The black staff, as if endlessly extending.

At the tip, a spherical bulge aimed straight at Chen Yu.

Aimed at him, too, were the gazes of hundreds of thousands in the audience and billions of viewers in front of their televisions.

"He... he's not actually going to accept the challenge, is he?" The plump neighbor, who had been watching the change in Chen Yu's expression through the broadcast screen, stood up in alarm.

Inside the preparation area, Chen Yu placed the severed limb of the previous female Transcendent on the ground, then without any hesitation, took a step forward.

"Whoa—"

The entire arena erupted in surprise.

"You can refuse," the invigilator couldn't help but step forward, reaching out to block Chen Yu, "Don't be rash."

"Why should I refuse?"

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, puffed out his chest, and after surveying the entire arena, suddenly bellowed, "A true man, born between heaven and earth, can not languish in obscurity for long... wait, that's not the right word."

Furrowing his brow, he pondered for a moment, then looked toward the camera again, "A true man, born between heaven and earth, for his country, for his people, shall not fear death! How can we, the noble human race with a million years of inheritance, tolerate the humiliation by other races?"

The invigilator was dumbfounded.

The chief examiner's smile became stiff.

In the grand arena, the more than four hundred thousand spectators on-site were all stunned, falling silent.

[Admired: Prestige -3221; Charm -447; Fortune -132...](Stricken through)

Pushing the invigilator aside, Chen Yu's gaze fixed directly on the camera, but he continued to move towards the platform, "I, a mere mortal with a fragile body and voice too weak to command attention, am not destined for greatness. Yet, born a human, when civilization is tainted, I too can offer my heart for humanity!"

Every word rang out with resolute power.

Like thunder, they exploded in the minds of all viewers.

"..."

"Boom—"

After a brief silence, the arena capable of holding hundreds of thousands boiled over.

Men and women, young and old.

All stood up, their faces red and voices hoarse from shouting, screaming, roaring, screeching.

On the screen, Chen Yu's face was permanently etched into people's memories.

Even the always expressionless head of the Alliance from the presidential platform couldn't help but twitch his aged face, deeply moved.

"Charge!"

Chen Yu raised his hands high, clenching his fists.

Instantly, the hundreds of thousands fell silent, all looking towards Chen Yu with bloodshot eyes.

As if beholding the king of civilization itself.

"Bastard," Chen Yu pointed directly at the bewildered centaur on the stage, "Even if you kill me today, you will never extinguish the soul of humanity that I embrace!"

"Boom—"

The crowd erupted again.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

The plump neighbor, moved to tears, clapped his hands furiously.

Behind him, many from the D and E tiers of Transcendents, pillars of their community, also stood up.

It seemed as though a light had ignited in the eyes of each one.

"Good!!"

Inside the preparation area, the long-haired man, unusually excited, rushed up and embraced Chen Yu.

Making a strong appearance on the live broadcast, "Brother! Well done!"

"If I don't come back," Chen Yu stretched his neck, peering over the long-haired man's shoulder towards the camera, "my family is in your hands."

"Don't talk like that," the long-haired man, holding Chen Yu, turned around, exposing his face to the camera, "You'll be fine."

"That'll do," Chen Yu, also embracing the man, turned back to the camera, "I'm heading up."

"Dammit! Why didn't it choose me?!" The long-haired man turned back halfway, his eyes reddening, "How much I wish I could go up there in your place."

"Then go," Chen Yu's expression suddenly calmed, stepping back two paces.

The long-haired man: "..."

This abrupt turn of events left the hundreds of thousands of spectators bewildered for a moment.

Then the applause was deafening.

"Come on!"

"Well done!"

"Aaaaahhh!!"

"OHOHOHOH..."

"Clap clap clap clap—"

Watching Chen Yu slowly walk back to the preparation area, the long-haired man, shocked for a long while, looked up at the chief examiner in the sky, "Uh, does this violate the rules?"

"Taking someone's place in the ring is not forbidden by the rules, and what the law does not forbid is allowed. As long as the challenger has no objections."

After speaking, the chief examiner exchanged a few words with the centaur on the stage in the Ka Xiu clan language, then nodded, "The other party has no objections. They said it doesn't matter which human comes up."

The long-haired man: "..."

"Sigh." Squatting in a corner of the preparation area, Chen Yu exhaled wearily, "What are you even trying to prove."

"Dong!"

The centaur on the stage, growing impatient, swung its iron club and hit the ground, "KP. (Come on up.)"

"Defeat it!"

"Kill!!"

"Die, bastard!"

"Get out..."

The hundreds of thousands in the audience swung their fists vigorously, cursing loudly.

The people, emotions stirred by Chen Yu's words, now just wanted to see the Alliance Academy's number one bring down this "damn" foreigner.

After all, in everyone's eyes, Chen Yu, with his low strength, ascending the stage was only tragic.

As for the "number one," the long-haired man, going up was hope!

"Come on!" From the VIP seats, among the many Transcendents, a bearded Transcendent lifted his hand, activating his innate abilities, his voice thundering across the field, "Kid! Beat him!!"

The tens of thousands of spectators with drumsticks caught on immediately, following the rhythm, beating the drums with all their might.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Come on!" The plump neighbor, along with all the Transcendents, cried out in unison.

"Boom boom boom!!"

"Come on!!" The voices of hundreds of thousands in the crowd rose together in a shout.
