Chapter 61
The arena erupted into a chaotic symphony of confusion and awe.The strawberry-scented smoke began to drift upward, curling around the stone pillars like a ghostly dancer.Inside that pink veil, the situation had descended into pure, slapstick tragedy.Master Shen was flailing, his massive broadsword cutting through empty air as he desperately tried to defend himself against the perceived ghost of his own ineptitude.His feet, usually as steady as mountain roots, had tangled hopelessly with the frayed tassel of his own ornate scabbard.With a final, desperate heave of his shoulders, he lost his center of gravity entirely.He tilted backward, his massive form describing a clumsy arc through the thick, fruity mist.Dimas, watching from behind a thin veil of pink vapor, gripped his fan so tightly his knuckles turned white.He dared not breathe, fearing that the slightest movement would draw the gaze of the falling titan.He squeezed his eyes shut, listening to the world wait for the impa
Chapter 60
The stadium was so quiet that the sound of a stray sparrow flapping its wings in the rafters sounded like a crack of thunder.Master Shen stood on the opposite side of the ring, his knuckles white as he gripped the hilt of his massive broadsword.He was staring at Dimas, searching for a flaw, a tremor, or even a blink that might betray the Ancestor’s hidden killing intent.Dimas, however, was currently staring at his own wrist, his fingers frantically tapping at the air as he navigated the glowing interface of his system.He had activated the "Glitchy Laugh-Track Generator," and now he was waiting for the results with the nervous anticipation of a man defusing a bomb.The system pinged with a cheerful, metallic chime that sounded entirely out of place in such a grave, martial atmosphere.Feature active. Sound projection initiated: 100% volume.A sudden, sharp burst of canned laughter erupted from nowhere, echoing through the rafters of the grand arena.It was a jagged, electronic soun
Chapter 59
The silence in the arena had reached a level of intensity that made the stone floor seem to vibrate beneath their feet.Every single spectator in the grandstands held their breath, their eyes darting between the legendary, motionless Ancestor and the stoic, iron-willed Master Shen.Dimas swallowed hard, his throat feeling as dry as the scorched earth in the canyon where he had first arrived.His heart was hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird desperate for the sky.He needed an edge, something to break the deadlock before he collapsed from pure, unadulterated terror.His gaze flickered downward toward his wrist, where the faint, holographic shimmer of the Customer Support interface danced in the air.The screen flickered, displaying a notification in bright, urgent text that blinked in time with his racing heartbeat.System Alert: User distress detected. Conflict escalation imminent.Feature Unlocked: The Glitchy Laugh-Track Generator.Current Energy Level: Sufficient for one
Chapter 58
The air in the Grand Arena had grown heavy, thick with the weight of unsaid things and the lingering floral scent of the lavender foam.Dimas stood in the center of the ring, his light-up sneakers flashing a periodic, rhythmically annoying neon-blue that cut through the shadows.Across from him, Master Shen of the Golden Mountain Sect remained perfectly still.Shen was a man of terrifying proportions, his shoulders as wide as a doorframe and his broadsword resting against his back like a sharpened slab of obsidian.He stood with his feet planted firmly, his breathing deep and measured, a classic stance of someone who had spent decades mastering the art of killing.Dimas, on the other hand, was currently focusing entirely on not fainting.His knees felt like overcooked noodles, and his mind was a swirling void of panic.He clutched his paper fan—a gift from a souvenir shop that he had found in his room—and tried to look as if he were holding a blade of infinite cosmic power.He shifted
Chapter 32
The silence that followed Tessa’s admission wasn’t the calm of peace; it was the suffocating, heavy stillness of a room where the oxygen was being slowly sucked out by a vacuum. Elias stopped his pacing, one boot hovering mid-air as if he were afraid the floorboards would give way beneath the weight of the realization. They were not merely fugitives; they were bait. And the fisherman wasn’t just waiting for a bite—he was reeling them in, one centimeter of steel cable at a time.Roderick didn’t look up from the drive. His fingers, calloused and scarred from years of tactical maneuvering, brushed against the plastic casing with a clinical detachment that terrified Elias more than any outburst of rage could have."If they are already at the table," Roderick murmured, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that seemed to vibrate in the moldy drywall, "then we don't have the luxury of finishing the meal."He stood abruptly, the chair screeching against the uneven floor. He shoved the drive into hi
Chapter 57
The grand stadium had finally fallen into a strange, rhythmic silence.The lavender foam, that bizarre byproduct of Dimas’s accidental purification ritual, slowly began to dissipate under the heat of the afternoon sun.It left behind a lingering, flowery scent that felt completely at odds with the lingering smell of ozone and sweat.The spectators remained perched on their stone benches, their eyes fixed on the central platform.They were waiting for something to happen, something that would define the legacy of this tournament.The Black Lotus assassin had been subdued, dragged away by the tournament guards who were still shaking from the encounter.Dimas stood at the center of the ring, his polyester pajamas sticking to his back in the humid mountain air.He felt the weight of a thousand gazes pressing down on him like a physical mountain.To them, he was the mysterious Ancestor who could turn poison into scented clouds of purity.To himself, he was just a guy who really, really wan
