nRing area.
n
n
nThe ring area was about the size of a football field. At this moment, it was already crowded with people.
n
n
n
n
nThe Skyfire Base was controlled by Wolf Walk Guild, so were the bookmakers of gambling here.
n
n
nA large sum of money was bet on Li Xiaonian’s victory. As the vice-president of the guild, Lang Burang immediately received the news.
n
n
nHearing this news, Lang Burang frowned and said to Xiaolang, “Don’t save him any face in the match. In any case, we must win. There are big customers betting on June’s win.”
n
n
nSlightly surprised, Xiaolang asked, “Big customers? How big?”
n
n
n
n
nLang Burang answered calmly, “900 gold coins, bet on June to win within six minutes, and 10,000 gold coins, bet on June’s win.”
n
n
nXiaolang’s heart trembled. Ten thousand gold coins, which was a million yuan. In the entire Skyfire Base, except for Tianyu, he really couldn’t think of any other player who could bet so much money in one breath.
n
n
n“Tianyu?” Xiaolang looked at Lang Burang.
n
n
nLang Burang nodded his head. “Very likely.”
n
n
n
n
nLangxiao frowned. “Do June and Tianyu know each other?”
n
n
nThere was only one reason for Tianyu to bet so much money on June’s win, that was, he was quite familiar with June and believed that June could easily win. Otherwise, only a fool would do this.
n
n
n“I don’t know. I hope it’s not what we think.” As he said, Lang Burang rubbed his head. “The Red Legion does prohibit its members from joining any guild, not even temporarily.”
n
n
n…
n
n
nLi Xiaonian squeezed into the crowd and tried to get in the ring.
n
n
nAs soon as he approached, he was immediately squeezed out by a group of players and they stared at him unhappily.
n
n
n
n
n“What are you doing? Didn’t you see that there is no place in front? Stop squeezing, you idiot!”
n
n
nThe corner of Li Xiaonian’s mouth twitched slightly. “I’m June. I need to get in the ring. Please let me pass.”
n
n
nHaha…
n
n
nEveryone couldn’t help laughing.
n
n
n“You? June? Why don’t you say you’re the brother of the president? That excuse would sound more convincing.”
n
n
n“Dude, you know what, before you, three players claiming to be June had already squeezed to the front. We’ve been fooled by the three bastards. We’re pigs if we believe you.”
n
n
n“…”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian had no choice but to set his ID to visible and looked at them. “Now, pigs, can you make way?”
n
n
n
n
nThe word ‘June’ was displayed right above his head.
n
n
nSeeing this, the surrounding players all looked embarrassed and couldn’t help but make way.
n
n
nWhen Li Xiaonian walked a little far away, they immediately began to complain.
n
n
n“F*ck, I really want to kill that bastard. We just said that casually, and he actually called us pigs.”
n
n
n“Humph, we’ll have plenty of chances to laugh at him when Xiaolang beats the hell out of him. Just wait and see!”
n
n
n…
n
n
nIn the ring, Xiaolang and Li Xiaonian looked at each other.
n
n
nFor some reason, Xiaolang suddenly felt an invisible pressure while facing Li Xiaonian who was standing casually.
n
n
nIt must be the big bet that pressures me. Yes, it must be so.
n
n
nAfter figuring it out, Xiaolang felt somewhat relieved. Looking at Li Xiaonian, he solemnly said, “In order to show my respect, I will do my best in this match. I hope you won’t let me down.”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian who had just gained ten years of fighting memory saw through Xiaolang’s timidity at a glance. He smiled. “I told you that I can beat ten of you put together alone. Come on, don’t waste my time.”
n
n
n“You…”
n
n
nBeing provoked over and over again, Xiaolang was angered.
n
n
n
n
nLi Xiaonian ignored the opponent and clicked on the combat menu.
n
n
nDing…
n
n
nSystem: “You initiated a challenge invitation to Xiaolang. Challenge mode: no level difference mode.”
n
n
nSystem: “The opponent accepted the challenge. Since the opponent has reached level 10, your level is temporarily raised to level 10, with health 90, strength 10, constitution 10, dexterity 10, and intelligence 10.”
n
n
nSystem: “Please select a weapon.”
n
n
nThere was a row of weapons on the virtual interface of the ring, including swords, knives, shields, magic wands, pistols, sniper rifles, boxing gloves, etc., all of which were common level-10 equipment.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian chose a dagger at will and clicked OK.
n
n
nDing…
n
n
nSystem: “Weapon selected, the battle will start in 10 seconds…10…9…”
n
n
nXiaolang chose a shield and a giant axe. After the countdown started, he noticed that Li Xiaonian had selected a dagger, and he scowled.
n
n
nEven under the professional restraint, June only chose a dagger as his weapon, which was simply an insult to him.
n
n
nXiaolang was angry, and the audience in the audience was also in an uproar.
n
n
n“F*ck, f*ck, I thought June would choose a pistol or a sniper rifle and slowly exhausted Xiaolang’s energy, but he actually chose a dagger.”
n
n
n“Damn it, did June give up the game?”
n
n
n“Crazy, he must be crazy.”
n
n
n…
n
n
nDing…
n
n
nSystem: “The battle begins.”
n
n
nAs soon as the restriction disappeared, Xiaolang yelled coldly, “Rage!”
n
n
nIn an instant, Xiaolang’s body swelled rapidly, his muscles bulged, and even the hair on his skin grew thicker.
n
n
nIn a blink of an eye, he became a giant with a height of 2.5 meters. In the rage state, giants’ HP would increase by 30% and strength by 20%. However, although he seemed very powerful, the shortcoming was obvious. In the rage state, it was easy for the player to lose part of his mind.
n
n
n“Die!”
