After returning to the resting area, Chu Chen closed his eyes to rest, with no intention of watching the matches.
However, the staff seemed to disagree, as a voice loudly announced, "Number 677 will battle Number 735."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly opened his eyes; number 677 was Wang Lu.
Wang Lu was extremely excited; he initially thought he would be eliminated in the first round but unexpectedly encountered an opponent weaker than him.
Chu Chen saw through Wang Lu's thoughts and solemnly reminded, "Don't underestimate your opponent. Those rankings were just for preliminaries; no one knows if they've hidden their true strength. Be careful not to capsize in the gutter."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Wang Lu's face instantly disappeared. He nodded to Chu Chen and said, "I understand." With that, he headed toward the arena.
Wang Lu's opponent was a contestant from Golden Radiance City. Chu Chen took several breaths to find his name on the list.
