Sule said with a sigh, "To leave the feeling of failure for yourself after death... that kind of reckless abandon?"

"But if this continues, Gaoxin will really be beaten to death."

"Don't you read a lot? Think of a way."

Luo Yan said, "I've been thinking about it."

He racked his brain, hoping to find a way to help Gaoxin.

Even if it was just a little bit, he desperately recalled all the knowledge he had learned, feeling that he truly understood the saying "knowledge is only useful when needed."

Didn't knowledge change destiny? He had read so many books, even committing crimes for it, spending two million book coins just to access the data that only the upper class could afford in the Emperor Penguin Group.

Was there no way to change Gaoxin's destiny, which was impossible to win?

"Huh? Desperate? He's so unwilling that he's lost the ability to adapt. Maybe that method can help him..."

Suddenly, Luo Yan thought of a piece of knowledge from an expensive document he had seen in the Emperor Penguin Group's bookstore.

He hadn't tried it before, but now that someone was about to die, he had to try anything.

Immediately, Luo Yan rushed out, shouting regardless of his safety, "Wait, this isn't fair!"

He suddenly interrupted all the Wa people's fun. Fúshé frowned, his displeasure evident.

Luo Yan knew he didn't have many chances, so he directly shouted, "You two bullying one, that's unfair!"

The Wa people were stunned. Wasn't this a one-on-one fight?

Sasaki roared, "Baka!"

He slapped Luo Yan to his knees.

Luo Yan knelt honestly and said, "That's right, you hit him like that too!"

"What's your level, and what's his? You are our master. If two Glass Person slaves are fighting one-on-one, and you have to severely injure one of them first, causing him to fall into a disadvantage, then what's the point of winning or losing?"

Sasaki's eyes widened. He realized Luo Yan was referring to the two slaps he had delivered earlier.

"What is this?"

Many Wa people sneered. Everyone could see that even if there was an impact, it wasn't significant. He couldn't win in the first place.

He called this falling into a disadvantage? This was clearly being brutally beaten.

Luo Yan shouted, "You are a powerful Black Hand, a Sub-Wolf Level existence."

"Could Daishan Beida, who can split a cow with one palm, be stronger than you?"

Sasaki was speechless.

Daishan Beida said with a blush, "Of course, Lord Sasaki is stronger. My palm strength is nothing compared to his."

Sasaki thought to himself, "That's stating the obvious, but so what?"

Luo Yan quickly looked at Fúshé, "Lord Fúshé, you said that Glass People should fight Glass People."

"Gaoxin only said he could win against a Glass Person, not against a Glass Person plus Lord Sasaki."

He insisted that Gaoxin was fighting against the combined strength of two people, deliberately trying to compare himself to Sasaki.

"You are such a baka!" Sasaki was furious and raised his hand to strike.

"Do I need a reason to hit you?"

Luo Yan was slammed to the ground, spitting blood.

Sule watched anxiously from the sidelines. These people were unreasonable, and Luo Yan was getting involved too!

But Luo Yan struggled to get up, catching the blood with one hand and saying, "I request Lord Fúshé to allow Gaoxin to be healed first, and then the two can start again."

Fúshé let out a scoff.

Heal Gaoxin and fight again? Was he that bored?

Just as he was about to refuse, Luo Yan changed his tone, "I can heal him too!"

"Hmm?" Fúshé was suddenly taken aback. He would heal him? With what?

Luo Yan cupped his own bloody foam with one arm and trembled as he raised it, "Inside me, there is the Vitality Fat that Lord Rou Si used to heal me..."

"If it can heal me, then healing Gaoxin is a piece of cake."

"No need to trouble Lord Rou Si again. Just feeding Gaoxin my blood will surely be enough."

Upon hearing this, the Wa people were stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fúshé smiled. He hadn't expected that besides Gaoxin, this idiot, there was another 'expert' here.

He was really too clever for his own good. Who said the Vitality Fat that Rou Si injected into him could be used by others?

