Soon, it was Linlong's turn to fight, and his opponent this time was naturally the spotted tiger.
Even though there was a huge disparity in strength, there were still demons who placed their bets on the spotted tiger. Of course, most of them placed their bets on the spotted tiger, and none of them were optimistic about Linlong's chances.
"Begin!"
With that, the spotted tiger was released from another direction.
As soon as it was released, the spotted tiger immediately pounced on Linlong.
Linlong dodged to the right, but he was still not as fast as the spotted tiger. As soon as the spotted tiger pounced on him, Linlong was pushed to the ground.
Just when the demons thought that the battle was about to end, Linlong rolled on the ground and narrowly dodged the spotted tiger's fangs.
As soon as he dodged, Linlong immediately punched the spotted tiger's head.
His fist landed on the spotted tiger's head easily. However, Linlong did not use his full strength, and his punch merely made the spotted tiger's head sway a little.
However, such a punch immediately made the spotted tiger roar in anger.
In the next moment, it pounced on Linlong again. This time, it was obviously faster.
Although Linlong dodged to the side with all his might, he was still pushed to the ground by the spotted tiger just like before.
This time, Linlong did not manage to roll away in time, and was pinned to the ground by the spotted tiger's claws.
"Roar …"
Seeing that Linlong was subdued just like that, the spotted tiger roared and bit at Linlong's neck with its bloody mouth.
Seeing this situation, the demons who had placed their bets on Linlong all shook their heads in disappointment, because they could tell that Linlong would definitely lose.
At this moment, Ai Yi could not help but yell anxiously, "Quick, stop it!"
However, when the demon guards in the arena were about to stop the spotted tiger, Linlong, who was pinned to the ground by the spotted tiger, used his clothes to wrap around the spotted tiger's mouth.
This made it impossible for the spotted tiger to bite his neck.
"Linlong is really quick-witted." Seeing this situation, all the demons present exclaimed in admiration.
However, even so, they didn't think that Linlong would win. They could see that the disparity in strength between Linlong and the tiger was too great. Linlong was just using a trick, and as time went on, he still wouldn't be a match for the tiger.
However, what happened next made them exclaim in surprise.
This was because Linlong actually gave up on wrapping himself around the tiger's clothes. His right index finger and middle finger came together and suddenly attacked the tiger's right eye.
Due to the close distance, the tiger did not expect Lin Long to launch such a sneak attack. It was caught off guard and was blinded by Lin Long's two fingers.
The tiger immediately roared in pain. As it roared, Linlong was flung several feet away.
Although Lin Long was directly shaken off, the Spotted Tiger's injury made the demons who were holding Lin Long very excited.
Then, enduring the pain, the tiger charged at the culprit, Linlong.
However, with one of its eyes injured, its vision was blocked. Hence, it couldn't push Linlong to the ground as easily as before.
Although it managed to push Linlong down again, Linlong repeated the same trick. He used the clothes in his hand to wrap around its mouth, and then poked its left eye with two fingers.
With a roar, the tiger's left eye was blinded by Linlong again.
No matter how crazy the blind tiger was, it couldn't be a match for Linlong. Hence, after a while of intense fighting, the demon who was the referee announced that Linlong was the winner, and the tiger was dragged away.
The victory made Linlong soon called over by Ai Yi again.
"Not bad, Lin Li. Although there's a huge difference in strength between you and the tiger, you defeated it with your agile footwork and wit. I have higher expectations for you. However, your basic skills and strength are still lacking, so you have to train harder from now on," Ai Yi said.
"Thank you for your praise, Lord. I will work hard," Linlong said.
Next, Ai Yi obviously valued Linlong more, and seemed to want to groom him into a powerful gladiator.
Of course, Linlong pretended to deal with it.
Unknowingly, another ten days had passed. During these ten days, Linlong had been waiting for someone to contact him, but nothing had changed. Even Ai Yi's guard, who had passed him the note, was nowhere to be seen.
In the past 10 days, Linlong had participated in many gladiatorial competitions, and encountered many tough opponents. However, after a tough battle, he finally defeated his opponents.
Although Linlong didn't defeat his opponents with an absolute advantage every time, his victories still made his reputation more and more resounding.
Tonight, there would be another duel. After this duel, Ai Yi unexpectedly asked him to go on stage for the first time.
Such treatment could be said to be very special because the demons looked down on humans. In the history of gladiators, there weren't many people who could be asked to go on stage.
After Linlong walked to Ai Yi's side, Ai Yi pointed at a middle-aged man beside him with a smile, and asked, "Lin Li, do you know this Lord Luo?"
