Chapter 239: Arena (2)
“Jing, are you going up?”
Xu Lingyun poked Zhou Jing’s waist.
“I’ll go and join in the fun.”
Zhou Jing smiled.
His friends had all gone up, so it was not good for him to sit back and watch the show alone.
Moreover, he was only a Physical Enhancement Super now, so there was nothing strange about it. If he could make others think highly of him, it would ultimately be beneficial.
Therefore, he decided to go on stage and show his strength. He would try to fight for the recommendation of a mentor that Wang Wu had mentioned. After all, the main world was a peaceful society. It was more practical to take the initiative to perform when there was a chance and obtain benefits.
If he kept hiding his strength and did not show it, then there was no reason for others to take him seriously… It was unrealistic to think that others would be able to tell that he was extraordinary just because he kept a low profile.
Moreover, the ability users of the main world were fancy and not monotonous like the Mutant World. It was not bad to fight with some people with strange abilities to increase his experience and enjoy himself in the process.
“Wonderful. You haven’t been sparring with us all this time. This is a good opportunity to see your ability.”
Xu Lingyun wrapped his arm around Zhou Jing’s neck and chuckled.
After about ten minutes, the city teams had chosen their candidates.
There were a total of 13 teams. Among them were Li Xiaoyin’s West Sea Team, Lin Kun’s Floating Rock City Team, He Changqing’s Five Gates City Team, and Wu Fan’s Long Mountain Team. They were naturally the four most competitive teams.
Not long after, the first person went up the stage. He had Class B potential. After introducing himself, another person immediately went up to challenge him.
Wang Wu, who was acting as the referee, walked around at the side. He did not seem to have any special abilities, but he could easily use his physical fitness to suppress the two opponents and announce the winner.
One by one, the newly awakened took turns to go on stage. All kinds of abilities were displayed in front of everyone, dazzling the rest of those in the spectator stands.
Among them, there was no lack of very powerful abilities. Their power made Zhou Jing’s heart skip a beat, but the users were clearly very inexperienced.
Putting aside the destructive power of their superpowers, these people were actually no different from rookies pecking at each other.
Those who could win basically relied on their superpowers to be strong, not on their own skills… Naturally, they could do so because this was their talent.
From time to time, the people in the stands would cheer as those in the arena sparred with each other. The atmosphere was good, and in a short while, they had fought almost 30 rounds.
Zhao He also went on stage. After winning two rounds, he was beaten down.
It was not that he was useless, but everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding. Only when the powerful went on stage would the other teams send the powerful ones to deal with their opponents to prevent weaker Awakened from giving away points.
If there was no powerful person on the stage, the “experts” of the various teams would wait patiently.
Not long after, Huang Wei thought that it was about time and went on stage.
“I’m Huang Wei, from West Sea City. I have Class A potential. Nice to meet everyone.”
She maintained a proper smile and introduced herself to the hundreds of people in the stands.
Seeing this, everyone in the stands immediately started discussing.
“Another Class A. The quality of this batch of Awakened in West Sea City is really high.”
“That’s right. They still have Li Xiaoyin.”
“Sigh, we don’t even have a Class A. We won’t be able to rely on anyone in the future.”
Many people present were extremely envious.
Hearing the discussion not far away, Xu Lingyun touched his chin and whispered to his friends.
“Although Huang Wei is not very likable, she is indeed a big thigh to grasp.”
Zhang Xiao snapped, “Isn’t Sister Yin’s leg enough for you to hug?”
Xu Lingyun snorted. “Sister Yin’s legs are indeed thick, but it’s also for me to hug because I’m her assistant. You can only hug Jingjing’s thigh.”
Zhang Xiao was instantly unhappy when he heard this, “What’s wrong? Are you looking down on my Jingjing? Even if his legs aren’t thick enough, he’s still my boss. I don’t despise him. If you continue talking nonsense, I’ll go up and beat you up when you get on stage.”
“Cough, I didn’t say that. You said it yourself…”
Hearing the two of them babbling nonsense, Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and could not be bothered with them. He continued to observe Huang Wei’s battle on the stage.
Huang Wei’s ability was quite interesting. She could release a bright purple energy thread and have it take on a specific shape.
This purple energy thread formed a hollowed female armor made of light.
In addition, it extended from her hands and gathered into two purple light whips. When they came into contact with objects, they exploded with electric sparks. They seemed to have high temperatures and the power of electric shocks. They could also be extended and retracted freely.
She kept whipping with both hands, drawing out charred marks on the stage. The commotion she caused was not small.
An opponent with only Grade C potential could only roll around in a sorry state to dodge. Soon, he could not dodge and was saved by Wang Wu.
Huang Wei easily defeated her opponent and became the new arena lord.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jing’s eyes flickered as he analyzed.
“It should be an energy release-type superpower. Its basic usage seems to be to transform and shape. Then it should probably be a control-type… To be able to be evaluated as having Class A potential, it’s probably taking into account that if she continues to grow, she can develop more control methods and energy forms. There’s also potential for development in distance and power…”
There were many types of superpowers in the main world. Until today, there were still new types born from time to time. The source of abilities was basically awakening, learning, genetic modification, mutation, and so on.
The most common types of abilities were physical enhancement, energy release, mental will, secret techniques, mechanical prosthetics, and material manipulation.
There was no need to mention physical strengthening and mechanical prosthetics, which had the greatest amount of Supers. The special secret techniques were learned after birth and were considered to be out of the category of innate talents. As for the other three types of abilities, their potential evaluation would usually not be too low.
“Speaking of which, I wonder if the elemental sorcerer system in the Mutant World is considered under the energy release or material manipulation systems? It can’t be a secret technique, right?”
