Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 157: Chapter 125: Gladiator Badge

Looking at the figure before him, Chu Xiu slightly narrowed his eyes.

This was a humanoid creature, nearly three meters tall, but with a remarkably slender body, dressed in black Samurai Armor with a dark red Evil Ghost Mask on its face, holding a long blade in each hand, and two Demon Arms growing from its back—one holding a Shield and the other a Spear.

Beneath the Evil Ghost Mask, pitch-black pupils stared unmovingly at Chu Xiu.

In an instant of eye contact, Chu Xiu could determine that the creature before him was certainly a battle-hardened, experienced Warrior.

Not missing a beat, Chu Xiu’s hands grasped the Bone Spear tightly, exuding Demonic Qi, while a pair of Celestial Demon Hands materialized behind him, ready for defense at any moment.

The two gazed at each other, and without any sign, they moved simultaneously!

The four-armed Ghost-faced Warrior took a step forward, its form almost teleporting tens of meters in the blink of an eye, the right-hand long blade slashing directly toward Chu Xiu’s face!

”Clang!!!”

Chu Xiu raised the Bone Spear to block, yet the Ghost-faced Warrior did not pause, the other long blade slashing down once more! Its body spinning, each strike borrowing the twisting force of its waist, making the force of the blade even fiercer, while the hand behind holding the Spear lifted high like a poised venomous serpent, seeking a chance for a fatal strike!

”Clang clang clang!!!”

Chu Xiu blocked several strikes in succession, finally his expression darkened, and the Celestial Demon Hands entered Frenzy, launching a punch!

However, the Ghost-faced Warrior was merely probing, its form agilely twisting to easily dodge the heavy blow from the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hands.

The two retreated simultaneously, eyes filled with seriousness and caution.

”This creature’s Constitution, I’m afraid, reaches close to five hundred!”

This value within the Warrior Tier is extremely terrifying, for the Royal Elite Corpse Ghost’s Constitution is only seven hundred, and it excels in Constitution. Ordinary Fierce Tier Elites can hardly reach five hundred!

”Moreover, it’s of the agility type that gives me the most headache!”

”What’s more troublesome is that it doesn’t rely solely on brute strength like a Corpse Demon, but its combat skills are exceptionally high, far beyond mine.”

”It seems these four Gods intentionally sought a type that restrains me.”

Just as Chu Xiu mused, the four-armed Warrior charged out once again!

This time, the opponent was evidently going all out, its speed surpassing before, the long blades transforming into heavy afterimages!

Luckily, Chu Xiu reacted swiftly, blocking with the Bone Spear back and forth, taking all strikes, but just then, the Ghost-faced Warrior’s form flickered, suddenly turning into two identical phantoms!

Chu Xiu’s pupils suddenly contracted, a sense of danger surged in his mind, hastily driving the Nether Demon Eyes to the limit!

His reaction was already extremely fast, discerning the real body location almost instantaneously, but in an Extraordinary Realm battle, even a split-second mistake can be deadly!

The Ghost-faced Warrior slashed, knocking aside Chu Xiu’s defending Bone Spear, the other blade chopping onto the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hands, creating a narrow opening in Chu Xiu’s tight defense, while behind, the long-prepared Spear suddenly shot out like a swift arrow!

”Clang!!!”

The Spear struck directly at Chu Xiu’s chest, the Shield of the Pain Incarnation Robe sagged drastically, and Chu Xiu was sent flying from the massive impact!

After tumbling back several meters, he barely stabilized, by then the Supreme Quality Skeleton Armor had developed a small crack!

The Ghost-faced Warrior’s eyes showed a trace of surprise, as if not expecting its long-planned strike to cause so little damage.

The four Gods, however, were quite pleased, their phantom images flickered, exchanging in some special manner.

Chu Xiu noticed that there seemed to be faint blood-red virtual lines connecting them.

”The four Gods have initiated a wager,” a voice sounded with a tongue’s flicker, ”you’d better perform well, as the victor in the wagers usually receives great rewards.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu exhaled lightly, touching his chest.

The slight pain made him feel somewhat pensive.

”My combat skills are still too inexperienced.”

”Having fought Corpse Demons for too long, suddenly facing such a skilled combatant really is somewhat disorienting.”

In truth, if their combat skills were equal, even if Chu Xiu’s Constitution was inferior, relying on the two pairs of Frenzied Celestial Demon Hands for defense, the Ghost-faced Warrior wouldn’t be able to penetrate at all.

