Chapter 28

It's really troublesome. The big-eyed girl who had once paid attention to Cheng Chen looked at him, wearing a cloak, with some helplessness. This guy was too tough; these days she hadn't found a single opportunity to approach him.

Will there be a turning point tonight?

Cheng Chen's attire tonight gave her a sense of crisis.

"......"

Cheng Chen thought about directly getting rid of Hisska; he hadn't expected to meet them here.

Staring at the battle on the stage, the fighter was Lassadi. This woman was extremely strong, able to easily crush her challengers with her martial arts. Her battles never lasted more than a minute, and her combat strength was like that of a tigress...

Facing her, even Cheng Chen would feel troubled, so if they were enemies, he would mostly avoid a direct confrontation.

"Hehehehe... No matter how cunning the prey, it can't escape the hunter's pursuit." Hisska, who had discovered Cheng Chen, laughed sinisterly, her mind pondering how to deal with him later. She couldn't help but shiver again; why did she feel more and more dangerous the more she thought about it?

Speaking of which, when did this guy become so low-key, even wearing a cloak to cover himself? It was a very bad feeling.

"Go, let that guy fight Lassadi. Tell him that if he wins, I can agree to his conditions." The gambling arena boss had a gloomy face. The people he sent out yesterday were useless, being completely wiped out by a single person despite their superior weapons.

They were just a bunch of pigs.

"Wait, tell Lassadi that after this fight, the prize money can be used to buy her and her sister's freedom." The gambling arena boss cackled, "It will definitely be a very exciting battle."

No matter the outcome, it didn't matter. Both were strong fighters, and a mutually destructive result was almost certain.

"Any additional conditions they want to propose will be agreed to."

After all, no one would be left alive in the end, so any promises were just empty words.

"I won't go." After being approached by a bunny girl from the gambling arena, Cheng Chen narrowed his eyes and directly refused.

"Uh..." The bunny girl, who was directly rejected, was stunned. She felt very uncomfortable under Cheng Chen's stone-like gaze, but thinking of the boss's instructions, she managed to force a smile, "The boss said that if you can win this fight, he will provide you with the maximum support."

"I won't go." Cheng Chen emphasized, slightly impatient. It was like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year; they had already shown their true colors, yet they still tried to smooth things over?

Ha ha.

"Really not consider it more? If you win, it will be..."

"Do you fight too?"

The bunny girl's expression became even stiffer. Was she supposed to fight? What a joke. If she went up, she would be killed by the cold-faced man in front of her with one punch, "If it's in the bedroom... I still have some confidence."

"Bedroom?"

The blue-haired girl asked in confusion. She didn't understand why the topic had shifted to the resting place.

"It's not a good thing." Cheng Chen said indifferently, and she lost much of her curiosity. Yes... fighting in the bedroom wasn't a good thing.

On the other hand, Lassadi also received the news and couldn't help but look at the gambling arena boss and his backers. This fat toad definitely had no good intentions, but unlike Cheng Chen, she couldn't refuse. She had been given a death order and had to fight.

And she had to defeat the opponent in a grand manner.

The gambling arena boss had already raised the stakes, and the audience, incited by the commentator, were enthusiastic, eager to participate in this special match. If it were anyone else, these regular customers might not have been very interested.

But the opponents were Cheng Chen and Lassadi. One was a young man who had always swept through the gambling arena but held back, always giving the impression that he had more strength to spare. Lassadi, on the other hand, was the undefeated star of the place.

The most critical point was that neither of them were users, yet they could easily defeat the users in the gambling arena with their own strength.

Lassadi agreed, but on Cheng Chen's side, the bunny girl was almost in tears, the target still as stubborn as a rock, refusing to participate. Anger? Useless.

Seduction??

Ha ha, if it worked, she would like to try the young man's foundation.

The bunny girl, who couldn't persuade him no matter what, saw the time the boss gave her running out and was jumping with anxiety. If she made a mistake here, she would be severely punished... Finally, she looked at the blue-haired girl, who might be a breakthrough point. As for Cheng Chen's cold gaze, she couldn't care less.

"I'll participate." Without waiting for the bunny girl to say more, Cheng Chen directly took off his cloak and placed it on a chair nearby.

"..." Ah ha? If this had worked, what was the point of her almost drying her throat earlier?

Having completed her task, the bunny girl, in a good mood, brought a glass of juice to the blue-haired girl and snapped her fingers, "Thanks, little girl, this juice is on me."

"Eh?"

The blue-haired girl looked at Cheng Chen in confusion, completely puzzled. What was going on?

