The application for the challenge across levels was submitted.

The receptionist at the registration desk repeatedly confirmed the application before believing that someone would actually choose to challenge across levels.

At Han Wu's persistent request, the receptionist uploaded the application.

The higher-ups of the Blood Arena approved it and selected a demigod from the waiting participants to be Han Wu's opponent.

A battle between a Divine Creature and a demigod, this match wasn't publicized but still caused a huge stir.

The audience gathered like cats smelling fish.

"I've heard of this Locust kid, he's a newcomer who's only been in the Blood Arena for just over 30 days. He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he dominated in the Divine Creature competition. Too arrogant. Let the demigod teach him a lesson. I'm betting on the demigod to win."

"Demigods have a higher Divine Core level, can load higher-level sacred relics, and they have a Divine Position, allowing them to use divine spells. Who gave this Locust the courage to challenge a demigod's authority?"

"I think this Locust kid is just too confident, thinking he's invincible in the Divine Creature competition. I checked his stats, and he's lost three matches."

...

The audience scoffed at Han Wu's challenge to the demigod, thinking he was overly arrogant.

Some viewers said this match was just an easy way to gain Divine Power.

When placing bets, they heavily wagered on the demigod to win easily.

Han Wu's odds suddenly rose to 1 to 100.

As a participant in the competition, Han Wu was intrigued when he learned of his odds.

He couldn't gamble as a contestant.

But Tian Wen could.

Han Wu instructed Tian Wen to bet 10 million Divine Power on him to win.

For a moment, Tian Wen couldn't tell who was the teacher between the two of them.

Even for a demigod, 10 million Divine Power was no small sum.

But for Han Wu, it seemed as easy as 1,000 Divine Power.

Regardless, Han Wu's confidence in himself was a good thing.

After placing the 10 million Divine Power bet for Han Wu, Tian Wen squeezed out another 5 million Divine Power from his savings to bet on Han Wu winning.

This 5 million Divine Power represented Tian Wen's trust in Han Wu. Even if he lost, Tian Wen would feel the pinch but could bear it.

But if he won, the reward would be 500 million Divine Power.

For a demigod, 500 million Divine Power was no small amount.

After placing the bet, Tian Wen hurried to Han Wu's side, patting him on the shoulder: "Han Wu, all of the teacher's hopes are on you, make sure to win! When you win, the teacher will buy a sacred artifact to reward himself!"

Han Wu casually replied, "Thank you, teacher."

But then he realized.

Tian Wen buying a sacred artifact to reward himself had nothing to do with him, Han Wu.

He got excited for nothing.

Ignoring Tian Wen, Han Wu used the Divine Realm login device of the Blood Arena to enter the Divine Realm again.

After upgrading his Divine Core, he hadn't had the chance to add sacred relics.

Currently, the sacred relics loaded in his Divine Core were two.

Level 2 Sacred Relic: Law of Gluttony (Broken) and Level 1 Sacred Relic: Toxic Mist Orb.

Han Wu also had four decent quality Level 1 sacred relics and two Level 1 skill crystals on hand.

Just as he was about to load these into his Divine Core, True God Yuan Zhong sent a message asking if the Source of Sacred Relic for today had been refined.

Han Wu handed over the 100 refined Sources of Sacred Relic and then asked, "You said before that sacred relics below level 4 can all be found, right?"

Yuan Zhong replied, "Master, I have plenty of stock of sacred relics below level 4 in my Divine Realm. If you need any, just let me know."

"Alright, I need powerful Level 2 sacred relics next, preferably with poison, earth, dark, or fire attributes," Han Wu said unceremoniously.

Yuan Zhong replied, "One moment."

Soon, a package of 50 Level 2 sacred relics was sent over.

Han Wu opened it, checked them out, and found that all 50 Level 2 sacred relics had excellent attributes.

He couldn't help but marvel again at how wealthy a True God was.

With better options, Han Wu wouldn't bother with those Level 1 sacred relics.

He carefully selected two sacred relics from the 50 that matched the Locust attributes.

Level 2 Sacred Relic: Earthfire Lava Orb. It has earth and fire attributes, enhancing the defense and resistance of the followers, and boosting their recovery.

Very suitable for the Perdition Locusts evolved from the Locusts after a life leap.

Level 2 Sacred Relic: Shadow Nail. A dark attribute relic, once loaded into the Divine Core, it allows compatible followers to learn the Level 2 skill: Shadow Nail. Shadow Nail pins the opponent's shadow, restricting their movement and achieving a paralyzing effect.

Highly compatible with the Dark Curse Locusts.

He loaded the two Level 2 sacred relics into the Divine Core.

Instantly, within the Divine Realm, the Locust followers were hit by a surge from the source of life.

Some Locusts didn't change at all.

But some Locusts experienced physical mutations.

80% of the Perdition Locusts were affected by the Level 2 Sacred Relic: Earthfire Lava Orb, their outer shells turning fiery red and becoming thicker.

76% of the Dark Curse Locusts were influenced by the Level 2 Sacred Relic: Shadow Nail, learning the Level 2 skill: Shadow Nail.

The strength of the 4 billion Locusts in Han Wu's Divine Realm received a massive boost once again.

Now Han Wu was even more confident about the upcoming battle.

Before he could check the Locusts' data in detail, a prompt sounded.

[Participants, please enter the arena to prepare]

In the next moment, Han Wu was transported into the arena.

This arena was much larger than the one used for the Divine Creature competition, spanning a full 10,000 square kilometers, with both length and width measuring 100 kilometers.

Cheers from the audience came from all directions.

"Elephant Lord, crush him!"

"Elephant Lord, show your demigod strength."

"Locust, you better hold on for three seconds, or I'll lose big!"

...

Various shouts reached Han Wu's ears. Most of them had no confidence in him.

Standing opposite Han Wu was his opponent for this match, the demigod codenamed Elephant Lord.

Elephant Lord wasn't wearing a mask, with golden hair, fair skin, muscular limbs, and standing very tall, at least 2.2 meters.

Compared to Han Wu, he looked like a small giant.

"Today must be my lucky day, to meet a rookie who doesn't know his limits in the Blood Arena. Rookie, are you ready to die with your followers?" the demigod Elephant Lord said arrogantly.

He didn't even consider Han Wu a worthy opponent.

Han Wu didn't respond.

He preferred to let his actions speak.

"Rookie, I admire your courage to challenge a demigod. But courage isn't strength. Today, I'll let you understand the terror of a demigod," the demigod Elephant Lord declared loudly. "Come forth, my Giant Mammoth Legion!"

Behind Elephant Lord, a massive portal appeared.

Leading the charge was a hero lifeform: the Giant Thunder Mammoth, standing ten meters tall, five meters long, its body crackling with tiny electric sparks.

Following the Giant Thunder Mammoth were 250 Giant War Mammoths, each nine meters tall, all Transcendent lifeforms.

The rest were all elite lifeform Giant Mammoths, totaling 740,000.

As the Giant Mammoth Legion advanced, the ground trembled.

The audience supporting Elephant Lord screamed shrilly.

The demigod Elephant Lord basked in the audience's enthusiasm, waving to them before turning to Han Wu, "Rookie, it's your turn! Do your best to entertain me."
