frightfiction Chapter 250 Competition
Chapter 250 Competition
Although Lu Youyou didn't know what supplies the champion would receive, she figured that if the value was the same as the supplies obtained from opening 10 treasure chests, it wouldn't be anything bad.
She had consumed a total of 3 bottles of human evolution fluid, along with 3 pets, a bunch of shields, and over 200 high-level panaceas.
If someone with this kind of setup doesn't even dare to try their luck in the arena, then they're the biggest coward.
Moreover, because she did not continue to recruit more gang members, and no members within the gang gained strength, her ranking on the gang leaderboard fell out of the top three.
If no changes are made, the reward for being among the top three in the hopeless gangs is gone.
After figuring it out, Lu Youyou clicked to use the Arena Teleport Scroll.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"Another ungrateful human!"
"King of Horns, smash this human to pieces!"
Lu Youyou opened her eyes and looked around.
She found herself on a blood-soaked arena, surrounded by endless monsters.
The monsters were unusually excited, staring at Lu Youyou and swallowing hard, as if they had discovered some delicious food.
Lu Youyou frowned almost imperceptibly; her three pets hadn't followed.
Fortunately, the backpack compartments were not closed and could still be used.
"clang--"
The ancient sound of bells echoed in the air.
The bloodstains and filth on the arena gradually disappeared.
Suddenly, an indistinct phantom appeared on the arena.
The phantom flickered twice, gradually solidifying. It didn't resemble a real person, but rather a figure projected onto a screen using some kind of technology.
The person was wearing a mask, so their face was obscured; all that could be seen were a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.
"Welcome everyone to the arena. Lu Youyou, everyone here is welcome to challenge you. Only by winning the championship can you receive the reward. Do you wish to participate?"
Upon hearing the woman utter her first word, Lu Youyou looked up and stared at her intently, unwilling to blink.
"Xiaoqian, is that you?" Her voice trembled.
With a wave of his hand, the phantom sent a massive scythe-shaped beam of light hurtling towards Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou leaped up, dodging the attack.
The phantom stopped attacking, but its voice became noticeably colder.
"Answer my question: Will you participate?"
Lu Youyou snapped out of her daze and calmed herself down.
This is not Yu Qian, she just has a similar voice.
Yu Qian died long ago; I watched her cremation. How could she possibly be here?
It must be an adult's doing again. He's probably hiding in some dark corner watching me.
She can't let herself be influenced.
"I want to participate," Lu Youyou said firmly.
"The competition begins. Please abide by the competition rules and compete one-on-one."
Another familiar bell rang.
As the bell rang, a little girl with a cat's face and a human body appeared before Lu Youyou, and she also had two cute pigtails.
"Human sister, can you defeat me?"
The kitten girl giggled and laughed. Although her face looked terrifying, her voice was clear and childlike.
Lu Youyou replied without hesitation, "Of course."
Who knows if there's some kind of jinx here? If she says something unpleasant to herself out of modesty and it comes true, she'll be furious.
It's no wonder she overthinks things; she's simply experienced many pitfalls and learned many lessons.
The catgirl rolled her eyes speechlessly. Those annoying humans! She hated arrogant humans the most!
"what!"
She opened her mouth wide and breathed at people, revealing her sharp, white kitten teeth.
Lu Youyou didn't feel scared at all; instead, she found it rather cute.
"what--"
Seeing that Lu Youyou didn't dodge and even kept walking towards her, the catgirl opened her mouth wide again and hissed at her.
Seeing that Lu Youyou remained unmoved, the catgirl transformed into a pure white kitten, her fur standing on end, and leaped off the stage and ran away.
The monsters watching the spectacle below burst into laughter.
The masked phantom reappeared, announcing Lu Youyou's victory.
As she disappeared, a person with two large bull horns on their head appeared.
"Human, I'm not like that cowardly white cat. Can you see the horns on my head? They're incredibly hard and can pierce right through your entire body."
Lu Youyou spread her hands with a straight face: "Oh, so this is an arena for exchanging harsh words?"
This was a blatant provocation. The bull monster felt it had lost face in front of the other monsters, so it mooed and transformed into a 900-pound bull, charging towards Lu Youyou.
Instead of retreating, Lu Youyou advanced, grabbed its horns, and used the leverage to sit on its back.
No matter how the Minotaur jumped and swayed, she seemed to be stuck to it, remaining steadily in place.
While the bull monster was catching its breath, she grabbed its horns with one hand to steady herself, and then used the other hand to smash its head down hard.
Her body was modified by the evolution fluid, and in battle, her soft skin was harder than steel.
There was a click.
The bull's head was smashed at the point of impact, and cracks continued to appear downwards.
Boom!
Its massive body crashed to the ground, shaking up its own blood, which then splattered again.
The monsters below the stage were completely silent.
It's unclear who spoke first, but a heated discussion ensued.
"Something's not right, is it? Something's not right! Were there humans who underwent modifications during this period?"
"This human is clearly not in her first improved state! Could it be that the adults have already chosen her?"
"Then what do we do? Should we still go on stage? What if we hurt her and the adults get angry?"
"If we just admit defeat without even fighting, won't the adults say we're not taking our work seriously?"
"The Bull Horn King did his job diligently, but he was blasted to death by her punch. Luckily, he died during working hours and can be resurrected, otherwise it would have been a pointless death. But the process of dying was real, and it was very painful!"
"What the master wants are talented people, not hothouse flowers. If you don't go, I will. If the master knew that we were using flattery in the arena, we would definitely lose our lives!"
"..."
The noise was deafening. Although Lu Youyou heard many monsters saying they wanted to go up, once the arena was cleared, none of them actually went up. They were all waiting for someone else to go up.
The masked woman's phantom reappeared, and she pressed a button in her hand, causing all the monsters below to be electrocuted.
The weaker monsters were electrocuted, revealing their charred animal forms.
They faced two paths: either compete with Lu Youyou or be electrocuted.
Unable to withstand the electric shocks, someone volunteered, "I'll fight Lu Youyou!"
The phantom disappeared, and the monster below stopped trembling.
In front of Lu Youyou was a sheep monster.
Perhaps fearing she would imitate the way she killed the bull monster, the man instantly retracted his ram horns.
He bared his teeth and charged at Lu Youyou.
As Lu Youyou dodged to the side, he did not stop and rushed towards the bottom of the ring.
The monsters below the stage laughed.
The sheep monster blushed and said, "What are you laughing at! I wasn't scared, I just slipped!"
Without a doubt, Lu Youyou won this round.
The next few monsters also followed the example of the sheep monster, using various methods to rush off the stage.
Lu Youyou counted, and including the first little white cat monster, she had already competed nine times.
If one monster represents the value of one golden treasure chest, then she only needs to deal with one more monster.
Based on the idea that those monsters believe they have been chosen by the adults, they probably won't actually do anything.
Just like the previous monsters, they tried to fall out of the ring on their own.
But Lu Youyou only got half of it right.
The tenth enemy is not the monster below, but the masked woman who appeared at the beginning.
The moment the masked woman's feet touched the ground, the two-dimensional figure gained flesh and blood, becoming full and vibrant.
She wore a helmet and armor, and with a wave of her hand, a fluffy black whip appeared, making her look cute and harmless.
But Lu Youyou didn't believe that the long whip was truly harmless.
Even the arena was corroded with deep grooves, demonstrating its immense power.
That woman won't show me any mercy.
