Chapter 208: The True Protagonist Appears
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Both players have already entered, and they both have very serious looks, with no intention of exchanging words. This clearly shows that they acknowledged their opponent's strength, and they highly value the coming competition! Now, let us wait and see the two Powerhouses' amazing performance. Let the competition begin!"

What the host said was correct, the two people really valued the competition, but what exactly they valued in it was different.

The sackclothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor from Guifang Country, made the most comprehensive preparations for this competition. The reputation he needed to move a step up in the world rested on this match.

In his thoughts, it was in fact extremely difficult as his opponent was the renowned Vigilante A. The number of opponents that could escape from his grasp could be counted on one hand. Several secret channels were all circulating news about his battle records.

The Lord of Seven Emotions, the Elite Nightmare Demon, Insect Demons, the number one melee Powerhouse in the world Anderson, the number one defense in the world Demon Turtle N'gun, the incarnated God of Destruction King Cobra Shaz… These outstanding demons, each with strong potential and horrifying strength, had all but fallen into his hands one by one.

The only people who fought against him and even managed to escape was the Bai Elder Ancestor and his trusted follower Bai Shixin. The latter was also beaten to a pulp, and has been in bad shape recently.

Therefore, even if his opponent had his soul seriously injured, this sack-clothed old man, the Wise Grand Tutor, had already made full preparations to be able to shout surrender at any time, and it was the kind that could be triggered automatically.

Sir System also valued this, as this would determine whether he could fight in more qualifiers. To rack up more cash, it was very important for him to play this show…

This would be more difficult than the last fight. Since the System grew stronger again, it would need to act powerless due to serious injury dealt to the soul, which would certainly be a bit hard.

With the host's announcement, the competition had officially begun.

The big screen displayed the sack-clothed old man's calm face. As Vigilante A's first sword energy beam landed on his body, his figure trembled, a blood red ray flashed across his body.

Afterward, his clothes were slightly ripped open. From the exposed skin at his chest region, there were lines of blood-colored tattoos forming a crisscross pattern, just like some kind of formation tattooed on his body, it turned out that he had already reinforced his body with defenses.

After he managed to block Vigilante A's first swipe, he seemingly felt relieved, and regained his confidence.

As he pointed out his index finger and started drawing in the air, a complicated and bloody pattern formed instantaneously, then a blood energy charged towards Vigilante A.

Vigilante A immediately evaded, but any person with discerning eyes could see clearly that Vigilante A was seemingly troubled by his soul injury. He seemed to have lost his usual rapid speed while evading, and had a faint sense of incoordination.

Some people were very worried, whereas the potential opponents from China had peace of mind, as if everything was going exactly as they expected, each of them ready to watch a great show.

As the competition progressed, the situation became more distinct. Vigilante A's attacks were harmless, regardless if it were the long-ranged sword beams or the close-ranged fists and palms. They were all helpless against the sack-clothed old man's tattoo defense.

The opponent's blood energy attacks were getting more and more powerful. It seemed that as time passed, the power and speed in the attacks started to multiply.

Every time Vigilante A barely avoided the blood energy, it would lead to a burst of exclamation from the audience on the big screen.

"How did this happen?"

"The Dragon God doesn't seem too well?"

These spectators who made various exclamations due to fear naturally came from the large stadium outside the arena.

Apart from a portion who were from China, the loudest and the most concerned ones were a group of ladies in the center of the stadium.

These beautiful women had different looks and different nationalities, but all wore delicate makeup and high-end fashion clothes. Each of them looked incredibly beautiful.

They held an Azure Dragon sign in their right hands and wore a pair of dragon horns on their heads. They screamed at the top of their lungs to cheer for Vigilante A, looking like The Eastern Dragon God's fan club.

Around these beautiful women was a group of young men holding the same sign, and further outward was a group of middle-aged people, some carrying their children, and there were the elderly too… The layers were clearly defined. It did not matter if they were old or young, they were all captured in the same net.

