No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"Oh, is that so? But like you said, if he's just saying it, I don't think he'll take it seriously, right?"

hateful...

It's the same trick, but there's absolutely no way to counter it.

So, the Hiroshima heatwave turned its gaze to Jiang Shu.

"So, I'm not wrong to use him as my stepping stone, am I?"

"Although it's disrespectful of you to say that, that's exactly what you mean." Sugar Knight nodded with a smile.

Jiang Shu scratched his face: "Then what right do you have to say he's disrespectful?"

But Hiroshima Atsura completely ignored him and continued to ask, "How can I guarantee that the secret weapon I prepared specifically for Sachima will still be effective against this guy?"

"Don't worry," the Sugar Knight assured him. "If you win, I'll call him over to accept your challenge immediately, and your secret weapon won't be revealed in the meantime."

"Really..."

Hiroshima Heatwave then nodded:

"Then it seems I have no other choice."

After saying that, he turned around, put his hands on his hips, and looked up at Jiang Shu: "Kid, didn't you want to be tortured? I'll show you the true cruelty of hell. Time to play house is over!"

"..."

Jiang Shu also wanted to say something.

However, seeing the other party doing such ridiculous things with a straight face, saying such awkward lines that even Jiang Shu himself wouldn't say, it was already difficult to keep a straight face.

But he did not underestimate the other party because of this.

He also gleaned from the conversation that Sugar Knight had deliberately arranged that Hiroshima Heatwave was a strong contender for a top ten spot and the strongest evolver below the top ten.

While testing the heatwave in Hiroshima, Sugar Knight also wants to test himself.

His meaning is very clear: only after the Hiroshima heatwave has passed can we talk about challenging for the top ten and prove that we are not wasting time with a fool who talks big.

"So, is there anything you want to say to him?" Sugar Knight laughed. "Make a tough statement to show everyone your determination. It's okay to go a little overboard; it's part of our tradition."

Jiang Shu, who had completely calmed down by now, pondered for a moment and asked, "Are your parents close relatives?"

A moment of silence fell over the crowd.

Then a commotion erupted.

"I didn't ask you to make a personal attack!" Sugar Knight roared.

"Didn't you say it was okay to go a little too far?"

"But this is going too far!"

"Sorry, I thought it was going to be like a rap competition, where you have to pick on people's sore spots because he really does look like a rapper."

"Then why don't you say a few more lines to rhyme? Just one sentence, what's the difference between that and pure insults?"

"Shut up!" Hiroshima Heatwave, finally unable to contain himself, trembled with anger: "I hate it when people talk about my height!"

"Oh, I didn't mention my height."

"You bastard!" A few tears welled up in Hiroshima's eyes. "I'll definitely kill you, I will!"

Watching the two enter the hatchery amidst the crowd, Snow Queen finally dared to speak timidly: "I think... everything should be alright, right?"

“Although provoking the other party might backfire, I think it should be fine. Even if it is injured or even dies, it will recover after leaving the hatchery,” Bo Ya replied.

"No, I mean, he was inexplicably insulted by that person. Isn't he upset?"

"What's so strange about this?!"

......

A desolate wasteland.

It is no exaggeration to describe what Jiang Shu saw as utterly desolate.

When Jiang Shu opened his eyes, he found himself standing on the edge of a huge semi-circular arena, which he estimated to be about one kilometer in diameter.

Looking down, there were thick, white clouds.

This arena is suspended in mid-air.

Without support or connected land, it just floats there all alone.

Although there were no special warnings or signs, Jiang Shu knew that if he fell from here, there would be no chance of survival.

In other words, the arena beneath your feet contains everything from this incubation world.

On the other side of the stadium, at the other edge, Hiroshima Heatwave stood quietly.

However, judging from the scorching and distorted air around him, his inner world is probably not as calm as he appears.

"Welcome to the Arena of the Gods."

A majestic voice came from above.

Jiang Shu suddenly looked up: "Is it the Heavenly Judge?"

Then he saw something.

"Oh, it's a broadcast..."

"No, I am the judge, but..."

The majestic voice paused for a moment:

"I will not make any judgments, because there are no rules in the Arena of the Gods. The only thing you have to do is defeat your opponent to the death!"

The next moment, Jiang Shu felt a lightness all over his body.

All her clothes had disappeared, replaced by a simple pair of coarse cloth shorts that could cover her private parts.

It does fit the ancient ruins theme of the arena quite well.

However, it does make one wonder whether this is the Arena of Gods or the Arena of Slaves.

Just as Jiang Shu was looking down to check if there was anything special about the shorts, such as their indestructibility, the heatwave in Hiroshima began to approach rapidly.

Although he was very short, his movements were incredibly fast.

He was enveloped in flames, like a scorching meteor, seemingly hurtling towards him, but a closer look would reveal that he was actually flying close to the ground.

