Chapter 886: Chapter 881: Me, Fight Gangxin?

Melt Arm Bart’s team fell silent upon hearing they had to work under Gangxin.

It’s about the combat score evaluation.

Working under Gangxin means he would get the lion’s share of the score.

Melt Arm Bart laughed heartily: "Even if we’re not working under him, we should at least make his acquaintance. In this gladiatorial arena, besides our Furnace Star team, there’s the ’Night Shadow Organization’s’ Crimson Luthor and my old rival ’Iron Curtain’ Juan, each leading a team!

"With three teams standing tall, whoever gains Gangxin’s support will have an advantage in the team competition."

Besides Melt Arm Bart’s team, the leaders of two other teams were present.

——"Crimson" Luthor, "Iron Curtain" Juan!

However, these two teams were unclear about Bai Pu’s origins and were quietly discussing it.

"Iron Curtain big brother, I used my insight skill and saw his Spirit Realm codename, it’s called ’Gangxin.’ In Ascension Plane, Spirit Realm codenames cannot be pseudonyms; this must be his real codename."

One of Iron Curtain Juan’s subordinates, an Awakened Major General wearing red-framed glasses, said.

"Gangxin? I feel like I’ve heard this name before..."

Iron Curtain Juan was a man with short gray hair and three vertical scars on his left cheek. He wore dark silver scale armor, with a well-proportioned physique.

At this time, Iron Curtain Juan was already standing in a circle, as the "challenger" welcoming others’ challenges.

Touching the scars on his face, Iron Curtain Juan slowly said: "I remember now. I think at Bo Le Beverage Shop, there’s an expert who dared to contradict ’Flame Dance’ Chi Lijia... called Gangxin! Good guy, he’s a man of courage."

"Iron Curtain big brother, according to the rules, if no one challenges Gangxin within an hour, he automatically wins the race! Should we send someone up?"

"No hurry, let’s see about the other two teams, and those independents... someone surely won’t be able to hold back."

The last team—led by Crimson Luthor—couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Lord Luthor! This guy called Gangxin obviously used some powerful trump card, temporarily boosting his power to the extent of crushing Iron Spine Balrog! Now that his enhancement time is over, he definitely isn’t as strong!"

Crimson Luthor wore a black metal mask that covered half his face, making his expression unreadable.

"Jin Yang, you go first," said Crimson Luthor.

"I fight Gangxin?"

Major General Jin Yang, small in stature, looked bewildered.

"If no one challenges him within an hour, he automatically wins the race!" another Major General from the Fog Concealer team, "Ye You," urged Jin Yang.

"Isn’t there no rush?"

To avoid fighting Gangxin, Jin Yang’s brain worked quickly, he soon thought of a clever idea, "The rules set by the Red Blood Arena’s master Karamango have a loophole.

"The rule states ’If no one challenges within an hour, he wins the race,’ we just need to send someone to challenge him at the 59th minute. Even if Gangxin wins one match, the time resets! Then we wait another 59 minutes and send a second challenger..."

However, before Jin Yang could finish, Crimson Luthor coldly interrupted:

"Do you think Gaia’s Will is foolish enough to allow such a flaw in the race mission? The unmanned challenge time will always accumulate! Gangxin has been unchallenged for ten minutes now, which is why he used his powerful trump card to swiftly defeat Iron Spine Balrog!

"Gaia’s Will isn’t easily exploited, if you don’t believe it, try it, members of the same team cannot challenge in the same circle to intentionally offer wins!"

During the conversation through thought sense, Luthor had already defeated an independent Awakened. His attacks were measured, showing strength just slightly above his opponent, enough to be considered reachable.

Jin Yang attempted to enter the circle to challenge Luthor, only to receive a prompt:

[You belong to the same ’pre-arranged’ team as the opponent. During the race mission, you cannot challenge the Awakened of the same team unless you are permanently expelled from the team in the Plane World.]

Realizing there was no flaw to exploit, Jin Yang looked mournful: "But I’m really no match for Gangxin!"

"Go up and hold out as long as possible to buy me time."

Crimson Luthor instructed a tactic, "I’ll appear weaker to attract independent Awakened and weaker native slaves to challenge, accumulating victories!"

No choice, Jin Yang accepted his fate, gritting his teeth as he stepped into Bai Pu’s circle.

Upon meeting, Jin Yang wanted to chat a bit to delay time.

However, a conical domain extended towards him, directly enveloping Jin Yang ten meters away! It restricted speed, sprints, and displacement, simultaneously applying adaptive damage!

"How is it possible that, under the suppression of the Evolver World, he can still spread his Domain beyond ten meters?!"

Jin Yang was shocked, could this person in front of him have the energy strength of a High Star King?

But there was no time to think.

Seeing Gangxin approach with peculiar steps, Jin Yang quickly flickered, a mist of black fog spread out, and he disappeared.

Being singled out by Crimson Luthor to come up and delay Gangxin’s actions, Jin Yang certainly had his strengths, his "Ghostly Mist True Intent Prototype" was a composite of Shadow Mystical Arts and Mist Mystical Arts. Though just a Fifth-Grade True Intent Prototype, it had exceptional advantages in concealment.

I bet you can’t catch me!

Bai Pu’s response was a simple spear tip feint.

Divine Turtle Suppressing Mountains!

The dual control of mind and body made Jin Yang unable to move.

Bai Pu followed with continuous spear tremors, tracing several mysterious trajectories. Accompanied by the burst of Prismatic Demon Fighting Qi, a rapidly rotating flow sphere formed, continuously absorbing the black mist.

Mystical Arts Skill: Eye of the Storm.

This Mystical Arts Skill, in itself, was not much of use against a Major General level opponent, if used alone, they could easily evade.

But at this moment, Jin Yang was under the double suppression of the Prismatic Domain and Divine Turtle Suppressing Mountains!

Eye of the Storm easily sucked Jin Yang into the core of the storm.

Bai Pu still hadn’t cracked the invisibility, but he only needed to simply unleash a [Three-Pointed Star Fall] towards the core of Eye of the Storm.

Crunch.

The feeling of the doomsday spear tip touching solid matter was very clear to Bai Pu.

He exerted force and jerked upward, slamming it to the ground, followed by series of meteor throw Qi Force damage and three layers of sharp Qi Force cutting damage.

-1560 (Pierce damage) (1000 damage used to break water mist shield)

-2364 (Throwing damage)

-788 (Sharp cutting damage)

-788 (Sharp cutting damage)

-788 (Sharp cutting damage)

The shield on Jin Yang’s surface shattered like tofu, his body fell miserably to the ground. In a short time, he endured a total of 6288 points of mixed damage, his mind dazed, as if seeing his great grandmother from the Celestial Kingdom.

As he fell, cracks appeared on Jin Yang’s chest armor with a "kakapa."

[Three-Pointed Star Fall]’s Level 7 Shattering Mountain special effect [Shattering Country] triggered, destroying Jin Yang’s upper body armor!