n
n
nLike an angry bull, Xiaolang pounced on Li Xiaonian, yelling fiercely, “I’m gonna make you die a miserable death.”
n
n
nTwirling the dagger deftly in his hand, which danced at his fingertips like a dancing elf, Li Xiaonian just quietly watched Xiaolang rushing at him.
n
n
nXiaolang reached him in a blink of an eye and let out a violent roar.
n
n
n“Tiger Slash!”
n
n
nThe giant axe turned into a roaring tiger, rushing towards him.
n
n
nWhen Li Xiaonian was about to be hit, he made a stop gesture. “Hold on, I have something to say.”
n
n
nXiaolang, infuriated, seemed to be able to kill Li Xiaonian with this blow, but his strong confidence caused him to deflect his axe abruptly.
n
n
nBoom!
n
n
nThe giant axe hit the ground to the left of Li Xiaonian, leaving a half-meter deep hole on the ground.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian smiled and stepped on the giant axe. With a slight kick, along the axe, Li Xiaonian easily climbed onto the shoulders of Xiaolang.
n
n
n“Big guy, what I want to say is that how can you listen to your enemy in battle? You’re so weak and stupid.”
n
n
nAs he said, the rough dagger was deftly thrusted into Xiaolang’s head.
n
n
nPuff!
n
n
nWeakness attacked, damage doubled.
n
n
n-12
n
n
nA deep wound appeared on Xiaolang’s head.
n
n
n“F*ck! I must bite you to death!”
n
n
nFooled by Li Xiaonian, Xiaolang almost went mad in anger. He waved his thick palm backhand, trying to slap Li Xiaonian flying.
n
n
nHowever, like a flexible monkey, Li Xiaonian grabbed Xiaolang’s hair with one hand, and jumped backwards. After avoiding Xiaolang’s hand, he swung from Xiaolang’s left shoulder to his right shoulder like playing on a swing.
n
n
nAt the same time, Li Xiaonian’s dagger ran across Xiaolang’s cervical spine.
n
n
nSmack!
n
n
nWeakness attacked, damage doubled.
n
n
n-12
n
n
n“Ahhhhh!!!” Xiaolang went mad.
n
n
nBeing humiliated by Li Xiaonian, he lost his mind, discarded his weapons, and wildly thumped his own body with his two huge palms, trying to kill Li Xiaonian.
n
n
nUnfortunately, he underestimated Li Xiaonian’s flexibility.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian’s small body jumped up and down on Xiaolang’s body, sometimes hiding on his back, and sometimes in his ribs, and he didn’t forget to stab Xiaolang with the dagger from time to time. No matter how fast Xiaolang tried to slap him, Li Xiaonian could always dodge his palms easily.
n
n
nSeeing this scene, the audience was all dumbstruck.
n
n
n“Well… it’s the first time I saw a giant being teased like this!”
n
n
n“Why do I feel that June is like a flea, jumping up and down, and Xiaolang is tickling himself, scratching here and there.”
n
n
n“Uh, I feel that way too.”
n
n
n…
n
n
nFour minutes later, Xiaolang’s body flashed gray and was forcibly teleported to the edge of the ring. At the moment, his face was gloomy and scary.
n
n
nDing…
n
n
nSystem: “You won the challenge.”
n
n
nLi Xiaonian smiled faintly, glanced at Xiaolang who seemed still unable to accept the result, and said, “Sorry, Captain Xiao, I won. Could you please get me a Skyfire Base Pass?”
n
n
nSeeing Li Xiaonian win, the onlookers were all infuriated.
n
n
n“This game doesn’t count. You cheated.”
n
n
n“Yes, you cheated. If it weren’t for you asking for a stop suddenly, how could Captain Xiao lose?”
n
n
n“He cheats, he cheats! This game doesn’t count.”
n
n
n…
n
n
nCries of anger burst forth from the crowd.
n
n
nThey had no choice. They had all bet on Xiaolang’s win. If Li Xiaonian won this game, they would lose money!
n
n
nLi Xiaonian looked at the audience and shrugged. “I don’t mind a rematch. It’s up to your captain.” Then, Li Xiaonian looked at Xiaolang. “Hey, big guy, do you want a rematch?”
n
n
n“…”
n
n
nXiaolang’s face turned purple with anger and shame.
n
n
nAfter the battle ended, he had calmed down. He knew that although June seemed to cheat, the result wouldn’t change much even if they fought again. This guy was strong, very strong.
n
n
nEveryone looked at Xiaolang, eager to hear the word ‘rematch’ from his mouth.
n
n
nLi Xiaonian jested, “Actually, if you rolled all over the floor just now, you could easily crack my trick.”
n
n
nLang Burang knew he had to do something now. He knew Li Xiaonian won this game with his own strength. He stood up and beckoned the crowd to calm down. “As everyone can plainly see, we’ve lost, but our Wolf Walk Guild can afford to lose. After all, June is an elite of the Red Legion. It’s not a shame to lose to him. Only by acknowledging the strength of others can we face ourselves.”
n
n
nLang Burang was really a worthy head of the Wolf Walk Guild. He resolved the embarrassment of Xiaolang’s defeat with only a few words.
n
n
nAfter pacifying the crowd, Lang Burang looked at Li Xiaonian. “Brother June, I am Lang Burang, the vice-president of the Wolf Walk Guild. Let’s have a chat?”
n
n
nWhat a hypocrite!
n
n
nLi Xiaonian sneered in his heart but still smiled. “Okay, after all, I’m going to stay at the Skyfire Base for some time. Perhaps I’ll need President Lang’s help.”
n
n
nHe had no choice. Although he seemed to be powerful, he was desperately outnumbered by the Wolf Walk Guild. After all, he only had strong fighting skills, but facing a large number of hot weapons, he could only run away.
n
n
nHe was not strong enough yet, so he had to put on a false mask.
