nWith that popped up notification, various kinds of equipment were displayed in front of his eyes: Swords, Blades, Maces, Axes, Spears, Gauntlets, and there was even a Gun with a magazine of magical bullets.

nThere were other forms of equipment as well, like the armors, but Randy did not have the time to look at them all.

nWithout wasting too much time, he quickly selected his equipment.

nHe had obviously chosen a gauntlet since he only knows a profound fist technique but not any of the techniques that required any of the other weapons.

nRandy did not select any armor since those type of equipment requires one to spend some exorbitant amount of money to acquire them.

nRandy did not have the kind of money that amount to 1,000,000 Alliance Credits, this was the price of the cheapest armor on here.

nHe only had a few hundred alliance credits before, but he had already used them to buy some low grade potions when he visited the academy's training center.

nAs for the weapons on the same level as the type of gauntlets that he had chosen, they were given for free since they were quite cheap to afford even if one were to lose or break them.

nThe first time selecting an equipment, everyone will be given a free gift, however if one loses or breaks them in a middle of combat, then they can choose to buy the same equipment again with their own money as it will not be given for free on the second selection.

nAnd of course, there were some equipment which you have to pay handsomely to acquire but Randy settled with this free equipment for now.

nNonetheless, it was better to not rely too much on one's equipment as it hinders one's growth so, that was mostly the reason why even the virtual equipment cost so much money, but the rich brats do not mind these prices at all, as they actually had enough money to afford these expensive weapons and armors.

nAt this moment, Randy had on a training clothes that he normally wears to train in the training room. Which was only a red martial arts robe and pants.

nHe picked these amongst the clothes provided for free in the virtual.

nAfter selecting his equipment, a new notification popped up…

n

n

n

nAfter stating so, a portal-like rift appeared where Randy was standing and then sucked him in before he could even react.

nBefore he realized it, he was standing on a platform in a form of a square shape that spans a few cubic meters in size.

nHe had already being transported in the selected Combat Arena.

nAnd the strange part was that this arena was floating in space, however there seemed to be something akin to barriers erected around the arena so there was no way one could fall outside the arena from being thrown outward in heat of the moment during the combat.

nRandy once heard that, one can even pick the combat arena that they would like to have their duel in, however since he selected the random opponent option, he lost that privilege and only the opponent would have that privilege to pick the combat arena that they were comfortable in.

nUsually, when the combat arenas picked from both parties were different, the virtual system would randomly select one of the combat arenas before transporting the players into the chosen combat arena.

nAfter arriving at this place, Randy proceeded to wait as suggested by the virtual system.

nAnd very soon, a figure suddenly appeared in the virtual arena with a flash of light, adorning all kinds of equipment on their body.

nWhen the other party saw Randy's equipment, they immediately gave him a look of disdain and then spoke in a mocking tone.

n

"Tsk, and here I was wondering who it was… it turns out to be a newbie like I had thought. I was wondering why the virtual system even bothered to send a challenge to me with some unknown player's name. And what is with your selected name? 'Blood Venerable Fist God'? I thought it was some professional player with that character name and I even rushed here.

"

nThe selected player complained in annoyance immediately upon his arrival.

nIndeed, this was Randy's character's name. Before he only whimsically typed in 'Fist Saint' since he could not be bothered to think too much about the name.

nHowever, before coming here, he specifically changed it to the current name since most of his ability had to do with blood and he had a fist profound technique, and with that train of thought, Blood and Fist combined together and then he added the awe-inspiring, the respectable god of fist.

nAnd thus we have the character name: 'Blood Venerable Fist God'.

nHearing the other party's complaints, Randy did not feel dejected or anything and only curtly replied:

"Well, nice to meet you too.

"

n

"Tsk!

"

nThe other party did not even bother to look at him.

n

"I get that you are annoyed but hey, since you are already here, do you want to fight or not?

" Randy said to the other party who clearly did not want to be here.

n

"Tsk! You're only a newbie and you think you can defeat me, a professional player? Fine, don't cry to me when you lose. I personally don't like beating newbie since they're mostly weaklings who had no experience in this virtual world.

" The other party begrudgingly said.

n

"Alright, you don't have to worry about that since I won't be crying or anything?

" Randy replied with a smile.

nAs soon as the challenge was acknowledged, the virtual system notification popped up, followed by an AI voice resounding.

nPft—

nAt this point, Randy could not hold back his laughter when he heard the other party's name. He had thought that the other party had some cool character name since they were criticizing his character name, but it turns out it was this, 'Baby Sword Master'.

n

"Hahahaha!

"

nThe other party frowned in displeasure when he saw Randy laughing while holding his stomach, and then coldly asked:

"What is so funny? Why are you laughing like a mad man all of a sudden?

"
