Chapter 1438 Knowledgeable
Upon witnessing the scene on the stage, the audience fell silent.
All the audience members stared at Chen Mu in utter shock.
Just now, the King of Gladiators made some tough talk, rambling on and on, using villainous boasting techniques like "Chen Mu is definitely a threat—but he's still too green—I didn't expect I had a secret weapon," to show off to Chen Mu.
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Mu slapped him away like a fly, and he disappeared without a trace.
Chen Mu's muttered remark only amplified the sarcasm.
This stark contrast caused the King of Gladiators' attempt to show off to fail, turning him into a clown-like figure.
The palm strike that Chen Mu conjured had absolutely no fighting technique involved.
He used his innate evil energy to condense a palm shape, and then slapped a fly down with it.
If there's any fighting technique to speak of, it's quantity! Quantity! Quantity! Quantity!
In the face of absolute strength, any skill is just fancy and useless.
As the white palm slowly dissipated, the spot where the King of Gladiators stood had been slapped into a five-finger-shaped crater.
The Gladiator King's once enormous body has vanished without a trace.
Chen Mu frowned slightly. "No way, this guy is too weak."
With just one slap, using only the power of a high-level Ghost King, he was actually annihilated?
It shouldn't be that crispy.
Just then, a thin, long object flew out of the Five Finger Pit.
If Chen Mu were to describe it, it would be like a long, black chopstick. It's about the same thickness as a chopstick, but as tall as a five-story building, roughly the height of the King of Gladiators.
Upon seeing the long black chopstick, Chen Mu's eyes showed a rare expression of confusion.
Even the surrounding audience members looked at each other in bewilderment. They were a group of long-time viewers who had never seen this chopstick before.
After "chopsticks" flew out of the pit, they stood in front of Chen Mu.
It coughed, and seemed quite badly injured, with signs of internal damage.
After coughing several times, "Chopsticks" finally said:
"You bastard Chen Mu! You actually dared to ambush me. I hadn't even finished speaking before you attacked me. I think you really have a death wish."
Upon hearing the sound of "chopsticks," Chen Mu suddenly realized that it sounded just like the King of Gladiators.
So, with that slap he just gave, he had "broken the mask" of the King of Gladiators, revealing its true nature.
A bizarre boss in an arena, whose true form is actually a thin... chopstick...
It has to be said that in a gladiatorial arena teeming with fierce warriors, such a BOSS is rather unusual.
Chen Mu could understand why the King of Gladiators would use eerie energy to create the image of a four-story-tall, muscular man.
That robust figure certainly carries more weight than a chopstick.
Having been disfigured by Chen Mu, it's easy to imagine how utterly humiliating the King of Gladiators has become.
Its anger towards Chen Mu was beyond description.
Driven by extreme anger and to avoid further humiliation from being slapped, the King of Gladiators abandoned his boastful ramblings and instead unleashed his signature move.
"Chen Mu, prepare to die!"
The King of Gladiators roared, and its chopstick-like body instantly disintegrated.
The chopstick, which was four stories high and more than ten meters long, immediately broke into thousands of small pieces.
Each small segment, within a few seconds, evaporates and vaporizes into an invisible "gaseous state".
Such "gas" filled the entire arena, and the figure of the King of Gladiators was everywhere in the air.
"Hahaha! Chen Mu, how about it? You've never seen anything like this before."
I scattered my body completely, leaving no trace, no shadow. I am nowhere to be found, yet I am everywhere.
No matter how strong you are, you can't harm me in the slightest. But I can gather my strength at any time and attack you unexpectedly.
I haven't used that move in a long time. Chen Mu, you're really something for forcing me to use my trump card!
In a gladiatorial arena renowned for its strength and power, the final move of the boss is to become invisible.
This "softness overcomes hardness" technique, which was "soft" to the extreme, was indeed beyond Chen Mu's expectations.
Chen Mu thought its ultimate move was to unleash its strongest power.
"Not bad, that's quite interesting." Chen Mu praised, "You've got ideas; most people wouldn't think of that. It's really unexpected."
Hearing Chen Mu's praise, the King of Gladiators felt instantly pleased.
"How about that, scared now? But sorry, you've offended me too much, and you even made me reveal my true form in public. How can I save face? Even if it costs a hundred billion, I won't let you off the hook," the Gladiator King said viciously.
"What about the 20 billion?" Chen Mu asked.
The King of Gladiators was taken aback, not expecting Chen Mu to raise the price.
"What about the 30 billion?"
"Still not enough? Five hundred billion, that's my limit."
The King of Gladiators thought for a moment, "That works too, 50 billion, and I can be spared from death."
“Great, how do you plan to pay?” Chen Mu asked.
"Just give it to me directly."
"No, no, no, I'm asking you how you're going to pay me." Chen Mu looked surprised. "What are you thinking? Aren't I the one making the offer? Give me a few hundred million and I'll spare your life."
At this moment, the King of Gladiators finally realized that he had been tricked by Chen Mu again.
This guy isn't trying to buy his life; he just wants me to give him money.
In other words, Chen Mu wasn't afraid at all! He kept joking around with me, teasing me like I was a fool.
"Chen Mu, you've gone too far! You're going to die!"
"Why are you so agitated? Relax, it was just a joke." Chen Mu smiled slightly, and seeing the Gladiator King so furious gave Chen Mu's mischievous side a great sense of satisfaction.
Chen Mu continued, "I've seen your gasification technique before. What I've seen is an even stronger gasification method."
To me, your little tricks are nothing more than a show for children.
However, for a Demon King like you to have mastered such a unique skill is truly commendable. Here's a little flower to encourage you.
Chen Mu wasn't showing off; he had already seen the ultimate gasification solution from Chief Kong Qikong.
Kong Qi's understanding of gasification is far more profound than that of the King of Gladiators.
This is the difference in perspective.
Chen Mu has traveled all over the country and met too many extraordinary people. In terms of knowledge, he has long surpassed ordinary ghost kings by several levels.
The knowledge he had accumulated over the years began to broaden Chen Mu's perspective, allowing him to face even the most bizarre opponents without much surprise.
"Perfect timing, I have a countermeasure for your kind of move."
Chen Mu's lips curled up slightly; he was ready to end this duel.
