When in Rome

One strike to kill, and that was before the spine was opened.

Although the first Service Assessment was very simple, Luo Di's performance was far too easy and too outstanding.

The Fei Ji observed everything that had just happened from ten meters above the ground. It was so shocked that its spine clenched up, and at the same time, it had one major question.

Although Luo Di's attacks were swift and his spine-targeting strikes were very effective, it seemed that he had specifically practiced dealing with spine-bound individuals.

But what it really cares about is...

Why would a Spineless being, who kills based solely on instinct and lacks consciousness, suddenly freeze just before attacking Luo Di, even though there was no sign of any magical restraint or mental fluctuation?

Nothing happened.

But this caused an unconscious war beast to instantly lose all its aggressive instincts and stop moving.

In a duel between masters, even a brief pause can be fatal.

It was precisely because of this pause that Luo Di was able to circle around behind his opponent and get into position to target the spine; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to succeed.

"Is this an ability from another world? This apostle is definitely different from the others. I wonder how many rounds he can last?"

Just as Fei Ji was thinking, a pair of murderous eyes suddenly shot over, startling it so much that its spine trembled and it fell several meters.

"Fei Ji? Why hasn't the next match started yet?"

"No need to rush, now is your reward time."

Whether you're slaying Spinewalkers here or engaging in life-or-death battles with other Spinewalkers in the Chaos Nest, once you kill another Spinewalker, you acquire ownership of their spine.

You can try to pull out his spine; if your teeth are good enough, you can bite into it and eat it directly.

Under normal circumstances, you can directly suck the spinal cord inside, which will be very beneficial to your body.

Is that so?

Luo Di looked at the corpse of the dead Spine Man on the ground.

In the Human World, such behavior would be prohibited, vulgar, and despised, both morally and legally.

But in hell, the other side encourages such behavior.

Moreover, Luo Di is now a the Devil on a physical level, a non-human spineless being.

He didn't have much of a psychological burden. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Only by abandoning the constraints of Human Society can he integrate into it more quickly and gain the power to explore every nook and cranny.

He squatted down.

Instead of sucking roughly like a beast, they used the Torture Chamber Left Arm to construct multiple flexible metal tubes, which were then inserted into the broken spine of the victim.

As part of Luo Di dual Hell System, the highly integrated torture device with the spine makes this sucking behavior exceptionally streamlined and efficient.

The metal straw formed by the palm can sense the spinal cord.

It can adaptively filter out impurities to obtain high-purity bone marrow fluid.

Moreover, it doesn't require the mouth and digestive organs; it can't even be considered "eating," but rather "absorption," directly delivering nutrients to Luo Di's back.

"Um!?"

An unprecedented feeling spread throughout my body.

This is more intuitive than eating to fill hunger. You can clearly feel your spine being nourished and your energy being replenished. More importantly, something related to "teeth" directly affects Luo Di's oral cavity.

Looking into the mouth through the reflection of the butcher's knife, the teeth inside appeared to be whiter and brighter, and even harder.

"The spine... no wonder he loves war so much, no wonder he's so belligerent."

The spinal cord of a fellow tribesman could have such an effect; it's estimated that if a spinal warrior died on the battlefield, most of their vertebrae would serve as nourishment for their comrades.

After the sucking ended, Luo Di looked at Fei Ji again.

This time, the gaze lacked some of the murderous intent, but possessed more of a gluttonous glint. The latter, naturally sensing this, quickly flew away from Luo Di, feigning composure as he said:

"Cough cough, it feels pretty good, right?"

The second match is about to begin. I just received intelligence that you will be facing the [Blood Witch].

This is an avatar created by a member of a certain legion. It can unleash blood magic, fight at long range, and can transform into blood itself, making it difficult to kill by physical means.

You must find a way to kill him as soon as possible, or you will be devoured by blood.

As the message came from the Fei Ji, the gates of the targeted Colosseum reopened.

What emerges from within is no longer a restless, anxious opponent who rushes forward the moment they appear.

Instead, a dark the Devil wearing a leather robe slowly emerged, his forehead etched with Hell Symbol made of lava.

The other party raised his arm as soon as he appeared.

Special blood lines spread from his back to his arms, then overflowed from his palms, which were engraved with Hell Symbol, and gathered into a ball of blood in front of him.

It was very threatening, which caught Luo Di's eye.

Buzz!

Driven by some kind of witchcraft, the blood sphere was launched at an extremely high speed, almost reaching the speed of a bullet.

If it hits, it will cause a violent explosion.

The blood from the explosion will turn into spikes, further penetrating the target body and causing blood to take over.

Faced with the rapidly approaching blood orbs,

Just like in the previous match, Luo Di did not dodge at all, but simply stood still in place.

Impact ~ Explosion!

Snap!

A large amount of blood mist exploded in the center of the Colosseum.

Even the Fei Ji, located tens of meters away, felt the shockwave and was forced to continue retreating, its spine slightly stained red.

But it seemed to sense something, that Luo Di had used a special ability that didn't belong to the Spine before the explosion.

As the blood mist dissipated,

There were no shattered corpses scattered on the ground, nor was there any trace of Luo Di.

At the epicenter of the explosion stood only a metal structure resembling a human figure... or more precisely, a torture device!

Iron Maiden

Fei Ji stared at the torture device that had been created almost instantly.

"This is a Prologue's ability! And it's something exclusive to the torture chamber... This guy is so proficient in it, are the Prologue really training him as one of their own? If so, his future service arrangements might change."

On the field.

The Iron Maiden blocked the first blood orb.

Luo Di had already charged toward the opponent the moment the blood orb exploded.

It is certain that the spellcaster's spell requires a certain amount of time, and the spine needs to transmit some special energy to the palm to complete the condensation of the blood cell.

At this time,

Luo Di didn't even need to split his spine; he only needed to approach at full speed.

The next blood cell is condensing and is about to take shape.

Clang! A metallic sound came from Luo Di's left arm, followed by a butcher's hook being thrown over.

The force was immense, and the speed was incredible.

The specially designed torture device, a curved hook, pierced through the Blood Witch's body and remained firmly embedded within.

Pain relief!

The powerful pain factor blocked the Blood Witch's blood from circulating throughout her body, leaving her stuck in place, screaming in agony.

Use your left arm to exert force.

Hook chain pull back,

Cut in two

As the Blood Witch's body was cleaved open, a section of her bloody spine was grabbed by Luo Di and perfectly separated.

The entire movement was swift and decisive.

The Blood Witch's body, severed in two, fell to the ground and turned into blood.

The bright red spine held in Luo Di's hand had been inserted into a metal tube and was beginning to be sucked.

Unlike the previous spine.

This spine greatly replenished his spirit, making Luo Di's mind clear, and even nourishing his unrelated pituitary gland.

However, Luo Di's mind did not relax in the slightest; this feeling of easy victory was really out of place in such a Colosseum.

At that moment, Fei Ji's voice came from above:

"Attention, Luo Di! The first two warm-up assessments are over, and two legions have expressed interest in you. You can now choose to stop the assessments and join a legion as a soldier."

You can also choose to continue the assessment.

Next, you will be faced with a true enemy in a life-or-death battle.

These enemies were either hostile the Devil captured by the Spinewalkers during their campaigns, or individuals captured alive while handling special events.

Luo Di tossed his drained spine aside and twisted his neck, as if he had just finished warming up.

His spine had just warmed up, and he had just felt the warm current flowing in, and he didn't want it to stop there.

"Continue..."
