Long Yi looked around, and all the spectators were extremely excited. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he assumed they were cheering for him, right?

No, actually, this is what they were saying.

"Damn! I spent twenty credits to see this crap?"

"I thought that nameless guy was supposed to be legendary, but he's just too weak at the one-star level!"

"Exactly! Do we even need to see those few moves? Invisible assassination, that's so outdated!"

However, two people in the crowd remained silent. They were completely shrouded in black robes, their faces obscured, with only a golden hand visible.

One was a left hand, the other a right hand.

Those familiar with the Dragon God Space knew that they were the famous Golden Hands duo.

"Truly a bunch of fools, they have no idea how worth it those twenty credits are."

The Golden Left Hand said.

"Yeah, this nameless guy figured out the one-star clown's movement pattern with just two moves. I don't believe he has a dog's nose to track his own blood trail."

The Golden Right Hand said.

"But the one-star's last move isn't that simple. Even I stumbled the first time. This nameless guy made an accurate judgment in such a short time, his composure is truly terrifying. Who could he be?"

The Golden Left Hand's gaze was fixed on the nameless figure, but this fighting style was completely unfamiliar to him. Moreover, each battle in the one-hundred-credit space, could it be a first-year?

A first-year, indeed, a bold and reckless Long Yi has recently emerged. This oddly named guy has been quite prominent recently. However, he didn't believe it was Long Yi, as he thought Long Yi's fighting style was very rough, completely different from this extremely calm person.

The Golden Right Hand pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be Lei Zhen from the seventh grade? This kid loves to pretend to be a newcomer. Every time he enters the next grade and his credits reset, he pretends to be a newcomer. He also likes hand-to-hand combat. The seventh grade is considered the official entry into the military. Since he was promoted to the seventh grade, he has been on missions outside and only recently returned. His chances are higher."

The Golden Left Hand nodded and said, "If it's Lei Zhen, the one-star clown didn't lose unfairly. When Lei Zhen goes berserk, even the two of us together can't stop him. However, the fighting style doesn't match. This nameless guy is much more composed than Lei Zhen."

The Golden Right Hand chuckled and said, "Whether it's him or not, we'll find out tonight. We'll get him to drink three bottles of strong liquor, and he'll spill everything. Then we'll know."

At that moment, a deep voice came from behind them.

"You two don't need to bother, I'm right here."

The two quickly turned around and saw a burly man sitting behind them, his eyes fixed on the nameless figure gradually disappearing in the arena, showing a look of interest.

The light flickered, and the three returned to their private space.

"You bastard, you've forgotten your old friends since entering the seventh grade. No news for half a year!"

The Golden Left Hand and Golden Right Hand pulled down their hoods, revealing identical faces, pale and delicate, making it impossible to tell their gender.

Lei Zhen laughed heartily and said, "I wish I could have news. This half a year has almost worn me out! The activity of monsters has become more frequent. The Dragon Cavalry I'm in has been mobilized almost every day. My hammer dragon can't even breathe fire anymore, always complaining! Now, we've finally completed the encirclement. Oh, by the way, in the next few months, the military may release a series of school tasks for those above the second grade to help clear the remaining monsters from the war. Don't miss out, do as much as you can."

"Pfft, we brothers have no interest. Risking our lives for a few gold coins and a tiny bit of credits, it's faster to stay here."

The Left Hand and Right Hand said almost simultaneously.

"You brothers? Hahaha!" Lei Zhen laughed mysteriously. "But this time, you'll be at a great loss if you don't participate. This time, it's not just about gold coins and credits. This time, it's about merit!"

What the hell!

The two brothers' eyes widened like bulls'!

Merit!

The empire has developed a system to calculate merit to encourage soldiers on the battlefield. The empire includes all military activities in the merit system and converts them into numerical values. After accumulating a certain amount of merit, one can immediately exchange it for military honors. You can apply for a promotion, get free equipment, and even have the empire buy land and build a house for your family in your hometown, taking care of your elderly and children until you retire, returning home in glory!

This is why, in war, all soldiers fight with all their might. In their view, killing enemies, even if not for the country, at least earns them a lot of gold coins!

