Chapter 68
"Black Shark, tear him apart, you hear me!"
"I've put all my final money on you. I'm going to make him bleed to death!"
"Give me a good try to smooth his edge!"
"We won four consecutive victories in one go!!"
The male mermaid who had lost all his fortune at this time began to feel hopeful and even a little excited after hearing that Black Shark had won three consecutive games today.
Its fragile self-esteem would not allow it to place its bets on the mermaid boy again, not to mention that it no longer had any bets.
"Lend me some money, I will definitely bet right this time!"
"I will pay it back when I get back..."
The male mermaid, unaware that he was sinking deeper and deeper, took the borrowed money, with an indomitable spirit, put pearl shells into the magic instrument next to his seat, and bet on the "Black Shark".
This time, I can definitely turn things around!
*
No matter what kind of turmoil broke out in the audience, the two opponents in the arena seemed to be relatively peaceful at this time.
"You are stupid." Black Shark approached Su Xingyuan and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Being liked by the audience means getting more support. They will come to watch your duels and provide consumption for the arena."
"So the arena will arrange opponents that are easier for you to win against, so that you don't lose this popularity easily. Your winning streak will increase, and it will be a virtuous cycle..."
"And you... pushed them away with your own hands."
Black Shark clenched the trident in his hand and gave a cold smile.
"And now, as long as I win you, all the praise and love will become mine!"
Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to gain the crazy love and attention of the audience. Only fighters who have made an extreme comeback or have been winning streak can have this honor.
Once a performance fails to meet the audience's expectations, it will be ruthlessly abandoned.
But now, Su Xingyuan's ability to attract hatred is simply a godsend. Black Shark has never seen a guy who can make the audience in the arena angry to this extent. The angrier the audience is, the more indignant they are. After Black Shark defeats Su Xingyuan, the more feedback it will get.
From then on, he perfectly stepped on Su Xingyuan to ascend to the throne.
The black-haired mermaid smiled and said, "Okay. But I still bet on myself to win this match."
The host said at the right moment: "Please return to your seats, both fighters. The fight is about to begin."
As the fighters from both sides returned to their own side of the arena, the host gave the signal for the fight to begin.
Almost at the moment the fight began, Black Shark rushed directly towards Su Xingyuan!
Its purpose is very clear, which is to win Su Xingyuan perfectly while getting the most support from the audience!
To it, the water spider could be defeated by itself. Even though the mermaid boy seemed to kill the water spider easily, it felt that defeating the opponent would only take a little more effort.
fail?
It had never envisioned this possibility.
When the black shark's trident was already flying in front of her, the black-haired mermaid seemed to remember something and said in distress, "Oh no, the weapon was damaged in the last battle..."
Are you realizing it now, idiot!
"It's a pity that you won't live long enough to regret your carelessness—"
As the attack was about to succeed, Black Shark's eyes suddenly burst into excitement, and he pointed the tip of the trident straight at the black-haired mermaid's face!
The audience who saw this scene even stood up, their faces flushed with excitement, and they began to applaud and cheer. They foresaw the mermaid boy being knocked down by one blow, and they felt comfortable all over and happy all the way to the top of their heads.
"That's it! Kill it cleanly and quickly in one go!"
At this point, forget about the exciting fights that are required in gladiatorial combat. Their emotions have changed from the excitement of watching a bloody fight to extreme anger against a certain fighter.
What the audience wants to see now is the mermaid boy’s blood splattered on the spot!
Just when all the emotions reached their peak and were about to burst out with the blood——
They saw the black-haired mermaid blink her eyes, and the distress on her face quickly faded away like a tide, and she smiled helplessly as if she had no other choice.
That smile, and those green eyes deepened by the sea water, were chilling.
"Then we can only...fight physically, right?"
null.
The black shark, which was moving at high speed, was suddenly forced to stop along with the mermaid boy.
The excited smile of victory froze on its face, and it slowly shifted its gaze to look at its trident.
——The longest spike of the trident was now firmly held in the hand of the black-haired mermaid. It could no longer move forward, and it couldn't even move at all.
"Mr. Black Shark, I have no weapons left. You should also put them down. Only then will the fight be fair, right?"
It heard the mermaid boy say this with a smile.
The next moment, the well-made trident began to break into pieces from the part he was holding, and turned into a pile of pieces in the blink of an eye.
