Chapter 885: Chapter 880: I Surrender! Spare Me!

The Natives’ Life Value—ordinary Templates aren’t too bad, they don’t get any extra boost.

But above the Elite Template level, they generally all have World Waymark bonuses, and also gain additional maximum Life Value.

You can say everyone’s a Blood Bull now; wanting to do it like in Heart Demon World and casually insta-kill with a flick of the wrist is extremely hard!

In the ten circles in the arena, battles were raging like Fire.

Some Awakened had already seen the timing as ripe and picked a circle to join the fight.

After all this is a racing mission: rack up 10 wins and you’ll be the first to finish.

Worth mentioning, the other 9 circles all had people stepping in, but the first circle—the leader of the Bloodsail Pirates, Iron Spine Balrog—still had no one daring to challenge him.

Iron Spine Balrog was very displeased; he shouted toward Bald Thess, "Hey! If nobody dares challenge me, how’s that supposed to count?"

Bald Thess raised his head and looked toward the nobles on the second floor.

Elder Karamango smiled and said, "We’ll take one hour as the limit. If nobody challenges someone within that time, he directly wins the match."

Iron Spine Balrog finally nodded in satisfaction, put down the Gladiatorial Arena-issued broadsword, and plopped straight down on the ground to rest.

However, a clear voice suddenly rang out:

"I’ll challenge you."

Bai Pu carried his Long Spear and stepped into Iron Spine Balrog’s circle!

This Long Spear, in appearance, was the standard competitive weapon issued by the Gladiatorial Arena, but in reality it was the manifested form of "Doomsday."

In Bai Pu’s eyes, Iron Spine Balrog’s Combat Power virtual frame had already clearly appeared—

["Iron Spine" Balrog (Elite Level 11)]

[Attributes: Power 300, Agility 110, Endurance 200, Spirit 80]

[Combat Power: 13800]

This was a Level 11 Elite, with a Combat Power Amplitude of roughly 20 times.

Judging by Combat Power, he was about the same as "Black-haired Chi Lijia." And Black-haired Chi Lijia was ranked fourth in Combat Power on the prediction list!

Among the Awakened Major Generals matched to Melt Iron City, there wasn’t a single one in the top ten of the combat ranking. No wonder none of the Awakened Major Generals dared to challenge Iron Spine Balrog.

"Just you?" Balrog snickered coldly and stood up. "You’re asking for your own death!"

Bai Pu merely smiled and said nothing. His challenge to Balrog was based on deep consideration, and right now he disdained trading verbal barbs with a Native. He stepped forward at once, Long Spear thrusting out.

Everyone else—Awakened and Natives alike—seeing that someone actually dared challenge Iron Spine Balrog, all gathered around.

Clang!

The Long Spear and broadsword clashed, blasting out an ear-splitting sound wave.

To everyone’s slack-jawed astonishment, the one knocked backward by the shock was actually Iron Spine Balrog!

By now Bai Pu had already poured all 80 Celestial Human Attribute points into Power, and also activated Celestial Descent!

His Power Attribute had already reached 225 + 30 (Doomsday Spear) + 160 (Celestial Descent) = 415!

Adding in the Profession Passive and Equipment Special Effect that boosted his Offensive Power Judgment, Bai Pu’s "Offensive Power Resistance Value" had already broken the 500 mark. Both his arms, overloaded with Power, looked swollen by a ring, veins bulging across the surface of his skin, green cords bursting out!

Iron Spine Balrog had always been proud of his 300 Power. Seeing this strike from Bai Pu without any Fighting Qi infused, he also chose not to use any. The two were purely contesting physical strength.

He never imagined the gap in raw physical strength would be this massive!

Balrog’s feet failed to find solid footing; he staggered backward.

Bai Pu activated the Four Symbols Shield, his feet stepping Illusionary Steps, clinging to Balrog like maggots on a bone. His Long Spear stabbed and jabbed, the spear edge loaded with tremendous Power, constantly beating at and widening Balrog’s openings.

