Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

After registering, the two were quickly assigned to the third venue.

However, Lin Yang was facing a Great Soul Master, while Xiao Wu's opponents were all Soul Masters.

The two headed towards the third breakout venue, but before they even reached the entrance, they were stopped by a staff member.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, this is the life-or-death zone. The game zone is on the other side."

These two distinctly different region names clearly indicate their respective meanings.

In the game zone, the game should be played to a draw, and a winner should be determined. It is absolutely forbidden to use lethal force.

In the death zone, life and death are irrelevant. As long as one does not verbally admit defeat or jump off the stage, even if one is unconscious, the opponent has the right to kill one on the spot.

Without a doubt, the Death Zone is the bloodiest, most insane, and deadliest area in the Great Soul Arena.

However, upon hearing the staff's kind reminder, Lin Yang's expression remained unchanged; he simply said in a deep voice,

"We signed up for the life-or-death zone."

A strange look flashed across the staff member's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said...

"Please sign the life-or-death combat agreement."

This thing is basically a contract, which roughly means that the contestants voluntarily go on stage and the company is not responsible for any consequences.

Lin Yang and Xiao Wu readily signed their names and then walked into the third sub-venue.

The moment I stepped into the venue, a deafening cacophony hit me, instantly engulfing my ears.

After a few seconds of adjustment, Lin Yang turned to look at the audience.

At a glance, the seats were almost full, and everyone's eyes were bloodshot as they roared at the top of their lungs, as if they were in the midst of a joyous feast.

On the arena, two Soul Masters at the first ring were engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

They were covered in blood, but their eyes were filled with intense killing intent and hatred.

When you run out of soul power, grab with your hands, kick with your feet, and bite with your teeth.

No matter what method is used, whether it's fair and square or a sneak attack, as long as you can walk off the stage alive, you are the winner.

This... is a battlefield of life and death!

When Xiao Wu saw this, her face turned pale, and she instinctively grabbed Lin Yang's arm.

Lin Yang remained expressionless.

He had seen far more disgusting and bloody scenes than this, and he was already numb to them.

Lin Yang glanced at Xiao Wu briefly, then his calm and clear voice reached her ears.

"Look closely, these people on and off the stage, they are no longer human, they are ghosts, bloodthirsty demons in human skin."

"Hypocrisy, cunning, treachery, and despicableness are the underlying characteristics here, and also the most authentic aspects of human nature."

"Before going on stage, I only have one piece of advice: don't pity them with your sympathy and kindness. These things are worthless here."

After speaking, Lin Yang turned around and headed to the players' rest area.

Xiao Wu watched the contestant tearing at the stage, her eyes shifting several times before finally flashing with a resolute look.

He lifted his feet and quickly caught up with Lin Yang's pace.

All the fighters from Fighting Spirit are in the same rest area.

When they saw Lin Yang and Xiao Wu, two boys who looked to be only ten years old, walk in so confidently...

The other contestants each had a different expression.

Some were surprised, some were suspicious, but most were indifferent and ignored.

Most of these people were meditating, trying to keep themselves in top condition, waiting for the life-or-death battle to begin.

Here, everyone is a potential rival.

Unless one is overly compassionate, no one would think that the two children went to the wrong place.

If that's true, then congratulations on your good luck!

Soon, a staff member came over to inform Lin Yang that he was about to go on stage.

Lin Yang stood up calmly and headed to the waiting area.

Other people on the stage were cleaning up the remaining flesh and blood.

The host was also trying to get the audience engaged, not wanting the atmosphere to cool down.

"Next, we will begin our third sub-venue, the seventh match of the one-on-one life-or-death battle."

The host had a loud voice, and a bright yellow spirit ring at his feet amplified his voice several times over, making it clearly audible even to those sitting in a corner.

"This time, we have two Great Soul Masters. One of them is our old acquaintance, the Great Soul Master Gan Kang, known as the 'Headhunter Maniac'. His Martial Soul is the Hyena, and he has already achieved a seven-game winning streak."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thin, hunched-over middle-aged man appeared on the arena.

His eyes were sinister and vicious, like those of a real hyena.

When he appeared, the entire audience erupted in cheers, clearly indicating his immense popularity.

"Tch, you little piece of trash!"

Xiao Wu, who was already seated in the audience, curled her lip in disdain.

"The other one is our newcomer, the Great Soul Master Dao Gui, whose Martial Soul is Dao."

When Lin Yang came out, a chorus of boos immediately erupted from the audience.

Compared to the fierce and ruthless Gan Kang, this knife demon's name sounds impressive, but he doesn't seem intimidating at all. Could he be all show and no substance?

"Haha, this little chick will probably be eaten by the hyena in no time."

"Little brat, go home and drink your milk!" someone shouted.

Lin Yang ignored the foul language and silently stepped onto the stage.

"Looks like I'm really lucky today," Gan Kang licked his lips, his scarlet eyes filled with a hint of smugness and cruelty.

Lin Yang ignored him and simply closed his eyes to wait for the battle to begin.

"Dear viewers, will our Great Soul Master Gan Kang continue his eight-game winning streak, or will our Great Soul Master Dao Gui make his debut? Let's wait and see."

Seeing that the atmosphere had been stirred up, the host stopped wasting time and simply said, "The battle begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Kang transformed into a yellow blur and charged towards Lin Yang.

Two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, surrounded him, their light swirling around him.

"Kid, this isn't a place for a young master like you. Be smarter next time."

With a mocking expression, Gan Kang's hands were now covered in a layer of sharp, claw-like light as he viciously clawed at Lin Yang's head.

As the distance drew closer, he could almost see the scene of brains splattering in his hands the next moment.

Just then, Lin Yang opened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with indifference, calm and undisturbed.

wrong!

The feeling honed by years of fighting sent a chill down Gan Kang's spine, and he instantly sensed that something was wrong.

He immediately braked and reversed violently.

Want to go?

late!

Lin Yang moved. He didn't summon his martial spirit; he simply raised his hand, swiftly pressed down on Gan Kang's head, and slammed it down.

boom!

The ground, cut from limestone, was smashed open, creating a crater.

Gan Kang lay paralyzed among the rubble, bleeding from all seven orifices. His body twitched a few times before he stopped moving.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The surrounding audience, who had been watching the spectacle with amusement just a moment ago, were now frozen in place.

The noisy atmosphere seemed to be snapped off by an invisible giant hand, and the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

However, just a few seconds later, an even louder noise seemed to threaten to lift the roof off.

Shock! Astonishment! Excitement! Ecstasy!

The various expressions resemble the myriad aspects of human life.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if trying to see who this young man behind the mask really was.

Lin Yang shook his hand, then turned to the host and said softly,

"Can we announce the results now?"

Upon hearing this, the host immediately came to his senses and loudly announced that Dao Gui had won.

Back in the rest area, Lin Yang could clearly sense the fear and apprehension others had towards him.

He walked to the audience area from another exit, found Xiao Wu, sat down next to her, and said in a deep voice...

"Are you ready?"

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and nodded emphatically: "Ready."
