The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1322

…

To the matter that he is worried about, Xin Ja feels a hint of concern. How could someone who seems so nonchalant and experienced in battles be worried to such an extent? But when he recalled those three beasts he had seen using his Absolute Sense, he could now almost understand why the man feels worried.

After the introduction of the gladiators, the arena erupted in a cacophony of discussions. People are starting to place their bets on the fighters through their numbers.

Xin Ja did not bother with this and continued sitting on the side and writing talismans and etching runes. He might not be able to use his dantian for now, but he can try to create something that almost has the same function.

Then one of the staff from the coliseum began to distribute their weapons, pieces of armor, and other gears.

When the staff saw that Xin Ja seems to be doing something, a sneer appears on his face. He gave Xin Ja a knife and a helmet.

"Since you're still going to die, then you can have these…" he thought with a smirk.

Big Rock who is sitting in front of Xin Ja frowned when he saw this.

"What is the meaning of this?" he asked while looking at the staff.

When that staff member heard his words, he was about to rebut but when he saw that it was Big Rock, he suddenly quivered.

Who did not know in the coliseum how strong Big Rock is?

Without hesitation, he suddenly turns around and darted out of the gladiator's fence.

Big Rock wanted to pursue the guy, but Xin Ja held him back.

"It's okay… These things are enough for me…"

"But…"

"Friend… I am deeply touched by your concern. If we survive this, I will owe you one…" Xin Ja sincerely said with a bow.

"Haha… I won't dare… A master like you is not someone that the likes of me could owe a favor. But I am deeply honored." Big Rock said with a grin.

"Well, as of now, we both are in the same situation… Hmm… Can I check your condition?" asked Xin Ja curiously.

With a nod, Big Rock did not hesitate to extend his right hand.

Xin Ja's finger touches his wrist and using his Absolute Sense, Xin Ja is able to perceive what is happening inside the body of Big Rock.

In fact, this guy is not wounded or anything, he might be a 1st-level Ki-Fighter, but his physique has reached the Ki-Adept realm.

This could only mean that he is actually a physique practitioner… someone who tempers their physique to grow rather than their dantians.

He has read and learned of such people from the academy and these people are called barbarians.

In history, there are also Shens that came from the barbarian nations. Those Shens are far tougher than their counterpart. The only drawback of these types of Shens is that they are unable to wield their Shen power effectively, instead, they rely more on their godly physique in battle.

Then Xin Ja noticed the slave imprint on his body. A slight smile appears on his face, as he willed a strand of Ki to that imprint using his glove.

After a few cycles, Xin Ja was able to remove the slave imprint on Big Rock's body.

Xin Ja knew that slave imprints are used by their masters to control slaves. But for him, he does not have one as he is not a slave.

He was just treated as one and that caretaker Yu has mistaken him to be one. But of course, Xin Ja did not care about these things.

Soon the sound of the arena erupting in cheers began. The staff of the arena once again enter their fence and separate everyone into two groups.

Xin Ja and Big Rock coincidentally stood side by side which means they belong to one group. Then they were paired to face another gladiator as their opponent.

His enemy is a tan-skinned man with a large scar on his face making him look menacing.

Meanwhile, Big Rock is facing a skinny man with a sinister smile on his face.

After a while, Xin Ja finished his talisman and rune arrays and put them back inside his small pouch.

The staff saw this and quickly walked in Xin Ja's direction.

Without asking anything he suddenly grabs the pouch and then checked the contents inside.

Big Rock wanted to react but he was held by another staff member.

The bag was turned inside out and the papers and rocks fell to the ground.

They look like charms and what's written on them almost made everyone laugh their ass off.

'I will live through this.'

"What a wimp!" said one of the staff members.

The other gladiators also sneered at what Xin Ja has written on the papers and the stones.

The staff throws the pouch on the ground and Xin Ja quickly picks it up.

While everyone is sneering and jeering at him, Big Rock is showing confusion in his eyes. He might not know how to read, but he is sure that those are not what he had seen Xin Ja writing.

But he did not say anything and just nodded his head in realization and he immediately feels deep respect for Xin Ja.

"506 versus 103!"

"506 versus 103!"

Shouted the staff and Big Rock showed a confident smile on his face while looking at the lanky fellow before him.

The crowd cheered and this time Xin Ja decided to watch the battle.

Watching behind the cage, Xin Ja could see Big Rock and that lanky fellow 103 entering the arena. Both of them began to circle and sand and show an aggressive stance.

Then suddenly they began to attack, what happened next made Xin Ja lose his desire to watch the scene before him.

How could he not feel disappointed?

The two men attacked each other without even using their own Ki. The lanky fellow holds his short sword with a dexterous movement and agile body. He could even cover the surface of his short sword with Ki. However, that was it.

The Ki did not do anything but display his minuscule prowess to the audience.

Those in the know would just sneer at his performance.

With one swing of his sword, Big Rock easily parried the blade of his opponent. But the lanky fellow is truly agile as he was able to dodge Big Rock's next attack.

As the two exchange blows wounds began to appear on the lanky fellow's body. As for Big Rock, his body is as tough as steel. Only white lines would appear on the surface of his skin whenever he would be hit by his enemy.

Soon, the battle ended when little rock kicked the lanky fellow to the wall and nailed him to one of the spikes.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the audience chanted while looking at the still struggling lanky fellow at the edge of his life.

"No! Spare me!" the lanky fellow shouted as he held on to the spike skewering his thin body.

"Humph! You did not even spare other people, how dare you beg for your life!" Big Rock said with a sneer.

As he lifted his short sword, the eyes of that lanky fellow suddenly turned grim as he forces his body to come out from the spike.

With a jump of his body, he took something in his mouth.

Then in almost an instant, his long arms and legs mutated and his body slowly turned into something else.

Big Rock was taken aback and quickly dodges by rolling on the ground away from that lanky fellow who has now turned into an unknown creature.

Roar!!!

As if his mind became muddled, the lanky fellow who now turned into a beast shakes his head while slowly circling the arena.

Everyone is looking at this scene with shock while others are now showing excitement in their eyes.

All of a sudden, the creature snarled and then pouches at Big Rock.

Without hesitation, Big Rock shifted his weight on one of his feet and with a quick turn of his body, he swings his sword forward.

Slice!!!

The lanky fellow that has turned into a beast might be scary and powerful, but after all, a beast would always be a beast.

And with one powerful swing of his short sword, Big Rock easily decapitates the beast as it falls to the ground with its head rolling further away.

With its head now gone, the dead corpse slowly transformed back into its original form.

Upon seeing this, the audience erupted in cheer.

"506!"

"506!"

"506!"

The coliseum shook with the loud voices of the audience and their cheering.

"That 506 fellow is really something else. He could easily kill the transformed figure of 103… I remember someone being eaten by 103 when he transformed before." a gladiator said.

"But this time, 506 would be in trouble. 103 is someone from one of the major sponsors…" someone interjected.

Xin Ja who is listening on the side frowned when he heard those discussions.
