Chen Rui's current strength was equivalent to a newly advanced Intermediate Demon. Arux was at least a Higher Demon in the stabilization period, which was the early stage of Intermediate Demon versus the middle stage of Higher Demon. There was a difference of a whole realm. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Although Chen Rui had been turning the impossible into the possible since he came to the Demon Realm, he used to rely on wisdom and luck. Now, it was real strength!
"Sir Arux, I remember!" Keithahn patted his head and said, "The name of No. 64 is Aguile, the leader of a small organization in the city called the Cloak Gang."
"Cloak Gang?" Arux nodded and looked at Chen Rui with a cruel smile. "Very good! Then you have one more bargaining chip, all the members of the Cloak Gang. If you fail or escape, the heads of everyone in the Cloak Gang, including you, will be hung in the arena. "
Chen Rui pondered and said, "I admit that this challenge is very difficult, so from now on, I need urgent special training. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone during this period! I only have one question. After signing the contract, will my whereabouts be exposed within these two months? "
"It's written clearly on the contract. The time is 60 days later. I can't detect your presence within 60 days."
Chen Rui had no other choice. He took a deep breath, bit his finger and wrote Aguile's name on the flame contract with his blood. The blood words turned into a golden mark and went into the flame. Arux did the same and completed the signing of the contract.
Keithahn at the side was stunned. He didn't expect Sir Arux to sign a war contract with an Intermediate Demon. This was simply shameful.
Arux moved his mind and the war contract disappeared. He nodded and said, "Okay! However, your current strength isn't enough to challenge me. Since you said you want to break the seal between life and death, I'll help you! Today's' Bloody Hand ', Lance is just an early stage Intermediate Demon. Your next opponent is' Quick Wolf ', Jesse, the strongest among the Intermediate Demon in the arena. I'll give you ten days of recovery and special training. The match will be held at this time ten days later. If you fail, I don't want to repeat the consequences. "
"I know," Chen Rui said bluntly. "What if you lose in two months?"
In a sense, the strategy of delaying and goading had succeeded. What was left was to rely on true strength. According to common sense, it was impossible to challenge Arux in 2 years, let alone 2 months. However, the Super System that he owned was an existence beyond common sense. Not only that, he also had Paglio and the newly transformed heart of a powerhouse.
Just like the battle with Lance today, people were all forced. The greater the pressure, the more potential could be stimulated. Since there was no way to retreat, he might as well fight with all his heart. Even if he was placed in a dead end, he might as well fight with all his heart.
"I will lose?" Arux seemed to have heard a big joke. Keithahn on the side immediately seized the opportunity and sneered. "If you can really break the so-called seal step by step and defeat me two months later, this arena and my life are all yours! However, don't take any chances to escape. Even if you escape to the edge of the Demon Realm, I will still take your head! "
"A real warrior will only die in battle, not because of escape." Chen Rui said faintly, turned around and left.
"I'm looking for some fun. Then, I look forward to cutting off your head in the arena two months later." Arux's smile became crueler, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Wait!"
As soon as Chen Rui turned around, he saw the Great Demon waving his hand. The fluorescent stone sculpture that was more than a meter high slowly rose into the air and flew toward him. He quickly caught it with both hands, and he was surprised.
"This is what you deserve!" Arux didn't bother with him anymore. He sat down and picked up the wine glass by himself.
As soon as Chen Rui left, Keithahn plucked up his courage and asked, "Sir Arux, you could have easily killed Aguile just now. Why did you lower yourself and sign a war contract with this incompetent person?"
Arux's wine glass paused. There was a hint of nostalgia in his blood-colored red pupils, but his voice became grim, "Keithahn, you are my confidant. You have been following me for nearly a hundred years. You should know what to ask and what not to ask."
The lich looked fearful. He knew that he had said too much, so he quickly bowed, "Sir, don't worry, Keithahn understands."
Although it was already late at night and his injuries were not light, as the two months period was urgent, Chen Rui didn't stay any longer. He returned to the lab and immediately rode the wyvern toward the blue lake.
On the way, Chen Rui entered the Super System. In the status bar, the Experience Value had reached 6%. He finally discovered the abnormality of the 3D human body. At a certain wretched part, the light ball of "Alkaid" shone brighter. With that as the center, there were wisps of light appearing in various parts of the body like smoke. They were looming, faintly forming a thin skeleton shape.
What does the change in this "skeleton" represent? Chen Rui was puzzled for a while. After the battle with Lance, he also clearly felt some changes in his body. It seemed that the use of power was more spontaneous. Paglio was right. The more life and death the actual combat, the faster the improvement of strength.
However, the next test was still very tough. Let alone facing Arux two months later, the "Quick Wolf" Jesse 10 days later was a very scary opponent. Those who had the ability to survive in the arena were all battle-hardened and experienced powerhouses. Since Arux named Jesse as the strongest powerhouse in the stabilization period of Intermediate Demon, then Jesse's strength was definitely not fake.
