Chapter 22: The Challenger
In the center of the huge Tiger Roar Fighting Arena, Lin Rui stood on the fighting ring, his eyes were full of anger and glared at the guards who forced him to come to the stage, although in the few hours he was arrested and imprisoned, Lin Rui did not suffer too much, but Lin Rui also understood in his heart that this was nothing more than to let himself not be easily seen by the audience below when he came to the stage, after all, a person with bruises all over his body came to the stage, and the shock effect of being killed by a punch was greatly weakened, so Lin Rui was not only not tortured, in order to make him seem intact on stage, These guards also gave him the Recovery Pill, Rejuvenation Water, Qingxin Pill and some other medicines to heal his wounds, only Lin Rui knew in his heart that he hadn't actually been hurt by Mei Zhantian's blow just now, although he didn't know what the reason was.
However, for the elixir that these guards sent to him, of course Lin Rui unceremoniously accepted it all, although he didn't know what they were doing, but he also knew that it must not be a good thing for him, especially thinking of the things that Mei Zhantian explained before leaving, and he wanted to use his life to compensate for the losses caused to them this time, Lin Rui was angry and at the same time sneered in his heart, the so-called my life is up to me, how can I, Lin Rui, be at the mercy of others as you wish?
Standing on the fighting ring at the moment, looking at the fierce and ill-intentioned audience below, as well as the guards who forced themselves to go on stage and gloated and were ready to see their blood splashed on the spot, and Hanks who looked fierce and geared up on the other side, hoping that after the host announced the start immediately, he immediately came up and killed himself to the scum. Lin Rui didn't have any fear or remorse. Since the time when he was determined to enter Xiaolou to save people, he was already prepared for this moment to come, not to mention that he finally rescued Ouyang Ziwei, killed Jiang Sen, and gave Mei Zhantian, a shadow artist, a very humiliating punch, for a person who may not have the opportunity to practice energy and fighting skills in his life, and who cannot become a strong fighter, everything he has done today is enough to make him have no regrets for the rest of his life, not to mention that this guy Mason can't do it, even if it's Tang Yuan, Balong and these people can't do it, They don't even have the guts to do it right now! And those ordinary martial artists who can't reach the shadow arts in their lifetime, or even the pinnacle of physical arts, can't imagine this kind of achievement! What is there to be dissatisfied with? Lin Rui thought about this, and in the face of the bloodthirsty audience in the audience, the corners of his mouth drew an upturned arc, showed a happy smile, and turned to face Hanks on the other side of the ring!
Lin Rui didn't know that in the corner of the VIP seat above this huge fighting ring, Yue Ling'er, Tang Yuan and Robic's expressions after seeing him on stage could be described as extremely rich! After Tang Yuan confirmed that it was indeed Lin Rui, he also opened his mouth wide, he could almost stuff an egg into it, and even after being deceived by the tyranny and knowing that Yue Ling'er participated in the illegal assembly, he didn't have such a shocked expression, and even said that he was not only shocked now, but also had a curiosity that he had never felt before, what the hell is this Lin Rui doing?
And Robic frowned, with a puzzled face, and said in a low voice: "This person is also one of the challengers?" Why do you look so young, it seems to be about the same age as Ling'er. That Hanks is at least twice as old as him, according to the fighting just now, this Hanks's energy cultivation has reached the peak of physical energy, and the fighting has reached the advanced level of physical martial arts, and his fighting methods are extremely cruel, and his shots are ruthless, I don't have the confidence to defeat him, is there such a genius fighting boy in my Dongling Empire? But judging from his erratic steps on stage, the obvious lack of strength in the lower game, and such a thin body, he doesn't look like a tough master, this guy is really unpredictable! Because it was too far away, except for the martial arts master Hanks among those closest to Lin Rui, Robic couldn't judge Lin Rui's true strength, and looked at Lin Rui's eyes full of doubts.
Yue Ling'er was already extremely anxious in her heart, although she didn't know how Lin Rui could come to the underground fighting arena in this Tiger Roar Hall and actually become a challenger, but she knew that Lin Rui was definitely in great danger, that Hanks didn't even have to use the martial arts mystery, even an ordinary punch might kill him! But now that I still have an important mission in my body, I must not expose my identity! How can Lin Rui be rescued from danger? Thinking of the promise she had made to someone, Yue Ling'er's anxious palms were full of sweat.
was no longer in the mood to listen to the words of the host who stirred up the enthusiasm of the audience on the stage, Yue Ling'er looked at Robic next to her with meaningful eyes, gritted her teeth, and suddenly raised her hand to signal, and soon a service staff came over and asked in a low voice: "Do you need anything?" Yue Ling'er nodded and said, "I want to sign up for the challenge!" β
As a feature of underground fighting matches, it allows challengers to join in the middle of the fight, as long as the fight is not over. Because there are a lot of fanatical fighters in the audience, if you think you are extraordinary, you can go to the ring to challenge, this is also to increase the spectacle and unpredictability of the game, not only to increase more gambling income, but also to meet the fighting requirements of some martial arts maniacs.
