Nightmare was a tall and skinny man.
Not only was he skinny, his arms and legs were long and slender. Yue Yang remembered that he had learned an article before, but his memory was a little blurry. It seemed to be Lu Xun's "Hometown", where Madam Yang's legs were like compasses. This was still fresh in Yue Yang's memory. He guessed that this Nightmare with his hands on his waist was similar. If his hair was shorter, he would look like a skinny version of Master Xie Yalong.
However, that Tiger Nian was different. Although Tiger Nian was older, his hair was thick and black, like a hedgehog's, making him look especially energetic.
His thick palms and muscular body contained explosive power.
His pair of tiger eyes shone with a terrifying light.
If it wasn't for his slightly spotted beard, no one would be able to tell that he was an old man.
Both of them were Innate Level 3 Rankers and had summoning grimoires. What surprised Yue Yang was that they only had gold grimoires. He remembered that Impatiens had told Yue Yang that there was a type of person who used some kind of external force to forcefully level up to the Innate Realm. This was because this method used up all of one's potential in order to level up. That was why true Rankers didn't bother to use it. Of course, some people who were impatient to obtain Innate strength would use this method. However, the price they had to pay was that their Innate Realm would always be below Innate Level 3. Their summoning grimoires would also be limited to their previous level, with no possibility of leveling up.
Previously, Yue Yang had seen the Seven Great Bears who were forcefully leveled up by Shun Tian. Yao Guang, Kai Yang and Tian Quan didn't have high potential and were only below Innate Level 3. However, they all had platinum grimoires.
This proved that Yao Guang and Tian Quan were still considered to be late in leveling up. Usually, they only leveled up after reaching platinum grimoires.
Unexpectedly, Nightmare and Tiger Nian didn't even have platinum grimoires.
They only had gold grimoires.
Yue Yang didn't know about Nightmare and Tiger Nian's past. If he were to ask about the people in the Thunder Fortress, he would be shocked. Back then, in order to reach the Innate Realm, Nightmare and Tiger Nian plotted to murder their Master who had wholeheartedly imparted his skills to them. Then, they forcefully devoured their Master's body and energy like wild beasts, and reached the Innate Realm in one go.
It was precisely because they were so insane that the Innate Alliance excluded them and didn't acknowledge their abilities.
Yao Guang and Tian Quan were able to reach the Innate Realm with the help of Shun Tian's hand and the special medicine.
He was already looked down upon, not to mention the Gourmet's Nightmare and Tiger Nian.
Although the Seven Great Bears didn't have a good reputation in the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower, compared to Nightmare and Tiger Nian, the Seven Great Bears were good kids!
"Junior, you're really arrogant!" Nightmare's sharp, needle-like voice sneered, piercing one's eardrums.
"Are these your last words?" Yue Yang took out a small notebook and scribbled a few lines of words on it, as if he was recording something.
"What do you mean?" Although Tiger Nian was arrogant, he was cautious by nature. He was curious and suspicious of Yue Yang's notebook. Not only the two of them, but everyone present also wanted to know what Yue Yang had written in his notebook. Facing two Innate Level 3 Rankers, facing Nightmare and Tiger Nian, how could he still have the mood to record?
"I suddenly remembered that if I kill you, I might be able to exchange some good stuff from the Mercenary Guild. I have to record it down so that it won't go to waste." Yue Yang's words were like a barrel of gunpowder exploding, causing the crowd to boil.
He was too arrogant. Not to mention the outsiders, even Jia De felt that Yue Yang was too arrogant.
Two Innate Level 3 Rankers, not two ordinary Level 3 Tofu Men. He hadn't even fought with them, and he wanted to take their heads to claim the reward?
What kind of people were Nightmare and Tiger Nian?
There were at least ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people who wanted to kill them. However, these two people who were despised by everyone were still alive and well. They had to admit that these two people were really powerful. If they were slightly weaker, their graves would have been filled with weeds, and they would still be able to live happily in the Thunder Fortress. Especially those who knew about Nightmare and Tiger Nian's abilities, they felt that Yue Yang would definitely lose. Nightmare and Tiger Nian were both powerful Innate Level 3 Rankers, and they even had special beasts. In the past, when they were not Innates, they managed to kill their Innate Level 5 Master together.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying their beasts were.
The fat An Dong laughed coldly, "This brat is dead meat!"
The mysterious man wearing a wide-brimmed hat shrugged his shoulders, "Mr An Dong, please forgive me, I can't agree with you. I don't deny that Nightmare and Tiger Nian's beasts are special, but they are not undefeatable. "
The fat An Dong's face darkened, "Are you going to report to that brat?"