There would definitely be something wrong with the Heavenly principles if someone as handsome as Vigilante A, someone who served justice with an aura of righteousness as well as possessing strong martial arts, was bad at attracting fans

"Haven't you heard? The Dragon God had been vanquishing numerous monsters and already suffers from serious injuries, yet he was still forced to fight this time," the well-informed people took the initiative to explain.

"How despicable, for that ugly old man to take advantage of his condition!" one woman said as she stomped her foot.

"Exactly. This is the Dark Tournament Arena, surely they are worried that if the Dragon God recovers from his injury, the match would be easy, so they hastily conducted the competition today…"

It was not good to let the fans worry so much, but the System was also having a hard time too. In order for a genius to pretend to be an underachiever, it was not enough to just answer fewer questions… he had to not do many more things as well.

The System was trying hard to act, and the fans were filled with anxiety. Some people smirked at Vigilante A's discomfort, but only a certain guy was watching the play…

"Anderson, what is the origin of this Wise Grand Tutor? That blood energy is certainly not nice to deal with," Fang Ning watched the fight and felt unbearable being trapped, so he started talking to Anderson who was also watching the competition beside him.

He felt slightly regrettable. Since he was in his soul condition, he was unable to eat snacks. Maybe he should trick the System into making some tasty Vitality Pills in the future. He could use the excuse of training to take the medication...

Anderson said, "Replying to Your Excellency, there are records of Wise Grand Tutor in the Balance Association's database. His original name is Agoura, this host said that he had acquired a prophecy, but in fact, he is possessed by a Descended One of the Upper Realm. However, his mental resilience was strong enough, and managed to defeat the Descended One of the Upper Realm using his advantage as the main host.

"From the memory remnants of the Descended One, he found a method to quickly gain power through blood sacrifices. We always try our best to record down these people who have the potential to trigger large-scale wars, and this person is a main target to focus on."

Combined with Anderson's professional explanation, Fang Ning was naturally invigorated as he watched the fight.

Time lapsed unconsciously, the two battled back and forth, and approximately one hour had passed. Vigilante A looked shaky and unsteady… but he was still standing.

Whereas that Wise Grand Tutor was not worried, and only dealt with him patiently.

The confidence on his face gradually increased, his maneuvers were sharper and fiercer, with more changes as well.

Vigilante A was obviously giving him a sense that he was fatigued and treading water, but his momentum was kept high, which made it seem like he could kill the enemy in one fell swoop at any time he chose…

Just as Fang Ning was fascinated by the fight, sir System suddenly spoke to him, "I can't do this, Mr. Multi-Millionaire, I can't act anymore, I really feel like killing this annoying jackrabbit … this is just a waste of time, really boring."

Fang Ning was speechless, "Sir, think about those colorful green banknotes… Are you in the mood again?"

The System, "Hm, I'm in the mood now... but my chivalrous virtue seems like it's going to drop any moment. Since this is a bad guy, I do not intend to let him go, and I'll definitely kill him using my Dragon Fist."

Fang Ning became nervous after hearing so, and no longer had the mood to watch. How did this happen?

It was important to note that the chivalrous virtue never seemed to work before, and it basically never appeared in the System Notifications as well, but it was the foundation of the System's existence. If it said that there was a change happening, Fang Ning always took it extremely seriously.

After he thought about it carefully and observed through the System View, he realized a problem.

Fang Ning furrowed his brows, "Damn it, I understand where the problem is… teasing this guy doesn't matter, it's fooling all these innocent spectators that's the catch. Everyone's paid a huge sum to enter, our appearance fee came from them. However, now we're making them worried, this is not virtuous at all. It isn't like the last time when we duped the green insect. That group of passers-by were watching the show for free, so we had no obligation to them."

The System, "Then what should I do? I faked the last fight too, but nothing happened?"

