The boy's hand holding the crystal card stayed above the betting table, trembling constantly, and his eyes were fixed on the phantom numbers floating above the arena.
Those numbers represent the odds of the battle between Ling Xiao and the demon soul master nicknamed Soul Reaver, and they are constantly changing.
Oh no, to be precise, the number on Soul Reaver's side has not changed, it has always been one, but the number on Ling Xiao's side keeps racing, until the number stays at "one thousand". .
Odds of one thousand to one.
It seems that no one is really optimistic about Ling Xiao. Almost everyone is willing to bet a hundred crystal stones to earn a hundred crystal stones, but no one is willing to risk losing a hundred crystal stones to earn a hundred thousand crystal stones.
In their opinion, betting on Ling Xiao to win is a sure loss. If you can earn one hundred crystal stones, you will get one hundred crystal stones in return. There is no point in fighting for the illusive one hundred thousand crystal stones.
"Is there anyone who hasn't placed a bet yet?" The referee is a gentle middle-aged man who looks polite, but everyone knows that no one in the arena is a good person. This referee is just trying to get him. His cruelty is just buried under his gentle surface.
The young man gritted his teeth, stared straight at Ling Xiao, and spat viciously: "Forget it, let's take a gamble."
Swipe, the young man quickly swiped his remaining 200,000 crystal stones on the betting table. This time, he bet on Ling Xiao to win.
"Okay, it's time for betting. Now, today's yellow-level fighting competition officially begins." With the referee's gentle shout, his figure immediately disappeared from everyone's sight with a hiss.
Li Yuanchong's heart trembled slightly. It seems that this referee's cultivation is not weak. A person with this kind of cultivation can only be a referee in the arena. This shows how powerful the boss behind the arena is.
Facing a young and unfamiliar face, Soul Reaver's eyes narrowed instinctively. He did not have any contempt for Ling Xiao, because he who has been in the arena for a long time knows that any contempt for the enemy will It may lead to your own death.
Soul Reaver has earned crystal stones in many arenas in the Demonic Soul Master's territory. This time he came to the arena in Zimo City to earn crystal stones, and today was also his last competition.
As long as he can earn enough crystal stones, he can go to that San Mo's cave to propose marriage and marry that San Mo's beautiful daughter.
Therefore, this made the Soul Reaver pay more attention to it, and he would not allow himself to be careless in the slightest.
However, when his usual opponents saw him, they couldn't help but rush over and wanted to kill him several times. Why did the young man keep standing still and looking at him with a smile on his face? Could it be that he was so sure?
Under Ling Xiao's gaze, Soul Reaver's spirit became tense for no reason, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he did not dare to take action easily.
People in the stands watched the two men standing still and couldn't help but booed: "Fight quickly, fight quickly."
"Soul Reaper, where has your bravery gone?"
"Kill him, Soul Reaver."
Most of the people on the field were betting on Soul Reaver to win, so there were voices of support for Soul Reaver everywhere, making the young man even more nervous.
Li Yuanchong said lukewarmly: "It seems he is right. Children really cannot gamble and cannot afford to lose."
The young man glared at Li Yuanchong fiercely, said nothing, and continued to cast his gaze on the two people on the field, praying secretly in his heart that Ling Xiao must win.
The stalemate between the two was finally broken by Soul Reaver himself. In the end, he couldn't hold back this inexplicable nervousness. He roared wildly and danced his fists rapidly, mixed with yellow soul power, crazily. Smashed it towards Ling Xiao.
Since he is here to practice, Ling Xiao will certainly not use his cheating tools, but will fight with his own strength.
Facing the Soul Reaver's attack, Ling Xiao also used Haotian Sect's close combat skills to fight with the Soul Reaver.
Anyone with a discerning eye would recognize Ling Xiao's boxing skills at a glance and couldn't help but roll their eyes: This is a freak that came out of nowhere. A demon soul master can actually use the boxing skills of a divine soul master.
You must know that the most direct consequence of forcibly practicing skills that do not match the attributes of gods and demons is to self-destruct and die.
And this kid actually used the Haotian Sect's boxing skills without any signs of misfire. What a monster.
However, they did not continue to dwell on whether Ling Xiao was a monster or not. The fighting atmosphere that had aroused on the field attracted all their eyes and attention.
"Bang bang bang..." As the fists of the two people exchanged, the yellow soul power rippled, and the ripples spread out from the place where they collided, smashing the surrounding ground into dust.
The battle between Ling Xiao and the Soul Reaver is different from the secular novels. It is impossible for two people of the same level to use a unique move at the same time.
Using trickery without knowing the details of the other party is definitely a recipe for death.
The two of them are now using the most basic boxing skills to test each other's strength. They know that even yellow-level people are divided into many types, and the difference in strength is huge.
After a few minutes of fighting between the two, Ling Xiao easily learned the approximate combat power of the other party: a yellow-level demon soul master who practiced four souls at the same time.
