Abnormal Moon

Sylvia shook her head. She wasn't very familiar with Anast and didn't know what he was thinking, or if he was enjoying it. But she was certain that he would never normally care so much about sparring with someone, to the point of making a special trip to greet them.

Roy seemed to be deep in thought.

He finished his lunch in no time.

"I'm leaving now, what will you do?"

"I'll go with you. This arena at the top looks like it'll be really interesting."

Sylvia rose from her chair, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Should I try it out too?

Chapter 277 The Summit Arena

afternoon.

The central district of Rokka, Sirius Dome.

The Sirius Dome, where the Star Martial Arts Festival was held half a year ago, was once again packed to capacity, with tickets in short supply.

"Alright, everyone gathered here! Have you all enjoyed the annual school festival to the fullest? Whether you've had your fill or you're still craving more, one thing is for sure: going home without seeing this performance would be a huge loss for you! Sorry to keep you waiting! The Top Arena is now open!"

In the huge venue, Ye Chui's voice came from broadcasts in all directions; he was the host for this event.

As the sound of night winds rang out, a storm of cheers erupted from inside the giant egg.

Looking around, the audience seats, which could hold 100,000 people, were now packed to capacity, a scene no less spectacular than the Star Martial Festival six months ago.

"Alright, then please welcome all the contestants to the arena!"

At that moment, the entire audience erupted in chaos, screams echoing throughout the arena like a swarm of locusts. Almost everyone's face turned red as they shouted their hearts out toward the center of the stage.

"Miss Sylvia! It's the living Miss Sylvia!"

"I haven't seen a songstress on TV for six months! I miss her so much!"

As Roy stepped onto the stage in the center of the venue, he heard a deafening roar of cheers from all around him.

For a moment, not only Roy, but also the more than thirty contestants next to him were stunned.

"Such terrifying popularity!"

Roy looked around and saw that almost every seat in the audience was chanting Sylvia's name.

People calling his name could hardly hear him anymore.

After all, there are champions every year at the Star Martial Arts Festival, but there is only one Sylvia.

"Hehe, are you envious? Why don't you try debuting too? I'll mentor you!"

Sylvia stood beside him, and the two walked up the aisle together. She was waving to the audience and jokingly made a suggestion to Roy.

As a result, she easily passed the approval process, even though the registration deadline had long passed. Ye Chui was so surprised that she burst into tears and let her in with a wave of her hand.

"no!"

Roy shook his head repeatedly.

He would rather let Ms. Okita debut than debut himself!

He's not someone who likes being in the spotlight, and he doesn't enjoy being the center of attention. Besides, he's going to be a king someday. What will people say when his debut story is dug up? Will they say it's a dark history of his youth and ignorance?

As for Ms. Okita, so what if she embarrasses herself? It has nothing to do with him. Anyway, she's a comedian, so she might be very good at debuting as an idol.

"Now we can finally explain to everyone what kind of event the Summit Arena is!"

The sound of night winds rang out again, and the screams that had erupted in the stadium due to Sylvia's presence gradually subsided.

Upon hearing the voice, Roy turned his head and focused his attention on the rules of the event.

"First of all, this Top Arena is a participatory arena simulation battle, consisting of two stages. Only players who pass the first stage can advance to the second stage. If they fail to meet the requirements, they will be eliminated on the spot!"

"It's not a direct martial arts competition?"

Upon hearing this, Roy frowned, losing interest somewhat.

The specific rules of the event had been kept secret for a long time. Roy thought it was going to be a competition and came over with great enthusiasm, but it turned out to be a race between boys and girls.

What else does this mean?

"Isn't this great?"

At that moment, Yánest's voice came from the side.

"Personally, I also feel a little regretful that it's not a martial arts competition. However, with so many contestants here, it would be too much to ask them to compete against each other in every match. It's fairer for everyone to go through each round one by one."

after all.

If it were to become a martial arts competition, then one of Roy, Anastasia, or Sylvia would definitely win.

Arist also looked disappointed. He had been looking forward to a one-on-one match with Roy, as it was a rare opportunity where he wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the White Filter Demon Sword. However, he felt that the challenge format was more suitable for this kind of small event than a martial arts competition, and it would also be more beneficial to the other contestants.

Since things had come to this, Roy had nothing more to say.

However, Fan Xinglu did not appear at all.

