Chapter 247: The Situation Was Different From Before
After obtaining the key secret to becoming a god, Vincent kept the authority scrolls and the other items. Only the immortal skull was left behind. Vincent placed the skull on his crossed legs and began to cultivate.
Vincent had found out the secret in the skull. Its only remaining value was the spirituality in the skull.
The spirituality in the skull could be turned into the purest psionic energy and used as nourishment for Vincent’s cultivation!
For the past seven days, Vincent had gathered the flame energy left behind by his opponents, together with the remaining spirituality left behind by the Immortals. They were all destined to help Vincent in his path to advance further.
Vincent was fully focused on his cultivation. He threw everything in the outside world to the back of his mind and completely immersed himself in his cultivation.
Before he knew it, the sky was already bright.
The matches in the arena had started in an orderly manner. On the signboards of the Arena of Life and Death, Vincent’s match was naturally arranged to occur at night when there were the most spectators.
Vincent had long forgotten about the time and was still fully immersed in his training. When night fell, many of the spectators had gathered to watch Vincent’s match. They entered the arena one after another. The host also began to build up the momentum for Fire Asura’s match. However, there was no sign of Fire Asura.
“Today is an extremely important match for the Fire Asura! This is because his opponent is the Monster Priest who is one of the top contestants in the arena. If he can win this match, then the Fire Asura will become the first person in history to break through and become a top contestant! If he loses, he will lose everything. Therefore, we can understand Fire Asura’s anxiety at this moment. I think everyone can understand why he is temporarily unwilling to appear on stage. Therefore, we will first invite the Monster Priest to the stage!”
Despite the host’s many calls, Vincent was still nowhere to be found. The host had no choice but to change the topic and introduce the other contestant first.
The entrance to the arena opened, and a cockroach-like monster strode into the arena.
Its shiny black shell was like a set of heavy armor. The way he walked looked a bit awkward as if it had a guilty conscience. At the same time, he also seemed a bit nervous.
All the audience could understand why he was nervous. After all, his opponent was the Fire Asura who had killed General Hell!
After the Monster Priest entered the arena, the host had no more excuses to delay the match. He could only shout again, “Let us welcome Fire Asura into the arena with the warmest voice!”
Everyone was applauding, but there was still no sign of Fire Asura. The host said awkwardly, “It is necessary to remind Fire Asura who is hiding in an unknown corner. There is no rule in the Arena of Life and Death where a contestant will be considered as the loser if they do not show up. No matter where you hide, no matter how long you hide, you will still have to enter the arena in the end! So please enter the arena as soon as possible, Fire Asura. At least you can still retain your dignity as a powerhouse!”
The host in the arena no longer had high hopes for the Fire Asura. The audience sitting outside the arena was even more agitated as they urged him loudly.
“What the hell Is Fire Asura doing? Are you afraid of this opponent?”
“Fire Asura! Don’t be like a coward. We are all here to watch your match!”
“Fire Asura, come out now! Even if you die, you must die on the battlefield! Don’t make me look down on you!”
The audience below the stage was no longer urging Vincent like they were in the beginning. Instead, they began to curse indignantly. If Fire Asura did not appear soon, all the audience members might destroy the Arena of Life and Death given how agitated they were.
On the top floor, the Lord of Ultimate Evil, who had specially dressed up for the match, looked at the increasingly chaotic scene below. He could not help but frown and asked, “What the hell Is Fire Asura doing? If this goes on, the name of the Arena of Life and Death will be ruined!”
Irene, who was standing behind the evil lord, saw this and could not help but say worriedly, “Perhaps something has delayed him. I’ll go and take a look personally now!”
After saying that, Irene hurried downstairs.
Irene was more worried about Vincent’s current condition as compared to the Ultimate Evil Lord and everyone in the audience seats. She was afraid that something had happened to him.
When Irene arrived in the corridor, she saw that there was already a manager knocking on Vincent’s door. However, there was no response from the room for a long time.
Irene walked forward and looked inside through the glass window from the other room. She saw the room in a fiery red color. However, she could not see where Vincent was.
Irene turned her head and urged the managers, “How can you just knock on the door? Quickly open the door and see what is going on inside!”
The manager turned his head and said to Irene with some worry, “Miss Irene, the room has just issued an alert. The danger level has reached the highest level. If you open the door rashly, something dangerous will definitely happen!”
However, Irene scolded in a deep voice, “At this time, what kind of danger can we still care about? If the competition doesn’t start, it will affect the Ultimate Evil Lord’s reputation. Who can afford to destroy his reputation? Moreover, you are all managers that have been carefully selected by the evil lord. Your average strength is around level 40. Don’t tell me that you are also afraid of the danger created by the Fire Asura?”
All managers were speechless. They had no choice but to open the door forcefully according to Irene’s instructions.
“Boom!”
The moment the door swung opened, a fiery red light spewed out accompanied by incomparably hot energy. The hard armor of the manager who was standing in front of the door, instantly melted. His exposed skin instantly sizzled. He was roasted like charcoal.
“Ah!”
The manager, who was a level 40 creature, suddenly let out waves of miserable screams. Under such a painful situation, they finally realized that they had been careless earlier. They had never thought that Vincent, who was only a level 22 creature could actually cause such terrifying damage to them!
Irene, who was standing at the side of the corridor, stood still when she heard the screams of the managers. At the same time, she also felt that the temperature in the corridor was rapidly rising, to the point where it was suffocating!
Irene did not dare to imagine that this was really Vincent’s room. This was because she could not accept that Vincent could become so powerful overnight.
“Ta! Ta!”
Irene could hear the sounds of someone’s footsteps. She saw a figure walking out of the room. His body was covered in a fiery red dazzling light. He looked like a god as he scanned the managers who were screaming around him. It was Vincent!
Vincent raised his hand gently. The high temperature and surging energy in the corridor began to disappear and the scene returned to normal.
The managers who were lucky enough to survive collapsed to the ground. They looked up at the Fire Asura who had injured them badly.
“Impossible, how is this possible? How can you be so strong?”
The manager, who had always been expressionless when facing the contestants, revealed a shocked expression under Vincent’s feet.
Vincent glanced at them indifferently. He did not pay any attention to the managers. Instead, he raised his head to look at Irene, who was so shocked that she could not speak. He smiled and said, “Sorry for making you wait. Let’s go!”
