Zhan Ye Hong smiled, and suddenly a dark black inked tattoo of a five-clawed giant beast appeared on his chest, causing Dou Cha's eyes to widen again. But when he focused his gaze, he suddenly discovered that there was nothing on Zhan Ye Hong's chest but solid muscles. This made him feel somewhat nervous.
Dou Cha shook his dwarf-like big beard and then pointed at Zhan Ye Hong with one finger, "Come on! I allow you to go first!"
Zhan Ye Hong's red eyes narrowed, and suddenly, he exerted force with his feet, and the entire person rushed towards Dou Cha like a crazy bull.
"Ah!" Zhan Ye Hong suddenly swung a punch, and Dou Cha easily dodged it. This made his confidence even more soaring. This punch of Zhan Ye Hong's not only had no ki, but also was slow and clumsy, full of loopholes. Dou Cha was calm and estimated that Zhan Ye Hong's punch had completely exhausted his strength, and there was no way for him to avoid this heavy blow.
Just one round. Could the winner and loser be decided so easily? Flying in the air, Dou Cha even had already thought of the means and words to humiliate Zhan Ye Hong.
"Paa"
However, something astonishing happened. Zhan Ye Hong was able to suddenly pull back his arm and catch the short leg that Dou Cha kicked towards him in the air. This was absolutely incredible! Was he not exhausted at all? Or did he have a faster recovery power and speed?
The red eyes slightly curved, and Zhan Ye Hong's mouth pulled a dangerous smile, looking at the air above Dou Cha, "Such weak and powerless attack, this is the power of dwarfs?"
"Ah!" Zhan Ye Hong suddenly shouted loudly, his left hand clenched into a fist and aimed it at the floating Dou Cha with a lightning-fast straight punch. The fist hit Dou Cha's abdomen, still without ki, but the power of this punch was completely different from what Zhan Ye Hong had shown just now!
The flying Dou Cha was directly knocked backward by this powerful blow and fell heavily five steps away, holding his stomach, and his body had bent into a huge shrimp shape.
Twenty-one gladiators at this moment all opened their mouths wide, and it could probably fit a double-headed dragon egg inside. They looked at the unconscious Omar on the side, then at the crying Dou Cha on the ground, and finally at the relaxed Zhan Ye Hong. The twenty-one people almost acted as if they had agreed, and all quickly retreated backward.
Zhan Ye Hong glanced at these guys, and suddenly his finger pointed at a lizard-like person, the one who had poured cold water on him before. Then he pointed out three characters who usually followed Dou Cha and teased and abused him. He casually twisted his neck and said, "You four can go together."
The four unlucky guys looked at each other and slowly moved towards Zhan Ye Hong with caution. But just after moving a few steps, they were all soaked in sweat, and their usually steady arms were now shaking violently in front of everyone. Zhan Ye Hong didn't say anything, and with a movement of his foot, he appeared in front of the four in an instant.
Three straight punches plus two flying kicks, and finally with a spinning kick ended this contest. The four first-level swordsmen had no power to fight back! They all collapsed on the ground, eaching their wounds and crying loudly.
The leaf-blossing Red stretched her muscles and then turned around, kicking the triangular head of the lizard-like creature and scolding, "You guys are at least three first-class swordsmen. Why can't you even release your chakra?"
The lizard-like creature stuck out its long tongue and pleaded, "We wouldn't dare! Nobles... No no no, Brother Zhan, you will be our leader from now on! You are our leader now!" Zhan Ye Hong's shoe sole rubbed against the lizard-like creature's face, and then he said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in your so-called leader. You'd better not bother me anymore in the future."
The lizard-like creature was like being granted a pardon and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely never bother you again, definitely not!"
"Then what about you?" !" Zhan Ye Hong's gaze swept over the group of gladiators who were standing still. All those who were caught in his crimson gaze trembled all over and hurriedly put their hands together, saying, "We dare not! We definitely dare not!"
Zhan Ye Hong nodded and then released his hold on the lizard man beneath him. He stepped out from the center of the crowd and walked towards the bedding he had placed against the wall.
"Wait a moment!" Suddenly, the voice of Dou Cha from behind rang out again.
Zhan Ye Hong stopped and slowly turned his head, asking, "Do you have anything else?" Dou Cha wiped the sour liquid that had flowed from his mouth and spat it out, laughing and cursing, "Hehehe, you young man's speed and strength are quite good. It seems your body has fully recovered. But, where's your chakra? As a swordsman, you don't have chakra at all. Don't you think that's embarrassing? Shixi Pig!"
Shixi Pig, this insulting name given to Zhan Ye Hong.
