However, they were different when they were fighting Panther. They were all real attacks.
Nonetheless, those attacks were well-measured. They were only meant to tire him out, not kill.
Figuring out their intention, Philip no longer held any expectations for this coliseum. After all, many things were
arranged by the coliseum. Even if someone succeeded in the challenge, it was most likely someone from the
coliseum.
They just wanted to garner attention and attract people to place bets.
Of course, Panther would not gain the upper hand in such an unfair battle and soon ran out of breath. However,
Philip knew Panther would not come to any harm.
Since his life was not in danger, Philip did not need to help Panther.

his escort. He had not seen the upper floor yet. He did not even know where the passage was, so he would not let
Panther die just like that.
Panther was already sweating by now. Obviously, he was not in good shape. If he continued to fight like this, he
would be exhausted soon.
At this time, the other challengers ignored him and turned to attack each other.
A few moments later, all of them pretended to be hurt and fell to the ground. Only Panther was left standing.
The host said, “Well done, congratulations to this warrior for gaining the right to challenge the alpine beast.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other challengers were taken away.
Philip got up and slowly walked to the registration counter.
If he needed a legitimate way to enter the battle, he just had to sign up. However, under such circumstances, Philip
guessed that the other party would not let him sign up.
After all, the betting handicap was already out. If he entered halfway through, others would think it was shady and
unfair. However, Philip wanted to expose their shady and underhanded operations today.
When Philip finally walked to the registration counter, the person in charge of the registration looked at Philip in
surprise and said, “Sir, may I help you?”
Philip pointed to Panther in the stands. “I want to enter the challenge too.”
Hearing that, the man smiled.
“If you want to enter the challenge, you can wait until the last round of the challenge is over before registering.
After all, he has already gone through the fight with the other challengers, so it’d be unfair for you to go up like
this.”

Philip said, “Why is it unfair? The few of them worked together to tire my friend out, leaving him no time to rest
before challenging the alpine beast. By doing this, you might as well just tell everyone that you’re here to cheat
their money.”
The man immediately scowled upon hearing Philip’s words. He did not expect Philip to see through their scheme at
a glance. However, they could never admit it because once they did, it would be tantamount to telling everyone
that everything was a lie and all of them were in cahoots.
Hence, the man decided not to tell the truth no matter what.
He said, “Sir, I have to warn you to take responsibility for your words. If you say that, I have the right to get the
coliseum guards to escort you out.”
Philip did not know that his action had been discovered by the person in charge of the coliseum, and he was now
staring at Philip closely.
With a wink at the host, the host said loudly, “Excuse me, everyone, it seems that we have a new challenger joining
the fight now. In that case, why don’t we play something more exciting?”
