People tend to be willing to spread the word about exciting times an they would make dates to go together and watch the show.

Even though they might have to pay a price for doing so, they had been taken over by curiosity, so as long as the price was not too high to pay, they would usually choose to agree.

Half an hour had passed, and almost everyone in the Binhai City had heard the news.

Whether it was people who liked to watch duels in the arena or people who didn’t, all of them seemed to be attracted by the gimmick “high school student”.

Therefore, in just half an hour, the arena was filled with a large number of spectators.

Some of them had been here before. After seeing that the ticket price had tripled, they stood at the door hesitantly.

In the end, they simply could not overcome their curiosity. Even if the price was tripled, they still obediently paid for the ticket.

Another group of people came because of the gimmick of a high school student fighting the weeping corpse bird.

When they saw the ticket price, not only did they not complain that it was too expensive, but they even exclaimed that the price was so cheap that it was worth it.

Therefore, in less than half an hour, the tickets were bought in a frenzy, and the seats were occupied at an extreme speed.

At the same time, the streets and alleys were filled with discussions related to the arena.

There were even related discussions in companies, guilds, various places, and even schools.

Wanda Enterprise was known for its strict discipline. During work hours, the company’s employees would hardly slack off.

They would work hard until the end of their working hours and until they finally finished all the work they had to do.

Yet, after a company like this had received a special advertisement about the arena today, many of the employees were slacking off and discussing it.

There was no other reason. The gimmick of “Binhai First High student fighting the weeping corpse bird” was simply too attractive.

The employees of the company worked hard every day just to survive, for the sake of their wives, children, and parents.

Even so, their lives were still getting worse by the day.

The reason for all of this was because of the appearance of the myriad races. The habitat of the humans was constantly being shrunk by the fierce beasts.

Therefore, after seeing the news, the employees seemed to have found a way to vent their accumulated anger and emotions.

“Are the children nowadays so powerful? Oh my God, I didn’t know anything back in high school!” A bald middle-aged man was looking at the message on his phone screen excitedly. He looked at the poster of a small human facing a fierce beast, and his expression became increasingly excited.

“Yes, I remember that when I awakened my talent in high school, there were less than 10 who had successfully awakened their talent in the whole school! It’s only been a few years, but kids nowadays dare to challenge fierce beasts?” Beside the bald uncle, a big man with long greasy hair was joined in on the heated discussion.

When he spoke, his eyes seemed to be unwilling to leave the poster, and he would glance at it from time to time.

Hidden in his excited expression was an even heavier emotion.

Twenty years ago, he was depressed after failing to awaken his talent. He felt helpless and useless because he could not contribute to mankind and could only work hard to make a living.

However, at this moment, looking at this poster and the scrawny young man that was standing straight before danger, looking at the extremely dangerous and ferocious fierce beast opposite the young man, an A-grade beast that was nearly three meters tall and was covered in blood, the young man still dared to face it alone while only being a high school student!

What was even more surprising was that the young man had 125 blood-qi points!

This guy named Su Chen made the greasy long-haired man envious, but what he felt more for the boy was a blessing!

It wasn’t just because they were all humans. It was also because the boy on the poster was of the younger generation who was the future of mankind. He was a stronger and better junior!

Therefore, all the emotions of the long-haired man turned into anticipation. He looked at the poster with the disappointment he once had for himself and the longing he had when he was a child. Full of anticipation, he muttered, “Kid, you must win this match and beat up the fierce beast!”

Beside the long-haired man, a middle-aged man with a clean buzzcut was staring at the poster in his hand in a daze.

Although he didn’t like the long-haired man’s pretentious words, for some reason, he suddenly burst into tears when he heard his words.

The buzzcut middle-aged man sighed and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He stopped what he was doing and took out his phone to check the news.

When he saw the small figure in the arena poster, he couldn’t help but burst into tears once again!

He stared at the poster in a daze, not moving an inch. His thoughts had already flown back to twenty years ago, on that stormy night, when his parents were killed by the fierce beasts to protect him!

At that time, the buzzcut middle-aged man had been a martial artist who had just awakened an E-grade talent. When he encountered the beast, he had also done the same as the boy in the poster. He had felt his blood boiling as he opened his arms and fantasized about using his abilities to protect his parents.

However, the reality was that even if he went all out, he was still unable to withstand a single blow from the beast.

In the end, not only was he unable to use his abilities to save his parents, but he even relied on his parents to save him at the risk of their lives!

At this moment, looking at the young man in the poster, the buzzcut middle-aged man unconsciously recalled his tragic experience of the past.

When he came back to his senses, the screen was already wet with tears!

At this moment, the long-haired middle-aged man’s pretentious words appeared in his ears again. However, this time, he no longer found them pretentious. Instead, he made a decision in his heart.

He wanted to watch the match live! He wanted to cheer for the humans! He wanted to cheer for the high school student who had the courage!

“Dazhuang, help me apply for leave. I have something to deal with! If I can’t get the leave, just mark down that I’ve skipped work!”

When the long-haired man who was called the Dazhuang turned around, the short-haired middle-aged man had already run to the company’s entrance. He left the company without a trace of hesitation and left without looking back!

Only Dazhuang was left on the spot in a daze. He lowered his head to look at the poster in his hand and said, “That’s weird. Cheng has never skipped work for the past ten years. What’s going on today that he’s going to skip work?”

Just as he was about to apply for leave for the buzzcut middle-aged man, he saw the other party’s phone on the desk. He quickly picked up the phone and shouted, “Cheng, what’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? You forgot your phone!”

Due to the delay, Cheng had long disappeared, leaving only the phone that he had forgotten to take and the image on the screen.

When he looked at the other party’s phone, Dazhuang finally understood why his colleague who had never skipped work in ten years would choose to skip work all of a sudden even if it would bring consequences.

“Cheng, since you’re going to go watch the duel of the junior from Binhai First High, how could you not call me along?!” With that, Dazhuang picked up the man’s phone and followed Cheng out of the company and to the arena.
