Kaspinder never knew that he was so afraid of pain. He remembered that when he was only three or four years old, he was already a child who would not cry even if he fell and broke his knees. From a very young age, he already knew that crying was a sign of weakness.

In the end, when Xu Jun applied the Holy Spirit Potion on his broken arm … Kaspinder almost howled.

"Holy sh * t —!!!" He even cursed. _ (: 3/∠) _

Half an hour later, Kaspinder, who was already soaked by the storm, became a drowned rat once again.

Xu Jun went out to call for water and threw him and his clothes into the bathtub. Then, he asked John to help him wipe his body.

Then, he came out with a pile of black stuff.

"I scraped it off his arm. It can be used as an alchemy material in the future. It's very rich in dark elements."

Xu Jun shook his head. "Look at you, you prodigal woman. When we get back, I'm going to open your treasury and see if you have anything good in there."

The prodigal woman, Roshyank The Devil, nodded repeatedly. She took the "alchemy material" from Binder that Xu Jun had put aside and put it into her space ring. No matter what it was, it was from someone else. Why would Xu Jun carry it around?

Jess, Elder Yuan, and the others were still sitting in the living room. Today's meeting obviously would not end prematurely because of Kaspinder's news. It would only make them more nervous.

Everyone felt that some kind of war was about to break out, and some kind of conspiracy was brewing. Gods, humans, orcs, demons, and many other forces had complicated relationships, and they were all crying out in pain under the claws of an invisible dark demon.

In the end, they waited until now for a scene where the Demon King and the Hero were flirting. _ (: 3/∠) _

What the f * ck are you talking about? Xu Jun, why is your mouth so poisonous?

When Kaspinder recovered a bit and walked out, everyone could clearly see that although his face was paler than before, the pressure of being ready to die had finally disappeared.

He smiled gratefully at Xu Jun — it seemed that he only pursed his lips slightly. This guy was not good at expressing his feelings.

"Xu Jun saved my life. I will never forget this kindness." The thirty something year old grand magus solemnly said, "In the following matches, I will do my best to protect all of you to express my sincerity."

At this moment, Kaspinder looked like a mountain, steady, proper, and the best companion.

Xu Jun was moved, but he still refused him righteously. "Don't be like this, Kaspinder. Believe me, we will all come back safely."

The young hero thought for a moment, opened his backpack, and took out all kinds of equipment and potions. At this moment, the hero was filled with the spirit of sacrifice. He seemed to want to give up everything for everyone's survival.

Xu Jun took out one item after another. "This is the best Light Eagle Sword, which increases damage against dark creatures by 20%. The Phoenix Breastplate, which increases defense against dark creatures by 20%. Oh, and this, a diluted version of the Sacred Elixir. Be careful when you use it, don't overuse it. This stuff can easily pollute the environment."

Everyone in the hall was moved to tears. Even Jess couldn't help but think that Xu Jun was a rare kind person. Where else could you find someone with such a spirit of sacrifice?

Xu Jun continued. "Wait, don't forget. Those who take the items, write down what local specialties you have on this piece of paper. I won't ask you for gold coins, but we will barter. When the competition is over, we will settle the accounts, okay?

— — Elder Yuan, your clan produces furs. Do I remember correctly? "

— — What happened to being a hero?

'What's wrong with this businessman?!'

By the time the equipment and materials were distributed, it was already midnight. Xu Jun stretched lazily. "Go to sleep. We will familiarize ourselves with it tomorrow morning. Don't worry about breaking it. The quality of the equipment is very good. Don't worry about it."

There was a group of people in the hall, and even Jess couldn't help but wear a magic iron bracelet on his wrist. This thing could absorb a magic attack from a grand magus, and it could also passively block Sheep Transformation, Frog Transformation, and many other control spells. Its combat effectiveness was very good.

Everyone seemed to be reluctant to wear it, but they didn't want to take it off after putting it on.

Not to mention anything else, Xu Juncun's equipment was really comfortable!

Why did it fit so well?!

It was as if they could perform better than usual!

Xu Jun was very pleased with himself. What do you know? He collected all these good things all over the world in order to defeat the most powerful person in the world at that time.

But now that this person was sitting right next to him, he didn't need to defeat him anymore.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep. We will prepare for the day after tomorrow. The competition will start the day after tomorrow."

...

It rained all night. The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Everyone on the street said that it was a good omen.

