Chapter 1097: Strange or Not
Both of them turned their gaze to the Duel Arena. The Berserker had already walked onto the stage, waving to the crowd as if to showcase his might. The commentator spoke again: "So, who is the Berserker going to kill today?" The commentator was quite shrewd; his choice of words easily exposed the desires hidden in the hearts of the audience.
Following the commentator's voice, another cage was slowly opened, revealing another man stepping out. However, this man was completely the opposite of the "Berserker." He had long hair, was extraordinarily tall, and, in contrast to the Berserker's muscular frame, this man appeared exceptionally lean.
Upon seeing this person, the people on the stage sighed heavily, with some even throwing trash at the man. Observing the audience's reaction, the commentator echoed their sentiment, saying: "Oh, it seems today our Berserker is going to kill a little cutie."
Hearing the commentator's words, the crowd burst into laughter. But the long-haired man on the stage remained unmoved, as if completely unaffected by those around him, and walked straight onto the platform made of bluestone. Seeing the long-haired man step onto the stone platform, the Berserker provocatively raised his middle finger toward the man, as if safeguarding his territory.
Witnessing this scene, the crowd cheered for the Berserker's gesture, "Kill him, kill him!" They continued to shout at the Berserker, clearly indicating that they wanted the Berserker to kill the long-haired man before him. "Alright, both sides are ready; let's begin enjoying the Berserker's killing feast," the commentator announced enthusiastically, marking the start of the duel.
Watching all this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but feel a bit saddened. In the eyes of the crowd, were these lives so worthless? But Xiao Yifei was a Doctor; he wouldn't allow himself to desecrate life in any way. To him, regardless of poverty or wealth, life was life, and in front of a Doctor, everyone was equal.
So when the duel began, Xiao Yifei took a deep breath, feeling a bit reluctant to witness the scene before him. At this moment, Ren Tianye beside him explained to Xiao Yifei and Qianxi, "The Berserker hasn't lost so far, and his opponents always end up with their necks broken by him."
Saying this, Ren Tianye also looked proudly at the Berserker, as if he was no different from those on the spectator stands.
The duel began, and the cries from the audience grew increasingly louder, all one-sidedly in support of the Berserker. Since Ren Tianye had explained it to Xiao Yifei and his friends, they weren't surprised by the audience constantly cheering for the Berserker.
The Berserker roared angrily in the arena, then charged straight at the long-haired man. From the look of it, he intended to use the force of his body to smash the long-haired man to bits. Because the man's hair was too long, the crowd couldn't see his expression clearly.
The commentator seized this opportunity to rile up the audience, "Oh, the little cutie's expression must be on the verge of tears; the Berserker is coming, little cutie, run!" The commentator's tone was sly but perfectly suited the current scene.
The audience laughed upon hearing this, yet the long-haired man merely shifted his footing lightly and sidestepped the Berserker's charge. "Oh, he dodged it, absolutely incredible," the commentator said in feigned surprise, but in fact, he was still mocking the long-haired man.
Having dodged this attack, the Berserker slowly turned to face the long-haired man again, and erupted in another roar, before charging at the man once more; yet the result was the same, as the man silently moved aside, evading the Berserker's assault again.
And the man not only dodged the Berserker's attacks, despite the chance to counter-attack after evading, he didn't exploit it. He merely looked at the Berserker calmly, making it seem akin to bullfighting!
As the saying goes, amateurs watch the spectacle, experts watch the technique. It seemed like the Berserker repeatedly launched attacks while the long-haired man narrowly dodged each time, implying the Berserker had the upper hand. However, those who were astute understood that the Berserker had been completely suppressed by the long-haired man at this moment.
On this point, Qianxi beside Xiao Yifei had the authority to speak. Xiao Yifei glanced at Qianxi, who stated calmly, "The long-haired man has won." Upon hearing Qianxi's words, Xiao Yifei seemed to have a sudden realization, observing the situation on the field and finding Qianxi absolutely correct.
At this moment, the Berserker was somewhat out of breath, yet he couldn't even touch the long-haired man, let alone attack. The commentator spoke derisively, "It seems this little cutie can only dodge." With the commentator saying so, the people on the stands resonated in agreement, blaming the long-haired man for only evading and not daring to confront the Berserker directly.
As if having heard the comments from the crowd, the long-haired man suddenly took the initiative. Witnessing this scene, the commentator exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, the little cutie is attacking; is he trying to strike a stone with an egg?" Along with the commentator's voice, the long-haired man had already reached the Berserker.
Now the Berserker was quite furious since he couldn't reach his opponent, and how could he not be angry? So when the long-haired man proactively approached, the Berserker sneered and intended to knock the long-haired man flying with one move. The Berserker swung a punch at the spot where the long-haired man appeared.
"The Berserker threw a punch, aimed directly at the little cutie's heart; can he finish the little cutie in one blow?" The commentator's voice was exceedingly high-pitched, and everyone on the stage was eagerly anticipating the moment, including Ren Tianye. But the outcome let everyone down.
To be precise, it shocked everyone. The long-haired man effortlessly spun around, dodging the Berserker's full-force punch easily. But that's not all, after evading the punch, the long-haired man suddenly reached behind, grasping the Berserker's arm.
Witnessing this scene, Qianxi frowned slightly, seemingly knowing what the long-haired man was about to do next. The long-haired man exerted force with his feet, and with a twist of his waist, he unexpectedly hurled the entire Berserker over his shoulder.
"My God, he effortlessly lifted the Berserker!" The commentator's tone seemed somewhat incredulous. Not only the commentator, but everyone on stage exclaimed in surprise, while the Berserker still attempted to struggle, only to be violently slammed to the ground by the long-haired man.
"A beautiful over-the-shoulder throw!" Even the commentator couldn't help but praise the long-haired man, without realizing that the term 'little cutie' had already disappeared from his vocabulary. Despite such a firm throw, the Berserker stood up almost instantly, uninjured.
Initially, everyone was quite startled by the long-haired man's maneuver, but seeing the Berserker stand up, they began to cheer for the Berserker once more. The first thing Berserker did upon rising? Naturally, charge toward the long-haired man, and that's exactly what he did.
Perhaps it was due to not recovering quickly enough, as the previously agile long-haired man was suddenly caught in a waist grip by the Berserker. Using the momentum, the Berserker carried the long-haired man toward the edge of the stone platform. Since the edge was sealed with iron chains, if Berserker reached the platform's edge, then the long-haired man's situation would undoubtedly turn dire.