The man wearing a wide-brimmed hat spread his hands elegantly, "Don't think that I'm like you. Since we're playing a game, I will definitely follow the rules."
"That's for the best. Please don't forget that you've placed a bet of one million gold." An Dong warned him again.
"… Do you want me to thank you for your reminder?" The mysterious man didn't care about An Dong's attitude at all.
At the side of the arena, Jia De was wringing his hands.
He didn't know if he should remind Mr Tai Tan that Nightmare and Tiger Nian's beasts were very special. If Mr Tai Tan lost, he would have wasted all his efforts. However, if he took the initiative to break the rules, it would be fine if he won. No one would care about the winner's mistakes, but if he lost, he would probably be killed.
Should he watch Tai Tan fail because he didn't know how powerful his opponent's beasts were?
Even if it wasn't for his two hundred and eighty thousand gold, he should at least think about his new friend.
Although it was just a casual sentence.
At the very least, he had said the word 'friend'!
A Ranker saying friend to a merchant, there probably weren't many people like that in the entire Tong Tian Tower. Jia De got excited and left his seat. He squeezed to the side of the arena and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
"Are you trying to disrupt the competition?" A dozen guards immediately surrounded him.
"I, I'm his friend, I just want to show my support! Do you want to drink water? Take a rest first. You've already fought a battle just now, it's not fair to start another battle now! " Jia De waved the water bag in his hands. He was prepared to wait for Yue Yang to come back for a drink before secretly telling him about Nightmare and Tiger Nian's special beasts.
"No need, the battle will end soon. It won't take much effort." Yue Yang smiled indifferently. He even hinted to Jia De not to be too nervous.
"Ah!" Jia De sweated profusely. Was this brat too arrogant or too young?
Could it be that he couldn't tell what he meant?
He didn't really want him to drink water, nor did he want him to rest. He just wanted to tell him something. Could it be that he really couldn't tell?
Jia De was about to speak again when he suddenly remembered what Yue Yang said not long ago: I'll only say one thing. If you want to be my friend, the only thing you have to do is to trust me!
Should he continue to trust him?
Previously when the three guards were fighting, he was already worried. However, Yue Yang immediately won the battle and completely destroyed his doubts and worries. He even made a huge profit from it. Now, the battle was about to start again. Could he really not trust him for once? Fat Toad Jia De gritted his teeth and nodded towards Yue Yang.
Although the word 'trust' was a laughable existence to the Jia De in the past.
But now, he was willing to try to trust him for once!
Just once!
Hearing Yue Yang's arrogant reply, everyone had different reactions. An Dong sneered. The gamblers all cheered passionately. They loved arrogant rankers. Weaklings? Let all the weaklings die! The gamblers didn't support obedient people. They wanted an arrogant, flashy and strong winner! Of course, there were some gamblers who bet on Yue Yang to lose cursed loudly. However, because there were too few of them, their voices were drowned out by the cheers.
"…" Tiger Nian sneered silently.
"Junior, if you want to die early, I'll fulfill your wish." Nightmare placed his hand on his Gold Grimoire and summoned it quickly.
A black light emerged from the Summoning Grimoire.
Thick smoke rose into the air.
Then, it rotated above the entire arena and turned into a layer of black mist. Slowly, slowly, it descended.
Yue Yang didn't have any reaction at all as he watched quietly.
The ground of the arena suddenly split open. Blood-red hot lava spurted out and spread towards Yue Yang's legs. Yue Yang didn't move. The lava surrounded Yue Yang's legs and formed an encirclement, causing Yue Yang to be unable to move an inch. At this moment, the arena was extremely hot. Everyone was sweating profusely. Jia De, who was at the side of the arena, was sweating profusely.
The ground where Nightmare and Tiger Nian's legs were standing on rose up, forming two tall pillars.
Countless pieces of soil, as well as the collapsed walls of the arena and some metal cages that were used to store beasts, had all fallen into the boiling magma.
With a sizzling sound, they quickly turned into green smoke and melted.
In the blink of an eye, they became part of the lava.
Yue Yang's eyes were calm and unchanging. It was as if the lava surrounding him didn't exist at all.
At this moment, under the control of Nightmare's fingers, countless spikes drilled out from the ground and pierced through Yue Yang's feet. Blood splattered everywhere, causing the audience to gasp in shock …
Nightmare summoned for the third time. A meteor fell from the sky and smashed towards Yue Yang's head.
