Cataclysm Hunter: I Have an Experience Points System - Chapter 50 - Watch How I Get Thrashed!

On Sunday, Lin Xiao woke up early.

After completing his muscle training, he arranged to meet Fang Wen, only to find out she wasn’t planning to go to the Fierce Fight Arena today.

Fang Wen squeezed her shoulder, apologetically saying:

“I got a bit injured yesterday, I need to rest up a bit…”

Lin Xiao understood; after all, not everyone had the constitution of a beast like him.

So, was he going alone today?

Catching sight of his childhood friend Zhao Siya and Repetitive Word Girl Chen Feifei, who looked like curious dolls blinking at him, he had an idea.

“I can take you with me, but I don’t recommend you step into the arena during your junior year.”

Although they could access the arena, frankly… their skills weren’t up to par.

To compete in the arena, one would at least need to be at Chen’s level, maybe even Fang Wen’s.

Otherwise, they would likely be outmatched and just end up taking a beating, which would only serve to discourage them.

Fang Wen then explained about the Fierce Fight Arena and the strength levels of the various sequences.

The girls were shocked, immediately discarding the idea of challenging anyone.

They weren’t foolish enough to seek an extreme challenge when they could just ask Lin Xiao or Fang Wen, who would certainly not be overly harsh.

“Lin Xiaoxiao, you go ahead, Yaya and I will train at school!”

“Once I get stronger, I’ll dominate the arena!”

Unable to compete in the arena, the two girls lost interest in going to the Fierce Fight Arena. After all, the school had all the necessary training equipment for free!

…

Just as he reached the school gates, Lin Xiao paused, thinking of someone.

He pulled out his phone and found his friend-Bai Shan.

“Do you feel like fighting someone?”

Soon, a message came back.

“…”

“ConfusedScratchingHead.jpg”

“Bro, take me with you!”

…

“Hahaha! Lin Xiao… you really are my best friend! Always remember to include me when you find a cool spot!”

After completing the membership process, Bai Shan with his hedgehog head laughed heartily, slapping Lin Xiao’s shoulder forcefully.

Lin Xiao’s mouth twitched, not because of the force but… it was just embarrassing.

Didn’t he see all the staff staring over here!?

“Alright, let’s head to the arena!”

Lin Xiao nudged Bai Shan, trying to move this shamelessly lively character along.

“By the way… what level are you thinking of joining?”

Scratching his head, Bai Shan asked eagerly, “How’s Sequence 5?”

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, unsurely replying:

“The first batch in Sequence 5… probably similar to the fourth-ranked Liu Yuqian! Maybe slightly weaker?”

“Then it’s definitely Sequence 4 for me! Why would anyone want to fight someone weaker than themselves? Hahaha…!”

Amidst Bai Shan’s hearty laughter, Lin Xiao guiltily averted his eyes.

Compared to Sequence 5, the number of rooms in Sequence 4 was halved.

The two split up, each choosing an arena to participate in.

Standing in front of Channel 2, Lin Xiao was racking his brains trying to come up with a “nickname.”

Yes, the Sequence 4 arena required him to choose a moniker.

This reminded Lin Xiao of the Hunter Association, where hunters were known by their nicknames.

After some thought, Lin Xiao typed in “Newbie” and clicked confirm… [This name has already been taken, please enter a new one!]

Someone actually took such a name!?

Lin Xiao was baffled, but deeply impressed.

After hesitating slightly, he typed another word.

[Ash]

“…”

He was somewhat hesitant to click “confirm.”

Although the name was cool and matched his “Ash Mode” perfectly, it was also so flashy and eye-catching that if he lost, it would be doubly embarrassing.

“Well…”

Forget it… it doesn’t matter, let it be embarrassing.

Yesterday, he endured the disdainful gazes of thousands of spectators, so why fear a little drizzle now?

He didn’t care about face anymore!

Click confirm!

[Naming successful! Enjoy your competition.]

