“Andrei, are you suffering? Hehe…” Dark golden hair swayed as Hilrena’s movements grew wilder. Her face, from her chest to her neck and finally her cheeks, turned into a tempting rosy red, as she let out a tinkling laugh: “Who told you to betray me back then? Andrei, when you betrayed me, I told you that I would make you regret it for the rest of your life!”
The sound became increasingly cloying towards the end, as if it had turned into water.
Silena felt a sudden alertness: What’s wrong with my voice? Why am I getting so emotional? No, something isn’t right…
Before she could react, Zhang Wen, who was pinned beneath her and was supposed to have lost all resistance, smirked with a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, he thrust his hips upward with force.
“Ahh!” Syrrena let out a cry, her body stiffening abruptly like a swan struck by an arrow. Something hot and hard had pierced the most shameful part of her. Her blue eyes widened in disbelief. How was it possible? Andrei should have been rendered immobile by the potent aphrodisiac she had given him; he should have been enduring the torment of desire, unable to act. How could he…?
But the facts were right in front of her—Zhang Wen had turned the tables and successfully taken control of her body!
A scorching, tingling sensation spread from her lower body, carrying a fiery desire that nearly consumed Syrrena in an instant.
“Wuwu… how could this be? No… it’s impossible!” She braced one hand against Zhang Wen’s chest, while wildly grabbing her golden hair with the other. Her body convulsed and trembled from the intense stimulation. Zhang Wen slowly extended his hands, grasping her perky buttocks and kneading them firmly. His hands then moved up along her slender waist to her smooth back, pulling her tightly into his embrace, entwining their bodies passionately.
Silena absentmindedly bit her index finger, unaware as transparent drool trickled from the corner of her mouth. She felt Zhang Wen’s body like an erupting volcano, with endless waves of heat bursting through the part of him that invaded her, igniting her own body.
Heaven, how could this happen?! How could it come to this?!
The onslaught of desire robbed her of the ability to think; even with her supreme power, she was rendered impotent under the spell of her cravings.
Zhang Wen let out a long breath; he had finally succeeded. The aphrodisiac administered by the Red Scorpion Woman was too potent, and even the Spring Water Technique couldn’t expel it from his body. However, the Red Scorpion Woman unexpectedly tearing open their lower bodies and rubbing them together gave Zhang Wen an opportunity. Although the Spring Water Technique couldn’t eliminate the aphrodisiac, it could transfer the drug’s effects into Xiluanna’s body through energy transfer, taking advantage of their physical union.
Zhang Wen swiftly flipped over, pinning Xiluanna beneath him. This woman had shown him no mercy just moments ago. Now that he had seized control, he was determined to give her an unforgettable lesson in return.
Watching Syrrena sob and lose control, her hips instinctively thrusting and grinding, Zhang Wen lowered his head and captured her lips in a kiss, beginning a new wave of passion.
Hirayna would never have imagined that things would turn out this way.
Originally a hunter herself, she had now become Zhang Wen’s prey, left to be plucked and savored by him…
Two hours later, Zhang Wen brought the battle to an end. Wave after wave of electric-like pleasure sent Hellena soaring into the clouds and then plunging into the depths, repeatedly tossing her about on the crest of the waves until she lost all ability to think. Her mind gradually regained clarity, bit by bit, but her body felt limp and utterly devoid of strength.
Now, she couldn’t even talk about taking revenge on Zhang Wen; she didn’t even have the strength to sit up. The afterglow of her climax left a deep flush across her cheeks and breasts, her chest heaving rapidly. From her lower abdomen to her fingertips, subtle spasms still trembled. The electrifying sensation had not yet faded away.
Watching Zhang Wen rise off her body looking very relieved, Hilrena’s cheeks burned with intense embarrassment, and the overwhelming humiliation brought tears to her eyes.
She was an over-tier expert. Except for the tears she shed twenty years ago when Silver Fox Andre betrayed her, she hadn’t tasted tears for the past two decades. She never thought she would cry for this man again today.