That was for cell regeneration, something that aided self-healing.

Only when Rou Si personally injected it did it have the effect of activating regeneration. After being injected into another person, it would quickly assimilate, becoming their own fat and flesh to mend their injuries. Even if it were extracted and given to someone else, it wouldn't have much healing effect, at most supplementing various nutrients.

"Hahahaha!"

"Fine, since you've said so, I'll give you this chance."

"But just this once, I don't want anyone to interrupt again."

Fúshé smiled and agreed. In his eyes, it was just another form of entertainment.

However, he still needed to reiterate the rules to prevent anyone from getting too bold.

"Thank you, Lord Fúshé!"

Luo Yan hurried to Gaoxin's side, helped him up, and fed him his own blood.

"Listen, this has Rou Si's healing effect in it, which can alleviate your injuries."

He continued to feed Gaoxin, more and more, without stopping. He even pried open the wound on Gaoxin's severed arm, trying to buy time.

Fortunately, Luo Yan had been healed by Rou Si before, replenishing his energy, and had also been strengthened at the Silver Tower. Otherwise, he would have lost too much blood.

Gaoxin nodded hazily, vaguely remembering Rou Si's miraculous healing abilities, which he had envied before.

And Luo Yan, by chance, had been healed by her and injected with a large amount of vitality-infused substances.

"Thanks, Vocational School Brother."

Gaoxin staggered to his feet and looked at the injured Luo Yan, asking with concern, "Are... are you okay? That little baka hit you a few times, I... I saw."

He spoke slowly, stammering and stumbling, as if he were forgetting how to speak.

Luo Yan grinned, his mouth stained with blood, and said, "I'm fine. My body is full of that fat woman's nutrients, so I'm great. How about you?"

Gaoxin deliberately stretched his body, wincing in pain. "You... don't mention it, that fat woman's blood... is really effective. I... feel much better."

Seeing this, Luo Yan rejoiced and leaned in mysteriously, whispering in his ear, "Listen, my blood is even more effective. My blood hides a special function that can awaken your potential."

"Awaken... my... potential?" Gaoxin was stunned.

Luo Yan nodded. "That's right. It can unleash all the hidden power in a normal person's genes, and it also makes people fearless of pain and injury."

Gaoxin was invigorated, becoming extremely emotional. But then he tilted his head, looking adorably confused. "You... aren't a Radiator, so how can your blood... have such a miraculous effect?"

Luo Yan said gravely, "Haven't you always wanted to know why I, with no money at home, could study at a vocational school? It's because I was a test subject for the school."

"They conducted many experiments on me, giving my blood miraculous properties. It's useless on myself, but it can develop the potential of any normal person."

"I didn't want to reveal this, but you must keep this secret for me!"

Gaoxin was deeply moved upon hearing this. So that was it. This must be Luo Yan's most important secret.

In a hellhole like Sin Prison Island, if anyone found out that his blood could develop the potential of normal people, even a pig would know what fate awaited him! Luo Yan would be imprisoned forever, becoming a blood bag until he grew old, wishing for death.

Gaoxin's eyes welled up with tears. "You've only known me for a day, and you trust me this much?"

Luo Yan's gaze was intense. "We agreed to leave together. Who else can I trust? Look at the others, can they be relied upon?"

Gaoxin was so touched he was practically crying. "Stop talking... Be careful they don't hear. Don't worry... I will definitely win... we'll leave together..."

Luo Yan smiled. "Winning is easy. After you drink my blood and awaken your potential, you'll definitely become a Superior Glass Person. Fighting him will be a piece of cake!"

"Just don't rush it. I don't know how long this medicine will take to work. Stall for time, and when you feel your body responding, then go all out!"

"I said, I will win!" Gaoxin's eyes were firm. It was the first time someone had trusted him so much, and he was determined to win.

Sasaki walked over at this moment, urging them on. "What are you dawdling for? Are you done?"

