CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 460: CAN YOU HANDLE HIM BEING SO OUTSTANDING?

Su Mo and her companions had also been arranged to seats by the arena’s manager.

"Does Admiral Lu also place bets?"

Rong Bai shook his head for him, "Are there any more matches after this one?"

"There’s one more match, and then there are no more duels today."

"Put my name and Lu Chen’s up there."

"What does Admiral Lu mean?" The manager’s face instantly filled with eager anticipation.

Lu Chen nodded, "Hang it up."

"Alright then!"

Though the match on the arena hadn’t ended yet, two more names were added to a wooden sign standing below the arena, chalked in.

Noticing the names about to duel on the sign, the entire venue’s atmosphere heated up significantly; even the competitors on stage were perplexed by this.

News had spread from somewhere, and before long, the arena was packed with people—one a refugee camp leader, the other a Level 6 powerhouse from the same camp, inciting immense anticipation and excitement.

Leaning on her chin, Su Mo observed the group of energetic superpower users and said, "This is actually quite good; it’s nice to have such entertainment amid this oppressive atmosphere."

Everyone was tasting blood on the edge of the blade, but this kind of arena event could also sufficiently enhance their zest for life and foster friendships.

Lu Chen whispered close to her ear, "It’s my turn after one more match, do you want to bet?"

"Sure, but I am betting on Rong Bai to push him up a bit since definitely no one will bet on him," she stated, neither too loudly nor too softly, stabbing at Rong Bai’s heart once again.

"Actually, we are about even," he tried to defend from the side.

Soon, the soldier on the arena declared victory after his final punch knocked his opponent to the ground, he vigorously waved in their direction.

Rong Bai also raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up.

New competitors went up, and the adjacent Feng Yao seemed eager to move, prompting Su Mo to ask, "Feng Yao, why don’t you try going up too?"

Jianxiong, without hesitation, ridiculed him: "Like me, his build is too big, plus he’s a Level 6 superpower user. He did hang up a sign for a few days once, but no one dared to take it."

Su Mo smiled, nodding her head, and looked both up and down; indeed, as Power Element superpower users, their physiques were exceptionally imposing.

Before she could observe for a few seconds, her chin was pulled back by the jealous man beside her, who bit down hard on her ear and said breathlessly, "Look at me."

Shaken by the flirtation, Su Mo had just regained her composure when the duel above ended, and Lu Chen and Rong Bai stood up, took off their outer garments, and walked toward the arena.

For a moment, the screams almost lifted off the entire building’s roof.

Lin Yao, who was in a bad mood and walking outside, also entered the stadium and caught their sweet interaction.

Truth be told, she had a great liking for the powerfully capable and handsome Lu Chen, naturally harboring some resentment towards Su Mo, who appeared plain but pretty.

Her arrival made many instinctively make way, and the manager even cozily arranged a seat right next to Su Mo, since to outsiders, they looked like one team.

Seeing Lin Yao coming over, Su Mo still smiled nicely at her; however, since her attitude was somewhat cool, Su Mo didn’t mind and turned her head to summon the manager again, producing a High-level Crystal Stone in her hand, containing stones from at least Level 2 to Level 4, which seemed very valuable.

"Buy it all on Rong Bai," she said.

The manager’s eyes lit up at the sight of the high-level Crystal Stone, and he leaned into Su Mo’s ear to whisper quietly, "Miss Su, you might not know this, but I once followed Admiral Rong. He has never beaten Admiral Lu before; you’re definitely going to lose big this time."

Su Mo’s eyes curved into a smile, "No worries, I’ll bet on him anyway."

"Alright..."

As she expected, almost everyone placed their bets on Lu Chen. The plate in front of Rong Bai was pitifully empty of Crystal Stones until she added hers, making it look fully stocked.

Lin Yao, noticing how she had seemingly produced so many Crystal Stones out of nowhere, exclaimed in surprise, "You have Dual Abilities?! Didn’t you say you were only a Speed Element user?!"

With her dimples showing, Su Mo replied, "You never asked if I had Space as well."

Annoyed, Lin Yao looked her up and down again before lifting her head, "How about a fight with me?"

Su Mo glanced at the stage, which was already counting down, and both contenders were ready in their fighting stances. She shook her head, "You can’t beat me."

Her sincere words sounded particularly harsh to Lin Yao, "Hey, are you looking down on me? To be the core of this team, you at least need to earn my respect."

Helplessly, Su Mo turned her head, "Whatever you want, you have Healing, so you should be able to heal yourself."

"Of course," Lin Yao called the manager over to add their names as well, and after getting Su Mo’s consent, two more names were chalked onto the small wooden plaque.

Jianxiong couldn’t help but say, "Lin Yao, really, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. This girl is a student personally trained by the boss."

"I was also a Sanda champion," Lin Yao retorted, head held high in a defiant manner.

Su Mo didn’t mind and just kept her gaze firmly on the direction of the arena; the match had started.

She purposely closed the distance of her vision to observe the two of them.

Lu Chen stood tall with an expressionless face, while Rong Bai was full of eagerness to fight. Not wasting any time, Rong Bai rushed forward the moment Lu Chen didn’t make a move.

His fists tightly clenched, the strength evident by the whiteness of his knuckles. Rong Bai didn’t hold back at all, each punch creating a gust of wind, aimed specifically at Lu Chen’s vital spots.

Lu Chen maintained his calm demeanor, his movements to block or dodge were unexpectedly fast.

He easily dodged the incoming fist and in a fluid motion, his long fingers gripped Rong Bai’s arm while his leg swept towards his opponent’s knee.

The first round ended with Rong Bai face-planting into the ground.

Loud applause erupted within the arena, and the referee quickly scored the match 1:0.

Jianxiong shook his head to the side, "That old Bai is too slow."

Feng Yao commented from beside him, "You’d probably fall faster if you were up there."

Lu Chen helped Rong Bai up, patted his back, and said in a light tone, "You weren’t this weak before."

Using his help to stand, Rong Bai let go and said earnestly, "Let’s go again!"

In the second round, the crowd inside the venue had more than doubled, the large tent was bursting at the seams, and the admiring gazes of numerous female superpower users fell on them.

The two men on the stage, young and capable, powerful in their own right, were the focus of their attention besides their hunger.

Lin Yao’s gaze intensely followed Lu Chen, whose fair skin and composed appearance were clear to see. She also noted the admiration in the eyes of many around her and turned to Sue Mo with a scoff, "He’s such an exceptional person, can you really handle him? Look at those women; they are practically drooling."
