On the opposite side, a holographic projection of the arena broadcast was playing.
The handsome young man stood proudly in the center of the arena and declared loudly, "Those who have signed the death pact, come at me!"
Upon seeing this, the young man picked up the celadon covered bowl, slowly skimmed off the tea foam with the lid, took a sip, and then said lightly, "That's quite interesting."
The jade-like lid gently tapped against the porcelain rim, producing a crisp sound. He lowered his gaze to the tea leaves floating in the tea soup, his voice tinged with regret:
"So full of youthful vigor, what a pity..."
The official who was bowing and serving beside him quickly whispered in his ear:
"Admiral, this person is the female demon's accomplice reported by the City Defense Division. She should be... she should be one of the people who disappeared without a trace after causing a great disturbance in the border town several years ago."
The gloomy young man picked up his teacup, glanced at it sideways, and slammed the lid heavily against the rim: "That's why I said it's a pity."
For some reason, his expression showed displeasure, and his python-patterned robe gleamed faintly under the lamplight: "Remember, you must address him as the Nine Gates Admiral!"
Then, his tone suddenly turned cold: "If that female demon hadn't caused such a ruckus in the Eastern Continent and then vanished without a trace, why would I be trapped in this desolate and bitterly cold borderland..."
Seeing this, the minor official realized his mistake and hurriedly bowed, smiling earnestly, "My lord, do not worry. The blood sacrifice array you ordered has been arranged perfectly. Inside and outside the guild hall, all the people of the city, along with that female demon and her henchmen, and even the experts from all sides lured by the Sunset Bow—all have entered the guild hall."
He glanced furtively at the Nine Gates Admiral's expression, then lowered his voice and added, "Those noble sons who came to join the fun have all been forcibly repatriated. Especially Jin Bao'er from the Rongtie family; he's been swiftly sent back to his residence without any mishaps."
"Hmm~ Good servant." The Nine Gates Admiral casually stroked the gilded cloud pattern on the covered bowl with his fingertips, a cold smile curving his lips: "For the imperial court's ambitions and hegemony!"
"To awaken the fallen 'immortal' dragon corpse!"
"Let these slaves of the whole city suffer a little longer!"
At this point, the gloomy young man seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly slammed the teacup heavily on the table, making the celadon porcelain clang loudly.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Issue the order: once the blood sacrifice is complete and I achieve the 'immortal' dragon body, I will command all officers and soldiers entering the city to wear white mourning clothes for three days to demonstrate the compassionate heart of my Great Qing Dynasty!"
"Now, follow me!"
……
"Now—those who signed the death waiver, come at me all at once!"
In the center of the hall, all the contestants stood frozen, staring at the arrogant young man on the stage.
Madness!
How arrogant!
This kid is crazy!
This kid is absolutely insane!
Making everyone sign a death waiver is outrageous enough—but now they want them all to go down together?!
Not only the athletes, but also the spectators in the stands could hear it clearly through the giant broadcast screen with synchronized audio and video.
In an instant, millions of gazes froze, and countless people gasped in shock, their mouths agape in a single, clear hiss.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar erupted like a tsunami, the sound almost lifting the entire stadium's dome!
Just as Luther, his face contorted with rage, was about to launch the first attack onto the stage, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward from the Eastern Continent's civilian representative team and shouted in a booming voice:
"Young hero! Which school of martial arts do you belong to, and who have you come from—tell me your name!"
The voice carried seven parts regret and three parts urgency, and Li Pu understood that it was a well-intentioned reminder.
The opponent clearly didn't think highly of him, and even thought he would die on the stage, but couldn't bear to see such a young man lose in vain.
I don't think it's a good thing, but I feel it's a pity and I want to help.
In this place where everyone is watching, wouldn't it be a pity to die without becoming famous?
At least... this boy deserves to die a worthy death.
Having figured out the key point, young Li Pu playfully raised his eyebrows, and his kitten-like mouth twisted slightly:
"Southern martial arts styles, only three to five masters per generation—Master Chunli!"
In the audience, Chunli, a beautiful mature woman who had been stunned by her apprentice's shout of "Let's go together," suddenly felt a jolt when she heard her name being uttered clearly by her young apprentice.
She was a polymath, proficient in Hung Kuen, Wing Chun, and both Southern and Northern styles of kung fu, so her disciple could say that none of them were wrong.
Yet, under the watchful eyes of so many, the young man so proudly proclaimed her name—
A surge of scalding heat rushed to Chunli's heart, and she felt a burning sensation in her eyes. Two streams of hot tears slid down her cheeks without warning. She hurriedly raised her hand to cover them, but her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
This little apprentice who always worries her, turns out, has always been proud of her as his master.
She really wanted to tell Li Pu at that moment that she was very proud to have such a disciple!
【The 'Chun-Li Exclusive Lucky Event Series 1/3' has been triggered.】
[Exclusive rewards for this "Lucky Event" have been distributed.]
Li Pu, standing on the ring, curled his lips into a smile.
Sure enough, Master Chun-Li's exclusive reward has arrived!
[Gained new talent 'Four Symbols Breakthrough (Chun-Li Exclusive)']
[Talent Description: Master Chun-Li, knowledgeable in the Five Elements and Yin-Yang. She can utilize the Yin-Yang energy within her body to discern the weaknesses in the flow of an enemy's "fate power," inflicting extraordinary damage on enemy units.]
While the audience and contestants were discussing who Chun-Li really was...
Li Pu quickly glanced at the effects of the talent skill.
