Meng Lei was very frustrated!
He’d initially thought of himself as someone who owned a modest amount of assets after the last half a year of wealth accumulation. Even though it couldn’t compare to what the nobility had, he had excess money in his card and felt reassured!
That was why he had dared to enter the store to purchase the magic device that he’d had his eyes on for the longest time. Little did he expect that a spatial magic device would actually be that expensive! Even the cheapest spatial ring cost 190,000 gold coins!
Goddamnit!
I’m a pauper after all!
Forget it! I’ll go to the arena first!
...
On this night, all seats in Arena No. 7 were full!
As a Silver Arena, be it scale or decor, Arena No. 7 was a place far beyond what Bronze Arenas could compare with. Just the audience in the venue alone was enough to prove that!
Dragon People nobility decorated with gold and silver!
Big-bellied overlords!
Gorgeous and fashionable upper-class young ladies!
They were people that either enjoyed a high social status or had great riches!
They were either the wealthy or the noble!
This was what the Silver Arena was—the upper-class society’s entertainment venue. It wasn’t a place that the petty bourgeoisie could freely enter!
“Esteemed guests!
“Dear friends and audience!
“Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Flame Arena!
“I am Nilya Noel, your host for tonight!
“Tonight, I am honored to present everyone an exciting showdown between two fighters! The first is the Two-Star Silver Fighter, Aric Bene, the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon!”
A flash of light suddenly shone, and the beautiful Swan-Woman host appeared on the stage. Her clear and melodious voice rang throughout Arena No. 7, and the noisy venue quietened at once.
“Dear guests, all of you should know that the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon is famous for being bathed in flames, and for his strong and ferocious, wild and violent fighting style. He is affectionately known as the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon by the audience...
“As of now, the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon has fought a total of 192 battles and achieved an excellent battle record of 98 victories, 32 draws, and 62 losses, of which, he has knocked out the opponent 19 times. He is one of the most experienced Silver Fighters in our Flame Arena!”
“Flaming Tiger Fire Demon!!!”
“Flaming Tiger Fire Demon!!!”
“Flaming Tiger Fire Demon!!!”
The host had only just said that when the stands erupted into huge cheers. As the most experienced veteran Silver Fighter of Flame Arena, the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon had gained and accumulated immense popularity. Having 1/3 of the audience in the venue cheering and rallying for him was the best proof of this!
However, when the beautiful swan-woman host revealed the other fighter’s identity, the cheers and rallying became even louder. Each wave of cheers overpowered the previous and almost flipped over the roof!
“Thunder God!!!”
“Thunder God!!!”
“Thunder God!!!”
“I love you, Thunder God!!!”
The host was greatly satisfied with the on-site atmosphere. After the waves of cheers died down slightly, she continued and said, “As everyone is aware, the Thunder God is a Magician fighter that’s rarely seen in the Flame Arena. Ever since his debut, he has been termed as the Thunder God by the audience due to his cool and swell battling style and his identity as a Thunder-Element Magician!
“At present, the Thunder God has fought 30 battles, and achieved a great record of 23 victories, 3 draws, and 4 losses! Out of which the 3 draws, and 4 losses had only occurred when he was leveling up to a Silver Fighter. Ever since he successfully leveled up to a Silver Fighter, the Thunder God has not lost a single match and has achieved a crazy battle record of 11 consecutive victories!
“Tonight, can the Thunder God continue his previous madness and overcome the opponent to achieve victory and increase his number of consecutive wins to 12 matches? We look very much forward to that!
“Now, let us welcome the two Silver Fighters on stage with warm applause!”
“Flaming Tiger Fire Demon!!!”
“Thunder God!!!”
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two beams of light shone downward. At once, two light streams—one red and one silver—shot out intensely from the entrances. Before anyone could register it, they had already landed in the ring at top speed!
The light streams settled to reveal two figures!
One of them had a strong and robust body and bulging muscles. He was a crimson red all over, and his gaze was sharp. In particular, his head of red locks, which flew in the breeze, was as though burning flames, giving off extremely high heat!