“Go ahead and kill me if you dare, or you’ll regret it,” she said, turning her head away from Zhang Wen, her voice filled with icy coldness.
Zhang Wen shook his head and reached out to gently caress the delicate, blushing cheek of this powerful woman. “Back in my hometown, there’s an old saying: ‘One night as husband and wife, a hundred days of affection.’ Now that things have gone this far between us, why don’t we just forget about whatever unpleasantness was in the past?” Perhaps it was just his nature, but Zhang Wen could never bring himself to kill a woman with whom he had been intimate, even if she bore deep hatred toward him.
Hilrena closed her eyes. “The taste of tears will always be bitter, and my hatred for you will never change.”
“Whatever you want,” Zhang Wen said, giving her a deep look before leaping off the giant scorpion and running into the depths of the jungle.
“You will regret this…” A cold voice resolutely came from Hirlena’s lips.
…
On the Star Moon, Hassan took a deep puff of his cigar and said to the man in blue, “Everything going smoothly?”
“Yes.” Anthony nodded, tapping the telepathic communicator on his ear, and gave him a nod. “Besides the ones we arranged, these initiates will also have their own vendettas, and there are other factions targeting each other as well. After this round of elimination, the final participants will basically be set.”
“Will our own people not be affected?”
“There won’t be any problem with those few high-level experts there,” said Anthony, bowing slightly.
“Well, I feel assured when you handle things.”
Hassan exhaled a smoke ring in satisfaction.
…
In the dense forest on the island, Bateng Ping waved his hand and sent a fierce beast resembling a lion flying away. He turned to Yinel and Karite and said, “That’s enough.”
Carrie stuck out her tongue at Iniel, Kai, and Si. The protector that her father had found was indeed very strong. She wondered how Mr. Zhang Wen was doing now.
Although the cute girl and Eneal were annoyed by Zhang Wen’s having his arms around two girls, they still couldn’t help but worry about him.
…
It was now completely dark, and the light within the primeval forest became even dimmer.
Zhang Wen held a long sword in his hand, remaining vigilant.
In this primeval forest, various dangers could be encountered at any moment. Just now, several fierce wild beasts had already rushed out, but were casually dealt with by Zhang Wen.
After finding a relatively secluded bush, Zhang Wen used his long sword to clear an empty space about half a person’s height, then squeezed his body inside. From the earlier battle, both his mental focus and combat energy were greatly depleted, and he needed a good rest.
On one hand, he held his breath; on the other, he remained alert to the surroundings.
In the forest, humans are far more terrifying than wild beasts. Just now, Zhang Wen had already witnessed several contestants from the ship being taken down by hidden enemies. Others were betrayed and sabotaged by those standing right beside them.
Competition is ever-present. As long as one can pass the second round of testing, Hassan has promised that the substantial reward will also double. Many people, eager to secure their own chance to win, now see others as enemies who must be eliminated.
In addition, there are the warriors who already exist within the Infinite Arena, each possessing astonishing strength. There might also be spies and assassins arranged by certain nobles. Involving the position of the Overlord of the Southern Border, power will always be a game these people never tire of playing.
Zhang Wen originally planned to roast the hunted beasts for dinner, but he changed his mind after previously witnessing a tenth-stage cultivator, whom he had seen on the ship, being ambushed and instantly killed by someone while trying to start a fire. Making a fire in this dark jungle is like marking a target on yourself—it’s far too dangerous.
Raw meat is inedible. Although Zhang Wen remembered something called sashimi, the bloody raw meat of wild beasts was simply too fishy. He would rather endure the hunger and thirst. After all, it was just a twenty-four-hour trial—just grit his teeth and get through it.
Zhang Wen turned his focus inward, examining the condition of his body. During the day, the Spring Water Method had surged out of control once, and previously he had been affected by the desire-inducing drug from the Red Scorpion Woman, Syllena, which had nearly caused him to lose control completely. Thinking back, today had indeed been absurd. Looking inward, he observed that the Spring Water Method was now circulating normally through its designated meridians in its regular cyclical pattern.
