“Tsk, tsk—this newbie’s caught the attention of Mad Rhino.
Now this is gonna be good.”
“Serves him right.
The moment he showed up, he started chatting up Scarlet Spider—no self-awareness at all.
Didn’t he know Scarlet Spider is Mad Rhino’s girl?”
The others had also noticed the man’s movements, and now their faces were all filled with anticipation for the drama to come.
Looking down at Lu Yuan, who barely reached his chest, Mad Rhino glanced briefly at Scarlet Spider before sneering at Lu Yuan.
“Oh ho—what do we have here?
A little midget too scared to show his face?
What’s the matter—afraid your ugly mug might scare us?”
“Hahaha…”
The surrounding crowd burst into laughter.
Looking at the burly man standing before him, a head taller than himself, Lu Yuan measured him up.
The man’s bulging arm muscles were nearly as big as Lu Yuan’s head.
Lu Yuan didn’t respond right away.
Instead, he leaned forward slightly, sniffed the air, then recoiled as if repelled by something foul.
Under the man’s puzzled gaze, Lu Yuan waved his hand in disgust and said:
“Eww—that’s disgusting.
Why does your mouth stink so bad?
Did your mom drop you in a toilet when you were born and marinate you in it?”
“Damn—this kid’s got guts!
He actually dares to mock Mad Rhino!”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Mad Rhino’s fury reached its peak.
His face twisted into a vicious scowl as he glared at Lu Yuan, murderous intent surging in his heart.
“Kid—are you looking for a death wish?”
“What’s wrong?
Did I hit a nerve?” Lu Yuan leaned lazily against the wall, his tone dripping with contempt.
A sudden announcement cut off Mad Rhino, who was about to explode.
Ding-dong—for the next spirit battle, participants McDonald and Scarlet Spider, please proceed to Ring Number 3.
Hearing his name called, Lu Yuan straightened up and walked past Mad Rhino.
He shot the man a sidelong glance and said contemptuously:
“Hey, big dumb brute—after I finish this match, how about we take it to the death arena?
I’d really like to see how you plan to kill me.”
“Heh—since you’re begging for death, I’ll grant your wish.”
Amidst the cheers of the spectators in the stands, Lu Yuan and his opponent stepped onto the arena stage.
Looking at the humorous young man before her, Scarlet Spider felt a flicker of pity. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“Sigh—you shouldn’t have provoked Mad Rhino.
He’s ruthless.
Now that you’ve embarrassed him in front of everyone, he won’t let this go.”
Waving his hand dismissively, Lu Yuan said carelessly: “It’s nothing—just a clown.”
“Sigh—fine, fine.
Suit yourself.”
“But this is a spirit battle now, and I won’t go easy on you.
If you can’t hold on, just surrender.
Don’t go into the fight with Mad Rhino in bad shape.”
Hearing Scarlet Spider’s words, Lu Yuan smiled and nodded.
“Alright—no problem.”
Outwardly, he acknowledged her warning, but in his mind, Lu Yuan was thinking something else entirely.
“This sister was kind enough to help me.
I should hold back when we fight—no need to hurt her.”
“The match begins!”
As the host’s voice fell, both Lu Yuan and his opponent summoned their martial souls.
Lu Yuan’s, of course, was the Trident he presented to everyone.
Across from him, Scarlet Spider’s martial soul materialized with a strange, eerie aura.
Burrowing Demon Spider
Looking closely, after Scarlet Spider’s martial soul possession, her hands were covered in fine black fuzz, and a pale purple black mist lingered around her.
“Watch out!”
“Spiderweb Bind!”
Just as Lu Yuan was observing the appearance of her martial soul possession, Scarlet Spider suddenly launched her attack!
A large pale-purple web shot toward Lu Yuan, wisps of poisonous gas swirling around it.
“Tear him apart!”
“Go, Scarlet Spider—take this kid down!”
“Hahaha—is this kid frozen in fear?”
Seeing the web closing in, the spectators grew more and more excited.
It was clear they had all bet against Lu Yuan.
Ignoring the frenzied gamblers in the stands, Lu Yuan knew that today they were in for a thorough loss.
Strangely enough, amid the overwhelming majority betting against him, there was actually someone bold enough to cheer for him.
“Hey kid—move!
I finally mustered up the courage to bet on you—don’t make me lose everything!”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was about to act when he nearly stumbled.
“Hey, hey—don’t say stuff that sounds so suggestive!”
Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, adjusted his stance, and pushed off again.
Crack! Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
A shattering sound rang out as the arena floor beneath Lu Yuan’s feet cracked.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from his original position.
The incoming web caught nothing but air.
“Oh my—where did McDonald disappear to?
Is this his own original spirit ability?”
“What the hell?
Where’d he go?”
After Lu Yuan vanished, everyone—the spectators in the stands, the host flying overhead, even Scarlet Spider on the stage—were all frozen in stunned disbelief.
“Where did this kid go?”
By now, Scarlet Spider was panicking.
She spun around, frantically searching for Lu Yuan’s figure.
Just as Scarlet Spider turned back toward where Lu Yuan had been standing, a gleaming trident appeared, its tip barely a finger’s width from her throat.
If Lu Yuan’s right hand holding the trident so much as twitched, Scarlet Spider’s throat would be pierced clean through.
The arena fell into absolute silence.
The first to react was the host flying overhead.
“Wow—what did we just witness?
Sheer artistry!”
“After disappearing from everyone’s sight, McDonald has reappeared in an instant!”
“Clearly, our McDonald is a gentleman—he could have easily sent Scarlet Spider flying with one punch or one strike of his trident.”
“But instead, he chose this gentler way to claim victory.”
“Let’s give a rousing round of applause to our winner—McDonald!”
“Argh—damn it!
How could he be this strong?
That was my entire savings!”
“Wah—if only I’d bet on McDonald!”
“Hahaha—I won big!” But before the man could finish, he was met with a barrage of sharp glares, and he quickly shut his mouth, scurrying away from the stands.
Walking off the stage, Scarlet Spider looked at Lu Yuan, who was slightly shorter than her, and said softly: “Little brother McDonald—you’ve really surprised your big sister!”
“I never expected you to be this strong!”
“Keep it low-key—low-key.”
Lu Yuan pressed his hand down, maintaining a calm expression.
Rolling her eyes at him, Scarlet Spider said speechlessly: “Heh—you call that low-key?
If you were really low-key, you wouldn’t have challenged that brute Mad Rhino.”
“What can I say?
That guy had murderous intent toward me.” Shrugging, Lu Yuan said with an air of innocence.
“I’m not a forgiving person.
I repay kindness, and when it comes to grudges, I grind my enemies to dust.”
Scarlet Spider paused for a moment, as if something had occurred to her, then broke into a smile again: “Yes, yes—our little brother McDonald is the most reasonable of all.”
