Chapter 692

The next stop recommended by Hei Tian'e Xiao Jie seems to be called…… Weng Faluosī?" Inoue Orihime tilted her head, recalling, "Since it's a place recommended by someone from Yi Ting, it should be safe—at least there shouldn't be an envoy-level threat like Shen Zhu Ri appearing."

——

Aolige was just talking about his disciple Lu Ka; before this, he had been working for Earth Fire, just not in this town.

"Hey, right—Xing definitely hasn't seen Lu Ka kid guarding the ring, has he? Xier, how about you bring our great hero to the fighting club to give it a try?"

Xier had a difficult expression: 'This……'

"What's wrong? Not willing?"

She shook her head: '…No, it's nothing. I'm just afraid Lu Ka guy will come up with something again.'

"Take me, take me!" Xing almost rolled on the ground.

Xier also helplessly raised her forehead: 'Xing, be normal……'

Aolige suddenly realized: 'Oh, I remember… there was once when Lu Ka guarded the ring, and Xier was down there as a spectator. That opponent was as flimsy as paper, and went down after just two punches. Lu Ka kid didn't know what medicine he took wrong, and on the spot he demanded Xier get up and exchange two moves with him……'

"…Let's just leave it at that, boss. I don't want to recall such an embarrassing scene."

"Hahaha, okay! Then I'll stop here. Anyway, that kid is just like this—when the mood hits, he easily gets carried away. But I believe Lu Ka won't make the same mistake twice. So getting back to my earlier suggestion, little girl—you just take Xing to check out the fighting club."

"…Alright, then I'll take you over."

Meanwhile, inside the fighting club.

Inside the octagonal cage, a youth with fiery red hair constantly darted about the ring, always keeping his opponent at the optimal striking distance; his fists were like a sudden storm, repeatedly pounding the opponent's face and torso. The continuous, precise jabs seemed to completely crush the opponent's will, and shortly afterward he gestured with difficulty to the referee outside the ring.

"Stop… stop! I surrender!"

The referee immediately stepped forward, separated the two, and raised the red-haired youth's mechanical arm high.

"Lower… uh, no, friends of Bei Luo Bo Ge! The 1,761st Fighting Ring Champion, having competed thirty times and won twenty-eight, the Panyan Boxing King——Lu Lu Lu Lu Ka!"

——

Marvel Universe.

"Hey! Check this out!"

The Electro Archon Suo Er suddenly sat up straight, forcefully patting the shoulder of the perpetually silent Winter Soldier Ba Ji beside him; upon contacting his signature mechanical arm, it emitted a muffled 'pa-pa' sound.

"This brother also has a mechanical arm just like yours!" Suo Er excitedly pointed at Lu Ka's rather agile figure in the sky canopy, "He looks pretty good at fighting! Ba Ji, whose mechanical arm is stronger, yours or his?"

"Such a boring comparison……" Ba Ji let out a cold snort, his gaze lingering a few seconds longer on Lu Ka's mechanical arm before turning his head expressionlessly, "I've never clashed with him—how would I know?"

"Come on, that was personally designed by my sister——" Hei Bao Te Cha La raised his cup, "Although Bei Luo Bo Ge once had advanced technology, that's all in the past——now I still believe our Wa Ka Da technology is superior."

——

"……Looks like it's over."

Lu Ka also saw Xier and warmly greeted her.

"Another successful ring defense——congratulations, Lu Ka!"

"Thanks, Xier! This person is…… oh, is it Xing, right? I remember you. Did you come specially to watch my match? Then this turnout is really not small. I only won a little boxing match——your deeds are far greater than this. We……"

Before Lu Ka's words even finished, the nearby audience burst into a cheer like a mountain roar and sea tide, in unison calling Lu Ka's name.

"Shall we go outside? The atmosphere here isn't really suitable for talking." Saying this, Lu Ka turned back and waved at his supporting brothers behind him: "See you next time, guys——【Get ready to witness sparks flying!】"

The three walked to a secluded spot outside, feeling Lu Ka's immense popularity; Xier also couldn't help but say in a teasing tone: 'Still as popular as ever, champion.'

Lu Ka, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head: '…You're still mad at me about that, Xier? I just got carried away for a moment……'

"…Of course not, two Earth Fire officials fighting each other in the fighting club—that scene is kinda absurd no matter how you look at it."

"At the time the atmosphere was so heated, the final ended in just a few rounds—I saw everyone was still wanting more, then I just got hot-headed… don't hold a grudge, Xier. Besides, I truly admire your strength, which is why I've always wanted to exchange two moves with you."

The Funeral of Frieren

"Lady Frieren, who do you think won in the end?"

Compared to not being able to see the two fighting, Filien is more curious about the final outcome.

"Probably it's Xi Er, right? And even if two people fought without weapons, Xi Er's speed when she gets serious would be far greater than Lu Ka's." Zan Yin still remembered the scene when Xi Er first saw Bu Luo Ni Ya; the image of the sickle cutting bullets was especially vivid in his memory. Of the few matches Lu Ka ever lost, one was likely inflicted by Xi Er.

Suddenly, Zan Yin noticed that Xiu Ta Er Ke's gaze was a bit dazed, and he curiously waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"Of, of course it's that arm……so cool!" Xiu Ta Er Ke's eyes almost glowed, "Punching people with that iron fist would surely be powerful! I really want an arm like that!"

Zan Yin rubbed his forehead, marveling at how strange the young man's thought process was: "Um…… I really can't figure out what's going on in your head; nobody is born with a mechanical arm, he must have gotten it after becoming disabled. If you had such an arm, unless you're willing to first chop off your own right hand——"

Xiu Ta Er Ke's face changed, and he instantly became much more obedient.

"……Then forget it, I think the flesh is fine as well."

——

""……I don't like fighting with a playful attitude, so don't count on it." Xi Er looked around the empty surroundings, "Come to think of it, you specially dragged us outside—do you have something to say?""

""Oh, exactly! To be honest, I'm currently preparing a plan……""

""Plan?""

""Yes——to be precise, it's my personal training plan. I want you two to join me, to together witness Lu Ka——the fighting champion of Panyan Town——his next stage of growth!""】