The young mermaid gently let go of his hands, and the sea water carried away all the fragments, leaving nothing behind.
“…”
Black Shark didn't notice that his hands were shaking slightly.
Not only its hands, but also its eyes were staring at the trident that it had bought at a great price. Its pupils kept shrinking. Even though it didn't show any exaggerated expression, it completely exposed its unstable emotions at the moment.
——It is afraid.
People standing outside the game will never be afraid of the absolute power felt by those in the game. Most of them will only hold the fantasy of "I can do it too".
However, once they actually came onto the field and faced the terrifying force that could send a low-quality trident through the opponent's heart, the fighting spirit that was originally filled with courage and confidence would be shattered in an instant, just like the weapon it trusted being destroyed by others.
The dark-haired mermaid is still smiling.
"If you don't do it, I'm going to do it, okay?"
Before he finished speaking, the black shark hanging high in the air was knocked to the ground by a punch from the mermaid boy!
There are no fancy techniques, just the purest force suppression.
The ground, which has withstood countless fights, is made of the hardest material available. Even in the most intense battles, it has never suffered much damage.
However, when the audience looked down, they saw spider-web-like cracks on the ground. The ground that had held out until now had finally completed its work and left with regrets.
The audience who were originally shouting suddenly fell silent.
The host, who is a member of the arena, has a look on his face that is almost distorted. He also has a share in this arena! !
The daily ground maintenance costs are a huge amount of money, not to mention such a large-scale repair... It would be better to just replace them all!
The host was going crazy in the back of his mind and his heart was bleeding, but on the surface he managed to stay calm and performed his duties: "It seems that our little Pearl has won this time easily!"
"Strength, speed, determination and character are all indispensable. By defeating the fourth-level 'Black Shark', Little Pearl has once again improved her position. In just two short fights, she has risen from level one to level four! This is an unprecedented feat!"
The host asked, "Excuse me, Little Pearl, should we suspend the fight for a break, or continue to invite the next fighter to enter?"
Su Xingyuan: "Next one, please."
In the sea water, Su Xingyuan, whose attributes in all directions were enhanced by 50%, was like a walking bug. At least in this arena, there was nothing worthy of his halftime break and preparation.
The host nodded: "In that case, let us invite——"
The host's voice suddenly stopped.
It looked at the person walking out of the passage and was a little confused: "Who are you? Where is the fighter who was supposed to fight?"
Not only the host, but everyone was wondering "how could little Pearl have such great strength?" The audience in the stands also finally turned their attention to other things.
They all made confused sounds: "Two legs? How could a two-legged creature come to the arena?"
Su Xingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the guy who slowly emerged in the passage and replaced his next opponent.
Short white hair, pointed ears with earrings, dark skin, a spear on his back that seemed much better made, and that familiar face.
Su Xingyuan: “Oh wow.”
He turned around and asked the host sincerely: "Does your arena still employ child labor?"
Host: "? He obviously came here uninvited!"
"My name is Ariel."
The child, who had grown a little taller but not completely taller, gave his name coldly.
"I'm here to see you, little Zhen...little Pearl."
Su Xingyuan: “…”
He almost couldn't hold back his acting and burst out laughing.
The difficulty with Little Pearl here really ruined the entire scene of Ariel’s appearance.
Ariel's face darkened a few shades when he pronounced the name.
Su Xingyuan's eyes swept over the green name above Ariel's head, and noticed that the anger and scrutiny on his face did not seem to be pretended, and he instantly understood the current situation.
He thought Ariel recognized him, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. He wanted to have a fight with him first to test his strength and then ask Ariel the questions that were in his mind.
The host turned around, as if he had received some signal, and said stiffly: "Ariel is a distinguished guest of our tribe, with extraordinary strength..."
"Next, he will replace the fighter who was originally going to fight against Little Pearl, who has won two consecutive victories! If he wins this battle, Little Pearl can directly get the reward of ten consecutive victories!"
The host looked at Su Xingyuan and hinted wildly: "Of course, since this is an emergency, Xiao Zhenzhu can also refuse."
Su Xingyuan blinked: "Why should I refuse?"
This looks super fun!
Seeing this, the host could only fulfill his duty and said solemnly:
"Both parties agree that the showdown is established."
