Pandora's words caused many of them to pause for a moment.
"Don't be so surprised. Everyone is doing this. It's just that you're the fastest."
Pandora waved her hand, indicating for many not to be too surprised. However, her next words caused many of them to freeze in place. "You've been targeted by the upper echelons."
The upper echelons. This was an unreachable term. Many of them had worked so hard just to obtain information from this circle. However, it seemed that he had already achieved part of his goal.
"Is it good or bad?"
Many of them did not know if their hard work would be truly rewarded. However, things had already developed to this point, and there was no time for hesitation.
"I'm not sure either. However, for a demon, being targeted means that you're still valuable. If you're not valuable, there are only two outcomes."
Pandora's expression was indifferent, but her words were unusually cold. "Ignored, or turned into dust."
"Thank you for the reminder."
Many did not know what else to say and fell into silence.
"You're very smart. However, it seems that you still don't know why I'm looking for you."
"It seems that I'm not smart enough."
"No, it's because you're smarter than I thought. If you know, I'll kill you at the first moment."
Pandora's gaze shifted slightly to the side. The corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She was very feminine. However, the last half of her words were unusually sharp.
Many's expression turned serious. He did not know whether Pandora's words were a threat or a sigh. He immediately connected it to the information that the succubus had sent to Madam Vasaki. He then narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to use me to enter the upper echelons?"
"It's too late to kill you now."
Pandora turned her head. That smile contained too many meanings.
Many heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had the same goal and interests as him. No matter who would achieve it in the end, at least there would not be any danger at the moment.
"Carmont's Tooth." Pandora suddenly spoke. "If you have the time, consider understanding the story about him."
"Bernas?"
Many of them had spent a lot of time and effort to understand the political structure of this continent. This seemingly useless second-in-command of the Empire was in an awkward position. Could it be that they were being targeted by him?
"Of course, if you really want to enter the upper echelons, becoming the highlight of Baveng's celebration is the fastest shortcut. Otherwise, if you approach Bernard step by step, the time you need to spend might be a thousand times longer than the time you spent to get here."
Pando stretched her back, and the bat wings on her back spread out to both sides. The revealing leather clothes unreservedly squeezed her plump body out of shape, but it also made her look even more seductive.
"Then you …"
"Don't you know why I called you here?"
Many people raised their eyebrows and thought about the meaning of her words. If she became the spotlight, how could she become the object of attention from the upper echelons?
The answer seemed to be … to team up.
"Since you're here, I would like to invite you to spend a beautiful night with me. It's not too much to ask, is it?"
Pandora walked straight towards him, but she felt as though something was shrouding her along with her footsteps!
What is this?
The ability of a succubus?
The power of the Rule resisted the invasion of this invisible force, and Pandora didn't seem to mind Many's current resistance. After standing in front of Many, this succubus reached out and pulled on her clothes that didn't have much to begin with … As a few pieces of cloth fell off, Pandora, who was overflowing with seduction, appeared in front of Many in a completely nude state.
Motherf * cker …
Many people held their breaths. Even Flora had never been this direct before. This was practically tempting them to commit a crime!
"Old bastard!
What's going on?! "
Many really didn't know what to do. He suddenly realized that his power of the Rule seemed to be unable to resist Pandora's undulations that were like endless waves. In a moment of desperation, he directly called for help from Nairíos in his mind!
"You're still too young. You can't even withstand this little temptation?"
Nairíos appeared beside Pandora with an amused expression. He still had his arms crossed, but he looked much more relaxed. "It's just a test."
These words instantly made Many understand what he was facing. He had two choices. To obey or not to obey … If he did, this succubus would probably have countless ways to let him experience what it meant to be 'controlled'. If he didn't obey, he would still have this cooperative relationship with her.
Of course, it was a cooperative relationship with precaution.
"I think it's better for me to go back and think about what to do next."
Pandora stood up and looked straight at the naked Pandora. Pandora's expression was momentarily shocked, but it soon turned into a playful one. "Of course, if you're free, I welcome you to accompany me here at any time."
As she said that, her hand inadvertently slid across her lower abdomen. Her finger lightly brushed past the side of her lips. In short, after this set of actions, Many sometimes felt a wave of blood rushing uncontrollably to his head. The only thing worth rejoicing about was that he still bit his tongue hard, tensing up the 'shield' around him that was constantly being eroded. Then, he turned around and walked out.
