Jeremy's words caught everyone present by surprise.

Everyone here had gone through the same experience and knew that upon entering the Land of Eternal Night, no one's level would exceed 40.

With the "Dawn Break" event having started just a few days ago, even if this new player had been grinding non-stop, it was unlikely that his level would be much above 40.

Meanwhile, Black Tiger David was a level 50 sinner on the cusp of a profession awakening.

Not to mention, years ago, Black Tiger David had even fought and defeated a profession-awakened sinner of a higher level.

Given such strength, the fact that this new player dared to challenge him seemed nothing short of reckless.

Only Heber, who had witnessed Jeremy nearly effortlessly kill Crocodile Zack, knew that Jeremy wasn't being arrogant—he was genuinely confident.

Blood Tiger Hansen shook his head and chuckled, "I thought I had captured a smart one, but it turns out you're just a brute. Looks like I won't be getting any useful information from you."

"If you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!" Blood Tiger Hansen then turned to Heber and said, "Five o'clock this afternoon, at the Dawn Arena. Don't be late!"

With that, Blood Tiger Hansen ignored the reactions of the crowd and walked away.

The news of Blood Tiger Hansen's impending duel with a new player spread across the plaza within a few hours.

Suddenly, undercurrents began to stir among the various factions in Dawn City.

The reopening of the "Dawn Break" event was no secret to any sinner.

However, unlike those desperate sinners who lived by the sword and yearned for freedom, the influential figures in Dawn City had spent centuries building their wealth and status.

For them to abandon years of hard work and turn to slaughtering others for points, only to leave the Land of Eternal Night at the cost of their accumulated wealth, was something they were unwilling to do.

However, although they were unwilling to engage in slaughter, they were very keen to take this opportunity to observe what kind of beings these new players were.

Soon, it was 5 PM.

On a massive arena nearly 500 meters in diameter, made entirely of an unknown black material, two figures stood facing each other—one tall, one short.

The over two-meter-tall figure, covered in short, coarse black hair with a massive black tiger head atop his neck and several intersecting scars on his face exuding a menacing aura, was none other than Black Tiger David.

Opposite him, holding a stark white bone spear and with a calm expression on his fair face, stood Jeremy.

Below the arena, it was a gathering of the city's elite. Most of the prominent figures of Dawn City had come to witness the event!

Even the city lord's youngest daughter was seated in the audience.

This young lady, with a translucent crystal embedded in her forehead, golden hair, and golden eyes, exuding an aura of unparalleled sanctity, sat gracefully and elegantly, her curious gaze fixed on Jeremy.

Not far from her, Blood Tiger Hansen and Heber sat stiffly under the intense scrutiny of the young lady's guards, not daring to make a sound.

Joking aside, this was Nina, the city lord's most beloved daughter. On ordinary days, not even Blood Tiger Hansen, let alone Heber, a mere wandering merchant, would have the privilege of being close to her.

Only today, due to Jeremy, the new player, were Blood Tiger Hansen and Heber invited to sit near Nina.

However, at this moment, Nina's attention was entirely focused on Jeremy on the arena, and she was temporarily ignoring Heber and Blood Tiger Hansen.

Seeing Jeremy's face, so different from other sinners and almost godlike as in the legends, Nina's heart began to race.

All her life, Nina had never seen such a person outside of the city lord's mansion.

For a moment, a faint blush appeared on Nina's cheeks.

Meanwhile, Hansen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

He hadn't expected that a mere player, not even at level 40, would attract the attention of the city lord's mansion.

After hesitating for a moment, Blood Tiger Hansen spoke to Nina, "Since Miss Nina seems to favor this new player, why don't I just call off the duel?"

Reluctantly pulling her gaze away from Jeremy, Nina turned to Blood Tiger Hansen, "Are you trying to make me break Dawn City's rules and be disdained by my father?"

In that instant, an icy and authoritative aura, belonging to the city lord's lineage, emanated from Nina's radiant golden eyes.

Immediately, cold sweat began to form on Blood Tiger Hansen's forehead, despite his level being far higher than Nina's.

With a thud, Hansen dropped to one knee and said to Nina, "That's not what I meant, Miss Nina, please don't misunderstand."

Nina's cold and authoritative gaze locked onto Blood Tiger Hansen, "Whether or not you meant it, if this rare new player dies because of you, you will face punishment."

"Aren't you fond of the arena? After this duel, you can have a match with my chief guard."

In an instant, Hansen's face turned ashen.

Even though Hansen had already awakened his profession and reached level 65, making him a formidable figure in the Land of Eternal Night, he was far from invincible.

