My queen is rebelling!

At the same time, Raymond also spoke:

“Since everyone is questioning the credibility of the Extraordinary Arena, let’s follow the ‘Shadow Lord’s’ suggestion.

Also, we won’t collect registration fees this time, and whoever wins the match will still get the prize money!”

With Raymond’s answer, the arena suddenly became much more lively.

Many people were eager to try; these ordinary Tier 1 Extraordinary individuals rarely had such an opportunity to be the center of attention.

Now, even the nobles in the first two rows of the stands, who they usually couldn't reach, were paying attention to this match.

Moreover, the registration fee of 10 gold coins was waived, which also moved the hearts of those lower-level Extraordinary individuals who usually wanted to participate but were deterred by the expensive registration fee.

In an instant, Cohen became a desirable target in everyone's eyes, and everyone wanted to get gold and show off by defeating him.

Raymond glanced at the host not far away, who understood and said to the audience:

“Anyone who wants to participate in the match can step onto the arena.”

As soon as the voice fell, a martial monk carrying a long staff walked up.

The martial monk touched his bald head and looked at Cohen with a grin:

“‘Shadow Lord’ sir, can we start the match?”

Before he finished speaking, a thief with a black cloth covering his face jumped down and shouted at the martial monk:

“Why should you go first?”

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking, 'Good heavens, they really treat me like a pushover, and everyone wants to take a shot at me.'

It seems I should give them a memorable lesson.

Cohen suddenly chuckled and looked around:

“Is there anyone else who wants to come down?”

Noisy voices arose, and five more professionals walked down from the stands.

Judging from their clothes, they were all small figures struggling at the bottom, and their eyes gleamed with greed as they looked at Cohen.

Cohen said leisurely:

“You seven, who should I fight first?”

The seven people looked at Cohen with burning eyes, wishing he would choose them first.

He pretended to think for a few seconds, and then said softly:

“It’s not easy to choose, so forget it, you can all come at me together.”

Cohen's words stunned the seven people on the arena, including the audience in the stands.

A moment of strange silence appeared in the arena.

But for a Tier 1 to fight against seven Tier 1 Extraordinary individuals at the same time… it’s a bit unbelievable!

Sandro let out a disdainful laugh:

“Lord Raymond, isn’t this kid a clown you hired from the Extraordinary Arena to deliberately amuse everyone?”

The others also had this question more or less.

The seven people on the arena suddenly felt a surge of anger, as this was clearly looking down on them!

Cohen looked at Raymond:

“Is it okay?”

Raymond was also interested at this time and wanted to see how this kid would end up, so he nodded:

“Of course!”

Then he said to the seven people who came on stage:

“Whoever knocks him down gets the prize money!”

After speaking, Raymond left the arena, leaving only Cohen and the seven others.

The audience's emotions were completely aroused at this time. One against seven, this had never happened in the Florentia Extraordinary Arena.

The host's commentary sounded:

“I really didn’t expect such a scene to appear, one against seven! Will the mysterious ‘Shadow Lord’ complete this unprecedented feat of defeating seven opponents in a row, or will he pay the price for his arrogance? The answer will be revealed soon!”

As soon as the starting whistle sounded, the seven people attacked at the same time. Raymond had just said that whoever knocked down Cohen would get the prize money.

They were originally Extraordinary individuals who struggled at the bottom of society, and they usually fought tooth and nail for a copper coin, let alone these full ten gold coins?

The host explained quickly:

“The match has begun. Obviously, all seven people want to be the one to knock down the ‘Shadow Lord’ first. Our protagonist is still motionless like in the previous three matches! Is he confident or helpless? Let’s wait and see!”

Cohen looked coldly at the seven figures approaching him, locking onto the martial monk who was running the fastest.

Among these seven people, his aura was the strongest, and his true strength should already be close to Tier 2. A golden light flashed in his eyes—Willpower Check!

The martial monk, who was sprinting, only felt a dizziness in his head and shivered all over.

Check passed.

[Blade Snatch], activate!

The martial monk's hands suddenly felt light, and the long staff in his hand disappeared inexplicably!

The host's astonished voice sounded:

“Oh my god! What did I see! The weapon has been snatched again! It’s exactly the same as the barbarian who lost his double hammers before! Does this mysterious ‘Shadow Lord’ have the skill to snatch weapons? He’s moving, the ‘Shadow Lord’ has taken the initiative to attack!”

Cohen held the long staff tightly in both hands, tapped the ground lightly with his feet, and rushed towards the seven people who were coming fiercely. The high movement speed brought by the Ghost Crab allowed him to approach the seven people instantly.

The sudden disappearance of the martial monk's weapon and the sudden appearance of the long staff in Cohen's hand caused a huge uproar.

This time, everyone could see clearly that the two were more than ten meters apart, so how did the weapon suddenly get into Cohen's hands?

Not only were the ordinary spectators in the stands stunned, but even many people in the boxes on the first few floors stood up and came out to watch the match carefully.

The seven people on the arena obviously didn't have time to be surprised, because Cohen had already arrived in front of them.

The martial monk was still clever and said to the people around him:

“This kid is weird, he seems to be able to snatch weapons. Everyone, hold your weapons tightly and kill him with one blow!”

Cohen sneered and waved the long staff in front of him. The shadows of the staff were heavy, like a mad dragon dancing wildly, as if to tear the air apart.

The host's speech was extremely fast:

“It seems that this ‘Shadow Lord’s’ staff skills are very skilled. Could it be that he is proficient in long staff techniques? No wonder he wants to take the martial monk’s weapon first. But if he only relies on this to resist the joint attack of seven people, it’s a bit of a fantasy…”

However, the sudden change in the arena abruptly interrupted the host's voice, and the commentary that had not been uttered was stuck in his throat—

Cohen waved the long staff, forming a fierce vortex around him. With a bang, the attacks of the seven people landed on the vortex.

Retaliation Storm, Absolute Defense!

The sounds of clanging and banging rang out.

The seven people who joined forces only felt a burst of numbness in their arms holding their weapons, and their muscles trembled, as if they had hit a hard rock.

Wow!

There was an uproar in the stands.

The host shouted in surprise: “Oh my god, what happened? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I simply wouldn’t believe it. The joint attack of seven people didn’t break the defense of a Tier 1? Even the [Shield Warrior] who is proficient in the way of defense can’t do this!”

Two seconds passed in a flash, and Cohen activated [Retaliation Storm] again!

Dizziness!

The seven people suddenly felt their souls tremble and their consciousness confused, as if they had been hit by a Daze spell!

Everyone was stunned for one second!

The host’s exclamation, even higher than before, came:

“Why did these seven people suddenly freeze… This… Is this a Daze spell? A spell! Could this ‘Shadow Lord’ be a spellcaster? A dual cultivator of magic and martial arts! What the hell, what kind of Extraordinary profession is this?”

In an Extraordinary battle, one second is often the key to determining victory or defeat. Cohen raised the long staff high, and the passive bonus brought by [Weapon Proficiency] made him seem to be one with the long staff at this moment, swinging it out hundreds of times at a rapid speed, each swing carrying an indomitable momentum.

The seven people were instantly hit in their vitals and knocked to the ground.

The host’s commentary came to an abrupt end, and the entire competition venue fell into a deathly silence!
