Chapter 2

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound in unison. When they saw Zhang Cheng, who was red-faced and breathless, the expressions on their faces became incredibly strange!

"He is just a... common person filled with righteous indignation."

The others said with sorrowful expressions.

They were soldiers of the Dragon Nation; why would the people fear death? But to be conquered and destroyed by such bizarre rules was something no one could accept!

Zhang Cheng also noticed the gazes everyone was casting toward him, but he felt no timidity.

Although that sentence had been shouted out by accident, was it not also what Zhang Cheng truly felt in his heart?

After his gaze returned to clarity, he spoke with resounding force: "I am willing!"

"I am willing to fight for the Dragon Nation!"

At this moment, the Dragon Nation had reached its most critical juncture, and everyone was hoping that someone would stand up to confront the foreign monsters!

There was no shortage of people willing to shed their blood for the country, but to step onto the arena, the most important thing was strength!

The leader looked solemnly at Zhang Cheng and said in a deep voice: "Young man, can you really summon our Dragon Nation's sages to fight?"

"If it is just a burst of hot-blooded passion, I admire your courage..."

But before his voice had even faded, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from the body of Zhang Cheng, who stood opposite him!

The golden light expanded instantly! It actually enveloped everyone in the surrounding area!

Amidst the shocked and suspicious gazes of the crowd, a tall, sturdy, and unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared behind Zhang Cheng!

"This is..."

Upon seeing this image, everyone was so shocked they were speechless!

This divine statue stood a full two meters tall, clad in colorful battle armor, wearing a dragon helmet, holding a battle halberd, and radiating brilliant golden light from head to toe!

His face was even covered in divine light, creating a sense that made it impossible to look directly at him; one could not meet his gaze and could only lower their head!

He stood quietly behind Zhang Cheng, just like a guardian spirit!

The suddenly erupted golden light immediately attracted everyone's attention. When the crowd looked toward Zhang Cheng, they were instantly deeply drawn to that towering, majestic figure!

"Oh, oh, can someone from the Dragon Nation actually summon ghosts and gods now?"

"Look at that guy; although he's shiny and golden, he looks about the same as a human. His presence is far worse than that of the Da Xiong Empire; I bet he's not very powerful!"

There were many foreigners around, and upon seeing Zhang Cheng's summoned creature, most of them showed mockery and disdain!

The Divine Ghost Killing Arena had descended for such a long time, and other countries had long since mastered this skill, but what about the once-arrogant Dragon Nation?

They couldn't even summon a Horse-Face or Ox-Head! It was no wonder people from other countries looked down on them!

However, foreigners did not understand Dragon Nation history, but how could the people of the Dragon Nation, who flowed with the blood of the true Huaxia dragon, not know?

When they saw that flash of golden light, everyone's eyes filled with hot tears!

"That is... that is the Divine General Shen Tu!"

Someone recognized the image of the divine general and immediately shouted his name!

In the folk legends of the Dragon Nation, there were the divine generals Shen Tu and Yu Lei; the two brothers were both skilled at catching ghosts!

If evil ghosts came out to harass the common people, Shen Tu and Yu Lei would go to capture and subdue them!

Later, to ward off ghosts and evil, people painted portraits of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on their doors. The one on the left door was called Shen Tu, and the one on the right was called Yu Lei. In the folk culture of the Dragon Nation, they are known as the Gate Gods.

The gods who only existed in myths and legends had now actually been summoned!

And the leader closest to Zhang Cheng, upon seeing Shen Tu with divine light flowing around him, was so excited that his whole body couldn't stop trembling!

"Hahaha... good! Good!"

"My Dragon Nation is saved, my Dragon Nation is saved!"

He broke into an incredibly joyful smile, and tears even welled up in his eyes as he said these words!

However, those tears were quickly washed away by the rain.

Zhang Cheng also felt the divine statue behind him, and he took a deep breath.

Actually, he could summon even stronger ghosts and gods, but if it was just to deal with that beast on the arena, Shen Tu was absolutely enough!

"Let me handle the next battle."

Zhang Cheng said with a calm gaze.

"Please!"

The leader said excitedly. At this moment, all the standby personnel behind him stepped aside to clear a path for him, the scene incredibly solemn!

As Zhang Cheng took a step, Shen Tu behind him also moved, like a god descending to earth!

The barrier light curtain rose and then fell.

As soon as he stepped inside, Zhang Cheng smelled the pungent, sky-high stench of blood!

This was the blood of their Dragon Nation soldiers!

"Good, very good."

Zhang Cheng said through gritted teeth.

The blood of his compatriots ignited his anger!

Looking at the opponent not far away, there was not a trace of retreat in Zhang Cheng's eyes!

Seeing someone come onto the stage, Anwei Huacun Lang couldn't help but sneer: "Is this your summoned creature? Why is he dressed like someone in an opera? Hahaha!"

Zhang Cheng sneered: "You uneducated barbarian actually know about our national essence? You've really opened my eyes!"

Hearing this, Anwei Huacun Lang was furious!

"Just a lowly Dragon Nation monkey, yet you dare to bark!"

"He Tong, go and tear him to pieces for me!"

"I don't want to see a single intact part of his body!"

"Roar, roar, roar—!"

He Tong let out another roar and lunged directly toward Zhang Cheng!

The speed was so fast that it felt like the surrounding rain had frozen!

However, Zhang Cheng felt no fear at all upon seeing this.

The moment He Tong moved, Shen Tu behind Zhang Cheng also moved!

His previously closed eyes suddenly opened, instantly erupting with incredibly dazzling light!

The monster He Tong's manic claws roared as they tore toward that golden light, but it actually produced the sound of metal clashing!

"Clang, clang—!"

Everyone looked at the arena in horror, not knowing what had happened!

He Tong's face was also filled with horror; it seemed unable to accept the fact that the opponent hadn't been pierced by its sharp claws.

Amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, the golden light receded, revealing an incredibly exquisite weapon!

It was a golden halberd, a halberd specifically used to enslave ghosts and monsters!

The golden halberd was carved with incredibly delicate patterns and inscriptions. Even after blocking the opponent's strike, the talisman patterns on the halberd seemed to rotate, making people dizzy!

"Oh, what is that thing? It actually blocked He Tong's bizarre strike!"

"Is it a stick?!"

The live broadcast room exploded instantly when they saw this scene, turning into a state of righteous indignation!

How many years had it been...

Finally, someone had not been instantly killed by that monster after stepping onto the stage, and had even blocked He Tong's fatal blow!

Could he be the person of destiny for the Dragon Nation?!

"That weapon looks like a halberd!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a golden halberd!"

There were clearly many people in the broadcast room familiar with ancient Dragon Nation cultural knowledge, and they recognized the extraordinary nature of that golden halberd at a glance!

"Legend has it that only Shen Tu is equipped with a golden halberd. Could it be..."

"Our country can summon Shen Tu now!"

"Hahaha, Heaven truly blesses our Huaxia!"

"Heaven bless Huaxia!"