The Left Hand and Right Hand brothers were not short of money.

What they needed was glory.

As descendants of noble families, they never boasted about their identity and wealth, as those were inherited. They hoped to earn merit on the battlefield, which was their greatest glory!

Of course, earning merit is not easy. Every enemy, every horse, and every piece of enemy equipment captured can earn a certain amount of merit. There are many soldiers and few enemies, and enemies are not endless. Moreover, since the peace period of the seven kingdoms, large-scale battles are extremely rare. To earn merit, one must join the Third Army, but unfortunately, the Third Army looked down on them, saying they lacked sharpness!

Damn, where do we lack sharpness?

And now, the coveted merit has appeared.

"I'm telling you, this is a secret, even the emperor hasn't been notified yet. Don't tell anyone, or you'll be the ones who suffer."

Lei Zhen warned.

"Don't worry, don't worry, this will definitely not be known by a fourth person."

The Right Hand hurriedly said.

Lei Zhen nodded, sat down, and took a deep breath, then slowly spoke.

"In the past six months of the encirclement, the empire even mobilized the four White Dragon Knights. In the first month alone, the White Dragon Knights were deployed four times! Oh, I always thought the White Dragons were nothing special, but when the White Dragon Knights took action, I realized that we so-called Dragon Knights are like moths in front of them! By the way, I heard the White Dragon Knights also came to the opening ceremony recently?"

"Yes, all four White Dragon Knights came. Elsa is truly beautiful, as if she glows!"

The Golden Left Hand's eyes sparkled.

"Right, especially Elsa. At just sixteen, she already has eight dragon marks. The monsters that plagued us for seven days were frozen into ice sculptures with just one strike from her. With a swing of her Dragon Slayer Sword, all the ice sculptures turned to fragments. Oh, and a few days ago, she changed into a pure white tight-fitting soft armor for her last mission! Her figure! Tsk tsk! I bet that tight-fitting soft armor is from the elves! And she also has a Dragon Slayer Sword that's so dazzling, it must be an elven work! Too gorgeous! It's a perfect match for her!"

Lei Zhen rarely showed such an expression, but it was clear that, like all men who had seen Elsa, he was completely captivated by her beauty.

The Golden Right Hand couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Haha, big guy, we didn't see the white tight-fitting soft armor, but the dazzling Dragon Slayer Sword was given to her by a first-year student, a big guy taller than you! And that day, that big guy almost killed the third prince in front of the emperor! Not to mention, he forced the emperor to say 'thank you' before returning the half-dead third prince to the emperor!"

"Damn, so outrageous? Is he the son of the First Army Commander?" Lei Zhen looked incredulous.

The Golden Right Hand continued, "Wrong, this kid is the son of a blacksmith, and both his parents are dead. In the early days of the school year, he beat up the entire second-year Air Force. After that, Kaeron's useless granddaughter, Elaine, suddenly became powerful and went to beat up the entire second-year Army. Now we know that he and Kaeron's granddaughter have a very good relationship. The peeping Wesley is with him, and it seems the fat and thin members of the Elvins family are also close to him."

At this point, the Golden Right Hand paused and said with a teasing tone, "I don't know what Elsa's tight-fitting soft armor looks like, but I do know that the little girl Elaine has been wearing a silver tight-fitting soft armor around the school recently. And it seems she, like Elsa, has been this way since meeting Long Yi."

Lei Zhen listened, paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You little guy, you're not thinking of making me, a seventh-grader already in the military, bully a rookie, are you?"

The Right Hand laughed heartily, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking."

Lei Zhen grinned and laughed, "Alright, if bullying is what it takes, isn't it natural for seniors to bully juniors?"

The one-star returned to the private space, and the two-star and three-star looked at him.

"I did my best, I did my best, but I'm still not his match. I've discovered my shortcomings. I think it's time for me to leave here for a while. I need to find my true battle!"

After saying this, the one-star nodded to the two-star and three-star, and without waiting for their response, slowly disappeared. They all understood that this time, if the one-star couldn't find his true strength, he wouldn't return.

"Next time, it's my turn."

The two-star said softly.