Luo Yan moved away from Gaoxin's ear and retreated into the crowd, shouting, "Brother Xin Ku! Go, kill him!"

Gaoxin straightened his body and looked back at him. "Leave it to me, I'll... CRUSH... HIM!"

Both of them, their mouths smeared with blood, exchanged a smile.

When Gaoxin looked at Daishan Beida again, his eyes, in addition to determination and resolve, now held a surge of fighting spirit.

Instead of charging forward as if heading to his death, he stood his ground and calmed his breathing.

He had to admit, his injuries had significantly eased, and the agonizing, twisting pain was gradually subsiding.

In the crowd, Sule asked, "Will this trick work? Even with that Rou Si's vitality substance helping him alleviate his injuries, it can't bridge the gap between him and that guy."

Luo Yan's expression turned solemn. "What vitality substance? If this stuff could be taken out of my body and used by others, wouldn't everyone just use their bodies as blood bags for storage? If that were the case, when we saved Tianshe before, those people wouldn't have been so desperate to find Rou Si immediately."

Hearing this, Sule was taken aback. "Uh... you mean, the blood you forced out has no healing effect at all?"

Luo Yan nodded. "Of course. Do you think these beasts would let me heal Gaoxin? They're just watching me make a fool of myself."

"Damn it!" Sule clenched his fist. "Then what can we do?"

Luo Yan remained silent, staring intently at Gaoxin in the arena.

After a long while, he said, "It can only be up to him now. I've done all I can... We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate..."

At this moment, Gaoxin was catching his breath and calming down, but the watching Wa people were growing impatient.

"What are you waiting for!" Sasaki urged.

Gaoxin still didn't move. He felt confident he would win, so why the rush?

It was Daishan Beida who became anxious, mistaking Gaoxin's inaction as a provocation.

He immediately took a large stride forward and brought down his palm strike like a blade.

This move didn't use any technique at all.

From the initial meticulousness to pushing Gaoxin away again and again, he became more and more relaxed.

By the end, he was just using brute force without any skill.

It was the same now; he didn't think the bloody Gaoxin could stop him.

However, it was precisely this carelessness that gave Gaoxin an opportunity!

He suddenly dodged the half-hearted blow, grabbed his arm, and slid straight up Daishan Beida's body, his fingers flashing into his eye sockets like lightning!

"Ugh!"

Daishan Beida cried out in pain from the heavy blow.

But Gaoxin didn't give him a chance to recover. While gouging at his eye, he casually grabbed his neck and bit down hard!

He roared and pulled with all his might, like a madman biting off a large chunk of flesh! Blood splattered!

It was a series of combos, not smooth, but Gaoxin poured all his strength into every move.

"Bang!"

Daishan Beida, having suffered continuous heavy blows, finally recovered. He half-crouched, twisted, and delivered a palm strike, finally sending Gaoxin flying.

Gaoxin landed on the ground, gasping for air, feeling like his bones were about to fall apart, but he started laughing instead.

That vicious combo was something he had planned long ago; every charge before was meant to be like this.

To defeat a stronger opponent of a higher level, one could only fight desperately and ruthlessly.

It's just that every time, he was sent flying before he could do it.

He had imagined it countless times in his mind, but he failed right from the first step.

And as his injuries worsened, the further he got, the less he could do it. The idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

But just now, he felt his injuries were better, and even his reactions were much faster. Coupled with the opponent's carelessness, he finally succeeded!

"Hehehehahaha~da~"

Gaoxin struggled to get up, letting out a strange, excited laugh.

Because he felt two more ribs had broken, but it was okay.

His body felt tingly all over, a numbing sensation spreading through him, and he didn't feel pain.

This must be Luo Yan's blood taking effect.

However, Luo Yan's expression was worried, suspecting that he had gone completely mad.

"You can still stand?" Daishan Beida roared in rage and astonishment. He had actually been outsmarted and lost an eye!

So that was a blow struck in anger; Gaoxin shouldn't have been able to stand after taking it.

