Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 721: Chapter 338: Crushing and Mutation

Zhao Xiao’s shout undoubtedly attracted the attention of many Spiritual Ability Users within the hostel.

One must know that this place is Lava Mine City. It was specially constructed to accommodate officials from various Giant Cities and Spiritual Ability Families.

These days, as teams from Giant Cities and Spiritual Ability Families arrived one after another.

The density of Spiritual Ability Users here was extremely high, it was a situation where throwing a brick randomly could hit a Spiritual Ability User.

And Zhao Xiao, being a Five Senses Spiritual Ability User, could be heard by Spiritual Ability Users kilometers away when he shouted in the Void Realm.

Challenge the Champion Agent?

How could they remain indifferent to such an interesting event?

Thus, within a minute of Zhao Xiao’s shout, a large crowd had gathered.

The officials of various Giant Cities were already in a meeting and needless to say, now even the members of the large families of Spiritual Ability Users came to join the excitement.

Ma Family, Hong Family, Jing Family, Mo Family… and other families all sent people over.

In no time, the area in front of the conference site was packed with people. Li Yelai, who was being challenged, and the challenger Zhao Xiao, instantly became the center of attention.

Turning what should have been a private sparring match into a public challenge to the Champion Agent attracted countless eyes.

Many people wanted to know the true strength of the Champion Agent.

And this was the strategy Ye Han had devised for Zhao Xiao.

“Lord Ye, as the Champion Agent and known as invincible among his peers, naturally has his pride and would not easily accept someone else’s challenge.”

“So, if you really want to test his strength, we must play some tricks.”

“In public, if you shout out a challenge and specify that it’s for the Champion Agent, he won’t be able to refuse.”

“Otherwise, rumors of the Champion Team One retreating from a fight or being cowardly will spread.”

“For Lord Ye, who has just become the team captain, this is intolerable.”

“He will undoubtedly defend his honor, thus accepting your challenge.”

“Of course, this might also cause him to perceive you in a certain light, considering it a setup…”

“If you want to go, I can help you suppress the curse.”

Now, seeing that Li Yelai had accepted the challenge, Zhao Xiao was overjoyed: “Just as Brother Ye Han said! Lord Ye has accepted it!”

Especially when Li Yelai took out the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Spear from the Spiritual Power Well, the terrifying aura it radiated.

It changed the expressions of the crowd, their sharp combat intentions surged like a tsunami

Making his body tremble slightly, feeling an unprecedented excitement.

Zhao siblings, not being direct descendants of the Family Head, were often bullied. His initial involvement in combat was to protect his younger sister, and to chase away those family members who bullied her.

After the fights, he immensely enjoyed the thrill that came from battling opponents.

Blocking the enemy’s attacks, delivering powerful counterattacks, dismantling the enemy’s moves, finding their weaknesses…

However, fate played a cruel joke on him; after becoming a Spiritual Ability User, his furious curse would trigger during combat. Endless anger would fill his spirit, similar to the curse of the Sword Mad Tyrant but the Tyrant could channel his fury into strikes against the enemy without accidentally harming allies.

Zhao Xiao, however, lacked such self-control and was easily influenced by the curse.

During one family training session, under the influence of rage, he nearly killed his sparring partner.

Since then, both the Giant City and his family had suggested that he step back from the front line, to become either a logistics team member or a clerk.

Not being able to fight was too painful for Zhao Xiao.

Until he met Ye Han, someone who could suppress the curse for him.

As long as Ye Han was by his side, he could fight without reservations, not worrying about being affected by the curse.

This was also why he traveled thousands of miles with his sister to find Ye Han after receiving his invitation.

Now, with Ye Han considering so much for him and promising to help suppress the curse, he could not waste this opportunity. He had to give his best in a fight with the Champion Agent!

He couldn’t let down his good brother’s painstaking efforts!

In the crowd, Ye Han also showed a smile. Indeed, it was the right decision to bring Zhao Xiao here while Zhao Lin was delayed.

“Come on, Lord Ye, let me see just how many faces you have?” Ye Han thought to himself.

His goal was to use Zhao Xiao to probe Li Yelai’s bottom line.

So that he could make some targeted moves in the Immortal Palace.

Zhao Xiao was strong, but certainly not Li Yelai’s match. This was indisputable and Ye Han was well aware.

But… in certain special cases, it might be hard for Li Yelai to hold back.

While the rest of…

the people displayed various expressions.

The officials from No. 3 Border City looked somewhat displeased, thinking Zhao Xiao was too impolite.

It was making it publicly known, clearly forcing the Champion Agent!

Other Giant City officials, curious, as they were also uncertain about Li Yelai’s strength, took the opportunity to witness it.

Whereas on the side of the Spiritual Ability Families, it was naturally a scene of watching an exciting show. They had heard of Li Yelai’s invincibility among his peers, yet still watched with scrutiny.

Of course, those families who had seen Li Yelai defeat Jing Jing with one move were shaking their heads in resignation. They knew just how fearsome Li Yelai was! Zhao Xiao shouldn’t have so arrogantly initiated the challenge.

And on the edge of the square, several large family teams encountered each other. They were all ‘locals’ or rather, belonged to the same Giant City Circle of Spiritual Ability Families.

Their relationships might not be well, but they were still on speaking terms.
