The crowd finally realized they had not misheard. What was this? He had actually challenged Carson, of all people. And for the number one position.Many thought he was foolish. He could have gone after someone like Sui Mo. He had already defeated her before, and she was ranked fifth, an ideal position. Or he could have picked any of the weaker contenders. But number one?Even if a weak person held the number one tag, challenging them was still meaningless. You would immediately become a target for others like Heng Mei and Dmitry.Amber watched with growing worry. She feared this was because of what she had said on the day Benjamin was injured, that she had let her emotions run wild without considering the consequences or how impossible it was.When she thought about it, Carson was a well-known genius among the younger generation of Merika. He was undoubtedly the strongest. Samuel, on the other hand, had been largely unknown until now. Even though he had been winning consistently, he h

He turned to meet a blushing Sui Mo. He felt embarrassed to tell her no, so he simply nodded.She quickly began filling his plate. Perhaps Amelia’s suggestion was working. She could feel Heng Mei’s tense body gradually relax.“Thank you,” he said with a genuine smile.*****Four days later, the competition was nearing its end. Over those days, many from the thirty had been eliminated, and only a few among the original thousand competitors remained.Now it was time for the final. Only twelve people were left. The final was a rank battle, the stage where actual rankings would be assigned. The top ten would be chosen and rewarded.After that, they would be sent to the treasure ground, which held the main benefits.These were the twelve remaining contestants: Heng Mei, Carson, Dmitry, Bruce, Sui Mo, Amber, Amelia, Susan, the lady who had covered herself with a veil, Kelvin, and the black-clad youth. Those two would have been the ultimate dark horses if Samuel did not exist. Among these un

Back at Heng Mei’s house, the boys were playing a game of cards while the girls were busy in the kitchen. Tianyi sat in front of the large television screen, watching quietly as the others played behind him.Samuel didn’t have anything planned for Tianyi and Cat for now, so they were mostly relaxed. Still, he intended to send them to Panya before heading to the treasure ground. Alternatively, he could keep them here and open a large supplement and drug store.Soon, Albert would finish building some of the company branches so they could be put to work immediately. Why was he bold enough to enter the drug industry without fearing that the government might hoard his secrets and sell him out?It was because he was no longer as ordinary as before. After winning the tournament, he would obtain a far more powerful status. On top of that, his base was under the Panya government, meaning his own country could not control him, and neither could Panya due to their contract.“I wonder how Sui Mo

The two ladies stepped onto the stage.“Damn, two vicious ladies. I wonder who’s going to win?” Benjamin said, watching with interest.“Sui Mo, of course. Who else?” Heng Mei replied matter-of-factly. Samuel silently agreed.“Come on, is it because she’s from your country? That’s understandable. Everyone wants one of their own to win.” Benjamin nodded as he spoke.“He’s right, Benjamin. Sui Mo is going to win,” Samuel said calmly.Benjamin nodded and did not argue again. Samuel’s words were always more reliable.The fight began. Rubi immediately seized the upper hand, pressing forward with fierce, relentless attacks. Sui Mo, however, did not seem to care. She retreated steadily, defending with clean precision, her movements calm, controlled, and deliberate.“Is it just me, or does it feel like Sui Mo is planning something deeper?” Amelia frowned.“She’s waiting,” Samuel said. “Waiting for Rubi to expose her flaws while quietly controlling the pace. She’s defending while forcing Rubi t

The moment he unslung it, his aura shifted abruptly. Those closest to the Arena stage felt the pressure crash down on them. Imagine Peter, standing at the very center of it.Bruce moved. Fast. Shockingly fast for someone wielding such a heavy sword.He swung at once, unleashing one of his strongest technique. He had no intention of wasting time.The instant Peter saw the attack, all his confidence evaporated. He clenched his teeth and prepared to dodge.He underestimated Bruce.The moment Peter moved, Bruce adjusted effortlessly, the blade twisting mid-arc to track his trajectory perfectly.“You want to escape? No way,” the brute thundered as he stepped forward, his speed surging in an instant.The attack struck Peter head-on and sent him flying several miles away from the main arena stage.The entire Arena fell into stunned silence.One strike. That was all it took. A single strike to defeat Peter, the so-called strongest of Ugai!It reminded everyone just how terrifying the top coun

Samuel and the rest did not go to the arena for the next two days. The upcoming fights were reserved for those who had not completed the third day and for those who had failed.However, today they decided to go anyway, even though none of them had any matches scheduled. The reason was simple. Benjamin was about to have his final qualification match. If he won, he would advance to the next stage of the competition.Samuel and Amelia chose to attend and cheer for him. Heng Mei also joined them, as he was not occupied with anything important at the moment.In the arena.The number of people present today had increased significantly compared to the previous two days. This was because today would determine the five individuals who would advance to the next round of the tournament.Only ten people remained. Today, they would be paired against one another. Anyone who successfully defeated their opponent would automatically move on to the next round.“Are you nervous?” Amber asked softly, loo
