    Battle 144!

    Tonight’s competitor is the Bloodhand Dismemberer, Ye Ze Ming from the Dongyang Safe Zone! Facing off against…

    The fourth arena battle is underway.

    After three consecutive, ruthlessly quick knockouts and vividly bloody displays, Yenir’s bout instantly drew the attention of countless survivors.

    Below the arena, every awakened fighter watched him with grim faces, while opposite Yenir stood a burly fighter who appeared to be a Third-Stage Constitution Awakened.

    This fight deserves extra commentary!

    Out there, numerous factions and survivors have taken notice of him; his ratings keep rising!

    Even some big players have grown interested!

    Below the arena, the male commentator took a deep breath and nodded nervously at the organizer.

    He knew full well that this bout couldn’t mirror the previous matches.

    Following Yenir’s three one-shot kills, he had naturally attracted significant attention—perhaps to prevent further deaths or to truly unearth his strength.

    This time, the higher-ups broke the rules by pitting Yenir against a Constitution-type awakened known for his defensive prowess.

    Logically, although Yenir had previously shown staggering speed and power, he had been exploiting his opponents’ inability to react, stopping them before they could even deploy their talents or skills.

    But facing an early-stage peak Constitution fighter, such an over-the-top display shouldn’t be possible.

    Yet, for some unknown reason…

    The opponent, staring fixedly at Yenir, couldn’t shake the gnawing unease.

    “Can you hold him off!?”

    “I believe Ye Ze Ming possesses an instant-activation explosive skill! I checked his documents—he seems to have that innate talent, and he’s far stronger than his records indicate!”

    “He should manage, right? Such explosive skills are perfect for one-on-one brawls, giving him an edge. Though using it so frequently might dampen its effect, it’s still pretty terrifying…”

    “Folks, don’t you think he’s being too ruthless? Every move he makes is aimed at killing, giving his opponents no chance to counter! I believe this violates the selection rules—this isn’t what a true talent showdown should look like!”

    An awakened fighter leaning towards Willpower, though not blessed with raw strength, angrily declared that his control skills should secure him a spot in the region’s top three.

    Like cannons dueling, he feared no peer—until it was Yenir he faced, which instantly posed a tremendous threat!

    Especially, he felt he was next!

    When true, no-holds-barred combat ensued—with everyone activating their Spirit Shields and explosive skills head-to-head—he was confident in his abilities!

    But as soon as the fight began and Yenir charged in with life-or-death ferocity, he was truly terrified!

    Unfazed by the murmurs from the crowd, Yenir simply stood his ground, indifferent to the opinions swirling below.

    He knew that among the survivors watching the broadcast, he had already been saddled with labels like ‘Bloodhand’ and other assorted titles.

    It didn’t matter—he’d always intended to carve a bloody path.

    Standing opposed to him, unlike previous fighters, the burly Haoniao Shi wore an extraordinarily grave expression.

    Every muscle in his body was taut, his stance lowered slightly—a clear sign he was determined to defend first.

    Fixated on Yenir, he was ready to absorb every one of Yenir’s attacks!

    Once he managed to withstand the onslaught, he would exploit his close-combat prowess to drag Yenir into a grappling match!

    He even noticed that Yenir’s right hand was injured!

    He was confident that if this lightning-fast flea lost his speed, he’d be left for him to crush into mush!

    You can push around Agility-types, but how about taking me on!?

    I’ve got the upper hand!

    “Begin!”

    At the judge’s command, Yenir vanished in an instant.

    Meanwhile, the ever-tense Haoniao Shi roared, his body suddenly radiating a soil-yellow glow!

    It was his innate talent—a rock shield that flared into existence. Even a third-stage mid-level fighter would need multiple all-out attempts to break through his defense!

    However, in his heightened state, he frustratingly realized he couldn’t pinpoint Yenir’s location.

    Where is he!?

    Behind me? To the side!?

    Like a squat toilet, the burly Haoniao Shi strained to sense Yenir’s movements, ready to counterattack and show the terror of close-quarters combat from a Constitution Awakened!

    Before he could even think for another second, a mocking, light laugh rang out overhead.

    “Idiot, right above your head.”

    “Boom!!”

    It hit like a thousand pounds crashing down.

    One moment, Yenir had been charging straight ahead, and then, without warning, he appeared above him, his knee descending like the crushing weight of Mount Tai.

    “Bang!!”

    Amid a chorus of cracking sounds, Yenir slowly rose from the indented, deformed heap of a body his defense had been reduced to.

    Beneath him, Haoniao Shi—whose head had been crunched into his chest by that knee—was as good as dead.

    He got to his feet.

    Scanning the arena.

    Growing impatient, Yenir coldly swept his gaze over the stunned onlookers:

    “Next one—no breaks.”

    The arena fell silent at his words.

    Meanwhile, the awakened fighter who had been fuming and waiting for Haoniao Shi to tire or even fall was now trembling uncontrollably in the melee.

    Four battles, four deaths—no one left with a complete body.

    …………..

    “Give up!! I’m…!!”

    “Bang!!!”

    ….

    “Give up! I surrender!!”

    “Surrender!”

    In the vast arena, the Third-Stage Awakened still locked in bloody combat watched with mixed expressions as an unconcerned figure stood at the edge of the ring.

    That guy had already advanced with ten consecutive wins.

    What’s terrifying is that half of his matches ended with his opponents surrendering on their own.
