Chapter 554: The Second Demon General
Tox's defeat left the entire audience in an uproar.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
He lost!
The opening battle ended in a loss just like that!
"Hahahahaha…"
From the other side of the stands came loud, raucous laughter.
That section was filled with followers of various evil organizations.
That's right…
The Demon Arrival Organization and other evil groups didn't want to leave the arena without any vocal support.
So all five evil organizations gathered their followers and brought them to Underworld God Island to cheer for their side.
This strategy,
proved surprisingly effective.
At the very least, their laughter was infuriating the ordinary spectators on the opposite side!
"Haha! So satisfying! Didn't your national armies say you'd crush our evil organizations? Why are you looking so pathetic now?"
"Right! Earlier, you were all bragging about beating us! And here you are, losing in the first match! Truly pathetic!"
"Tox? Just a worthless Free Federation loser, only popular because of hype!"
"Compared to our Demon Generals, he's nothing but a weakling!"
"Is this all you've got?"
"..."
Sarcastic jeers erupted from the mouths of these followers, their arrogant and mocking expressions utterly infuriating!
And there was nothing the others could do about it!
"Damn! I can't believe this. Is this all the Free Federation's got?"
"They claim to be a major power; what a disgrace!"
"Honestly, I shouldn't have believed in you guys…"
"Losing with Tox is bad enough; as long as the rest don't lose, it'll be fine..."
The followers' mockery also led some spectators to voice frustration at the Free Federation.
Members of the Free Federation's team all looked gloomy.
They hadn't expected Tox to truly die!
Despite his strength, he couldn't last even three minutes against the Seventh Demon General!
"It seems these evil organizations came well-prepared!"
"Their goal is clearly to eliminate all of us reservists!"
"We can't underestimate their strength; we have to take this seriously in the next rounds!"
A few generals couldn't help but offer reminders.
At that moment, the referee announced the next round.
"For the next match…"
"First, congratulations to the audience!"
"The next participant is the non-specialist wanderer you've all been waiting for! He's finally taking the stage!"
As these words fell,
Whoosh!!
The audience, whose expressions had been mixed, suddenly lit up with excitement, as if reenergized!
Waves of cheers erupted like tidal waves, surging through the venue!
"Ling Zhan! Ling Zhan!"
"Ling Zhan! Ling Zhan!"
The entire audience began chanting his name!
The referee was about to announce Ling Zhan's opponent, but the sheer enthusiasm of the crowd forced him to pause, waiting for the audience to calm down.
"This non-specialist wanderer… his fame worldwide has reached its peak, especially among the younger generation!"
"Most of these young people are in high school or university."
"He has undoubtedly become a role model and goal for young people worldwide!"
"But here's the problem..."
"The greater the expectations, the harsher the disappointment if he loses."
"If Ling Zhan fails in this fight, it won't just be his death; there will be countless unimaginable consequences!"
"Not to mention the impact on the younger generation—it will be enormous!"
"They might see Ling Zhan's defeat as a reason to lose faith in top academies and military groups, potentially turning instead toward these evil organizations."
An aide beside General Li analyzed in a somber tone.
The other generals fell silent.
Even General Li's expression grew more serious.
After all, these prodigies were now facing five ruthless evil organizations with no moral constraints!
And their strength was highly mysterious!
Take Tox, for example; everyone thought he would defeat the Seventh Demon General.
Yet, he ended up losing to him!
Those ranked above the Seventh Demon General must be even more terrifying!
"Alright, everyone, please quiet down!"
"I'll announce the non-specialist wanderer's opponent!"
"His opponent is none other than the Second Demon General of the Demon Arrival Organization!"
"Rumor has it that Ling Zhan has previously clashed with the Demon Arrival Organization many times, foiling several of their critical plans. He's undoubtedly one of the individuals they despise the most."
"Now he'll be facing their Second Demon General, which should be interesting!"
"It's a battle of nemeses!"
"Alright, let's cut the chatter. Once both contestants are ready, we'll begin immediately!"
The commentator eagerly announced.
This only stirred up further booing from the evil followers nearby.
"Damn! That's all ancient history; our Second Demon General will cut down Ling Zhan right here!"
"Just wait, Ling Zhan is doomed to lose!"
"I'll be thrilled if this Ling Zhan loses!"
"Nothing I enjoy more than watching this kind of face-slapping drama!"
"..."
In response to the evil followers' booing, the audience retorted without hesitation.
Amid this clamor, Ling Zhan and the Second Demon General slowly walked onto the stage.
Unlike the other hideous, grotesque Demon Generals,
the Second Demon General was a woman.
And a very beautiful one at that.
She wore a simple, casual dress, her long hair flowing, and her appearance was innocent and pure.
At first glance, she seemed like an ordinary beauty.
Yet none of the spectators dared to see her as a normal woman!
She was the Second Demon General of the Demon Arrival Organization!
A more terrifying existence than the Seventh Demon General!
Thinking of how the Seventh Demon General brutally killed Tox earlier, no one underestimated this woman!
Besides…
this woman couldn't possibly be normal!
To become the Second Demon General of the Demon Arrival Organization, she was far from ordinary!
Upon seeing Ling Zhan enter, the Second Demon General's eyes sparkled with deep fascination.
She smiled, saying, "Ling Zhan, I've heard your name countless times before, and I've always been curious about what kind of person you are. Now, I finally have the chance to meet you face-to-face."
