CHAPTER TEXT:
Recently, in Dark Strip City, businesses in various shops have been surprisingly thriving.
Not only the bustling restaurants and bars are doing well, but almost all industries have seen varying degrees of revenue increases.
All of this, of course, is thanks to the upcoming Trial of the Brave, which is set to take place in just one day.
The opportunity to engage in real combat, departing from the holographic virtual battleground, and with the stipulation of a fight to the death, is undoubtedly a matter of great interest for the All Races of the Universe, especially in a time when large-scale conflicts are absent.
As a result, Dark Strip City, a small town lacking in tourism resources and core resources, has suddenly gained attention from many surrounding cities.
Numerous beings with nothing to do have rushed over, eager to witness this anticipated battle firsthand.
With a total of four thousand participants, two thousand from each side, the scale is not particularly large, but the fight is expected to be a breathtaking showdown.
It is entirely normal for this battle to draw attention due to its intriguing aspects.
Firstly, the two sides are sworn enemies, having been hostile for many years. The decline of the Star-Eye Clan is closely linked to the Radiant Tang Clan.
Under such circumstances, a confrontation naturally sparks fireworks.
Secondly, the Radiant Tang Clan is currently in a dire situation, as the issue of food being plundered continues to ferment throughout Dark Strip City, causing widespread speculation and severely damaging their reputation.
Many are closely watching the Radiant Tang Clan to see how they will track down this hidden opponent and resolve the matter.
It must be said that the continuous theft of food has severely impacted the Radiant Tang Clan's prestige.
Most notably, if this were the past, even if the upper echelons of the other eight clans received immense payments from the Star-Eye Clan, they would never allow them to provoke the Radiant Tang Clan, as it pertains to the dignity of the city's elite.
But now, the Radiant Tang Clan does not even know which powerful opponent they have offended, with even small fleets being wiped out. The future is uncertain, and many believe the Radiant Tang Clan is merely putting on a strong front.
At this moment, it seems perfectly appropriate for the Star-Eye Clan to test the waters, leading to the upcoming confrontation.
Even though Dark Strip City is just an inconspicuous town among the myriad cities of the Survivor Fortress, and its residents are merely a mid-tier race, they are still one of the All Races of the Universe.
Each individual is not foolish, and when undertaking any action, they will prioritize their own race. They will never act according to the Star-Eye Clan's demands simply because of financial incentives; if they do, it merely reflects their own interests aligning.
Lastly, the Star-Eye Clan has recently gained some fame.
The initial recognition of this race was primarily due to the love story between Pao Bai and the Musk Ke princess Isabella, which is still a topic of interest.
Following that, a person named Ye Zhongming emerged, achieving record-breaking scores in the nearly impossible novice battleground, bringing immense benefits to both himself and the Star-Eye Clan.
Many are eager to see how this revitalized race will face the challenge from their sworn enemies.
Of course, many are also puzzled as to why the Star-Eye Clan has chosen this moment to step forward.
All the answers will be revealed in this battle.
In stark contrast to the Radiant Tang Clan, with their entire clan united in a fervent desire for revenge, almost all of their members vocally clamoring throughout Dark Strip City to teach the Star-Eye Clan a lesson, the Star-Eye Clan has taken the opposite approach.
They have retreated into their underground fortress, avoiding the spotlight and appearing indifferent.
However, without permission, outsiders cannot enter the Star-Eye Clan's inner sanctum, leaving everyone to speculate while sipping their drinks.
