nInstantly, a white light flashed.

nMike once again returned to the VIP seats. He sat down next to the king and casually ate the grapes on his plate.

nThe audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers.

nEveryone was impressed by the strength that Mike had displayed.

nPowerful, too powerful!

nThe king looked at Mike in surprise.

nAs someone who could be the king, he had to have good control over his emotions.

nHowever, this time, he really could not conceal his emotions.

nGod Slayer could casually use such a powerful attack?

nEven David was injured...

nNo, not injured!

nHe was only affected by the aftershock of the attack.

nHe actually fell to the ground and could not get up.

nHowever, the king was not worried about David's safety.

nAs the commander of the Royal Guards, the king had naturally given him some benefits.

nFor example, David's armor was given by the king.

nIt was an armor that could block magic attacks.

nHowever, David who was lying on the ground was naked.

nBecause the armor had completely shattered.

nIt was only the aftermath of an attack, but it actually shattered the armor that was worth thousands of gold coins.

nOne could imagine how powerful the attack was.

nAt this time, David had already been carried away by the medical staff for treatment.

nThe referee was changed to the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Lucious.

nThe competition continued.

n..

nIn the VIP seats.

nthe king took a deep breath to calm himself and said,

n

"God Slayer, you are indeed very strong.

n

"If you are willing, I can give you a good position. What do you think?

"

nSure enough.

nJust as Mike had thought.

nThere must be a reason for this martial arts competition. It could not just be for the residents of the City of Light to enjoy themselves.

nIt seemed that the king wanted to recruit some strong people for his use.

nAs for why he suddenly wanted to recruit strong people...

nThere must be a reason. It was just that this reason had not come to light.

nMike did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked,

n

"What position and what benefits?

"

nIf it was any other player, saying such words would have angered the king.

nIt might even lower their friendliness with the king.

nHowever, Mike did not have to worry about this.

nHe had already reached the friendliness of respect among the humans.

nIf one had to give an example.

nIn the eyes of normal human NPCs, their friendliness toward the king was only respect.

nOnly God could achieve fanatical faith friendliness from the human NPCs.

nOf course, if players had the opportunity, they could also reach fanatical faith.

nHowever, the friendliness toward the king was limited to respect.

nHence, in the eyes of the king, Mike was on equal footing with him.

nMoreover, the king himself was extremely respectful of Mike.

nIt was just that due to his status as the king, he needed to put on an act.

nPreviously, the king was very curious about what this adventurer had done to obtain such a high bounty.

nNo, or rather...

nHow strong he was to be able to obtain such a high bounty.

nThat was a total of 200,000 gold coins!

nNow he finally understood.

nIt was not that God Slayer's strength was worth 200,000 gold coins.

nIt was that he had only committed a sin worth 200,000 gold coins.

nIf he wanted to, two million... No, perhaps even 20 million gold coins were achievable.

nTerrifying.

nThis was the king's evaluation of God Slayer.

n..

nFacing Mike's question, the king thought for a moment and replied,

n

"The exact official position given to you will depend on your performance in this martial arts competition.

"

nHearing this answer, Mike frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.

nBecause he had already decided that he only wanted to get second place and get the reward of the skill book.

nHe had no intention of obtaining the first place reward, which was a weapon.

nHowever, the attitude of the king now conflicted with his plan.

nIf he did not win the championship, it seemed that he would not get the best position.

nIn consequence, Mike had to make a decision.

nAfter thinking for a while, Mike decided to wait until the time came.

nAnyway, he couldn't come up with an answer now.

nSoon, the first round of the match was over.

nHalf of the 216 players were eliminated in less than an hour.

nAfter all, not every match took a minute.

nIn this kind of competition, most of the matches ended quickly.

nAfter all, the two contestants would want to reduce each other's HP as fast as possible.

nAfter a short five-minute break, the second round of the match began.

nIt was still a one-on-one match, and the time limit was still one minute.

nAfter all, there were still 108 people left. It would take a total of 54 minutes if all players played a full minute.

nAlthough most of them would not last for a full minute, in order to prevent the match from lasting too long and reduce the viewing quality, the time limit was still necessary.

nAfter ten minutes, it was Mike's turn to play again.

nThe moment Mike appeared.

nThe audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers once again.

nThey really wanted to see Mike's wonderful performance again.

nHowever, two people trembled when they saw Mike's appearance.

nOne of them was naturally Mike's opponent in this round.

nMeeting Mike was no different from declaring defeat.

nThe other one was the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Lucious.

nWhen Lucious saw Mike, he immediately thought of what had happened to David.

nHis armor was not as good as David's.

nIf he was the one who took that blow, he would have lost his life.

nThinking of this, he immediately took a few steps back and came to the edge of the arena.

nTo ensure that he could retreat out of the arena at the first possible moment so that he could at least keep his life.

nHowever, just as Lucious's body tensed up and was ready to jump out of the arena right after he said

"Let the match begin

".

nMike's opponent raised his hand and took the initiative to shout,

n

"I forfeit!

"

nThis situation came too suddenly, and everyone was stunned.

nFollowing which, there were loud boos and curses.

n

"F*ck, you loser!

"

n

"You adventurers won't really die, why don't you fight!

"

n

"Trash, trash, loser!

"

nFacing such curses, that player trembled, but he tried his best to endure it.

nLogically speaking, even if he met a strong opponent, there was no reason for him to forfeit.

nAfter all, he could resurrect after he died, and dying in the arena would not deduct EXP.

nHowever, this was only under normal circumstances.

nCoincidentally, the person who fought Mike was a friend of his.

nMoreover, his friend had just told him an incomprehensible situation.

nAfter being killed by Mike, he actually decreased by one level!

n
