Chapter 296: Chapter 198 Even if I Die, It’s Worth the Ticket Price (2)
“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 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.”
