Chapter 123: Mademos Laughs At Xiao Hongchen On The Battlefield
“Bai E!”
“Charging toward the jeep!”
In the forest far from Xilu City, Roman drove the jeep wildly across an open area, his orange-pink ponytail swaying in the air, green eyes revealing excitement.
After Huo Yuhao left, he directly tossed the jeep’s startup key to Roman, as a perk for an excellent employee.
After all, Roman worked 007 every day, truly a heaven-sent worker; even the production team’s donkey would feel inferior, and capitalists would shed tears upon seeing him.
As the boss, for such a top ten employee, he had to give some benefits, so Huo Yuhao gave his beloved car to him.
This car held great commemorative significance, as it was the first soul power transmission-powered terrain vehicle on the Douluo Continent.
The main structure was alchemy, supplemented by various soul tools.
In a primordial world view, this car as an inaugural work would at least attract some merit down.
Of course, for Roman, compared to a jeep, he preferred Huo Yuhao giving him more money to buy some strawberry cake.
“Ro, Doctor Roman!”
“Your car is too fast!”
Bai E accelerated running ahead, his originally sunny face now full of panic.
This guy Roman drove much faster than Huo Yuhao!
Especially since this car had been enhanced by the other party with various incantations, greatly improving the car’s hardness and speed!
At the start of training, Roman’s speed was somewhat restrained, fearing Bai E would suffer injuries beyond his body’s limits.
Later, Roman discovered that no matter how intense the training Bai E underwent during the day, a emerald green light full of life aura would always soothe his fatigue at night.
Then the purple thunderbolt rune on the other’s forehead would bloom with light, bit by bit tempering his meridians.
Upon seeing this, Roman was dumbfounded; he realized the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life from the God Realm weren’t even pretending anymore!
They were blatantly giving Bai E special treatment; even Mademos, Feng Jin, and Ti Bao by his side were scanned by that divine sense.
With his semi-finished foundation, Roman could detect that the divine sense was scrutinizing Mademos and the others.
Even Xia Die, who had just arrived and gotten familiar with Feng Jin, was included in the review scope.
He couldn’t figure it out; he wasn’t clear on the God Realm situation, so he told Huo Yuhao about it.
After waiting a while, Huo Yuhao’s reply to Roman was a very short passage.
“Destruction is probably finding a team for Bai E.”
“No need to worry.”
Just like when Tang San brought a group up to the God Realm back then, the Destruction God King also wanted to emulate Shura from those days, having Bai E bring a group up to the God Realm too.
This was naturally something Huo Yuhao was happy to see.
After getting Huo Yuhao’s instructions, Roman stopped caring; anyway, that divine sense truly harbored no malice and left no suggestive information.
Knowing Bai E didn’t need to worry about overtraining at all, Roman’s training became increasingly insane.
Every few days, he threw a few people into the Disaster Mountain Range to face soul beasts baring their teeth, playing wilderness survival.
Roman told them the core area of the Disaster Mountain Range was a secret realm containing countless treasures; to obtain them, they must cross the Disaster Mountain Range.
Then he watched from the side as Bai E and the others were madly struck by lightning, though Roman had coordinated with the Thunderclap Hellvine inside.
Those thunderbolts’ aura was just for show; their actual power was within their tolerance.
“Boom!”
The jeep driven by Roman smashed through a rock.
Bai E arduously dodged to the side; when he climbed up again, his body suddenly paused, and he hurriedly shouted to Roman:
“Stop for a moment, Doctor Roman!”
“Teacher Ti Bao passed me information through a space mark!”
Roman stopped the jeep; the engine roar like a giant dragon’s bellow gradually subsided, and the forest returned to tranquility.
He got out of the car, picked up the white coat on the passenger seat and put it on, then smoothed his hair, and mildly asked Bai E:
“Is there something urgent?”
Bai E rubbed his head with his left hand and said to Roman:
“Mademos is about to fight someone.”
