No wonder he was furious, because Lu Ji agreed verbally, but his actual fighting style was not different from before, it could only be said to be exactly the same!
While dodging the attack, Luji raised his head and looked at his opponent, saying:
"Why are you angry? I didn't lie to you."
"ah--!!?"
Lu Ji's opponent was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
"You bastard! Are you still saying that?!? With your laid-back attitude right now, can you be considered serious?!"
Lu Ji was a little confused.
"Of course I have never slacked off. From the very beginning, I have given my all and taken every match seriously. I can say without a doubt that I have never disrespected my opponents."
"ah???"
The opponent's brain crashed on the spot.
After working for a long time, he regained his sanity.
Then came the unprecedented rage.
"You! Bastard! How dare you tease me--!!!"
"I'm definitely going to kill you!!"
About half an hour later...
when--!
The bell rang, announcing the end of the game.
"Ah? Is it over?"
Mi Ke, who was dozing off, suddenly opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes drowsily and looked towards the direction of the stadium.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"...It's finally over."
There was no cheering or applause in the stadium, and almost all the spectators looked as if they had suffered a critical blow, with a look of despair on their faces.
"This guy won again..."
This also means that they will have to go through the same hardships later...
... ...
Over time.
The last match of the top 32 to the top 16 also came to an end, and the list of the top 16 was released.
The audience in the Colosseum left one after another.
In the passage connecting to the players' waiting room, Luggie Sloan was also planning to return to the hotel.
However, the appearance of a person made him stop.
“… …”
“… …”
The two of them just stood in the aisle, looking at each other, neither of them spoke.
In the end, Lor couldn't stand it anymore and spoke first.
"That wicked practice of using the Grand Arena as a training ground and your competitors as training subjects... Luggie Sloan, are you a disciple of the South Sea Sword Master?"
"... Exactly, Lord Lor. You are indeed a disciple of the Sage. I truly cannot hide anything from you."
“Oh~…”
Lor narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Not bad, you actually figured out my background. When did you figure that out?"
"The first day's exhibition match."
Lu Ji answered truthfully, but he wasn't the one who saw it...
“Tsk…”
Lor smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Surely, it was exposed at that time? If I had known earlier, I would have been more restrained..."
“… …”
"But having said that, you bunch of inflexible guys are just as annoying as ever. Today's match was no different. It really made me watch a game that stinked like shit!"
Luggie smiled slightly.
"Your Excellency Lor is joking. We are the same."
"Heh~, you're so brave—"
"I learned it from you!"
Sizzle——!
It seemed as if two invisible sparks burst out in the air and collided violently.
Both of them stared at each other with "kind" expressions, as if they were about to start fighting if they disagreed.
However, in the end, neither of them took action...
Although the Sword Saint and the Sage disliked each other, it was only mutual dislike, not hatred. Moreover, they belonged to the same camp that protected the world, so there was no reason for the two sides to conflict.
After a period of confrontation, the two men gave each other a look and left.
However, just as Luggie Sloan left the Colosseum, he met another person.
The moment he saw that person, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
However, before he could take a step, a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Lu Ji, are you going in the wrong direction? I'm here, brother!"
“Heh… heh…”
Lu Ji turned around reluctantly.
In front of him was a human man who looked so ordinary that he could hardly be found in a crowd.
"... Sorry, Brother Monroe, I mistook someone who looked very similar to you for you, so I wanted to chase him."
"I see~! Seeing you running so fast, I thought you were avoiding me~."
Monroe patted Luggie's shoulder with a smile.
"Haha...haha...Brother Monroe, you really know how to joke. Why would I hide from you?"
Lu Ji gave an awkward smile in return and explained in a stiff tone.
"In that case, I won't blame you, Senior Brother. However, you came out a little late today. I almost thought you had run away from somewhere else~!"
Lu Ji's cheek twitched suddenly.
"...Brother Monroe, you're kidding again. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find you when I got out."
Damn it! I had clearly tried my best to guess which exit this guy would appear at and tried to avoid that option, but in the end, he still predicted it!
