## Arena
My words were like a stone thrown into still water, and the entire scene suddenly boiled over. Arrogant! This guy was too arrogant! It was one thing to challenge one person, but he even said the entire Team could come up together. Did he think he was a Harrogath Level Adventurer? For a moment, the Adventurers who were unwilling to be inferior to others started shouting, while those who originally supported me secretly showed worry.
"Elder, won't this cause trouble?"
Thorn, who was beside me, saw that the emotions of the thousands of Adventurers below the Platform were getting out of control and couldn't help but ask worriedly. He sighed inwardly, this Elder was really too reckless. What if he lost?
"It's fine, let them make a fuss."
I watched the Adventurers below making a commotion with cold eyes and replied indifferently. Kurast Level Adventurers posed no threat to me.
Before long, the noise below quieted down. It seemed they had reached some Agreement. Suddenly, the Crowd parted, and a large Barbarian walked out from within. He wore Armor, and his tall Body was like a small mountain. Every step he took made a heavy resounding sound.
"Boom—"
His massive Body shot up like a cannonball, leaping onto the Platform three or four meters high. The moment his feet landed heavily, the entire Platform vibrated slightly. Slowly standing up, the Barbarian raised his Head. His Eyes were filled with undisguised burning Battle Intent. The Armor shimmering with a faint cold light and the ferocious Barbarian Helmet on his Head made him look even more burly and fierce, like a mad steel Giant Beast.
"Kid, you're straightforward. I, Ku Te, like guys like you who speak without beating around the bush, but your words are too arrogant. Let me weigh whether you have the ability to say such things."
"No problem."
I sized up the Barbarian. A full set of Magic Equipment, Rare Item Gloves, an Exclusive Helmet for Barbarians, and an unknown Weapon. In Kurast, this kind of Equipment was considered top-tier. It seemed that although those Adventurers were shouting with their mouths, they were also very cautious in their hearts.
Thorn gave me a helpless look from the side, knowing that in this situation, there was nothing he could do to salvage it. He couldn't help but sigh and left with heavy Footsteps, leaving the Place to me and this Barbarian named Ku Te. This Platform had originally been Magic Reinforcement, and after a Sorceress set up a Defense Shield, a simple Arena was thus completed.
"Oh. Ku Te. Take down that arrogant kid..."
"Lord, we will always support you..."
On the Arena, Ku Te and I stood in opposite corners, our unyielding Battle Intent filling the space between us. Below the Platform, however, it was already boiling over. Listening carefully, there were quite a few Adventurers cheering for Ku Te. It seemed he was very popular in Kurast.
"Standard Rules?"
I looked at Ku Te and asked.
Standard Rules were the most commonly used rules on the Adventurer Arena: means were unlimited, and losing half Health was considered a loss.
"Standard Rules."
Licking his dry lips, Ku Te replied. His solid, sharp Pupils seemed impatient for this Battle. Barbarians were indeed a warlike bunch.
"Level 38 Barbarian, Ku Te."
"Level 31 Druid, Wu Fan."
I was stunned for a moment, but I finally decided to tell a small lie. Anyway, Level 29 and Level 31 weren't too different.
"Kid, you're really too arrogant."
After learning that I was a Druid, and only Level 31, Ku Te, and all the Adventurers below the Platform, their Expressions looked a bit strange. You see, Level 31 and Level 38 weren't just a simple difference of 7 Levels; there was also a Tier difference in between – Tier 3. This was the dividing line between Tier 3 Skill and Tier 4 Skill. If someone said a Level 24 could defeat a Level 35, perhaps some might believe it, but if a Level 35 defeated a Level 36, not many would be willing to believe it.
"If you have that Time, you should worry about yourself instead."
Ignoring the doubtful and Contemptuous Gaze below the Platform, I smiled slightly at Ku Te. Fact would decide everything.
He was stunned, seemingly not expecting that I would still dare to be so arrogant when I was one Tier lower. The next moment, Ku Te laughed wildly.
"Good, very good. You're the first person I, Ku Te, have ever seen who is so arrogant. For your courage, I have to say I admire you, but..."
He paused, and a fierce look instantly flashed across his Eyes. He suddenly spread his hands, and the next moment, a golden-blue intersecting Light illuminated the entire Arena. A Magic Double Axe and a Rare Item Two-Handed Sword. Wielding two sharp Weapons, Ku Te looked even more like a battle tank.
"But, I will make you understand what the Gap is."
Two Gold Equipment? He indeed had some skill. It seemed Ku Te should be one of the top Experts in Kurast.
"Oh oh, Ku Te is angry, that kid is in trouble..."
The Adventurers below the Platform who couldn't stand my arrogance also started making noise, gloating.
"Come on, Summon your Pet. Let me see where your arrogant capital lies."
Ku Te hooked a finger at me dismissively and said, snorting. In his opinion, the Opponent's reliance on Tactics was nothing more than using a Summoned Pet to tie down the Enemy in the front, and then using Elemental Magic to attack from behind. This kind of Tactics was indeed very useful on the Arena and was one of the most widely used Tactics by Druids. However, I, Lord Ku Te, will let this arrogant kid know that In Front of absolute Strength and Speed, all Tactics are useless.