The martial arts competition would be held the next day in the arena outside the city. Six hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Golden Flag was not yet a Golden Banner. There was a king who was addicted to fighting and had no interest in ruling the country. He was cruel and loved bloody games, so he built this arena.

Although it was called an arena, it looked more like a castle from the outside. The cylindrical exterior had changed over the years, and the walls were a bit dark. The interior was decorated a bit like some of the stadiums in the modern world where Xu Jun lived. There were rows of spectator seats around it, separated by the VIP area and the contestant area.

The arena was slightly lower than the ground outside, and the area was very large. It was square.

In addition, there was also a safety passage, a commercial area, and a dining area.

The safety passage was next to the toilet with a big sign. If you couldn't find it, there would be waiters with sword and saber badges to lead the way.

As for the commercial area and the dining area, of course, they were together.

There were many small shops in the commercial area, where the audience could buy small cheering flags and the clothes of the forces they supported.

The martial arts competition had become a fixed event after Grace Day, and it had developed into a complete business chain.

Starting from the last day of God's Grace Day, which was today, to one month after the Fighting Conference, the entire Golden-Flags Empire would be filled with the "Fighting Conference Craze". Vendors would be hawking their battle suits in the streets and alleys, and some people even imitated some signed battle suits and sold them at a high price.

The news media and poets also attached great importance to this event. Every year, there would be a lot of works about the martial arts competition, such as predicting the results of the competition, cheating of certain contestants, and exclusive broadcasting of the competition entering the city.

Most people couldn't afford to buy tickets to watch the competition, so they could only follow the martial arts competition through this method.

For gambling houses, the martial arts competition was a good opportunity to make money.

The Golden Banner didn't advocate gambling, but it was obviously something that couldn't be controlled, so the people above also turned a blind eye to it.

Ordinary small gambling houses among the people opened their bets, and some big underground gambling houses attracted more big customers. They were usually backed by a big family, and when they opened their bets, they would deliberately release some news, such as the family patriarch had heard the relevant people say that this time the Sand Scorpion Tribe and the Dragon Eagle Tribe were going to form an alliance, and Serpentis had angered the public and were going to be unlucky … Finally, in order to make a gimmick, they would come up with "star contestants" and "dark horse contestants." They would pull out the brilliant results of Kaspinder and the Pope last year, and then pull out the new dark horse, Xu Jun, and praise him, causing people to place their bets.

"Speaking of that Xu Jun!

He's really amazing! "

A gambling house even directly hired a bard to sing and play at the door to announce, "He's done a lot of great things at such a young age!

He had single-handedly exposed the conspiracy of the Dark Shadow Society in Mundama City. He had also fought against the Orc bandit group in the north. He was even involved in the Black Gryphon serial murders that everyone had heard of a few years ago. He had even challenged the Demon King!

He's not dead yet!

He's the one and only candidate to win the championship of this martial arts competition! "

On the other side, the competitors of this gambling house also started to play the same game, "Look at your faces!

What do you mean by challenging the Demon King? Who knows if he really went to challenge the Demon King?

Kaspinder!

The champion this time will still be Kaspinder! "

As long as there was a conflict, there would be a show to watch. Originally, it was just two gambling houses hiring people to create hype, but in the end, for some reason, there was a conflict between Kaspinder's fans and Xu Jun's fans. The former had a strong foundation, while the latter suddenly rose up, and the conflict was actually very lively.

Then, fans of the other contestants also appeared. Perhaps the higher-ups didn't want to be too biased … In short, even Serpentis had supporters.

"Xu Jun is nothing!

Our Lord Cesar is really powerful!!! "

On the street in front of the market, a young man wearing a small cloth snake ornament on his head and another young girl were arguing until their necks were red.

The young girl looked like a maid from a rich family. Not to be outdone, she put the small basket on her arm on the ground and poked the young man's nose with her finger, "You don't support the humans, but you support the sea snake!

There's a problem with your position!

You're not politically correct!!! "

"You have ulterior motives!"

"Shut up!

You traitor to the humans! "

Of course, the argument ended with the little maid's victory. The young man's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry, "Xu Jun's supporters are all unreasonable like you!

Even if I don't support Cesar, I won't support him either!

I'll support Kaspinder qaq! "

After saying that, he tore off the small cloth snake ornament on his head and threw it on the ground, running away quickly.

The little maid, "… Don't regret it!!!"

Damn it, how can there be such a blind and stubborn person!

What's so good about Serpentis!

