Alone and Infinite

An excited smile spread across the man's face, and his teammates in the stands couldn't help but shudder.

They whispered among themselves, "It's over, the bleeding has started again."

"Did he have some kind of unhappy childhood? Why does he always like to torture and kill?"

"Never mind that, as long as they don't kill us."

They couldn't understand how someone could deliberately suffer a series of defeats, dropping from over two thousand to over twenty thousand, just to enjoy the thrill of crushing their opponent.

Bloodflow raised his right hand, a black glove tightly wrapped around his hand, fitting perfectly, with a large, gleaming gem embedded in the back of his hand.

As he moved, the gem suddenly lit up.

The air currents vibrated, and several wind blades quickly condensed and shot towards the black charcoal.

At this moment, he was filled with a violent excitement. The Elucat with the Mangekyou Sharingan?

I really want to gouge those eyes out and play with them.

Unfortunately, this is just an arena; you can't actually kill your opponent, and you can't hear their dying screams.

That beautiful cry was simply the most beautiful music!

The Sharingan twitched slightly, and Kurotan's ears tilted back. Those seemingly insignificant wind blades actually gave it a great sense of threat.

"Meow!"

The kitten swiftly reached out its paw and cradled the egg and the yelp in front of it.

"Clang clang clang!"

With a few crisp sounds, the wind blades struck the dragon egg, like a gentle breeze blowing across a mountain peak.

Aside from the enormous impact that sent the kitten flying backward several meters, there wasn't even a trace left.

Awoo: "?"

Not buddy——

Before it could speak, another wind blade shot towards it from the opposite side.

"Damn it!" Awoo shrank its head. This wind blade couldn't break the egg, but it could definitely break its defense.

A cloud quickly condensed in the sky and soon became a thick, dark cloud.

The rain poured down, which was the limit of what Aowu could do at the moment. If there was no water, then they would make their own.

The raindrops elongated their shape the moment they fell, transforming into tiny, hair-like water needles that, under the control of the howling, plunged towards the flow of blood.

Black Charcoal clapped its paws together, preparing to activate Susanoo. In that brief moment, it and Awoo had already reached a tacit understanding.

The opponent was clearly a mage. He used Susanoo to throw the dragon egg at them rapidly, using the dragon egg's super defense to harass them. Meanwhile, Kurotan took the opportunity to charge into melee combat.

The white phantom had just appeared when Kuroko suddenly screamed in agony as a powerful explosion erupted inside Susanoo.

Suddenly struck by a severe blow, blood flowed from Kurotan's eyes, making it almost impossible for him to maintain the form of Susanoo.

The kitten barely managed to steady itself, its body trembling as it continued to circulate its chakra.

The water surged in, enveloping Susanoo. The water swirled violently, making a 'swish swish swish' sound. This was a defense that Awoo had added in desperation, which could at least deflect some of the attack.

Implosion?

Li Xia, who had been sitting in the back, narrowed his eyes slightly. Hei Tan and Ao Wu hadn't noticed, but he had.

The wind blades that shattered upon hitting the dragon egg did not completely dissipate; instead, they continued to fly along the surface of the egg, bypassing the black charcoal and reforming behind it.

These wind blades are essentially highly compressed air mixed with magic. Once condensed into air masses, they are virtually indistinguishable when stationary.

The wisp of air remained still until Kurozumi began summoning Susanoo, at which point it suddenly exploded, delivering a heavy blow to Kurozumi from within.

Master!

This is definitely a master; he has mastered wind magic to an art form, and his finesse and control are incredibly strong.

This ranking doesn't even seem to match the number 20,000+. Li Xia is certain that even if the other person doesn't know anything, with this exquisite magical manipulation and power, they are at least in the top 10,000.

It could very well be even higher.

Li Xia sat up straight; he was now a little curious.

"Oh!"

With blood streaming down his face, he spread his fingers and stretched them behind him. Powerful air burst forth from his palms, like two jet engines, and the powerful reaction force propelled his body forward rapidly.

The air seemed to come alive, and with a spirituality, it avoided him, so much so that clearly visible ripples appeared in the air in front of the blood.

In an instant, the blood flow appeared in front of Aowu with unbelievable speed.

He suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, his seemingly refined face twisted into a ferocious grimace, and his right hand, gloved with black, slammed down on Susanoo.

"32 air strikes!"

Under Li Xia's watchful gaze, a series of fine blasts rang out from beneath his bleeding palm. The first blast was very small, like a firecracker going off.

However, the vibrating airflow rolled back in a peculiar trajectory, amplifying the power of the second explosion.

This continued for more than twenty times in a mere fraction of a second.

By the end, the power of the shockwave had accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.

"boom!"

The massive airflow directly tore open the water curtain that was enveloping Susanoo. Even Susanoo, which already had a pretty good defensive capability in the third tier, could not resist such terrifying power.

"Kala Kala"

Fine cracks quickly spread across Susanoo's entire body. Kurotan's body swayed twice, and bloody tears began to stream from his eyes.

Li Xia shook his head and summoned the control panel. He must have encountered a fish-frying operation, if he remembered correctly.

