Next was the most crucial part of this ceremony. The eight Heavenly Kings on the stage needed to choose one person from the entire venue as their opponent to display their strength.
It could be the Four Heavenly Kings of the two regions on the stage, or it could be the guests of the various regions in the stands.
As long as they could display their strength, it didn't matter if they lost or won.
If one was confident enough in their own strength, they could challenge someone who had become famous earlier and was strong enough. They didn't necessarily have to win. However, if they were to fight with a strong opponent, it would be easier to highlight their own strength and let everyone watching the battle feel the strength of the challenger.
Of course, if they became famous earlier and were recognized by everyone, they didn't need to prove their strength, so they didn't need to be challenged.
For example, Heavenly King Ju Zi, who was already a little old, was recognized for her strength.
In fact, this challenge was prepared more for the four newly appointed Four Heavenly Kings of the Chengdu region. At this moment, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Guandong region were the former Four Heavenly Kings of the Guandu region. They didn't need to show their strength at all.
"This old one won't participate in the competition between you young people. I give up the challenge." Heavenly King Ju Zi leaned on a wooden cane and said with a smile.
In terms of strength and age, Chrysanthemum Heavenly King was the oldest among the eight Heavenly Kings on the stage. Moreover, they all acknowledged her strength, so no one objected to her words.
In fact, the Chrysanthemum Heavenly King's appearance here was only because some of the Alliance officials had convinced her to participate. Otherwise, with her fame and strength, there was no need for her to participate in such a laughable event.
With that, Heavenly King Ju Zi disappeared in a flash.
Next was Fighting Heavenly King Sheba's turn.
"Haha — I won't get involved in this matter." With that, Sheba stomped hard on the stage. His powerful physical strength directly crushed the floor tiles on the stage.
He jumped into the stands and sat in the VIP seat with Heavenly King Ju Zi, who had disappeared earlier.
Sheba also had his own pride. He wouldn't show his strength by challenging someone weaker than him. The only person who was stronger than him was Heavenly King Ju Zi. Since Heavenly King Ju Zi didn't want to participate, he also gave up this challenge.
Actually, he still wanted to test Du's strength. After all, when Du had just become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he had challenged him crazily. Later on, after recognizing his strength, the two of them had yet to fight.
However, letting a senior like him challenge a junior would give others the wrong impression that he was bullying the weak. If Du wanted to fight with him, he would naturally challenge him. If Du did not want to, he would save himself the trouble.
Sheba also gave up on the challenge, which disappointed the audience in the arena.
It was understandable that Heavenly King Chrysanthemum had given up on the challenge. Heavenly King Sheba had also given up on the challenge. This disappointed the audience, who had not seen Sheba display his strength for a long time.
It was the third ferry's turn.
Du looked around the arena and knew that when it was his turn, he could no longer choose to give up the challenge. Otherwise, the audience would think that the Four Heavenly Kings were too arrogant and it would cause dissatisfaction.
Moreover, Du was not the Four Heavenly Kings who had become famous earlier than Chrysanthemum and Sheba. At this moment, he was in the limelight, so he needed to show more of his strength.
When he challenged the previous Four Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly King Challenge Competition, he was criticized by others for going easy on him. Although he showed a little of his strength in the Heavenly King Exhibition Competition later on, because the opponent was too weak, the strength he showed was not enough to prove his strength.
Du looked around in the stands. He paused on Sheba for a second and Aoki for three seconds before he finally made a decision.
"Since it's a challenge, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Guandong region, you naturally know more about our members. Therefore, my challenge target is … Heavenly King Kona!" Du shook his cloak and announced his challenge target.
"Wow —"
Finally, they could see the battle between the Four Heavenly Kings. The audience cheered. They did not care who was going to challenge who. They were here to watch the competition between the Four Heavenly Kings. Even if it was just a show, it was still their favorite.
"Pfft —" At this time, Aoki, who was sitting in his seat, heard Du's challenge target and spat out all the water in his mouth.
It splashed onto Daigo and Hibiscus Chinensis who were sitting next to him.
Daigo glared at Aoki and took out a handkerchief to wipe his brand-new black suit. "Isn't it just Du challenging Kona? Do you have to be so agitated? "
Daigo knew part of the grudge between Kona and Du, or rather, Kona's one-sided resentment towards Du. However, he did not know as much as Aoki.
"You don't know, but ever since Kona lost the Heavenly King Challenge Competition, he has always kept Du in his heart. Before he became a Heavenly King, he challenged Du more than ten times in a row. The Alliance gave the vacant Heavenly King position to her and recognized her strength.
However, after becoming the Four Heavenly Kings, Kona became even more aggressive and challenged Kona more frequently. This is not the first time he has asked me to give him advice.
This time, under the eyes of the whole world, Du challenged Kona again … Tsk tsk … "As he spoke, Aoki showed a pitiful expression.
"Then, won't the relationship between Big Brother Du and Sister Kona become more and more strained?" Hibiscus Chinensis asked curiously.
"From this, you can see Du's brilliance." Aoki's smile grew wider.
The three of them looked at him and waited for an explanation.
"It's very simple. Heavenly King Chrysanthemum and Heavenly King Sheba gave up on the challenge because they are strong enough and have been Heavenly Kings for a long time. They don't need such a challenge to prove their strength. Du has only been one of the Four Heavenly Kings for a little more than a year and has not had a single battle to prove his strength. Therefore, under such circumstances, he must choose someone to challenge.
The first to be eliminated would be the four newly appointed Heavenly Kings in the city. They have not proven themselves yet, so they can't prove Du's strength.
The next to be eliminated would be Heavenly King Chrysanthemum. Although Heavenly King Chrysanthemum's strength is not obvious, even an idiot would know that it is because she is strong. There is no need for her to show her true strength. Du would be courting death if he challenged her.
Therefore, he made a choice between Sheba and Kona. In the end, he chose Kona. "Aoki explained to the three curious babies.
"Then why did he choose Kona and not Sheba? Heavenly King Sheba is stronger. If he wins, he might be able to rise to the Second Heavenly King. If he loses to Kona, he might be demoted to the Fourth Heavenly King. "Daigo asked.
"That's because he knows that even if he chooses to challenge Sheba, Kona will challenge him when it is his turn. After two battles, the chances of him losing to Kona are higher.
Moreover, even if he really did lose to Kena in this challenge, not many people would criticize his strength. They would only think that he was humbly going easy on his opponent, and that this was not his true strength. After all, this was an exhibition match.
Taking a step back, even if Du loses to Kona, won't it be good if he is forgiven by Kona after losing the match? "
From Aoki's words, one could feel how meticulous Du's thoughts were.