Although it was said to leave, it was almost like running away.
Looking at Many leaving figures, Pandora did not have that seductive look just now. It was as if she had become a different person in an instant. The succubus gently put on a layer of gauze and stood there quietly. The moment she turned around, her low murmur was almost undetectable.
"What a different guy."
There was a faint fluctuation in the air. The unique aura of a Tenth Order powerhouse was completely restrained.

"There's still time to sign up."
Many narrowed his eyes after listening to Jia Luo's report. He sketched on a piece of paper and then said, "Is there a repetition of individual hero competitions?"
"No, all the competitions are separated separately. After the start of the Baveng celebration, each competition is held separately. The entire arena will not hold multiple competitions at the same time."
"Then sign up for everything that can be signed up."
"…"
The quill in Jia Luo's hand froze in mid-air. He looked up at Many and did not know what to answer.
Many knew that it was unbelievable to say this, but he understood that he had to do it.
"M … Sir?"
"Sign up for everything."
"Okay."
Jia Luo reached out to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and began to fill in the long list —
"Who is participating in the five-on-five competition?"
"Me, Madam Vasaki, Yuna, Gruer," Many raised his head slightly and continued, "and Pandora."
…
The Baveng celebration would be held in three days. Many changed into the gorgeous gowns of the past and appeared with a group of people at another entrance to the arena.
To be honest, there were so many people who wanted to use the arena event to attract the attention of Her Majesty the Empress. Many of them felt that they were like fish in a river when they stood in this vast sea of people. They felt that they were insignificant characters.
Of course, he never felt that he was a big character.
Standing here alone, Many waited for the review. There were too many people participating in this competition. If thousands of people were to compete one by one, it was estimated that they would not be able to fight for half a year. Therefore, before the celebration began, there would be a so-called "review". Of course, in the eyes of many, this was only a "preliminary".
The queuing time soon ended. Many participated in the "one-on-one gladiator competition" review today. To be honest, these guys from the Abyss were really serious. They actually recorded the data of all the contestants. The so-called data was height, weight, appearance, and even the length of certain body parts … Of course, the latter would only be reported when participating in another competition. Many thought that they were not stud horses and did not need to participate in that kind of competition.
"Next!"
To Many's surprise, the so-called test did not include actual combat. The first round of the test turned out to be punching a huge stone pillar. There was a red crystal at the top of the stone pillar. When everyone hit it, a red light would flash, and the judgment seemed to be based on the brightness of the crystal.
In front of Genie was a guy who was more than three meters tall and looked like a giraffe. That long neck really gave Genie the urge to use Krillin's Blade to slash at it. However, this guy seemed to be very arrogant and looked at everyone with disdain. Of course, after a long time, Genie found out that it was because this guy's neck was too long that he looked down on everyone. Naturally, he had an involuntary arrogance.
When it was his turn to go on stage, this guy swung his "sandbag-sized" fist along with his neck. After a crisp sound, this guy decisively covered his broken forearm and walked away.
"Unqualified!"
The short referee raised a sign and looked at Many expressionlessly. "Next!"
Many sighed speechlessly. Then, he moved his arm and looked up at the red crystal above. His movements were unusually gentle, and he slapped it on the stone pillar with a "Pa" sound.
Just as the surrounding laughter rang out, the red crystal at the top suddenly emitted a dazzling light. It looked like a laser that made people unable to open their eyes. Then, it shattered with a "Ping" sound!
"Learn to control your power. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
Nairíos walked past with his hands behind his back. He did not seem to be surprised or surprised by what happened here. The referee showed the proof of "passing". Many shrugged and walked out among the so-called "strong men" from No.1 High School who were scared out of their wits. His steps were relaxed.
To be honest, Many was never a high-profile person. However, what happened just now was really an accident. He was just trying to use the rules to transmit all his power through one contact. Who knew that there would be an accident like the first time he used this power to speak …
After the first round of examination, Many quickly became the inconspicuous one in the vast crowd. However, he controlled his power better in the following tests. It was not until the fourth round of examination that Many saw the content of actual combat. This was the final examination. After three consecutive matches, about a hundred contestants would be selected and become the official contestants of Baveng's celebration.