“Teacher Ti Bao wants me to go check it out.”
Roman stroked his chin, showing a thinking expression, and said to Bai E:
“I understand.”
“Mademos looks very proud, but that kid really isn’t one to stir up trouble.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
“Come on, get in!”
Bai E showed a brilliant smile and said:
“Thanks, Doctor Roman.”
Roman smiled, opened the driver’s door, sat in, reinserted the key into the recognition core, and restarted the steel behemoth.
The massive engine roar kept the surrounding forest’s soul beasts from approaching; this area’s forest was mostly ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts.
They didn’t have the guts to provoke a “soul beast” that could make that sound.
Soon, the jeep sped off; the whistling airflow disrupted Bai E’s hairstyle, revealing his hairline.
After the jeep entered the official road, it accelerated; the official roads around Xilu City had all been repaved with heavy gold by Huo Yuhao.
The paving materials had better crack resistance, stability, aging resistance, and good compactness.
The roads were smoother and wider, perfectly meeting the passage standards for powered vehicles.
Under enthusiastic promotion, this kind of road gradually spread across the entire Heaven Dou Plain, laying the foundation for the soul guide car sales market.
While Roman was racing down the road with Bai E, inside Xilu City’s Great Fighting Arena, a man with golden-red hair and a short braid hanging over his chest walked onto the fighting platform.
Opposite him was a white-haired heterochromatic-pupiled youth full of confidence.
The surrounding spectator stands gradually filled with people.
Many heard Mademos was fighting someone and specially bought tickets to come support him!
Thanks to Bai E, Mademos often helped Xilu City’s citizens too; both of them had high popularity in Xilu City.
They were hailed as Xilu City’s twin stars!
They were the famous handsome young lads from the eighty townships within a hundred li of Heaven Dou Plain!
“Mademos! Beat that outsider down hard for me!”
“After the fight, remember to come to my shop for some food! I haven’t thanked you yet for last time’s help.”
“Mademos! Victory!”
The surrounding high platforms chorused Mademos’s name; the sound reached even the medical clinic on the streets outside the fighting arena!
Previously, Xilu City’s fighting arena favored bloody gladiatorial combats; such flesh-and-blood spectacles suited the nobles’ tastes.
Now, after Enthusiasm took the stage, bloody combats were banned; the Great Fighting Arena could only hold normal soul fighting.
Huo Yuhao strictly required the fighting arena’s referees to rigorously prevent death incidents in the fighting arena!
One occurrence, and the other party could say goodbye to this job!
Xiao Hongchen heard the surrounding cheers, his mouth corner slightly upturned, blue-green heterochromatic pupils flashing with a trace of pride.
“Is this the Heaven Soul Empire’s fighting arena? Indeed very different from the Sun Moon Empire. The people here seem to really like soul fighting competitions.”
Xiao Hongchen muttered to himself, then looked at Mademos; confident words resounded across the fighting platform.
“You’re called Mademos, right?”
“Looks like you have quite a reputation in Xilu City.”
“I hope your strength matches your reputation!”
Mademos crossed his arms, closed his eyes; the surrounding cheers had no effect on him.
He slightly opened his golden eyes, lion-like gaze fixed on Xiao Hongchen; a steady voice reached Xiao Hongchen’s ears.
“Less talk.”
“True skill under hand.”
“Remember your promise.”
Xiao Hongchen saw Mademos’s eyes and immediately realized the other was very similar to himself in certain personality traits.
Proud, confident.
These shared qualities let Xiao Hongchen know the other was definitely a qualified opponent!
This soul fight would be interesting!
“Of course!”
“I’m Xiao Hongchen, not someone who can’t lose!”
“After losing, I’ll definitely apologize, then guarantee to her that I’ll never walk with eyes closed again!”
These past few days were piled with matters: all sorts of meetings, accompanying leaders, superiors coming for inspections, and the factory sending people for training.
