Hell Arena.
The most brutal place in the inner city of Slaughter City.
Full of bloodshed and violence, yet it was the favorite haunt of these utterly vicious scumbags.
The tall and magnificent black buildings rose from the ground, emanating a dense aura of slaughter.
Luo Yu and the three women, Bi Bidong, stood at the entrance of the Hell Arena, their garments fluttering. A thick scent of blood assaulted them from within the arena.
"Nana, where do we sign up?"
Hulena looked at Luo Yu, who had asked the question, and hesitated, "Brother Yu, I've already won sixty-four consecutive victories, and I'll soon complete a hundred and ask the Slaughter King to open the Teleportation Array."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"You... are not fast enough."
"Let me handle these sorts of fights and killings," he said.
Hulena's beautiful eyes shimmered, her small mouth slightly agape.
She found it a bit unbelievable.
She had already achieved sixty-four consecutive victories, whereas Luo Yu hadn't participated in a single bout.
And he had the confidence to complete a hundred victories before her?
"Nana, lead the way ahead and don't doubt your mentor," Bi Bidong said.
"Alright... okay."
Hulena's eyes flickered with light, now extremely curious about what Luo Yu's move would look like, to have earned such trust from her teacher.
She led the three of them into the arena and found the sign-up area.
She smoothly registered Luo Yu for the competition.
They were led by a servant into the battlegrounds.
There were over a thousand spectators in the stands surrounding the battleground, and Luo Yu noticed they all shared one significant trait.
They were full of malevolent energy, and their hands were likely stained with countless lives.
Their voices rose in perverse excitement, shouting loudly toward the arena.
"Boom boom!"
Blood flew in all directions in the arena at that moment, as two villains covered in wounds fought a fierce battle for life and death.
Their eyes were already bloodshot with rage.
Shattered limbs and mutilated torsos littered the ground around them.
The blood-red liquid splattered everywhere, trickling along the ground.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out as one of the ruffians' left arms was blown apart by a punch.
At the same time, he cracked a cruel and triumphant smile, as if the bursting of his arm was merely a bait to lure his opponent into exposing a weakness.
Without hesitation, his fist launched forward.
It blew his opponent's head apart.
He stood tall, lifting his only remaining arm, roaring triumphantly.
His eyes dominantly swept over the entire arena.
"Roar roar roar!!"
Excited roars burst from the spectators in the stands, some of them so agitated they downed a Bloody Mary in one gulp, shattering their glasses, with shards and crimson liquid splashing all over the ground.
Compared to the wild and excited audience, Luo Yu and his party, newly led by a servant into the waiting area, seemed out of place for their quietness.
Bi Bidong glanced at the men around them with disdain.
"A bunch of trash consumed by slaughter, they'll never amount to anything," she uttered disdainfully.
Poseissi frowned and commented, "Honestly, I don't like this place; it's rotten."
Hulena followed with a nod.
"I don't like it here either, but this is indeed a good place to improve strength. After so many life-and-death battles, I feel my combat skills have significantly improved," she said.
Luo Yu's mouth curved upward, his tone teasing, "I think the chances of becoming possessed are also significantly higher."
"Brother Yu, you're so annoying!" Hulena pounded her delicate fist on Luo Yu's chest.
"Hmph!"
Bi Bidong let out a cold humph.
Her expression turned a few degrees more severe.
Hearing the humph, Hulena shrank her neck, her delicate body trembling slightly.
Bi Bidong said with a stern and authoritative voice, "Nana, he is your mentor; show some respect."
"Yes, disciple understands," Hulena said. She feared no one in her life but was truly afraid of Bi Bidong.
It was because, when she and her brother Evil Moon were wandering the streets, it was Bi Bidong who brought them back to the Martial Soul Hall.
Therefore, to Hulena, Bi Bidong was not only the Female Pope and a teacher but also like a mother.
However, this mother was a bit cold...
"Ahem, kids, they love to roughhouse. It's pretty normal. Dong'er, you don't need to be so serious," Luo Yu said with a smile as he spoke up for Hulena.
As a result, not only did Bi Bidong shoot a sharp glance at him with her phoenix eyes, but even Hulena gave him an annoyed look.
"Nana is already a young lady of marriageable age, and you're still calling her a child?"
"Ahem."
Luo Yu looked somewhat unnatural.
A young lady of marriageable age?
It seemed Hulena was one until a day ago, but now...
"Contestant number 9567, please prepare to enter the stage!"
A female attendant wearing a black uniform, displaying sickly pale yet beautiful legs, walked over to Luo Yu to remind him to get ready to go on stage.
Luo Yu wasn't in a hurry; instead, he cast his gaze towards Bi Bidong.
"Why are you looking at me?" Bi Bidong rolled her eyes.
Luo Yu said, "I'm about to go and fight a battle to the death, with only a one in ten chance of survival. Can't you give me a hug for encouragement?"
"You want encouragement?"
Bi Bidong gave him a big roll of her eyes and mockingly rebuked,
"Encouragement my ass."
"Watch your language. What if I don't come back?"
Bi Bidong nodded and said, "Then don't come back. I'll remember to mourn for you."
The female attendant beside them had a stunned expression on her face.
Before others entered the arena, there would usually be words of encouragement, or at least some comforting.
But here?
The words were more ominous with each utterance.
Hell, even the phrase 'mourn for you' was said.
Luo Yu seemed to understand the look in her eyes.
He waved his hand.
"Let's go, lead me to the stage!"
"Nothing surprising here. When you have true strength, you naturally have no taboos and nothing to fear," he said boldly.
So arrogant! That's the only feeling the female attendant had about Luo Yu.
She had lived in Slaughter City for many years, receiving countless contestants. However, they had all died.
Men's confidence appeared to her as a display of ignorance.
Perhaps this man had no idea of the ferocity of the opponent he was about to face.
"Good luck, 9567. You're quite pleasing to the eye, and I hope you live through the day," the female attendant offered her wishes.
Luo Yu nodded.
"As you wish."
"You will see," he assured her.
The female attendant shook her head. "You are really confident. I hope you can maintain such an optimistic attitude after you enter the stage."
It didn't take long.
Under the gaze of thousands in the audience...
The arena, filled with blood and severed limbs, welcomed another group of contestants.
Ten contestants ascended the stage in succession.
The ones in front were burly and muscular, exuding dense Blood Evil Qi; none looked easy to provoke.
When Luo Yu, a youth without a hint of murderous aura, handsome and upright, took the stage...
The incongruity was overwhelming.
The audience was first taken aback, then burst into jeers almost simultaneously.
"Damn it, since when did Slaughter City become a place for pretty boys with slicked hair to come?'
"Just a fledgling, I bet three glasses of Bloody Mary that this kid will be the first to die today."
"I bet five glasses!"
"Ha, bet my ass. Even a blind man could see this pretty but useless weakling is certain to die. What's there to bet on?"
