Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up

Chapter 966 Dark Horse

Chapter 966 Dark Horse

After Lu Yu finished the first round of battle, he walked down the arena and returned to the preparation area.

For a moment, everyone was discussing the battle that had just happened.

To them, this battle was the birth of a dark horse, which surprised them greatly.

Then, the second and third rounds continued.

However, there were still quite a few people who looked at Lu Yu curiously.

They were all trying to guess where Lu Yu was from, as he didn't look like a local.

As his appearance was very different from theirs, it seemed that Lu Yu had come from a very far place.

What they were most interested in was Lu Yu's strength and his performance in his earlier battle.

He had crushed Twilight Killer like an ant.

Although they didn't know Lu Yu, they knew Twilight Killer.

The Twilight Killer had carried out assassination quests for countless prominent families. He had outstanding strength and assassination skills; he had always been a deadly assassin in West Court City.

Everyone knew his name, but they rarely saw him in person.

This was the first time this many people had seen him in the open, and they did not expect him to die here.

Soon, the consecutive rounds of battles ended, and these battles also diverted everyone's attention.

Immediately after, the host went on stage and shouted, "Next up is..."

"Little Dragon versus Armored Madman!"

After his announcement ended, the entire place was lively, discussing this upcoming battle.

"He's going up again. Armored Madman is average, but his defense is strong. I don't think there's any suspense in the outcome, right?"

"That's obvious. He killed the Twilight Killer in seconds, so what's there to think about against the Armored Madman?"

"There's nothing to watch in this match. Little Dragon will definitely win."

"But it's strange. How can someone this strong have such a ridiculous nickname like the Little Dragon? Are all the big shots so casual?"

"So what if he takes on the nickname of Little Dragon? He can still kill anyone here. It's good enough as long as he's stronger than anyone."

...

At the same time, the members of the Orlando family sat in the VIP seats.

There were five people from the Orlando family, old and young.

Sitting in the middle was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties. He was the head of the Orlando family in West Court City, Quide Orlando.

Quide had a robust figure, and he looked like a small mountain as he sat in the VIP seats.

He rested his chin on one hand and looked at Lu Yu's figure curiously. "Where did this guy come from? He looks very strong."

"Do you need to care about his strength? In any case, his final outcome is death."

Sitting next to him was his wife, Mary.

"If he succeeds in getting first place, it'll be interesting. We were expecting many other candidates for the first place, but we might be all wrong."

Mary smiled helplessly. "It doesn't matter. If he can defeat so many strong, young cultivators in West Court City and become the number one, it will prove that his potential is stronger. By then, the potions he produces will be more effective."

"Look, he looks to be in his twenties. He's so young, but he's so powerful. His talent is definitely something special."

Mary licked her red lips as she spoke, her eyes filled with greed.

At this moment, Lu Yu stepped into the arena and stood in a corner, facing his opponent.

Armored Madman stepped onto the stage. He was wearing heavy armor, and with every step he took, the ground would tremble.

He looked at Lu Yu and shouted, "Little Dragon. It's surprising that you killed the Twilight Killer, but you'll be the unlucky one here! Watch how I deal with you!"

After he shouted, he walked toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu estimated that his opponent's strength was only at the early stage of Diamond Rank. He could easily defeat him with one hand, and he did not need to use his dragon claws.

Therefore, Lu Yu placed one hand behind his back.

"You want to fight me with one hand? You're sure arrogant. In that case, I'll teach you a lesson!"

With that, Armored Madman launched a fierce attack on Lu Yu.

But as he was wearing heavy armor, his speed was extremely slow.

In Lu Yu's eyes, he was no different from a snail crawling at him.

Standing in this arena, Lu Yu felt like a maxed-out hero returning to the novice village.

He may have to fight the Demon Blood Lord to actually feel the pressure.

Lu Yu stepped forward and punched the Armored Madman in front of him.

Lu Yu's speed was beyond everyone's expectations. In their eyes, they didn't even know Lu Yu had rushed up before Armored Madman.

Armored Madman did not even have the time to react before he was sent flying by Lu Yu's punch.

Bang!

Armored Madman smashed heavily into the stone pillar at the edge of the arena.

With a violent, muffled bang, obvious cracks appeared on his heavy armor.

In the next moment, the breastplate on his body exploded into pieces.

The Armored Madman kneeled on the ground, spitting out blood.

He was heavily injured and could not continue fighting, feeling tearing pain in his internal organs.

If this kind of internal injury were not treated in time, it would definitely take his life!

"I... I admit defeat. Your strength is truly terrifying. With just one punch, you've seriously injured me. In West Court City, there aren't many people who can injure me with one punch."

"But you did it. You do have the power to convince me of my defeat."

He bowed his head to Lu Yu in submission and did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.

Lu Yu saw that his attitude was submissive, so he decided to forget about it.

"Since the outcome has been decided, you should get out of here. Hurry up and go back to treat yourself. Otherwise, you won't be able to fight again."

Armored Madman stood up and bowed to Lu Yu.

"Thank you for your great kindness, Little... Mr. Dragon, I believe that you will be the champion of this year's martial arts tournament."

"Although... the outcome of getting first place isn't good, I still hope that you can get a good ranking."

"What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked. "Getting first place isn't good?"

"That is to say, all the previous winners of the martial arts tournament have disappeared in succession. Even if they didn't disappear, they must have met with some kind of accident or were hunted down by enemies."

"After all, as you know, being in first place is too ostentatious. It's easy for others to remember you."

Lu Yu nodded slightly. He had a rough idea of the situation.

These so-called accidents were most likely man-made by the Orlando family.
