Conquer the game world

Chapter 49 Fighting
Ye Feng was well aware of Nader's thoughts. He observed the battle closely. Although the kobolds' fighting ability surprised him, it was only because they fought so hard and their skin seemed incredibly tough that they were gaining the upper hand. Ye Feng thought to himself, "If that samurai's weapon were of high quality, the kobolds would be no match for him."

"Oh, we can't believe our fifth-tier Spirit Realm warrior is being beaten so badly! What are we going to do? Are warriors just going to be defeated by kobolds like this?" The commentator was still trying to stir up the crowd. "Let's cheer for this brave warrior!"

Although many people were cheering for the samurai, he ultimately failed to turn the tide. After dodging and blocking countless attacks, he was finally knocked out of his hand by a kobold's attack.

Without his longsword, the warrior was even more vulnerable to the kobolds. If the kobolds had initially been somewhat wary of the warrior's longsword, which they believed would threaten them, they now brazenly engaged the warrior in hand-to-hand combat.

Even those with weapons are no match for them, let alone those without weapons. The situation is extremely unfavorable for the martial artists.

"The outcome is decided; the fight should stop," Ye Feng said from the side.

"Hehe, Ye Feng, don't you understand?" Nader replied with a smile, "This is a gladiatorial arena for life and death. The fighting will not stop until a winner is decided."

"What? That martial artist is clearly finished. He can't beat that kobold at all." Ye Feng was surprised to hear this answer. He hadn't expected that such a duel would be a fight to the death.

“Ye Feng, now you understand why I didn’t want you to participate in these gladiatorial contests. These contests only attract people to watch by using the gimmick of bloodshed.” Nader said helplessly, “Most of the people who participate in these gladiatorial contests are criminals who have committed capital crimes and are to be executed, or guys who are desperate for money and want to risk their lives. Once a death row inmate wins, he can get a pardon, but even so, very few people have been granted pardons over the years.”

"How about it, cancel your gladiatorial combat?"

"No, although it's a bit unexpected, the gladiatorial combat will continue."

At this moment, the situation changed. The warriors that Ye Feng thought had no chance suddenly burst out with amazing combat power and began to launch a fierce attack on the kobolds.

"Oh, well done, that's it, take down that dog-headed guy." The martial artist's counterattack ignited the previously somewhat dull stands with enthusiasm, as if everyone wanted to see a thrilling gladiatorial match rather than a one-sided affair.

Ye Feng was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the martial artist could unleash such powerful combat strength. It seemed that he had used some secret technique with side effects, otherwise he wouldn't have refrained from using it at the beginning and only used it now.

After using his secret technique, the warrior gave the kobold no further chances. After several frenzied attacks, he finally killed the kobold, who had initially appeared very powerful, with a single blow.

"Wow, well done! That's how it should be done!" The audience's enthusiasm was reignited by this kill, erupting in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Well done, that was a wonderful gladiatorial match. Let's give a round of applause to the winner." After the match ended, someone disposed of the kobold's corpse, and the warriors left the arena. The announcer then said again, "Alright, let's look forward to the next match, which will be just as exciting... The next match will be..."

Ye Feng watched the upcoming fight alone from the sidelines, while Nader, having failed to persuade him, also had other things to attend to and did not disturb Ye Feng further, allowing Ye Feng to focus on preparing for the next duel.

Perhaps influenced by the first gladiatorial match, the subsequent gladiatorial matches, while still featuring some familiar scenes, were much less exciting than the first one, and the audience's enthusiasm was not as high.

This is normal, of course, since gladiatorial combat isn't something you can see all the time. Besides, to boost the audience's enthusiasm, the two sides in the first gladiatorial combat were quite strong, and there weren't many particularly strong fighters in the subsequent combat.

The fight ended, and the people in the arena were cleaning up the battlefield. The one who died this time was a tragic martial artist. In fact, as Nader said at the beginning, most of the time, the ones who died in such fights were human martial artists.

"Alright viewers, folks," the host said at this moment, "Next is the last exciting moment of the day. This challenger will be challenging a powerful one-eyed beast, a one-eyed beast that is almost comparable to an agile martial artist."

"Wow, really? That one-eyed beast hasn't been challenged in ages."

"Looks like there's going to be a good show later." Upon hearing that it was a one-eyed beast, the audience perked up again.

"Finally, it's my turn." Ye Feng listened to the one-eyed beast's introduction from the sidelines. He had waited so long for his turn to appear, but he didn't expect to be the last one.

"This is the last, the grand finale gladiatorial match of the day, and this time's challenger—oh, perhaps you haven't heard of him, no, even I haven't heard of him—is the challenger who is only twenty years old. Let's welcome him." After the host finished introducing him, the iron gate where Ye Feng was located opened automatically, and Ye Feng walked into the arena.

"No way, such a young kid." The audience in the stands were also surprised by Ye Feng's youth when he appeared.

"Hmph, this kid is just here to die. Kid, are you tired of living?" Boos came from the crowd, clearly indicating that some spectators thought that Ye Feng, being so young, couldn't possibly have any strength.

