Chapter 68 - Match begin

As he walked into an inconspicuous building, Li Rui keenly noticed that the people around him had changed.

Like a person who had been curled up for a long time stretching, the aura that was originally restrained began to rise.

It seemed like he was venting, but it also seemed like a demonstration.

An invisible pressure enveloped the entire building. If an ordinary person were to enter at this time, they would definitely feel breathless for no reason.

After verifying the player's ID, they went deep underground through a special elevator. Li Rui could hear excited roars from far away.

"Kill him!"

"Crush his head!"

"Side kick! Break his legs!"

A little deeper, a huge underground boxing ring appeared in front of Li Rui.

In the center was a square ring that was tens of meters wide. The audience was sitting around it, and they were waving everything in their hands excitedly. They gritted their teeth and looked like they wanted to rush to the ring themselves.

"These people …"

Li Rui squinted his eyes.

In their excitement, they released their auras without any scruples. Each one of them was not simple.

"Most of them are awakened ones. There are also many extraordinaries who like to watch for fun or gamble. You don't have to worry about them."

They brought Li Rui to the front row, and before they could sit down, deafening cheers suddenly burst out from all around.

It turned out that the battle in the ring had ended. A figure spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew in Li Rui's direction. Li Rui subconsciously wanted to catch him.

However, when the figure flew to the edge of the ring, it suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall.

A translucent ripple spread from the point of impact. Under the pincer attack, the man vomited another mouthful of blood and was not going to live.

"That's a runic defense formation specially used in extraordinary competitions to prevent the aftershocks of powerful extraordinaries attacks from harming the audience."

Seeing Li Rui's surprised eyes, Wang Lei explained to him.

"The King of Fighters competition … It's that tragic?"

Li Rui's fist trembled slightly as he watched the staff carry the twitching player away.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid?"

Wang Lei stared at him with a faint smile.

Li Rui nodded honestly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up.

His pure black pupils were not only filled with fear, but also extreme excitement!

It was this gaze!

Wang Lei sighed in his heart and couldn't help but think of the first time they met.

At that time, Li Rui had just entered high school and he was as weak as a quail.

But when he stepped onto the stage, the excitement and joy on his face made him look like a diamond blooming with infinite brilliance, and his eyes hid a void!

He yearned for battle, for blood, whether it was his enemy's or his own!

With just one eye contact, Wang Lei knew that this child was the same kind of person as him!

Under his calm and rational appearance, there was a crazy and bloodthirsty heart.

As long as he didn't die halfway, this child would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future!

From the first time they met, Wang Lei had decided to train him.

But even Wang Lei didn't expect Li Rui to grow so fast!

The collision of their fists just now let him know that Li Rui's [ eternal indestructible tribulation ] had already reached the beginner level!

How many days has it been?

Back then, it took Wang Lei more than a month to get used to burning his vitality and enter the rapid growth stage.

However, Li Rui seemed to have skipped the initial step and directly started to grow crazily.

Even taking drugs wouldn't be this fast!

Wang Lei suppressed his curiosity and did not ask about Li Rui's Secret.

He was proud and confident that he would not lose to anyone, including Li Rui!

Li Rui's mind was elsewhere at this time and he didn't notice Wang Lei's change.

13 Foundation shard

Looking at the data on the panel, Li Rui felt a sense of fulfillment.

In just two months, his growth was simply shocking!

Not counting the skills provided by the system, he could easily kill most of the awakeners of his age with his basic attributes alone.

His health points had increased by three times, his mana by seven times, and his armor, magic resistance, physical attack, and ability power had all doubled.

His strength was on a completely different level compared to before he awakened.

This change in quality could even ignore the change in quantity to a certain extent.

The rapid growth had also given him incomparable confidence, and he couldn't wait to experience the pleasure of releasing himself with all his might.

Just as Li Rui was immersed in his inner world, a message was sent to Wang Lei's phone.

"Your opponent has appeared."

"Who is it?"

"The official information only has a nickname, Bloodfang. I've checked. He's an African mercenary with French nationality. He once sneaked into the military camp alone and assassinated a warlord. Other than firearms, his best weapon is a tactical dagger."

"A dagger?"

Li Rui inexplicably thought of He Jianan, who he met in the Haidilao cup.

His two daggers were like the fangs of a venomous snake, and they had really caused him a lot of trouble.

Just as Li Rui was immersed in his memories, the people in the ring changed rapidly. Pairs after pairs of players quickly determined the outcome, and very few dragged on for more than three minutes.

In the end, it took even more time to clear the stage than the actual match.

"Next match, [ Bloodfang ] versus [ void terror ]."

His name was suddenly heard on the radio, and Li Rui immediately came back to his senses.

"Go! Enjoy the battle!"

Wang Lei patted Li Rui's back and opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth like a tiger before hunting.

Following the staff into the ring, Li Rui carefully measured his opponent.

He was about 1.9 meters tall and had dark skin, but his facial features didn't look like he was black. He should be of mixed race.

The bulging clothes wrapped around his strong body, and his tactical vest and belt were full of daggers.

The King of Fighters competition's qualifiers prohibited the use of hot weapons, but the number of daggers was a little abnormal, and Li Rui immediately became vigilant.

His opponent was also sizing him up.

A Chinese martial artist without a weapon?

He was less than 1.8 meters tall and very muscular. He had to be careful of his close-fitting body …

After the referee announced the start of the match, he jumped off the ring. The referee of The King of Fighters competition was a high-risk profession.

Of course, there were also irascible brothers who could press the players on both sides together, but that was an exception …

Just as the judge jumped off the ring, Bloodfang's body suddenly flashed and a sharp dagger with a cold light appeared in front of Li Rui.

Motherfucker! Little Li flying dagger?

Li Rui quivered. Fortunately, he was highly focused and tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the dagger.

However, when he returned to his original position, several daggers covered all the vital parts of his body and shot at him like rain.
