Xiao Yong felt a blast of cold as he rubbed his eyes and woke from his dream. Relying on the sparse moonlight to look, he could not help but be terror-stricken!

The expensive white fox fur blanket that he covered himself with had already been dyed in fresh blood, turning heavy and wet as if he had just retrieved it from a blood pool.

The corpse of Black Eight-fingers and the goateed men were lying to the side, their four dead eyes blankly staring at him.

Xiao Yong was petrified, hurriedly tearing off the blanket as he checked to see if the fresh blood came from them or him.

That was when a cyan short blade extended from behind him, positioned firmly across his neck. Its sharp edge gave him chills as he shuddered from the fear.

“Don’t move,” Xia Fei coldly remarked. “If you dare shout for help, you’ll end up just like them.”

Xiao Yong forcefully suppressed his terrified expression as his heart started palpitating fast as if it were going to leap out of his chest.

“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I’ve got money! As long as you spare me, I’ll give you all the money I have!” Xiao Yong trembled as he spoke, his cold sweat tracking down his forehead.

The strapping man turned around and patted his chest in the direction where Xia Fei had hidden, “The name’s Chen Dong! I hail from the Empire of Frost, and I can tell you’ve got very good bladework. I wonder if you have the guts to come and fight it out with me! If you win, all these will belong to you!”

The man’s bellows were thunderous, so anyone in a few miles radius could clearly hear him while his voice was filled with confidence and provocation.

It sounded like he was suggesting a fair and honest challenge between him and Xia Fei, as his words sounded somewhat arrogant, though not unpleasant.

Xia Fei remained prone on the ground, not moving, as he continued to observe him.

All he saw was Chen Dong untie a small cloth bundle and slowly pour everything inside onto the ground.

Among them were a dozen of the red second round tokens! The rest were spatial rings, and the number was no less than a hundred!

‘Could everything there be the spoils he had collected!’ Xia Fei thought to himself.

Shock!

Extreme shock!

Chen Dong had not only managed to escape from the 100,000 candidate slaughter but also managed to gather all the spoils from the candidates he had killed on his way here. Who knew just how many men lost their lives at his hands!

“This person is really fascinating. He treats the assessment like a trial. What he cares about isn’t becoming an adjudicator, but to enjoy the fights he gets into,” Phantom shook his head admiringly, “If he isn’t insane, then he must be a battle idiot.”

Xia Fei nodded, agreeing with Phantom’s evaluation. Even though this person was openly throwing a challenge toward Xia Fei, it was unknown why Xia Fei did not bear any distaste at him but instead admired his audacity.

That was when a layer of ice armor formed around Chen Dong’s body all of a sudden, encasing him in a white frost from head to toe. That shiny white armor he now wore looked exceptionally spectacular under the starlight.

“A Nature Special Ability User!” Phantom’s two eyes shone even as he cried out loudly.

“Nature?” Xia Fei asked, puzzled. The set of ice armor on Chen Dong’s body had appeared from out of nowhere, and he had no idea how that was achieved.

“That’s right,” Phantom was apparently very excited about this. “Nature Special Ability Users possess the mystical power of nature. His ability should be Freeze, to be able to instantly form sturdy ice from the moisture in the air. He couldn’t only use it to protect himself, but he could also use it to deliver intense attacks.”

Xia Fei thought about this for a moment before asking, “How does Nature Special Ability compare against Xiao Yu’s Protection Special Ability?”

Just saying this caused Xia Fei to feel a bout of sadness. It was unknown just where that poor child was and if she were safe or otherwise.

Phantom sighed and sat down on the ground with his head tilted, “Protection Special Abilities prioritize defense and offense is secondary, so naturally, it has a strong defense but weak offense. Conversely, most Nature Special Abilities are attack-oriented, with its defense as supplementary. Chen Dong’s Freeze Special Ability is even more outstanding, providing both a sturdy defense and powerful offense, and is considered the most balanced out of all the Nature Special Abilities.”

The two were quiet for a good moment. On mentioning Xiao Yu, neither Xia Fei nor Phantom felt good, as the atmosphere momentarily got a little heavy.

“Since you’re all here, why not show yourselves? Come out and fight me if you have the guts!” Chen Dong shouted with great enthusiasm. As long as there was a fight to be fought, Chen Dong’s pupils would always be green.

He was now a little annoyed after shouting for so long, yet no one came out, “You cowardly bastards! To actually not have the guts to do anything to me! You’re all just wasting my time!”

Chen Dong then turned in the direction where Xia Fei was hiding, “You, over here! Are you fighting or not? Quick come out and fight if you want. I’ll let you and those cowards behind me gang up on me together!”

Xia Fei was speechless. This Chen Dong character was really interesting, having a love for fighting to the point he was almost crazy over it. Others would usually fight for a reason, like if it was a competition or simply out of anger. But this person here was fighting solely for the sake of fighting like he was born only to fight.

Chen Dong stood there and shouted for some more time, though no one took up on his challenge. Disgruntled, he packed up the items into a cloth bundle and went in the direction he originally came from.

“Pointless. This is so boring! Since you guys aren’t coming over, then I’ll fight my way there!” Chen Dong yelled loudly.

Chen Dong headed back in the direction he came from and strode up with haste, while Xia Fei saw a group of figures immediately scattering in the distance as if they were terrified of Chen Dong, the battle maniac.

Getting up, Xia Fei turned toward the west and began running. Those men who followed Chen Dong were a threat, and Xia Fei was not interested in getting into a fight for no reason, so he decided to avoid them.

Besides, Xiao Yu’s kidnapper had also fled toward the west, so Xia Fei did not wish to let go of any possible clues.

“Phantom, I’ve got a feeling that I’ll have to fight that Chen Dong person, sooner or later,” Xia Fei said even as he ran.
