Apart from the parties involved, no one knows about Raven's plan to reap souls.

  In the imperial capital of Mosha, everything about the martial arts conference is proceeding in an orderly manner.

  Originally, only the seven major empires had three direct seed quotas for each country to advance to the top 32. Due to Raven's unexpected feat of defeating a thousand troops, he was unexpectedly seeded and directly advanced to the round of 32 knockout stage.

  Due to Raven, excluding seeds, there were only over 800 participants in the Silver tier competition. The main tournament started with 64 players, so it became a fierce competition for those 800+ players to grab one of the remaining 42 spots, averaging about 20 people competing for one spot.

  For the big shots, the first stage of the White Silver Stage is just an appetizer and won't have too many thoughts. All non-seed players (including those from major empires who did not get seed status, official players from various kingdoms, and civilian players with wild cards) were simply divided into 42 arenas after simple grouping, using indiscriminate melee to conduct the final screening.

  No matter how good your luck is or how strong you are, the only one who can still stand in each game is the 64th.

  These two days, Raven has been discussing something with Laila and Red Knight, actually unintentionally cold-shouldering Alfa*Yang and Renliu Te and the others.

  They wouldn't mind, in their eyes, Raven is absolutely a big shot now. Even if Raven doesn't have a prominent family background and his strength is only at the White Silver level, that dazzling God-given Earl title can't be faked. Raven's close relationship with several gods also falls into their eyes, if a high-ranking noble comes out, they might not recognize him. The powerful mysterious aura of the gods is truly something that even a blind person can feel.

  Unintentionally, they grew more and more in awe of Raven.

  Just before the final screening of the White Silver Stage began, Karin gathered them all together.

  Today, a crimson Phoenix Warrior dress that would only be worn on grand occasions, Karin slammed her palm onto the schedule chart, producing a loud "BANG" sound, which effectively caught Alfa and the others' attention.

  "Listen up, you lot!" Karin's voice rang out clear and loud. "As a viscount appointed by the gods, even the king addresses me as 'Your Lordship'. Now, take a good look at your weapons, take a gander at your armor, and take a close look at your participant numbers... What do you think your master, Raven Cloudfield, thinks of you!?"

  "Great!"

  "Wynfield's master is awesome!"

  "Thanks for the master's gift!"

  These seven or eight guys were all from humble origins, fighting in the arena every day, praying for a chance to rise up. Outsiders may not understand their fervor, but that long-awaited opportunity finally arrived, and everyone understands that feeling.

  Especially Alpha, he looked at the brand new heavy armor on his body, and for these few days, every minute and every second felt like a dream. For a moment, his breathing became urgent.

  "Alright! His Highness has shown you his generosity. Now, it's your turn to show yourselves and prove that you're worthy of His Highness' investment! I'm asking on behalf of His Highness: kill your way through the qualifiers and at least make it into the top 32!" Carlin raised her fist high in the air.

  "What if we run into the master? Are we going to surrender directly?" Lunt said with a wry smile.

  "Surrender?" Karin's eyes flashed: "What a joke! Are you underestimating your master? Raven joined the Divine War at 15 and emerged victorious, standing before you as a legendary miracle. He is a living legend, destined to become a god in the future! If we must clash, then let us go all out! Show your own worth! Prove that you're not just material for village guardians!"

  Mingming Kailin is a girl, so logically speaking, her words shouldn't be very persuasive.

  She is the strongest warrior who can possess the Phoenix Dance Warrior Princess.

  Secondly, her strong self-confidence in speech infected this group of people.

  Third, and most crucially, Raven's actual achievements. There are some things that this group of people can't investigate. But there are quite a few that can be 100% confirmed, such as the Black Scourge War, the Shrike Event, and the fall of Gargas.

  Especially the fall of the evil demon of Coolie is confirmed by the Justice God Church Alliance. And later, Raven's legend of defeat also indirectly proved this point.

  Unbeknownst to them, this group of people began to increasingly acknowledge Raven.

  There is also a premise that Raven needs to prove himself not only as an advisor but also as a hero with both wisdom and bravery, or a heroic villain!

  Longing to prove themselves, it's not just them, nor is it just Raven.

  Bai Mao, this half-beastman had actually been holding in a belly full of anger. In the eyes of countless bystanders, he was the Stormwalker, the very embodiment of strength.

  Unfortunately, Raven's weakest opponent was also a legendary strongman, which made Bai Mao unable to show off his skills.

  Sometimes Bai Mao also thinks: Is it that this world is too crazy or am I just not working hard enough?

  Anyway, this time in the screening match, Baimao decided to go all out with his firepower.

  This is the branch venue, three hundred and sixty-five days a year except for individual important days, this place has always been an arena. Whether it's barbarians tearing monsters apart or alien creatures devouring fleeing human warriors, they can all be seen here, so the audience seats in the venue are always full.

  Today is no exception.

  As a warm-up for the martial arts competition, today is one of the rare occasions where no tickets are required. Due to the open admission, the venue which was originally designed to hold 20,000 people was packed with 50,000 people.

