All of them did not just look down on warriors from the Hestia Continent, but also on alchemists in general as well. It was so natural to them, and those two labels stuck on Fane. Practically everyone felt like Fane was a weakling that should not even be there.
Any of the warriors in the viewing area would be able to wipe the floor with him, so Fane participating in the slaughter gambit was a joke.
"Alright, let's not focus on Fane too much. There's nothing much to discuss. It's almost time, so we should hurry up and figure out who we're betting on. Should we bet on Chris from the White Marsh Continent, or Edward from Chaos Continent?” "I've already decided long ago that my bet is on Edward. Even though Chris is in the top three of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, the two of them are from different continents. Edward's brother is the top disciple of the Nimbus Alliance, and there's no way he's that much worse.
"It's worth noting that those rankings were determined half a year ago. To warriors that are constantly improving, those rankings are no longer valid references!"
"Do you like Edward that much? I feel like he’s not that skilled. Leaving the rankings aside, even when Edward participated in inter-clan fights in the past, his performance has never stood out that much.
"Chris, on the other hand, has stood out a few times already in inter-disciple competitions and has always remained in the top rankings. Everyone can see Chris' results. For the warriors of White Marsh Continent, even wandering warriors have heard of him before."
A warrior from Chaos Continent sneered," Everyone from the White Marsh Continent has heard of Chris from the Purple Cloud Pavilion, but all the warriors from Chaos Continent have heard of Edward as well. You know, we've never heard of Chris before.
"It's impossible to compare the two continents like this. White Marsh Continent is far behind Chaos Continent in terms of overall power. The eighth-grade clans of Chaos Continent are quite a bit stronger than the eighth-grade clans of White Marsh Continent!
"We were already displeased when you used the rankings for discussion, but now you're bringing up inter-clan competitions. Edward didn't manage to stand out in them, but that's because there are so many geniuses from the Chaos Continent.
"It's nothing like White Marsh Continent; only a few of you are exceptional. If Edward was placed in White Marsh Continent, he would be even more famous than Chris!"
Warriors from the White Marsh Continent were provoked to have heard such words. Their initial calmness dissipated as the topics slowly got more serious in drawing comparisons between the two worlds.
A warrior from the White Marsh Continent immediately stood up from his seat and retorted, "Oh, please! Can you warriors from the Chaos Continent stop flattering yourselves so much? You talk about the massive difference in skill? Please, tell me how great it can be?!
"You're just a little stronger, but we'll be able to catch up in just a little while. You speak as though the Chaos Continent has already leveled up to a second-grade world. How could you not be embarrassed saying all this? What a joke!"
"That’s right. You even say that the Chaos Continent is filled with geniuses as if there are no geniuses in other worlds. If Edward didn't perform well, it's just because he's not good enough. Even in White Marsh Continent, he won't be able to stand out!"
The viewing area suddenly exploded into a flurry of debates. At that moment, it was no longer as simple as who to bet on, but protecting the honor of their respective worlds as well.
The White Marsh Continent and the Chaos Continent's warriors never had a good
relationship in the first place. Thus, the viewing area erupted with noises, and the more hot-tempered warriors were already quarreling with their counterparts.
