Chapter 20: The Contest Begins
"Black Scorpion...... Is the black scorpion there?" Marlock shouted, turning back and scanning the huge underground plaza to catch a glimpse of the black-robed figure in the photo.
"I just saw him. ”
"What about people?"
The others around Marlock were also helping to search, constantly looking around.
"There!" Suddenly someone shouted, pointing at Marlock, and in an instant, everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing, and the square quickly fell silent, so quiet that it was almost audible that a pin dropped.
Ma Luo, who is two meters tall and full of muscles, was stunned for a moment, his eyelids jumped, and he seemed to understand, and slowly ...... Bowed his head.
Beside Ma Luo, the thin Xia Zuo was shrouded in black robes, looking up at the bulletin board in front of him, motionless.
Xia Zuo is too short compared to Ma Luo, who is only one meter six tall, he stands in front of Ma Luo like a child, and it is precisely because Ma Luo is too tall and Xia Zuo is too close to him, so he has a blind spot when he glances, and he didn't deliberately look down at his side, so he didn't notice Xia Zuo.
"You're the Black Scorpion?" asked Mallock, looking down at Xia Zuo with his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It's me!" Xia Zuo silently turned his head and looked up at Marlock, and said in a hoarse voice, his tone flat.
"Boy, I haven't seen you before, you're new here, and what ring are you from?" asked Mallock again, with a hint of interrogation in his tone.
"I haven't fought before, the first time!" Xia Zuo replied, turning his head and glancing at the battle time on the bulletin board, he ignored Mallock and turned to leave.
There was a burst of discussion around, the first time that the black scorpion actually skipped the tryouts and went straight to the ring! And the first game was Marlock, who had successfully defended seven matches in the midnight game and was known as the 'meat grinder in the ring'!
Ma Luo's face suddenly flashed with a different color, the first time he played an underground fighting event, he could directly enter the ring match, and if he thought about it with his ass, he could know that the black scorpion must be outstanding, but with such a thin body, but relying on the strength of the flesh and physical strength, how strong can it be?
"Boy, stand still, let's talk!" Marlock hesitated, then forced away the crowd and shouted a few steps forward as he looked at Xia Zuo's departing back.
"No time!" Xia Zuo said hoarsely and continued to walk out.
"Damn it...... I'll let you stand still!" Mallock shouted in some shame, his body suddenly jumped out, although Marlock was tall and full of muscles, but he was not clumsy, and in one or two breaths, he rushed to Xia Zuo's side, and his big fan-like hand grabbed Xia Zuo's shoulder, and he caught it in an instant!
There seemed to be a feeling of stagnation in the air, and everyone looked at it with wide eyes, since Ma Luo had already made a move, the other party would definitely have to find a way to deal with it, whether it was vulnerable or equal, or even better, everyone was very curious, for this newcomer Black Scorpion, everyone here wanted to know his strength.
No one noticed that after Mallock grabbed Xia Zuo's shoulder, his face suddenly changed, because after he grabbed Xia Zuo's shoulder, he immediately pulled back hard, trying to throw the thin Xia Zuo out of the body, but ...... Didn't pull!
"Save some strength, we'll see you in the ring!" Xia Zuo said hoarsely as he turned around slowly, looking up at the tall and tall Marlock.
Maloc naturally withdrew his hand, it looked like he ran over and patted Xia Zuo on the shoulder and let go, no one noticed the process of his exertion, and Xia Zuo only paused slightly to resist the force of Mallock's pull, and then turned around, so no one noticed the instantaneous battle between the two at all.
Xia Zuo didn't want to make enemies with others, he was here to make money, not to fight fiercely, so he immediately turned around and didn't let Mallock lose face.
"Okay! I'm looking forward to it, we'll see you in the ring!" Mallock's face suddenly changed color, and he became cautious, and said in a deep voice to Xia Zuo.
After Xia Zuo left, the people in the underground square suddenly began to discuss, what did Ma Luo stop for? What did he talk about for Lu? What did his face become solemn? Some people were very disappointed, they also wanted to explore the strength of the black scorpion through Ma Luo's move, but they didn't expect this result.
"What's the matter?" asked a young man in aristocratic clothes who had just come out of room 10 and entered the underground square.
"Lord Amos!"
"Your Highness!"
Everyone in the square bowed and shouted to the young man who had just come out, and then Mallock hurried towards the young man.
'White Glove' Amos, now twenty-seven years old, is a well-known fighter in the underground fighting arena, his father is His Royal Highness Viscount Barry, the commander of the Seventh City Guard of England City, Amos is Barry's only son, the sole heir to the title of Viscount, and has the rank of 'Intermediate Fighter' among the fighting professionals.
Generally speaking, nobles will not personally participate in events such as 'flesh and blood' that rely solely on physical confrontation, restricting ability, and too bloody, with a high mortality rate, but Amos is obviously an outlier, since he began to participate in the underground fighting arena event a year ago, it can be said that he has been soaring all the way, relying on the speed advantage of his own fighting professional 'wind fighter', he has achieved a brilliant record of successfully defending the ring for twenty-one consecutive years, and his ability to fight in the flesh alone can at least rank in the underground fighting arena 'flesh and blood' event, so the top ten contestants.
