บท 14: One-Shot Kill!
บรรณาธิการ: Dragon Boat Translation
Dong!
Just when everyone thought that Lu Huai was going to be defeated.
An ancient bell-like sound suddenly reverberated through the entire arena.
The dust that originally shrouded Lu Huai's body seemed to have been sucked into a black hole.
A round hole suddenly appeared in the dust.
The iron feathers that were flying straight at Lu Huai suddenly stopped halfway and turned into dust mid-air.
Then, everyone was dumbfounded.
The wind falcon that was originally in the air suddenly moved up a little.
The feathers on its body fell to the ground.
Even the wind falcon's body fell from the sky.
There was a loud thud.
The wind falcon's huge body fell to the ground, and it stopped moving.
A moment later, the dust gradually dispersed, revealing Lu Huai, who was standing in the same place, unscathed.
"What's going on? Why did the wind falcon suddenly fall?"
"I don't know. Did anyone notice anything? Quickly tell me!"
"God knows. Let's wait for the host to explain."
After the small discussions in the venue continued for a while, the host's voice finally came.
"The wind falcon is dead. Contestant no. 4 has won the eleventh round!"
The arena immediately fell silent.
"What?"
"No way! The wind falcon is dead?"
"What the hell happened?"
Lu Huai heaved a sigh of relief. He had really been in danger just now.
If it was not for his amazing defense, the wind falcon's feathers would have definitely torn his skin apart.
The wind falcon's death was naturally due to Lu Huai's display of his innate martial skill.
After his blood and qi rose to 500 points, the power of Lu Huai's innate martial skill had risen to another level.
The wind falcon could not block this attack at all and it died immediately.
He could still feel some pain in his back from where the wind falcon had struck him.
After the battle ended, Lu Huai did not intend to continue fighting.
The beast combat arena could allow him to gain experience.
However, it really only allowed him to train his mind, not his combat ability.
The beasts in the arena simply could not give him enough pressure.
The power of his SSS-grade talent made him fearless of these demonic beasts.
Even the demonic apprentice wind falcon was killed by him with one strike.
To the surprise and cheers of the audience, Lu Huai left the stage.
Long Sheng, who was smiling, came up to him.
"Little Brother Lu Huai is indeed powerful."
"This is the first time you've come to the beast combat arena, yet you managed to defeat eleven demonic beasts and even a demonic apprentice-level demonic beast."
"This is the prize money for your participation in the beast combat arena. It's a total of two hundred thousand alliance dollars."
To be honest, Long Sheng had been paying attention to the situation in the fifth zone the entire time.
He had thought that Lu Huai would be flustered or even injured.
However, Lu Huai had given him a surprise.
Long Sheng took out an alliance card. "Give me your alliance card, and I'll give you the prize money."
He initially thought that Lu Huai would be very excited.
However, he did not expect Lu Huai to just take out a golden card with a calm expression.
"This!"
Long Sheng looked at the golden card in shock.
He knew how precious the golden card was. There were at least a hundred million alliance dollars in it!
He did not expect Lu Huai to take it out without a change in expression.
Long Sheng could not help but smile bitterly.
He had overlooked the scene of so many big shots recruiting Lu Huai.
It was normal for Lu Huai to have this golden card.
After transferring two hundred thousand alliance dollars to Lu Huai's card, Long Sheng continued, "Student Lu Huai, do you still want to continue?"
Lu Huai shook his head.
Although these battles did not make him feel mentally exhausted, his body would still be tired.
In addition, he still felt a slight pain in his back from the blow from the wind falcon.
"Alright then, I won't send you off. Student Lu Huai, feel free to stroll around by yourself."
"Thanks."
Lu Huai left the beast combat arena and casually strolled around the management office a few times before returning home.
Not long after he returned, Liu Changqing came again.
"Lu Huai! Are you alright?"
Liu Changqing rushed in hurriedly, "I heard that you went to the beast combat arena. Did you get hurt?"
"I'm not injured." Lu Huai shook his head.
Liu Changqing heaved a sigh of relief. "I happened to be near Anyang City. I heard that you went to the beast combat arena, so I rushed over to take a look. It's good that you're fine."
"But don't be so impulsive next time. The beast combat arena is very dangerous. If anything happens, it will be troublesome."
Lu Huai naturally knew that Liu Changqing was concerned about him.
However, the demonic beasts in the spirit beast arena did not pose a threat to him, and he was not injured.
In the past, he would just treat it as earning money.
"As a martial artist, I will have to fight with demonic beasts."
