Hearing Zhao Yueru's exclamation, Bai Qingxue—who stood nearby clad in silvery-white battle armor like a valkyrie—couldn't help but look over as well.
"This..." Bai Qingxue was also slightly taken aback.
The name Night Fang was virtually unknown in the Star Moon Kingdom.
But Bai Qingxue knew very well.
If it hadn't been for Night Fang's help back then, defeating Cao Chenghua would have been truly impossible.
One could say Night Fang's strength was formidable.
But being strong and actually fighting in the Dark Arena were two entirely different things.
It had only been a short while since she last saw Night Fang, and yet he had already become a team competitor—it was truly shocking.
What kind of place was the Dark Arena?
It could be called a gathering place for the Divine Realm's elite—even the leaders of second-rate guilds had no right to come here, and only first-rate guilds received a handful of spots.
Although Zero Wing had risen to prominence in the Star Moon Kingdom with overall strength on par with a first-rate guild, it was still unknown to the wider world. After all, the Star Moon Kingdom was merely one kingdom within the Divine Realm—even if they received an invitation, it would be months away at the earliest.
Yet Night Fang had joined a team directly, which was a far higher bar than even getting in as a spectator.
"Qingxue, look—it's not just Night Fang. Even Zero Wing's higher-ups are all here." Zhao Yueru quickly spotted Watercolor Rose and the others following not far behind Shi Feng.
In the great battle at Stoneclaw Mountains, every major guild had gained an entirely new understanding of Zero Wing's upper echelon strength.
While Black Flame had been the one to turn the tide against the Seven Deadly Sins, lasting so long against their expert team and suffering only minimal casualties in the end was already an extraordinary feat.
In particular, Watercolor Rose, Fire Dance, and Ziyan Liuyun were each capable of holding their own against a sub-leader of the Seven Deadly Sins. That level of strength was nothing short of remarkable.
Snake of the Body had a recording of the battle as well—Bai Qingxue had personally requested it from Black Flame.
Although she knew it wasn't exactly proper, Bai Qingxue had been desperate to see how that fight had unfolded.
The clash between the Seven Deadly Sins and Zero Wing's upper echelon was arguably the pivotal battle that turned the tide at Stoneclaw Mountains, and at the same time, the most peak-level team confrontation in the entire Star Moon Kingdom. How could such a battle not be captivating? For any expert looking to hone their combat skills, it was an invaluable treasure—which was why Bai Qingxue had specifically sought out Black Flame for a copy.
"This Black Flame." Bai Qingxue watched the entire Asura team and saw that every single member belonged to Zero Wing, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She couldn't shake the feeling that Black Flame had been toying with her all along—she hadn't even considered Zero Wing worthy of attention back then, but the reality told a very different story.
Dark Arena teams were not something you could simply acquire. Without deep connections and powerful backing, the major world-class financial groups would never acknowledge you. The fact that Zero Wing as a whole could participate was proof enough that they were no mere flash in the pan.
Only now did Bai Qingxue understand why Zero Wing had dared to stand up to the representatives of the Open Source financial group.
While Bai Qingxue was lost in her reflections, the mood on the other side of the spectator stands was far less pleasant.
"Guild Master, all of those people are..." Purple Eyes nearly popped her eyes out of her head when she saw the Zero Wing contingent walking into the arena.