But not only did he stand up, he was laughing!

This enraged Daishan Beida. With one eye streaming tears of blood, he lunged forward, wanting to tear Gaoxin apart.

Gaoxin didn't charge head-on. He hadn't felt his potential being unleashed yet; his body was still weak.

Relying purely on instinct, he took step after step, circling around Daishan Beida's blind eye.

"Come on! Watch me... beat you to a pulp!"

Gaoxin stammered, his voice hoarse, mixed with excitement.

Daishan Beida spun around, swatting at the air with his hands, but couldn't land a hit, becoming more frantic with each miss.

The onlookers were stunned. Gaoxin, battered and bloody, hadn't completely fallen.

Now he had even counterattacked and reversed the situation, severely wounding Daishan Beida. How could they not be shocked?

Sasaki's eyes widened, Fúshé's expression was displeased, while Rou Si watched with interest.

"Baka useless!" the Wa people present cursed.

The Wa people weren't shocked; they were just angry at Daishan Beida's underestimation.

They could see the situation clearly. Gaoxin was still weak, his methods weren't novel, he was just ruthless. His footwork was purely instinctual, without any strategy.

The only thing that slightly surprised them was Gaoxin's endurance. To counterattack despite such severe injuries was a fight of trading blood for blood, quite in the style of the people from Sin Prison Island.

"Daishan Beida, what are you doing, you baka!" Six Scars roared.

The cursed Daishan Beida suddenly came to his senses. He stopped his enraged pursuit and stood still.

The intense pain in his eye had made him lose his composure, and he had been led around by Gaoxin.

At this moment, his raw strength far surpassed Gaoxin's, not to mention his karate skills. How could he be fighting so clumsily?

He immediately assumed a stance, not moving even as Gaoxin circled behind him.

He even actively closed both his eyes.

Seeing Daishan Beida with his back to him, Gaoxin saw numerous openings, even spotting the wound on his neck that was bleeding profusely.

He immediately charged forward, intending to grab the wound, his impulse overwhelming!

Seeing this move, many Wa people let out cruel sneers.

"Glass People are Glass People, with no combat experience."

They were all experts, naturally seeing through Gaoxin's amateurish actions.

Daishan Beida felt a gust of wind behind his head and quickly ducked back!

His elbow directly struck Gaoxin, while his right hand reached out towards his left arm, grabbing the hand Gaoxin was trying to claw at the wound on his neck.

"Haa!"

Daishan Beida roared, and with a shoulder throw, he pulled Gaoxin from behind to the front and slammed him hard onto the ground.

This move was filled with killing intent.

Gaoxin's body inverted in mid-air, head down. If he were to hit the ground, his brains would splatter, and he would surely die.

At the critical moment, Gaoxin felt his thought speed suddenly accelerate, and he reacted quickly, pushing his left hand onto the ground!

At the same time, his toes kicked Daishan Beida's blind eye.

"Pfft!"

Both were injured simultaneously. Gaoxin's arm was directly broken, while Daishan Beida's eye socket burst with fluid again, causing him excruciating pain.

The latter couldn't help but let go, but he still reacted swiftly, quickly lifting his leg again for a front kick!

He fiercely kicked Gaoxin in the stomach, like a cannonball being fired!

"Bang!"

A heavy thud! Gaoxin, like a rag doll, flew backward four meters in mid-air before landing, completely still!

Daishan Beida was also not doing well. Although he was still standing, he was panting heavily, blood streaming down his face.

He stood in a karate stance, with only one eye open, his body already trembling.

"Brother Xin Ku!" Sule exclaimed.

The new recruits were also astonished and in an uproar, marveling at the bloody battle.

Gaoxin's raw strength had long been exposed. Everyone present could see that it was just so-so.

But he had gotten up time and time again, fought, trading blood for blood, and managed to severely wound Daishan Beida!

That was a karate master twice his weight, with a strength close to 400 kilograms.