”Once back, I must diligently hone my combat skills,” Chu Xiu thought to himself.

”But for now, let me finish this battle.”

A fierce look flashed in his black eyes, Chu Xiu uttered a low shout, while dense Demonic Qi rose from within, fully enveloping him!

The Ghost-faced Warrior’s pupils contracted, seemingly instinctively sensing threat, but before it could react, Chu Xiu’s figure burst out!

This time, Chu Xiu’s speed compared to before had increased exponentially, practically resembling a projectile shot out, the Ghost-faced Warrior was greatly shocked, hastily raising its blade to block, but just as the stance was set, it was blown away by a punch!

After activating the Second Layer of Demon Energy Infusion, Chu Xiu’s basic Constitution reached 450 points! And under additional Magic Power blessings, the Perfect Level Mist Step further skyrocketed his speed, complemented by Vampire Count’s Wings, his speed had reached an unimaginable level!

Chu Xiu gave the Ghost-faced Warrior no chance, directly executing a fourfold Mana output with Mist Step! Speed soared again, his entire being transforming into a nearly invisible afterimage to the naked eye, directly pursuing the blasted Ghost-faced Warrior!

In the output mode with four times the mana, the surging energy within Chu Xiu’s body was like a roaring river. With the overload of energy infusion, the power of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand instantly broke through one thousand and continued to charge towards an even higher value, finally reaching a total of one thousand four hundred points!!!

In the terrified gaze of the Ghost-faced Warrior, the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand punched out!

”Boom!”

With a loud explosion, without any suspense, the armor on the Ghost-faced Warrior’s body directly exploded, and the flesh beneath was also torn apart, with large amounts of blood and flesh scattering in the impact, the remaining body flying backward like a ragdoll, finally landing on the ground with a ”plop”.

The bones of the body were almost completely shattered, with only the broken flesh barely holding together. The Ghost-faced Warrior lay on the ground, barely breathing.

The four gods instantly fell silent, no longer shimmering with light.

They might have thought Chu Xiu would win, but they definitely didn’t expect victory in such a manner.

An absolutely overwhelming crushing!

Chu Xiu, however, remained calm about this.

With a base Constitution of 450, combined with extremely high mobility and a punch with as much as 1400 power.

What Warrior Tier could withstand this?

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have easily accepted the challenge.

At this moment, four veins extended from the statues of the four gods, each ending in a large eyeball, which approached Chu Xiu closely, examining him up and down.

It seemed that even the four gods couldn’t believe there was such a terrifying Warrior Tier.

After a long time, they withdrew their eyeballs, with two of the gods blinking and seeming to leave grumbling after finding nothing, while the remaining ones were the Endless Blood Pool and the Maggot God from the second battle.

They seemed to be in a good mood, having bet on Chu Xiu winning.

Almost at the same time, a prompt sounded in Chu Xiu’s ear.

[Your notoriety in the Abyss has increased!]

”Oh?”

Chu Xiu was a bit surprised. This prompt had also appeared when he thrashed the Pain Incarnation, suggesting that as long as he left a deep enough impression on some Upper-level Beings, this prompt would appear.

Even though he didn’t yet know what use it was.

While Chu Xiu was pondering, the surrounding scenery began to collapse, like a shattered mirror turning to fragments and disappearing.

Chu Xiu found himself back in the ancient, dead-silent arena.

The Ghost-faced Warrior’s corpse lay in front of him, completely devoid of life, with its equipment also burst out.

Four weapons, all of [Perfect] quality.

Weapons didn’t offer much help, but the shield was okay, further enhancing Chu Xiu’s defense.

With a wave of his large hand, he stored all the items and approached the statues of the four gods, his eyes revealing a look of expectation.

These four pieces of [Perfect] equipment, for an ordinary Awakened, were akin to a fortune gained overnight.

But for Chu Xiu, they were just appetizers!

What he truly anticipated was the rewards promised by the Endless Blood Pool, and the subsequent blessings!

As Chu Xiu approached, the Endless Blood Pool eagerly spurted a large amount of fresh blood, seemingly having harvested greatly from the previous bet, in good spirits.

But in a flash of blood light, three light clusters dropped from the blood pool.

Chu Xiu quickly stepped forward to pick them up.

[Acquired Artifact: Cause and Effect Points *6000]

[Acquired Artifact: Ancient Blood *7]

The rewards were as generous as ever, besides the usual Cause and Effect Points reward, there were also 7 units of Ancient Blood and a badge symbolizing him becoming an official Gladiator.