"It's just a matter of when."
Lu Huai said calmly.
This was a realization he had come to as a martial artist.
Hearing this, Liu Changqing was stunned.
It must be known that even in the Heavenly Divine Academy, there were many talented geniuses who never dared to go to the battlefield to fight against demonic beasts.
All of them cherished their lives.
That was why they had been held back until now.
But now, Lu Huai, who had just awakened, had already come to this realization.
Although he was an SSS-grade genius, he was not overly prideful.
He continued to work on himself even after discovering his talent.
This made Liu Changqing's impression of Lu Huai rise.
"It's good that you're aware of this. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." Liu Changqing said, pleased.
"Remember, there are less than ten days before you have to go and truly fight against demonic beasts in the entrance exam."
"Train harder in this period of time. Don't let the others in the academy down."
After saying that, Liu Changqing left.
Lu Huai, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
A real demonic beast?
Were there going to be demonic apprentices and demonic soldiers?
Or could it be that there were even demonic beasts at the demonic master realm?
If that was the case, then he had high expectations for this exam.
Lu Huai reviewed the battle in the beast combat arena.
He had only mastered two martial skills.
Both were of the offensive type.
One was given to him by Liu Changqing, and the other was his own martial skill.
In addition to his means of attack, Lu Huai also realized that he was still lacking in practice after this battle.
SSS-grade was indeed very powerful.
However, he was still lacking in terms of movement, defense, and combat style.
Lu Huai planned to learn some related martial skills to improve his combat ability after entering the Heavenly Divine Academy.
As for Big Black?
Lu Huai looked at the rune that was still on the ground.
Liu Changqing did not seem to see the rune just now. It seemed like he was the only one who could see it.
The things that Big Black brought back did not seem to be fixed.
It was as if this dog was disdainful to bring back something that it did not deem strong.
Maybe next time, he could try to communicate with Big Black and ask it to bring back something he specifically asked for.
Lu Huai rubbed his chin, thinking that this was something feasible.
Night gradually fell.
Lu Huai lay on the bed, his eyes looking at the rune from time to time.
It had been almost an entire day, but Big Black had not returned.
Did something happen to Big Black?
At this moment, Lu Huai noticed a flash of light from the rune out of the corner of his eye.
[Ding! Silly Doggy thinks that you do not know how to fight, so it went to the future and brought back three martial arts memories!]
After the light faded, Big Black appeared where the rune was.
Lu Huai quickly went up to it, only to find that Big Black's body was in a mess. It was obvious that it had just been through a battle.
"Big Black, are you alright?" Lu Huai's heart tightened.
He did not expect Big Black to just glance at him before throwing the ball of light in its mouth into his hands and lying down to sleep.
The ball of light turned into a stream of light and surged into Lu Huai's body.
A strange memory appeared in Lu Huai's mind again.
...
It was still the familiar blue tunnel and ring of light.
Big Black went in.
What entered his eyes was not the steel city he had seen last time.
Instead, it was a mountain city.
Lu Huai instantly recognized it. This mountain city was the most distinctive city in the alliance.
Yu City of District 2!
He did not expect Big Black to come here this time.
As soon as Big Black landed, it immediately discovered that there seemed to be some martial artists hunting demonic beasts around it.
Several martial artists with various weapons were taking turns attacking a snake-shaped demonic beast.
Not long after, the demonic beast fell at the hands of these people.
However, before they could pick up their spoils of war, they saw Big Black suddenly appear.
They raised their weapons and rushed toward Big Black, shouting that they should kill it and go back to claim a reward.
The aura of this group of martial artists was not weak.
Soon, Big Black was engaged in a fierce battle with these few people.
Big Black was at a disadvantage in the beginning.
But slowly, Big Black found an opportunity and bit someone.
The man cried out in pain, and the cooperation between the group of people instantly fell apart.
The rest of them were no match for Big Black, even if they worked together.
Soon, a martial artist died in Big Black's mouth, and the rest of the martial artists fled in panic.
Lu Huai was synched with Big Black and experienced the feeling of biting into the other party's neck.
The feeling and taste of blood and human flesh entering his mouth were especially distinct.
He felt his stomach start churning.
However, before he could get over the pain, Big Black moved again.
It strode toward Yu City.
It did not take long for them to enter Yu City's territory.
Yu City was built on a mountain and had beautiful scenery. Big Black ran around the streets happily.
It seemed to be very excited.
The perspective that kept on moving up and down left Lu Huai feeling slightly dizzy.
