Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"Warriors of the kingdom, winners of the gladiatorial battle, I am proud of you!" The governor of Scone Town ascended to the high platform and shouted to everyone in the arena, "You have successfully reached the fifth round. According to the competition system, you will compete with others. Tradition, I will grant you the status of 'warrior'!"

The audience immediately burst into cheers and applause.

For the current gladiator winners, they will no longer be ordinary Shaq civilians, but will be promoted to a respected warrior class.

This is truly the cream of the crop.

However, upon closer inspection, those with excited expressions actually accounted for only a small half of the winners.

Needless to say, the veterans of the rematch have been warriors for a long time. The rewards in this round have nothing to do with them, and these people will not participate in the conferment ceremony later. It is purely a formality.

In addition to them, there are more than half of the new fighters.

What is abnormal is that among these new warriors, many of them do not seem to have any major emotional changes.

for example……

Road dream?

"Brother Lu, I'm sorry..." Huo Buyang stood beside him, feeling a little depressed, "I lost."

"It's okay, your luck is too bad." Lu Meng looked at the crowd, "Even if I meet him, I may not be able to beat him."

Xiao Huo's strength is probably just stuck on the edge.

In previous years, Xiao Huo's ability to win the fifth round would have been a sure thing.

If you can meet a weaker opponent, you can advance smoothly.

It's a pity that what he met happened to be the best-performing newcomer in this class.

The Shaq man named "Yamin" looked like a young and energetic young man. However, as soon as he stepped onto the field and held the segmented axe, his whole demeanor changed - the skill of a veteran The madness of the berserker appeared in him at the same time, and he could seize the enemy's weaknesses in a matter of minutes, and he had no scruples in attacking.

Except for meeting Huo Buyang, the first four rounds he faced were all veterans. Just when everyone (especially the gamblers) was not optimistic about him, Yamin suddenly went through four.

From then on, he emerged and stood out.

Oh, and that includes Buck.

The south gate guard failed to fulfill his big dream of promotion and salary increase, and also failed to fulfill his small dream of 'teaching' Lu Meng a lesson on the field, so he was eliminated.

Simple elimination is still good.

Because when the veteran in the second round faced Yamin, he was cut off in the middle by his segmented ax just because of a moment of negligence and his hand was two inches too slow.

Yamin was also the first to kill his opponent in this Thunder Arena.

In comparison, Huo Buyang's ability to save his life was already good.

This was also thanks to his proficiency in the use of ten hands, and his timely response to Yamin's fatal blow; the new equipment Lu Meng built for him was also very effective, and he completely caught the opponent's giant blade without damage.

Huo Buyang just broke the fence and fell out of the field without being split open.

Yamin blocks gods and kills gods all the way, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddhas. Anyone who encounters him is unlucky. Such a newcomer is also considered to be the favorite to win this year's championship.

It is said that they no longer bet on winning or losing in subsequent handicaps involving Yamin, because there is too little suspense - their bets are on "Yamin will solve the opponent with several moves" and "Will the opponent die, and whether there will be a whole body"? The problem.

"There will be an Easter match next." Lu Meng comforted and reminded, "We'll give it up as soon as it's ready."

There is still a high probability that Xiao Huo will become a warrior through the resurrection match as a substitute, but the intensity of subsequent matches will continue to increase, and sooner or later he will not be able to cope with it.

Not only newbie monsters like Yamin, but also veterans eyeing military positions have been holding their breath - many of whom can compete with Yamin for the championship.

As for Lu Meng himself.

He also has a headache for young Shaqs like Yamin who are just starting out and eager to prove themselves.

Traditional education and a sense of honor are deeply rooted in their hearts. Even if it's just a game, if you put your life into it, you can really die together - but he still has the strength.

The Thunder Arena is actually not conducive to Lu Meng's performance. In this arena-like competition system, there are many methods and strategies that are inconvenient to use.

"Yeah." Huo Buyang cheered up.

In fact, as long as Lu Meng is not disappointed with him, losing the game is nothing.

…

"Brother Lu, good job, you will also be our Shaq warrior from now on." Kang put his arms around Lu Meng's shoulders and sighed with emotion: "I'll say that my vision is not wrong - a warrior's magnanimity cannot be concealed! "

"Don't mention your eyes anymore." Lu Meng smiled and opened the big hand that seemed to be holding him.

"Hmph, but if we fight against each other, those two moves of yours will be useless against me." Kang said with a 'threat' and hit him.

The big man Shaq has also successfully passed the fifth round, and the next step is the main event that he is focused on.

"It's a pity that the Lord of Dashan City has something to do with us. I won't be able to watch you, brother, be sealed later." Kang said goodbye, not without regret.

After all, he is still employed and very busy.

"Take care." Lu Meng said casually.

In fact, other veterans have already left.

At the moment, the chief of the administration is awarding medals to the new soldiers.

The excited young Shaqs came on stage one after another. The governor of the government fistfighted with them without any pretensions, and then hung the iron plates symbolizing the status of warriors on their necks or ax handles.

"Lu Beiyou!" He called out the name.

Lu Meng grabbed the knife and stepped forward.

"Well done young man, you are from our Shaq tribe..." The governor swallowed the second half of the sentence.

He was already very proficient in the phrases, and what followed should have been something like "The pride of the Sharks, the successor of the blood of Krall, the sharp blade of the Stone Demon Queen...".

However, when he took a quick look, he saw that the person standing in front of him was a human being.

The same old words don’t apply.

This kind of situation has happened before, but after all, it happened rarely. It is a bit difficult for the governor of the Shaq ethnic group to act on the spot.

"Ah uh uh..." He said vaguely, "Anyway, congratulations!"

There was sparse applause.

When other Shaq fighters reach this stage, the audience often cheers. When Yamin came on stage, the Shaks even roared like a war cry. If they hadn't squeezed out of the auditorium, just by hearing the noise, they would have thought they were charging into battle.

Now they obviously don't know what reason to cheer for this flat-skinned man.

In addition, Lu Meng's record performance can only be considered mediocre. Except for Huang Jun, his opponents are not strong - especially compared to those monsters.

Shaq's audience also lost interest.

Lu Meng noticed that those who applauded were basically humans present, such as Huang Jun and his younger brother, and Xiao Huo was particularly hard-working.

Oh yes, there is one exception...

"Brother Lu, look this way!" Ashu shouted and waved from the audience.

Hearing that today was the day when warriors were awarded the title, he skipped work and came over to join in the fun.

Lu Meng smiled and shook his head, and was about to take the iron plate handed over by the chief of the prison.

"Crack, snap, snap."

At this moment, a sudden burst of applause sounded in the arena. It did not come from the ground, but from high up——

The small cubicle covered with a red curtain.
