Chapter 19: Arena Matches [C19]

[You successfully face-slapped more than 100 peoples!]

[You obtained an achievement: face-slapper maniac]

[You obtained one BS point!]

[You now have 21 BS points!]

Ignoring the message of the system and the happiness that came with it, Shu Himo felt the need to act cool: "Nameless cocky old man got punished. Never underestimate your opponent. Next?"

The frozen situation restarted with a comment from Shu Himo, which gave the audience, even more chills as they were underestimating Shu Himo. Never will they underestimate someone ever again.

The Announcer finally calmed down and proceeded to continue the matches: "Enter the next contestant! The battle will now be Shu Himo vs Patrick Veridas, a middle-aged tiger-man at Meridians Strengthening phase!"

The contestants can't watch the previous fights to ensure fairness, but noticing the way the announcer said only Shu Himo's name, and not the cultivation level Patrick immediately knew that his opponent had won the fight before, but seeing it was a child at Blood Strengthening phase he was startled, a child won a fight?

"Don't worry and don't hold back, I will not kill you, we will end this fight with a decisive hit." Not wanting to kill a promising child he said immediately that he would go soft on him. While it was a mistake to underestimate someone only for age and cultivation phase, Shu Himo had a good impression of this guy, so he decided to not kill him.

Hearing the security from Patrick, the audience wanted to warn him to beware but none of them dared to: after how they ridiculed Shu Himo they now feared he would take revenge on them!

"Now I hope both contenders are ready because the match will start!" Hearing the typical phrase, Patrick as an experienced warrior of this arena immediately focused on Shu Himo, only to see him taking a small step forward, and instantly found him to be in front of him, startled, he tried to jump backward but he then noticed that Shu Himo was not in front of him anymore, he then felt the heaviness of a sword in his shoulder, aiming for his neck and a hand pressing his back.

"As you seemed a good guy I decided to not kill you. But the next time do not underestimate others."

The audience was surprised: Shu Himo did not kill his opponent! Does that mean that he is a good child? So he will not get revenge on them? They all breathed a sigh of relief upon this discovery. The truth is that he just does not care about them, feeling their only reason for existence is giving him a chance to faceslap someone.

Patrick was even more stunned than the audience, but for a different reason: how can a Blood Strengthening phase be this fast?!? Filled with doubts, he did not even hear the announcer say his defeat and went outside the arena.

The next 8 matches, Shu Himo kept sparing the ones that seemed 'good guys' and executing the ones that seemed annoying.

Having made 10 win streaks, now his name started to make fear the other contenders and every opponent of Shu Himo started to respect him having heard that he spared the ones that weren't disrespectful.

-----

In the room of the manager.

"This is a threat to the arena, seeing his strength I fear that he will make us go bankrupt!"

Funny how the manager that believed Shu Himo would be about to die now was worried about his own arena getting in bankrupt because of him.

The arena paid in the number of wins made, especially win streaks. Each win will give to the contestant 10 silvers, while every 5 win streak will give an x2 to the total value earned. This means that with a 10 win streak Shu Himo already earned 1gold from the basic wins x2 x2, so a total of 4 golds. While this was still easily manageable for the Arena to pay, Shu Himo showed a strength that proved he could reach easily even 50 win streaks, that would give him 5120 golds! There is no way the arena can pay all that!

Normally there is a rule that doesn't let the contestant go over 10 win streaks by playing safe fighting only his own cultivation phase but Shu Himo is fighting from the start two whole cultivation phase higher, and he also did not seem to have any problem at that!

Having no other choice, the manager had to call 'him'.

"Hey! Call 'Him' immediately!" Screaming to his subordinate, only to be met with a puzzled face in front of him.

"Ehm... Boss, who is 'Him'?"

Annoyed by his useless underlying, the manager hit him and rushed to call 'Him' to save his Arena.

-----

Meanwhile in the arena.

"Contestant Shu Himo with a 13 win streak against Gersy Catsy of the Acupoint Opening phase! Who will win this match?"

"Ehm... Sir Shu Himo, please go easy on me." The voice of a slightly scared fat person facing Shu Himo resounded in the arena, but no one was surprised, now it was only the norm. Actually, they were looking weirdly at the Announcer who actually said 'Who will win this match?', as if he were an idiot.

Seeing the glances toward him the announcer almost fell in the ground and spurted blood, I'm trying to live up the atmosphere okay? Please don't look at me as if I where an idiot I know that the monsterchild will win!

Regaining his calmness he then proceeded to start the match: "Now I hope that Gersy Catsy will be ready because now the match will start!" Somehow even the phrase to start the match started changing.

Shu Himo immediately used [Hopper] and vanished from view, only to appear a meter from Gersy Catsy, who slashed with his weapon to defend from the attack... only to hit nothing. Shu Himo was now behind about to slash toward him when he noticed that Gersy Catsy was actually jumping backward to use his fat body as a press on him! Sadly for Gersy Catsy, Shu Himo immediately used [Hopper] and, instead of using it as a retreat method, he used it to jump high, reaching about 2 and a half meters, and he then rotated mid-air creating centrifugal force and kicked Gersy Catsy's face, who then rolled toward the wall of the arena, almost creating a hole.

"The winner is once again Shu Himo! Give an applause for the champion!"

Hearing the winning signal once again, the audience dared not wait and immediately started clapping their hands as if hoping to not get on Shu Himo's nerves.

Meanwhile, Shu Himo felt happy as he reminisced about the training to learn Hopper... since he fell a lot of times while trying to learn it, he also learned a bit on how to maneuver mid-air, as a way to lessen the pain he would get each fall.

If it wasn't for that hellish training, these fights would be way harder...
