The God Virus

"Well... only an extravagant company like them could hire such a line-up... anyway, let’s go."

An hour later, the cars arrived in front of a luxurious mansion as one of the bodyguards inside the same car as the CEO ugly opened his mouth, "Mr. Greg, we’re at our destination... please let me escort you inside the house."

Mouthing this, that bodyguard opened the door for the CEO ugly as he waited for him and the Legal ugly to come off the car.

"Okay, let’s go."

CULTIVATION EARTH

Now that Virus was already in the top eight, his matches would almost be one after the other without much time to rest, so, he decided to just wait in the waiting room until his name was called so he would directly go out to the Colosseum.

"Master, only three more matches remain... and then... if you win them all... you would be able to get your hands on Brisk Balance Fruit... how do you feel about that?" Looking at her master in curiosity, the golden beauty inquired.

"Nothing special really... just that I would be finally able to continue my path of cultivation again... so... I feel like things would get much more interesting from then on." Without any change in his expression, Virus stated.

Nodding in understanding, she questioned, "Hmm, I see... by the way, master... what are you going to do with that fruit? You never explained it clearly..." And by the end of her words, she questioned once again with a light of curiosity appearing inside her eyes.

However, she didn’t receive the reply she expected and instead, Virus uttered, "You will know soon enough... Just know that it’s essential for my next stage to be finished quickly in the shortest period of time possible..."

"What do you mean, master?" Confused, the golden beauty inquired further.

"Well... if I don’t get this fruit... then finishing the next stage of my cultivation would’ve taken me at least more than a year... but now... anyway, just wait, you will get it later on." He replied as such.

"But..." She was just about to say something else too, when an announcement interrupted her, "Next match is between Howar and... Vee! Please come to the Colosseum or it would count as you forfeiting."

Hearing the summon, standing up, Virus was about to take off his current dress in order to change into that particular clothes he wore before activating the ring, and at the same time, he began to talk, "It’s my turn so..." Then, as he was continuing his sentence, he turned his head around, however, much to his amusement and surprise, his sentence was interrupted as there was no longer anyone in the room to listen to his words anymore.

"This girl..." Saying this with a chuckle, Virus began to change into his special clothes.

After he was done, he began walking toward the dark tunnel, however, again, to his surprise, he realized someone was waiting there before the entrance to the dark tunnel while leaning at the wall of the entrance.

But, not caring in the least about that, Virus was about to pass by that person and go along his way when that person finally stopped leaning and obstructed Virus’ path into the dark tunnel the next moment.

"Move." Virus proclaimed, expressionlessly.

"I don’t want to." With a wide grin, the other person uttered.

Afterward, seeing Virus show no reaction whatsoever to his provocative words, he added, "My master fancies your ring... let me give you the chance of offering it to him yourself instead of making this whole situation awkward for us and dangerous for yourself... what do you say?"

Listening to the other person, finally, a grin sat on Virus’ face as he muttered, "Just as I expected... that’s what this is all about... okay... first, tell me who your master is."

"My master? You really don’t know? Well... considering that you’re just a newbie it’s understandable... anyway, listen carefully because I’m gonna introduce him only once!" The other person added.

"My master... is elder Fernan... the pagoda master who is in charge of the Spear Pagoda! So, stop making trouble for yourself and just offer him the ring because if you don’t... that’s just going to make your everyday life much more miserable since you’re going to live every second in fear of death..." With pride and arrogance emitting from all over his body, Howar stated.

"Elder Fernan huh... alright, thanks for the introduction, bye." Uttering this, Virus abruptly disappeared from his previous spot only to appear at the end of the dark tunnel.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he went out of the dark tunnel and walked toward the fighting ground of the Colosseum.

However, witnessing himself and his words completely ignored, Howar’s face was already very dark as he mumbled in a low voice, "So you mean you don’t put my master in your eyes huh... then... don’t blame me for turning into a cripple after this match."

And after he was done mumbling to himself, he also turned around as he began to pass through the dark tunnel to the fighting ground.

"What took you two so long! If it had taken you two just a minute longer to appear, I would’ve already announced both of you as defeated!" The judge elder who had been waiting for some time now uttered in annoyance.

Then, he sighed and calmed himself down before continuing, "Anyway, you two have already wasted enough time... Now begin the match at once!" So, just like that, the match started.

As the match had already begun, gritting his teeth, Howar spoke with deep hostility, "You will regret your decision soon... when you’re no longer able to cultivate forever after this match... you’ll cry everyday and live in regret as to why you didn’t just give away your ring instead of ignoring me... But it’ll be too late by then."

"Oh, so you’re saying you want to cripple me, huh? You’re a cruel one, aren’t you?" With an amused expression appearing on his face, Virus asked.

Hearing him, Howar’s only response was an evil grin which talked for itself.

So, seeing him truly determined in crippling him, Virus questioned in bafflement, "But I heard one of the elders clearly announce that the first rule states that no killing is allowed in the Martial Contest and other than that, as long as the opponent can heal, everything else is fine... which literally means you can only deal a damage that ’can’ be healed, no? And here you are, saying you want to cripple me... which... as far as I know, cannot be healed... this means it’s against the rules... hmm, wait, could it be that you want to be expelled from the sect?"

Hearing his logical analysis of the rule, against Virus’ expectations, Howar began to laugh out loud, "Hahahaha... this is so funny... hahaha..."