Zhang Wen focused all his mental energy and discovered that the energy from the Spring Water Technique had blended with the silver energy of the combat skill. Compared to its original glaring silver hue, this merged energy now appeared much gentler, bringing an indescribable sense of tranquility. However, as this energy flowed through the meridian connection points—those legendary acupoints—it seemed to accumulate an immense amount of stored power.
The acupoints along each meridian all seemed to emit rippling lights, like stars in the sky. This was something that had never happened before.
Zhang Wen couldn’t quite figure out whether his current situation could be considered an upgrade of Spring Water Qi. Judging from his strength, there hadn’t been a significant increase. His Spring Water Qi was completely different from all other battle energy techniques in this world, and there were no precedents to reference. Anyway, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing, so Zhang Wen decided not to dwell on it for now. However, he had a vague feeling that fooling around with women might be greatly beneficial to his cultivation method.
Especially after being intimate with the Red Scorpion Girl, Syllena, I felt the Spring Water Qi energy flowing through my meridians had become somewhat more refined. Could it be that having relations with a powerful woman actually benefits me a little?
Zhang Wen shook his head, his mind reviewing the recent battles. He cross-referenced various techniques from his memories with practical applications. Just then, a few miles away, the forest suddenly erupted with intense battle energy and flames—an unmistakable massive energy outburst, indicating that at least two high-level experts were engaged in a fierce confrontation.
A roar like that of a raging lion came from afar. Zhang Wen, no longer bothering to conceal his presence, suddenly sprang out from the grass.
That voice, could it be the voice of Thor Omega?
Who is the person fighting against Thor?
After a brief moment of thought, Zhang Wen rushed toward the battlefield at his top speed.
“Boom! Boom!!” Explosions of blazing light and combat energy continuously erupted, like a volcanic eruption spewing fire. The deafening blasts likely alerted every powerful expert across the entire forest and the Infinite Arena Island.
Powerful auras surged toward the battlefield, some raging and domineering, others concealed and obscure, still others strange and eerie. Eyes glimmered in the darkness, one pair after another.
The footsteps, some light and nimble, others heavy and steady, moved forward by leaping through the grass.
A few minutes later, Zhang Wen swiftly climbed up a towering tree to observe the two sides engaged in battle.
Throughout the primeval forest, multiple explosions of colliding energies had already carved out a barren area dozens of meters wide. Thin trails of smoke curled upward, carrying the scent of burnt residue.
In the empty arena, the cloak of Thor Omega flared wildly. His body was enveloped in brilliant battle auras that sparkled like stars, exuding a mighty and overwhelming presence, brimming with an unstoppable aura of slaughter.
Omega’s hair stood on end, flying wildly, and his blue pupils glared at the enemy like an enraged lion.
Standing twenty meters away from Omega was the mysterious young man Zhang Wen had seen aboard the Star Moon. His body also erupted with intense starlight, surrounded by rippling arcs of blue electricity.
Its momentum was not only a match for Omega’s but even surpassed it. Even the dense, umbrella-like foliage overhead was torn open by an invisible force, creating a swirling vortex-shaped hole. The surging energy shot straight up into the sky, forming a twisting, serpentine column of light.
This momentum is not only beyond the super class, but it’s even approaching the level of a realm ruler!
All the powerful figures hiding in the shadows were greatly intimidated. They cautiously observed the mysterious young man from the darkness, taking care not to reveal their presence, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
This unexpected battle has already captured the attention of all the powerful figures on the island, whether they were aiming to participate in the contest for dominance in the southern region, chasing the bounty, or simply martial arts fanatics eager to experience the thrill of fighting against formidable opponents.
Zhang Wen’s gaze shifted slightly, and he noticed another familiar figure at an angle between the Thunder God Omega and the mysterious young man.