Yue Yang didn't move an inch.
The meteor brushed past his scalp and smashed beside him with a loud bang, causing a large amount of lava to splatter.
The huge shockwave caused everyone to fall onto the ground. Many of them screamed in agony as they were scalded by the lava. Their bodies were on fire and they cried, slapped or rolled to extinguish the fire. The fat toad Jia De's heavy and fat body flew high into the air and hung on the edge of the VIP seats on the second floor of the arena. His butt was hit by some lava and it was sizzling as it caught fire.
Jia De's face was contorted in pain but he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.
"Not bad, it would be great if chili powder could fall from the sky." Yue Yang suddenly said.
"Chili powder?" Everyone was stunned. Why would he want chili powder?
"If I don't add some chili powder, this big bowl of noodles won't be flavorful enough. Eating noodles without some spiciness isn't satisfying enough …" Yue Yang explained.
"This is lava!" Nightmare was so angry that his nose became crooked. What kind of look was that? Was this noodles? It was obviously lava, yet it had nothing to do with eating noodles!
"I agree. This is the Magma brand of instant noodles. If you add some hot water, add some chili powder or chilli sauce, and stir-fry a poached egg, then it would be perfect. No, you have to add some vegetables. Say, if there were some spare ribs left over from the fridge, and you could put two into the bowl, how good would that be! " Yue Yang was almost drooling as he spoke, but no one in the audience could understand what he was saying.
What instant noodles? What fridge? They had never heard of it before.
Furthermore, what did eating noodles have to do with lava?
Everyone scratched their heads, but they still couldn't understand …
However, a strange thing happened. The boiling hot lava disappeared. In the middle of the arena, there was only a bowl the size of a wok, filled with noodles.
There were poached eggs, spare ribs and chili sauce inside. Yue Yang walked over with big strides. He held a pair of chopsticks in his hand, as if he was preparing to eat the noodles. Those who were attentive would notice that his leg that was pierced and the lava that splashed on his body had all disappeared. Everything was perfectly fine. What was even more strange was that Nightmare had turned into a white pig.
The chopsticks in Yue Yang's hands turned into a butcher's knife. He explained, "There aren't enough spare ribs, I have to kill a pig and barbecue it, then add some roasted pork!"
"No, I'm not a pig, this is an illusion …" Nightmare shrieked in fear.
All the illusions disappeared.
Yue Yang didn't move a single step and stood there quietly.
Opposite him stood a shocked Tiger Nian and Nightmare, who was drenched in sweat.
What was even more shocking was that Nightmare was still screaming crazily, "I wasn't killed, I wasn't put on the table, no, I wasn't cut into pieces, I wasn't barbecued, no, this is my Nightmare Beast, this is an illusion, I didn't die … Impossible, no one can control my beast, these are all illusions … Tiger Nian, save me, no, Tiger Nian, you can't kill me, you can't betray me, we are … Impossible, you're already dead, I've eaten you long ago, don't, no, Master, spare me …"
Nightmare's crazed screams stopped abruptly.
It was as if he saw the most terrifying thing in the world. He fell to the ground and died with his body twitching.
His eyes bulged out like a dead fish. His pupils dilated and slowly froze.
Tiger Nian shook Nightmare's body with all his might and slapped him repeatedly. He tried his best to wake Nightmare up in the illusion of his' Nightmare Beast '. Unfortunately, the only thing he could do was to watch his comrade Nightmare die in fear.
Nightmare, a murderous maniac who could toy with his enemies, a crazy disciple who could kill his master with his beast, was now dead.
He died in the hands of his own 'Nightmare Beast'.
In the illusion of the 'Nightmare Beast', everything was an illusory existence. However, as long as one agreed with it, it would become real. When a person died in the illusion, their real body would also die … because what was killed in the illusion was the soul! Under the control of Nightmare, this unique ability had killed countless powerful warriors. Even warriors who were stronger than Nightmare couldn't escape death.
However, to Yue Yang who could pass the illusion of Gemini Temple and Virgo Temple, this illusion was child's play.
Furthermore, Yue Yang had the Heaven Eyes Divine Vision that could see through his opponent's ability.
"… That's impossible!" The giant fatty An Dong was sweating profusely like a waterfall. He looked at Yue Yang who was in the middle of the battlefield in fear. His face was green and his lips were pale as he muttered to himself, "Impossible, this is an illusion. This brat can't kill Nightmare, that's Nightmare after all!"
"Can I remind you, Mr. An Dong? Mr. Anton, this is the truth. "The mysterious man's lips curled into a smile.
