After achieving 36 consecutive wins, Mu Ge became the person in Slaughter City with the highest number of consecutive victories.

Bibi Dong had also reached 36 wins, just like Mu Ge.

Although Bibi Dong had arrived later than Mu Ge, she had always stayed one victory ahead of him.

"Bibi Dong, I'll enter the next Hell Slaughter Arena match first. Push yours back by one round!"

So after this match, Mu Ge spoke directly to Bibi Dong.

For no other reason than to keep the title of first place.

Previously, when there had been someone with 67 Consecutive Wins at the top, Mu Ge had not cared whether he was second or third. But now that he had killed the former first place, he naturally wanted to hold onto that title.

Except at certain times, he did not like having women on top of him.

"...Mm!"

Naturally, Bibi Dong had no objection. Nor did she dare to have one.

As for what she truly felt, of course she was unwilling. But since Mu Ge had already said it, could she really refuse?

After this Hell Slaughter Arena match, no opponent in the subsequent matches could force Mu Ge to use the Clear Sky Hammer again.

37 Consecutive Wins, 38 Consecutive Wins, 39 Consecutive Wins... 100 Consecutive Wins!

About a year and a half later, Mu Ge finally achieved a hundred consecutive wins and earned the title of Hell Slaughter Arena champion.

That champion title was rather amusing, really, because in just a few days, Bibi Dong would also achieve a hundred consecutive wins and receive the champion title.

That practically meant that two champions had appeared in the same period.

But those were the rules of the Hell Slaughter Arena. Anyone who achieved a hundred consecutive wins became its champion and also earned the qualification to enter the Path to Hell.

"He won! He really got a hundred consecutive wins!"

"He only took two years. That's insanely strong!"

"More than that. If he hadn't needed to avoid overlapping with the Slaughter Saintess's matches, the Hell Messenger might have achieved a hundred consecutive wins in just one year!"

"That's true. Still, who would've thought that the mighty Saintess of Spirit Hall would actually collude with a Fallen One?"

"You're just jealous, aren't you?"

"Pah! Aren't you jealous too? The Slaughter Saintess's face, that figure... not one of the Slaughter Maids here can compare!"

"Come to think of it, it's infuriating. Even the most beautiful Slaughter Maid has always been monopolized by the Hell Messenger!"

"After a hundred consecutive wins, he can enter the Path to Hell, right?"

"As long as he passes the Path to Hell, he can leave Slaughter City!"

"Do you think the Hell Messenger will choose to leave Slaughter City?"

"Hard to say. The Hell Messenger is very strong in Slaughter City, but once he leaves, he's only a Soul King. He has offended so many sects and factions that he won't have any place to stand outside!"

"..."

Having witnessed Mu Ge complete a hundred consecutive wins, the audience marveled, yet also found it only natural.

Over the past two years, his performance had made them fully understand just how powerful Mu Ge and Bibi Dong were.

Boom—

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the Hell Slaughter Arena.

He radiated a scarlet aura, his face marked with patterns, while a pair of enormous bat wings spread from his back.

"It's the Slaughter King!"

"The Slaughter King has appeared!"

The crowd erupted in cries once again upon seeing the Slaughter King.

Mu Ge noticed him at once as well. He raised his head toward the Slaughter King, his heart tightening slightly.

The immense pressure radiating from the Slaughter King made him keenly aware of his own insignificance, and he found that deeply uncomfortable.

The one before him was only the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King controlling Tang Chen's body. If Tang Chen's own consciousness had been in control, the Slaughter King before him would only have been stronger.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Mu Ge slightly lowered his head toward the Slaughter King, addressing him with the honorific reserved for a Titled Douluo.

Whether or not the Slaughter King was truly bound by this place's rules and unable to attack him, Mu Ge chose to play it safe.

"Hell Messenger, not bad!"

"Are you interested in staying and managing Slaughter City together with me?"

Hearing Mu Ge's words, the Slaughter King nodded in satisfaction. After praising him, he directly expressed his intention to recruit Mu Ge.

He also needed capable people to help him manage Slaughter City.

"Thank you for your regard, Your Excellency. However, I still have enemies outside whom I must take revenge on, so I may be unable to remain in Slaughter City."

"But if I truly manage to pass the Path to Hell, avenge my great grudge, and find myself unable to gain a foothold outside, I hope Your Excellency will still be willing to take me in when I return!"

How could Mu Ge possibly agree? Only a fool would be willing to remain forever in a place like Slaughter City.

It was enough to come here for training. If he wanted to live a fulfilling life, then a place like Slaughter City was not suitable.

The Slaughter King's gaze turned slightly cold at Mu Ge's words. Although Mu Ge had phrased it nicely, he had still rejected him.

"If you can pass the trial of the Path to Hell and obtain the title of Slaughter God, then you may naturally enter and leave Slaughter City freely in the future!"

The Slaughter King spoke as he looked at Mu Ge. Those were the rules here, and even he could not change them.

If he could, he would not want soul masters who had obtained the title of Slaughter God to return to Slaughter City.

Because that would prove they had passed the Path to Hell and obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain, gaining the privilege of using soul rings and soul skills within Slaughter City.

The privilege to use soul rings and soul skills possessed by the staff he had recruited in Slaughter City had all been granted by him, and he could revoke them at any time.

But the privileges gained after obtaining the title of Slaughter God were not something he could take back.

So if Mu Ge truly passed the Path to Hell, he would not want Mu Ge to return.

The privilege he granted and the privilege Mu Ge obtained himself carried entirely different meanings.

"6018, do you choose to open the Path to Hell now?"

Since Mu Ge had already rejected his recruitment, the Slaughter King did not wish to say anything further and directly questioned Mu Ge.

"No, Your Excellency!"

"I want to wait until the Slaughter Saintess also achieves a hundred consecutive wins, then open the Path to Hell together with her!"

Hearing the Slaughter King's question, Mu Ge shook his head and answered.

For the Path to Hell, one could choose to challenge it alone, or wait for another person to achieve a hundred consecutive wins and challenge it together as a team.

"The Slaughter Saintess?"

"I understand. Then the Path to Hell will be opened next time!"

The Slaughter King said nothing more, seemingly unsurprised. After making the announcement, he departed at once.

At least that bastard has a little conscience!

From the audience stands, Bibi Dong watched Mu Ge's choice and snorted inwardly in satisfaction.

She had truly worried that Mu Ge would choose to challenge the Path to Hell alone. It was not that she feared she could not pass it by herself; rather, one more person meant one more measure of certainty.

The conditions of the Path to Hell were unknown. Naturally, she hoped to enter it as a team.
