Chapter 204 – Storming the Ability Arena (Part Three)

Hiss—BOOM!

As the sound pierced through the sky, echoing under the cloudless heavens, waves of startled screams surged forth, faintly breaking through the clouds.

“Sike Jue!!!”

In that moment, countless espers couldn’t help but cry out in their hearts, watching as a bolt of lightning silently split the sky and shot toward the horizon.

Golden Lion, enraged at the sight, instinctively gripped the edge of the wall.

Crack!

Astonishingly, the originally indestructible stone edge shattered instantly, leaving a five-finger gap.

“I’ll handle this!”

But who would have thought, atop the high platform…

A flash of light vanished in the blink of an eye, shining like the sun overhead, not only catching the Son of Thunder God but also throwing a punch in response.

The speed was as swift as a spark from flint.

Yet, what met the eye was two fists colliding head-on.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening thunderclap, a continuous ringing filled the ears.

Only as the light dissipated did two figures become visible.

Ye Kuang staggered back, his expression clearly surprised as he saw the two figures similarly retreating: “It’s you!”

The newcomer was none other than the Child of Light!

Sike Jue: “Bodi, get out of my way! I… cough… I can still fight!”

Bodi: “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to save you. The teacher is already angered.”

No sooner had he spoken than Bodi ignored Sike Jue and strode step by step toward Ye Kuang.

Meanwhile, Sike Jue’s face paled slightly upon hearing those words.

Bodi: “When we met that day, I had no intention of stirring up trouble. I never expected you’d actually dare to come to Ningyuan.”

Ye Kuang: “Whether I dare or not, I don’t know, nor do I care to understand. But today’s events were unavoidable.”

As he spoke, he coldly scanned his surroundings and continued, “Tell me, what will it take for you to let them leave?”

Bodi knew exactly who “they” referred to, but his expression turned icy in an instant as he sharply retorted, “Defeat me first, then we’ll talk!”

Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle!

Flames of light enveloped his body, radiating brilliance in all directions. Before them, it was as if a sun had risen, illuminating the surroundings.

In this moment, Bodi was the sole source of light, and in the hearts of the crowd, he was the “Child of Light”!

Instantly, the clamor of the crowd died down, and the entire scene fell into a silence so profound one could hear a pin drop.

Even Ye Kuang’s short hair began to flutter and dance as if stirred by an unseen wind, wispy trails of green smoke rising from his crown—a clear sign he was ready to fight at any moment.

“Then let’s begin!”

“Here I come!”

Whoosh!

In an instant, wind and thunder gathered, sand and dust filled the air, and the fleeting brilliance erupted in a flash.

Ye Kuang clenched his fist, the Subduing Tiger Fist Intent unmistakably enveloping layers of Subduing Dragon palm force. The air roared with the cries of tigers and the roars of dragons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the radiant light, the two collided repeatedly. The explosive impact of each blow became the only sound fueling the crowd’s fervor.

Ye Kuang transformed his fist into a palm, casually grasping the dragon’s form and imprinting it with the wild power surging from his hand.

Shocking Hundred Li!

“World of Light!” Bodi exclaimed. Though his expression remained unseen, the change in his tone was enough to make every listener present tense.

If “Purgatory Mobile Game” was a virtual creation, then the current clash in the Colosseum was a true test of men.

Roar!

As this scorching aura boiled and filled the sky, it was as if sunlight itself had set the world ablaze.

At the center of the arena, a massive ball of light with a radius exceeding ten zhang had formed.A glance around revealed a landscape of whirling sand and flying stones, with roaring winds and tumultuous waves, as deafening tremors reverberated across the sky.

Crack!

Before long, the sphere of light abruptly began to expand, its surface now densely covered with countless imprints of fists and palms.

As a massive hand pierced through the sphere, layers of blazing flames burst forth, shattering the barrier.

Then, the roars of tigers and dragons echoed, and a figure clad entirely in golden radiance shot out of the sphere in an instant.

His entire body was wreathed in coiling dragons and blazing flames, resembling a phoenix-like beast reborn from fire.

It was unmistakably Ye Kuang!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

He slid forward for dozens of yards, leaving the soil along his path scorched and burning.

At that moment, the sphere shattered like glass, revealing the scene within.

“Cough, cough…” The soft coughs that followed struck the spectators like thunderclaps.

Everyone seemed to share the same thought—an outcome that should have been impossible and one they were unwilling to believe.

Bodi stood there, disheveled and wild-haired, his robes visibly riddled with holes.

Pfft!

Ye Kuang casually spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, but before it could hit the ground, a cluster of flames ignited it, turning it into a wisp of smoke that vanished with the wind.

Witnessing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but tense up.

Which of the two held the upper hand?!

Even Golden Lion was no exception, but with his keen perception, how could he fail to see the truth? For a moment, ripples of energy overflowed from his entire body.

Ye Kuang: “Hahaha… exhilarating! Again!!”

Hearing this, Bodi abruptly raised his head, the flames in his eyes flickering briefly.

“Light Blade Spear!”

“Enough!!!” At that very moment, Golden Lion finally lost his patience and roared furiously at the sky.

Bodi trembled at the words, reluctantly abandoning his desperate resolve.

Even Ye Kuang was not spared—he felt as if a mountain were pressing down on him, making every movement arduous.

His expression shifted instantly!

No matter how he imagined it, he never expected the golden-haired old man before him to be so terrifying.

Golden Lion: “Kid, you’re impressive! Very impressive!!”

But then, without turning his head, he abruptly shouted, “Who dares to fight?”

“Teacher, I’ll go!”

“Child of Darkness, let me handle this.”

“That kid is my prey!”

“Fight, fight, fight—you foul men will never shake off your stinking habit of brawling.”

As the voices echoed, the entire scene fell into silence.

For everyone knew exactly who these voices belonged to—they were none other than the renowned Child of Satan, Child of Darkness, Child of Titan, and the Elven Queen Goddess from the Foreign Land.

At that moment, even Ye Kuang couldn’t help but change his expression.

Only then did he realize their intention.

A battle of attrition!

As these words invaded his mind, even someone as formidable as Ye Kuang couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Just as he thought this, Bodi vanished in a flash, intending to slip away.

This only solidified Ye Kuang’s suspicion.

With this in mind, he suddenly fixed his gaze on the golden-haired old man and asked clearly, “Am I to understand that if I wish to take them away, I must face these friends in combat?”

“Heh…” Golden Lion let out a cold laugh, then added uncharacteristically, “You may also leave as you are. However, as for the fate of those people…”Although Golden Lion’s words remained unfinished, the chilling tone was unmistakable to anyone with the capacity for thought—clearly carrying unspoken implications.

Even Ye Kuang’s gaze turned icy in an instant.
