After paying a certain amount of money for the ticket, Laylen came to the spectator stand of the arena.
At this moment, in the arena, which was covered in yellow dirt, there were two strong men fighting for their lives.
One of them was shirtless. His body was burly, and he was as strong as a lion.
He opened his mouth wide and let out a wild roar.
“Mad Lion! Mad Lion!”
As he roared, countless shouts echoed in the surroundings..
This bare-chested burly man, nicknamed Mad Lion, had already won multiple times in the arena. Ever since he entered the arena, he had never lost.
And the person who was fighting him was a man about thirty years old.
Because of the rules of the arena, both sides could not use weapons or attack spells, so most of the people relied on their own fists to fight.
Although this man’s body looked “skinnier” than Mad Lion, when both sides fought, neither side had much of an advantage.
The two fists collided, producing a dull sound.
“Go, Young Master Connor! Go, Young Master Connor!”
In the audience stands, there were also people cheering for this man.
Somewhere in the audience stands stood an old man and a young man. The latter scorned, “Connor and his father both practice poison magic. They must be nuts to be fighting hand-to-hand here.”
The old man chuckled, “I reckon Connor’s here for training after learning some kind of magic that can strengthen the body.
“The magic Connor practices is poison-based. Once they encounter a stronger magic cultivator, they will be crippled. Moreover, Poison Magic is a side-door magic, and there are very few strong poison mages.”
“These few days, Connor came every day and would use Mad Lion to train his body. He has become much stronger. He can now last half an hour under the attack of the Mad Lion.”
“However, no matter what, Connor’s arrival has indeed attracted a lot of spectators for our Gladiator Arena. We have earned quite a lot just from the ticket money alone.”
After hearing the old man’s words, the young man nodded. “That’s true.”
He paused for a moment, then asked, “I heard that Mayor Nelly is really going to die?”
The old man chuckled. “I don’t know. The Tier 5 magical formation of the mayor’s mansion hasn’t been broken yet, and Nelly’s whereabouts are still unknown. However, those peak third-level experts have been attacking the barrier for so long, and the mayor hasn’t come out to stop them. I bet he’s heavily injured, like what they say. However, this has nothing to do with us. As long as they don’t disturb us from making money, it doesn’t make a difference who becomes the mayor.”
Laylen glanced at the two of them. After listening to their conversation, he silently withdrew his gaze.
His target was Connor in the arena.
Then, his gaze shifted to another part of the audience seats.
There was a young man lazily leaning on a bench with a flirtatious woman feeding him food from the side.
“It really doesn’t take much effort to come here. I can take care of two at a time. This way, I won’t have to make a trip,” Laylen nodded to himself.
The young man who was getting fed was called Moss Andre. He was the son of the Andre family. This person was also on Laylen’s kill list.
In the arena, Connor could not fend against Mad Lion at all. After a while, Connor was kicked in the chest by Mad Lion and was sent flying.
Even though they were far apart, Laylen could see the strength of the two. They were both at the peak of tier 2.
However, Laylen did not care about this.
Connor would not be his match even if Laylen were only at tier 2, not to mention that he was currently at the peak of tier 3.
Although Connor was defeated, he did not look disappointed. Instead, he looked at Mad Lion and said excitedly, “I will challenge you again next time!”
Then, he left the arena and walked towards Moss.
Seeing Connor coming over, Moss stood up and smiled at him. “Connor, your physique has become stronger again. Congratulations!”
“Haha, Moss, you’re too polite,” Connor smiled. “Why don’t you go up and try it?”
“Hahaha, then there’s no need,” Moss waved his hand and said, “Let’s look for William and we’ll all have a meal together.”
“Okay.”
Connor nodded.
Their fathers were all powerful figures in Vader City and belonged to the same social circle. It was normal for them to often get together to have a meal and exchange feelings.
“Have a meal?” A sudden voice sounded behind the two of them. “I’m afraid you won’t have a chance.”
Hearing this, Connor and Moss felt their hair stand on end. A sense of danger of being targeted by a giant beast instantly assaulted their hearts.
They both dodged out of the way and looked back.
A fist with abundant magic power came smashing towards them.
“Who are you!?”
Facing the sudden attack, Connor shouted angrily, and then his aura exploded. All the magic power in his body gathered in his hands, and he hurriedly raised his hands to block.
He collided with the fist wrapped in terrifying magic power.
Bang!
Connor’s two arms exploded under Laylen’s punch, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
“AHH!”
After losing both his arms, he fell to the ground and wailed in despair and pain.
“It’s been six years, and you still haven’t improved at all.” As Connor screamed, Laylen’s face began to change, revealing his original appearance.
He looked at Connor, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer.
Six years ago, Connor was at the early stage of Tier 2. Now, after six years, he was only at peak Tier 2.
“You are… Laylen!”
Even though his appearance had changed a lot, Connor could still recognize him.
Although Laylen didn’t practice magic six years ago, he was still the son of the mayor, and the two had some interactions.
Connor was extremely shocked. Didn’t everyone say that Laylen couldn’t practice magic? Why did he become so terrifyingly powerful after just six years?
“Laylen?!”
Moss, who was listening to Connor, was also shocked and looked at him in shock.
“Laylen! How dare you cripple my arms! You will definitely die a horrible death! Your poisoned father is going to die soon, and so are you!!”
Connor’s face was ferocious as he roared.
“Ha,” Laylen smiled faintly and came in front of Connor. A wisp of flame jumped between his fingers and flew out, piercing through Connor’s forehead, instantly killing him.
“The one who will die soon is you.”
Then, he turned his gaze towards Moss.
The next one is you.
Moss, who was watching from the side, was dumbstruck.
Connor was a peak Tier 2 expert, yet he could not even withstand a single attack from Laylen, instantly getting defeated. Moss had wanted to help, but he could not even see Laylen’s movements clearly.
