Not far from the three of them, Andasu and the Liger Sisters, along with two gang members, stood together, slightly out of breath and spattered with others' blood, yet unharmed themselves.

At their feet, many people lay immobile on the ground. Besides those knocked down, there were some who showed no signs of physical injury, as if drugged.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Reed shouted through a megaphone, "Look, everyone, our Platinum Ace, participating for the first time, has exceeded our expectations, holding back with ease just as in the four consecutive Platinum Racing victories! Can he clinch the title in Flowing Silver Combat like in the races, becoming a double champion? Apart from our great Platinum King, this has never been achieved before!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh, it seems like the wolf-eared's scent is getting more adept," Zoe gritted her teeth and said.

"Her scent..." Dorothy gazed at her palm thoughtfully.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Blood Eagle, with a bushy beard and wearing a great cloak, stood indifferently, the skull emblem on his chest nowhere to be seen, and he hadn't drawn his weapon.

The four warriors beside Blood Eagle projected a steady aura. They held their weapons high, allowing the blood to drip slowly, as the surrounding fallen either suffered severe injuries or had fallen silent.

Reed said, "Let's see... Oh my, this team here is composed of the Sky Cavalry ranked as one of the top 3000—The Sandbone Group's leader and his elite members. They are indeed not to be underestimated. I heard the Sandbone Group's leader Blood Eagle is already a Tier Six powerhouse, and he's also eyeing the championship prize. Could it be that this year's combat championship will be directly snatched by the Sandbone Group, who are participating for the first time?"

As the host spoke, ALulu suddenly let out a small exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Zoe turned her head and saw the pink-haired girl pointing to a team on the field.

Five people draped in Defender Knights Order cloaks stood side by side, their hoods covering their faces. They neither spoke nor held weapons. If not for the dark wet stains on the sleeves of their cloaks, there would be no sign they had been in a battle.

"Are they the companions who brought you to this island?" Dorothy looked at those people.

"I met them during registration. I don't know why they want to participate in the combat," ALulu said quietly.

According to what she mentioned previously, these reserve knights only had Tier Two level equipment, and their Professional Skills hadn't yet stepped into the Transcendent Realm.

Moreover, they were here to track down villains in the desert, having no reason to get involved with the Combat Competition.

"Can they stand till the end in the Dueling Arena's melee?" Dorothy frowned slightly, even she felt it was a bit odd.

"Oh my, I hadn't noticed, there are three beautiful flowers blooming in this silver-white sandy field!"

Reed's voice suddenly interjected, drawing everyone's attention to the young girls, making it impossible for them to converse at ease.

By the time the girls had found their footing amidst the melee, a number of people had already taken notice of them.

"They're watching us." As gazes from all directions fell upon them, Zoe fearlessly began waving her hand towards the stands.

"Sigh." Dorothy let out a sigh.

"In a chaotic melee full of fierce and burly men, these delicate-looking girls fought to the end. Without even forming a complete team, they entered the Flowing Silver Combat—truly astonishing!" Reed shouted, "Do people want to see them make it to the end, or rather see them brutally torn apart?"

Nebis didn't lack female Sky Knights and strong women, but they were not fond of the dry and chaotic Sable Aerial Realm.

Girls daring enough to compete in savage combat at the Transcendent Realm were few and far between, and it's almost impossible to find others like these three with their shared unique traits.

The audience erupted in malicious laughter.

Zoe's friendly response was thus stalled, and the smile on her face gradually vanished.

ALulu said sternly, "I won't let that happen."

Dorothy shook her head, unabashedly displaying a look of disdain, "Take them all down."

Zoe nodded forcefully, shouting towards the host's high platform, "Just you wait!"

"Oh my, this little lady has quite the presence. Let's hope you don't end up disabled."

After roasting the girls, Reed pointed to the group of Defender Knights, "Oh oh, this combat competition is indeed strange. Just when three teams were already peculiar enough, we have guests from the Wotam Church Country here as well. Here to have a brawl, does the Goddess allow it?"

The culture of the sandland merchants has its own beliefs, and while the Wotam Church Country continues proselytizing, there's also disdain towards them, so the audience burst into mocking laughter.

The five Defender Knights remained silent and made no move.

"Alright, there are still four teams, quite a few old faces. I see you, last year's champions, the Rock Breaker Team. Sorry, with so many strange figures this time, I've just noticed you. Everyone, give them a round of applause, let's see if the Rock Breaker Team can work a miracle!"

Reed's words sparked laughter, but compared to others, the audience gave a supportive cheer.

The leader of the Rock Breaker Team, like the Platinum King, belonged to the Horned Race, possessing a very robust physique, with both hands donned in heavy, spiked metal gloves.

One of his huge horns was covered in cracks, the tip replaced with a metallic spike, while the other intact horn was embedded with some metal blades.

Some people in Nebis wear special equipment based on their physical condition, and in the Horned Race, adorning or equipping their horns is quite common.

The rest of the Rock Breaker Team also appeared very robust, instantly recognizable as formidable warriors.
