Chapter 414 (2/2)

When the second step was completed, an astonis.h.i.+ng might was unleashed, making him look like a G.o.d that had descended to the mortal world. Thundering lightning bolts rumbled everywhere, and even s.p.a.ce itself was torn apart.

”Roar!”

With a miserable howl, the bear king collapsed heavily onto the ground. He bled from his eyes, nose, and mouth, presenting a dreadful scene. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun withdrew his aura. More than half his astral energy had been drained. The battle had exhausted more energy than the previous two battles combined.

One really can't afford to be careless in the Bloodsin Arena, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

He had a.s.sumed that the bear was a simple-minded opponent with only brute strength, but he had been completely mistaken. Not one demonic beast capable of living in human territory was one without intelligence. In fact, some of them could be extremely crafty. A regular fifth-stage King would have been killed by that slam attack. He had only survived due to his tough body and defense.

The people around the arena were all stunned. Xiang Shaoyun had been hit by two ma.s.sive attacks from the bear king, and it seemed so obvious that he wasn't going to survive. Yet he was able to reverse the situation. With two stomps, he stomped the bear known for his strong defenses to death. They found it hard to believe.

After a long while, someone finally woke up from the shock and cried out in alarm, ”The bear king is dead! This brings an end to his winning streak! This Xiang Shaoyun is too strong!”

”He is only a third-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. I'm now sure he is a genuine Super King.”

”Look at his frail and thin body. I never would have thought that he would be a match for the strongbear king. Looks like I have underestimated him.”

”Once again, the Gambler's Law is proven to be right. Although I did not make much from this bet due to the payout, it is still a win.”

...

When the people looked at Xiang Shaoyun again, respect and admiration were visible in their eyes. This was a King with a terrifying potential of growth. Even these vicious criminals respected strength. In a certain corner, a middle-aged man was holding a pearl, recording everything that had happened.

”Possessing such combat prowess at such a young age. I wonder which organization he is a young master of. I need to figure that out immediately. I hope his background isn't too crazy. Only then will I have a chance to recruit him. If I can recruit someone like this, it will be an accomplishment of great merit,” said the middle-aged man with an expectant look.

He then waved his hand at the person beside him and said, ”Go investigate his background.”

”Yes, lord,” the person answered respectfully before vanis.h.i.+ng amid the crowd of pedestrians.

At a different corner was a different old man who had also recorded everything that had happened. With his eyes narrowed, he muttered, ”It is hard to see his background from the way he fights. The Lightning Bolt Fist is a very common battle technique. But his tiger energy is so pure. Is he from the Tiger Palace? But the people of the Tiger Palace rarely come here.”

At yet another corner was a person of unknown gender wearing a cloak with a hood. They were also muttering, ”This kid is a Super King. We have to recruit him. In 100 years, he will be yet another Emperor of Emperors!”

A similar scene was happening at several other locations. Xiang Shaoyun had successfully caught all of the scouts' attention.
