"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!"
The woman from Cloud Summit Villa who stepped into the battlefield was named Ling Yan. The moment she appeared on the battlefield, a faint yet visible number appeared above the heads of all the humans and sea beasts participating in the Grade 1 Roulette Challenge.
The first West Asian participant had the number 1 above his head, the Japanese participant had the number 2, and Ling Yan was assigned the number 3. This indicated their respective identification numbers.
Starting from number 4, the numbers belonged to the sea beasts, with the last number being 4351.
It seemed that there were 4351 beings wanting to participate in the first Sea King Disk challenge.
Sure enough, the roulette's prompt sounded, the challenge battlefield was closed, and the challenge began.
The previously gloomy West Asian participant was suddenly moved to the center of the arena.
"Please allow the challengers to step forward."
With the roulette's prompt, the number of the West Asian participant turned red, while the numbers of the other beings turned blue.
"Is this a challenge for one person against all beings?" Little Xiu asked incredulously. If so, it was simply too unfair for the number one challenger, wasn't it? Wasn't this destined to fail?
"No," Guang Yao shook his head.
"I think that's the brilliance of the roulette," Guang Yao said, his voice a bit heavy. "Don't forget that the Grade 1 Roulette allows for fifty spins, which means you can choose to fight fiercely or wait for the next challenger to appear to fight."
"Although being chosen as a kind of 'champion' is indeed somewhat passive, as long as they demonstrate fearsome strength, it may not necessarily be a bad thing."
Upon hearing Guang Yao's words, the others nodded in agreement. If they kept challenging, one spin opportunity would suffice; there was no need for fifty spins.
This involved weighing the strength of opponents, assessing the situation, and also included aspects like profession counters and skill counters. It even required attention to the prizes on the roulette; if the rewards drawn wouldn't disappear and could be retrieved again, then there was no problem. However, once the drawn rewards disappeared, then challengers had to be cautious about the order of challenges and whether the roulette still contained desired rewards.
From this perspective, the participants at the front would have some advantages.
Overall, the order of participation had its pros and cons.
Humans typically approached such choices cautiously. Therefore, when the challenge began, the number 2 Japanese participant and Ling Yan with number 3 did not move, while the sea beasts appeared a bit frenzied.
Several sea beasts rushed toward the arena, startling the number 1 participant, who trembled at the sight.
Soon, the first sea beast to charge forward was selected by the roulette and appeared in the arena.
The number 1 West Asian was a two-star evolver, while the first challenger, the 1876 sea beast, was also a Grade 2 lifeform. With no need for any formalities, they immediately clashed.
Since this was the first battle, both sides were paying close attention. Even if such a fight was not worth watching in the eyes of high-level lifeforms, they still wanted to observe how the roulette would behave after the battle ended.
The fight couldn't be called exciting, but it was bloody enough. In the end, the West Asian participant managed to kill the sea beast at the cost of one of his arms.
A collective sigh emerged from the human camp, as the number 1 challenger was clearly in terrible condition and it was nearly impossible for him to win another fight.
On the sea beast side, many emitted bloodthirsty roars, clearly intent on taking advantage of the situation.
However, a flash of golden light silenced both sides. The injuries of the number 1 challenger rapidly healed in the golden light, and within seconds, he was as good as new.
Faced with this change, the surviving number 1 participant shouted excitedly. Although many couldn't understand what he was saying, it was likely about his injuries healing and his strength recovering.
