Chapter 10

Seeing Gu Ding's data, many people in the stands shook their heads and mourned for Gu Ding.

"Poor little guy, he has no idea how strong his opponent is, right?"

"Maybe he was nervous and accidentally pressed the button when he saw the match just now."

"Will his head be twisted off by that guy and be kicked around like a ball?"

Almost no one in the stands was optimistic about Gu Ding. They were all pessimistic.

To avoid affecting the battle, the ring and the stands were soundproof. Gu Ding could not hear what the people outside were discussing. Even if he heard it, he would not care.

In the Primary Arena, everyone's Cell Index was set at 100 points by the system, and the various data of the body was distributed according to the actual condition of each person's body. If a person's Cell Index was 10, Cell Strength was 2, and Cell Activity was 3. In the Primary Arena, the Cell Index would be 100, Cell Strength would be increased to 20, and Cell Activity would be increased to 30.

A Cell Index of 100 points was the limit that a Rank 3 Gene Body could achieve under normal circumstances. In the Primary Arena, only Gene Bodies of Rank 3 and below were allowed to participate in the competition. A Cell Index of 100 points was enough for the participants to maximize the power of their moves and hone their combat skills. Moreover, the proportional distribution of data allowed everyone to retain their own combat style and characteristics.

Gu Ding, who was standing in the ring, felt his body full of power. The feeling of power made his muscles tremble with excitement. Although this body was only virtual, it perfectly simulated the feedback of the human body. However, Gu Ding did not know that his trembling was fear and nervousness in the eyes of the onlookers and his opponent.

"Hehe, little guy, you're trembling with fear. Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly. " The bald man had a cruel smile on his face. "I will first break your arms, then break your legs, and finally twist your head off."

"It sounds scary, but do you have the strength to do it?" Gu Ding grinned.

Seeing the seemingly mocking smile on Gu Ding's face, the bald man's face was full of anger. His huge body jumped up, and his thick right hand clenched into a fist.

Gu Ding's expression was slightly solemn. He stood in place and put on the Ultimate Arts stance. When the bald man's figure approached, he swung his fist. "Steel Fist!"

That thin fist and the bald man's huge fist collided fiercely.

"Boom!" The sound of an explosion was heard. It did not sound like the sound of two fists colliding, but more like a cannon. A moment later, something even more incredible happened. The strong bald man flew backward, and his right hand had completely disappeared. His entire body began to shatter from his right arm, and it did not take long for him to disappear from the ring.

The bald man's face was still full of shock when he re-materialized his body below the ring. He looked up at Gu Ding in the ring and saw that he was unscathed. Only then did he realize the difference between them. He lowered his head in disappointment.

Gu Ding remained standing in the ring. He had no intention of stepping down from the ring. His Steel Fist had the effect of a cannon strike, which gave him a deeper understanding of Ultimate Arts. The main reason why he could not unleash the power of these moves was that his body was not strong enough. In this ring, the virtual Cell Index had reached the height of 100 points. Not only could he familiarize himself with the moves he had already learned, but he could also practice the follow-up moves that he could not practice due to his body's limitations.

"It seems that contestant 'This Killer Isn't Afraid of the Cold' has no intention of stopping after an upset. Is there anyone else who dares to accept his challenge? "The commentator's voice came again, and his tone was provocative.

"It's pretty powerful …" Gu Ding looked down at his fist. He had not expected to finish off his opponent in one blow. He had expected to tremble for a while.

Just as Gu Ding was a little distracted, another person was teleported into the ring. He looked like he was in his twenties and looked very ordinary. He wore a white suit that did not quite fit him. However, his ID was "Awoken by My Handsomeness Every Day".

Gu Ding looked at his opponent's ranking. It was 1127809, which was lower than the bald man from before.

"You were lucky just now, but now that you've met me, you can only be my stepping stone." The contestant in the white suit struck a pose that he thought was handsome and pointed at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding grinned. "Go ahead and give it a try."

The contestant in the white suit took a step forward, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows and stepped forward with a Silent Step. He appeared in front of his opponent faster than his opponent and punched out with another Steel Fist. The white suit flew out and slammed hard into the protective shield. His body quickly shattered and reappeared outside the ring.

"It seems that this guy not only has terrifying strength, but he also has extraordinary speed. He's really tricky." Below the ring, some people who did not pay much attention to Gu Ding began to notice Gu Ding's performance.

Soon, another challenger appeared in the ring.

Ranked 1089911, Killed in One Move.

Ranked 1054231, Killed in One Move.

Ranked 1011379, Killed in One Move.

Ranked 996504, Killed in One Move.

…

At this point, Gu Ding had won six matches in a row, and his ranking had risen to within one million. His rapid rise in the ranking had also attracted the attention of the arena's staff.

A woman with short blonde hair put her black leather boots on the monitor and watched Gu Ding's battle videos several times. After a while, she took out a small makeup mirror from her red handbag. She looked at herself in the mirror and said to the side, "See if there are any empty spots in the top 500,000. Arrange for them to fight this kid."

"Understood!" A tall man in a suit and leather shoes nodded respectfully, then waved at the staff beside him and gave them instructions.

Pascher was a little baffled that the staff had arranged for him to fight a guy who was ranked 990,000. He was now ranked 500137 and was just a step away from crossing the threshold of 500,000. However, the arena's offer was hard for him to refuse. If he won, he would get a bottle of good quality E-grade gene enhancement medicine. For him, who was still a Rank 2 Gene Body, this gene enhancement medicine might be able to promote him to a Rank 3 Gene Body. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.

When Pasheer appeared in the ring, many people in the stands exclaimed. It was not that contestants who were ranked around 500,000 were rare, but generally, contestants of this level would not take the initiative to challenge contestants below 600,000.

When Gu Ding saw his opponent's ranking, he was stunned.

"Hehe, it seems that your performance has attracted the attention of some big shots. They've specially picked a challenging opponent for you." Neptune's laughter reached Gu Ding's ears unabashedly.

Gu Ding grinned, and his eyes were like a beast staring at its prey. After a few matches, he began to show his edge, and his eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight.