No one had taken this name? It seems everyone was a bit timid, not daring to make themselves too flashy.

Lin Xiao put away his phone and swiped open the room channel.

…

“Oh-!”

A thunderous cheer echoed through the sky.

The Sequence 4 room felt… big! Very big!

It was probably more than twice the size of the Sequence 5 room.

The audience numbered around 2,000-3,000 people, and they all wore strange glasses, similar to 3D movie props, though Lin Xiao wasn’t sure what effect they had.

The arena was also massive, measuring 70 by 70 meters, with an incredibly large range.

The two contestants on stage had noticeably improved in strength, speed, far surpassing the warriors of Sequence 5.

What struck Lin Xiao the most was the oppressive aura in their demeanor, a murderous air stained by countless battles, blood, and slaughter.

Both were hunters, engaged in mutant beast hunting, living on the edge of a knife.

Their Vitalis Martial Transformation was expertly executed, meticulously calculating every bit of energy expenditure.

Lin Xiao even noticed a gray veil in the eyes of the stronger contestant.

That was the attached vitalis! This person’s Vitalis Martial Transformation had reached the Entwinement stage.

He was likely using something similar to Lin Xiao’s “Bullet Time,” as this technique was simple and practical, something everyone could figure out.

That hunter didn’t wrap vitalis around his body, probably to reduce energy consumption for the upcoming arena defense.

“Huh? Isn’t that Lin… oh right! Lin Xiao!”

From the Top Student section, a booming voice rang out, snapping Lin Xiao back to reality.

A burly man, nearly two meters tall and covered in muscle, stood up, waving his hands in excitement.

His head was round and shiny, gleaming under the lights…

Gao Liangxiong? What’s he doing here?

Due to Gao Liangxiong’s loud voice, the hunters in the contestant seats turned their gaze towards Lin Xiao, filled with scrutiny and curiosity.

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly and quickly walked over to sit beside Gao Liangxiong, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

“Lin Xiao! What are you doing in the arena room? And it’s Sequence 4!?”

Gao Liangxiong rubbed his head, his large face full of curiosity.

“…Of course, I’m here to fight in the arena.”

The booming voice was like a sonic attack, deafening, and Lin Xiao rubbed his ears, feeling helpless.

“You should be fighting in Sequence 5!”

Gao Liangxiong clapped his hands together, wrapped his arm around Lin Xiao’s neck, and whispered, “…This place is full of hunters, you can’t beat them!”

Even though he lowered his voice, to most people, it sounded like normal volume.

All the hunters around could hear him!

Lin Xiao was also curious why this guy would come to Sequence 4. His current attributes-strength 15, agility 13.

His agility had improved a bit, showing some increase in skill.

But in the Sequence 4 room, this level of skill was probably not enough.

“Can you beat them?”

“Of course not!”

Gao Liangxiong grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

He patted his bulging chest muscles, raised his eyebrows, and gave himself a thumbs-up.

“But I love challenging strong opponents! Losing is fun too!”

“…”

Lin Xiao was about to make a sarcastic comment, but was interrupted by the host’s enthusiastic voice.

“Congratulations to the ‘Ghost Tiger’ contestant for winning this round! Let’s cheer for him!”

“Oh-!”

Amidst the deafening cheers, the winning contestant chose to defend the arena.

Gao Liangxiong immediately stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed slightly to the contestants in the room.

“Big Shots! Let me go next, please don’t fight over it! Anyway, I’ll lose quickly!”

He smiled broadly, sincerely seeking the other contestants’ approval.

The hunters present seemed quite familiar with Gao Liangxiong, waving him on to the arena.

“Alright!”

Gao Liangxiong patted Lin Xiao’s shoulder, smiling boldly as he said:

“Lin Xiao, watch how I get beaten up! Then decide if you want to go up!”

Gao Liangxiong strode toward the arena, leaving Lin Xiao behind, utterly bewildered.