The faces of the other gladiators around had already turned somewhat pale. They had already noticed that Zhan Ye Hong's current strength was definitely not as good as before. Dou Cha dared to insult him like this, wasn't he looking for a fight?
However, there were also quite a few people who thought the same as Dou Cha. There were many such examples on the continent. Such a person's speed and strength were already far beyond ordinary people, but the chakra in their bodies was pitifully scarce. There were also quite a few such people. But no matter how skilled they eventually became in body techniques, they were definitely not the opponents of a swordsman with chakra. Because, simply from endurance, they definitely couldn't gain an advantage.
Dou Cha firmly believed that Zhan Ye Hong would never be able to restore his chakra to its original level in less than a day. The recent blow only indicated that his body techniques were good. Therefore, he stood up again with confidence. The yellowish-brown chakra around him slowly gathered and released. He straightened his stomach and then pointed at Zhan Ye Hong, "So, Shixi Pig, how about we compare chakra...?"
"Ah!"
Before Dou Cha finished speaking, Zhan Ye Hong had already turned into a silver-white light and suddenly returned to the spot where he had been, suddenly appearing in front of Dou Cha.
Quick! Quick, as if it were a silver-white lightning bolt! Just see that a strong silver-white light enveloped his hand, and with a thunderous punch, he heavily landed on Dou Cha's shoulder. The yellowish-brown earth-based chakra collided with it and almost immediately was completely extinguished. The entire process was astonishingly fast, leaving people completely unprepared!
It wasn't until Dou Cha was flung more than twenty meters and crashed heavily against the wall of the enclosure that people gradually came back to their senses.
At this point, Zhan Ye Hong's crimson eyes gradually became clear. He spat at the direction of Dou Cha and then to the lizard-like person beside him, "Go, find me another clean bed. I'll sleep in that bastard's bed tonight. Let him sleep in the training ground instead." After saying that, he once again headed straight back, towards the dormitory.
The remaining twenty people all remained silent, only silently watching his retreating figure. They dared to cheerfully pat their chests and take a deep breath as if they were relieved.
Zhan Ye Hong entered the dormitory. The strong smell of sweat and acid in the room made him frown slightly. But that was all. After experiencing hardships and being tortured by harsh environments, he was no longer the pampered young lord of Kusseburg. Now, Zhan Ye Hong no longer cared about such small matters. After finding the largest bed for Dou Cha, he kicked the bedding off the bed and sat up on it with crossed legs.
"The power is still somewhat difficult to control..." Zhan Ye Hong stared at the ceiling, then slowly recalled every step and movement he had made during the attack. "When dealing with ordinary characters, I couldn't even raise a bit of earth-based chakra. But when dealing with Dou Cha, it came naturally to me... It seems that the higher my anger level, the more stable the chakra accumulates, and the more powerful the burst of force. It seems that I have truly become irritable. Becoming irritable can make one stronger!"
Zhan Ye Hong made up his mind, his lips once again revealing a cold smile. Then he closed his eyes and hummed a tune from his hometown, falling into a light sleep.
After a long time, it seemed that the lizard-like person came to change the bedding for him. It also seemed that someone was leaning against the door, secretly peeping at him. Zhan Ye Hong sensed this, but was unwilling to pay attention to it. From then on, there was a long silence.
"Alright then" Zhan Ye Hong was also glad for this silence. After the revenge, there was a thrilling sense of pleasure in his heart. Zhan Ye Hong lay comfortably on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.
But he didn't know that after he fell asleep, the black ink-colored five-clawed giant beast on his chest slowly revealed a terrifying pattern, and soon disappeared again...
"Damn it! When did that bastard regain his strength? In the morning, he was still a worthless thing that was almost killed by someone!" Dou Cha leaned against the wall of the arena, covering his injured shoulder, and said to Omar. Omar also gritted his teeth in helpless annoyance.
"I can't figure out what's going on. His speed is too fast, and his strength is stronger than mine. It's really a damn wonder! But, is that guy's earth-based chakra really that powerful?" Omar, at this point, was covering his chest, with an expression of disbelief.
Dou Cha spat, "Hmph, it was just a sneak attack when I wasn't paying attention. It's not that powerful. I think he may not have fully recovered yet."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Omar, upon hearing this, couldn't help but become interested.
"In the moment he hit me, I could feel his earth-based chakra wasn't very stable. Although it was powerful, it couldn't be fully converted into combat power. Estimating it, it wasn't much higher than me as a second-level swordsman..." Dou Cha, stroking his mustache below his chin, said proudly.
"So then..."
"We can take advantage of his not having fully recovered yet and defeat him again!" Dou Cha said as he spoke, the cold light in his eyes flashing again.
