If they had not known that the stage had a barrier around it and that they could not get on, they would have rushed up there to protect Lesley!The flames raged for a few moments before slowly receding. The frostfire wolf slowly got closer to the part that was burning the most intensely. After the flames receded, a charred, almost blackened figure was revealed, and everyone could barely recognize him.The moment the sight registered, they forgot to even breathe.Lesley had been burned to a crisp. Looking at him, there was no doubt that he had died. Cries of shock and agony could be heard in the spectator stands.Everyone turned to look at the source of the noise, and they saw that the place where the disciples of the Deer Pavilion were gathered rang out with cries. Everyone knew very well that Lesley was dead.It was far too unexpected. Everything had happened so quickly, so much so that they were caught off guard. They did not expect the beast's power to be so immense that it bur
He had also heard that Arne's family name was King. It looked like he and Lesley were close and should have been blood relatives. No wonder the two of them acted the same way.The match's result was determined in the blink of an eye as the skull-masked caretakers started to walk toward the stage, coming up to clean the aftermath. If no one carried the corpse away, the caretakers would have gotten rid of the body like trash.The disciples of the Deer Pavilion would naturally not let Lesley's body be treated that way. All of them held their sadness back as they picked up Lesley's corpse and left the stage.It was only then did everyone calm down from the shock. The battle had exceeded their expectations. They had thought that they had already seen the results, but the beast actually fought back and killed Lesley.That beast's strength had exceeded any of their imaginations. It was stronger than any regular beast!"Lesley was too unlucky. It looks like that beast was probably the str
Facing the crowd, the disciples of the Deer Pavilion trembled in anger. They felt like everyone was causing them trouble for no reason.At that moment, Arne was incredibly emotional. After all, Lesley had died such a horrible death. Thus, Arne was the first one to verbally engage with the crowd."You ignorant fools! You were the ones who were betting so frantically. Did we force you to go place your bets? You were the one who chose who to bet on, so what does it have to do with us?!"The moment he said that, it was like he had thrown ice into a pot of boiling oil, and it suddenly exploded. Some of the warriors were so emotional that they started to quarrel with the Deer Pavilion."How dare you say that! The choice was ours, you say?! Were you not standing there and staring, mocking anyone who betted on the beasts?!"After Arne heard those accusations, he laughed coldly as he said in disdain, "We were just speaking the truth. We never forced you to choose Lesley! In the end, you we
Arne's words had been difficult to swallow, and they ignited everyone's anger. Everyone started to feel righteous indignation. After the person in front of Fane aired his grievance, his anger never left him as he looked at Arne with gritted teeth. It was as if he wanted to see how the Deer Pavilion would try to talk their way out of it.It would have been one thing if he had not pointed Fane out, but the moment Fane became part of the topic, Arne's anger boiled over.Everything Fane was etched into Arne's mind vividly. He could not forget how Fane had looked at them in disdain, completely looking down on them.Fane had even won the bet in the end, which caused Arne to hate Fane even more. Arne narrowed his eyes, turning to look at Fane. Anyone could see the venom in Arne's eyes.He looked like a snake, ready to strike at any moment.Arne snorted. "This guy was just pretending before this, I can't believe all of you couldn't tell. Even if he won, it's all because he got lucky. He
Could he have the amount of insight and knowledge? Was it just like Arne said—that Fane had merely been lucky in his gamble and wanted to stand out by voting in favor of the frostfire wolf instead?Arne narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fane mockingly as though daring him to do something.Rudy was so angry that he started to pant. His eyes turned red and his hands trembled, looking like he was prepared to rush over at any moment.He was not able to outspeak Arne. Arne's ability to twist the truth was far above Rudy, and Rudy felt incredibly suffocated at all of that. The truth was clearly not that way, but Arne seemed to have turned Fane into a show-off in just a few words.Fane raised an eyebrow and sighed helplessly as he looked up at the person in front of him. If that person had not pointed him out, he would not have been dragged into this.Fane was not someone who enjoyed unnecessary trouble like that. Furthermore, there would not be any results from these arguments at all. T
When Lesley had been introduced earlier, quite a few people had mentioned Lesley's relationship with the head elder of the Deer Pavilion. At that moment, everyone felt like the head elder would definitely nurture Lesley with the best resources since they had close ties to each other.Lesley's skills then would definitely be better than any ordinary chosen disciple from a seventh-grade clan. Yet, the truth proved everything. Lesley was already dead, his body was absolutely blackened. It proved that Lesley's skills were nothing much!With Fane's explanation, everyone started to agree with Fane's statement. Lesley became a chosen disciple not through his own skills but through other means.Lesley did not possess skills at all, but he managed to trick everyone due to the fake position he held. It caused everyone to bet their spirit crystals on him!Arne did not expect that Fane would actually be able to explain it. Arne was aware of Lesley's skills, and the fact that he became a chosen
"He'd probably been flattered too much to the degree that he doesn't know his actual level. That's how he managed to trick everyone to bet on him!""This guy is right! Everything has been proven! It really is too much. It's so frustrating! We never had much as wandering warriors, but we were tricked by all of you into betting our money on a piece of trash!"I feel like coughing up blood just thinking about it! I was actually tricked by a piece of trash who only knows how to brag. It's embarrassing just thinking about it!""Stop with the nonsense and pay me back for my losses. You were the ones who tricked us! Claiming to be a chosen disciple from the Deer Pavilion when he had gotten his position through other means! How shameless!""That's right! Hurry up and pay us back. I don't want to hear your explanations anymore! The more you try, the worse it sounds! All of you are just trash who don't have the skills to back up your positions!"In truth, everyone knew that there was a very
When Arne said all of that, he had a look of intense hatred on his face. It was as if Fane was an incredibly disgusting person.When Fane heard Arne, he laughed and raised his eyebrow, "How are you going to prove it? Are you going to prove it through battle? Will you fight the beasts of the colosseum just like Lesley?"If you win, will it prove that you are a legitimate chosen disciple? How convincing do you think that will be? After all, everyone knows that there's always a chance that you get lucky and choose a weaker beast. Then, I don't think it'll show anything even if you win…"Fane's words cut off another one of Arne's plans. So what if he won? It would not prove anything in the end! Arne felt incredibly frustrated. It felt like he could faint at any moment.He looked at Fane with intense hatred. Fane was just setting traps all over. Everyone could see what Fane was doing, but Arne could do nothing about it.Arne wanted to clear his and Lesley's name, so everyone would need