However, the next moment, his Movement stiffened, as if he had seen something Incredible. He actually saw the Opponent shaking his Head? Oh, could it be that he wanted to cease Battle and beg him for mercy? He would even rather think this way. However, the words the Opponent spoke completely overturned his Idea.
"Summon? No need." He saw his Opponent shaking his Head, and then said this.
"Wahahaha—"
At this moment, Ku Te burst into loud laughter. No need? He said he didn't need to Summon? Did he want to engage in Melee Combat with him? A Level 31 Druid engaging in Melee Combat with a Level 38 Barbarian?
As everyone knows, among the Seven Great Classes, when it comes to Melee Combat, no one is a match for the Barbarian. Strong Stamina, strong Defense, unparalleled Strength and Speed. They deservedly became the Melee King. For example, if one had to say that a Low-Tier Adventurer could defeat a High-Tier Adventurer, it wasn't impossible. For instance, if the other six High-Tier Classes chose to engage in Melee Combat with a Low-Tier Barbarian...
At this moment, both Ku Te and the Adventurers below the Platform started laughing. The Gaze they looked at me with was no longer Contempt, but Pity.
"Alright, alright. I get it."
After finally stopping his laughter, Ku Te waved his hand dismissively at the Opponent. Previously, he had some reservations about this arrogant Opponent because there were always a few Lucky Ones in this world who were favored by God. These people would more or less have a few Unique Skills that other Adventurers didn't have. Ku Te was wary of precisely this. But now, it was completely unnecessary. In his view, the Opponent was completely just an arrogant and conceited kid who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. This kind of person was simply not worthy of me, Lord Ku Te, getting angry.
"Then I'll also change some Equipment to show respect for our Operation Representative."
Saying this, he changed into two Normal Short Swords, casually swung them a few times, and then waved showily at the Adventurers below the Platform to greet them. He thought to himself, I'm really a good person. What if I accidentally Hack this kid to death if I use too good a Weapon? It's better to change to something else. I'll beat him soundly and let him see what a real Expert is. Maybe this kid can still turn over a new leaf.
Thinking this way, Ku Te couldn't help but feel intoxicated. I, Ku Te, am truly a broad-minded good person! I can actually tolerate such a kid who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth being arrogant In Front of me and even give him a lesson. Why is it that a good person like me doesn't have girls liking me?...
"Can we start?"
Looking at the Barbarian who was already lost in wild fantasies, I couldn't help but ask.
"Oh oh, yes yes, just come over."
Wiping the saliva from the Corner of his mouth, Ku Te casually swung the two Short Swords in his hand a few times and said carelessly. The Battle Intent in his heart had already cooled down. This kind of Opponent really made him unable to muster any Battle Intent.
"Then I'll help cool down your Brain first."
A ball of blue misty Frost instantly formed in my hand. With a casual wave, the Frost drew an arc and shot towards the Barbarian Ku Te, who hadn't fully entered Battle state.
"Simplified Polar Storm? Still has some tricks..."
Seeing a ball of blue Frost spraying towards him, Ku Te muttered. He didn't intend to Dodge. In Fact, it was already too late to Dodge. Who told him he was just fantasizing?
This form of simplified Polar Storm could be done by Kurast Level Druids, so Ku Te wasn't very surprised. If he had to say something, it was just surprise that this arrogant Opponent's Magic Technique could actually still reach a medium level.
The next moment, the Frost enveloped Ku Te. The exposed Skin on his Body quickly turned blue, and his shimmering Armor was also covered with a layer of Frost. The thousands of Adventurers below the Platform immediately let out gasps of surprise, especially those skilled in Magic. They all discovered something from this simplified Polar Storm.
"This... This is..."
Ku Te moved his sluggish Body, feeling a cold Aura he had never felt before rushing wildly within his Body. He looked over with Incredulous Gaze and asked in a deep voice.
"The Power of this Polar Storm should be Level 7 or higher."
I nodded. This was Level 9 Polar Storm.
"Stupid, too stupid! I originally thought you just didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect you to be such an incorrigible fool! You actually put precious Skill Points into Polar Storm!" He let out a Roar, and the Muscles all over his Body bulged. The layer of Frost covering Ku Te's Body instantly shattered into countless Ice Shards like fragile glass. Relying on his powerful Strength, Ku Te forcibly recovered from the Frozen State. Of course, this was also because it was just a simplified version of Polar Storm.
Ku Te was truly angry. Under the heavens, there was actually still such a Bastard who didn't know how to cherish things? How difficult it was to become a Class-Changed One! How much Effort he himself had put into this! But now, this person actually used his precious Skill Points randomly. This was simply a Contempt for all Classes, a Blasphemy.
"Today, I will properly teach you a lesson, you Bastard."
Ku Te, who had recovered from the Frozen State, pointed the Short Sword in his right hand from a distance, pointed at me, and said angrily. That Battle Intent that had originally almost disappeared ignited fiercely on his Body again.
"Then just bring it on."
Looking at Ku Te, whose Battle Intent on his Body had almost materialized and was pressing directly towards me, I smiled lightly. This was more interesting.
"Oh oh--, Kid, today I, Lord Ku Te, must beat you flat."
Roaring, Ku Te's Body suddenly disappeared from the spot. In less than the blink of an eye, he had already crossed a Distance of dozens of meters, attacking me with a strong sound of breaking air.
Barbarian Tier 2 Skill - Leap.
"Boom—"
