Chapter 31 Blood Road

Half an hour passed.

Qiao Yu casually ate something to replenish his strength, then squatted in the corner with Yang Xiangdi, spacing out.

Compared to the others who had already begun to strategize and study their opponents' behaviors, the two of them seemed very dull.

"Brother Yu, do we really not need to study the other eight people?" Yang Xiangdi asked.

"It's useless. Studying or not, it's the same. No strategy will work," Qiao Yu shook his head.

"Under such cruel rules, the only way to get first place is to fight a bloody path."

"A bloody path?"

Yang Xiangdi was stunned for a moment, then he immediately thought of the scene in the Mechanical Kingdom.

"Brother Yu, is it your blood or someone else's blood that will flow?"

Qiao Yu: "..."

If he had the chance, he would sew Yang Xiangdi's mouth shut.

"Are you Qiao Yu?"

Qiao Yu looked up and saw a boy with a indifferent expression looking down at him. It was Gu Su.

"No, I'm Ma Fei."

Gu Su: "...That joke isn't funny at all."

"Alright, what kind of pretense are you trying to put on?" Qiao Yu shrugged helplessly.

"You have two crimes. First, you insulted the profession of necromancer. Second, you hit Shi Shaorong. I will get you back for these two crimes in the arena."

"I hope you don't hide under the stage like a coward and become a challenger."

Gu Su glared at Qiao Yu coldly.

According to the rules, challengers cannot fight each other.

"Huh? What do you mean I insulted the profession of necromancer?" Qiao Yu asked.

"Hmph! You don't deserve this profession at all! Compared to him, you're far behind!" Gu Su's face showed undisguised disgust.

The 'him' that Gu Su was talking about was also a necromancer? Qiao Yu was a little surprised. He had never seen anyone with the same profession as him before.

After all, hidden professions were indeed too rare.

"Then the second thing, are you trying to stick up for that woman?"

"Shi Shaorong's matter is my Gu Su's matter."

Gu Su was about to say something when he was interrupted by a clear, cold voice.

"Gu Su, thank you for your good intentions, but I don't need you to interfere in my affairs. I will get my revenge myself."

Shi Shaorong's injuries had already healed, and she had changed into a clean set of clothes from the dirty ones that Qiao Yu had dirtied.

"Rongrong, don't misunderstand, I just want to teach this ignorant kid a lesson for you."

"Student Gu Su, please have some self-respect. Also, my name isn't Rongrong, it's Shi Shaorong."

Shi Shaorong's expression was cold, not giving Gu Su any face at all.

This made Gu Su's expression extremely ugly.

Qiao Yu suddenly understood why Gu Su had provoked him at first sight. This guy was an old simp, and the type that couldn't get the girl.

"Xiangdi, what animal do you think this Gu Su belongs to?" Qiao Yu nudged Yang Xiangdi and asked.

Yang Xiangdi immediately understood what he meant.

"I guess he's a Boiled Goat, or maybe a two-faced turtle."

"What? Are Tom Cat and Black Tiger not famous enough in the simp world?"

"It's not that, Brother Yu, look."

Yang Xiangdi pointed at Gu Su.

"He's wearing all white, but his head is green. Tom and Black Tiger don't match his colors!"

Qiao Yu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yang Xiangdi's mouth was really venomous.

Gu Su could no longer maintain his indifferent appearance, his face turning as red as a pig's liver.

Shi Shaorong's coldness had already embarrassed him, and the mockery from Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi added fuel to the fire, making him fly into a rage.

He didn't vent his anger on Shi Shaorong, but glared angrily at Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi.

"Qiao Yu, and you, you defeated opponent! You two wait! This isn't over between us!" Gu Su turned and left.

"Wow! That's so scary. This simp is an aggressive simp," Yang Xiangdi patted his chest, feigning fear.

Gu Su paused, then quickly walked away.

Shi Shaorong took a deep look at Qiao Yu and also found a place to close her eyes and rest. If there was a chance in the arena, she would definitely repay Qiao Yu for the humiliation of being swung around.

The arena for the mage area hadn't even started yet, and it was already filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The rest time quietly passed, and the forty advanced examinees who had finished resting were gathered again.

Ma Fei and Zuo You were in the warrior and tank teams next to Qiao Yu.

On the other hand, Qiao Yu didn't see a single acquaintance in the assassin team.

Little did he know, his assassin acquaintances were staring at him not far away.

"9527, we were tricked by that kid! He's Qiao Yu! Not Ma Fei at all!" 7438 whispered into 9527's ear.

He and 9527 were now wearing white protective suits, completely covered from head to toe.

"Yeah, I can see that," 9527 seemed a little taciturn compared to the last time he was at Qiao Yu's house.

"He kept staring at us during the test just now. Do you think he might have discovered us?"

"Impossible, otherwise we would have been caught already."

"You're right! After all, if they knew that people from Bai Ze had infiltrated the examination hall, they would have been on high alert."

7438 nodded, a grim smile appearing on his face under his mask.

"The organization's mission is more important. Once the mission is over and we catch that kid, I'll make sure he tastes the consequences of deceiving me!"

"Achoo!"

Qiao Yu, who was in line, sneezed. He rubbed his nose in confusion.

"Strange, who's cursing me in broad daylight?"

Qiao Yu didn't think too much about it and continued to look ahead.

Jin Tong had reappeared in front of them.

The old man looked at the forty people in front of him with anticipation, like an old farmer looking at wheat during the autumn harvest.

"Time's up! Arena open! Examinees, enter!"

Jin Tong shouted these 12 words with a rough voice, and the entire venue immediately boiled along with Jin Tong's voice.

Countless people roared hysterically, and some of the advanced examinees even had more than a dozen family members come to cheer them on.

They knew that the moment to witness the birth of the Su City champion in each of the four departments had arrived.

Qiao Yu followed the team out, looking at the boiling sea of people in the stands, filled with cheering banners and flags.

Qiao Yu was expressionless.

Because he knew that his parents couldn't see his performance today.

At this time, the densely packed arenas in the venue had been completely cleared.

Replaced by four oversized arenas that had been enlarged several times.

The mage arena was located in the upper right corner, and the first person to step onto the arena would become the first defender.

"You all know the rules of the arena, so I won't waste any more words. Good luck!"

"I announce! The arena competition begins!"

Jin Tong's roar fell, but none of the examinees from the four departments dared to step onto the arena.

They still understood the principle of 'the first bird gets shot'. All forty of them had emerged from the thousands of examinees in Su City.

Who would be that much weaker than whom?

The first person to step onto the arena would undoubtedly bear the greatest pressure.

Jin Tong's brow also furrowed slightly, as this was not the result he wanted to see.

At this moment, a white-clothed figure carrying a long sword finally stepped onto the arena.

He had his back to the crowd, his white clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Since you're all afraid, then I, Ma, will be the first defender!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure drew the long sword on his back. The dazzling sword light was like a golden snake moving, and the patterns on the sword were like floating golden dragon scales.

"My sword yearns for a worthy opponent! Who will grant me defeat?"

The white-clothed man turned half his face slightly, asking in a very pretentious manner.

"Young man, don't be too arrogant!"

"If you're not arrogant, are you still a young man?"
