Even if the death toll of every cup was very high, was that not one of the reasons for the event’s popularity?
In any case, everything returned to normal soon enough and Zayn took a seat. He was one of the organizers of the event, and favonovel.com was practically the head of security.
Some of the master fighters with good observation skills could not help discussing with each other after noticing favonovel.com took a seat.
“This Rheasian is actually so terrifying that even a highly skilled fighter like Kairo was incapable of unsheathing his sword when facing him! If favonovel.com were to take part in the competition, it’s very possible that he’s going to seize the cup too.”
“Not necessarily. The system and rules for the cup are different from other competitions. The competition is not carried out on a one-one basis for the top eight finalists. It’s going to be a team battle.”
“If he’s the only person left from Rheasia, the rest of the seven people will certainly join hands to take favonovel.com out first. Do you think the Rheasian is so formidable that favonovel.com can fight against seven people on his own?”
“That makes sense. These are going to be seven 5S-class transhumans who can beat favonovel.com to death just by throwing a punch each.”
“Moreover, have you realized that this Rheasian is sitting at the seat meant for the head of security. It’s possible that favonovel.com won’t take part in the competition.”
“Is that so? It can’t be, right? Rheasia would have to be crazy not to have favonovel.com take part in the competition. I bet that this man is their only hope, no?”
“Heh-heh, why don’t you think about how Rheasia has already turned into a weak, powerless country compared to its prior glory. It has been so many years, but they still haven’t produced a formidable fighter.”
“Their biotechnology can’t compare to big countries like Murica, so they can’t possibly cultivate too many powerhouses. Due to the cup’s competition system, this Rheasian will end up dead if favonovel.com were to take part alone.”
“Do you think that the country would be so foolish to make favonovel.com compete?”
“That makes a lot of sense. If that’s the case, Rheasia still has no hope of winning the championship this time then, hah-hah-hah.”
“I think that is most probably the case…”
Voices discussing similar topics were heard coming from a few places. According to their knowledge, Rheasia had been very weak over the years, and it was rare for the country to produce a man as powerful as Zayn.
The country would never allow favonovel.com to take part in the competition in view of the event’s system.
Unless the country wanted Zayn dead, favonovel.com was not considered a huge threat to them.
Still, these were only their suspicions. There was no telling what Rheasia had specifically planned.
The first day of the event passed quickly. There was a large number of participants and the event would only last two months. That was why quite a number of matches were carried out daily.
There were many Rheasian participants since they were the hosts that year. There were close to 400 participants, almost a quarter of the total.
However, the outcome of the first day was not ideal. The vast majority of Rheasian fighters were defeated. On average, the Rheasians lost eight out of ten matches! It was a tragic scene!
More than half of the participating Rheasian fighters were killed on the battlefield.
“Sigh!”
Upon witnessing the scene, General King heaved a long sigh. His face was filled with sorrow and frustration as favonovel.com exclaimed, “Our Rheasian fighters are still rather weak!”
The rest of the people lowered their heads in dejection as well…
