Who Else?! [Level 85, SR Rank, Crimson Demon]
Lin Junhao looked at the guy who was even more arrogant and conceited than himself and sneered.
He refused to believe it!
His Level 85 SR would lose to a mere Level 54 SSR.
Lin Junhao had participated in two tournaments and fought quite a few SRs, winning far more often than he lost.
His Crimson Demon was an exceptionally powerful character among the many Contract Spirits!
"Kill him!"
At Lin Junhao's command,
the Crimson Demon moved instantly. Its three heads opened their mouths at the same time, firing three energy waves of different attributes at Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan casually raised a hand and blocked them with the Limitless Technique. Tugging at his suit collar, he said, "Then let's warm up before dinner. I hope you can be a worthy opponent!"
He had just the right chance to test his new skill and see how strong his hand-to-hand combat could become with the first few gates of the Eight Gates.
The Gate of Death could not be opened lightly.
But the other gates were fair game.
"Eight Gates, First Gate—Gate of Opening."
Xia Yuan swung an arm, and his aura surged. His entire body suddenly felt lighter.
Opening the First Gate removed the brain's limitations, allowing the body to exert one hundred percent of its abilities.
It consumed bodily energy beyond its limits to increase attack power and speed!
Mo Shiyu was stunned, her eyes filled with delight!
So this was Xia Yuan's new skill, the Eight Gates.
She had no idea how powerful it was, but Xia Yuan's skills had always been outrageously overpowered!
"Roar!"
During that time, the Crimson Demon's second wave of attacks had already arrived. It charged at Xia Yuan while using long-range attacks to suppress him.
But naturally, its attacks could not reach Xia Yuan. They were all deflected by the Limitless Technique, unable to suppress him in the slightest.
Seeing his opponent charge over, Xia Yuan smiled.
"Good!"
He went forward to meet it head-on.
Lin Junhao burst out laughing. "You actually want to fight the Crimson Demon in close combat? Are you insane?!"
A three-headed, eight-armed creature naturally had six more arms than a humanoid Contract Spirit. Its close-combat strength was naturally terrifying!
Neither side retreated. They collided brutally.
The Crimson Demon's eight arms punched out almost simultaneously, leaving afterimages as its fists came crashing down upon Xia Yuan like a storm.
Even the spectators felt suffocated!
Yet Xia Yuan's punching speed far exceeded their expectations!
His fists, imbued with cursed energy, met the attack like a raging tempest.
After opening the First Gate of the Eight Gates, his physical abilities had risen tremendously. His twin fists moved at an unimaginable speed, though the First Gate alone was still not enough to match the enemy's eight fists.
Any punches he could not block were stopped by the Limitless Technique.
Since one gate was not enough!
Then he would open more!
Xia Yuan did not stop punching as he opened more gates in succession.
"Gate of Healing, open!"
Opening this gate removed the body's fatigue limits, pushing its abilities beyond their limits while continuously restoring stamina.
It offset the fatigue caused by the Gate of Opening's energy consumption.
Xia Yuan's punches became even faster and stronger!
He gradually caught up with the Crimson Demon's punches, and the two sides were nearly evenly matched.
Xia Yuan fought with wild exhilaration, shouting, "Ora ora ora...!"
The Crimson Demon seemed to be enjoying itself as well, rhythmically roaring, "Roar roar roar roar...!"
It was a simple, brutal exchange of fists, yet the momentum was overwhelming. Thunder rolled, and gusts of fist wind surged!
The spectators were left staring in stunned disbelief.
As the saying went, two fists could hardly beat four hands.
Yet Xia Yuan's two fists were fighting the Crimson Demon's eight arms to a standstill!
"Wait, is the Chuanbei God of Slaughter's hand-to-hand combat really this strong? Shouldn't his strength come from his absurdly overpowered skills?!"
"Damn, his punches are like cannon blasts. My Contract Spirit probably wouldn't be able to take even one!"
"This SSR is seriously ridiculous. Not only are his skills absurdly overpowered, his physical combat is this insane too!"
"This is how men should fight—fist against flesh! My blood is boiling just watching!"
"Who's going to win? Who's going to win? If two fists beat eight fists, that'd be completely absurd!"
"..."
Lin Junhao was dumbfounded. The Crimson Demon had never lost in a battle of fists. Other Contract Spirits had always needed to avoid its edge—when had anyone ever faced it head-on like Xia Yuan and not been defeated?!
He roared,
"Crimson, what are you doing?!"
Mo Shiyu was stunned as well. She knew Xia Yuan was decent at hand-to-hand combat, but she had never expected him to be this strong!
Realization dawned on her, and her eyes lit up. "Could the Eight Gates be a skill that enhances physical combat?"
If that was the case, then nearly every one of Xia Yuan's attributes was ridiculously maxed out!
As he continued throwing punches, Xia Yuan's condition grew better and better.
With every punch, the chance of triggering Black Flash gradually increased!
Its power kept growing stronger!
Gradually, the Crimson Demon began to show signs of being overwhelmed!
A crazed smile spread across Xia Yuan's face. "Strike while you're sick and take your life!"
"Eight Gates, Third Gate—Gate of Life, open!"
In an instant, Xia Yuan's muscles became engorged with blood, green energy radiating from his entire body as the power of his punches soared once more!
The balance in their exchange of fists was completely shattered!
Before everyone's utterly shocked eyes, Xia Yuan's fist wind directly overwhelmed the Crimson Demon's. The power of Black Flash, mixed with dense afterimages of fists, hammered into its massive body.
Once the Crimson Demon could no longer keep up, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Before long, it could not throw another punch at all and could only obediently take Xia Yuan's blows like a punching bag!
It did not possess Xia Yuan's Limitless Technique to block punches.
Bang bang bang bang...!
Dents appeared across the Crimson Demon's body. Green blood splattered everywhere, and it lost all ability to resist.
"Ora ora ora ora...!"
Xia Yuan was completely fired up. "What's wrong? Don't you like throwing rapid-fire punches? Give me some more fun!"
The entire arena had fallen silent.
Only the muffled sounds of Xia Yuan's fists landing on the Crimson Demon remained. "Puff puff..."
It did not simply wait to die. Amid that dense barrage of fist wind, its three heads opened their mouths and began gathering elemental energy waves.
Xia Yuan smiled cruelly, briefly stopped punching, and leaped into the air. With a powerful sweeping kick, he struck all three of its heads.
Its charge-up was interrupted!
The Crimson Demon nearly fell into a stunned state.
Xia Yuan appeared behind it like a ghost, raised a leg, and kicked it flying.
Then he leaped again, arriving above the Crimson Demon. Along the four corners of the arena ceiling, he kicked off four times to build power to the limit before finally driving one foot down onto its body!
The ceiling corners shattered and cracked beneath his kicks!
He looked like a black lightning bolt striking four times in succession, an astonishing sight!
"Reverse Lotus, Xia Yuan Edition!!!"
A deafening crash rang out from the center of the arena.
The Crimson Demon slammed into the ground, unable to rise again!
Xia Yuan planted one foot on its body. His domineering gaze swept across the people below the stage as he tugged at his collar and flashed his big white teeth in a smug grin.
"Who else?!"
The next second,
the Crimson Demon turned into fragments and vanished from the arena!
