In the corner of the matchbox, Cancer sat on the ground, starving.
The food in the storage space had long been eaten up, Cancer was so hungry that he even wanted to bite his own arm.
For a Level Nine Martial Artist, going a lifetime without eating is no problem at all.
But Cancer's ability is too special; the more they eat, the stronger they become.
Her stomach was like a bottomless pit, never full; she would get hungry if she didn't eat.
Feeling dejected, the Cancer leaned against the wall, muttering to himself, "I was so stupid, so very stupid."
"Why should I get involved in this battle? I should just listen to my sister and go back to where I came from."
"I finally broke through to the Level Nine Martial Artist, I don't want to die, sob sob sob..."
The Leo on the opposite side was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed. He frowned, opened his eyes, and said, "Can you meditate quietly?"
He simply couldn't understand why Yao Yuan would lock him and the Cancer in the same room.
The Hall of Stars is so large, doesn't it have any extra single rooms?
He felt that Yao Yuan must have done it on purpose.
"That petty guy."
Cancer, listless. "I'm too hungry to meditate."
In her daze, what she saw was not the Leo, but a plate of fragrant, golden-brown roast chicken.
Cancer couldn't help but sniffle, and said rather pathetically, "I... can I have a bite of you? Just my arm, just one bite!"
She felt that her request wasn't excessive.
Anyway, Leo have two arms, so they won't die even if they lose one.
Moreover, the Level Nine Martial Artist will return sooner or later.
Upon hearing this, Leo's face darkened. If things continued to develop this way, Cancer might actually eat him if they got too hungry.
Go eat your own food.
Cancer raised his arm and looked at it, then couldn't help but swallow.
After hesitating for a long time, I still couldn't bring myself to take a bite.
Rumble--
The matchbox suddenly shook violently, ripples spreading across the walls and ceiling, and then it simply vanished.
The two found themselves in a void, and directly in front of them stood the open gates of the Demon Suppression Hall.
Cancer scratched his head. "Am I hallucinating from hunger?"
"Oh my god! Am I really going to starve to death?"
"Waaaaah... The first Level Nine Martial Artist to starve to death, how shameful!"
Leo stood up and said, "It's not an illusion; something must have happened at the Hall of Stars."
Despite his nonchalant tone, his face betrayed his excitement.
Three years, a full three years. Do you know how he got through those three years?
Leo has already seen "promotion and advancement" beckoning to him.
This time, he truly shed blood and sweat for Fairness Society.
Before Leo could even leave the house, he suddenly froze, as the chairman's command echoed in his mind.
"Find the spirit of the Hall of Stars and seize Hall of Stars."
Leo had no idea what a spirit was, but since it was the guild leader's order, he had to obey it unconditionally.
"Yes."
Cancer rubbed his eyes and found the door was still there.
"It's not an illusion!"
"Great! The first thing I'm going to do when we get out is have a big meal!"
The Cancer feels she could eat the cattle from an entire cattle ranch right now.
Leo said in a deep voice, "We can't go out yet. The guild leader's latest order is to find the artifact spirit and seize the Hall of Stars."
Cancer was completely confused. "Where's the president? I can't see him!"
Leo pointed to his head. "This is the exclusive authority of the Chief."
Cancer stared longingly at the door that was so close at hand, muttering, "Three years have passed, who knows if you're still the chief?"
Leo wasn't in a hurry. "As long as I can leave the Hall of Stars, I'll still be the chief."
Cancer shrugged. "Hopefully."
The surrounding space distorted again, the gate disappeared, and the two were transported to an unknown He Fang.
Seeing this, Cancer sighed, "Where can we find that spirit?"
Leo looked up. "The president will guide me."
The spatial barrier behind the two suddenly rippled.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing Leo mask stepped over the barrier.
Both were momentarily stunned upon meeting.
A slight smile played on the corners of the Brother Devour's mouth beneath the mask, "Would you consider this an unexpected bonus? I pulled an SSR?"
He had already passed through several barriers, encountering only demons, which he dealt with with ease.
I never imagined that this wall would lead me to a golden legend.
Leo frowned. " Circus?"
Brother Devour the ground with his left toe, bent down, and placed his right hand on his chest. "Let me formally introduce you, the Circus's chief Heavenly King, the Dark Night Lion King."
boom--
Leo Brother Devour straight in the back of the head, creating a deafening Sonic Boom in the air.
Bang--
Brother Devour's head was hit Precision and exploded like a watermelon.
Leo raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous; this guy was far too fragile.
He and Cancer were suppressed for three years, so their strength was naturally no longer at its peak.
Leo intended to strike first and gain the upper hand, but ended up completely overwhelming their opponent?
While Leo was still in a daze, Cancer's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Careful!"
Leo turned around, and the headless Lion King in front of him suddenly expanded rapidly, instantly transforming into a humanoid beast several meters tall with seven arms and eight legs.
"A sneak attack is not the act of a gentleman; you have truly disappointed me."
Brother Devour his arms tightly around Leo's waist, as if trying to press him into his own body.
The Leo's eyes are bloodshot, as if their eyeballs are about to burst.
" Million-Ton Heavy Punch!"
Bang--
Cancer's pink fist slammed into Brother Devour's side, instantly shattering the surrounding space and sending a powerful shockwave sweeping in all directions.
However, Brother Devour remained completely still, as steadfast as a rock.
Cancer was startled; where did this fleshy monster come from?
"Roar--"
A lion's roar erupted from Leo's body, stirring up Brother Devour's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness and preventing it from finding peace.
His arms loosened slightly, and Leo seized the opportunity to forcefully break free.
Immediately, the phantom of the Nine-Headed Lion slowly coalesced behind Leo, its immense pressure pressing down on Brother Devour's shoulders.
Leo's innate abilities are devouring and transformation.
It devours the target from Flesh and Blood to soul, turning its abilities into its own, but only one devoured entity's abilities can exist at a time.
The Nine-Headed Lion is an SS-class mythical beast, Leo was able to successfully subdue with the help of the guild leader.
The lion's might was overwhelming, and the space where Brother Devour was located was locked.
Leo, carrying the spirit of Nine-Headed Lion, charges in with great force.
With a mere twist of its body, Brother Devour easily broke through the locked space.
The two immediately engaged in close combat.
Lightning Fist Rain and Lion's Roar Cannon exchanged blows, keeping Cancer at bay for a time.
Brother Devour's punches grew faster and harder with each strike.
"That old man is really no good; I haven't even used half my strength yet."
The Leo frowned deeply and remained silent.
The physical strength of the person in front of me is terrifying.
It wasn't the fragile shell he initially thought it was, but rather... Wall of Sighs.
(Brothers, please send me some electricity with your lifespan~ I'm starving!)
