Chapter 1325
…
When Xin Ja first enters this arena, he has already noticed that there is an array protecting this place. There are two arrays surrounding the area. The first one is the barrier preventing any attacks from outside to hit the coliseum. The second is the array surrounding the arena.
This type of array is a bit tricky and complex. And because of its complexity, there are a lot of errors in how the array was set up.
Even without targeting the array foundation hidden behind the walls, Xin Ja could still find some of its flaws using his Absolute Sense.
Although one of the elders noticed this he is unable to determine how it really works. Hence, Xin Ja was able to find the weakness of the array barrier and temporarily weaken it for that single opportunity to strike that despicable fellow.
Boom!!!
Eeek!!!
The people began running away as the figure of caretaker Yu was blasted to smithereens. Burnt flesh and blood were scattered all over the place making the many around that area stunned.
Then suddenly someone shouted in crazed fervor even though his face is covered with blood.
Yeah!!!
Fight!
Fight!
The crowd began cheering again as if the death of that single person is inconsequential.
The side of Xin Ja's lips began to twitch as he watched the reaction of the people around him. But he has no time to dwell on this matter as a tail is already coming to his face.
Swoosh!!!
Xin Ja tilted his body to the ground as he dodge that powerful strike of the wirm's tail.
Bam!!! Bam!!!
Although he was able to dodge that tail, a few gladiators were unlucky to be hit instead.
Xin Ja's figure agilely shifted to the belly of the wirm and then using the knife in his hand, he activate the glove to cover it with Ki.
Then he willed the Ki to begin moving in a manner where it twirled around the blade. This made it look like there is a drill made of Ki energy on the surface of the dagger.
When he was below the wirm's throat, he did not hesitate to throw the knife.
With control of his killing intent, the wirm's instinct could not even detect the danger it is about to face.
Puchi!!!
The knife drilled through its thick neck easily and passes through its back.
Because of the thick neck of the creature, though the hit was fatal, it did not stop the creature to rampage on the ground.
Several gladiators were sent to their death with a single hit from its huge and powerful body. But it did not take long before it began to weaken and its movement became sluggish.
Suddenly, Big Rock's large figure was seen jumping in the air and then using his Ki-covered sword, he slices downward.
Kacha!!!
The neck of the wirm was cleanly cut from its long torso.
"Yeah!"
"It's 506!"
"506 killed that thing!"
"506! 506! 506!"
The crowd began cheering Big Rock's number as they became excited about the outcome of the first battle against the beast.
The remaining gladiators helped each other especially the wounded as they waited for the next battle to start.
Xin Ja did not want to bother them as he noticed them taking out some vials from the pouch hanging from their lower back.
Most of the gladiators are only wearing hemp clothing while others have bare tops. But each of them has pouches hanging behind their belt.
As he sees them taking small bottles of potions, he could not help but squint as he observes the effect of the potion.
5 minutes later…
The wounds on their body have partially recovered.
Xin Ja could not help but lament how these people use potions.
If they drink it, it would go to their stomach and almost 50% of the efficacy of the potion is already gone by that time.
Potions are not food, and they contain concentrations that could even be injected directly into the veins for quick results. But of course, he knew that the people in here did not know that.
He looks at Big Rock and noticed a big gash on his back. The wound has not healed yet he knew that the guy would be having a hard time on the next round.
He walked beside him and take grabs the 2nd potion he was about to drink.
"Hey, Little Ja… what are you doing?" asked Big Rock in confusion.
Xin Ja did not reply and just walk behind him.
"Grit your teeth, this will be painful." He warned.
"Haha… Pain is of no…"
Arrgghh!!!
A curdling shout came out of Big Rock's mouth which startled everyone.
Everyone then noticed Xin Ja pouring the potion directly into the wound.
When everyone saw this, they could not help but grimace as they knew that such a thing would truly cause pain, but they also knew that it would be useless.
Xin Ja did not say anything and using both hands, he closes the gaping wound on Big Rock's back.
"Little Ja, you!!!" Big Rock wanted to react because of the pain but he noticed the seriousness on his friend's face, so he grits his teeth through the pain.
Soon, he could feel a warm sensation replacing the pain he has just felt.
A few seconds later, Xin Ja removes his hand and the gaping wound on Big Rock's back is now gone. It was now replaced by an ugly scab.
Those that have seen this gape in amazement as they now realized that it was actually not a waste of how the potion was used.
But many still hesitated because of the extreme pain they would be feeling once the potion is poured on their wounds.
The audience clamored and on the top seat, several figures now have their sight on Xin Ja. But many of them shake their head as they could see that he has no Ki fluctuation.
"What a sharp-witted young man…" an old man commented.
"I think he was the one who truly caused the death of that wirm, right?"
"Well, he might be sharp and talented, but he is still a waste…" a haughty young man commented sarcastically on the side.
Then that young man's eyes landed on the young woman who is the daughter of Jo clan head. When he noticed the admiration and amazement in her eyes while watching that waste on the arena, he could not help but feel anger swelling in his heart.
When he saw her still not giving him any attention even with a sarcastic comment, extreme dissatisfaction enters his heart.
He could not help but suddenly develop a strong killing intent in his heart.
He lifted his hand and a man walked beside him.
He suddenly whispered some words in that man's ears and a sinister glint suddenly appeared in that man's eyes.
When the man left, a complacent smile appears on that young man's handsome face then he gave the young woman another glace.
"Since you like that guy so much, then he can't escape my wrath… Hehe…" he muttered in a low voice.
…
In the coliseum, Xin Ja is unaware that a scheme is currently happening, and that someone is planning to kill him.
As of right now, his concern is how to kill the next beast which is the Forg.
The Forg is a creature that looks like an ugly giant frog with a scaly body. One feature of the Forg is its ability to adapt to the element in which it grows.
In swampy areas, Forgs can control the water through its will, in areas near volcanoes; it can control flames, and so on.
The element it can control could be seen on its scales. So, since the scale of the Forg is snow-white, they could already tell that it was captured from a snowy area.
The danger about forgs is their ability to control a certain characteristic of the element that they were born into. As long as they are exposed to that element for a long time, they would slowly develop more skills at their disposal.
And judging from the scale of the forg in front of them right now, it is clear that this thing has been alive for hundreds of years.
What made Xin Ja frown at this moment is that this forg has the ability to wield two types of spell… freezing point and ice spear.
He knew that those two spells are effective attacking abilities that could help the forg catch its prey easily.
He could not help but admire the thing for developing such skills in hunting.
"This is going to be troublesome…" Xin Ja said while looking at Big Rock who is slowly retreating beside him.
As the forg slowly advances toward them, Big Rock showed a serious expression.
"Little Ja… This thing would be hunting us one by one… We should work together and kill it…" he said with confidence.
Xin Ja nodded his head, but then he suddenly feel that something is wrong as he could feel several killing intentions are actually directed at him.
He could not help but frown as he spread his Absolute Sense, but as soon as he did, his heart turn cold and his expression turned heavy.