Fang Ning was speechless, "N'gun died too quickly last time, of course nothing happened. Besides, you were not exaggerating like right now… I can only say that you have acted too much."

The System, "Oh, I've a great idea. It's going to save time and there would also be no risk of reducing my chivalrous virtue."

[The System is evaluating...]

[The System is evaluating...]

[The System decided to temporarily terminate takeover mode.]

Fang Ning felt uneasy after seeing that. Every time this idiot had an idea, the one who suffered was always himself...

He quickly asked, "What are you doing? Quickly continue seizing my body and perform, I think that you just need to work on that one."

The System continued "… Vigilante A's soul is injured seriously, and needs to sleep for a while, so it is the Host's turn. You're not restricted by my chivalrous virtue, so you can perform all you want, just make sure not to do anything heinous."

"Wha… what? You want me, with my tiny arms and legs, to fight against a villain?" Fang Ning turned pale with fear, and started to stutter, "The precious game book told me to not enter the battlefield, it probably wouldn't falsify big things like this."

The System, "Don't listen to that stupid book, I've already thought about it… You just need to wear my legendary armor. It has complete defense, and his attack power can't touch you at all. Then you just need to use Vigilante's Flying Book against him. I will change back when time is almost up. Don't worry, I will pull strings to protect Mr. Multi-Millionaire all the way. Once there is danger, I will immediately come to the rescue."

'Goddammit. In the end, the one suffering is still me.'

Fang Ning immediately puzzled himself to look for excuses, and he frighteningly asked, "Aren't worried that others might notice our abnormalities? Some people would definitely sense the difference between us before and after…"

The System's tone was firm, "I've already grown out of puberty, what are you afraid of? Vigilante A has always been switched back and forth between you and me. People would have noticed it long ago. That Bodhisattva Spirit King was the same. As long as we are strong, no one would dare to gossip."

Fang Ning said, "You're making me take the lead, but will you be willing to borrow me money in the future?"

The System said, "If you don't perform well in this competition, I will have much less income…"

Fang Ning could not find any more excuses, and could only resign himself to his fate. He said with a low spirit, "Alright. It'll be good practice for me. In the future, I will summon the Celestial Dragon, so this can be getting familiar with the battlefield beforehand."

He said those words, but a dreariness still emerged in his mind. It seems his days of leisurely watching the battle from the sidelines are never coming back...

The System was pleased, "As expected of a multi-millionaire. As always, you look at the big picture. You have foresight. Don't worry, you'll have your share of the appearance fee. After all, I am a fair System. Ah, right. I felt that Mr. Multi-Millionaire's emotions are a little desolate, so I took the liberty of playing some music that suits the occasion to lift your spirits... "

As such, among the countless big screens in the stadium, a passionate yet dreary background music suddenly started to play in succession.

The sound of a lute reverberated across the stadium. The four hundred thousand people in the stadium suddenly quietened down. All sorts of whispers instantly dissipated, birthing a pin-drop silence.

The lute was a traditional stringed instrument from ancient China. It was shaped like a Qin, had thirty strings, and under each string were the frets. Before Jing Ke assassinated the Qin Emperor, Gao Jianli played the lute, while Jing Ke sang and played the accompaniment. 1

The current background music playing was 'Yi River Song'.

"The wind blows, the river freezes. The hero fords, never to return!"

Along with the song, the minds of the audience were immediately shrouded with a desolate sense. Like the first autumn wind, the Yi River was cold and frigid. Heaven and Earth were gloomy and downcast, and heroes draw the curtain.

Then, they saw Vigilante A's expression change through the screen. His movements suddenly became slower, as if he completely became a different person.

Previously, although Vigilante A was shaky and unsteady, he still had an all-conquering aura, which let people believe in him. However, right now all of that seemed to have completely disappeared. Several people immediately found tears in their eyes.

Fang Ning regained control over his own body, and said helplessly, "Sir, what you chose really suit the occasion… Your aesthetic standards are indeed far beyond a regular person's."
