"Pat."
With his feet on the ground, Chen Yu was relieved to see that his family was safe and sound, "Are you all okay?"
"Chen Yu?! You... What on earth..." The middle-aged man exclaid in shock, his gaze frantically shifting between Chen Yu and Chen, finally fixing on Chen with a glint of cold light, "So you're not one of us!"
"Pfft—"
Chen Yu reacted quickly, swinging the anomaly-infused White Fang of his sister in a sweeping blow!
The vile middle-aged creature was promptly cleaved in two.
The stench of blood erupted in the air.
"Sorry about this, bro." Chen scratched his head and handed over the lighter to the middle-aged man frozen in place, "Here's your fire back."
The monstrous middle-aged man: "..."
"Thump!"
The body fell to the ground, lifeless.
Ms. Chen hastily closed her eyes in fright.
Chen also turned her head away, not daring to look.
"We'd better get moving, this place is not safe to stay for long." Chen Yu glanced back at the increasingly intense western battlefront, took up Chen in his left arm, grabbed Chen with his right hand, and said to Li Yao who had followed, "Help out, please, take my mother with you."
"Are you planning to escape?" Li Yao frowned and pointed to the red isolation shield at the edge of the spectator's seats, "For now, you definitely can't escape. Not to ntion whether you can break through that protective shield, even if you did, neither of us are C Transcendents or above, lacking the ability to fly. From ten thousand ters in the sky, how would you get down?
It's better to find a place to hide or join the battle, and wait for victory."
"And what if the creatures win?" Chen Yu asked.
"Naturally, we'll be annihilated."
"I'm a man, I don't like to be annihilated. So, you better co with , I have a way to get out."
Having said that, Chen Yu left first.
The girl didn't fuss and bowed to Ms. Chen, "Aunt, let carry you."
"Okay." Ms. Chen climbed onto Li Yao's back, her eyes darting around, "Girl, what's your relationship with my Chen Yu?"
Hearing this, the girl recalled what Chen Yu had said to her, hesitated for a long mont, and cautiously said, "For the mont... it's a friendship."
"Oh." Ms. Chen's eyes shone, "Got it, got it. I understand. Girl, you are quite handso (zun with the fourth tone)."
"Hold on tight, don't fall off."
"Okay." Ms. Chen hugged the girl tightly, intentionally or unintentionally grabbing at Li Yao's chest.
"... Eh?"
She didn't grab anything.
Perplexed, she reached in again.
Still nothing.
Just emptiness.
"!!!"
Ms. Chen was shocked.
Just one thought echoed in her mind: 'A black hole is hidden in the chest of my future daughter-in-law...'
The two Transcendents, carrying a "creature" and two elderly people, returned to the arena.
Finding a relatively safe place, they set down Chen and Chen, Chen Yu looked around and imdiately spotted the group of foreign contestants hiding in the ready area.
"You hide here for a while, I'll be right back."
With that, he drew "White Fang" amid the astonished looks of everyone and charged into the ready area.
"What's he off to do?" Chen wondered, puzzled.
"Don't know." Chen shook her head.
"Girl," continued Ms. Chen, chatting with Li Yao, "what do you usually eat? Do you have any interest in papayas?"
The girl: "..."

On the vast eastern side of the arena.
Over a hundred Transcendents who had heard the news from the capital had already flown to the edge of the arena, stopping together outside the red "protective shield."
"What is this?" A towering man two ters tall, dressed in steel armor, hovered in midair and reached out to touch the "shield."
"Zzz—"
The scorching temperature instantly set his fingertips ablaze.
"Don't touch it." The woman in the tight suit looked serious, "It's a type of isolation array. The source of the array is at least set up by an A-grade Supre."
"It hurts a bit." The steel-armored giant snuffed out the flas creeping on his fingers, "For D-grade or below ability users, touching it ans death."
"What now?" Another Transcendent looked at the increasingly brutal battlefield within the protective shield, "There are too many creatures, and those lower-level ability users can hardly hold on."
"What now? What else can we bloody do?" A shoehorn-faced ugly man with a hamr flew out from the crowd and swung the hamr furiously at the protective shield, "Smash the damn thing to smithereens."
"No!" The woman in the tight suit exclaid in alarm.
"Boom—"
The hamr had already struck the isolation shield.
With the red light's brightness suddenly intensifying, the extensive red protective circle shrank inwards by several tens of ters!
"Ah!"
"Augh!"
"Ahhhh—"
"Help ..."
Within the red circle, those who had been hiding on the periphery of the stands were instantly burned to ashes by the contracting light circle.
The people on the outside panicked and desperately tried to flee further inwards.
Crying, shouting, cursing—unstoppable.
"Idiot, can't you be a bit less impulsive!" The woman in the tight suit cursed angrily.
"Ah." The ugly man sheepishly put away the hamr, scratching his head awkwardly, "This thing... is quite strange."
"It looks like breaking it from the outside is impossible." The steel-armored giant frowned deeply, examining the twelve creatures maintaining the array inside the red light circle, "Solving those twelve beasts internally seems feasible."
The woman in the tight suit nodded and made a quick decision, "Contact all the Transcendents still moving freely inside the arena, and kill those maintaining the array!"
"Yes." The steel-armored giant pulled out a communicator as if by magic, his gaze sharp, scanning the entire scene.
Soon, he noticed Chen Yu and Li Yao in the middle of the arena, "They should be able to do it. Li Yao and Chen Yu."