Agate, the Flame Demon, is known as the weakest among the transcendent ranks. Although his control over power is the weakest among the transcendent, his combat energy talent is genuine. Crimson, flame-like combat energy stars envelop him, surging straight up like roaring flames.
The dazzling red beam radiated the intense combat aura of a supreme-tier powerhouse. However, Agate appeared rather disheveled at the moment, with his clothes torn in multiple places, revealing wounds inflicted by the battle energy.
No wonder Omega has been able to hold out against that mysterious youth until now; it’s likely also due to Agate’s involvement. Between Agate and the Thunder God, Ge Luo, Marianne, and Rofrei were kneeling on the ground, half-injured and gasping for breath.
Zhang Wen slightly furrowed his brows, trying to guess what had just happened.
A strange silence fell over the area, as if it were the calm before a storm.
Numerous powerful figures, secretly observing from the surrounding darkness and each harboring their own intentions, all held their breath and dared not utter a sound in the face of the mysterious youth’s immense power.
Apart from the faint sound of the wind, only the ever-clashing battle auras and the crackling blue electric arcs around the mysterious youth could be heard.
“What’s wrong, Omega? I can’t sense even a trace of killing intent from you. That’s not like you at all,” the mysterious young man said with a smile, stepping forward and beckoning toward Omega with a flick of his finger. “Your apprentices have all been injured by me. Won’t you fight back?”
As he took a step forward, an invisible pressure suddenly intensified, as if an unseen force of immense atmospheric pressure had abruptly pressed down on the shoulders of Flame Demon Agate and Thunder God Omega.
At the same time, both of their expressions changed drastically, their bodies trembled and sank slightly, and their feet actually sank halfway into the ground.
In contrast, the battle aura of the mysterious youth became even more dazzling and beautiful. Rings of flame-like blossoms bloomed, compressing the imposing presence and battle auras of Thor Omega and Agat, the Demon of Flames, causing them to shrink inward slightly.
“Agate, if you want to join the fun, come at me together. I don’t mind taking on both of you at once.” The mysterious young man’s face was filled with excitement, as if he were a martial arts fanatic who had just discovered his most coveted secret manual.
“If you’re not going to make a move, then I’ll go first,” he said with a smile, his eyes gleaming in the dark night. He stepped forward again with his right foot.
“Rumbling…”
Invisible battle auras pressed against each other. Omega let out a muffled grunt, his face turning pale and unwell-looking. Agate’s expression, in contrast, became flushed red.
The two individuals were locked and oppressed by the mysterious youth’s aura. As the pressure surged dramatically, they trembled once again and sank half a step deeper.
The powerful auras of one strong and two weak individuals finally clashed head-on, emitting explosive sounds as they pressed against each other. Intense, blazing light erupted where their battle energies met.
The most painful part was not Omega and Agate, but the three apprentices of Thunder God, who were stuck in the middle and too weak to escape.
Neither Marianne nor Gro, Lofley could withstand the terrifying pressure waves generated by the clashing force fields of such powerful adversaries. The relentless pressure battered their bodies, causing them immense pain. It felt as if they were trapped within an immense atmospheric pressure zone, with blood streaming from their ears, nostrils, and mouths.
The trauma intensified as the mysterious young man’s expanding battle aura and imposing pressure continued to grow.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Wen could no longer wait. In any other situation or involving other people, he might have hesitated, but Agate the Flame Demon was his friend, and Lufele, who was in danger, was his woman. He couldn’t possibly stand by and watch his friend and lover face peril.
I hope that method will be effective!
A contemplative gleam flickered in Zhang Wen’s eyes. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly erupted with intense starlight, pushing his battle energy to its peak, then soared into the arena.
He was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, shattering the delicate balance that had barely been maintained.
Numerous powerful experts, secretly observing this battle, were astonished in their hearts. A Saint-tier expert—what was he trying to accomplish by rushing out like that? Was he seeking death by interrupting a battle among three Transcendent-tier experts?
The atmosphere was extremely eerie.
