Chapter 296: Even if I Die, It’s Worth the Ticket Price (2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Endless Deathmatch Arena, welcome a new challenger!”“The base Life Force of this challenger is about 2.2 billion. We are now seeking Purgatory Elites with a strength between 2 and 3 billion to meet his challenge!”
“Please sign up eagerly!”
Actually, there was no need for the green-faced ferocious demon to stir up the atmosphere.
As Jiang Chen stood in the center of the Deathmatch Arena, the surrounding Purgatory demons were already boiling with excitement, and the waves of battle intent almost turned the entire sky red.
The moment the words of the green-faced ferocious demon ended,
a dark-colored meteor flew out from the Ring Mountain Range and thunderously landed.
The blast wave dissipated with dust, revealing a ten-meter-tall, minotaur-like monster on the field.
It was clad in black armor, carrying a huge mace, its voice deep and resonant.
“Let me be the first, to test the depths of this youngster!”
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over, and a stream of information flowed through his mind.
[Type: Bovine Demon]
[Base Strength: About 2.5 billion (contains a power core, capable of explosive potential)]
[Type Inference: Assassin-type warrior, possesses a variety of Enigmatic Abilities, has both burst and speed, lacks defensive capabilities.]
[Recommended Approach: Just hit it.]
The [Extreme Battle Soul] trait not only provided Jiang Chen with combat prediction,
but the endless information perceived through the spirit also amounted to activating an “Appraisal Spell”.
He could sense and analyze the enemy’s fundamental attributes, strengths, and other information through the aura they emitted.
For enemies like Purgatory Asuras, who could conceal their martial souls, the analysis might not be so clear.
However, for weaker foes, he could grasp all details, even the color of their underwear.
“So, let the battle begin!”
As the green-faced ferocious demon’s words faded, it dissolved into a shadow and disappeared.
But the Bovine Demon did not move. Instead, it stood carrying its mace, silently watching Jiang Chen.
After a second of waiting, it spoke with confusion.
“You are challenging the Mecha separately… You must be a physique type mecha pilot, right?”
“Why not activate your physical abilities to enhance yourself?”
“And your weapon, do you plan to fight me barehanded?”
“…No need.”
Hearing Jiang Chen’s response,
the Bovine Demon was taken aback and grinned fiercely, revealing a hideous smile.
“Good, I hope you can still be this arrogant later…”
Before its words ended,
the air behind Jiang Chen shifted slightly, and a mace swung out from the void, viciously smashing towards his back.
Its speed was extremely fast, silent, and without a trace.
With a thunderous crash!
The ground trembled, and rings of fractures spread out.
Yet, in the cracked earth and stones, there was no sign of blood spatter.
Jiang Chen landed, his toes tapping on top of the mace as he shook his head with a light chuckle.
“Wearing armor and wielding a mace, one might think you’re a berserker, using a clone to talk and draw attention, while the real body makes a stealth attack…”
“Old bull, you do not uphold martial virtue.”
“…In the Deathmatch Arena, only the victor matters.”
Seeing that his stealth attack had been exposed, the Bovine Demon no longer hid its killing intent.
It opened its mouth wide, and intense sound waves spread out.
These sound waves could make souls tremble, causing all enemies within range to shudder uncontrollably, unable to move for a short period.
As the Bovine Demon roared, it swung the mace in its hand downward.
On the other side, the “clone” Bovine Demon also charged over, mace in hand, with equal speed.
Their combined attacks intensified dramatically, complementing each other’s output frequency!
Moreover, the Bovine Demon, standing ten meters tall, swung its mace, which was almost as large as a bus.
Each swing covered an extensive area, making it virtually impossible to dodge.
However,
amidst such wide-ranging attacks, Jiang Chen appeared extremely composed.
The maces missed him by a hair’s breadth, and even the fragments of broken rock seemed to dodge his body…
Indeed, they became his stepping stones.
As he lifted his foot, the scattered stones, swinging maces, and the Bovine Demon’s arms, “coincidentally” appeared below, supporting him as he stepped upward.
When he reached higher ground, he lifted his foot, turned, and delivered a side kick—
What seemed like an ordinary kick, actually contained exquisitely intricate techniques, unleashing a force of 88 billion from a foundation strength of 22 billion.
