Chapter 11

Pashtur was not a talented martialist. His current ranking was achieved through his own efforts, one step at a time. Although his opponent's ranking was not high, he did not dare to slack off. He carefully looked at his opponent.

The moment he saw Gu Ding, Pashtur realized that this battle was going to be a difficult one. He had participated in more than five hundred battles in the Arena. Although he did not dare to say that he could tell the strength of his opponent at a glance, he could still judge some things based on experience.

His opponent's momentum was obviously on the rise, which meant that he had a few consecutive wins in the previous battles. Moreover, from the look in his opponent's eyes, he was definitely a dangerous person.

"Let's test him out first." Since he was not confident, he decided to test Gu Ding's skills first. He took a few consecutive steps, and his figure flickered on and off in the ring. He attacked Gu Ding from a strange angle.

Gu Ding stood still. His opponent's movement technique was extremely light, and the angle of his attack was also quite strange. It was obvious that he was a veteran of hundreds of battles. The best way to deal with changes was to stay put.

When his opponent's fist approached his waist, Gu Ding deflected the force with a Thunder Elbow. Then, he pointed his Terminating Finger straight at his opponent's heart. Gu Ding's attack was so fast that Pashtur barely managed to react. He protected his heart with his palm, but he was still knocked back.

Pashtur retreated a few meters before he could regain his footing. His right palm was completely shattered, and there were cracks on the ribs on his chest. That was the virtual state of being seriously injured in the Arena. If he had not blocked the attack with his palm, he would have been killed. He was shocked that his opponent had seriously injured him with just one blow. "How can he be so strong? He looks like he's only fifteen or sixteen years old. Is he a genius cultivated by some big force? "

"It seems that I can still challenge someone stronger." Gu Ding was not sure how strong he was now.

"I admit defeat!" Pashtur decisively chose to admit defeat after he confirmed the difference in their strength. He knew very well that there was no need to continue.

"How boring. I didn't even see that kid's strength at all." In the surveillance room, the short-haired woman in black leather boots narrowed her eyes slightly. "Get a guy ranked around 200,000 to go up."

"Yes, Miss." The man in the suit nodded expressionlessly.

When another challenger appeared on the stage, the spectators in the stands were once again stunned. The challenger this time was actually ranked 200167. Two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand were not on the same level at all. If most of the people ranked 500,000 had participated in around 500 battles, then most of the people ranked 200,000 had participated in around 2,000 battles. In fact, most of the people in the top 200,000 had awakened their abilities and were extremely dangerous.

"And here I was wondering what kind of powerful fellow he is. He actually wants me to take action." This time, Gu Ding's opponent was a guy who looked to be in his twenties. He had a long saber hanging from his waist. His attitude was extremely arrogant, and his ID was also "Who's More Arrogant Than Me". "Kid, it's not too late to surrender now. Don't cry when I chop you into 18 pieces."

"We don't know for sure who'll be the one crying!" Gu Ding grinned.

"Is that so?" The arrogant man placed his hand on the hilt of his blade and a wave of aura began gathering up.

"Be careful, this guy is using Sword-Drawing Technique," Neptune reminded. "Sword-Drawing Technique has the effect of an instant explosive attack. The longer the accumulation time, the more terrifying the explosive attack. You must interrupt him as soon as possible."

Gu Ding took a Silent Step and appeared in front of the arrogant man in an instant.

The arrogant man drew his saber almost at the same time and slashed at Gu Ding's waist with a sharp glint. Gu Ding shifted his feet and dodged to the side. At the same time, he pointed his Terminating Finger at the side of the saber.

The arrogant man felt a huge force hit the side of the long saber, almost causing him to lose his grip. At the same time, he hit the arrogant man's chest with his Lightning Elbow. Then, he leaped high and hit the arrogant man's chin with a Flaming Knee.

The spectators were stunned when they saw the arrogant man's figure gradually disappear from the stage.

"Finally, I see something. It's a special set of martial arts." In the surveillance room, the short-haired woman licked the lollipop in her hand in satisfaction. "Get someone ranked around 80,000 to go up."

"Yes, Miss."

Gu Ding's opponent soon appeared again. He was ranked 80958. It was a gunner. He was skinny and carried a long black backpack on his back. The most eye-catching thing about him was his face. It looked like it had been sharpened by a knife. It was very angular, and his face was expressionless. Coupled with his straight back and determined eyes, it was not difficult to tell that this guy was from a military background. His ID was' I'm a gunner '. This kind of boring ID was enough to show that this guy was a boring person.

Compared to martial arts, the gunner profession was a new profession. People who chose this profession usually did not have much talent in martial arts. They had no choice but to make this choice. Of course, there were a few people who became gunners because they liked guns.

Gunners were generally good at long-range attacks. Once someone got close to them, they would not be far from death. Their weakness was obvious. The biggest taboo for this profession was people with strong defense, fast speed, and strong close-range attacks.

The man glanced at Gu Ding and did not say anything. He took off his backpack and took out a rifle. He calmly adjusted the crosshair and reloaded the gun.

Gu Ding had been in the Military Academy for a few years. Naturally, he had played with guns before. However, his talent in this area was average. It was not bad, but it was not good either. Even so, he could tell from the man's movements that he was a real gunner. He was fundamentally different from his classmates. Not only was his movement proficient, but the way the man held the gun was completely different. It was like a part of his body. Many of his classmates basically used guns as tools.

When the man raised the gun, Gu Ding moved. He heard the first gunshot, but he did not stop. He took another Silent Step, and the second gunshot followed.

The gunner's expression turned serious after Gu Ding managed to dodge two shots in a row. He fired three shots in a row and locked onto Gu Ding's path that he had predicted.

Gu Ding's footwork changed, and he easily dodged again. Even he found it a little unbelievable. "This Silent Step is so special. It can predict the trajectory of bullets and allow people to dodge accordingly."

"Tut tut." Another two shots were fired. Gu Ding only took one step to avoid this wave of attacks. He only dodged and did not counterattack. The main reason was that he wanted to use this gunner to practice his Silent Step.

By the time the gunner changed the magazine for the eighth time, Gu Ding's footwork was already very proficient. There was no need to continue this competition. He changed his body shape and closed in on the gunner.

The gunner did not panic. He only retreated and continued to attack. The frequency of his right hand pulling the trigger was much higher than before. In less than ten seconds, another magazine of bullets was emptied. He skillfully removed the magazine and took out a new one from his pocket. Just as he was about to reload, a hand grabbed his wrist.

"You lost." Gu Ding grabbed the gunner's wrist with one hand and pointed two fingers at the left side of the gunner's chest where his heart was.

The gunner's figure quickly faded away after the Terminating Finger was fired.

"Looks like I've underestimated this guy." In the surveillance room, the short-haired woman bit her lollipop. "Find someone in the top ten thousand and replace him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a woman appear in the ring where Gu Ding was in the video.

The strange thing was that the woman's ID was displayed as a question mark. Her ranking and combat information were all displayed as question marks.

"Check this woman's information." The short-haired woman frowned slightly.

After a while, the man in the suit said, "Missy, her clearance level is very high. I can't check her at my level."

"Let me see!" The short-haired woman suddenly stood up and pressed her hand on the query screen.

[Insufficient clearance. Unable to check!]

The same dialog box popped up again.

"Who is this woman?" The short-haired woman was surprised.

"Missy, if you can't check her at your level, it can only mean that her clearance is higher than yours," the man in the suit reminded her. "And your identity in the entire Skyriver Sector …"

"I understand. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today." The short-haired woman sat down. Her expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
