Chapter 926: Chapter 926: The Competition Begins

The expressions on both their faces were extremely grave.

The atmosphere inside the Beast Fighting Arena was tense and oppressive.

The entire Beast Fighting Arena was divided in half by a heavy iron gate, separating the battle regions of Xue Zhao and Xue Wei.

Inside the iron gate, dozens of Monster Beasts were roaring terrifyingly, their eyes flashing with red light in the darkness, sending chills down one’s spine.

These Monster Beasts varied: some were enormous with sharp fangs, others were agile with claws like knives, and some were surrounded by lightning, exuding terrifying Energy Fluctuations.

Above the Beast Fighting Arena, the Xue Family had set up a gigantic barrier.

The barrier was like a transparent sky curtain, completely covering the arena, making it difficult for anyone to escape easily.

The faint blue light flickered on it, slightly vibrating with the Monster Beasts’ roars, as if reminding everyone that this was a life-and-death challenge.

Xue Zhao stood on one side of the arena, her sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.

Her figure appeared particularly upright in the darkness, with white clothing shimmering with a cold light.

In this match, she had to be careful.

Xue Wei might use some underhanded tactics.

On the other side, Xue Wei was also preparing.

His face was gloomy, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

He knew the importance of this match to him; if he failed, he would lose everything.

Xue Wei clenched his weapon tightly, his gaze fixed on the Monster Beasts inside the iron gate, wondering what sinister ideas might come to his mind.

The atmosphere inside the arena grew increasingly tense, with the roars of the Monster Beasts becoming more piercing, as if ready to pounce on the two at any moment.

Around them, the audience held their breaths, their eyes glued to every movement inside the arena.

Their faces were filled with anticipation, terrified of missing any exciting moment.

Suddenly, a gigantic Monster Beast lunged at the iron gate, producing a deafening sound.

The iron gate clattered loudly from the impact.

As the spectators outside the arena witnessed this, they exclaimed in shock.

"Oh my God, that Monster Beast is so terrifying! Will they escape and attack us?" a young person said in fear.

"And that one over there, its scales are as thick as an iron plate, and the flames it spews are so intense—how can they deal with these creatures?" a middle-aged man shook his head in worry.

"This isn’t just a test of strength; it’s also about strategy and luck," another person sighed heavily.

In the crowd, Xiao Xiao watched the arena nervously, her hands clenched into fists.

Although knowing Xue Zhao’s strength, she was still worried for Xue Zhao facing such terrifying Monster Beasts.

She took a deep breath and shouted, "Xue Zhao, go for it! You can do it!"

Her voice reverberated inside and outside the arena, as if injecting new strength into Xue Zhao.

Upon hearing Xiao Xiao’s shout, Xue Zhao glanced back, nodding slightly with a determined smile on her face.

Hearing their words, Xue Wei snorted coldly.

The audience’s eyes remained glued to the arena, with discussions rising and falling.

"Today’s match is truly spectacular, even better than yesterday’s."

"I should have brought all my fellow disciples to watch; when these two experts appear, we can definitely learn a lot!"

"This match is so thrilling; hopefully, both of them can escape safely."

As everyone was engaged in conversation, the Monster Beasts inside the arena roared deafeningly once more, their massive bodies striking against the iron gate, producing ear-piercing metal friction sounds.

The Family Head stood on the high platform, his sharp eyes sweeping across the entire scene.

He slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down before loudly announcing, "Now, the second round of the competition officially begins!"

With the Family Head’s words, the giant iron gate inside the arena began to slowly open.

The friction sound of the gate was remarkably jarring in the silent arena, adding an oppressive atmosphere to the upcoming match.

Behind the iron gate, the dark passage could be vaguely seen, and the low roars of Monster Beasts from the depths sent chills down one’s spine.

Xue Zhao and Xue Wei stood in front of the iron gate, exchanging glances, each seeing disdain for the other in their eyes.

They both snorted coldly before turning around, moving towards their respective regions.

Xue Zhao walked with firm steadiness, a resolute gleam in her eyes.

If she could emerge first today.

That would mean she won.

So today, full effort must be given!

Xue Wei remained expressionless, his thoughts unknown.

The audience’s eyes followed tightly, their tension almost suffocating.

After the iron gate fully opened, the two stepped into their respective regions almost simultaneously.

The iron gate closed heavily behind them, isolating them from the external light, leaving only a dim passage and unknown challenges ahead.

The atmosphere inside the arena instantly grew even more tense.

The Monster Beasts within the surrounding fences seemed to sense prey approaching, letting out angry roars, their massive bodies continually striking the narrow space, the iron gate trembling as if it could be torn apart at any moment.

After Xue Zhao and Xue Wei entered their regions, the atmosphere in the arena became even more intense.

Surrounding spectators held their breath, eyes fixed inside, unwilling to miss any detail.

At this moment, the iron cage holding the Monster Beasts began to slowly rise.

The cage emitted heavy metal friction sounds, like a giant beast slowly awakening.

Accompanied by the rising cage, the Monster Beasts inside gradually revealed their hideous and horrifying forms.

First, in Xue Zhao’s region, the cage completely rose, and a gigantic Ice Wolf burst out roaring.

The Ice Wolf was covered entirely in gleaming Ice Armor, its eyes like red flames, flickering with anger and rage.

Its claws were extremely sharp, carving deep marks into the ground with each grasp.

The Ice Wolf let out deafening roars, chilling air instantly filling the region, sharply dropping the temperature, even causing a thin frost to form on the ground.

Xue Zhao took a deep breath, quickly adjusting her breathing, gripping her weapon tightly, and calmly watching every move of the Ice Wolf.

This Ice Wolf before her was not an enemy to be taken lightly, every step must be cautious and meticulous.

On the other side, in Xue Wei’s region, the cage was also slowly rising.

A gigantic Flame Giant Lizard crawled out of the cage gradually. Its body was covered with fiery red scales, each seeming to burn with blazing flames.

Its eyes were like two fiery lavas, glaring at Xue Wei with bloodthirsty fierceness, seemingly ready to rip Xue Wei to pieces the next second.

"Xue Zhao, you would never imagine that I have other ways of dealing with these things; I’m sure I’ll win today’s match!"

Xue Wei coldly laughed at the thing before him, seemingly very confident about today’s match.
