Chapter 622: Central Plaza. The Competition Has Begun!
“It is said that Reynolds, before entering seclusion, had already reached the terrifying peak of the demigod level. I wonder what sort of existence he will be when he reappears in front of the world!”
The tavern owner said excitedly.
“That might be the first person in the history of our underground city to break through to the god level!”
“Break through to become a god?”
The old drunkard’s jaw dropped in shock and he stared at the person in front of him in astonishment.
Breaking through to become a demigod was of great significance!
This underground city was deep underground, isolated from the outside world, and wasn’t well known by the world.
If an expert of the god level could appear, then there would most likely be an extremely powerful city-state that would be able to dominate the entire underworld!
At that time, all of the ordinary people of the Underworld would come to pay their respects to the underground city because a god had appeared in the underground city!
When the old drunkard thought of this, his eyes began to shine with excitement.
“This gathering in the central plaza… could it be that the purpose of this gathering is to announce the results of the former King Reynolds’s closed-door training, as well as his current strength?”
Hearing the old drunkard’s question, the tavern owner shook his head.
“No, no, no. This time, it’s different!”
The old drunkard was so surprised that he clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. Tsk, what is that for?”
The tavern owner shook his head and said.
“I heard from my neighbors that the old king is going to have a competition with a foreigner in the central plaza…”
“Ah?”
Before the tavern owner could finish speaking, the old drunkard said in surprise.
“How is this possible? Someone wants to challenge the old king, Reynolds’s authority!”
“Reynolds has already reached the god level!”
“Exactly!”
The tavern owner drank a mouthful of wine, then said angrily.
“I also feel that my neighbor is deceiving me!”
“How can there be someone who dares to challenge a god?”
“In the entire Underworld, there aren’t many gods. Those god experts are simply like the feathers of those rare and strange beasts, and the scales of those evil dragons are as rare as they are rare. A foreigner actually dares to challenge the authority of our old king.”
“As I see it, if there really is such a person, then he’s just courting death!”
The tavern owner let out a drunken belch and said angrily.
“Let’s go. The guards are chasing people away. Let’s go to the central plaza and see who is in such a hurry to die and who dares to challenge our Iron-Blooded King. Let’s go!”
The old drunkard slapped his thigh with an angry look on his face. With a wave of his hand, he headed towards the central plaza, following the stream of people in that direction!
Heads were moving, and the streets were filled with people!
The central plaza was extremely lively.
The Iron-Blooded King Reynolds stood on the stage with a calm expression, his eyes closed as he rested.
“Joelson, you should calm down…”
Elena looked at Joelson worriedly. At this moment, she already didn’t know what to do.
“Go and apologize to the Iron-Blooded King now. Can’t we just leave with the resplendent gemstones?”
Hearing Elena’s words, a smile appeared under the mask of Joelson.
“Haha, Elena, we men sometimes have no room for compromise.”
Joelson said calmly. This sentence immediately attracted the attention of Mia.
“You women won’t understand. As men, there’s no room for retreat.”
After saying this, Joelson calmly walked onto the large arena in the central plaza.
“Young man, you still have one last chance.”
Reynolds closed his eyes and coldly said.
“I say, why do you have so much nonsense to say…”
Joelson said with a speechless expression.
“You!”
Reynolds suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze towards Joelson was filled with unkindness!
“Can we begin?”
Joelson completely didn’t care about the other party’s rage. Instead, he calmly said.
“Of course.”
Reynolds threw down his sword and walked towards Joelson with a cold expression.
“Oh!”
The commoners in the audience immediately cheered!
“Our King!”
“Our Iron-Blooded King!”
The earth-shattering cheers were dedicated to Reynolds.
No one in the audience thought highly of Joelson. When they saw the man wearing the King of Spades mask in front of them, everyone booed.
On the other hand, Joelson looked calm. He didn’t care about the boos.
“All the residents of the underground city have gathered. Are you ready?”
The current king, Leighton, stood on the high platform and asked loudly.
“I’m ready.”
Joelson said calmly.
“This competition is based on the principle of friendship first and second place. You can’t kill.
“In the competition, one side will lose consciousness, or stop when admitting defeat.”
“May I ask if the two of you have any questions?”
The current underground city’s king, Leighton, announced loudly, looking down at the two people below.
Foolish brat, pay the price of your arrogance!
Leighton’s gaze towards Joelson was filled with disdain.
Leighton was extremely clear about his father’s strength!
The gap between the ranks of a demigod and a god couldn’t be bridged by talent.
No one could!
Just by relying on his imagination, Leighton could imagine how his father would beat up Joelson in a moment.
A crushing battle without any suspense would instantly destroy all of Joelson’s arrogance.
The difference in power between gods would cause this bastard to directly cry out in despair, right?
When Leighton thought of this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.
He couldn’t wait to announce the beginning of everything.
“Now, everyone, take your places!”
Leighton raised his right hand high up.
“Prepare!”
All of the audience members held their breaths.
Elena shut her eyes in fear. She didn’t want to see Joelson suffer such a crushing defeat. She didn’t want to see Joelson being beaten to the point where he couldn’t even take care of himself due to the difference in power.
Mia also turned her head away. She could not bear to see the tragic defeat of Joelson.
The Iron-Blooded King of the underground city, the previous King Reynolds, had a smile on his face. His body was ready to attack. He was ready to crush the self-confidence of this b*stard in front of him!
Back then, when he was young, he had killed the senseless old king in the central plaza. He had achieved the peak of his life and ascended to the position of a king.
Now, this masked young man in front of him was the proof that he had come out of retirement!
In the central plaza, Reynolds would use a swift and decisive duel to declare his return!
Your Iron-Blooded King has returned!
“Let the duel begin!”
With this command, the audience’s enthusiasm soared, and the excitement of all the underground city residents reached its peak!
“Reynolds! Reynolds! Reynolds!”
Everyone raised their hands high, cheering and roaring as they presented themselves to their old king!
