Chapter 31: Winning and Losing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Titus looked down at Lana, his eyes filled with warning.

Lana lowered her head and stopped talking.

“My daughter is unruly. Please don’t take offense, Prince. However, it’s too one-sided to judge the gladiator’s martial arts skills based on the number of victories. We’ll only know if they win or lose after we watch patiently.”

“No, Your Majesty Titus. The skills of Talantum’s gladiators have really opened my eyes. To be able to win 90 matches here, that in itself explains everything. Her Highness Lana’s words are quite wise.”

“Ahura, please bless us. It’s a blessing to meet someone from the same tribe.”

Blazing gave Lin Lei a bow according to Halhaza’s customs.

“If the Ancestral God above knows that I met a fellow tribesman here, he would definitely be very happy.”

Lin Lei returned the bow.

“The Ancestral God?” Blazing was stunned and then felt a little disdainful.

“Then let’s hope that your Ancestral God really exists.”

After speaking, Blazing charged straight toward Lin Lei, the scimitar in his right hand ready to slice through Lin Lei’s neck.

Lin Lei quickly leaped up, landing directly behind Blazing, and then kicked him.

Boom!

Lin Lei’s kick was extremely powerful. He kicked Blazing into a corner of the arena, and a series of cracks appeared on the wall where Blazing was.

“Oh my God, Bull Butcher’s kick was really wonderful! It seems that after not seeing him for a long time, Bull Butcher’s martial arts technique hasn’t deteriorated at all. On the contrary, it’s Blazing, who has always had the upper hand in the arena, who has suffered a loss this time.”

The host jumped up and down in excitement. As a citizen of Talantum, he had been holding back his anger after constantly seeing his gladiators being suppressed by Halhaza’s gladiators.

“Well done, Bull Butcher! You should beat the teeth out of this guy with two humps on his back!”

“Bull Butcher, continue! Kill him!”

“Bull Butcher!”

“Bull Butcher!”

“Bull Butcher!”

The audience’s cheers were overwhelming.

“Your speed is not bad.”

Suleiman was a little surprised. Blazing’s speed was already one of the best among the gladiators in Halhaza, but he did not expect to meet Bull Butcher, who seemed to be on par with him.

However, this was only the beginning. It was still unknown if Bull Butcher had real ability or if this had already consumed all his energy.

‘Speed isn’t the only thing he’s good at.’ Lana turned to look at Suleiman, who was on her right, and swallowed the words she wanted to say.

Not being arrogant and impetuous was how the royal family should be. Her father was already very dissatisfied just now, and she could not make the same mistake.

“A gladiator who has won 90 battles in a row is indeed something.”

Blazing jumped down from the wall. He casually dusted off the dust and debris on his body. Then, he looked up and exerted force on his feet. His wide linen pants actually stretched a little bigger.

“Gods above, look, there’s no injury on Blazing’s body!”

The host had already calmed down, and his voice trembled again when he saw Blazing.

“But to me, it’s nothing!”

Blazing laughed loudly and ran toward Lin Lei, his scimitar in his right hand even more dazzling than before.

At this moment, his speed was more than ten times faster than before. Dust rose from the ground, and his face appeared blurry from running too fast.

The muscles all over Blazing’s body began to tremble, and his wide pants had been torn into pieces.

At this moment, the audience was in an uproar.

“How did this guy become so fast? can Bull Butcher handle it?”

“I’m worried. Didn’t you hear the host say that this guy isn’t injured at all? Think about it, even the wall was cracked, but this guy isn’t injured. How thick is his skin? Even if Bull Butcher is faster than him, he might not be able to kill him. Don’t forget, Bull Butcher doesn’t even have a weapon, but this guy has a big shiny scimitar!”

“Even so, Bull Butcher might not lose. After all, he has another title, the miracle gladiator!”

“Still too slow.”

Lin Lei closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had already turned golden. That golden light in Lin Lei’s eyes was constantly quivering, like two blazing flames.

He dodged to the left at high speed, and Blazing charged forward a few steps. Lin Lei seized the opportunity to once more kick Blazing against the wall of the arena.

“Gods above, I thought that Blazing’s speed was already very fast. I didn’t expect that Bull Butcher’s speed could be so much faster than Blazing! However, this can’t hurt Blazing. Could it be that Bull Butcher wants to defeat his opponent through physical exhaustion? However, everyone knows that camel orcs have the best physical strength.”

The host was very confused.

Naturally, making his opponent exhausted was not Lin Lei’s plan. He just wanted to enrage Blazing.

As for the reason why he wanted to do so…

He saw Blazing running over again. His face still appeared blurry, his speed was still fast, and he was still covered in dust. The difference was that he was holding a big saber in his right hand, and a huge flame was surging on the surface of the saber.

Blazing swung his saber with all his might, and the flames on the blade transformed into a fiery dragon that charged straight toward Lin Lei.

“Gods above! Could this be the legendary technique that can produce flames on a large blade? Oh, could it be that this time, our Bull Butcher…”

The host stopped talking and looked sad.

The audience was in an uproar.

“What should I do? Bull Butcher is my favorite gladiator. If he dies in the arena this time, I’ll be heartbroken.”

“Yeah, Bull Butcher is my favorite gladiator. If even he can’t beat this guy from Halhaza, I can’t think of anyone else who can.”

“May the Ancestral God bless the high priest. May the high priest win the competition safely.”

“This orc’s fire is interesting.”

Titus looked at the scene in the arena, a hint of interest in his eyes.

“In our Halhaza, this is proof of being blessed by the gods. This is neither magic nor talent, but a gift from our god, Ahura. This divine spell can’t even be used by many devout priests. Oh, Ahura.”

The smile on Suleiman’s face was just right.

Beside him, Lana was expressionless, but her hands were already gripping the hem of her dress tightly.

Divine spells were bestowed by the gods, and they also represented the favor of the gods. How could ordinary moves resist the favor of the gods?

This was the move Lin Lei had been waiting for!

Lin Lei quickly leaped forward, and the fire dragon charged forward. Halfway through, it discovered that it had lost its target, so it turned back to chase after Lin Lei.

Lin Lei turned to look. He was overjoyed.

Then, he sped up and ran directly to Blazing.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Blazing also wanted to run, but Lin Lei caught up to him after a few steps. Just as he was about to swing his fiery saber, Lin Lei actually crouched down and rolled to the side.

“Gods above! What did I just see?”

After two seconds of silence, the audience burst into unprecedented cheers and shocked screams.

This was because the fire dragon that had been chasing after Lin Lei had actually pounced directly at Blazing’s face!
