A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 394 - 306: The Underground Arena_2
Chapter 394: Chapter 306: The Underground Arena_2
“The registration time is already over!”
“I know, but…this is not up to me.”
“What?”
At the blond man’s response, the scarred man was momentarily dazed. However, in the next moment, Duanmu Huai’s hand swiftly reached out, grabbing the scarred man’s head and smashing it against the wall!
“Bang!!”
There was a heavy crash sound, and then Duanmu Huai bent down, getting closer to the scarred man’s squished head, staring at him.
“I said, I’m going to participate. Do you fucking have a problem with that? Huh?!”
“Choke…choke…”
With Duanmu Huai’s growl, he gradually applied force to his right-hand grip, and the scarred man’s head made a crackling noise. Egg. The scarred man’s face turned pale, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, and his mouth opened and closed as if gasping for breath like a fish.
“No, no… ”
“Hmph!”
Duanmu Huai snorted, and flung the scarred man away. The blond man watched the scene quietly, a mocking sneer slowly spread across his face.
“Alright, let’s go in.”
After they entered this underground commercial street, the two first followed the blond man into a medical room. There, Honoka underwent a comprehensive checkup by a female doctor. Although Honoka’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt when she came out, she passed the check. Then they were assigned a room and given a special contact device for the competition. According to the blond man, this would provide them information about the upcoming games and opponents.
“Of course, since your participation is special, I suppose the schedule will also be different. So… good luck.”
Leaving these words behind, the blond man left the room, leaving the two behind.
“The atmosphere here is really bad… ”
As she sat on the sofa, Honoka was visibly uncomfortable. Not surprisingly, along the way, Honoka had seen many disturbing things, such as girls displayed like commodities in display windows, and hooligans who surrounded them to create chaos, they all looked like bad people. Women walking on the street were scantily dressed, either in bikinis or bunny suits, which made Honoka feel uneasy.
In other words, if it weren’t for her friend, she wouldn’t want to be at this chaotic place.
“Why does Mary want to participate in this kind of competition?”
“Maybe she was tricked. It’s not uncommon.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged, Although Maryrose is a martial artist, the problem is that her strength is only average. An organization that can host a competition of the Fighting God Powers’ level, and constantly attempts to mess with the Duel City in order to control it, is definitely not something a small fry like Maryrose can resist. Maybe they even threatened Mary with Honoka; if Mary didn’t agree, they would hurt Honoka. After all, the Yakuza always play the same dirty tricks.
The way to deal with these types of people or organizations is not to reason with them, but to solve the problem directly.
“Ding dong… clang dong…”
Just then, the room’s speaker suddenly rang. A woman’s voice came out,
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the opening ceremony of the Fighting God Powers Tournament is about to start. Participants and guests, please follow your guide’s lead to the arena.”
“Knock knock knock.”

Almost simultaneously, there was a knock on the door. Duanmu Huai opened the door to see a seductive woman dressed as a bunny girl standing there. At the sight of Duanmu Huai, the bunny girl was startled, but she quickly put on a professional smile.
“Hello, I’m your guide, please follow me to the arena.”
“Okay.”
Duanmu Huai nodded, then gestured to Honoka. She took a deep breath, stood up, and followed Duanmu Huai out of the room.
Although she was somewhat prepared, Honoka was still taken aback when she arrived at the venue.
The whole arena looked like a Roman coliseum, with seating all around and a wide, circular duel arena in the middle. At this moment, the seats are already filled with spectators, cheering and screaming wildly. The noise reverberates in the enclosed environment, almost as annoying as noise pollution.
“Miss Honoka, please wait here.”
Just as Honoka was about to follow Duanmu Huai onto the stage, she was stopped by another bunny girl. Not sure what had happened, she obediently stayed put. At this point, Honoka realized that although they were supposed to partake in the opening ceremony, she saw no other competitors on the arena aside from herself and Duanmu Huai.
What could be happening?
However, despite the strangeness of the situation, Duanmu Huai went on to the duel arena. Just then, the announcer’s voice came over the loudspeakers.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting, the Fighting God Tournament is about to start!”
“Ohhhhhhh!!!”
At this, a cheer erupted from the crowd. But the announcer quickly continued speaking.
“But before the start of the tournament, we have a warm-up performance for you!”
A warm-up performance?
Upon hearing this, an uneasy feeling stirred in Honoka. Duanmu Huai on the duel arena did not even flinch, standing there as if in deep meditation.
“Before your eyes is an audacious intruder! He disregarded the rules of the Fighting God Tournament and wishes to compete even after missing the registration deadline. Can we allow such recklessness?!”
“No! No! No!!!”
The already frenzied crowd grew even more enraged, and Honoka turned pale, trembling visibly.
Could it be that they had fallen into the blond man’s trap?
As Honoka was worrying, the announcer’s voice rung out again.
“No! We can—————!”
“…………huh??”
The surprising answer threw the once-unified crowd into disarray. They had all presumed that the organizers would publicly punish the rule-breaker under everyone’s gaze. They did not expect such a twist.
However, as the audience looked on in confusion, the announcer’s voice echoed once more.
“The Fighting God Tournament selects the strongest warrior! Only the strongest deserve the Fighting God Powers! In front of the strongest, rules have no meaning or value! But first, he must prove himself strong to everyone!! Only then can he disregard the rules and join as a participant!”
“Boom!!”
With the announcer’s words, the passageways around the duel arena slammed shut with massive steel doors. Then, a wall slowly opened to reveal a pack of wolves. Their glaring green eyes focused hungerly on Duanmu Huai, saliva continually dripping from their gaping mouths.
“Up next! This is the challenge the intruder must face. If he fails, he will become prey to the beasts! And his partner, the reward for everyone’s celebrations!!”
“Ohhhhhhh!!!”
The crowd roared with delight at this announcement, while Duanmu Huai just folded his arms and stood there.
Well, this is all rather predictable… if anything, its orthodox nature is somewhat underwhelming.
“With that, let the trial begin!!!”
As the announcer’s words fell, the wolves’ cages sprung open. In the next moment, dozens of wolves surged out like a flood, their jaws wide open as they lunged at Duanmu Huai!