The opponent's 32 air attacks only hit 31 times, and the final, most powerful 32x multiplier attack hasn't even been unleashed yet.

If you encounter someone using explosives to fish, you can only say it's bad luck. If you lose, you lose. At least you've gained practical experience.

The purpose of coming to the arena this time is to train Aowu and Heitan; winning or losing doesn't matter.

Just as he was about to press it, a huge explosion was heard, and Susanoo instantly exploded into countless white specks of light.

The final blow was quite powerful. Li Xia casually selected the forfeit button, and just as he was about to press it, his finger suddenly stopped moving.

He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.

Blood Flow grabbed Black Charcoal by the neck with one hand, lifting him high. His golden hair was neatly combed back, and his fair face even looked somewhat kind.

Only those eyes, filled with mockery and cruelty, tilted their heads and looked in his direction.

"It's just a trashy Palico, you don't mind if I play with it for a while, right?"

The expression on Li Xia's face gradually disappeared, and a hint of coldness slowly crept into his eyes.

"Rubbish?"

"Looking at me with that expression... I'm so scared!"

Blood streamed down his face, and the hand tightened its grip, causing the already unconscious charcoal-covered man to twitch slightly.

"Don't you dare surrender! If you surrender before I've had my fun, I'll chase you all the way to the alternate world."

Bloodflow's expression suddenly turned cold, and he softly uttered a few words:

"Kill you!"

The air rushed into Heitan's nostrils and mouth, and as he spoke, his bleeding left hand touched Heitan's face.

When the final words "I'll kill you" were uttered, two fingers, like hooks, were about to gouge out Hei Tan's eyes.

"Stab!"

A bolt of lightning instantly shot towards the flow of blood.

Bloodflow's pupils contracted, and he immediately released Black Charcoal, flipping his palm to unleash an air blast.

"Crack!"

A sharp pain shot through his palm, and blood flowed freely. To his astonishment, he discovered that Li Xia, who had been dozens of meters away just moments before, was now standing right in front of him.

And he firmly clamped his right hand, bending it into a strange angle as if breaking a tree branch.

Large beads of cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead, and as he endured the excruciating pain, he roared.

A huge gust of air gushed out of his mouth, causing the air to fluctuate violently.

Unexpectedly, Li Xia didn't even try to avoid it, letting the powerful sound waves crash towards him.

Fine, ruby-like illusory dragon scales emerged from the dragon's body, and these scales trembled along with the sound waves.

It produced a clear, melodious sound, the kind that only occurs when jade stones collide.

The tinkling sounds were exceptionally pleasant.

Li Xia's pupils were fixed on the flow of blood. His left fist was like a cannonball, and his muscles bulged, transmitting tremendous power through his waist and abdomen.

He slammed his fist into the bleeding chest, and as he threw the punch, a sound like the low growl of a tiger or leopard came from inside his body.

Even amidst the sonic vibrations and the cacophony of dragon scales, it was clearly audible.

What... what is that sound?

His bloodied face flashed with unprecedented solemnity. He roared again, and the huge gem on his right glove suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The air quickly condensed, forming a thick, transparent shield in front of his body.

The air, though invisible and intangible, refracts an exceptionally beautiful rainbow under the sunlight.

Magic Shield - Air Prism!

This is Bloodflow's most powerful defensive skill. It can easily block both physical and magical attacks and has never let Bloodflow down.

"Boom!"

A tremendous impact rang out from the fist, and the shockwave spread outwards in visible circles.

The bloodshot pupils were accompanied by the massive shock of the punch. Damn, this is definitely not a summoner!

Li Xia threw a second punch without expression. He had many ways to break through the air barrier, but he was more worried that Xue Liu would surrender immediately.

In close-quarters combat, nothing is faster than a punch!

So he had to be fast, fast enough that the blood wouldn't have time to surrender!

"Thump!" "Thump thump!" "Thump thump thump!"

The punches came faster and faster, causing the proud air prism to sag in a strange way as blood flowed.

The enormous recoil force was transmitted even through the air.

Xue Liu felt as if his internal organs were trembling. He opened his mouth, but couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Crimson blood sprayed onto the air prism, making the bent and deformed air shield even more noticeable.

A flicker of fear crossed his face, and he opened his mouth: "Stop—I..."

"boom!"

The air shield shattered, turning into powerful air currents that scattered in all directions. The air currents brushed against Li Xia's hair, making the strands flutter as if in a gale.

But he still threw a punch without stopping.

This time, his left fist struck the bleeding chest without hesitation.

"Boom!"

A dull thud rang out, an invisible force pierced through the body, and the clothes on the back, bleeding profusely, bulged and ripped open.

A fist mark was clearly visible on the exposed skin.

The force of the punch reversed the flow of blood, and his vision went black before he could react.

Another punch landed on his chest.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

The left fist pounded relentlessly, the fist shadows flashing wildly, and the fabric of clothing flying everywhere. Even the enhanced organs could not withstand such heavy blows.

Li Xia had long since released his right hand, and his fists moved like dragons, demonstrating his incredibly precise control over his strength.

Even without any support from the blood flow, under the force of the punch, it remained like a stagnant wooden stake, completely standing up.