But with the emergence of high-level martial artists, the frequency of challengers is getting lower and lower, because if it is not for the overwhelming one, no one will easily go up and joke with their lives, after all, this is not a formal fighting match, and those who go up will die every minute. But in the same way, if there is a challenger at this time, then you can also quickly go on stage to challenge, after all, unlike at the beginning, you still need to queue up, Yue Ling'er signed up, and the service staff immediately asked her to wait at the edge of the ring on the lower floor.
And Yue Ling'er's actions caused Tang Yuan and Robic to be extremely shocked, this little girl has a little bit of goods, and the two of them are very clear, Tang Yuan stepped forward to stop the service staff and Yue Ling'er, and said directly: "Sister Jun, what do you want to do, I don't agree with you going up to challenge!" Tang Yuan is not a fool, he knows that before leaving this underground fighting arena, Yue Ling'er's identity as the county lord cannot be exposed under any circumstances, after all, the three of them came in as people from the Black Dragon Hall, so although Tang Yuan was very anxious, he did not call Yue Ling'er's identity directly.
To Tang Yuan's surprise, Yue Ling'er changed her naΓ―ve appearance when she was playing and chatting before, and said very calmly: "I have already decided to go up and challenge, you don't have to stop me!" "But" Tang Yuan was just about to speak, but saw Yue Ling'er standing behind the waiter, and quickly drew the shape of a moon towards himself with his hand volley, the moon was the shape of the badge of the Water Moon Palace, Tang Yuan understood that the meaning of Yue Ling'er's gesture was to show his status as the county lord, and after showing this identity to himself, then as a person in the palace, as her subordinate, even if she was required to obey her orders, otherwise she would be guilty of the following crimes!
Tang Yuan's brows furrowed, feeling that something was not quite right, how could Yue Ling'er have such a serious time? At this moment, there was no young lady's obedient appearance, but like a queen who controlled power, which made Tang Yuan suddenly uncomfortable.
And Chen Zhen and Robic also felt that something was wrong, Robic stopped Tang Yuan, made a gesture, and asked the waiter to report it himself, and then asked in a low voice: "Ling'er, are you going to save the kid who came to power?" Can you tell me why? Robic is worthy of being the prince of Thunder County, the president of the Dragon Town Academy Fighting Club, he has already judged Yue Ling'er's thoughts, this young lady does not leave the venue to join this midway challenge, it can only be to interrupt the battle that is about to start on the stage. Robic said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, even if you join the challenge now, you have to be after the duel!" Yue Ling'er shook her head and said: "Not really, according to the rules of any fighting tournament in this empire, if they are all new challengers, the winner will be determined between the new challengers, and I want to challenge the new Lin Rui!" β
Tang Yuan said: "But even if you defeat him and save him, you will have to face that Hanks!" Yue Ling'er smiled and said, "Let's take a step at a time, if it doesn't work, I'll abstain at that time." β
Tang Yuan said angrily: "This is an illegal fighting match, how can I abstain?" Didn't you hear the opening sentence above? It is based on the criterion of losing combat effectiveness! β
At this time, I heard the host on the stage say: "Okay, the game will start soon, please prepare, there is actually a new challenger to challenge the talented young martial artist who has just come to the stage?" β
Hearing this, Yue Ling'er raised her leg and was about to go down, but was stopped by Robic's outstretched hand, Yue Ling'er said anxiously: "Brother Vic, you", Robic shook his head and said, "Don't go, although I don't know why you have to save this kid, but I believe that you must have a very important reason, it's rare to meet again after leaving Longzhen Academy, let me help you again!" With some understanding of Yue Ling'er in Longzhen Academy, Robic is different from Tang Yuan, he knows that Yue Ling'er is a very smart person with a different age from the city, this time he did not hesitate to expose the identity of the county lord, and risked a huge risk to save the young man on the stage There must be an unusual reason, Robic decided to help once!
Robic arched his hand towards Chen Zhen and said, "This brother looks like a member of the gang, I don't know if you can come to the fighting ring to help me finish up?" Chen Zhen hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Don't dare, since the son is a friend of the young lady, and he is entrusted by the helper to listen to the young lady's orders, so please ask the son to give orders, don't be polite!" Robic nodded and smiled, and suddenly approached Yue Ling'er and whispered: "You little girl is really protecting your own people, you want to save that kid on the stage, and you are afraid that Tang Yuan will not be able to beat that Hanks, so you use your power to suppress Tang Yuan and force me to save you, thank you for helping you clean up a mess every time I help you in Longzhen Academy, you don't feel sorry for me, hehe." After speaking, she turned around and walked down, but Yue Ling'er was already flushed.
Just when the host asked again who was going to challenge Lin Rui first, Robic suddenly flew up, jumped directly from the VIP seat on the third floor to the ordinary seat below, followed by another leap, crossed the heads of several people, got into the ring, jumped to the middle of Lin Rui and Hanks, smiled faintly, and said loudly: "Thunder County Robic, challenge this young master!" β