He was naturally a demon, but he looked very unfamiliar. Linlong had never seen him before. Hence, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know him."
"Oh, is that so? Actually, if I hadn't bought you from Monger back then, you would have most likely become this Lord's subordinate," Ai Yi said with a smile.
Lord Luo only smiled, and didn't say anything. However, Linlong couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Then, Ai Yi directly asked Linlong to leave.
Linlong naturally didn't take this matter to heart.
Three days later, Linlong noticed that the gladiators under Ai Yi's command were very excited about the upcoming battle.
"Yang Ming, what's the good news? Why is everyone so happy?" Linlong asked as he walked to a gladiator.
In the past few days, Linlong had the best relationship with Yang Ming, so he naturally had to ask him this question.
"I forgot to tell you that today is the day we go to the brothel in the city. Ai Yi stipulated that there will be such a day every two months. Although Ai Yi doesn't put us in his eyes, and he doesn't care about our life and death, it is good that he can do this," said Yang Ming.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Linlong was a little surprised, but he soon understood why Ai Yi did that. That was to make these gladiators miss him, and make them work harder for him.
At noon that day, more than 10 of Ai Yi's subordinates led the gladiators to a brothel in the city.
Along the way, Yang Ming naturally told Linlong about the brothel, such as the number of brothels in Gu Yue City, and the demonic and human prostitutes in the brothel.
After leaving their previous residence, these gladiators were even more excited.
Soon, they arrived at the brothel, and after a round of selection, they all entered the room.
Linlong was naturally not interested in the women inside, but in order not to attract attention, he randomly pointed to a human woman and walked up.
What Linlong didn't expect was that after this human woman went up, she obediently sat at the side, and then another woman walked in from the other side of the room.
Seeing this woman, Linlong couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face because this woman was Qing Yi.
After Qing Yi gave the other woman a look, the woman immediately left, walked into another room, and closed the door.
"Young Master, the security around the arena is too tight. It's difficult to get close to you, so I can only choose this method. I hope you don't mind," said Qing Yi quickly.
"Qing Yi, it's good to see you." Linlong smiled.
"Young Master, have you met Master Luo before?" asked Qing Yi.
"Master Luo? I think I have seen him before. Isn't he a slightly plump middle-aged man who always seems to have a smile on his face? "Linlong couldn't help but ask.
"En, it's him." Qing Yi nodded.
"What about him?"
"Because it's inconvenient for me, he will be responsible for bringing young master to meet the people from the Devil Sect in the future," said Qing Yi.
"Oh." Linlong nodded.
"Young Master, you don't have to worry. Master Luo is a good friend of Madam, and he also has friendly relations with the people from the Devil Sect, so he won't betray us … Moreover, we have already found the people from the Devil Sect, and young master will meet them soon." Afraid that Linlong would be worried, Qing Yi added.
"That's good." Hearing Qing Yi's words, Linlong couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, there's not much time left. I have to leave," said Qing Yi.
Seeing that Qing Yi was about to leave, Linlong asked again, "Qing Yi, is Madam here as well?"
"Madam is here as well. However, we won't be staying for long, and we will be leaving tomorrow. This time, it was Madam who used all sorts of methods to get us out … Alright, young master, be careful. Qing Yi will be leaving first," said Qing Yi.
After saying that, Qing Yi directly left, and the woman from before walked in again.
Then, she walked out with Linlong.
Not long after, Ai Yi's demon subordinates brought the gladiators back to the mansion.
Two more days passed, and on the night of the third day, Linlong participated in the gladiator competition again.
This time, his opponent was obviously more powerful. However, after another "bitter" battle, Linlong defeated his opponent again.
Such a situation naturally made Ai Yi smile from ear to ear.
After that, Ai Yi called Linlong over.
According to Ai Yi, as long as Linlong defeated a few more powerful gladiators, he would become one of the strongest gladiators in this world.
In Linlong's opinion, such a powerful gladiator was naturally useless. If he really was such a gladiator, based on his experience during this period of time, he could foresee his future. He would one day die in the gladiator arena.
And the one who killed him might not necessarily be a human. It could be a wild beast, a demonic beast, or even a demon race.
Of course, Ai Yi didn't care about this. From Linlong's point of view, as long as he won, he would be happy. That way, he would be able to earn a steady stream of money.
After leaving Ai Yi and returning to his room, Linlong opened a piece of paper in his hand.
This was given to him by Lord Luo when he left the gladiator arena just now.