By the time Jiang Shu came to his senses, the Hiroshima heatwave was already upon him.

"Ho!"

A whip kick, carrying flames capable of melting steel, swept straight toward Jiang Shu's head.

Fortunately, Jiang Shu reacted quickly and blocked the sudden heat wave from Hiroshima with his elbow at the last second.

The powerful blow caused Jiang Shu to lose his balance, and he had to take two steps back to regain his footing.

Is it the type with both strength and speed of A...? Fortunately, its strength doesn't exceed my physical strength by too much, so it can't cause me any effective damage for the time being.

only...

Jiang Shu looked at the elbow used to block the attack with some surprise.

The skin there was now charred black and was throbbing with a dull, stabbing pain.

"You didn't carbonize directly? Looks like your physical strength is pretty good."

Outside the incubator, a crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"He actually used his spiritual root characteristics right away. Looks like that guy is really angry."

"However, he actually managed to block it, and even in a hasty response, he only took a few steps back. It seems that we really underestimated him."

Bo Ya frowned: "He was too careless. It seems he is still unfamiliar with battles between evolved beings. If he can't adapt quickly, he will suffer."

The situation unfolded exactly as Bo Ya had predicted.

Battles between evolved beings are not like turn-based battles in games, nor are they like battles in hatcheries where you can use various mechanisms to your advantage; they are simply real, hard-fought clashes.

The heatwave in Hiroshima failed to break through, so it was immediately followed by a fierce and relentless attack.

Although Jiang Shu could barely cope with the attacks, which barely touched his vitals, the magical damage attached to the attacks still gave him a headache.

Even a slight touch can cause burns, and may even cause local pain and numbness, which greatly affects Jiang Shu's mobility.

Finally, at a certain moment.

It's now!

Taking advantage of Jiang Shu's slight hesitation, Hiroshima Heatwave punched Jiang Shu in the face once more before disappearing from Jiang Shu's sight.

All I could see was a ball of fire obscuring my vision, and by the time I realized what was happening, my opponent had vanished.

Moreover, it not only disappeared from sight, but the entire surrounding area also failed to detect the presence of that blazing flame.

Jiang Shu was taken aback.

Almost simultaneously.

boom!

The meteor transformed into a meteorite and fell from the sky.

The sweltering heat of Hiroshima pounded heavily on Jiang Shu's body, and the sound of bones cracking was crystal clear.

"You succeeded?"

The heatwave in Hiroshima was a mix of smug satisfaction and disappointment.

But then he suddenly realized something.

Bang!

Jiang Shu, who was clearly hit by him, somehow appeared ten meters away.

How can it be? !

The feedback from the fist when it hits, and that shattering sound...

Hiroshima Reiran felt a chill run down his spine, but still gave Jiang Shu a dismissive look: "You do have some skills."

Jiang Shu was also surprised at this moment.

I thought it was only fast, but it can actually fly?

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and summoned the scissor puppet to block the blow for me, I might have been in real danger if I had taken the hit.

Jiang Shu was somewhat frightened, but equally unwilling to back down.

"You're not bad either."

"Hmph." Hiroshima Atsura showed a look of disgust again upon hearing this: "Don't be so smug, it was just a test."

"Yes, I know." Jiang Shu nodded and cracked her knuckles. "It's the same for me. I won't give them another chance."

Chapter 301 The Eruption of Mount Fuji

Hiroshima Heatwave, of course, didn't take Jiang Shu's bold words to heart.

After all, just a second ago he was frantically suppressing Jiang Shu, making it impossible for him to switch sides and even barely manage to parry, but the next second he suddenly said that he was not going to test him anymore, which was quite humorous.

The premise of testing is to avoid getting hurt yourself. I've never heard of anyone testing and then losing half of their own health. It's not like you have to use the Seven Injury Fist to hurt yourself before you can hurt the enemy.

Therefore, in Hiroshima's view, this was not a test at all, but simply stubbornness.

He didn't bother to expose him, and with a cold laugh, he attacked again.

This time, however, he used more than just physical skills.

If his previous attacks were merely like enchanting his fists and feet with flames, then this time, he was showing Jiang Shu where the fire actually came from—

As the Hiroshima heatwave streaked across the sky at near-meteor speed, an orange-yellow spatial rift was torn open, from which crimson, viscous magma overflowed and spread rapidly toward Jiang Shu.

"This is the signature move of the Hiroshima heatwave: the eruption of Mount Fuji!"

"He wasn't joking after all; he came out serious right away."

Outsiders were buzzing with discussion, while Jiang Shu, inside the arena, faced immense pressure.

"No matter how strong your body is, as long as you come into contact with this magma, you will be instantly evaporated and burned to ashes." Enveloped in flames like armor, the Hiroshima heatwave looked down from above, like a god of fire.

Magic attack...
