Bu did not know that at this moment, someone in the crowd had developed a murderous intent against him. Otherwise, given his nature, he would have stopped at nothing to kill the opponent and would not have allowed them to find an opportunity to conspire against him.
"This grudge must be avenged after this Peak Showdown ends. Even if this bastard named Brent escapes to Holy Light Academy, I will ask King for permission to go kill him. Otherwise, for today's negligence, even with my strength, I cannot escape being severely punished by King."
In the crowd, The Man in the Black Cloak had a fierce expression. Although he did not dare to act rashly due to the warning from Gray-Robed Elder, his murderous intent remained strong. Especially when he thought of King’s severe punishment, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes, as if just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
It was only when The Man in the Black Cloak's killing intent gradually dissipated and his figure retreated into the crowd that Gray-Robed Elder on the azure giant beast finally withdrew his gaze. He glanced at Sean Sterling, who also sensed something, and nodded with a smile.
At this moment, there was silence across the ten Arenas. All the contestants were caught off guard; the strongest contender for the championship, Gaia, had actually been killed by Bu. Many showed expressions of fear, and Claire trembled with a pale face, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
This was already the second member of the Royal Family that Bu had killed. Although they belonged to different factions, they were all individuals of extremely high status. Claire felt a chill in his heart and secretly rejoiced that he had not challenged Bu; otherwise, he wouldn't be alive to stand here now.
To him, all of this felt like terror, as if it formed a nightmare. Just seeing Bu's cold eyes made him lose all courage and dare not entertain any thoughts of resistance.
"This Brent is too strange. Gaia's strength is extraordinary; even when I use my ring, I only have a thirty percent chance of defeating Gaia. Yet he was able to kill his opponent in such a short time. Despite looking injured himself, he must have paid a heavy price."
His injury might be an opportunity. If I could miraculously defeat him, first place would be mine. But if my guess is wrong and this Brent has other means he hasn't used yet—if his injuries aren't as severe as they appear—then fighting him would be extremely dangerous.
In another Arena, Arno rubbed the ancient ring between his fingers, his eyes flickering as he gazed at Bu in contemplation. After a long while, he looked again at the shriveled corpse on the ground and shook his head with a sigh: "Forget it; challenging this person is too risky. With my current points, I am already guaranteed second place. If I fail because I covet first place and end up last instead, it wouldn't be worth it."
"Gaia's challenge has failed; seventy points are deducted due to his death and will not count towards rankings. Nine remain in the top ten. Brent successfully defended his position and gained seventy points, currently holding first place with a total of two hundred points."
After a long time, Hill came back to his senses from his astonishment and looked at Bu with an expression of intrigue before slowly announcing the results of the duel. As soon as he finished speaking, two guards rushed onto the stage cautiously maneuvering around Bu’s body to lift Gaia's shriveled cold corpse and prepare to leave the Arena.
"Wait."
A cold voice rang out. The two guards trembled and quickly halted their steps, turning around respectfully with their heads lowered, waiting for orders.
"According to our previous bet, this person has lost; all his belongings belong to me as my spoils." As the two guards bowed their heads, Bu narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke. As he spoke these words, his hands rested on the Taiyuan Spear still piercing through Gaia's chest—one hand fixed its end while the other yanked it out forcefully.
With a "thud," blood mixed with flesh splattered onto the faces of the two guards. Instantly their faces twitched in horror as fear intensified in their eyes; they silently lowered their heads even further and slowly placed Gaia's cold corpse down.
This scene fell into the eyes of The Man in the Black Cloak among the crowd. Although he was unclear about the situation, the suppressed Fury and killing intent within him surged once again, his eyes nearly replaced by a sea of blood, filled with endless rage.
As two guards lowered Gaia's body, Step waved his hand, and the two retreated to the side. Holding the Taiyuan Spear, Step did not immediately examine the properties of this semi-legendary weapon. Instead, as he stepped forward, his focus sharpened, scanning the unremarkable black bracelet on Gaia's wrist.
“Storage Bracelet
Category: Jewelry
Required Equipment Level: Level (Unique)
Attributes: Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Spirit +1
Special Effect: Contains storage space
Material: Excellent
Weight: 1 gram
Description: A crystallization created by spatial divine arts and alchemy, exceptionally precious.”
“Indeed, it's a Storage Bracelet,” Bu Shuang's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and, under Hill's strange gaze and amidst the astonished crowd, directly removed the black bracelet from Gaia's corpse and cheerfully put it on his wrist.
