In less than a fraction of a second, ten shadows moved at once.Rank 27 charged first. His chain shot forward like a steel dragon, spiraling at terrifying speed, sealing off Alex’s movement from the front. The air seemed to split apart, the sharp whistling of metal piercing the ears.At the same time, Rank 31 vanished.Truly vanished.His body turned into a streak of shadow, reappearing behind Alex with his elbow raised, Qi concentrated at its tip like a skull-crushing hammer.The dagger-wielding woman at Rank 34 also slid low from the right, her blade reflecting a cold glint as it aimed straight for the artery at Alex’s neck.Three directions.No signal.Not even the slightest space left for Alex to move.And yet… at that same instant, Alex had already moved.He merely shifted his footing. The step wasn’t wide—almost lazy.Rank 27’s chain coiled and smashed into empty ground. The steel arena floor cracked in a long fracture.Rank 31’s elbow struck nothing but afterimage.Rank 34’s bl

The atmosphere, which had merely been heated before, was now truly boiling.The auras of the ten fighters began to collide. Layers of Qi pressure filled the arena, making the air feel as heavy as if it were crushed beneath a mountain. Some prisoners in the lower stands even unconsciously stepped back.Rank 27 swung his chain, the metal whistling sharply as it sliced through the air.“You think our abilities are that low?”Rank 31 let out a thin laugh. “He’s clearly looking down on us… If he thinks he can trample our pride, then let’s beat him until he can’t stand up again.”The dagger-wielding woman at Rank 34 licked the tip of her blade. “Exactly… Today, I want to be the first to carve that arrogant face of yours.”Murmurs and shouts echoed around the arena.“He’s gone too far!”“Ten at once? He’s courting death!”“This isn’t Block Three anymore! Ranks one to fifty are ruled by monsters from the ten prison blocks! This Alex really doesn’t know his place!”But Alex only smiled faintly

The reddish-brown aura around the Block Three man exploded even more violently than before. The muscles in his arms and neck swelled, veins bulging like tree roots forcing their way out of the ground. The iron floor beneath his feet trembled, thin cracks spreading like a delicate web.“Now you die!” he roared.He stomped and shot forward.A burst of wind swept across the arena. His right fist drove straight toward Alex’s face, carrying enough Qi pressure to shatter a normal jaw in a single blow.But Alex remained standing. He did not retreat—he did not even blink.At the final second before the fist touched his face, Alex’s body moved with sharp precision. His shoulder rotated slightly, his body shifting half a step—just enough for the punch to miss his skin by a finger’s breadth.At the same time, his hand rose. Two fingers pressed precisely against the inner side of his opponent’s wrist.The pressure felt light—yet it was enough to disrupt the man’s Qi flow. His red aura flickered c

Alex did not immediately move toward the arena.He stopped at the edge of the iron circle, then slightly turned his head toward the upper tribune—not toward the other participants, but toward the row of luxurious seats where the elite families sat leisurely, weighing profit and loss.“Wait,” Alex said flatly.His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to make Juana turn his head, and several whispers in the tribune faded.Juana raised a thin brow. “You object?”“No,” Alex replied calmly. “A condition.”That single word immediately stirred a ripple.The burly man from Block Three sneered. “Are you afraid?”Alex glanced at him—just a glance, yet it was enough to make the man’s grin stiffen.Alex turned back toward the tribune. “If this fight is going to be entertainment,” he said quietly, “then I want to play by the audience’s rules.”Juana narrowed his eyes. “You mean… betting?”Alex nodded.“I’ll bet on myself.”The arena fell silent for a split second.“Ten billion dollars.”An

Alex let his final words hang in the air like a verdict not yet delivered. No one dared to move.The narrow corridor was filled with held breaths, cold sweat, and gazes that had finally lost their fire. The scar-faced man clenched his fist, then slowly loosened it. The iron chain in his hand fell to the floor with a sharp sound.Clang.One by one, the inmates of Block One stepped back. There were no heroic shouts. No follow-up attacks. Only the bitter realization that they had just stood before something on an entirely different level.Alex did not pursue them. He did not punish them further. He simply turned around and continued walking.The days after that passed in silence.There were no more open provocations. No more foolish challenges. Even Madam Liora held herself back, merely observing from a distance with a smile now filled with calculation.Alex went on with his routine.In the morning, Qi breathing training in the quietest corner of his cell. At noon, strengthening his body

Alex slowly lifted his head.His gaze pierced the distance between the stone floor of Block Two and the iron balcony where Madam Liora stood. There was no excessive emotion on his face—no visible anger, no explicit disgust—yet the pressure emanating from his eyes made several guards unconsciously hold their breath.“Satisfied?” Alex repeated softly.That single word fell coldly. He stepped forward once more. The atmosphere turned silent in an instant.“I did not touch them.”Madam Liora’s smile did not fade immediately. Instead, she let out a soft, graceful laugh, as though she had heard an amusing joke.“Ah… you truly are interesting. Not many men can refuse beauty, especially in a place like this.” She raised one hand, gesturing toward the surrounding cells.“Look at them. Hungry. Pressured. Desperate,” she continued calmly.“In Dragon Prison, beauty is currency. A beautiful woman always has value.”Madam Liora leaned slightly forward, her gaze sharp yet calculating.“And in the dec