He had been reduced to this state by a street-fighting style, a relentless struggle.

Unfortunately, he still lost.

That full-power front kick just now was terrifying. Gaoxin took a solid hit in mid-air; he would be crippled, if not dead.

"Still not enough? The gap is too big."

Luo Yan sighed sadly, feeling regret for Gaoxin, but this was reality.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it doesn't pay off. All your efforts might end in vain. What's the point of fighting to the death?

Strength, talent, aptitude, education, background – he had none of it. It was only natural that he would ultimately lose with regret.

"Daishan Beida, it seems you need special training! Report to the Redemption Squad at once!" Sasaki wasn't happy about Daishan Beida's victory at all; on the contrary, he was furious.

To defeat a mid-tier, or even an inferior Glass Person, in such an ugly manner brought them shame.

Daishan Beida lowered his head and took the scolding, feeling very dejected.

"Yes, Lord Fúshé, your subordinate will go now!" Daishan Beida agreed.

But just then, a weak voice came, "It's... not over yet, where... where are you going?"

"What?" Everyone looked at the center of the arena in shock. The one speaking was none other than Gaoxin.

He was still lying there motionless, seemingly completely paralyzed and on the verge of death.

But he still refused to give up and wanted to fight?

Good heavens, his mouth was still tough even when he was dying.

"You!" Daishan Beida deeply resented Gaoxin, blaming him for his predicament.

He thought it would be a simple match to please their superior, but it turned out like this. How could he not be furious?

Fúshé was also stunned. He refused to give up even when he was completely paralyzed?

His expression turned grim: "Fine, fine, fine. Then we'll fight until there's a victor."

While saying "victor," his tone was more like deciding life or death.

Daishan Beida understood immediately. This was an order to execute Gaoxin. He strode forward.

Luo Yan was extremely anxious: "Stop being stubborn! If the green hills remain, there'll be wood to burn!"

Gaoxin said weakly, "...I... don't understand... don't understand..."

"I'm telling you to surrender quickly!" Luo Yan urged.

At this moment, Daishan Beida walked up to Gaoxin. One lay on the ground, the other stood.

Gaoxin's face was bruised, his abdomen a bloody mess, terrifyingly sunken, his internal organs likely in shambles.

His lower body was paralyzed, his left hand broken and unnaturally twisted. Coupled with various other injuries, he was surely on the verge of death.

Daishan Beida, hating him deeply, raised his foot, preparing to stomp his head in!

But at that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

Gaoxin opened his eyes!

His eyes blazed with fury. His only unbroken right hand clenched into a fist and shot up, smashing hard into Daishan Beida's groin.

The punch was incredibly powerful, even sending Daishan Beida's three-hundred-pound body recoiling.

It was as if fate's egg had been shattered!

"Eeeeee!" Daishan Beida's single eye bulged, the pain piercing his very soul.

His hands instinctively covered his groin, his legs gave out, and he immediately knelt on the ground, his upper body involuntarily hunching over.

Gaoxin didn't stop. His only mobile hand formed into a blade with his fingers and stabbed out fiercely, hitting the other man's lowered neck as he bent over.

The strength was astonishing! Like a bullet from a gun! It pierced directly through his throat!

It was as if an unyielding reality had been pierced!

Blood poured out!

Instantly, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence, everyone's mouths agape in disbelief.

Fúshé abruptly stood up, as if his seated observation posture was incorrect.

"Brother Xin Ku!" Sule couldn't help but cry out in shock, while Meimei covered her mouth in horror.

This sudden turn of events caused all the seated Wa people to stand up, staring intently at the center of the arena.

Squelch, Gaoxin's palm twisted and wrenched before being yanked out with a violent pull, causing blood to spray like rain.

He slowly raised his blood-soaked hand, the one that had just killed his powerful enemy, towards the sky as if trying to grasp something, and stated word by word: "I already said... I... am a beast in a fight!"

"Oooooh!"

"Xin!"

p.s: Sorry.
