Chapter 296: Mutation! The Ultimate Boss Enters the Battlefield!
At this mont—
The Martial God was staring intently at the holographic screen, his gaze fixed on Chen Ye, his expression unreadable.
No one in the room dared to make a sound.
The atmosphere in the living room was tense and heavy.
After a long silence—
The Martial God finally spoke: "Such a despair-inducing power... An S1 Hero Talent..."
Seeing the look of despondency on his face, the blonde female disciple beside him felt a pang of sympathy.
Her teacher was not only her ntor but also the person she admired most.
"Teacher! To , you are still the most outstanding!"
The Martial God waved his hand dismissively, not responding to his disciple's words.
At this mont—
Soone asked in confusion, "Isn't the match already over? Why is that bald guy still in the arena? Even the teleportation portal hasn't appeared yet?"
The others quickly caught on.
"Yeah! It's been a few minutes since he killed the Beast King, hasn't it?"
"Five minutes, to be exact."
"There must be so kind of change happening."
Even the Martial God, Li Wu, revealed a look of surprise as he watched the holographic screen with great interest.
On the screen, the bald man who seed godlike had a surprised expression on his face.
—
More and more people started noticing the situation in the arena.
According to the usual rules, after a victory, the secret realm would promptly open a teleportation portal to allow the contestant to return.
But now, five minutes had passed with no movent. The bald man remained standing there.
It was obvious!
Sothing was wrong.
And that was indeed the case!
Just monts ago, Chen Ye had received a notification from the secret realm:
Since he was the sole contestant to advance from the fourth round, he was, by default, the champion.
However, the secret realm then inford him that, according to the original rules, champions were supposed to undergo a fifth round before receiving any additional rewards.
But now, since the fourth round had ended early with no other competitors left...
If Chen Ye chose to end the tournant here, he would still be the champion, but he would miss out on the extra rewards.
To claim the bonus, he had to proceed to the fifth round and defeat one more opponent.
After reading the rules, Chen Ye rolled his eyes.
So the original plan had five rounds?
And yet you threw a Beast King at in the fourth round? Who else was even supposed to make it past that?!
After a brief mont of thought—
Chen Ye decided to proceed to the fifth round.
Since he was just one step away from claiming the additional reward, there was no reason not to try.
And if the opponent in the fifth round turned out to be too strong, he could always surrender.
After all, he had already secured the championship.
—
With Chen Ye's agreent—
The secret realm imdiately began preparing his next opponent.
As a result—
The spectators saw new changes unfolding in the arena.
Ghidorah's mutilated corpse slowly vanished, and the arena's shattered landscape, with its deep craters and destruction, began to restore itself.
In just a few breaths—
The arena was completely repaired, looking as pristine as it had before the battle.
Yet, Chen Ye remained standing in place, as if waiting for sothing...
"What's going on? Why isn't my Brother Chen coming back?" Cao Yu asked in surprise.
At this mont—
It wasn't just him. Everyone in the living room was filled with confusion.
"Looking at this setup... could it be..." Old Liu couldn't help but mutter, "Is there another opponent?"
This was obvious.
Everyone could see it.
Ren Qianqian asked, "Teacher, didn't Brother Chen already win the championship? Why is he still competing?"
"I don't know either."
At the mont, only Chen Ye himself knew the answer to that question.
"This brat... Is he really going to proceed to the fifth round?"
President Chen's expression was tinged with concern.
The opponent in the fourth round was already terrifying—what kind of monstrous existence would appear in the fifth round?
Just as he was pondering this—
A change occurred in the arena.
A crimson-red portal suddenly appeared in the middle of the field.
Up until now, all the portals had been blue.
This was the first ti a red portal had ever appeared.
Imdiately, everyone beca serious, their gazes locked onto the portal.
The next mont—
A human figure stepped out from the portal.
It was a young man, on the shorter side, seemingly not even reaching 1.7 ters. However, his arms were well-muscled—not overly exaggerated, but sharply defined, making him look incredibly strong.
He was dressed in a tight combat suit, with thick hair styled in a sharp, spiky fashion, resembling a missile warhead.
His facial features were average, but his expression carried a hint of nace. Over his left eye, he wore a device resembling a scouter.
What caught everyone's attention the most was the tail swaying behind him, moving unconsciously.
A tail.
That alone confird that this guy was definitely not human.
Even though, aside from that tail, he looked nearly identical to a human.
As soon as he appeared—
Countless spectators began murmuring among themselves.
"Who is this guy? The opponent for the fifth round?"
"He looks kind of familiar..."
"He has a tail? Is he an alien?"
"Wait! But wasn't Young Master Chen already declared the champion? Why is there another fight?"
"Who cares! As long as we get to watch a good battle! Hopefully, this little guy can put up a fight and force Bald Boss to reveal his true strength."
—
Inside the Martial God's villa.
When the Martial God saw the new opponent in the arena, his eyes widened in shock.
"It's actually him!!"
His blonde female disciple imdiately asked, "Teacher, do you know this person?"
The Martial God nodded. "I encountered this guy in Secret Realm No. 30. He isn't human—he cos from a warrior race in the universe. He calls himself the Prince of the Saiyans."
"Saiyan? Prince?"
The blonde disciple, seeing her teacher's serious expression, grew curious. "Is he strong?"
The Martial God shook his head. "At the ti, he was leading a group that invaded a human-inhabited planet. My mission was only to defeat one of his subordinates, so I completed my task and left. I never saw him in action."
Hearing this, the blonde disciple turned her attention to the arena, watching intently.
—
Inside Room 857.
When everyone saw Chen Ye's new opponent, they were montarily stunned.
"This guy... Is he so kind of primitive monkey that didn't evolve? He actually has a tail?" Cao Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
"He doesn't look that impressive," Ren Qianqian said with a grin. "And he's so short."
Zhao Zheng's expression turned serious. "Since he's the opponent for the fifth round, he must be extraordinary. The secret realm wouldn't place a weaker opponent after the Beast King."
That was a fair point.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
President Chen frowned, deep in thought. He couldn't recall ever encountering this person in any other secret realm, so he asked, "Captain Qin, have you seen this guy before?"
He was asking out of concern for his son.
"I have so impression of him," Qin Muyin said. "I think he's from an alien race called the Saiyans."
"Oh? Are Saiyans strong?"
"I haven't interacted with them directly, so I'm not sure." Qin Muyin thought for a mont before adding, "But Zhao is right—if he's appearing in the fifth round, he's definitely not as simple as he looks."