Moreover, it struck precisely at the weak spot of the Bovine Demon, landing a critical hit.
Thus, the strike had a power of 132 billion, amplified by 1.5 times!
Bang!!!
The head of the Bovine Demon twisted, its bones shattered, blood splattered, as if struck by a heavy hammer, it was blasted directly into the ground.
The other Bovine Demon, merely from the backlash of that one strike, shattered like glass.
A good few seconds passed.
In what had become a deep pit in the Deathmatch Arena, with its head distorted and body drenched in blood, the demon clutching its club, struggled to its feet.
“To have such toughness without any defensive abilities, just relying on your physique, huh.”
Jiang Chen clicked his tongue and lifted his foot again, this time kicking its chest.
Bang!!
After the injury, the physical strength of the Bovine Demon had already declined, and its Life Force was far from sufficient.
Meeting another critical hit on its weak spot, it was destroyed by brute strength and burst into a spray of blood.
The abyss atmosphere surged into the Abyss Rune, forming letters that appeared.
[You have slain a Dark Hell Minotaur and acquired an Epic module: Sonic Soul Impact (supercharged).]
[You have won the Endless Challenge, current win streak: 1 (Win streak calculated upon conclusion of the Endless Challenge).]
The base attributes of the Bovine Demon were almost the same as Jiang Chen’s, yet it was merely an ordinary abyssal creature.
The gap in combat power was too large, Jiang Chen didn’t even need to go all out, two kicks were enough to kill it.
After its death,
Jiang Chen specifically felt the Star Phoenix Primordial Blood settled inside his body, finding no signs of it being digested.
That’s to be expected.
The meaning of specialization is “to adapt to the individual’s special evolution.”
Digestion requires combat—it’s also by relying on this aspect that mecha pilots are compelled to feel an innate desire for Mythical power, thereby inducing resonance between their trait and the primordial blood.
This battle wasn’t even enough for a warm-up, naturally, there was little to no effect on digestion.
Jiang Chen gazed around at the Ring Mountain Range.
According to his preference, it would be best to face a 9th Rank abyssal creature right away, to warm up, and then gradually increase his combat power.
However, the rules of the Endless Deathmatch Arena were fixed—
Jiang Chen, as a challenger, possessed an 8th Rank strength of 22 billion.
Hence, the enemy would start from 20 billion to 30 billion, increasing by 10 billion strength after each victory, without the possibility to accelerate or decelerate this progression.
No one could change this fact.
“After slaying ten monsters, I can raise the strength by 100 billion…”
“With a quick grind, it won’t take long.”
Jiang Chen smiled and spoke,
“Next.”
“…”
The Ring Mountain Range was silent.
The endless hundred demons that were just now cheering and excitedly watching the battle, were now, like mute spectators, staring dumbfounded at the center of the arena.
Most of the demons present from the Infinite Purgatory, almost all possessed traits such as [Weapons Master], [Weapons Grandmaster], and the like.
They could naturally discern the power used by Jiang Chen just now—
[Extreme Battle Soul].
This wasn’t just a Legendary Trait unique to the Infinite Purgatory.
It was also the signature trait of the Asura clan within the Infinite Purgatory.
In that clan, nearly every Asura’s first awakened Legendary Trait was the [Extreme Battle Soul].
Among them, the most powerful Purgatory Asura had even reached a higher realm, becoming one of the overlords of the Infinite Purgatory.
Therefore, many of the ghosts and demons of the Infinite Purgatory, especially the ones in the Deathmatch Arena,
were attempting to emulate the growth path of the Asura clan, trying to awaken the corresponding power.
However, the successful ones were few and far between.
Now, this power that the demons had been yearning for day and night had appeared on an 8th Rank human mecha pilot?
That was… amazing!
After a brief silence, the Endless Deathmatch Arena erupted with enthusiasm tenfold, a hundredfold greater than before.
They stared fixatedly at Jiang Chen in the center of the arena, wishing they could immediately rush into the Deathmatch Arena to fight him and experience the power of the Extreme Battle Soul up close!
At the moment when the rest time ended, another demon fell into the arena, uttering an exhilarated roar.
In an instant, Jiang Chen stood behind it.
“Next.”
