Chapter 14: Sean also advanced
The "ding ding ding ding" sound of gold coins entering the screen strongly stimulated the senses of everyone present.
In the upper right corner, the betting amount for this challenge is displayed. There are too many zeros, and Ji Zi doesn't even have the desire to count them.
The upper left corner shows the rewards accumulated after successfully defending the championship.
The fourth challenger came up next, a massive sentinel.
There was a giant goggle-like thing on the eyes, with green liquid flowing inside.
"What is that?" Ji Zi asked Xiu.
"The modified electronic eye can effectively improve concentration and protect eyesight."
Is this the kind of eyesight protection she thought it was?
“3.”
“2.”
“1.”
Without hesitation, the giant punched Sion hard in the eye.
Sean dodged swiftly and then summoned his spirit form.
His mental power level is A-, and he can amplify his spiritual body to a certain extent.
But this time, it was much bigger than the last time I saw it.
The cobra appeared with its scarlet tongue spitting out, immediately attracting countless cheers and shouts from the audience.
The first three challengers didn't even get to see Sean's spirit body.
Obviously he doesn't want to reveal his strength so early.
With the addition of the little snake, the thick and agile snake body coordinated with every punch of Sean in a tacit understanding, and soon the giant monster was beaten back repeatedly.
"Are you bullying me because I don't have a spiritual body?" The giant monster roared, swung two fists that were bigger than Ji Zi's head, and smashed them hard into the ground.
Immediately, two terrifying deep pits were dug in the ground.
Sean's eyes were sharp, and he remained calm and composed in the ring, not at all provoked by his opponent's words or actions.
[Damn snake man, I have to find a way to make him let down his guard.]
Sean read the giant monster's thoughts and focused more and more.
Next, he anticipated every punch thrown by the giant monster and counterattacked with all his strength.
As the giant monster, which was more than two meters tall and looked like a wall, fell down.
Suddenly someone in the audience raised their hand and yelled, "Snake Man violated the rules!"
"Snake Man used a cheat device!"
The fourth game is over.
Three referees immediately came on the scene and pinned Sean against the fence for a close search, but ultimately found nothing unusual.
"Impossible! I just read his lips!"
"When the fat man threw the last punch, he clearly said, 'First, throw a right hook as a feint, then throw an uppercut.'"
"If he wasn't cheating, how could he have perfectly predicted the fat man's punching method?"
Sean took off the protective cover on his head, followed the sound, and caught sight of the person who reported him from the audience.
It turned out to be him.
A month ago, he knocked the loser out with three punches.
Sean took off his heavy boxing gloves and explained to the audience with a stifled laugh, "I'm sorry, maybe because I was having so much fun fighting just now, I accidentally got a level up."
"What?"
"You actually got promoted from A- to A so quickly?"
Ji Zi quickly checked his mental power level and found that he had indeed successfully advanced in the previous competition.
When a Sentinel is promoted to A-level or above for the first time, both his body and spirit will undergo a powerful evolution.
So, is this a coincidence?
It is indeed easy for Sentinels to accumulate experience in battle, but grades A- to A represent the threshold for advanced Sentinels, and are also the most difficult grades to cross.
When the two of them were establishing a spiritual connection just now, Ji Zi clearly felt an unfamiliar warm current surging in her body.
It was as if something was slowly entering the body, competing with what was already there.
It is only now slowly merging.
She touched her lower abdomen, which felt warm and comfortable.
At the same time, she discovered that her five senses seemed to have been greatly enhanced.
Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
So this is the world as seen by the sentinels?
It is many times clearer and more specific than before.
The referee checked and found nothing wrong, so the game continued.
Sean took the time out of his busy schedule to glance at her, using his consciousness to convey his true feelings at the moment.
"I will definitely get that nutrient solution for you."
Ji Zi’s inner thoughts: Actually, it doesn’t matter whether she gets it or not. She’s just here to join in the fun and get to know what the outside world is like.
Sean sensed it and firmly refused.
"No, I'm willing to risk my life and fight for you."
This... made her not know how to respond.
They don't have a very close relationship, and the marks and spiritual connections are temporary and will disappear after three days.
The brief moment of distraction left Sean with several wounds.
The fifth challenger was also a Sentinel like him.
He was wearing silver-white armor, revealing only a pair of eyes that were faintly glowing red.
"Isn't this a foul?"
"What?" Xiu was stunned. "You mean, armor?"
Ji Zi complained angrily, "That's right! How can you wear armor in a boxing match?"
Xiu couldn't stop laughing and reached out to smooth down the few silver-purple hairs on the top of her head that were trembling and standing up due to excitement.
"Honey, this is the black market."
"Then why doesn't the Sai...Snake Man wear it?"
Xiu patiently explained everything to her one by one.
"Because his spirit form is a snake, his skin is his best soft armor. He doesn't even bother wearing any armor. Besides, once that guy puts on those gloves, no one can be his opponent."
These words suddenly reminded Ji Zi of the man she met before entering the arena.
She asked Xiu, "So you also think he will win? Did you place a bet on him?"
She wanted to hear Xiu's true feelings.
"have no idea."
"Tonight's match is a gambling match that Snake Man personally requested from the black market boss. If he wins, he will get a generous reward and freedom."
"If he loses, he will be sold to the black market forever until the end of his life."
Xiu was very cunning. He neither answered her question directly nor gave her some useful information.
So much so that Ji Zi didn't even hear his true emotions.
Is it hidden on purpose?
For the entire next game, Ji Zi's attention was focused on the man next to her.
Even Sean's eventual victory was met with a lukewarm response.
Xiu noticed her taut jawline.
I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the top of her head again.
But this time, she dodged backwards quickly.
Xiu's hand paused in mid-air, and he withdrew it with a little embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Did I upset you in some way, my beautiful guide?"
She pursed her lips and didn't answer.
A whole game.
Ji Zi didn't hear any more words from Xiu's heart.
Did he notice it?
Halfway through the game, Sean asked the referee for a ten-minute break.
Taking off his huge boxing gloves, he jumped down from the ring and came to Ji Zi.
His eyes were hot, as if wet with sweat.
"Five games left."
She handed him the towel to wipe his sweat, "Yes, there are five games left. Do you need me to comfort you?"
