413: only child

"What! Another dark horse?"

"For real or fake!?"

Voices like these rippled through the audience, filled with both skepticism and excitement.

The skeptics believed this was just spreading false rumors to stir up hype; after all, such things had happened in previous tournaments. Since there was no explicit ban, there was nothing that could be done, though very few people did this nowadays.

The excited ones felt as if they had personally toppled the powerful.

A dark horse is called a dark horse precisely because they rarely appear. The defeat of the Prophets Student made everyone full of anticipation for this Heroes Assembly.

"For real!" several voices replied decisively.

They seemed to have just come over from Ring 108.

"The one who defeated the Charon Civilization is the Card Civilization from the Golden Body Territory. It seems they produced a super Genius this year!"

"If you are interested, you can go watch the subsequent matches of this Card Civilization. He is at Ring 108, his name is [Misaya], and he is number 53."

"Misaya of the Card Civilization?"

Chen Du, who was preparing to move to Ring 111, murmured.

In this kind of competition, anyone who can be called by name by the crowd belongs to the ranks of experts.

If Chen Du remembered correctly, this Card Civilization had once won the championship, but they hadn't produced any truly stunning super Geniuses since then.

However, it was still a very strong civilization. In every Heroes Assembly, they could basically make it onto the top ten list, occasionally the top one hundred, and never the top one thousand.

Furthermore, the Golden Body Territory was not one of the five strongest territories, so achieving such results could be considered very excellent.

The defeat of another Prophets Student, although surprising to Chen Du, did not make him pause for long.

This information only delayed Chen Du for a few seconds.

Immediately, Chen Du continued to move toward Ring 111 according to his plan.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be invincible; even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. These things were engraved in Chen Du's genes.

Perhaps because of being a Small Civilization, the educational philosophy of the High Martial Civilization since childhood was that one must not capsize the boat.

Because capsizing the boat would infinitely expand your losses, and the accumulation of a Small Civilization did not allow such things to happen.

Although an individual cannot affect the entire civilization, countless individuals can, so this cautious and serious attitude was indispensable.

On the way there, Chen Du organized the current match information in his mind.

In the Heroes Assembly, normally speaking, the strongest contestants were the Prophets Student; this had been an established fact since the beginning of this competition.

At Ring 115, number 456, Chen Du, had "eliminated" number 1 from the Huangtian Civilization of the Severed Ancient Territory, who was also hailed as the strongest Prophets Student.

At Ring 113, contestant 118, Qing Ti from the Withered Tree Civilization, had eliminated number 7 from the Ice Vine Civilization of the Glacier Territory.

Finally, there was the Card Civilization that had once won the championship; they must have produced a super newcomer this year, Misaya.

At Ring 108, using the identity of number 53, he had eliminated number 15 from the Charon Civilization of the Looking-Through Territory.

Qing Ti of the Withered Tree Civilization, number 118.

Misaya of the Card Civilization, number 53.

Chen Du silently memorized these two names and numbers. These numbers would be used until the end of the competition, but Chen Du still recorded their names as well.

In this way, only 2 Prophets Student remained.

They were number 22 from the Liangyi Civilization of the Taiji Bahuang Territory.

And the one at Ring 111, where Chen Du was currently heading, which had number 5 from the Breaking Prohibition Civilization of the Ashen Land.

He didn't know if the match for this number 5 had ended or not. Statistically, it was likely over, but even if this match was over, there would still be the next one.

For the next round, Chen Du wouldn't need to go to Ring 113; he could go directly to Ring 111 after his own match ended, which would be much faster.

Before long, Chen Du arrived at Ring 111.

They say arriving early is not as good as arriving at the right time.

As soon as Chen Du arrived, he saw the battle between number 5 and number 203.

It hadn't ended yet!

However, it seemed close. He seemed to have missed the climax, and it was now in the closing stage.

Chen Du thought to himself, focusing his vision on the arena.

He saw a creature, its entire body covered in the ash of burnt joss paper, lying on the cold ground.

Its body was trembling slightly, as if struggling against some immense force; however, this was clearly a futile battle.

Observing carefully, one could see that the creature's body was extremely weak, and its legs seemed to have lost the strength to support it, unable to let it stand up again.

Each tremor seemed like the last struggle of its life.

Its opponent was a life form completely wrapped in black flames, appearing to be burning constantly.

Because the rules did not allow killing, he was currently standing to the side, breathing heavily to alleviate his exhaustion.

Soon, the referee, who was acting as a Warden, shook his head helplessly, stepped out to stand between the two, and announced the match result.

"The winner is contestant 203, [Brand] from the [Burned Out Civilization] of the Beacon Fire Territory!"

"What!"

"Another Prophets Student has lost!"

"My god! Is this batch of Prophets Student defective? Never in any previous Heroes Assembly have 4 Prophets Student been eliminated before the top 10!"

An alien from one of the top five territories said indignantly. He hadn't come to watch comebacks; he had come to watch domination. This performance by the Prophets Student made him very uncomfortable.

"Is this really the Genius carefully cultivated by the prophets?"

"Is it possible that the remaining one will also be eliminated later?"

Many people in the audience were trolls, gloating at this moment.

"You're overthinking it. The match for the Liangyi Civilization of the Taiji Bahuang Territory has already been won. Now, only one sole seedling of the Prophets Student remains!"

The questions from the audience were like sharp knives piercing into the recently defeated number 5 from the Breaking Prohibition Civilization. However, what shocked him most was not his own failure, but that of his other four companions, only 1 remained after the eliminations!

Chen Du stood silently in a corner. Whether it was the defeated Prophets Student or the victorious Burned Out Civilization, neither interacted, and they left via another path from the ring.

The Burned Out Civilization was from the Beacon Fire Territory, which was also an ordinary territory. If Chen Du remembered correctly, the staff member who received him when he came to register was from the Iron Hammer Civilization of the Beacon Fire Territory.

At this moment, he felt a bit strange. The Prophets Student definitely belonged to the T0 level existence in this kind of competition; the occasional appearance of a dark horse was understandable.

But to have 4 of them taken out all at once was indeed a bit abnormal.

Moreover, those who took them out were not civilizations from the five strongest territories, but all from ordinary territories.

Furthermore, from the discussion in the audience, it could be known that these Prophets Student were all in full condition, and there was no situation of them entering the match exhausted or injured.

Chen Du didn't know how big the gap was between the five strongest territories and ordinary territories, but substituting two civilizations with a very small gap made it feel very incredible.

For example, if the High Martial Civilization sent out 5 Geniuses they had cultivated with full effort and defeated 4 Geniuses cultivated with full effort by a top-tier civilization.

Is this reasonable?

According to normal probability, such a thing should not happen.

Could it be that this Heroes Assembly just happened to be the one where the Underground Alien Race had the most flourishing talent?

Or was it...

Were they, like him, other aliens, or even disguised Surface Alien Race?