"Not bad, kid, you've got guts. I support you. Let me see what you've got." While some looked down on him, others expressed their support for Ye Feng, and cheers and shouts of encouragement rang out continuously.

Just as Ye Feng appeared, Xu Bo, who was in the VIP section, stood up and stared intently at Ye Feng. "It's him. Hmph, I thought you were hiding somewhere."

"What's wrong, Xu Bo?" a middle-aged man next to him asked.

“Father, this is the guy I told you about from the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild. We absolutely can’t let him get away with this.” Xu Bo said to the man beside him. “Oh, this is the kid.” The middle-aged man looked at Ye Feng with interest. “Don’t worry about this. I’ll handle it.”

“But, Father, he embarrassed me in front of so many people, how can I tolerate that?” Xu Bo said with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, broaden your horizons. Do you think someone who dares to challenge a one-eyed beast is an ordinary person? Let's see how things go." The middle-aged man lectured Xu Bo. "If his strength is average, then of course we'll settle this score. But if this kid is too strong, it's best not to provoke him."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Xu Bo opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent. He knew in his heart that if Ye Feng displayed his formidable strength, his desire for revenge against Ye Feng would certainly not receive any support.

Ye Feng looked at the one-eyed beast in front of him. The one-eyed beast had a huge body, so it was obvious that it was not weak. And the only thing on its head was a huge eye, which made it look extremely terrifying.

"Alright, the gladiatorial combat will now begin." Ye Feng heard the announcer's voice announcing the start of the fight while observing the one-eyed beast.

At this moment, Ye Feng moved. He drew his longsword and charged directly at the one-eyed beast. When the one-eyed beast saw Ye Feng charging over, it did not back down and swung its weapon at Ye Feng from the spot.

Ye Feng could have easily dodged this attack, but he didn't. Instead, he took the initiative to meet it head-on, wanting to simply test his strength against the one-eyed beast.

"Damn, is this kid crazy? Instead of using the Cyclops's slow speed to outmaneuver him, he wants to fight head-on." In the eyes of the audience, Ye Feng's actions were suicidal. "Hey, I was cheering for this kid at the beginning. It seems I was overthinking it. This guy is a complete idiot. Where did the Bei family find such an idiot to fool us?"

Just as the Cyclops's attack landed, almost everyone was imagining Ye Feng being smashed to pieces. Xu Bo, on the stands, was also watching this scene with great interest, seemingly hoping that Ye Feng would be smashed to death.

"bang"

After a crisp sound, Ye Feng was not damaged. In fact, the one-eyed beast's attack did not even make Ye Feng take a step back. Ye Feng easily blocked it.

"Damn, that's a spiritual energy defense shield! No wonder this kid is so confident." Ye Feng used the Paladin's defensive shield skill to easily block the attack. In the eyes of the audience, this shield was a spiritual energy defense shield that only a high-level spiritual energy warrior could use.

"Dragon Fang Thrust." After blocking the Cyclops's attack, Ye Feng quickly launched an attack on the Cyclops.

"Roar!" Hit by this blow, the one-eyed beast was clearly seriously injured. As it screamed, it prepared to launch a second attack on Ye Feng.

"Sword Radiance." At this moment, the Cyclops's slow movement was fully exposed. Before the Cyclops's attack could arrive, Ye Feng's second attack was the preemptive strike.

"Hmm," the one-eyed beast, although its strength was equivalent to that of a Spiritual Warrior, was only at the ninth level of the Spiritual Light realm. In terms of realm, it was not at the same level as Ye Feng at all. After being hit by Ye Feng twice, it fell to the ground and died.

"This..." Normally, the host would give a passionate speech after the competition ended, but this time it ended so quickly that even the host was dumbfounded.

"No way, it's over so quickly?" The audience in the stands were clearly incredulous at the outcome.

"Wow, amazing." After a brief silence, the audience, having recovered, applauded Ye Feng.

Ignoring the applause and the dead one-eyed beast, Ye Feng turned and headed towards the exit. The duel ended, and the entrance Ye Feng had entered through reopened.

"It's best not to mess with this kid. Let's just forget about what happened before," the middle-aged man said to Xu Bo, observing Ye Feng's behavior.

"Damn it." Xu Bo gritted his teeth in anger, clearly unwilling to accept this outcome.

Inside another box in the stands.

"Miss, this man was brought by Nader, and his exact identity is unknown. However, I found out that he bet 10,000 purple gold coins on himself to win today," a subordinate of the Bei family reported to Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng, right? Interesting." The one who answered was a woman, whose voice alone suggested she was a beauty, and indeed she was. She was a woman who seemed to be around the same age as Ye Feng, with a beautiful face and elegant demeanor.

"Miss, should I bring some men to capture this person?" the subordinate said respectfully, bowing his head. This man was also a ninth-level Spirit Light martial artist, yet he dared not look up at the woman in front of him.

"No need, just call Nader over here," the woman replied calmly.
