Chapter 301: the witch arrives
Ichikawa ichirou has a decent appearance, with a fair and clean face.
However, his body is somewhat thin and weak, making him look slightly effeminate.
At this moment, his face is full of confidence, and his smile is filled with unparalleled certainty of victory.
The battle hasn't started yet, but he already seems to regard victory as his own.
Because of this.
The audience from fusang kingdom erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers and support.
At this moment.
Ling zhan finally stepped onto the vast and wide floating arena under everyone's gaze.
"is this guy the legendary non-specialist? He looks even more handsome in person than in the photos!"
"what's the use of being handsome? You need to be able to fight!"
"i heard that this ichikawa ichirou has also joined the demon extermination team and participated in a battle to kill an 80-level ghost king!"
"what? Does that mean this guy is even more impressive than the non-specialist?"
"indeed, he's more impressive!"
"..."
Many spectators, after witnessing the non-specialist's appearance, began to compare him with ichikawa ichirou.
Due to the official commentary's oversight, they focused on the non-specialist's achievements from the day before yesterday.
But it seemed they ignored the fact that the non-specialist is level 58.
This led many people to subconsciously ignore ling zhan's level as well.
Furthermore, due to the presence of the floating arena's defensive shield, people couldn't identify the non-specialist's level through the shield.
Ultimately, after comparisons, they found him not as formidable as ichikawa ichirou.
After all, ichikawa ichirou had participated in the ghost king subjugation battle.
Even just participating proves his abilities!
If the demon extermination team hadn't recognized ichikawa ichirou's strength, they definitely wouldn't have let such a young guy participate.
The other contestants from various countries were also slightly surprised to see ling zhan go on stage alone.
"what an arrogant guy, not even bringing a beast!"
"maybe he thinks he can handle ichikawa ichirou by himself!"
"that's ridiculous! Does he really think ichikawa ichirou is as weak as charles?"
"..."
In the most luxurious viewing seat of the arena.
Princess saint luni, dressed in a white dress and with white hair, sat elegantly, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, seemingly uninterested in the non-specialist's battle.
Beside her was not her father.
But her second uncle, prince saint luss, the current emperor's brother.
Next to them were the top officials from various countries and the deans of prestigious schools.
Among them was prince rowe, a level 100 four-tier martial god.
At this moment, many top officials and deans were focusing on the non-specialist's figure, which exuded no pressure and seemed extremely reserved.
Even prince saint luss was watching the non-specialist with interest.
"hmm... He looks quite ordinary. It's hard to imagine this person broke saint luni's best record."
"your highness, who do you think has a better chance between these two contestants?"
A noble baron beside him asked with a flattering smile.
"i think the contestant from fusang kingdom has the upper hand." prince saint luss guessed.
"i think so too." the noble baron echoed with a smile.
"i also agree with prince saint luss's guess."
"yes."
"..."
Many ministers and nobles timely expressed their agreement.
Even the top officials and deans from other countries agreed with prince saint luss's guess.
But at this moment...
Buzz!!
Suddenly!
An immense magical wave appeared in the entire arena!
The magical elements in the entire arena suddenly boiled, causing the protective array of the arena to activate instantly!
Even the match referee had to stop the countdown.
The imperial army outside the arena also collectively stirred.
"what? What's happening!?"
"such a terrifying magical wave! Is a level 100 archmage descending here?"
"could it be an enemy attack!?"
"impossible! The top-tier viewing seats are occupied by deans from prestigious schools, all of whom are level 100 four-tier powerhouses! Who would be foolish enough to launch an attack now?"
"then who could it be..."
"..."
As it turned out.
The soldiers' guesses were correct.
No enemy would be so foolish as to attack the arena at this time.
The visitor was none other than cathy, one of the world's top four archmages, known as the corrupt witch!
At this moment.
Wearing a black, wide, wizard robe, cathy appeared out of thin air in the top-tier viewing seats, seemingly ignoring space.
The protective array of the entire arena finally calmed down.
The contestants, referees, and spectators below only sensed the defensive array's vibration.
But they couldn't detect the arrival of the corrupt witch.
Only ling zhan slowly looked up, glancing at the position of the vip seats.
But soon, he continued to look calmly at the confident and arrogant ichikawa ichirou.
In front of the vips, cathy had a delicate face, wore large black-framed glasses, and had messy hair under her wizard hat.
She could be a beautiful and elegant witch.
But she deliberately made herself look unkempt, giving her a gloomy, melancholic, and sickly appearance, like a landmine girl.
However...
Everyone in the vip seats was shocked.
Princess saint luni, who had been sitting with her eyes closed, quickly opened them and stood up.
"teacher!! Why are you here?"
It was known that in previous global beast contests, this corrupt witch had never attended.
Even when invited by several officials to serve as a judge or vip for the finals, she directly refused.
But now, she appeared here...
"don't call me teacher, i haven't agreed yet."
However.
Facing the crown princess, whom everyone respected, cathy responded coldly.
Saint luni, despite being embarrassed, didn't get angry and instead maintained her gentle smile.
"please, take my seat. The view here is excellent."
Cathy didn't stand on ceremony and sat down ungracefully.
The head maid frowned, about to say something.
But saint luni stopped her with a warning look.
Prince saint luss was very welcoming to the corrupt witch's attendance.
The holy light empire had always made every effort to recruit this top archmage of the eden guild.
At this moment.
The interrupted match finally restarted!
The ten-second countdown began to appear on the giant screen.
10!
9!
8!
...
3!
2!
1!
Ding ding!!
The match finally began!
