Chapter 965 The First Round
Chapter 965 The First Round
The martial arts tournament officially began.
The host went on stage and read out the names on the list.
Very quickly, he announced one of the participants, ''Little Dragon'.
The moment this was announced, the crowd burst into laughter.
Other participant's names were ruthless nicknames such as cold-faced killer, Rakshasa, and destroyer.
Only Lu Yu used such a cute nickname. Was he a child?
In the audience, Helen lowered her head awkwardly.
"Lu Yu must be the one who made this nickname. Isn't he too low-key?"
"I think it's alright," Shirley said helplessly. "Why do they all think there's a problem?"
"Little Dragon sounds like a toy. However, Lu Yu probably did this to prevent himself from being too outstanding and didn't expect it to backfire."
Elena sighed. Originally, this nickname shouldn't be too conspicuous, but now he has attracted everyone's attention.
The first round began.
The two sides were fighting intensely, with all kinds of melee fighting. It looked exciting and satisfying.
Soon, both of them were beaten, bloody, and seriously injured.
The blood stimulated the audience, causing them to cheer loudly.
"The first round is already so intense. Won't the following rounds be even more exciting?"
"You should beat him up more! Don't waste my time and money!"
"I hope that the people behind won't be scared and chicken out; otherwise,there won't be anything to watch."
"I want to see Little Dragon get beaten up. Since when a child could register for this tournament?"
"Let's hurry to the next round!"
Soon, the second and third rounds began.
Round after round, it proceeded at a very fast speed.
Not long after, Lu Yu heard his nickname called.
"Next, it's Little Dragon versus Twilight Killer!"
"Please come on stage and prepare for the fight!"
The audience started to discuss animatedly.
"Damn, it's the Twilight Killer!"
"He's the top assassin in West Court City. There are only a handful of people he isn't a match for."
"How can an ordinary person be a match for such a famous assassin?"
"Little Dragon is unlucky. He might be killed."
"That's right, he's dead for sure. This tournament doesn't care if the contestants live or die. Only the strongest can be selected!"
Everyone in the audience believed that Lu Yu would lose. After all, he was the top assassin in the city.
How could any ordinary person be a match for him?
Moreover, someone who had named himself Little Dragon.
In the audience, Helen and the others were amused when they heard what the others said.
"The Twilight Killer that people are talking about is indeed a famous assassin," said Elena. "He's assassinated all kinds of rich and powerful people. Basically, he can kill whoever he wants."
"If it were any other contestant, they would probably be dead."
"Since he ran into Lu Yu, he's going to be in trouble today. Lu Yu will teach him a lesson."
Elena revealed a wicked smile. Although she had not known Lu Yu for long, she still recognized Lu Yu's strength.
Defeating this assassin was not a difficult task.
At this moment, Lu Yu walked out of the crowd and stepped into the ring.
Then, a man in a gray robe walked up the stage.
He wore a gray robe with a hood over his head. His face was wrapped in bandages, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
Even so, Lu Yu didn't care. This assassin was going to die anyway, so Lu Yu didn't care how he looked.
"Hehe, seeing how young you are, you really shouldn't be on this stage."
The Twilight Killer sneered.
"Today, you will die miserably. Do you understand?"
"Maybe," Lu Yu said calmly. "But you can't even rouse my fighting spirit."
"Hmph, don't act tough. You'll die a horrible death soon. At that time, you'll be kneeling and begging for mercy."
"Probably, if you're stronger than you are now."
The Twilight Killer was furious. He pulled out two silver daggers from behind him and held them in his hands.
"You're courting death!"
Swoosh!
He disappeared and entered stealth mode.
The next moment, when he reappeared, he was already behind Lu Yu. He was about to swing his dagger at the back of Lu Yu's neck.
"You're dead!"
Everyone in the audience exclaimed in surprise. The Twilight Killer's assassination skills were something else. Without realizing it, he had instantly sneaked behind the enemy.
However, at this moment, Lu Yu turned around and grabbed his sharp dagger.
The dagger stopped in mid-air, and Twilight Killer couldn't push his daggers forward no matter how hard he tried.
"Are... are you crazy? This is an Epic weapon, and you dare to take it head-on?"
He looked at Lu Yu in disbelief. He never thought that Lu Yu would dare to do such a thing.
However, when he looked at the dagger, he was shocked to find that Lu Yu's palm had no wounds.
It was as if his daggers were toys and could not cause any harm to Lu Yu at all.
"Impossible! My daggers are extremely sharp. How could you block it with your body? Impossible!"
He had never expected Lu Yu to be unharmed.
It wasn't just him. The audience also exclaimed in surprise when they saw this.
"This person raised his hand to block the sharp daggers, and his palm is still fine!"
"What kind of heaven-defying physique is this? How could he resist Twilight Killer's daggers?"
"Damn, I underestimated Little Dragon. His defense is too shocking, and he's probably at least Diamond Rank."
"No way, is the Twilight Killer going to lose in the first round? That's a pity!"
"This is definitely an upset when the Little Dragon is a complete newbie."
Everyone was discussing it animatedly. At this moment, Lu Yu had already grabbed Twilight Killer's neck tightly and twisted it forcefully, ending his life.
The person in front of him was ranked first on the assassin list, but in fact, his combat strength was only at the peak of Diamond Rank.
In West Court City, there were already powerhouses, as there were very few above the Diamond Rank.
Therefore, Lu Yu was a complete blow to them; they were powerless before him.
Lu Yu easily defeated his opponent and won the first round.
After that, there would be the second round, the third round, and finally, when he obtained first place, he would be taken away by the Orlando family as he wished and brought to their manor.
As long as he could find the core members of the Orlando family, he would be able to force out the details of the Demon Blood Lord.
