176: The battle in the arena begins

“I’m very sorry, I might not be able to hide you for much longer.”

Mumen Se spoke with an apologetic tone.

“How long can you hide me?”

“Three days.”

“That’s enough.”

Shui Yuqianxi took out her Summoner, and the Mermaid F and Rainstorm E floated out. Holding the two natural cards, she sat cross-legged on the ground.

Mian Yu Technique E (Third Layer) Proficiency: 866/5000

She wanted to reach the highest, fourth layer of the Mian Yu Technique.

She was still far from a desperate situation!

Perhaps it was after experiencing the desperate situation of being trapped by the two Mu Men, Shui Yuqianxi now felt that.

Every second she lived now was a gain.

If she still had a chance to resist, it would be a huge gain.

She didn't regret becoming the Third Generation Sea Spirit of the armor Summoner.

If she hadn't been mentally prepared, how could she have transformed again and again to fight monsters?

“If I die.”

“I hope you can use your spatial ability to transfer the Summoner away.”

Her own corpse didn't matter.

But the Summoner must not be lost.

“…Mm.”

…

Mu Men Hui Ye was currently sitting on the seat of the high platform where the arena first began.

Mu Men Jin Mu was standing behind his armchair, her hands wrapped around Mu Men Hui Ye’s neck from behind, her fingers resting on Mu Men Hui Ye’s chest.

A pair of golden eyes shimmered with golden light in the darkness behind the armchair, constantly roving.

Seemingly searching for something.

“Don't worry, Jin Mu.”

Mu Men Hui Ye smiled, reaching out and resting his hand on Mu Men Jin Mu’s hand, stroking Mu Men Jin Mu’s fingers.

“She can't escape now. Under this Red Moon, she will eventually have nowhere to hide, exposed under the moonlight.”

“The previous incident was just a small interlude.”

Mu Men Jin Mu didn't speak, only pressed one hand on Mu Men Hui Ye’s left chest, feeling the heartbeat.

“I’m not angry anymore.”

“After all, a dog raised since childhood, always incredibly docile, suddenly bites its owner.”

“I was truly too angry before.”

Mu Men Hui Ye gently grasped Mu Men Jin Mu’s hand resting on his chest, lifted it, and placed it beside his face.

Mu Men Jin Mu then began to stroke Mu Men Hui Ye’s cheek.

But her eyes still didn't stop, continuing to scan the entire Red Moon World, continuing her search.

“But, after all, that was a dog I raised.”

“To make me so angry, I hope her subsequent cries can calm my heart.”

Mu Men Hui Ye had already decided to separate every organ of that wretched girl.

To make her fully feel pain in every organ.

Anyway, in this world, she couldn't truly die.

He hoped she could become a toy then, emitting joyful wails.

Mu Men Jin Mu, from behind the armchair, hugged Mu Men Hui Ye even tighter.

“I’m not angry anymore.”

“I was just thinking about some pleasant things, no need to worry…”

“Jin Mu.”

…

With the enhancement of two natural cards, coupled with Shui Yuqianxi's full effort in cultivating the Mian Yu Technique.

The proficiency of the Mian Yu Technique was also rapidly increasing.

For these three days, except for rest and eating, she basically spent all her time on the Mian Yu Technique.

And Mumen Se, gritting her teeth, silently hid Shui Yuqianxi's tracks.

As time passed, this pain became increasingly intense.

Although Shui Yuqianxi had not yet raised the Mian Yu Technique to the fourth layer.

Although Mumen Se didn't speak.

Shui Yuqianxi also knew she had reached her limit.

“Stop, I’m ready.”

“I can still hold on…”

“It’s enough.”

“…Alright then.”

“Remember my previous instructions.”

“Mm.”

Shui Yuqianxi reappeared at the entrance of the arena.

On the seat of the high platform in the arena, Mu Men Jin Mu’s gaze instantly locked onto Shui Yuqianxi, who was outside the venue.

Although Mu Men Hui Ye didn't see her, he could feel the tremor in Mu Men Jin Mu’s arm embracing his neck.

“Finally couldn't hold on?”

“I’ve already seen your death.”

Mu Men Hui Ye rose from his seat.

And Shui Yuqianxi had already felt Mu Men Jin Mu’s gaze, and the oppressive feeling from the two Mu Men that enveloped the entire arena.

But she still stepped through the arena’s main gate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, the eyes of countless monsters throughout the arena turned towards Shui Yuqianxi.

The noisy venue became incredibly quiet in an instant, so quiet it could almost be called eerie.

Shui Yuqianxi raised her head, looking directly at the two Mu Men on the high platform.

Mu Men Jin Mu seemed to realize what Shui Yuqianxi was going to do, and prepared to act simultaneously with Mu Men Hui Ye.

Clang!

But Shui Yuqianxi, who had already prepared, took a step forward, extended her finger, and pointed upwards from below, distantly at the two Mu Men.

“Third Generation Sea Spirit, in the name of the Red Moon!”

“I issue a challenge in this arena!”

Her eyes showed no fear.

Even facing the oppressive feeling from the two Mu Men’s internal organs, she didn't flinch in the slightest.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

In an instant, the entire silent venue became noisy!

Countless monster-humans shouted, excited!

Human!

This human challenged a monster!

Although the Red Moon World was created by the two Mu Men, even they could not violate the rules here.

Just like the tens of thousands of monster-humans here.

A very small portion of them were human.

And the vast majority were embodiments of the rules in the Red Moon World.

At this moment, the rules in the Red Moon World were excited, shouting.

Even the two Mu Men could not violate them.

“…Excellent!”

“Let’s welcome this challenger!”

“She will become a glorious warrior of the arena under the gaze of the Red Moon!”

“Her outcome will either be victory!”

“Or she will become that touch of red that stains the Red Moon!”

Mu Men Hui Ye walked to the railing at the edge of the viewing stand, introducing Shui Yuqianxi, the challenger.

And Shui Yuqianxi took a step, walking towards the center of the arena!

In an instant, the monster-humans in front of her neatly split to both sides!

Cheering with raised hands on one side, and watching Shui Yuqianxi walk towards the duel stage on the other!

Until Shui Yuqianxi reached the bottom of the duel stage and ascended the stairs onto it.

Above the duel stage, the retro-looking display screen, encircled by a neon light, also lit up.

One side red, one side blue.

The red side was Monster – 016!

The blue side was Third Generation Sea Spirit – 999!

After their names, there were their respective rankings.

Swish!

The iron railing on the other side of the duel stage rose!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A three-meter-tall black bear, covered in stiff fur, wearing thick steel armor, with a ferocious face and bared fangs, charged out!

He held a spiked mace, roaring furiously, striking the hard ground!

Shui Yuqianxi drew out the Sea Spirit’s Weapon E with her right hand, transforming it into a thick baseball bat.

With a wave of her left hand, the Sea Spirit Record unfolded at her fingertips.

The battle began!
