Chapter 863: Stop the Battle

At the center of the spectator stands.

There was an independent VIP booth, within which was a pair of long stone chairs that were covered in sheets of beast hide. In front of the stone chairs was a stone table, upon which were placed two huge stone cups that were filled with some type of fresh beast blood.

Seated on one of the chairs was a muscular man with a dark complexion, and there was a woman with a curvaceous body beside him, massaging his arm with her delicate hands.

On the other chair sat another man with dark green skin, clad in a suit of white bone armor. There was a layer of gray scales on his face, as well as three long scars left behind by a claw swipe from a scaled beast, giving him a fearsome appearance.

The armorclad man was staring intently at the woman's seductive body, with his gaze roaming over her voluptuous chest, down to her supple backside, then to her exquisite legs, and he was making no effort to conceal the lust in his eyes.

"How about we raise the stakes even further, Hu Bi?" the muscular man proposed with a smile.

"You want to raise the stakes? Did you hit your head recently or something, Chen Yang? Can you not see how frail that human is?" the armorclad man asked in a surprised manner.

"Risk and reward come hand in hand. It doesn't matter if I lose the bet, it's all about the thrill," Chen Yang replied in a nonchalant manner.

"If you want to give me free money, then I'm certainly not going to turn you down. What do you want from me?" Hu Bi asked with a wide grin.

"I want that Thorn Scaled Beast Core that the city lord gave you last time," Chen Yang replied with a smile.

A hesitant look appeared on Hu Bi's face upon hearing this, and for some reason, as he turned to look at Han Li in the arena, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

However, he then immediately brushed off this inexplicable sense of unease. The Tiger Scaled Beast in the arena was over 3,500 years old, so there was no way it would be defeated by that human.

The environment in the Scalptia Spatial Domain was extremely inhospitable, so for most scaled beasts, it was already an achievement just to live to a thousand years of age.

For a scaled beast that was able to live 3,500 years, that was both a reflection of their power and their luck.

"Alright, I'll take you up on that bet, but if I win, then I'm taking your woman!" Hu Bi said as he took a lustful glance at the woman beside Chen Yang.

"Deal," Chen Yang agreed as he patted the woman on the backside.

The woman turned to take a seductive glance at Hu Bi, and the latter immediately felt a rush of heat surge through his lower abdomen.

Right at this moment, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out in the arena, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

A giant tiger-like beast that was over a hundred feet tall and covered in black and white scales had just been released from its cage.

The beast had a mouthful of gleaming sharp fangs, two of which were particularly long and sharp, resembling a pair of jagged spears. As it raised its head to roar up at the heavens, its eyes were filled with rage and resentment.

A burst of powerful shockwaves erupted forth in all directions as the Tiger Scaled Beast's head was slammed down from above, and its two protruding fangs pierced even deeper into the ground.

Han Li didn't grow complacent just because he had managed to control the Tiger Scaled Beast, and he continued to rain down one punch after another.

The Tiger Scaled Beast's head shuddered over and over again as the cracks on the platform beneath it widened further and further, and several streams of blood were flowing down from its head.

All of the spectators were looking on in a stunned silence.

It had only been several minutes since the commencement of the battle, yet this frail-looking human had already established complete dominance over the Tiger Scaled Beast.

After withstanding over ten punches in a row, the Tiger Scaled Beast was laying on the ground in a limp fashion, and its body was only twitching slightly in response to each successive punch, indicating that it was on the brink of death.

At this point, Han Li's fists were already completely drenched in blood, and it was unclear whether the blood belonged to the Tiger Scaled Beast or himself.

The stunned silence wore on for a little longer before everyone erupted into cheers, and on this occasion, all of the cheers were directed at Han Li.

"Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu..."

"I won... I won!" the horned man that had bet on Han Li screamed in excitement, and tears were beginning to well up in his eyes.

Up in the VIP booth, Hu Bi spat onto the ground in disgust, while Chen Yang continued to observe the battle with a calm smile on his face, seemingly completely unsurprised by Han Li's performance.

Hu Bi finally realized that he had been tricked upon seeing Chen Yang's expression, and his brows furrowed slightly as he asked, "You have some insider information on this match, don't you?"

"What insider information could I possibly have? I was simply lucky to have picked out a dark horse. Besides, the battle still isn't decided yet," Chen Yang replied in a lazy manner.

As soon as his voice trailed off, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out within the arena, and all of the scales on the Tiger Scaled Beast's body abruptly stood up on end like countless sharp blades, forcing Han Li to jump down from its head.

Just a moment ago, the Tiger Scaled Beast had been clinging onto life by a thread, but in this instant, its eyes suddenly rolled back, and its original black pupils were replaced by a second set of pupils that were purple and green in color.

Chen Yang's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he instantly sprang to his feet, throwing off the woman who was clinging to his body in the process.

"Haha! It's a dual pupil scaled beast! With this mutation, it can no longer be considered a D tier scaled beast. Looks like I'll be having the last laugh, Chen Yang," Hu Bi chortled with glee.

Chen Yang paid no heed to Hu Bi as he murmured to himself with a grim expression, "A mutated dual pupil Tiger Scaled Beast is a C tier scaled beast. I have to put an end to this battle."

He then turned to depart from the VIP booth, but he was stopped in his tracks by Hu Bi.

"Where are you going, Brother Chen?"