With Chen Rui's current strength equivalent to the early stage of Intermediate Demon, the danger of facing Jesse 10 days later was definitely higher than today's battle.
The quality of that statue was really high. When Chen Rui arrived above the blue lake, it was completely transformed. Although this thing was the source of trouble, the aura provided was not sloppy at all. It was more than 16,000 points. Now that his total aura value had reached more than 21,000 points, it could definitely be used reasonably. The training ground was the most suitable place to "spend".
At present, he needed to listen to the poison dragon's opinion first, then arrange an emergency training plan.
After getting off the wyvern and walking a few steps, Chen Rui keenly felt the abnormality behind him. He slightly leaned to the side and dodged a sneak attack. Suddenly, he fell down facing the sky. At the same time he fell down, he launched an inverted kick. The person behind him moved faster and grabbed his leg. Chen Rui used the force to rise. He used his body as the axis and spun in the air. The person couldn't catch him for a while, and his other leg was already kicking at the person while spinning. That person exclaimed in surprise and took two steps back, dodging this unexpected attack.
"Strange, you seem to have become stronger." It was Paglio's voice behind him. "Your strength and reaction have improved a lot, but it's a little sluggish when you spin. Are you injured?"
"You can even tell that? No wonder you're the poison dragon. Even your eyes are so sharp. " Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "The injury this time isn't light. I seem to have broken two bones, but you know my body. I can probably recover in two or three days."
Paglio frowned and said, "Who did you fight with? How did you get injured? "
When Chen Rui finished talking about the arena, the poison dragon immediately scolded, "You challenged Higher Demon with the strength of Intermediate Demon? And he even signed that damned War Contract or something? Don't forget that our lives are connected now. Do you want to drag me to death with you? "
"I didn't want to either. The situation was too critical at the time, and I couldn't help it." Chen Rui shrugged, "I went to the arena because I wanted to improve my strength as soon as possible and go to the Silent Night Wetland to help you unlock the < Lock of Light and Dark >? It's useless to regret now. Let's make an emergency special training plan to at least reach the strength of Higher Demon within two months. "
"Early Intermediate Demon to Higher Demon in two months?" Paglio's eyes suddenly widened. "If it's so easy, the imps on the ground are all Higher Demon! Just use your cunning! Think of a way to kill that Great Demon in advance! "
"Paglio, listen to me. I think this is an opportunity. Didn't you say it before? Actual combat is the fastest shortcut for improvement. As you can see, my current strength has significantly improved compared to last night. That Arux has arranged it. The opponent I will challenge 10 days later is an opponent of the middle stage of Intermediate Demon. If I can win, he will continue to arrange new opponents, from low to high, until I can challenge him. These battles are very dangerous, but looking at it from another perspective, it's equivalent to Arux pushing me forward! So, I want to give it a try and really fight. "
As Chen Rui said, his eyes lit up, "I almost lost my life in the arena today, but I gained a lot. I have really understood a lot of things. If I lack courage and fighting spirit, then even if I have … the grand master's inheritance, I'm just an opportunist who relies on tricks to survive in the cracks for the rest of my life. Can I still go to the Silent Night Wetland? Can I still look for the fairy dragon, Rolla? Not only for you, but also for myself. I need strength. I want to become a real powerhouse! "
Compared with the many mountains ahead, Arux was just a small mountain in front of Chen Rui. If he couldn't even conquer this mountain, how could he cross higher mountains in the future?
Although the pressure was huge, it was also a motivation.
The poison dragon said disdainfully, "Everyone wants to be a powerhouse, but you can encounter the threat of death at any time on this road. There are only a few who can really survive to become a powerhouse! Aren't you afraid of death? Use your brain and think about it clearly! "
"Paglio, didn't you come here step by step like this?" Chen Rui did not waver. "I have decided. Even if there are dangers of death everywhere on the road ahead, I will never back down. I don't want to be the puppet of fate anymore. I want to choke it! "
The poison dragon's eyes gradually calmed down. He carefully looked at the human who had never been so serious before. He asked coldly, "Overconfident guy, are you sure you want to do this?"
"We humans have a saying. Cowards have died thousands of times before they really die, but the brave only die once. I know what you're worried about. Can the symbiotic contract be canceled? Even without the contract, I will go to the Silent Night Wetland to help you unlock the seal. If you don't believe me … "
"Unless you reach the Demi-God level, otherwise the power of the contract can't be canceled! Besides, with your cunning and greed, I'm not at ease. I'd rather continue to maintain the contract! " The poison dragon interrupted him impatiently. "Since you have decided, Sir Paglio will take this risk with you! I want to see how you choke fate in the future! I just found out now that you're not only cunning and greedy, but you're also a complete lunatic! I really don't understand how Sir Paglio has such a partner! "
"But since you've decided, you can try it. If it really doesn't work, I still have a way to deal with that guy!" The poison dragon then added.
Although Paglio's tone was not good, he had already expressed his trust and support. The word "partner" moved Chen Rui even more. He knew that this proud dragon had completely recognized his courage. Of course, his mouth was still as stubborn as ever.