The little maid carried the basket and walked home until she reached Xu Jun's house in the Second Ring Road, "Lord Xu Jun, you must be the champion this time!

That Serpentis Cesar … Hmph! "

Xu Jun had just finished his breakfast and was studying his spiritual medicine.

Although Kaspinder didn't have to continue suffering from the corrosion of the dark elements, he had been holding on for such a long time and was mentally exhausted. Now that Xu Jun was feeding him, he recovered some of his former vigor.

However, in the eyes of Keke, Steamed Bun, and Rance, Kaspinder was a little scary. When he was in high spirits, he seemed to be glaring at everyone. After wearing his gold-rimmed glasses, he had the solemn air of an instructor.

When the three children saw Kaspinder, they scattered like birds and beasts.

Only Alice snorted fiercely when she saw Kaspinder.

Kaspinder wouldn't argue with the little girl, but the three children looked at Alice as if they were looking at a hero, "How dare you snort at him!"

Alice's back was facing Xu Jun, and her little face suddenly fell. She was obviously a young girl, but now she had a hint of an old granny, "Three young masters, don't be so silly. No matter what, Lord Kaspinder is still someone else. We can't let him steal Lord Xu Jun's prestige."

After saying that, she left behind the three children who didn't know what she was talking about and walked away with heavy footsteps.

On the day before the start of the martial arts competition, many people were still wondering who would be the champion between Xu Jun and Kaspinder. There were even fanatical fans of both sides arguing and fighting. On the second day, when the martial arts competition really started, the atmosphere became solemn.

Whether it was the fans or the contestants, they all calmed down and waited for the actual battle.

That morning, at about nine o'clock, the arena officially opened. The new leaders of each race brought their contestants to the arena lounge and prepared to enter the arena.

"The Pope and the Emperor aren't here yet?"

"Not yet."

"The Snow Lion Tribe isn't here yet either, right?"

"Not yet either."

"That's strange …"

Although only the humans and demons knew about the God of Darkness, the other races roughly knew that there might be some problems in this martial arts competition. They needed to be extra careful.

Among the crowd, only the First Priest of the Serpentis and the first warrior of his tribe, Cesar, were still as unrestrained as before.

"Cesar, relax. Since the humans don't care about their battles and haven't shown up yet, your chances are even greater.

Let me see, who else can be your opponent?

The powerful Dragonhawk?

The Desert King, Sand Scorpion?

Hmm? "

As he spoke, the First Priest of the Serpentis glanced around. His eyes were so cold that it seemed like knives were hidden in them. The Shaman of the Sand Scorpion Tribe and the Shaman of the Dragonhawk Tribe obviously heard him, but they didn't want to pay attention to him. They pulled a few old men and women who were familiar with them aside to talk.

The Serpentis had always disliked people, especially this year. However, everyone was used to it and couldn't be bothered to get involved with them.

Just then, two beautiful news reporters walked in for an interview. The first one to interview Cesar was to ask him how he was preparing for the competition.

Cesar narrowed his eyes and smiled strangely like their priests. "Not as well prepared as the humans …"

He licked his lips and was about to say some arrogant lines to get back at the losses he had suffered before.

At this moment, the door of the lounge was opened again.

Cesar said, "The human contestants haven't arrived yet, and they're asking us to wait for them. They must be too confident …"

As he spoke, he realized that the media reporters who had received a lot of money from the Serpent Tribe didn't continue to look at him. Instead, they were staring blankly in another direction.

"Indeed … Indeed, they're very confident …"

For some reason, the Pope and the Emperor didn't lead the team this time. Instead, the two human contestants directly led the team into the arena.

Xu Jun and Kaspinder led Elder Yuan and Keke behind them. The equipment on the four of them … was this equipment!!!

It was just a martial arts competition, and they were dressed like this … Even the commoners who didn't know anything about fighting would be full of confidence, right?

Could it be that they were going to slay a dragon?

The author has something to say: Today, I watched some TRPG videos and realized that this kind of tabletop game is really fun.

If Junjun the Brave and Xixi Demon King were to play … It would probably be:

Xixi Demon King wanted to climb onto Junjun the Brave's bed, but Xixi Demon King passed a Luck check and failed. Hence, Xixi Demon King fainted on the ground with a small floral quilt.

Even the author's heart began to ache.

Also, I suddenly realized that the next book I wanted to write, "The Villain's Family Whitewashing Plan", wasn't accepted by many people … Comrades!