"Big brother, just ......" Malok walked up to Amos's side and shouted, and immediately leaned into Amos's ear and said, because Amos's height was only one meter eight, and Malok, who was two meters tall, had to hunch his waist.
"Oh, he's strong?" Amos asked, frowning.
"He's got a lot of power, and he's probably a martial arts pro. Marlock guessed,
Xia Zuo was too thin, and it was hard for Malok to imagine how that thin body could have such a powerful force if he didn't rely on energy to bless his body, because he wasn't in the ring, and there were no supervisors around, whether Xia Zuo used the ability that belonged to a fighting professional at that moment, Malok didn't know, he could only make this guess.
............
Two days later, at midnight, in the underground arena, under the bright lights, the ring was full, because it had not yet opened, so the arena was still quiet, only a small buzzing discussion.
"Hello sir, the game will start soon, the black scorpion against the 'ring meat grinder' Marlock, the black scorpion odds are 1:10, and the Marlock odds are 1:0.3, do you need to place a bet?" asked the staff behind the long table at the entrance of the fighting arena as they looked at the thin figure in front of the table shrouded in black robes.
"Black Scorpion!" Xia Zuo said in a hoarse voice, dropping a gold coin on the table, and after taking the credentials that the staff had quickly written, he turned around and left, walking directly to the backstage along the passage on the side of the fighting arena.
............
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the midnight event of the 'Flesh and Blood' Fighting Tournament, don't talk ......" Varg, the deadly host of the ring who was meticulously dressed and combed his big back, walked into the middle of the ring and began his opening remarks with the microphone: "Tonight's champion is a horse who has successfully defended seven fights and is nicknamed 'Meat Grinder'...... Let's welcome him in!"
"Ahh
"Marlock!
With the words of the supporter Wag, the sound of a mountain and a tsunami resounded in the underground arena, and the noble lady waved a handkerchief and screamed.
Mallock walked down the stairs on the east side of the ring, surrounded by hugging each other, he was only wearing a loose pair of big pants, his angular upper body was naked, and his bulging muscles seemed to be beating, he was still waving around while walking, and soon, he walked to the stairs and came to the ring, and the whole person suddenly jumped up like a rampaging gorilla, twisted his waist in the air and turned over, jumped directly over the ring rope, and jumped into the ring.
The underground fighting arena suddenly climaxed again, and the sound of mountains and tsunamis was endless, and they were neatly shouting Marlock's name, looking crazy!
"Okay guys, I think Marlock has felt your enthusiasm, okay, please be quiet, ......" In the words of the host Wag, the boiling voice of the fighting arena gradually subsided, and Wag took the microphone and said again: "Okay, let's have the challenger of tonight's midnight show...... Wow, this is a newcomer, we don't know his origins, we don't know their names, we only know his code name, please black...... Scorpion!"
"He's coming, look, God, why is he so small?
"Damn, I bought him, I wanted to try my luck, it's over......"
Xia Zuo walked out of the staircase on the west side of the ring, and was greeted by no hysterical shouts, no crazy noblewomen, no one calling his code name, only buzzing chatters and suspicious eyes!
Xia Zuo walked down the stairs quickly, compared to Marlock, Xia Zuo had few people around him, and there was only one ring girl arranged for him in the fighting arena.
But it is gratifying that the face of the girl in the ring is very beautiful, with a little charming, and the clothes on her body are also very exposed, the upper body is only a palm-wide strip of cloth around the chest, the huge breasts are squeezed out of an eye-catching ravine, the flat lower abdomen, the navel still has a shiny umbilical ring, and her lower body, there is only a short skirt that can block the buttocks, and the white legs seem to be shining with seductive light, making people can't help but want to go up and touch it.
When he was backstage just now, Xia Zuo couldn't help but look at the girl in the ring who followed him many times, she was dressed too revealingly, and she was the type of ** that Xia Zuo liked, so Xia Zuo couldn't control it.
Walking down the stairs, hooking up the rope and climbing into the ring, slowly walking to the host's side, Xia Zuo didn't perform any flashy tricks, and the whole process looked ordinary.
There was finally a commotion in the underground arena, but it was not encouragement or shouting, but the voice of questioning, and when Xia Zuo walked down the stairs just now, his skinny didn't look very obvious, and at this time he stepped into the ring, and Marlock was not far from him, and the gap was suddenly fully manifested.
In fact, Xia Zuo is already one meter six tall, which is not very short, and many adults are also this height, and may not even be as good as him, but this is an underground fighting arena, and his opponent is Ma Luo, who is two meters tall, but in terms of size, Xia Zuo is completely unqualified.
The gap is too big, it looks like adults are going to fight children, this is the 'flesh and blood' fighting competition, the contestants rely entirely on physical strength, although the size does not tell the whole story, but at least it also represents part of the strength of the contestants.
"Okay, don't talk much, now please ask the referee to play, the two players please prepare!" After the host Wag finished speaking, he left the arena, and a middle-aged man in a plaid shirt on the south side of the ring suddenly disappeared in place, a black shadow seemed to flicker from below, and the next moment he appeared in the ring and stood in the corner.
