Wang Yu

Chapter 863: Can't Fight Anymore

The Profound Arena, the middle of the stands.

In a separate VIP box, two long stone chairs covered with animal skins were placed, and on the stone table in front of them were two large, somewhat exaggerated stone cups filled with fresh blood of unknown exotic beasts, emitting a warm, fishy-sweet scent.

On one of the stone chairs sat a burly, dark-skinned man, with a lithe, ordinary-looking woman nestled beside him, gently massaging his arm with her soft hands.

On the opposite side sat a lean, blue-black man clad in white bone armor. His face was covered in grayish-white scales, and three claw marks tore across half of his face, giving him a sinister and ferocious appearance.

The blue-black man's eyes scanned the woman's voluptuous figure, following the delicate lines from her neck down to her shapely buttocks, and finally settling on her slender, fair legs, his eyes unashamedly filled with lust.

"Hu Ben, how about we raise the stakes?" the burly man, Chen Yang, asked with a smile, seemingly oblivious to the other man's gaze.

"Chen Yang, have you lost your mind recently? You bet on that frail human, and now you dare to raise the stakes?" the scarred man asked, slightly surprised.

"You wouldn't understand. The higher the stakes, the more you earn. It's all about the thrill," Chen Yang said with a dismissive laugh.

"Alright, I have no reason to refuse someone who's eager to give away money. Tell me, what have you set your eyes on this time?" Hu Ben said, grinning.

"How about the Scaled Thorn Beast's beast core that the city lord gifted you last time?" Chen Yang said with a smile.

Hu Ben hesitated upon hearing this, his gaze involuntarily turning to the human figure in the Profound Arena, feeling a mix of doubt and unease.

He frowned for a moment, then decided he was overthinking things. After all, the opponent that human was fighting today was a Tiger Scale Beast with over three thousand five hundred years of lifespan.

You have to know that survival in this Accumulation Scale Void is extremely difficult. Not only do they face infighting, but they also have to deal with hunting by prisoner remnants. Most exotic beasts find it difficult to live past a thousand years.

Those who live past three thousand five hundred years rely on true strength in addition to good luck.

"Alright, I'll take your bet, but if I win, your beauty here will have to serve in my camp," Hu Ben said in a loud voice, his eyes fixed on the woman's buttocks, wishing he could carve off a few pounds of flesh.

"It's a deal," Chen Yang said with a smile, deliberately patting the woman's buttocks.

The woman giggled and turned to look at Hu Ben, her eyes filled with charm, giving her otherwise ordinary appearance a special allure, which made the latter feel even hotter.

"Roar..."

Just then, a violent roar suddenly came from the Profound Arena.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

A ferocious beast, more than ten zhang tall, resembling a striped tiger but covered with black and white scales, leaped out of the opened cage.

Its huge teeth were jagged and gleaming, and its two protruding fangs were sharp and pointed, like two barbed spears. As it raised its head and roared at the sky, its roar was filled with anger and hatred.

The originally noisy and chaotic Profound Arena fell silent in an instant at its roar, but then a mountain-like wave of frenzied cheers erupted.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"Bite him! Bite him!"

...

Waves of excited and frenzied roars came from all directions, and the atmosphere of the entire Profound Arena became agitated.

Han Li was in the center of the Profound Arena. As a performer in this grand and bloody spectacle, he felt no enthusiasm.

He stared coldly at the exotic beast opposite him, his heart filled with indifference or perhaps anger. Although there was no aura emanating from his body, he gave off a strange and oppressive feeling.

After roaring for a while, the Tiger Scale Beast finally lowered its head and looked at the tiny human in front of it.

Upon seeing him, the exotic beast, whose whiskers were as hard as steel needles, suddenly stiffened slightly. Its lips trembled slightly, and it let out a low growl.

Its two thick front paws slammed into the ground, and its figure suddenly darted out with extreme speed.

Almost in an instant, the Tiger Scale Beast's claws were already in front of Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li immediately took a step back, his body suddenly flipping backward. All thirty-eight profound apertures in his body lit up almost instantly. As he flipped over, he kicked out at the Tiger Scale Beast's jaw.

There was a loud "bang".

The Tiger Scale Beast's huge body suddenly stopped its forward momentum, and its head jerked backward, actually being stopped by Han Li's kick.

A cry of surprise came from the stands of the Profound Arena. Everyone thought that the human, who had no armor or weapons, should have been killed by the Tiger Scale Beast's attack, but such a strange scene had appeared.

In the VIP box, Hu Ben was also a little surprised. He leaned forward slightly and stared carefully.

At this moment, the Tiger Scale Beast's head, which had been kicked back, suddenly slammed downward, like a huge iron hammer falling directly to the ground.

With a loud "boom"!

