After the previous bout had ended, the One-ard Giant, who had completely lost the ability to move, had been teleported down from the stage by the System and was now lying on the ground, bleeding continuously.
mbers of the Voodoo Black Witch Clan, who had hurried over from the audience seats, surrounded him. They lit herbs, released smoke, and sprayed mist into his injured eye socket, barely managing to stop the bleeding.
Silently, the mbers of the Voodoo Black Witch Clan took Ogun Mula and teleported out of the Dueling Field. Before leaving, a few of them deliberately turned to cast venomous glares at Wanli Fengdao. He, however, just shrugged nonchalantly.
Before killing, one must be prepared to be killed.
As the One-ard Giant vanished from the spot where he had been teleported, the pool of blood beneath him also disappeared.
This interlude did not affect the Dueling Field's continued operation; both the staff and the audience were accustod to grueso scenes.
After all, the dical capabilities of the Secret Societies were advanced. As long as one didn't die on the spot, most could be saved.
Li Ang was still scrutinizing Blackstone Razor from a distance.
Seemingly noticing the observation, the pale-skinned, sinister man turned his head, his gaze eting the large dragon head clad in a white lab coat, his lips curving slightly upward.
In the last few days, Blackstone Razor had made quite a na for himself in the Sky Fighting Arena.
Whether this reputation was good or bad, at least most players who frequently visited the Dueling Field recognized him, and so Secret Societies had extended olive branches to him.
In Blackstone Razor's view, the Killing Ga was inherently a world of survival of the fittest, where the unfit were culled. If one could survive to the end and beco the strongest, people would naturally flock to and worship them. All the sins committed and evils perpetrated along the way would be deliberately overlooked, or even laundered into "necessary deeds on the path to becoming the strongest."
Blackstone Razor thought so, and acted accordingly.
As for why he maliciously tornted the weak in the Dueling Field—he needed to alleviate his ntal pressure in this manner, and tornting the weak also brought him benefits. His Title Skill, Evil Executioner, was designed so that the more people he tortured, the greater the attribute bonuses it granted him.
Blackstone Razor stared intently at the dragon-headed figure in the white lab coat. It seed that during a conversation with a companion, the other party had already learned his identity. Yet, they hadn't chosen to forfeit the match? Heh, I hope... this one lasts a bit longer...
Goosebumps rose on his arms and back from the thrilling excitent. Blackstone Razor licked his lips.
He handed a paper slip with his personal introduction to a mber of the Watcher's Society.
The latter, not wanting much interaction with this scumbag, silently took the paper, then turned and walked over to Li Ang. After verifying Li Ang's identity, he took his personal introduction slip as well.
"Hey, you really want to fight him?" Wanli Fengdao couldn't help but whisper a reminder. "You were indeed very strong in the Shengnan King's Dream, but that was by using tricks like drawing strength from myriad beings, right? Interaction between those on and off the stage isn't allowed here. This is only the first tier. Winning gives you only a tiny benefit, and there's no penalty for surrendering."
"Let's fight first and see."
Li Ang shrugged and, with a push off the ground, leaped onto the stage.
Blackstone Razor smirked coldly, the hem of his black robe fluttering as he floated lightly onto the stage.
He looked at the white lab-coated dragon head opposite him and said indifferently, "If you surrender now, you might still be saved. Do you understand what I an?"
"Oh."
Li Ang nodded and replied, "I understand. You an, 'If you surrender now, you might still be saved. Do you understand what I an?'"
This... was not the kind of understanding I expected.
Blackstone Razor opened his mouth, then hesitated.
Li Ang continued as if to himself, "I've heard you enjoy tornting weaker opponents in the Dueling Field, is that right? You could clearly win easily, but you deliberately suppress your strength, pretending to be on par with the rookies you face. You intentionally let them score, giving your opponents a glimr of hope so they won't surrender and quit the match. By doing so, you slowly torture your opponents—breaking their limbs, crushing their internal organs, mangling their faces until they're a bloody ss. And then, you finish them off with ease."
"So what?"
Blackstone Razor shook his head indifferently. "The weak deserve to be deceived, exploited, and tornted. They should be grateful that death doesn't occur on the Dueling Field's stage. I'm teaching them how to survive in the Killing Gas."
Li Ang smiled noncommittally. "Acting so brazenly, aren't you afraid soone will step up to teach you a lesson?"
"I've morized the nas and characteristics of most experts from large organizations," Blackstone Razor said indifferently. "If I encounter an expert, I'll naturally withdraw from the match. Besides, large organizations aren't so idle as to co to a Dueling Field where no one dies just to uphold justice. I'm rely making rational use of the rules."
With that, he no longer wished to converse with Li Ang. He raised his hand slightly, signaling to the Narrator that he was ready for the match to begin.
"Alright, everyone can see that both contestants are ready!" Narrator Spitzer Vegan spoke at a breakneck pace: "Contestant Number One is the familiar Blackstone Razor! He hails from Brazil, South Arica, is currently Level 17, and is a bounty hunter whose reputation precedes him. Assassination, intelligence gathering, ard assaults—no matter the task, as long as the paynt is sufficient, he'll get it done for you! His player ID is TH34***0980. Those interested in commissioning him can apply to add him as a friend using this ID."
"And our Contestant Number Two..."
Narrator Abdel, steeling himself, finished reading Li Ang's lengthy Dueling Field-specific na and quickly began reciting the personal introduction Li Ang had written:
"'Those who constantly claim that 'each generation of players is worse than the last' should look at you, just as I do.
I look at you, full of envy. The lting Furnace Shop has accumulated two days' worth of wealth—all the Unlicensed Magic Potions, Body Modifications, and Bizarre dical Skills are like gifts specially prepared for you, ready for your enjoynt.

Together with the manager of the Immaculate Furnace, advance towards the distant, unknown Starry Ocean! Forward!'"
For so reason, as Narrator Abdel read this personal introduction, which was full of cringeworthy points, he initially felt humiliated and awkward. However, toward the end, he found himself increasingly swept up by the passionate fervor of the text, filled with bold enthusiasm.
Standing on the stage, Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.
One of the Immaculate Furnace's primary target audiences is, indeed, rookie players new to the ga.
This positive and uplifting advertisent should be well-received by them.
