ACSP: Chapter 92: One-Look Kill, the Strongest Illusion-Type Contractor!
[Stage 2 Mission: Martial Arts Arena]
[Mission Hint: Two people will be randomly selected to compete on stage. The winner stays to continue participating in the next stage of the competition, while the loser returns to the spectator stand. The last person remaining on the arena will achieve final victory, and the entire team will receive corresponding rewards!]
[Mission Hint: For every match won, the winner can randomly receive an Experience Point reward!]
[Secret Realm Reminder: Those who die in the arena will immediately leave the secret realm space and will be unable to receive the corresponding rewards after the team's victory!]
[Secret Realm Reminder: Contestants who are not selected cannot enter the arena; those who force their way in will be immediately removed from the secret realm space!]
The mission rules for this second stage of the secret realm were just a standard arena competition. Simple and brutal. There was nothing worth noting.
However, the mission rewards were quite good. Winning once granted an Experience Point reward. The final winner could also get a grand prize, and even the people on the same team could receive corresponding rewards.
On the side of the Zhao Family team.
"The second stage mission has finally started. I've been holding back the whole way; this time, I can finally show off my skills!"
"Yeah, everyone we encountered on the road was dealt with by Brother Shui using illusions; we didn't even have a chance to make a move."
"Strange, why haven't we encountered a team from Japan this time? Could it be that they don't have a team participating in this secret realm?"
"If they didn't come, they didn't come. Isn't there still a Super Shadow Contractor here? I want to know right now just how big the gap is between a Jonin Contractor like me and a Super Shadow Contractor."
"By the way, Zhao Jie, if I end up facing that Jiang Chen later, you have to record a video for me. If I win, you post the video online."
"And if you lose?"
"Then you delete the video immediately, and don't forget to clear the cloud backup..."
"Damn, you're really cunning!"
The members of the Zhao Family were all locking their gazes on Jiang Chen at this moment.
As a hidden Super Shadow Contractor, Jiang Chen's fame in the Great Xia Kingdom was currently at its peak.
No. To be precise, his reputation had probably spread all over the world by now.
After all, before him, there were only two publicly known Super Shadow Contractors in the world. He was the third.
If one could defeat him, then the person who defeated him would definitely become world-famous!
"You are not his opponent..."
However, just as Zhao Bin and the others were rubbing their hands, preparing to use Jiang Chen to make a name for themselves, Zhao Shui suddenly spoke up and said this.
Hearing this, the others from the Zhao Family were immediately displeased.
Zhao Bin said with a displeased face: "Brother Shui, don't underestimate us, okay? No matter what, we are also elites of the Zhao Family who have awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
"Exactly, we haven't even fought yet, how can you say we aren't his opponents? Although that Jiang Chen is powerful, battles between Contractors sometimes depend not only on hardware strength but also on tactics and combat experience."
"I'm telling you, Brother Shui, you can't boost the morale of others while undermining our own; in your eyes, are we really that bad?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we lose. Anyway, even if we die here, it's just a forced departure from the secret realm. At worst, we just won't get the final team reward."
"Don't say that. If you can't beat him, just concede. With Brother Shui here, the final victory will definitely be ours. It's free to take the team reward, why go against the secret realm rewards?"
Others chimed in, all with light smiles on their faces, clearly not taking Zhao Shui's words to heart.
Zhao Shui didn't pay any attention to them. He had already delivered his advice. As for whether these people would listen, that was not something he could decide.
Meanwhile, on the side of the Eagle Country team.
A blonde girl wearing tight leather pants and dressed in a flashy manner was also examining Jiang Chen with great interest at this moment.
"Edward, did you see that guy carrying a big sword? If I'm not mistaken, he should be the Super Shadow Contractor who has been very famous on the internet recently!"
"Hmm, it is indeed that kid. It seems the quality of the opponents in this secret realm is very high."
Standing beside the blonde girl was a young man who looked very much like the male lead of 'Twilight'. He was the captain of this secret realm team, and the Ninja he had contracted was also a Shadow-level one.
He was also a somewhat famous figure over in Eagle Country.
"The White House has a very high evaluation of this guy, but it's hard to judge whether he is really a Super Shadow Contractor right now. Since we've encountered him this time, we can just test his strength to see if he has reached the Super-Kage Level!"
The blonde girl spoke again.
Edward nodded silently upon hearing this.
Currently, there were two known Super Shadow Contractors in the world: one within the Great Xia Kingdom, and the other in their Eagle Country.
Because the strength of a Super Shadow Contractor was too heaven-defying, they could easily destroy a city after reaching the max level.
Therefore, in the current global combat power ranking, the Great Xia Kingdom and Eagle Country had always been at the same level.
But if this guy named 'Jiang Chen' was really a hidden Super Shadow Contractor as rumored online, then the recognized global combat power ranking would inevitably change.
This was also the main reason why the White House in Eagle Country attached such great importance to this matter.
On the side of the Korea team, at this moment, Captain Park Guochang was also carefully examining the other three secret realm teams.
"Damn it, there are only three teams that entered the second stage of the Secret Realm. It looks like we have a great chance of getting the ultimate prize!"
Upon hearing Park Guk-chang's words, the others in the team also revealed smiles of baffling confidence.
"Great, it seems the Goddess of Luck is still on our side."
"Isn't that obvious? We are currently the country with the largest territory in the world. If the Goddess of Luck isn't on our side, where else would she go?"
"Oppa is right. Although this is the New Dimension Era, isn't it also an opportunity for us to dominate the world? Just watch, in time, our Korean nation will definitely sweep across the globe and become number one in the world!"
...
[Arena Match 1: Zhao Shui (Great Xia Kingdom) VS Park Guk-chang (Korea)]
[The selected contestants must enter the arena within 10 seconds, otherwise it will be considered a forfeit!]
Just as all the teams were preparing,
two lines of information suddenly appeared on the arena stage.
"Whoa! I didn't expect to be in the first match. I'll just go ahead and take the first win!"
Park Guk-chang leaped, jumping into the arena with excitement.
And the moment he landed,
Zhao Shui's figure appeared opposite him like a ghost, and a pair of bewitching blood-colored pupils slowly lifted.
Such speed.
Park Guk-chang was startled, and his gaze became serious.
However, in the next second,
he discovered that the scenery around him had changed without him knowing.
He had left the Secret Realm and arrived in a strange place.
Then, all sorts of terrifying scenes began to appear one after another.
Those he had killed in the past, as well as his deceased relatives, were now crawling out of the ground one by one, pouncing on him like zombies...
"Ah——"
On the arena, Park Guk-chang clutched his head and screamed.
Then he collapsed.
He lost consciousness on the spot.