The ground of the Profound Arena shattered, sand and stones splattered, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Han Li's figure was also submerged in it, making it impossible to see clearly.

A roar was heard, and the Tiger Scale Beast's huge figure suddenly rushed out of the smoke and dust, charging straight forward. One of its huge fangs was holding a figure tightly in place, naturally Han Li.

Han Li held the beast's fangs with both hands, his feet pushing against the ground, but he was still being pushed by this immensely powerful beast. His feet plowed two deep trenches in the ground, and he was pushed all the way to a rock wall on the side.

The material of the rock wall was unknown. Han Li felt a slight chill as his back leaned against it, but it was extremely stable.

Han Li's chest rose and fell sharply, and he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His hands suddenly pressed downward, guiding the force of the Tiger Scale Beast's charge toward the ground.

There was a sharp "clang", and the Tiger Scale Beast's fangs plunged into the ground under his guidance.

The Tiger Scale Beast's fangs were nailed into the ground. With a sudden struggle, it failed to pull them out, and its entire head seemed to be nailed to the ground.

Taking advantage of the situation, Han Li leaped into the air, stepped on the Tiger Scale Beast's nose, and with a sudden push, nimbly jumped onto its head.

The Tiger Scale Beast shook its head violently, trying to break free.

Han Li leaned forward slightly and suddenly raised a fist, striking down heavily on the Tiger Scale Beast's head.

With a loud "boom"!

An invisible shockwave exploded from the Tiger Scale Beast's head, sweeping out in all directions.

The beast's head, which had just been raised a little, fell heavily again, and the two fangs were smashed even deeper into the ground.

"Boom"

After one punch, another followed.

Han Li did not relax because he had controlled the exotic beast, but instead continued to punch down one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The Tiger Scale Beast's head shook again and again, and the ground rocks constantly shattered and collapsed, with streams of scarlet blood flowing from within, forming several streams of blood.

The stands of the Profound Arena were silent. Everyone was a little dumbfounded. How long had it been? A quarter of an hour? Half a quarter of an hour?

It seemed that in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, this mere human had actually knocked the Tiger Scale Beast to the ground.

After more than a dozen consecutive punches, the Tiger Scale Beast's body, which had been arching, had already collapsed. Its body was only twitching slightly, but it no longer struggled violently. It seemed that it was already on the verge of death.

Finally, Han Li stopped and slowly stood up. His gaze swept across the stands and finally landed on the VIP box where Chen Yang was. His eyes were cold, as if looking at a dead man.

His fists were already covered in blood, whether it was his own or blood he had been stained with. It dripped down from his fingertips, splattering on the Tiger Scale Beast's body, creating patches of blood.

After a moment of silence in the Profound Arena, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted, but this time the voices were all for Han Li.

"Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu, Li Feiyu..."

"Won, won... Earned, earned..." The unicorn man who had bet on Han Li earlier stood up excitedly, shouting repeatedly.

"This human trash looks a bit unusual..." Hu Ben looked at Han Li and spat lightly, cursing.

Chen Yang stroked the smooth jade legs of the woman in his arms, but only smiled without saying a word.

Seeing his appearance, Hu Ben pondered for a moment and realized something. He frowned and said, "Chen, tell me honestly, did you know something in advance?"

"Hehe, what could I know? Once you're thrown into this Profound Arena, you're responsible for your own life and death. We're betting on our insight and luck. Besides, the outcome hasn't been decided yet," Chen Yang said with a lazy smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred in the arena!

"Roar..."

After a violent roar, the black and white scales of the Tiger Scale Beast turned up layer by layer, like countless sharp blades standing up. Han Li, who was standing on its head, leaped to the side.

In the middle of the Profound Arena, the Tiger Scale Beast, which had been knocked to the ground and seemed to be on its last breath, suddenly rolled its eyes upward. The original black pupils rolled up, and a second pair of pupils appeared in the whites of its eyes, turning cyan-purple.

"This is... a Double-Pupil Scale Beast?"

Chen Yang's expression suddenly changed when he saw this. He didn't care about the charming woman still clinging to him. He pushed her aside and stood up.

"Haha... a Double-Pupil Scale Beast, that's a rare mutant. Its strength is no longer that of a Yellow-Rank Scale Beast. It seems that Captain Chen has misjudged the situation today." This time it was Hu Ben's turn to laugh triumphantly.

"A mutated Double-Pupil Tiger Scale Beast has the strength comparable to a Profound-Rank Scale Beast. This Profound Duel can't continue..." Chen Yang didn't care about his bet with Hu Ben at all, and said with a solemn expression.

With that, he was about to leave the VIP box and go to the management office of the Profound Arena below.

"Brother Chen, what are you going to do?" Hu Ben frowned when he saw this and stopped him.
