819 -27: The Movie Star Meets a Harsh Audience
The duel begins.
In Tang Xian’s eyes, this giant crab didn’t have any special offensive tactics.
It brandished its pincers, and with a heavy and powerful blow, cracked the newly repaired arena once again.
This kind of attack strength is terrifying even among calamity-level bosses, but its speed is slightly slow.
Apart from its formidable strength, the crab’s armor is also very thick, allowing it to survive in the deep sea until now with its hard shell.
All of Tang Xian’s attacks were blocked by the crab shell.
But each touch brought the crab one step closer to defeat.
There was nothing interesting about this fight.
It was as if Tang Xian deliberately made it so.
The crab couldn’t hit Tang Xian, and Tang Xian couldn’t hurt the crab.
This was a tough tug-of-war.
The battle between the man and the crab was the longest of all the bouts so far.
Especially from challenger number 82 to 72, there really wasn’t much to see.
The jeers from the crowd outside wished for the fight to end quickly.
From a distance, the sea demon said:
“He can’t hurt that giant crab, and if he doesn’t transform soon, his dodging and darting around will just needlessly consume his energy.”
The Red Emperor remained silent, being the most legendary combatant amongst them, its gaze rested on the crab shell.
The battle between Tang Xian and the giant crab seemed to be only at its halfway point.
Tang Xian was panting heavily, appearing extremely disheveled.
In fact, his resistance had already accumulated to its maximum value, and he wasn’t much drained.
It was just that Tang Xian was striving to create the illusion of a narrowly won victory.
Revealing his strength too soon could make him a target.
This was Tang Xian’s original thought, but he wasn’t a prophet and too far from the sea demon to clearly see its needs.
Therefore, Tang Xian took a detour this time.
By precisely controlling, he reduced the amount of maximum life damage to the lowest.
The battle between Tang Xian and the giant crab took a full half-hour.
Finally, he gradually wore the giant crab down until it lost consciousness.
He himself was also in a bad state, at least it appeared extremely tough to others.
Tang Xian collapsed on the ground, gasping for air grandly, pretending that he had exhausted all his strength, as if the just-concluded battle with the crab was a neck-and-neck fight and the victory was only narrowly achieved.
Although most creatures, like the sea demon, believed that Tang Xian was hiding his strength and that his power would increase sixfold after transforming, strangely, Tang Xian’s performance seemed to others as though he had reached his limits.
Tang Xian slowly stood up, moving up to the 72nd rank, while the giant crab dropped to 73rd.
The sea demon snorted coldly and said:
“I didn’t expect him to endure so much, fighting so desperately without willing to transform.”
The Red Emperor shook its head slightly and said:
“He will not transform.”
“I don’t believe it.
With his current form, the 70th rank is his limit.
This battle has already tested his level, and I will not give him time to rest.”
The sea demon actually had its eye on the trident in Tang Xian’s hands.
Some creatures could indeed use Soul Crystals to conjure weapons, and this trident faintly seemed familiar, yet it couldn’t recall where it had seen it before.
It always felt that once Tang Xian revealed his beast form, it could remember.
Another reason was that it hoped the Red Emperor was mistaken, so it could tease the Red Emperor a bit.
After a dull duel ended, the onlookers roared, hoping for a fight as bloody and highly-ranked as Junlin’s battle against the Splitting Squid.
This kind of smelly and long bronze match was truly uninteresting.
The sea demon spun the wheel, and actually, some of the marine creatures present knew that this so-called wheel spinning had a dark side to it.
But the manipulation wasn’t too excessive; it was just the sequence of turns, at least every Challenger had enough opportunity to fight.
Duels among the top twenty were rare, with Junlin’s bout being just an exploration.
These marine creatures also understood that the upcoming battles would probably revolve around those around rank 20, and there wouldn’t be fights within the top ten.
They all hoped that the wheel would stop on a competitor they feared, but when it did stop, and the sea demon announced the number—
The sea creatures fell silent, and Tang Xian paused for a second.
“Isn’t 72 me?”
One occurrence could be a coincidence, two signaled a correlation.
With this thought, Tang Xian looked towards the gigantic sea demon, alas the distance was too far, unclear.
A bad feeling emerged, Tang Xian now felt a bit panicky.
He had fought the last match “exhausted to the core,” and if this next match suddenly brought a vigorous opponent, wouldn’t that expose him?
He did not want to be targeted, especially not marked as a dark horse in the midst of a melee.
What bothered Tang Xian now was, if he chose to challenge the first place, that would be too inefficient.
If he challenged among the top ten, the leap was a bit large, and if he won, his act would be too obvious.
“What a hassle.”
Fortunately, at this time, many marine creatures dissatisfied with the underdog Tang Xian began to clamor.
[Why him again?]
[A setup?]
[He seems to be out of energy, right?]
[Then he shouldn’t dare to challenge number 62 right?]
[Hey, coward, dare to challenge number 62!]
[Yeah, challenge number 62!]
[Hahaha, he definitely won’t dare!]
Two consecutive calls for Tang Xian intensified the dissatisfaction of these blood-thirsty sea creatures, who continuously mocked Tang Xian, eager to see him, exhausted from the previous match, get torn apart by a sea beast in this one.
Tang Xian noticed that there seemed to be no language barrier among the sea creatures here.
Perhaps it was related to the Colosseum, or perhaps the sea demon.
Because when the sea demon spoke, Tang Xian indeed heard the sound, not just a sensation emerging in his mind.
He currently couldn’t bother to ponder on this issue, because the originally difficult situation had just resolved itself.