He was the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon—Aric Bene, a veteran Silver Fighter that had fought 192 matches, and whose victory rate was as high as 51%!
As for the other figure!
He had a golden mask on his face and donned a magician robe. He had an elegant bearing and cut a handsome figure. In terms of body shape and momentum alone, he couldn’t compare to the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon at all!
Yet more than half of the audience present screamed and shouted madly for him the moment he stood on-stage. The noble young ladies were even red in the faces and had become extremely crazed in their behavior, contrary to their previous ladylike elegance!
“I love you, Thunder God!!!”
“Thunder God, I want to have your babies!”
It was easy to see that the audience that had come for the Thunder God was evidently way crazier than the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon’s. As a veteran Silver Fighter, this put an awful look on the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon’s face, and he looked at the Thunder God in an extremely hostile manner!
“For what reason do you get to be more popular than me when you’re just a newbie and a junior?!”
The Flaming Tiger Fire Demon sounded wild and raging as he roared furiously, “Junior, I will finish you, and let the audience realize just how big of a mistake their choice is!”
“Hurhur, come at me, then!”
Meng Lei sounded calm and collected. Hidden under the mask, the corners of his mouth quirked upward slightly into a confident arch. The Flaming Tiger Fire Demon? He didn’t think much of him just yet!
“Kill!”
A bout of red flames suddenly burst forth from the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon and enveloped his whole body. As if he had become a flaming man, he gave off an alarmingly high heat!
The flaming man moved the next moment. He transformed into a burst of flames and shot toward Meng Lei. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed the distance of 20 meters and arrived in front of Meng Lei!
“Good job coming here!”
Meng Lei stared hard at him. With a point of his finger, an electric current shot out from his fingertip and instantly struck the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon. It easily pierced through the flames on the outside to come into contact with the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon’s skin surface, leaving behind an expanse of charred blackness!
“Hmph!”
The Flaming Tiger Fire Demon let out a muffled grunt and froze slightly!
However, it was precisely during this brief moment that Meng Lei launched a crazy bout of attacks. Several lightning bolts as thick as a human’s arm descended from the heavens and struck the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon heavily!
It was the Fourth-Grade Spell, Descending Wild Thunder!
However, it wasn’t over yet!
Muttering under his breath, Meng Lei quickly chanted a magic incantation and summoned all the thunder magic elements within a radius of 100 meters of where he was, which quickly converged toward him. As they fell into place, they actually formed 10 Thunder Pythons that were 30 meters long and as thick as water barrels!
The dazzling Thunder Pythons lit up the arena, and also lit up the eyes of everyone among the audience. This scene was practically too cool! The audience went completely mad and began to shout and roar hysterically! Each of their faces was flushed, as though they were climaxing!
“Sixth-Grade Spell, Lightning Snake Flurry!
“Land!”
Meng Lei struck his palms against the floor. Amidst loud and ear-piercing cries, the 10 Thunder Pythons swooped down one by one, flooding the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon and covering the ring!
“It’s over!”
Meng Lei turned around, no longer sparing the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon, who had been flooded by lightning and electric currents, another glance. Instead, he waved at the screaming audience, turning them even crazier!
“Thunder God!!!”
“I love you, Thunder God!!! Be my 18th pretty boy! I want to keep you in my backyard!”
Amid the crazy shouts, the rampaging electric currents gradually ebbed away, revealing the form of the Flaming Tiger Fire Demon, who had been struck by Lightning Snake Flurry. He could be said to be in an extremely pathetic state right now. The burning flames had already been extinguished a long time ago. Even his clothes had been burned to ashes, and his body was charred all over...
Yeap, the sight of him was a little too horrible for one to bear!
“Ding! Dropped item detected. Will you pick it up?”
“Yes, pick it up!”
“Ding! Assimilation successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Fire Demon bloodline!”
“Huh!?”
The Fire Demon bloodline!?
