Various thoughts surfaced in Looney's head, and he took a deep breath to compose himself. He settled his nerves
after having battled the steel-armored fighter before he calmly walked out of the room to the next challenge.
The spectators had complicated feelings after looking at the two battles.
With the situation, it was hard to tell who was stronger. However, compared to the participants before, those two
seemed to have dealt with the steel-armored fighter with more than enough to spare. They would likely be able to
win.
The crowd was envious. After all, if they won, it would be 15 pieces of purple gold in their pockets. That was no
small amount, and they would be able to buy a lot of good things to improve their skills.
A bearded man said loudly, "I told you to listen to me! Zelter is the strongest and you should've bet your spirit
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcrystals on him, yet you refused to listen. It's like you think I want to hurt you. Look now, aren't I right?"
His fellow disciple next to him frowned and looked at the bearded man. "I think Looney is quite skilled too. He's just
a little slower."
Bets were happening within the walls of the Killing Hall.
Jack and the others had been late to enter, and the betting area was already closed when they arrived.
The Killing Hall's betting area allowed a person to bet on who would kill the golden-armored fighter the fastest. It
had the same rules as the Capture Hall, and the odds would change whenever someone bet on any participant.
All three ofthem had their odds already lowered to around 1:15. Even though most of them thought that Zelter was
better, they still had reservations.
It was hard to tell who would win, so some of them just bet on the one with the best odds. In the end, most of their
odds were about the same.
The bearded man frowned, clearly not happy that he was spoken back to.
He raised his voice and said, "I told you to not be stubborn! Didn't you see what happened? Zelter killed the steel-
armored fighter in one blow. He's a close-range warrior too. He'll be able to kill the golden armored fighter much
more quickly!"
The Killing Hall had a unique rule. The three of them started the challenge together. The final room would be
opened at the same time as well. Most of the time, everyone would try to make sure they were in the best state
possible before challenging the last room.
The last room had a button. If they felt like they were ready, they could press it. Only when all three participants
had pressed it would the room be activated and the challengers be allowed in.
The betting area was to bet on who would be the first person to kill the golden-armored fighter.
The bearded man's fellow disciple pursed his lips. Even though he was afraid of his fellow disciple, he was not willing
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto admit that he was wrong.
He cleared his throat. "Everyone enters the room at the same time. The golden-armored fighter isn't an easy foe to
deal with. Even though Zelter had killed the steel-armored fighter quicker, it doesn't mean he'll be able to kill the
golden-armored fighter at a quicker pace as well."
"Looney is a long-range attacker, and his attacks cover a vast area. At the same time, he can pull away from his
opponents, ensuring that he's safe. It means that his combat ability won't be affected by injury, which is why I think
he has a better chance."
The bearded man was a bit annoyed at those words. "What a load of crap! Even if Looney's a long-range attacker,
it doesn't mean he'll be safe from any injuries. Your explanation is just so stubborn! The golden-armored fighter's
speed is far faster than the other two."
