Huh? What do you mean your mother is one of the seven deadly sins?!

In the center of the arena was a circular fighting arena surrounded by huge obsidian blocks, covered with dark bloodstains and broken bones.

At this moment, a bloody battle is taking place in the arena.

A burly stone golem with skin covered in rock-like patterns roared as it pounded its massive fist into a relatively small but incredibly swift shadow golem.

Each time a fist landed, it caused the obsidian floor to tremble slightly.

The Shadow Demon weaved through the gargoyle's fists like a ghost, its sharp claws leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on the gargoyle's body, splattering dark green blood.

The gargoyle's furious roar and the shadow demon's chilling shriek intertwined.

The roars from the audience grew even more frenzied, with countless gamblers waving bone fragments or blood crystal chips and shouting their support for their chosen opponents.

The air was thick with an almost manic excitement and a naked desire to kill.

Lin Xia's gaze quickly swept across the stands, searching for Wang Wen's figure.

At the same time, one can feel the various desires churning in the air—fear, greed, bloodlust, excitement…

These auras, like invisible threads, were instinctively captured, absorbed, and transformed by the "Desire Chapter" technique within his body, turning into a warm current that nourished his power.

"It's so noisy here."

Helena slightly furrowed her delicate brows, unconsciously covering her ears with her small hands. Her pure blue eyes reflected the splattered blood and frenzied figures in the arena, carrying a hint of barely perceptible confusion and repulsion.

This scene, filled with filth and violence, was completely different from the succubus's royal court, yet it made her feel equally uncomfortable.

Lilith surveyed her surroundings with interest, her blood-red eyes sweeping over the crazed gamblers and the carnage in the arena, a familiar smile playing on her lips.

Her heart-shaped tail gently touched Lin Xia's back.

"Little Xia, where are your friends? If you're any later, the next performance will start soon."

She pointed to a huge iron cage at the edge of the arena, where several huddled and trembling figures could be vaguely seen. Among them, a young man dressed in modern clothes with a face as pale as paper stood out.

Lin Xia's eyes sharpened, and she locked onto the target instantly!

It was Wang Wen!

He was squeezed at the edge of the stands, guarded by two tall lesser demons, staring at the entrance of the iron cage with a look of despair, his body trembling like a leaf in the wind.

"Found it!"

Lin Xia gave a low shout and immediately tried to squeeze in that direction.

"etc!"

Lilith grabbed his arm, a sly glint in her bloodshot eyes.

"Don't rush, little Xia. Rushing in to save them will make too much noise and be pointless. Besides, that doesn't follow the rules of training."

Lilith pointed to the center of the arena.

"Look, this match is almost over. That Shadow Fiend is about to collapse."

Sure enough, although the Shadow Demon in the arena was agile, the Stone Golem's defense was astonishing, and the damage caused by its claws seemed to be non-lethal.

Seizing an opportunity, the stone demon unleashed its massive fist, accompanied by the whooshing sound of air being cut through, and slammed it into the shadow demon, who was unable to dodge in time!

puff!

The Shadow Fiend's body was almost completely smashed. He let out a short, extremely shrill scream and flew out like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the obsidian wall and falling silent.

"Awooo—!!!"

The gargoyle raised its fists high and let out a triumphant roar that shook the entire arena.

An even more frenzied cheering and cursing erupted from the stands.

A hoarse voice rang out over the arena through some kind of loudspeaker.

"Roar—! Victorious! Rock Crusher Groom! Next up, fresh bloodshed!"

"Fragile souls from another world, let's see how long they can withstand Lord Groom's fists! Place your bets!"

With that sound, the iron cage door was flung open!

Several lesser demons grinned maliciously and roughly shoved out several pale-faced humans, including Wang Wen!

He stumbled and nearly fell, staring in despair at the blood-soaked, mountain-like stone statue in the center of the arena, his legs trembling so badly he could barely stand.

"Wang Wen!"

Lin Xia's eyes were icy as she watched her compatriots being pushed into the death arena, a surge of anger rising in her chest.

Without further hesitation, Lin Xia shoved aside a cave demon blocking her way and strode towards the edge of the arena, in the direction where Wang Wen had been pushed out.

He forcefully pushed through the crowd, sparking a commotion and a chorus of angry curses.

"Tsk, young people just can't keep their composure."

Lilith shrugged helplessly and easily followed, pulling the curiously looking Helena along.

Helena's pure blue eyes were fixed on Wang Wen, who appeared incredibly small as he was pushed into the arena, and then she glanced at Lin Xia, who was striding forward, and her small hands quietly clenched.

Ignoring the surrounding noise and angry stares, Lin Xia rushed to the fence at the edge of the arena in a few big strides.

At this moment, Wang Wen and several other unlucky guys had been pushed to the center of the field, facing the stone statue Mogrum, who had just won and was now eyeing his new toy with bloodthirsty eyes.

The shadow of death loomed over them.

"Groom! Tear them apart!"

"Charge! Don't let them get away!"

The roar from the stands reached its peak.

Groom grinned maliciously, taking heavy strides as he crushed the trembling humans like a tank. His massive fist, carrying the shadow of death, was raised high, aimed directly at Wang Wen at the front!

Wang Wen closed his eyes in fear, awaiting the end.

At this critical moment!

"Hey! Big guy!"

A clear, defiant voice pierced through the deafening roar and resounded distinctly over the arena.

Grum paused abruptly, his massive head turning in confusion toward the source of the sound—the fence at the edge of the arena.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

A black-haired youth, supporting himself with one hand on the nearly three-meter-high obsidian railing, easily leaped and landed steadily in the arena like a nimble cheetah!

The dust that rose up settled at his feet.

Lin Xia straightened up, ignoring the countless gazes around him that were filled with surprise, doubt, or mockery. He looked directly at the stone statue, Magrum, who was much taller than him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"Your opponent is me."

The next moment, the entire arena erupted in deafening laughter!

"Hahaha! Where did this madman come from?"

"A Blood Eater Challenger Groom? Am I seeing things?"

"Want to die sooner? Hahaha!"

"Groom! Smash him into mincemeat! I'll take care of him in three seconds!"

On the stands, the abyss dwellers of various forms laughed so hard they bent over. The Balrog slapped his thighs, sending sparks flying, the hunched-over cave demon trembled with laughter, and the inferior demon let out a piercing shriek.

Even the two demon guards escorting Wang Wen grinned, their mouths full of sharp teeth, and pointed at Lin Xia, laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

The massive body of the stone demon Grum trembled slightly, and a hideous, mocking smile appeared on its rock-like face.

It seemed to find the arrogant remarks of this tiny human ridiculously absurd, and emitted a low, muffled "ho ho" sound from its throat.

The enormous fist hovered in mid-air, temporarily letting go of Wang Wen who was right in front of it, and turned to Lin Xia with great interest, as if looking at an ant trying to provoke a giant elephant.

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Wen felt as if he were a drowning man grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood!

Wang Wen looked in the direction of the sound, and upon seeing Lin Xia, his fear was instantly overwhelmed by immense joy and disbelief!

"Wow, this is amazing!!"

Wang Wen's voice, tinged with sobs, was sharp and bright, unusually clear amidst the laughter, filled with the excitement of surviving a disaster.

"Brother Lin! Help me! It really is you!!"