Fortunately, not long after, Big Black got tired and hid in a small alley to rest.
The conversation of the people in the building next door entered its ears.
"It's been so long. Why hasn't the beast tide been resolved yet?"
"Sigh... Stop talking about that. Ever since those hidden race people appeared, our alliance has never been at peace."
"I wonder how Martial Emperor Lu is doing?"
"I heard that he seems to be with..."
"Really? Then... "
Big Black did not hear the rest of the sentence clearly, because its attention was attracted by something else.
A four-legged dog walked in from the alley with a puppy.
When it saw big black, its eyes flickered with a strange light, as if it was on guard against Big Black.
However, Lu Huai clearly felt that the him in this memory, who was also Big Black, actually had the desire to drool.
Lu Huai said in his heart that this was not good.
As a result, a scene that left him dumbfounded appeared.
Big Black actually picked the puppy away with its mouth and started wrestling with the dog.
How could that dog let such a thing happen without doing anything? It kept on struggling.
Its sharp teeth kept leaving bite marks on Big Black's body.
After that, a strange whimpering sound came from the quiet street.
Not long after, Lu Huai felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
NO!
I'm dirty!
Lu Huai wanted to cry, but no tears came out of his eyes. He did not want to personally experience such a vulgar thing in his memories.
However, he did not have the ability to fast forward the memories.
If it was possible, Lu Huai would have sped up the memory 108 times and skipped this part.
In the memory, the dog fled in panic, but when it reached the end of the alley, there was clearly some reluctance in its eyes.
"..."
Fortunately, Big Black did not stay.
After resting for a while, it continued on its way.
It was dusk in Yu City at the moment, and there were fewer people on the streets.
Big Black sniffed the air as it arrived in front of a manor.
Big Black sniffed at the manor's entrance again, then strode toward it.
However, the strange thing was that the guards at the entrance of the manor did not stop it.
Instead, they took out two portions of demonic beast meat and fed it to Big Black.
After Big Black finished eating, they let it into the manor.
Everyone in the manor either smiled when they saw Big Black or tried to avoid it.
This made Lu Huai very curious about what was going on.
Could it be that these memories were incomplete?
Lu Huai was puzzled.
Big Black moved unimpeded in the huge manor.
Soon, Big Black arrived at a room in the deepest part of the manor.
Big Black wanted to go in directly, but after its ears twitched from hearing something, it suddenly hid.
It perked up its ears and listened carefully.
"Has anything happened recently?"
"Nothing much..."
"Is there still no news of Martial Emperor Lu?"
"I haven't heard anything about Martial Emperor Lu since then... I wonder if he's doing well."
"I hope he's fine... Oh right..."
"I know, but he's already... Sigh..."
The voices were intermittent, and even with Big Black's sharp hearing, it could only make out a few words.
Then, Big Black heard the sound of a door opening and closing.
It seemed like someone had left.
Big Black perked up its ears and continued to listen for a while.
Then, it tiptoed to the door of the room and carefully pushed it open.
A figure sitting on the bed appeared in Big Black's field of vision.
This is...
Na Wanlin?
Lu Huai immediately recognized this person. Although he looked much thinner, he could still recognize his face.
His appearance was 80-90% similar to Na Wanlin's.
At this moment, Na Wanlin was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
There was a strange iron plate floating in front of him, and two iron plates were placed beside him.
The flowing light on the iron plates kept flowing into the space between Na Wanlin's eyebrows, making the scene look very mysterious.
Big Black nimbly approached Na Wanlin.
After raising its head to make sure that Na Wanlin did not notice him, it slowly opened its mouth.
In the next second, the iron plates beside Na Wanlin suddenly moved, then they spontaneously emitted a stream of light.
Attracted by an unknown force, the flowing light gradually gathered at Big Black's mouth and condensed into a ball of light.
After doing all this, Big Black was planning to leave.
But when it turned around, it saw the iron plate in front of Na Wanlin.
It opened its mouth slightly again, keeping the ball of light in its mouth from falling out.
The iron plate in front of Na Wanlin also gradually disappeared into the ball of light in Big Black's mouth.
"Strange, why did it suddenly stop?"
Na Wanlin, who noticed that something strange was going on, suddenly opened his eyes.
Big Black had been discovered.
Na Wanlin looked at Big Black, dumbfounded.
"Aren't you... Martial Emperor Lu's..."
Big Black glanced at Na Wanlin, then suddenly jumped out of the door.
After a burst of light, the memory fragment ended.