"Sometimes trying the odds isn't bad."

Seeing Cheng Chen's slightly upturned lips, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but rub her eyes. She hadn't seen it wrong; after being with Cheng Chen for so long, this was the first time she saw him smile... a very stiff and cold smile.

The bunny girl, facing Cheng Chen directly, couldn't help but shiver and quickly left to report.

The female commentator, receiving the signal, immediately called out, "Thank you all for waiting. The special match tonight will start in five minutes. Those who want to place bets, hurry up."

In the five minutes, the female commentator raised the atmosphere to a peak, and many spectators were stimulated to place heavy bets.

At the same time, the game forum was also heating up. The situation was being live-streamed, and many players were trying to place bets, curious to see which native was stronger.

"No knives?" On the stage, Lassadi focused on Cheng Chen, who was putting on his fighting gloves, and asked in a low voice.

"It's not suitable for you." Cheng Chen shook his head. He didn't know how to use knives. The reason he could defeat those guards was that their level wasn't high enough. If their level was high, Cheng Chen wouldn't choose a weapon he couldn't use.

His equipment selection range was very broad and varied. As long as it was suitable for a certain moment, he would choose it.

As for specialization?

It wasn't popular in the wasteland era. There were too many unexpected events, and many aspects needed to be kept in reserve.

"Smart, although you helped my sister, I won't hold back here."

Lassadi glanced at a maid-dressed girl in the audience, "I can't... no, I won't lose."

"I understand." Cheng Chen nodded. Facing such an opponent, he didn't mind saying a few more words. She couldn't lose, and he couldn't fall.

"Then... let's fight."

As she spoke, Lassadi's cloak was left behind, and she suddenly rushed to Cheng Chen's face, sweeping his cheek with a kick. If he couldn't dodge this attack, the fight would be over.

Block?

Forget it, was this woman a crocodile? Blocking this kick would be very troublesome, so he simply dodged.

He leaned back, avoiding the kick. The air flow that swept past his face made Cheng Chen's face feel slightly painful. He couldn't match her strength, but he had another advantage: speed.

Even though Lassadi's attacks were very fierce, if she couldn't hit Cheng Chen, it would just waste her energy. After a while of entangled fighting, Lassadi also realized this and immediately disengaged, "You are indeed troublesome, but with only speed, it ends here."

From the start of the fight, Cheng Chen rarely made big movements. Most of the time, she was the one making fierce attacks. Even with a very strong and resilient body, in such high-intensity attacks, fatigue would set in quickly. If this continued, she would definitely expose a weakness, which the opponent was waiting for.

A very calm opponent, not entering her fighting rhythm. She was aggressive and powerful, while he was agile and swift, fully utilizing his strengths. The fight couldn't drag on.

"Damn, what the hell is this?" The players watching the live stream of the gambling arena couldn't help but shout. After pausing her attack, Lassadi gathered a faint golden aura visible to the naked eye around her hands...

What the hell? Wasn't it said that only the Holy War Angels were special on this continent? What was the aura around that violent woman? It couldn't be that he was seeing things because he had been playing too much?

"Could it be the legendary fighting spirit?" The players, seeing the new phenomenon, quickly started posting, with various speculations flying around. As for what it really was, only time would tell.

"......"

"One minute to end the fight."

Lassadi said in a deep voice. After gathering her fighting spirit, she became fatigued quickly, but the strength of her attacks was very high. Even the defensive formations of the Holy War Angels couldn't withstand her frontal attacks. More importantly, after gathering her fighting spirit, her attacks could extend to a small area.

This way, Cheng Chen couldn't avoid her attacks by exploiting small gaps.

Cheng Chen slightly lowered his body. The previous tactics wouldn't work. He was very uncomfortable with the arena battle, as the entire battlefield was confined to a small area, preventing him from using his full strength. This gave Lassadi, who was not as fast but very powerful, some advantages.

Leaving the arena would be considered a loss.

"Roar, Dragon Piercing"

The gathering of fighting spirit also slightly increased her speed. Closing the distance with Cheng Chen at a faster speed, Lassadi brought her hands together, forming a shape like a dragon's head, and powerfully struck Cheng Chen.

Before even touching Cheng Chen, the pressure from her attack pressed his clothes tightly against his body. Then, Cheng Chen made a move that shocked everyone.

He faced Lassadi's powerful attack without changing his expression, not even making a defensive or counterattack move. Just before being hit, he took a step back...

The audience was stunned.

This step back was outside the arena.