The rumors said that the Chief Guard of the City Lord's Mansion was a level 70 extraordinary awakened individual. How could Blood Tiger Hansen possibly compare to such a powerhouse?

The two levels were exactly five apart, which did not violate Dawn City's rules.

But in the end, the arm can't wrestle the thigh, so Blood Tiger Hansen could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.

Beside him, Heber hesitated, wanting to say that his brother Jeremy might not necessarily lose to Black Tiger David, but feared that no one would believe him and he would be ridiculed.

As he was deliberating whether to speak, Nina suddenly turned, her radiant golden eyes looking at Heber, and said, "You seem to have something to say?"

Towards Heber, Nina's attitude was much friendlier.

Now, Heber's reputation for loyalty and righteousness had already spread following the morning's events.

Even someone as proud as Nina admired people like Heber.

Heber swallowed hard, hesitating before he said, "Jeremy is very strong. He might not die. Maybe... maybe he'll even defeat Black Tiger David."

After he said this, Nina didn't immediately react, but Blood Tiger Hansen let out a derisive snort.

Anyway, now that he felt his days were numbered, he couldn't care less about other things. Hansen directly said to Heber, "Do you even know what you're talking about? There's a whole eleven-level difference between them! It's a miracle if Jeremy doesn't die, let alone win. You're out of your mind."

Even Nina's expression showed clear disbelief.

Seeing that neither of them believed him, Heber felt frustrated, but in Nina's presence, he dared not be disrespectful. He could only silently sit back in his seat.

On the arena, Black Tiger David stood with his arms crossed, his fingers tapping rhythmically on his arms, a faint red glow shimmering between his sharp claws. With a snort, Black Tiger David said, "Enough talk. Let's get this started."

Clearly, Black Tiger David did not consider Jeremy a threat.

At the same time, Jeremy was using The Eye of Omniscience to observe Black Tiger David.

[Black Tiger David]

[Level: lv50]

[Class: Blood Hunter]

[Attack: 175,000 - 198,000]

[Defense: 18,320]

[Skills: Blood Mark, Lethal Ambush, Blood Feast, Shadow Assault...]

[Note: Strong and agile, a shadow attribute sinner. Takes double damage from light attribute attacks.]

Seeing the note from The Eye of Omniscience, Jeremy's eyes lit up instantly. "Double damage from light attribute attacks? Let's see how many of my Judgment Blades you can handle!"

Nodding slightly, Jeremy wasted no more words. He lifted his bone spear, as if saying: Bring it on.

A vein popped on Black Tiger David's forehead. "Shadow Assault!"

In the next moment, dense shadows enveloped Black Tiger David.

With a swish, the shadows dissipated like foam, and Black Tiger David vanished from Jeremy's sight.

What Black Tiger David didn't know was that Jeremy's mental attributes had already surpassed ten thousand points.

With his mental attributes surpassing ten thousand points, Jeremy had reached a qualitative transformation.

As long as the level difference wasn't too vast, no one could ambush him.

Jeremy felt a sudden shift in his thoughts, immediately sensing an influx of energy in his shadow.

There was no need to guess. It had to be Black Tiger David.

With a low shout, Jeremy invoked, "Judgment Blade!"

In the next moment, a colossal, translucent sword, seemingly forged from pure gold, materialized out of thin air.

The magnificent giant sword, dozens of meters long, immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

An invisible pressure emanated from the Judgment Blade, causing everyone to hold their breath.

Blood Tiger Hansen swallowed instinctively, staring up at the colossal object overhead.

Not far away, Nina's eyes widened, her small cherry-red mouth slightly agape, her earlier noble and authoritative demeanor completely vanished.

Only Heber felt a surge of elation in his chest, almost wanting to shout to the heavens.

Black Tiger David was unaware that such a thing was hovering above his head.

With a fierce shout, Black Tiger David's hands emitted a crimson glow as he sprang out from the shadows beneath Jeremy's feet.

"Idiot, go to ... hell!." Black Tiger David snarled, his voice faltering as he saw the resplendent golden light.

He stared wide-eyed at the giant light sword, feeling an intense aversion to the light attribute energy emanating from it.

As Black Tiger David muttered, "What the hell is this?" Jeremy casually waved his hand.

In the next instant, the enormous Judgment Blade crashed down like a mountain.

Black Tiger David had no chance to resist, being obliterated into dust instantly.

With a clink, the only thing left on the ground was a pair of blood-red glowing beast-skin gauntlets.

A near-profession-awakened expert was thus effortlessly and unceremoniously annihilated.
