The audience's comments went unheard by Wu Ling himself.
She appeared quite calm when she slipped back into the red team's private room.
They showed no signs of dejection or discouragement despite the defeat.
Saki Sekiguchi then offered her a jokingly comforting remark:
"It's okay. Sister Ling's score is at the bottom, which will help us take up one of the elimination spots in the team."
Wang Ling glanced at him sideways, but the overall atmosphere was quite relaxed.
And then...
[Challenge Match #8:]
[Orange faction "Du Jin" challenges Red faction "Jiang Yi"!]
Upon hearing this hint, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up.
Immediately afterwards, his figure appeared on the arena.
Inside the private room, Saki Sekiguchi analyzed, "It seems the orange camp has seriously analyzed who in our camp failed to defend their title."
"Cong Le thinks that Jiang Yi failed to defend his title, so he challenged you, Sister Ling."
"Du Jin thinks that it's because you, Sister Ling, failed to defend your title, so he challenged Jiang Yi."
"They're treating you two like pushovers!"
Wang Ling looked towards the arena, saw a small, thin figure opposite Jiang Yi, and smiled: "I've dealt with this Du Jin before."
"He knew I wasn't good enough for a one-on-one fight, so he should have been able to guess that I would fail to defend my title."
Saki Sekiguchi also looked towards the arena and shook her head slightly: "But he didn't expect Jiang Yi..."
The audience members also looked on in astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Holy crap? The orange faction challenged Wang Ling and then challenged Jiang Yi? What?!"
"Looks like they were also trying to compete for the grand prize, what a pity..."
"Having ambition is a good thing, but unfortunately, the approach is wrong!"
On the challenge stage, you can't hear the audience's comments.
However, Du Jin learned from Cong Le that Wang Ling had no points.
She was the one who failed to defend her position in the red camp.
This made Du Jin feel somewhat relieved.
This proves that his judgment was correct.
Jiang Yi has points on him.
As long as he wins the challenge, he can plunder Jiang Yi's points!
but……
Their opponent is Jiang Yi, who has shone brightly in the arena!
Dujin looked visibly nervous.
He took the initiative to speak to Jiang Yi:
"I don't have time to play in the Colosseum for now, but I should be able to get ten wins in one life."
"Of course, I don't mean to look down on you."
On the contrary, I have great respect for you as an opponent.
That's what they say, but it's a bit like trying to hide something obvious.
Jiang Yi only realized this belatedly—
Those truly top-tier prodigies seem to look down on the "grassroots prodigies" who rose to fame in the arena.
Because most prodigies seem to first become famous elsewhere, and then prove their strength again in the arena to solidify their reputation.
Those who frequent the Colosseum are mostly "grassroots" or "middle-class" people of humble origins.
The truly elite races don't really look down on them.
This Du Jin was clearly of superior race and didn't think much of Jiang Yi, who had become famous in the arena.
It is precisely because they look down on someone that they say "I don't look down on them."
Jiang Yi laughed, looking completely unconcerned.
The whistle blew, and the game began.
The whistle blew again, and the game ended.
[Challenge Match 8: Jiang Yi wins!]
[Congratulations to Jiang Yi for plundering Du Jin's points!]
This reminder echoed in everyone's minds.
Meanwhile, another notification sounded separately in Jiang Yi's mind:
[Ding! Congratulations on gaining a special privilege: Sneaky Thieves!]
[Sneaky Stealing: Designate one player and randomly steal one of their privileges for your own use!]
Good guy!
Isn't Jiang Yi's luck a little too good?!
In the first two rounds of the activity, he only scored a total of 64 points.
To be precise, 40 out of 24 points came from his teammates.
During that period, he did not trigger any privileges even once.
However, by the third round, almost every time the points increased, a new privilege was triggered!
And this new privilege...
To be honest, the results are rather random.
Because you never know what privileges you might randomly steal from your opponent.
Furthermore, if you use it too late, the opponent may have already used up all their privileges, leaving you with nothing to steal.
However, if used well, this privilege can definitely disrupt the opponent's rhythm!
