Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 539 - 457 Purification_3
"Don't be so stingy; you're making quite a bit of money now."
Chen Gu nodded, agreeing that he indeed should hire a professional team to help him deal with the matters of the Behemoth Alliance.
He looked at the photo of his opponent, Xiao Yunzhan – a tall and thin young man with single eyelids and fair skin, whose appearance was very popular with young female fans.
...
In another lounge, Xiao Yunzhan was discussing tactics with the club's team in a tense manner, yet he seemed somewhat distracted.
The club's coach patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Zhan, what's the matter?"
The young man was well-liked in the club, always humble and eager to learn, biting the bullet and completing even the toughest training tasks assigned by the coach.
Being absent-minded while discussing tactics before the match was something that had never happened before.
Xiao Yunzhan smiled, "I'm fine. Coach, there's no need to continue with the planning. It's not going to be of any use."
"You..." The coach was at a loss for words.
Xiao Yunzhan went on, "If Chen Gu has fully recovered, no matter what we plan it's useless; we're definitely no match for him. If his physical condition really is an issue, all I need to do is use my usual skirmishing tactics, and I'll surely beat him."
The coach wanted to say more, but Xiao Yunzhan waved him off, "You all go out. I want to be alone and quiet for a while before the competition."
"Alright," the coach agreed somewhat helplessly. Although Xiao Yunzhan's behavior today was a bit odd, many players did indeed like to adjust their mindset in solitude before the match.
With a wave of his hand, the coach led everyone out.
Xiao Yunzhan closed the door, gently swiped his hand in front of him, and opened a chat window.
There was already a line of text:
Number 21, are you ready to give this dirty world a huge shock?
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yunzhan's lips, and a sense of unprecedented comfort filled his heart. He swiftly replied:
I shall initiate the Purification of this world!
Then, he closed the chat window and sent out a few more messages: Are you all ready?!
Soon came a slew of responses: Let's shock the world together!
...
Chen Gu's match was naturally scheduled for last, even though people generally believed that his opponent wasn't qualified to be the finale just yet.
The preceding matches were also spectacular. Chen Gu watched all of the matches from his private box and realized that the Behemoth Alliance indeed was full of talent. Many of the players' tactics were unique, and he learned a few tricks as well.
When his turn came to appear, the atmosphere in the stadium instantly soared. Amidst the cheers, Chen Gu waved his arms as he entered the ring.
Across from him, Xiao Yunzhan watched him with a smile. Chen Gu made eye contact for a moment and felt something was off, but he couldn't quite pinpoint why he had this feeling.
But with the battle about to start, there was no time to dwell on it. He and Xiao Yunzhan nodded to each other, then turned and entered their respective connectors.
"CLANG!"
"CLANG!"
The doors of the cages on both sides opened, and the Combat Rooster was the first to roar out, while the opposing Quad-Headed Serpent Elephant remained still.
Cheers erupted all around.
Xiao Yunzhan's coaching team turned pale. Usually, this indicated the behemoth sensed the opponent was stronger and was scared before the fight had even begun.
But at this point, the behemoth would have been mind-linked with the player, with the main control no longer in the behemoth's hands. Players would not be afraid to fight or afraid to appear because they knew that any injuries would be to the behemoth, not themselves.
The reason for this was a deep-seated fear in the subconscious mind of the behemoth, causing it to wrestle the player for control of the body, leading to a delayed entry!
Once such a situation occurred, it meant the player could not fully control the behemoth, and the two could not work together in harmony. This match might as well not be fought, as defeat was certain.
On the stage of behemoth battles, this was very rare, but every time it happened, the side that hesitated to fight was bound to lose.
The audience, who were eager to see Chen Gu's condition after rumors of his "health issues," were now faced with this situation: were they about to witness a victory without a fight?
The ferocious Combat Rooster continued its roaring, violently stomping on the ground of the ring, creating a thunderous vibration.
Finally, a massive figure appeared slowly and reluctantly from the opposite cage. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
The Quad-Headed Serpent Elephant had an odd body. It resembled a gigantic elephant, but with four long, python-like "trunks" on its "head." Each trunk ended in a fierce snake head dripping with venomous fangs.
Each appearance of the Quad-Headed Serpent Elephant had been ferocious and arrogant, but today it seemed languid and weak.
Moving its massive body, the Quad-Headed Serpent Elephant finally entered the ring and, as usual, raised its four huge heads to the sky, spraying venom like rain from its mouths.
This was its entrance ceremony and also a tactic. The venom would vaporize and merge into the air around it, acting as a nerve-paralyzing agent for biological species. As the battle progressed, the poison would slowly take effect.
In such matches, the ring would raise an energy shield to separate the inside from the outside and protect the audience.
After the match, all poison gas would be extracted from the ring.
By this time, the energy shield was already up. However, just as the Combat Rooster roared and charged towards the Quad-Headed Serpent Elephant, there was a sudden LOUD BANG on the edge of the ring. An energy generator had exploded into smithereens.
