soon as Qing Xiao finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

The referee frowned slightly and looked at Qing Xiao, asking in a deep voice,”
“Are you sure you want to admit defeat?”

“Yes!”

Qing Xiao nodded and said frankly,”
“After knowing that my opponent is Fei Yue, I was ready to admit defeat. This is not to say that I don’t value this competition, but after careful consideration. First of all, I admit that I’m not his match, and there’s a chance that I might lose in a fierce battle. Secondly, based on the first day’s battle, Fei Yue is extremely fond of fighting, and he might not be able to control his strength. If I’m not careful, he might kill my opponent. Moreover, the injuries I suffered on the first day of the arena have not recovered yet. Going up now was just asking for humiliation. It was better to just admit defeat.”

After hearing his reasoning, the referee was silent for a moment before he announced in a deep voice,
” First match, Fei Yue wins!”

Countless spectators looked at Fei Yue with complicated expressions.

They didn’t expect that the second round of the first round of the game would be so successful.

To be honest, what Qing Xiao said did make sense.

Knowing that they couldn’t win and might even be in danger, the more mature players wouldn’t go on stage.

Because the rewards of the division rankings were not tempting to them at all.

What was the difference between entering the 40th ranked army and the top 30?

This difference was not worth risking their lives.

Only some warmongers and hotheads would value honor and ranking more than their own lives.

Thinking of this, many great demons expressed their rationality to Qing Xiao.

A few commanders even had the thought of recruiting Qing Xiao.

Their army might not be lacking in combat strength, but they were lacking in people with brains like Qing Xiao.

The value of recruiting a smart monster was no less than recruiting a strong one.

Other than that, there were many participants who were envious of Fei Yue.

According to the information they had gathered, Qing Xiao, who was at the peak of Tier 8, was not considered weak.

If he went up and fought Fei Yue, even if he would lose in the end, it would definitely exhaust Fei Yue greatly, which would affect his performance tomorrow.

But now that Qing Xiao had admitted defeat, Fei Yue had been sent to the top 20.

In this way, he would be in full condition tomorrow. This was a rather painful thing for any competitor who might be his opponent tomorrow.

But they couldn’t do anything about it. After all, not everyone was as popular as Fei Yue.

Not everyone was like Qing Xiao, who was willing to give up the chance to get into the top 20.

No matter how envious they were, they could only watch helplessly as this happened to Fei Yue.

Among everyone present, the only one who felt dissatisfied was Fei Yue himself.

As a troublemaker and a warmonger, he was looking forward to a battle to his heart’s content. It was a competition that would stun everyone. But now, his opponent had f * cking surrendered. How was he supposed to perform? Somersaulting alone in the ring?

Fei Yue walked down from the stage with a solemn expression. When he returned to his seat, he collapsed. He did not look as happy as he had been after winning. Instead, he looked a little depressed.

Seeing this, Su Mo could not help but smile.

Although he also felt that Fei Yuezhen was f * cking lucky.

However, he was not worried that he would bump into Fei Yue in the arena.

Because there were fewer and fewer people behind, there was a high chance that they would bump into each other.

As long as it was not a powerhouse at the peak of the ninth step like Netherworld, he did not think that he would lose to anyone.

Even if many of them were seen as the favorites to win the championship.

But to Su Mo, it was meaningless to have that halo.

After the first match ended in a way that no one had expected, the battle was over.

The next few matches returned to normal, and the fight was very intense.

It had to be said that those who could enter the second round had some skills.

At the very least, it would be impossible for those who were famous in the first round to appear.

The contestants fought madly for the ranking, each using their trump cards. The battle was also extremely tragic.

Most of the winners were covered in wounds, and even the lightest of them had lost an arm.

Those with more serious injuries would obviously not be able to participate in tomorrow’s competition.

As for those who lost, their injuries were even more severe. One of the Level 9 Diremonsters even died on the spot.

None of the spectators had expected that a big demon would die on the scene not long after the second round of the competition began.

Moreover, the one who died was a tier 9.

Not to mention how much difficulty and hardship ordinary little gremlins had to go through to reach level 9.

Originally, this kind of famous strong person should die on the battlefield with a bang, drawing a satisfactory end to his life.

Instead of falling on the stage like this and becoming a stepping stone for the other participants.

This scene caused many competitors to fall silent.

At this moment, the referee on the stage said expressionlessly,”
“The eighth match, Su Mo versus Brutal Blade.”