Balrog could never catch his breath; in that destabilized state he couldn’t even raise Fighting Qi Body Protection, getting driven back again and again, his figure floating unsteadily.

When the opening was finally large enough, Bai Pu gave a spear-lift and sent Balrog flying.

The next second, the Four Symbols Shield shrouding Bai Pu’s body vanished, and the Fighting Qi Sharpness, condensed to the extreme, focused onto the spear tip.

Balrog felt a powerful death threat!

This sort of direct brush with death—Balrog had only ever experienced it when his pirate gang captain, the Bloodsail Admiral Moerkins, flew into a rage.

"I surrender! Spare me!"

Balrog panicked, his Thought Sensation Fluctuation spreading across the entire arena—he no longer cared about much of anything. Originally, he only needed to send the Thought Sensation Fluctuation to Bai Pu to express his intent to admit defeat. But in his desperation, Balrog broadcast it across the whole field.

For a moment, the entire arena was stunned.

The spectators who weren’t being locked by Bai Pu’s[Four Symbols Appearance - Cannon Bombing]couldn’t feel that wave of death threat. They could only judge from the density of Energy condensed in that strike that its power was extraordinary, but none of them thought it could insta-kill Balrog.

After all, Balrog’s Life Value was as high as 36000! To insta-kill him, you’d need to deal final damage figures of 12000+ in a single hit, and it’d have to be a Vital Attack...

Balrog’s plea for mercy made everyone realize the threat level of this strike was far more terrifying than they’d imagined.

Fortunately, Bai Pu withdrew the Long Spear and gave Balrog a kick, sending him sprawling.

The Energy on the Doomsday Spear Tip slowly dispersed.

Iron Spine Balrog sat on the ground, covered in dust, staring at Bai Pu with fear in his eyes.

In this exchange, although he’d been arrogant at the start and hadn’t used Fighting Qi Energy, Bai Pu likewise hadn’t used any.

In raw physical strength he’d been crushed; as for Fighting Qi intensity... that lingering aftertaste of death from just now was something Balrog did not want to experience again.

Thunk!

Bai Pu drove the Long Spear into the ground, burying it a foot deep. He leaned against the shaft of the Doomsday Spear, sat cross-legged on the ground, not saying a word, waiting for the next challenger.

A true expert’s demeanor—he’d pulled off a full-on show-off.

Yet whether Native or Awakened, no one wanted to step up and try.

The Natives, seeing Balrog nearly insta-killed, compared this to their own strength and naturally refused to go up just to die.

The Awakened Major Generals were all sending Thought Sensation Fluctuations, secret voice transmissions, or whispering within the team channel.

"Boss Melt Arm, who is this guy? There’s no strong expert using a Long Spear in the prediction rankings!"

"Yeah. Iron Spine Balrog, as a Native pirate leader, judging purely by hard strength, is enough to go top ten on the prediction list! This guy can insta-kill him; he could at least rank top three, right? Boss Melt Arm, have you heard of him?"

The huge Awakened Major General codenamed "Melt Arm" stood two meters tall. In the eyes of the Natives he was a crude big fellow in filthy sackcloth, with an especially thick right arm. But in "Melt Arm’s" Awakened teammates’ eyes, they could see his true appearance.

"Melt Arm" Bart’s upper body was engraved with Spirit Patterns like Molten Rock veining, and his right arm was a mechanical prosthetic Arm Armor, Molten Rock surging through the gaps as well.

"I know who he is."

Melt Arm Bart said in a deep voice, "Weapon is a Long Spear, clearly has prediction top-ten level strength yet isn’t on the list... He’s ’Gangxin,’ Planet Lord of Cyan Dragon 287, arch-enemy of the Red Race."

"Arch-enemy of the Red Race? Then we can rope him in; that’s a powerful hitter." someone said.

Melt Arm Bart grinned. "I heard the intel on Gangxin from Rein. This ’Gangxin’ lord is someone even Rein deeply respects. You wanna rope him in as your hitter? No way. Becoming his lackeys would be more realistic... are you truly willing to do that?"