【'Four Symbols Breakthrough': Unlocks 'Resilience'. After breaking through an enemy unit's 'Resilience', the enemy will enter a weakened state of 'Qi Dissipation', and a large amount of 'Qi' damage will be dealt to the enemy at the moment of breaking through.】
[Exclusive Aura of "Four Symbols Breaking Limits": When you are present, your and Chun-Li's "Qi Force" will be upgraded to "Ultimate Qi Force," doubling its destructive power.]
He roughly understood that this was equivalent to the resilience-breaking and resilience-reducing reward mechanisms in some games from his previous life.
This is quite in line with the character setting of Chun-Li, the martial arts master, who understands weaknesses and wins by skill.
Then, the notification for the next exclusive lucky event will arrive.
[Activation condition for "Chun-Li's Exclusive Lucky Event Series 2/3": Defeat all players currently in the arena.]
Li Pu raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room like a cold lightning bolt.
Just what I wanted!
In his eyes, the weaknesses in the fate of each contestant were as clear as lines on the palm of his hand.
The kitten's mouth twisted again, but there was still no one on the stage.
"Aren't you going to come up?"
His voice was languid, "If you don't come soon, I'm really going to have to leave the field."
He paused briefly, his tone suddenly turning somber, "Just a reminder—if I were to step down, I'd have time to observe and prepare..."
"You have absolutely no chance of winning."
Damn it! This young man!
Still provoking!
The contestants in the audience were completely enraged!
"Don't cry later! Let's all go up and teach him a lesson!" Luther roared and jumped onto the stage first.
In an instant, a sea of people surged forth, with countless contestants flocking to the scene!
A cold glint flashed in Li Pu's eyes, but a barely suppressed excitement curled at the corner of his lips—
tonight,
Let's fry it to our hearts' content!
Chapter 152: Cars Showing Off the Same Child...
Almost instantly, the boy's figure was completely swallowed up by the crowd.
Elite "henchmen" from twenty-six major regions, extraordinary teams trained by families, and folk organizations with supernatural abilities... a dark mass of people surged onto the arena like a tidal wave, their killing intent almost tangible.
Alice in the audience was stunned.
With this kind of force, let alone a group fight, just the sheer pressure would be enough to crush their own "nepotism" into mincemeat!
Although I know Li Pu will be fine.
But she was already somewhat reluctant to choose her chosen one from among these people...
Representatives from various non-governmental organizations in Dongzhou turned away and covered their faces, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Those in various locations who were following the ceremony via live broadcast also unconsciously held their breath.
Chun-Li, who was in the audience, let out a scream, but it was immediately drowned out by the clamor of the crowd.
Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, her gaze blankly fixed on the vast sea of people.
It's too late... It's all too late...
Hot tears fell one by one, and she slumped down, choking back sobs.
Thinking about how he had first lost his eldest apprentice, Lifen, and now abandoned his youngest apprentice to face this life-or-death situation alone—
She felt as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart; her fingernails dug deep into her palms, drawing blood, yet she remained unaware.
What "Interpol" and "martial arts master"... all seem so pale and laughable at this moment!
I am utterly unworthy to be a teacher, much less a mother!
The moment you see that child, you should jump down to protect him!
As a result, I got angry and vain, feeling touched, acting like a complete idiot!
Chun-Li was on the verge of collapse, her hands tearing uncontrollably at her hair bun, her long hair falling in disarray, looking like a madwoman.
He hasn't been taught anything yet... No matter how clever or extraordinary the child is, this time—
"boom--!!!"
A violent golden arc suddenly exploded from the center of the arena!
The terrifying shockwave spread out as if it were a physical entity, violently hurling the densely packed crowd into the air.
Dozens of figures were thrown like dolls with tremendous force, crashing heavily into the protective barrier at the edge of the arena, some even embedding themselves deeply into the wall!
The first to be hit was the bald, burly man, Ruther—he was like a nail driven into the wall by a tremendous force, deeply embedded in the stone wall, unable to move an inch.
Even worse, because Li Pu's attack was combined with the unique breaking effect of "qi energy", his bones were shattered inch by inch, and he had already fainted. He was only barely maintaining the illusion of standing by the inlaid posture.
The arena was now completely empty.
Smoke and blood mist slowly descended like a curtain, and the figure of the young man calmly stepped out from the chaos.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, his fingertips tapping his elbows almost imperceptibly.
Those once affectionate little peach blossom eyes, which used to look at dogs with such tenderness, now resembled icy stars, with a chilling golden light emanating from the corners of their eyes—the lingering power of destiny burning brightly deep within their pupils.
His clothes fluttered without wind, and the area around him was spotless.
As the broadcast camera zoomed in for a close-up, he suddenly lifted his eyelashes.
Golden light burst forth from the depths of his pupils, cleaving through the dust and mist like a sharp sword!
"Who else!"
The announcement was like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the venue.
The entire audience was horrified, and an uproar erupted instantly!
Some gasped, some jumped to their feet, and many more stood frozen in place, speechless.
However, a hint of dissatisfaction crossed Li Pu's mind.
This attempt at being 13 wasn't quite convincing enough.
According to the typical plot of wish-fulfillment novels he was familiar with from his previous life, a foolish villain should have jumped out, proactively cleared out the fodder for him, and then arrogantly hurled insults at him—
Then, with a casual flick of his finger, he caused the other party to kneel down with a thud.
This interplay of contrast and emphasis is what elevates the overall sophistication.
pity……
Master Chun-Li's "exclusive lucky event" struck without warning, and none of these "small fry" in the arena could be spared...
