Chapter 17: The Fight With The Butcher (1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The arena was filled with noise.

The Butcher was like a soccer player in Lin Lei’s previous life. His large foot was raised high into the air, and then he viciously shoved it into the ground.

Boom!

The sand beneath The Butcher’s feet transformed into a physical shockwave, which swept toward Lin Lei like a giant wave.

The sound of The Butcher’s stomping could be heard continuously, and the bone fragments and teeth mixed within the sand caused tiny specks of blood to appear on Lin Lei’s skin.

Lin Lei had no choice but to close his eyes and use his hands to cover his nose and mouth, preventing the sand from entering.

“Gods above! The Butcher has already gained the upper hand when he just entered the arena! I wonder if the Bull Butcher can turn the situation around.

“However, the Bull Butcher’s head isn’t even out yet! I’m afraid he’s already buried alive in the sand!”

Following the host’s explanation, the audience members who had betted on The Butcher as well as those who did not like Lin Lei’s looks, all began to laugh wildly.

However, Lin Lei did not have the time to care about the jeers coming from the audience. He knew that before The Butcher could smash him into pieces, he would probably suffocate to death on the stage.

He bent his body, revealing his sharp canine teeth. His four limbs were on the ground, and his long ears began to turn, carefully listening for the sound of stomping feet.

Then, he opened his eyes and jumped up on all four limbs. He was as fast as an arrow, and the sand around him seemed to separate into a path.

Just as Lin Lei was about to strike The Butcher, an enormous fist filled his field of vision.

Lin Lei was startled, and in mid-air, he forced himself to sink down. The Butcher’s fist swept past his body, and just the wind from it caused his skin to hurt.

Lin Lei landed on the ground, fleeing out of The Butcher’s attack range. The skin on his back was now bruised.

The burning pain made him understand The Butcher’s true intentions.

By using the sand to identify the direction of his Wolf’s Assault, he could be one step faster and knock him down.

It seemed that The Butcher did not only have a huge body but also a huge brain capacity.

“Gods above! Look, it’s Bull Butcher’s legendary form when he defeated Mad Bull!

“What an amazing speed, but it’s a pity it’s useless against The Butcher!”

The host’s voice was filled with regret, but he was also certain that Lin Lei had no chance of turning the tables.

“The Butcher is really sinister.” Seated high up in the audience, Lana’s gaze was focused on Lin Lei.

“There’s no such thing as being sinister in the arena. Lana, you’ve always understood this principle.”

A smile appeared on the corner of Titus’ mouth.

“Too weak! You’re lacking in ability!”

One step at a time, The Butcher walked toward Lin Lei. The ground trembled so much that Lin Lei’s body was beginning to grow unsteady.

“Oh? Then why did you guard against me wearing iron underwear?” Lin Lei slowly moved backward, but his words did not lose out in the slightest.

“Hmph, you stubborn brat. Watch how I crush you into meat paste.” The Butcher laughed in disdain.

“Gods above, Bull Butcher is retreating step by step in front of The Butcher. If he retreats any further, he’ll only be able to shrink into a corner!

“Looks like we’ll soon be witnessing The Butcher’s unique execution performance!”

As the host continued his commentary, the atmosphere in the audience grew more and more explosive, and many of the audience began to boo at Lin Lei.

Most of them were gamblers who had bet on Lin Lei’s victory.

“Pah! This orc is really useless. I thought he could create a miracle, but it seems like he was just lucky in the last round.”

“You can’t say that. Bull Butcher is actually very strong. He was just unlucky to have met The Butcher who’s even stronger.”

“Of course, you’re saying that. You bet on The Butcher!”

Back in the arena, The Butcher slowly forced Lin Lei into a corner with a look of amusement on his face as if he were toying with a small animal.

“You have nowhere to retreat, my defeated opponent.”

Lin Lei did not say anything. He just bent down, his four limbs on the ground.

As for The Butcher, seeing Lin Lei’s current state, the mocking smile on his lips grew even more pronounced. He had already seen through this technique. Could it be that this skinny little thing was going to try again?

“Hmph, you’re a trapped beast!”

With this thought in mind, The Butcher took up a boxing stance.

In the next second, Lin Lei disappeared from his line of sight.

Huh?!

Creak, creak…

Accompanied by a soft sound, Lin Lei’s fingernails dug into the walls of the arena, and he actually began to run along the walls.

Instantly, the entire arena quieted down, followed by a burst of even louder cheers.

While The Butcher was still in a daze, Lin Lei had already run out of The Butcher’s attack range.

‘Now, activate Bear Strength!’

Lin Lei’s originally narrow waist slowly began to expand, and his body began to swell up like a balloon.

The claws on his palm were as sharp as steel hooks, and there were several cracks on the wall he was clinging to.

This was bad!

The Butcher turned to look at Lin Lei, and a thought flashed through his mind.

He immediately thrust his large foot into the ground. He knew very well that he had to interrupt Lin Lei’s transformation. He had never heard of Lin Lei’s current form before.

“This is getting interesting.”

While thinking this, The Butcher continued to kick up sand, while once more drawing closer to Lin Lei.

“Huh? Did that orc grow taller?”

Some of the sharp-eyed audience members discovered, to their surprise, that in just a short period of time, not only had Lin Lei’s body grown larger but he had also grown taller.

Lin Lei’s body was currently covered with a layer of fine brown fur, and his two shoulders were as wide as tires, forming a large inverted triangle.

The sand that could cut his skin in the past could not even cause him any pain now.

He felt as if an F1 race car’s engine had been stuffed into his body, and a powerful force was transmitted through his muscles.

Swish!

Two white steam gushed out from Lin Lei’s nose and mouth, and he leaped up from the wall. Making use of the sand and dust in the air, he once again launched an attack at The Butcher!