  Even before the game started, the frenzied atmosphere had already infected every player on the court.

  "Take him down! Take him down!"

  "Kill them all! Kill every single one of them!"

  "Hey big guy with white hair, we've got our eyes on you!"

  In a circular arena with a diameter of fifty meters, the contestants seemed to be standing scattered, but in fact they had quietly formed a circle around Bai Mao.

  After all, the name Storm Chaser is too fierce and too powerful.

  The Storm God Taros and his series of gods under him have the title of 'Fierce Gods'. That kind of unreasonable ferocity has really gone deep into people's hearts.

  In a free-for-all, there is one paramount rule: if someone emerges who is stronger than all the other participants combined, then he must be taken down first; otherwise, no one else stands a chance of winning.

  However, Baishou didn't care.

  Learning from Lei Wen's literature, Bai Mao suddenly shouted: "You bunch of rubbish also want to capture me, White Hair? Go back home and dream about it!"

  As soon as the game started, a dazzling deep blue lightning bolt suddenly shot out from between the two bear paws, emitting an intense electric glow that made people's hearts palpitate with its "crackling" sound. Before his opponent even had a chance to react, Bell had already swung out with one palm.

  In an instant, a dazzling flash of lightning shot towards the shield warrior in front. The guy was also unlucky, as the grouping was random, and it was impossible to expect that a white silver level shield equipment would have anti-lightning properties.

  So his armor became the best conductor instead.

  "Ah—" He let out half a mournful cry before turning into a pile of charcoal.

  Not even a delay of 0.5 seconds, lightning quickly and randomly refracted to another opponent within ten meters. The first three opponents died instantly, and the last five were linked by electricity, suffering varying degrees of electric shock damage.

  The other contestants panicked. Although the martial arts meeting does not allow killing in principle, those who were killed with one blow are not within this range. Several guys who didn't prepare for a life-and-death struggle were even so scared that their weapons fell to the ground.

  "Up! Otherwise we'll all die!"

  "Right! He can't make another move in a short period of time."

  Before he could finish speaking, a second attack came. This time two were electrocuted and three injured.

  Chain Lightning Special

  This is not magic in the strictest sense. It's just a special skill of Stormwalkers. Under the divine guidance of Talos, the Storm God, Belle briefly connected with the Storm Plane. For a period of time, she can almost endlessly draw out the power of lightning from the Storm Plane.

  Other contestants were unfamiliar with Storm Chaser and fell for it directly.

  No one had expected that after two moves, Bai Er directly knocked down half of the people.

  However, the remaining people had already rushed to Bell's side.

  "Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!!" The furious bear claws danced in mid-air, this was the Thunderous version of Musou Rendan, not a single participant could see Bell's movements.

  The worst was when the first one rushed up, completely ignoring the 1 cm thick iron frame, and slapped its chest with a slap, revealing five deep scars that could be seen to the bone. The guy was hit by two intersecting claws, and his chest, which was originally full of developed muscles, was made to look like a well-done steak by the white fur, and it even emitted a strong smell of char.

  Belle doesn't care about that.

  I don't care if you're the son of a father, the darling of parents, or the lover of someone, but when it comes to grouping, no one is on your side, so Bell just lets go and fights wildly.

  No technique, only speed and ferocity.

  Regardless of east, west, south, or north, they directly grab people based on their shadows.

  With the addition of lightning's splashing, in less than ten seconds, the world was quiet again.

  The audience on the platform was also silent.

  The emcee quickly regained his composure, using magic to amplify his voice throughout the venue: "Oooooh! The winner of the first match has been born! He is... Half-bear Bell from the Kingdom of Gorreinpais!"

  "Wow—"

  "Wow, you're amazing! I want to have a bear child for you!"

  The audience who came back to their senses let out all sorts of screams. For a moment, Bai Mao was also stunned, and soon a silly smile appeared on his face: "This, my elder brother is even more powerful than me."

  Yes, this sentence also echoed throughout the venue.

  "Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter.

  At the same time, in Area 3, Alpha calmly and steadily took down enemy after enemy. His fighting style wasn't as flashy as Bell's, but it made up for it with its reliability.

  At first, his black full-body armor was eye-catching but not dazzling. As soon as the fight began, his opponent regretted it.

  This is not armor, it's clearly an iron turtle shell!

  Weapons with a silver rank of +1 or lower are completely ineffective against Alfa's armor, and will simply bounce off. Blunt attacks also have little effect. This armor is imbued with the power of the mountain, causing all shock from blunt impacts to be perfectly transmitted into the earth beneath his feet.

  What's even more outrageous is that it also comes with the solidified 【Lightfoot Technique】, and Alfa's movement speed isn't much slower than those of the wanderers.

  The Great Fray is timed, and after thirty minutes, the person who has defeated the most opponents is declared the winner.

  Alfa Yang killed 7 people and defeated 9 people to get a qualifying spot.

  The same scene also occurred in several other screening venues. The organizer, the Mocha Empire, was foolish enough to discover that something was wrong. In the 64-strong competition, the participants from Guolian Paise occupied a full ten places.