People outside the scene watched with amused smiles as Zhang Wen suddenly dashed out. Inside, Mariann and Loofleur were both slightly moved, but they suppressed their thoughts and dared not speak. In fact, they had already lost their voices. The immense pressure was almost suffocating them.
Zhang Wen stood at the center of a confrontation between three supreme experts, finally experiencing firsthand their immense power and terror. His body felt as if trapped in the eye of a storm, with endless waves of battle energy continuously crashing down on him. His own battle aura seemed as fragile as a flickering candle flame before these three, on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
“Zhang Wen, why are you here too?” Agate wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at him with wide, curious eyes.
Thor Omega glanced at him as well, but didn’t say anything.
Zhang Wen barely managed to wave at Agate, feeling as if his body were under a gravitational force five or six times its normal weight. Activating the Spring Water Technique to its fullest, he slowly made his way toward Ge Luo and Luo Fulei. He grabbed Ge Luo first, lifted him up, unleashed a burst of combat energy, and hurled him far away, outside the battlefield where the three powerful opponents were confronting each other.
“F*ck, Zhang Wen, you dare throw me, your elder!” came Ge Luo’s loud crash as he hit the ground from afar, along with his furious shout.
Zhang Wen remained unfazed. With his left hand, he picked up Marianne, and with his right, he carried Rofei, safely leading both of them out of the dangerous area.
Those powerful beings who had previously scorned and mocked Zhang Wen for what they thought was his foolish decision to walk into certain death were now all stunned into silence.
Damn, who is this kid? How can he move freely in and out of the three super-tier confrontation battles without even provoking those monsters? It’s just unbelievable.
Putting down the two beauties in his arms, Zhang Wen was about to turn around and go help Agate and Omega when Marianne and Rofleur simultaneously reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Don’t be silly. Going over there with your strength would be a suicide mission,” said Marianne.
“Be careful, don’t take risks!” came a voice filled with slight concern; these were the words of Roufulei.
Zhang Wen nodded at them, gave a reassuring glance, gently pulled his hands away from the two beauties, and turned around to walk once again toward the three people in the middle of the scene.
This time, the mysterious young man, who had remained silent at first, also showed surprise.
“Zhang Wen? Do you also want to join the game of the strong?”
He curled his lips upward, his fingertips gently rubbing his chin. A brilliant blue battle aura, resembling swirling nebulae, surged and expanded around him, generating a ripple of radiant energy.
The first to be affected, Flame Demon Agate and Thunder God Omega both grunted simultaneously, finally unable to withstand his immense power and retreating half a step backward.
The mysterious young man’s power was fully revealed, exuding an aura that was almost kingly!
Zhang Wang was also affected, staggering back several steps before finally regaining his balance. He looked at the mysterious young man with an innocent expression and sighed deeply, “Captain Rémiao! Instead of being busy with your duties in the imperial capital, what brings you here to stir up trouble?”
“Oh oh, you’ve seen through me. I knew it…” The mysterious young man helplessly spread his hands, his face shifting gradually to reveal Remi’s features. The shape-shifting technique was automatically dispelled by him.
“Tasks like that are too boring. My interest is in fighting strong opponents!” For Reimund, battling the Thunder God Omega was second only to fighting the King himself. It wasn’t just because the Thunder God possessed lightning-based combat abilities similar to his own, but also due to the legend of the Thunder God’s fifty-year undefeated streak. He was definitely worth Reimund’s effort.
Of course, he wouldn’t mind including that small fry, Agate the Fire Demon, in the deal; he could take care of them all together.
Actually, Le Miu doesn’t care much about participating in something like the Southern Boundary Champion Tournament; his sole purpose is to challenge those hidden strong opponents.
“Zhang Wen, if you plan to sabotage me, I’ll eliminate you along with the rest,” Laim murmured casually, a faint smile playing on his lips as he lightly flicked his fingernail, as if discussing something utterly trivial.
An invisible murderous intent locked onto Zhang Wen.
