Chapter 67
"Little Pearl dodged the water spider's attack at the last moment! Excellent reaction ability and speed!"
The host was obviously also surprised by this sudden change - he had seen countless fights here, and based on his experience, in the situation just now, the mermaid boy had almost no chance of escape.
It took it a long time to react and provide its explanation of the battle situation.
"——But reaction ability and speed alone are not enough," it paid close attention to the two protagonists in the arena, "As a monster, the water spider will not admit defeat voluntarily, and its physical strength is also higher..." So a quick battle is needed, requiring the fighters to have strong attack capabilities.
Before it could finish its words, it noticed that the mermaid boy blinked his green eyes, as if he was a little confused as to how it was sure that the water spider had better physical strength.
Seeing this look, the host couldn't help but paused.
Now that it really started to think about the question of who has better physical strength between the water spider and the mermaid boy - wait, why is the mermaid boy so concerned about this!
It's just an innocent host!
The player, who had always been strong-willed, withdrew his attention from the useless host, and looked at the water spider that couldn't find its prey. He was confused for a moment, and then began to turn his head to look for his location.
There was no hiding place in the arena, so Su Xingyuan had no chance to hide.
He doesn't need to hide.
The black-haired mermaid boy weighed the ordinary trident in his hand. It made no difference whether he had it or not. He just held it in his hand as a psychological comfort. Under normal circumstances, it might not even be able to pierce the skin of this broken spider.
But he seemed to really regard the trident as a weapon of victory. He looked at it carefully and then held it in his right hand.
The male mermaid who had bet all on the water spider was relieved when he saw this. He said with a little contempt: "It didn't bring any weapons? Everyone knows that the trident provided by the arena is completely unusable, right?"
"I saw it was so confident, I thought it had something... How dare it use this as a weapon?"
Some viewers who had expected a lot from him because of his movement and reaction speed now shook their heads in disappointment and said, "It's a good thing we didn't place a bet just now."
More and more Atlanteans are putting their money on the water spider.
Just when the odds against the black-haired mermaid had reached a terrifying level, he finally made a move.
The host who was watching the game suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
As the host, it sees much more clearly than the audience and thinks more. At this moment, a somewhat absurd idea pops up in its mind involuntarily -
This guy wouldn't... bet all his money on himself winning, right?
If that was really the case, then he was not hesitating or afraid at all. He was just waiting for the audience to bet as much as possible on the water spider so as to infinitely increase his odds!
He doesn't care about the stupid audience, he only cares about his own best interests.
——He was sure he could win.
The black-haired mermaid tilted her head slightly, and her beautiful green eyes met the spider's compound eyes...
And slowly revealed a harmless smile.
At the same time, facing the water spider's rush towards him, he did not show any reaction that could be seen as special emotion, nor did he have the slightest intention of dodging.
He just calmly raised the trident, slightly pulled his arm back, and casually threw the trident at the water spider.
The trident is useless to begin with, and it seems like it has no power at all when thrown. Add to that the long distance and the resistance of the sea water, and how much effect can it have when it finally reaches the water spider's head?
Almost all the audience present thought so, and they were ready to laugh at the mermaid boy's joke.
Only the host swam up quickly and quietly to ensure that he would not be affected.
——Under everyone’s gaze, the trident flew out of his hand.
"Bang!!"
The moment it left the mermaid boy's right hand, a terrifying sonic boom suddenly erupted around the trident, which seemed to have been thrown forward carelessly!
The calm sea water was instantly spread out layer by layer, stirring up white waves deep in the seabed. The crudely made trident was like a large-caliber bullet. After being applied with infinite force and acceleration, it fell towards the water spider's head like a meteorite!
The falling path was as fast as a streak of light. The audience's eyes were still on the black-haired mermaid's hand, but the trident had already pierced through the water spider's body and even went straight into the hard floor of the arena, and then began to crack bit by bit.
——It’s not because of attacking an unattackable object, but because of enduring an unbearable force.
"oops."
The black-haired mermaid still maintained a calm expression, but in contrast to his expression, he raised his right hand in a childish manner, placed it above his eyes as if looking out, and said in a very relaxed tone:
"It seems... that I won."
——The water spider that was pierced straight through by the trident was now like a lifeless sculpture, with even its limbs still maintaining the posture it was in at that moment.
