My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

The Transcendent holding his groin was trembling even more violently now.

Five minutes later.

The arena was cleaned up.

The two half-human centaur contestants for the first round's tenth match entered the stage.

But it was merely a formality.

Just after getting on stage, the slightly smaller Ka Xiu clan centaur announced his surrender.

The other two "horses" still stood on the arena, motionless.

As the audience's confused murmuring gradually grew louder.

The taller centaur raised the iron club in his hand and in unpracticed human language said, "Humans, despicable and weak. Only good at petty tricks. Later, the great 'FB[P (Ka Xiu clan)' will not hold back. Let the insects understand that true strength is 'IF.KIF.K (upright and honorable).' "

After speaking, it left the stage with its companion.

The audience didn't quite understand the few messy statements.

But it was clear enough that this centaur was challenging all of humanity.

After a brief silence.

Boos and curses rose intermittently from the audience.

Now and then, a few righteous onlookers fired their guns in anger.

"Hehehe."

The elder centaur Team Leader in the central VIP seats laughed, his smile full of contempt and disdain.

Sitting beside him, the Alliance superintendent just stroked his white beard, pretending to hear nothing.

"Such arrogance." In the prep area, a long-haired man with dark eyes coldly muttered as he glared at the two departing centaurs, "Let's not meet in the ring."

Hearing this, Chen Yu was startled and sized up the long-haired man.

The man, though somewhat perverted and attention-seeking,

indeed had a resolute character.

"What did you say?" The Ka Xiu clan centaur, also a Transcendent, had naturally better hearing and turned to look at the long-haired man, "Say it again?"

"Nothing to be scared of saying." The long-haired man puffed out his chest and stepped forward, and to everyone's shock, intentionally repeated in the Ka Xiu clan's language, ", [YUF.LT]... (Don't let me encounter you, which means, I don't want to encounter you.)"

"Hmph." The centaur sneered and ignored him further.

The other human Transcendents around regarded the long-haired man with admiration.

Unafraid of powerful enemies, defending their own race.

Worthy of being the number one of Alliance Academy, honed over five years...

"Bro, you're pretty tough," Chen Yu walked over, patting the long-haired man's shoulder in admiration, "Seems like you, are worthy of my underwear."

"Of course." The long-haired man remained indifferent and flicked his bangs.

...

The arena competition's first round ended.

Under the live broadcast of the largest circular screen, the chief examiner flew back to the prep area and after a deep glance at the two centaurs, said to all the contestants, "According to the rules of previous years, the second round will now be a challenge format. And according to the last round's advancement, it will be split into groups A and B."

"Group A will consist of all those who advanced to the top ten, competing for rankings from first to tenth."

"Group B will consist of all those who did not advance, competing for rankings from eleventh to twentieth."

"Now for the rules."

At that momentary pause, the chief examiner scanned the crowd and pulled out five black beads with his right hand, showing them to everyone.

Every candidate, including Chen Yu and the two centaurs, was instantly invigorated.

"Soul beads," Chen Yu squinted.

"Correct, genuine soul beads. The top three finishers will receive them. First place gets three beads, second place gets two, and third place receives just one. How many you can get depends on your fate and skill."

Fiddling with the five soul beads, the chief examiner continued, "So, the challenge format rules for the second round are as follows:"

"First, each person starts with 0 points."

"Second, challenging a Group A contestant and winning earns 1 point. Challenging a Group B contestant and winning earns 0.5 points. Each person is limited to five challenges. After everyone has finished, the rankings are determined by total points."

"Third, any contestant can refuse a challenge. But each refusal will cost 1 point."

"Fourth, regardless of points, Group A contestants will not drop below the top ten in the rankings. Similarly, Group B contestants, no matter how high their points, will only earn the eleventh spot at best."

"Did everyone get that?"

The contestants in the prep area said nothing.

Not fully understanding the rules, Chen Yu raised his right hand and asked, "Chief examiner, I have a question."

"Speak," the chief examiner looked at Chen Yu.

"If two people challenge five times and both win every time, what happens if their scores are the same?"

"If the scores are the same, naturally, they will have a playoff. The two will fight each other once. The winner advances, the loser drops."

"Got it," Chen Yu nodded, "It's just that these round's rules are a bit strange."

Hearing this, the chief examiner did not reply.

Strange rules certainly have their peculiar purposes.

Among the many races, human Transcendents are at a disadvantage.

Only rules like this can ensure that every time, a human will be among the top ten.

"Does anyone else have any questions?" the chief examiner smiled, "If not, then let's officially start the second round."

"Can... can we rest for a bit?" The groin-holding Transcendent raised his right hand while continuing to cover himself, "I need a doctor."

"No," the chief examiner shook his head, "You may choose to forfeit."

"Then I forfeit," the groin-holding Transcendent didn't hesitate.

Being relegated to Group B, he would never be able to break into the top ten. There was no point in continuing to fight.

"I forfeit, too," another Transcendent, whose arm was cut off in the first match, also chose to give up.

"Alright, two have forfeited," the chief examiner nodded, "Anyone else?"

The woman Transcendent sitting in the corner, covered in blood, hesitated for a long time, then clenched her teeth and kept quiet.
