Seeing this, Lin Nai dodged to the side, avoiding his heavy punch.
He felt a fierce gust of soul energy sweep past his face.
It scraped his right cheek, leaving it slightly sore.
However, Lin Nai's movements did not stop for the slightest.
While dodging, he suddenly delivered an elbow strike followed by a quick punch.
It struck Hu Xiong's ribs quickly and fiercely.
Hu Xiong groaned, staggered back two steps, and vomited a mouthful of stomach acid. The excruciating pain in his ribs almost made him kneel down.
"Oh~......"
On the stands, the contestants cheered upon seeing Lin Nai's decisive and clean strike.
Because of his status as an apostle, Linna is not only the focus of attention for the media, but also undoubtedly the focus of attention for all the remaining contestants.
Most of the players have long since stopped watching other arenas.
Everyone gathered in the stands on Linnae's side to watch Linnae's match.
One reason is to observe the opponents we might encounter in the next few rounds.
Secondly, it was also to see just how strong the White Reaper's abilities really were.
"Tsk tsk, you're really fast."
One of the boys exclaimed, "At only level 2, his physical attributes are already at least level 5 or 6, and he's not even a martial artist. It's unbelievable."
Another girl said, "Yeah, this Tiger is really overestimating himself. Of all the people he could have chosen, he had to pick an apostle."
"Don't speak too soon," a female voice said.
The boy and girl paused, then turned to look. Yu Yuanyuan sat on the high steps, her hand resting on her chin: "You two should observe that guy named Hu Xiong carefully."
The boy asked, puzzled, "Sister Yuan, why? That Hu Xiong seems to be only so-so."
“Because he works for a gene company,” Yu Yuanyuan said. “You should pay special attention to these guys; they might not be as aboveboard as the other contestants.”
"Huh?" the girl exclaimed in surprise. "Would they resort to some underhanded tactics? I didn't sense anything in the previous rounds."
Yu Yuanyuan's eyes were playful: "Perhaps you'll be able to see it after watching this match."
On the arena.
Lin Nai looked at Hu Xiong, who had been knocked to his knees by his attack.
“Your abilities must be more than this.” Lin Nai: “Since you’ve chosen me, stop hiding your true abilities and just come at me.”
"Heh..." Tiger Xiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a cruel smile spreading across his lips: "As you wish!"
As he spoke, his jaw muscles bulged, and he clearly made a biting motion with his mouth.
It seems like it bit through something in its mouth.
Linna raised an eyebrow, noticing this tiny detail.
Hu Xiong mobilized his inner energy, quickly tapping his brow with two fingers, then his lower abdomen.
"Bang bang..."
"Haa!!!"
A surge of soul energy erupted from within his body.
Its momentum was several times stronger than before!
Linnaeus opened the system and scanned his physical condition.
really.
Tiger's physical attributes are rapidly increasing!
[The target body is strongly stimulated by a certain drug!]
[Target's temporary Soul Power usage efficiency +190%, temporary Strength +200, temporary Stamina +200, temporary Agility +210, temporary Defense +300, temporary Resistance +300, temporary Burst +175%, temporary Attack +150%, temporary Endurance +170%, temporary TD Cell Activity +280%...]
Linnaeus's eyes narrowed.
The drug's effects are terrifying!
It seems this guy concentrated the gene serum and hid it in his mouth in the form of a capsule.
"How is this possible?!"
In the stands, the president of Shanhai University suddenly stood up, staring at the arena in astonishment: "How could this Hu Xiong's soul power level suddenly jump from nearly level 6 to level 6.9??"
A chorus of astonished gasps erupted from the audience.
They could not see any changes in Hu Xiong's physical condition.
However, they could sense the intensity of the soul power that Tiger King was unleashing.
"Level 6.9..."
"This should be the highest level among our contestants in this competition, right?"
"They're at the same level as Mu Xun from Guigu."
"Could it be that this Tiger Hero has been holding back his strength from the very beginning?"
"Oh my god..."
Upon seeing this scene, Tang Hongshan and the others immediately became tense.
"Holy crap!" Old Zhang was so shocked that he dropped his cigarette butt. "How did that guy's strength suddenly increase so much?"
Even at night, one can still sense the changes in Hu Xiong's body.
It's not just that my soul power level has increased...
She could also feel the strong upward fluctuations in her various physical attributes.
Although she couldn't see Hu Xiong's detailed attributes in the darkness, she could see the color changes of the energy within him, from bluish-green to orange-red, and then gradually to deep red.
“It seems he used some kind of special drug.” Ye Wan’er knew very well that the color was a reaction that only appeared when a certain gene drug was used: “His physical attributes have been greatly enhanced.”
"Really?" Meng Feifei asked doubtfully, "I've been staring at Hu Xiong the whole time, and I didn't see him do anything like that."
After a pause, Ye Wan'er said, "I suspect... he might have hidden the medication in his mouth, so that it would take effect once he bit it open."
Lin Yuxi suddenly realized: "I see..."
Meng Feifei scratched her face: "There's such a thing?"
Tang Hongshan's expression turned serious: "Lin Nai is in trouble now."
On the arena.
The spiritual energy emanating from Hu Xiong's body grew stronger and stronger.
The vortex-like airflow quickly and completely engulfed the entire arena.
The female referee on the sidelines couldn't help but raise her hand to shield her eyes from the airflow.
Linnaeus's clothes fluttered in the wind, but she remained calm and composed, standing still in place.
Hu Xiong sneered: "Hmph, pretending to be calm, are you just dumbfounded?"
Linna: "This is only the fourth round, and you're already taking this gene serum with so many side effects. Even if you win, what are you planning to do in the rest of the matches?"
Hu Xiong grinned coldly: "I never intended to advance to the final round. My mission will end in this round."
Lin Nai raised an eyebrow.
"Prepare to die!"
Tiger roared and struck out with his right palm: "Martial Arts - Tiger Lion Roar!"
A burst of orange-red soul energy shockwave shot out from his palm and hurtled toward Lin Nai!
"Crackling sounds..."
The orange-red soul energy condensed and took shape, becoming the form of a tiger's head.
The air crackled and popped.
That's not all.
The ground that the soul energy impacted was completely torn apart by the powerful force, creating a narrow crack in the ground!