“Damn it!!!” The Man in the Black Cloak hidden in the crowd watched all of this unfold. Upon seeing Step shamelessly wear the black bracelet, his mouth trembled in anger, and a mouthful of blood spurted out; he was actually injured by his rage. Despite this, he still endured without revealing himself, his eyes nearly bursting with fury.
Step remained calm as usual. After putting on the black bracelet, he waved his hand for the two guards to carry away Gaia's body. His Mental Power extended and merged into the bracelet.
In an instant, his consciousness entered a peculiar space.
This space was quite small, only about three cubic meters. Inside this cramped area were various items; some were brand new clothes that were extraordinary. With just a glance, Step could tell that at least four or five pieces belonged to Excellence Level Amplification Equipment.
Next to these clothes were dozens of palm-sized shimmering jade stones; these were Azure Jade, exceptionally precious materials for martial artists.
Beside the Azure Jade were several wooden boxes. Bu Yi Shi did not know what was inside but could guess that whatever was in those boxes must be extremely valuable based on their exquisite carvings.
There were many other scattered items as well, but Step did not examine them all individually. He slowly withdrew his Mental Power and exited this storage space.
The items stored in the Storage Bracelet greatly satisfied Step. With a smile, he turned his gaze to the Taiyuan Spear he held.
Instead of directly focusing on examining the specific properties of the Taiyuan Spear, Step looked around and met Arno’s gaze from a distance.
He remembered that among all remaining contestants, only Arno had one challenge opportunity left unused. If Arno wanted to challenge someone, it could only be him. However, since he had just finished battling Gaia, there was a stipulated rest period before another challenge could occur; this was also why Elena had not rushed him.
With a calm gaze withdrawn from Arno, Step slowly sat cross-legged. The thousands of people still focused their attention on him; some pointed and gasped in admiration while others whispered among themselves. Yet among so many people—those who hated him or envied him—none dared to look at him again. The earlier mockery of being called a soft egg had been completely ignored by everyone.
Unobtrusively pulling out a box containing Black Lotus Elixir from his pocket, Step pondered for a moment before opening it. He used his nail to pick at it and placed a piece of ointment in his mouth where it melted instantly.
Although he could not see any fighting spirit in Arno's eyes, nothing was absolute. If the opponent was also probing his strengths and weaknesses before issuing a challenge, then in his current severely injured state, his chances of defeating the opponent did not exceed sixty percent.
Especially when he thought of the opponent's extremely strange finger techniques, Bu felt that without using Bloodline Transformation, it would be very difficult to win.
Moreover, at this moment, his Bloodline Transformation had entered a cooldown state, and even the four auxiliary skills of the Destruction Set could not be activated in a short time. If he were to face the battle in such a state, relying solely on the tenth sword of Ethereal Thirteen Swords, he doubted he could withstand the terrifying consumption of life potential.
"Fortunately, the explosion of the tenth sword did not reach its limit; this should be due to the pressure from Gaia. It was not as intense as Habea III's strike yesterday; otherwise, I would certainly not have sustained just this minor injury. Even if I had consumed Gaia's blood, it would likely still not compensate for the depletion of my vitality, leading to a significant reduction in combat power."
Feeling the cells within his body surging, with a tingling sensation coming from the wound in his chest, Bu Chenmo remained silent. As thoughts swirled in his mind, more energy surged forth, rapidly activating the medicinal effects at an extremely fast speed, causing his internal injuries to heal at a terrifying recovery rate.
Defeating Gaia was a process that seemed simple and quick, appearing as easy as reaching into a pocket. However, within this brief battle, all of Bu's focus was concentrated, unleashing all his combat power. With various powerful techniques continuously displayed, he managed to kill and win in just ten seconds!
Before this battle, although Bu had thoughts of killing Gaia, he was not very confident about whether he could truly achieve it.
In fact, it was somewhat fortunate; if at the end Gaia had not been completely shaken and forgotten to concede out of fear, perhaps it would have been another situation. At that time, Gaia might have been saved by Hill at the moment of conceding defeat, preserving both his life and his spot as a student at Holy Light Academy.
With Gaia's temperament, if he did not die and entered Holy Light Academy to mingle with that treacherous Beck, it would be like having a ticking time bomb buried beneath Bu's feet. He could never know when it might deliver a fatal blow to him, which Bu could not tolerate.