Roy looked around and spotted a few familiar faces. Standing in the other corner was Zhao Hufeng from Jielong, who was looking over with shining eyes, seemingly wanting to come over but looking hesitant. The dark red-clad girl on the other side was Reiwof's vampire princess, Irene... Most of the participants were top students from various academies.

He was asked to participate in this event, but he himself didn't show up at all. What was Fan Xinglu thinking?

Could she be preparing a surprise?

"Furthermore, this is not a free-for-all at the Summit Arena. Fighting between contestants is prohibited. Any contestant who does so will be immediately disqualified. Also, for the sake of fairness, all contestants will use standard Hoshiguma weapons provided by the event organizers. Of course, witches and magicians are not allowed to use their special abilities!"

Roy twirled the white device in his hand. It was a regular sword-shaped weapon given to him by the staff before he went on stage. So that's what it was for. It seems that this event is designed to let the contestants decide the winner entirely based on their physical strength and skills.

"Without further ado, let's begin the first phase!"

As they spoke, beams of red light poured down from the ceiling and landed in the center of the stage. These were sword-shaped Huang-style weapons with gleaming blades and gun-shaped Huang-style weapons with dark muzzles, each accounting for half, totaling over a hundred pieces.

"Please destroy these devices within the ten-minute time limit. Since there are only ten devices, only a maximum of ten people can pass the first stage. Failure to pass within the time limit will also be considered a defeat. Furthermore, being touched anywhere on the body will also be considered a defeat!"

Upon hearing this rule, all thirty-one contestants present turned pale with shock.

There are only 31 people in total, and at least two-thirds of them are going to be eliminated?

They are all experts from their respective academies, yet they are so disrespectful, preventing them from even passing the first stage.

"They're just a bunch of Radiant weapons; even if they're all put together, they're nothing but scrap metal!"

Some people made indignant, dissenting noises.

Roy, Anast, and Sylvia remained silent, quietly examining the Radiant Armor.

Those Radiant Armored weapons were completely uncontrolled, floating there in mid-air, and were visibly strange, as if someone was remotely controlling them.

Roy vaguely remembered that the weapon Euryth had recently acquired was of this type.

He didn't check its power, but he remembered the name, something like "Huang-style long-range guided weapon".

Wait a moment.

Is this really not a new product launch event?

"Ready? Phase One begins!"

In an instant, over a hundred pieces of Huang-style weaponry dispersed, like soldiers arrayed in battle formation, and under the control of an unseen giant hand, surrounded all the contestants present.

The moment the match began, Roy, Janist, and Sylvia rushed out simultaneously.

At the same time, countless light bullets poured in from all directions, 360 degrees without any blind spots. Simultaneously, sword-shaped weapons pierced through the gaps in the light bullets, and some even fell from above, aiming to leave no openings.

"Isn't this just a drone?"

Roy unleashed his spiritual power, easily finding a flaw in the attack, dodging the light bullets, and with a swift slash, he struck a gun-shaped weapon, shattering its core. He then turned and slashed at the second weapon.

"So this is long-range guided weaponry, how interesting!"

Roy danced on the edge of a knife, constantly dodging attacks from remotely guided weapons by the slightest margin. Even attacks from behind were dodged as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and he slashed them to pieces with a backhand strike.

After clearing away most of the barrage, Roy spotted an opening in the armed formation. A burst of stellar power erupted from beneath his feet, propelling him forward. With a sweeping slash, he shattered the branches connecting the floating armed forces.

Chapter 278 Oh no! My disguise has been exposed! (43)

"32 seconds! Unbelievable! Roy cleared the level in just 32 seconds!"

Roy looked back and realized he was all alone; it seemed Roy had won again.

"Impressive. It seems the evaluation in the poem about honey wine is indeed reasonable."

One minute later, Yonex severed the branch of his weapon with a single sword stroke, becoming the second person to pass the test. He stood before Roy with a smile of complete admiration.

"I didn't expect you to be almost twice as fast as me!"

"My skills are better suited for chaotic battles."

Roy disagreed. He believed that Anast simply didn't know how to recognize. If he did, he believed that it would take him no longer to pass the test. In one-on-one battles, especially swordsman battles, the effect of recognition was very limited. One had to learn the three subsequent realms to gain an advantage.

Moreover, it's hard to say that other schools of thought don't have similar, unbelievable techniques.