It was completely unable to respond to the crushing attack, so much so that when the trident hit it, it behaved like a pathetic target for the mermaid boy.
Being killed lightly seemed to be its destined end.
There was silence on the field.
This silence was different from the previous ones that were speechless or irritating. It was accompanied by a tense feeling that made the heart almost jump out of the throat, and a terrifying oppression instantly filled the entire arena.
They watched helplessly as the water spider's blood was quickly purified by the magic circle in the arena before it could spread. The audience always had the best experience, but they still seemed to feel the blood lingering around them, pouring into their nasal cavities and rushing into their throats.
The host took some effort to find his voice: "The winner of this game is——"
"Little Pearl!"
"Let us congratulate him for achieving such an overwhelming advantage. He defeated the third-level water spider with just one strike and qualified for the next duel!"
The only voice in the entire arena was the host's voice, and the originally emotional audience seemed to be mute. If someone who doesn't know the truth stands here, he might think that these audience members look like tombstones, with a bit of absurd humor.
"Look, you don't cheer for me."
The mermaid boy sighed, gave an "I knew it" expression, and spread his hands helplessly.
However, before some Atlanteans could find this action oddly cute, he tilted his head slightly and his smile gradually brightened.
"——Could it be that you bet all your fortunes on the water spider, and now you are penniless?"
"It's time to grieve for a while."
He said with lingering fear:
"——Luckily I bet on myself to win."
All the audience: "..."
audience:"………"
Stay calm, stay calm, don't let yourself be angered by him again and again, otherwise it will make the audience seem very stupid, like a fish being led by the nose.
…
Damn it, I can't calm down! !
Their money! Money! !
Ahhhhh!
I really want to rip this guy's mouth apart!
And when they thought about the fact that all their money was earned by him, the feeling of wanting to vomit blood became even stronger - now that the mermaid boy has attracted so much hatred, they don't want to see him make money even if they lose money themselves.
"I don't believe you can keep winning. There are many more powerful people in the arena than you think!"
"Don't be so arrogant, boy!"
"I'm so mad, I'm so mad, I really want to give him two tails!"
The mermaid boy finally heard the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, nodded happily, and said affirmatively: "I am still very good at livening up the atmosphere."
The host twitched his lips: "..."
As expected, the audience's feedback was even more enthusiastic: "[Atlantis swear word] [swear word] [swear word]!!"
In this arena, they have seen arrogant, humble, cautious, and steady people, but this is the first time they have seen a guy like this who would not be happy unless he made the audience mad!
Do you have any strange hobbies that you can't tell others? !
For the first time, they didn't see a fighter who they hoped would continue to win so that they could follow the bet mindlessly. Now they just hoped that a tough guy would come out and crush this "little pearl"!
As if sensing this prayer, the host did not dare to let the scene go on any longer, for fear that it would develop into a terrible fight and make the audience lose their minds, so that they would want to personally beat the mermaid boy even if it meant destroying the arena.
The difference in appearance between the two sides can easily lead to an illusion, and the host is now reserved about whether the audience can win by ganging up on them.
"Let's welcome Little Pearl's next opponent, the one who won three consecutive victories in the arena today - Black Shark!"
The door on the other side of the arena slowly opened again, and an extremely strong, brown-haired male mermaid swam out.
Just like the code name given by the male mermaid, its tail is as black as a hard reef, and the teeth exposed when it occasionally opens its mouth are as sharp as a shark.
Su Xingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at his next opponent, raised his hand very friendly and greeted him.
Black Shark sneered, as if he understood this greeting as a sign of weakness. He ignored him and said directly to the host: "Hurry up, I can't wait, I will give this grandstanding guy a good beating... to the ground."
The host received the signal and subconsciously glanced at the mermaid boy. After finding that the other party's expression did not change at all, he entered the next process.
It already has a rough idea of the outcome of this confrontation.
Black Shark is just a guy with all the power but no brains.
The opponent greeted it with a relaxed expression when it appeared. This was not because of fear or a desire to show mercy to it, but because of utter contempt.
"Black Shark is rated as a fourth-level fighter. Whether it is a monster or its own kind, it is invincible in battle. It is famous in the arena for its ferocity and decisiveness!"
"So, who is the winner today, Little Pearl, who just made his debut and defeated the third-level water spider with his first-level skills, or the gladiator genius Black Shark who has won many consecutive victories?"
“Let’s wait and see!”
