The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1182

Led by the guards, Damian and Ban 23 returned to the arena. Fortunately, although their residences were some distance from the other contestants, their distance from the arena was not much different.

However, since the two were only teenagers, their running speed was naturally not as good as the other contestants, so by the time they arrived at the scene, a large crowd had already gathered.

These people are either like normal people or about two or three meters tall. The two short people seem a bit like chickens among cranes, just referring to their height.

The venue wasn't just filled with players; quite a few people had also gathered in the audience. Although it wasn't as packed as it was during yesterday's regular matches, it was still quite remarkable considering the current time.

It seems that these abbots also have a strong curiosity about the new rules.

Damian and Ban 23 had just finished thanking the guards who had brought them when they heard the name of the Supreme One again.

"Fellow contestants and my subjects, after discussion between my son and me, we will make a slight change to the arrangements for the competition today. Warriors, you will each choose one of the weapons I provide to participate in the competition this afternoon."

"There's only one rule added. The afternoon's matches will still be one-on-one elimination tournaments. Start choosing your partners now!"

With a tap of his staff, the Supreme Ruler unleashed a dazzling blue light that shot into the arena, transforming into a bamboo wall covered with countless weapons upon touching the ground.

The bamboo wall really had everything: swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, clubs, whips, maces, hammers, claws, and even rakes and walking sticks.

Moreover, almost every weapon has different versions, enough to arm an army, not just for the contestants to choose from.

It's true that there's nothing you can't name that isn't hanging there. Class 23 was overjoyed to see the gleaming weapons on the wall and started recording with his camera, clearly preparing to film a special program.

However, given his limited experience, he could only name swords, axes, and knives; he couldn't even distinguish between clubs and sticks, so he had to trouble Damian to explain them to him.

Damian was much better than Squad 23, but he still couldn't recognize all the weapons. However, based on his learning experience, it wasn't difficult for him to know how to use some of the less obscure weapons.

Considering that Class 23 had virtually no knowledge of martial arts, Damian recommended that he use blunt weapons such as clubs, maces, or hammers, although for the average person, using such blunt weapons well is more difficult than using sharp weapons.

However, due to the powerful alien heroes in Omnitrix, maximizing the power of a brick-flying creature is also a considerable threat.

However, Ban 23 was arrogant and disliked those seemingly cumbersome blunt weapons, so he hesitated to approach the swords and spears.

Finally, because he had listened to Yang Le's instruction on the Four-Handed Overlord yesterday, he specially chose a heavy sword the size of a door panel, something that even giant fighters wouldn't choose.

Because of his knowledge of the Four-Handed Tyrant's immense strength, Ban 23 specifically chose this largest greatsword. Damian realized that between usability and suitability, the former chose to show off.

Not only that, but Class 23 also transformed into a four-armed overlord and picked up the greatsword with the handle in front of everyone.

This greatsword, which everyone avoids like the plague, is like a feather in the hands of the Four-Handed Overlord. He can easily handle it with one hand, drawing frequent glances from the contestants and cheers from the audience.

This greatly satisfied Ban 23's vanity. Looking at the former's arrogant attitude, Damian felt a wave of shame. However, the choice of this greatsword was truly excellent, gaining Damian's approval. At this weight, weapons basically don't require matching martial arts skills; this thing would be a meat grinder on the battlefield.

Basically, it's a matter of getting a scratch or a fatal bump. The contestants present all changed their expressions when they saw Ban 23, clearly none of them wanted to be in the same group as him.

Damian felt the same way. If he could use the Soul Sword openly, he thought he could put up a fight. However, he didn't think the low-purity N metal ring could help him at all.

Putting his wild thoughts aside, Damian seriously began to choose his main weapon for the next match, and in the end he chose a katana that was similar to the one he had used before.

By this time, everyone had made their choices, and the Supreme Name spoke again.

"Alright, warriors, in the afternoon's competition, in addition to using the weapons you have chosen as your main weapons, we will not prohibit you from using any hidden weapons such as throwing knives that you carry. But remember, you must never apply poison or use curses."

"This is taboo!" the Supreme Lord said coldly. "If anyone breaks the rules, the most severe punishment will await you."

After the rules were announced once again, the Supreme Name announced that the competition could be disbanded, and the players had a morning to familiarize themselves with their weapons. The competition would start promptly at 1 p.m.

Looking at the time, Damian wanted to call Ban 23 back to his residence, but the latter refused the suggestion.

Since it wasn't a competition yet, the arena was reopened after the Supreme Lord announced his disbandment. Many spectators, filled with respect for the contestants, went into the arena and chatted with them.

The people under the Supreme Lord's rule were very restrained in accepting gifts. They did not do anything outrageous in the face of the contestants who were essentially meditating. Apart from the fact that there were too many people and they surrounded the contestants, they did not do anything more aggressive.

Of course, even when the contestants were surrounded, the audience knew to keep a certain distance from them, and Damian could only marvel at the good local customs.

However, those who were surrounded were all top contenders for the championship, like Ban 23. He was surrounded by a huge crowd, even pushing Damian aside.

Seeing that he couldn't get into the human wall, Damian could only shake his head and leave alone. Class 23 seemed quite content with this situation and probably wouldn't blame him for leaving him alone.

Ban 23, however, was completely unaware that Damian had left. He was laughing heartily while providing fan service until someone came up to him.

"Clap clap clap!"

The crisp applause caught Class 23's attention. He turned around and saw the Supreme Ninja who had somehow walked up to him.

"To be able to lift such a heavy greatsword, you are truly an extraordinary warrior." The Supreme Ninja's tone was sincere, leaving no room for criticism.

"Oh?" Ban 23 responded indifferently, still remembering the unpleasantness of their first meeting.