The Soul Reaver, on the other hand, was always wondering about Ling Xiao's level during the fight with Ling Xiao, because every time he increased the power of his punches, the opponent's strength would also increase accordingly, until he used Ling Xiao's level without using any special skills. In the strongest state, the opponent's strength will also remain at this level.
That means that the opponent's strength is still somewhat reserved.
"It seems that it won't work without using special skills." There was a hint of ferocity in Soul Reaver's eyes. When Ling Xiao punched him, his body suddenly split into two and turned into two phantoms. Attacking Ling Xiao from the left and right.
"Is it just such a low-level skill?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He used his Heavenly Eye Technique to see where the Soul Reaver's true form was.
Snap, Ling Xiao casually stretched out two fingers and clamped the wrist of the phantom attacking from the right with incomparable precision. In an instant, the two phantoms merged into one and became the real body of the Soul Reaver.
He was restrained as soon as he used his special skill. The Soul Reaver was horrified and he quickly stamped one foot on the spot. A crack extended along the front of his toes, forcing Ling Xiao to let go of his wrist and dodge to the other side. place.
After seven minutes, the two were temporarily tied.
Even if it is a temporary tie, all those with sharp eyes have already understood that in this game, if Soul Reaver doesn't use his most powerful killing technique "Soul Reaver", he will lose 10% of the time.
Of course, other people could see it, and there was no reason why Soul Reaver couldn't see it himself, but he was unwilling to use his killing move like this.
The lethality of that move is indeed powerful, but this weird skill has a fatal flaw. It can only be used a maximum of ten times within a level.
In the previous battle, he had used it nine times.
This was his life-saving trick. If he used it this time, even if he earned the crystal, there was no guarantee that he would be killed and robbed as soon as he left the arena.
Unless absolutely necessary, he would never waste the last opportunity to use the Soul Reaper.
"I don't believe that you, a young boy, can really be so strong that I can't deal with you." Soul Reaver once again gained confidence in himself, took three steps at a time, and rushed towards Ling Xiao.
"Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand." Soul Reaver shouted secretly in his heart. Just as he was about to fight Ling Xiao, a dark force of the power of five elements of thunder was suddenly exerted on his hand.
He punched out with both fists, and thunder and lightning were faintly wrapped around the fists, and they hit Ling Xiao's chest.
The moves are extremely simple, but the skills are completely domineering.
Boom, Ling Xiao's soul-stealing hand struck, and in an instant, countless electric currents surged through Ling Xiao's body, electrifying all the long and short hair on Ling Xiao's body.
"I'll wipe it." Ling Xiao jumped up and quickly took a few steps back. His hands shook violently and shook away the current.
However, in just such a moment of dodge, the Soul Reaver attacked again. This time, he raised his iron pillar-like feet and swung it towards Ling Xiao's head.
"Wind Blade Kick." This kick faintly carried the force of the five-spirited wind. Ling Xiao did not fall for the trick this time and directly caught it with his hands, but used his body skills to dodge.
If he blocks the opponent's foot with a punch, the wind blade emanating from the opponent's foot will definitely continue to hit his head.
Being hit by the fastest wind in such a short distance is not as simple as breaking the skin.
"Okay, let's fight like this." Seeing that his attacks were effective, Soul Seizing Palm was overjoyed. Although these attacks also consumed soul power, they might cause Ling Xiao to suffer. Victory would be a matter of time.
Ling Xiao naturally understood that it was not appropriate to confront the Soul Reaver at this time and continued to jump left and right like a monkey.
The people who were originally optimistic about Ling Xiao couldn't help but shook their heads when they saw that Ling Xiao was almost hit by the Soul Reaver's attacks several times: Could it be that they were wrong about the person.
The young man was extremely nervous. He clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails deeply into his palms without realizing it.
The most calm person on the field was naturally Li Yuanchong. How could he not know that Ling Xiao's method was only consuming the opponent's soul power.
Chu Lianyue also kept looking at Ling Xiao, her beautiful eyes sometimes showed hatred and sometimes confusion. Probably no one knew what she was thinking except herself.
"Damn it, don't run away if you dare." It seemed like he was about to be hit several times, but Ling Xiao dodged him at the last moment. The Soul Reaver finally knew that the other party was deliberately teasing him, and he was so angry that he screamed. I screamed, but there was nothing I could do.
"Haha, don't chase me if you have the guts." Ling Xiao used words to stimulate the Soul Reaver while running away.
After being teased by Ling Xiao, he was really helpless. The Soul Reaver finally roared: "Watch the move, the mountain is overwhelming."
Then, Ling Xiao immediately felt a shadow appear in the sky behind him, and with a heavy whistling sound of wind, it quickly pressed towards him.
(Nirvana Note: Taishan, a very high mountain on the Xuantian Continent, hehe)
