I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1148

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1150: Soul_1 Chapter 1148: Chapter 1150: Soul_1 Ten seconds!

In just ten seconds, Song Jian had killed the level 60 Elite Level BOSS Skull Crusher without even using the Thousand Swords Art!

It's widely known that, in the eyes of most game NPCs, divine protectors of the same level simply aren't a match for BOSSes of that level. A Skull Crusher at level 60 taking on a level 61 divine protector would have a very high chance of winning.

Even the NPCs who were spectating didn't believe Song Jian could defeat Skull Crusher, all shouting accusations of a fix–yet before their words had dropped, Song Jian slew Skull Crusher with a barrage of attacks like a violent storm.

A spectator below the arena couldn't help but spit out, “Damn, does it have to be that quick? I haven't even had time to adjust my feelings yet!”

Inside the control room, everyone was dumbfounded; none dared to look at Manager Mar, but they all guessed that his expression must be priceless at that moment.

Shortly afterward, Manager Mar flew into a rage, his shouts and curses filling the entire control room.

“Damn it! Send in the Destroyer, kill him, kill this pest from Abyssal Hell, this disgusting ant in dung…”

Disdain flashed in Fox's eyes as he gently adjusted his glasses and spoke softly, “My lord, perhaps this is precisely the public relations opportunity we need?”

“Fox, what the hell is in your head…” Mar turned his head and began to curse the bespectacled man.

But before he could finish, Fox suddenly said, “Manager, the human souls provided to the lord have been dwindling recently. If this continues, the lord is likely to get angry…”

Mar's body stiffened as if he had realized something. He began to tremble slightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

“…, Fox, let's hear your thoughts!” Mar threw himself back into his chair, closed his eyes as if contemplating, but in reality, his mind was filled with the image of a terrifying figure ablaze with black flames.

“Manager, we need to supply human souls to the lord, so we must attract more and more humans to challenge our guardians. However…” Fox pushed his glasses up and said, “the number of challengers has been dropping recently, mostly because our guardians are so strong that few people want to challenge us anymore. Even after we increased the consecutive victory rewards, it still didn't have much effect!”

“So what do you propose we do?” Mar suddenly opened his eyes and said with a sneer, “Are you saying it's our fault that these challengers are weak?”

“No, Manager!” Fox shook his head and said, “We should give them hope. For such a long time, hardly anyone has made it to the fifth round; most fall in the second or even the third round. This is the most important reason for the decrease in challengers…”

“I suggest…” A smile played on Fox's lips as he said, “I suggest that in the future, we at least allow these challengers to win five, or even six rounds. As for challengers as strong as today, we should proceed gradually without arranging such strong opponents from the start. On one hand, this will drain his stamina, and on the other hand, it will give him and others the hope of winning ten times in a row. This illusion will bring us unexpected benefits in our later harvests!”

“The most important thing is…” Fox glanced at Manager Mar and said, “Such a powerful human, his soul will definitely please the master immensely!”

Mar's eyes lit up, and he burst into loud laughter, “Haha, that's right, that's right. The stronger the human, the more valuable his soul and the happier our master will be. Haha, let's do that. You're in charge of arranging the next match, Fox. But don't mess it up at the end. If we can't harvest this human's soul, I'm sure the master won't be pleased. Then, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself…”

Fox stared at Mar, his expression turning somewhat gloomy, and he couldn't help but think to himself, “What an old fox!”

“Hehe, what does that have to do with me?” Fox suddenly laughed and said, “I merely made a suggestion. Whether to take it up is, of course, up to Manager Mar to decide. How would I have the authority to arrange matters in the arena?”

Fox might have agreed immediately to someone else, but the human on the monitor gave him an unfathomable impression. He killed a level sixty elite boss in just ten seconds and it seemed he hadn't used all his strength, undoubtedly holding back some trump cards.

Such a person could definitely achieve ten victories. Even the real Abyssal Demon in the arena, the Destroyer, Fox felt, might not be a match for this human.

“This is one hot potato that the old fox wants to pass to me. Humph, how could that possibly happen…” Fox sneered inwardly.

“If you're unwilling, then I'll have to do it myself, but if this turns out well, I won't give you any credit,” Manager Mar said with a cold sneer, turning around to arrange the upcoming fights with his walkie-talkie.

Fox's face turned ashen. So Mar had been waiting for him here, not willing to give him even a bit of credit. His colleagues looked at Fox with sympathy, while his eyes were fixed on the figure standing in the arena on the monitor.

“Human, the path has been laid out for you. Don't you dare disappoint me!” Fox thought to himself.

At that moment, after silence in the arena for over ten seconds, a thunderous cheer suddenly erupted. From merely several dozen people, their roaring cheers seemed to threaten to lift off the roof.

“That was amazing, just amazing! In only ten seconds, he took down the Skull Crusher. Senior brother, your judgment is indeed the best, recognizing the extraordinariness of this person at a glance…”

Li Qi was also full of shock, and hearing the praise from his juniors, a faintly awkward smile appeared on his face, “Ah, hehe, yes, yes. I saw his strength right away. Very good, very good!”

Li Qi clapped his hands and made an “I'm rooting for you” gesture towards Song Jian on the stage, although his laughter and expressions were a bit exaggerated.

Song Jian stood in the arena, and he could clearly feel that this Abyssal Demon's soul seemed to have been sucked away by something, similar to how the Shattered Divine Realm absorbed the soul energy of dominion-level bosses to repair itself.

“They are deliberately creating slaughter to obtain high-quality souls!” Song Jian's face was as grim as could be, and he clenched the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand.
