My carefree life in space

Chapter 178 Battle in the Arena

The next day, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze had just arrived at the hotel lobby when they ran into Lisa walking towards them with a man.

“Shushu, this is my older brother Kyle. Brother, this is the one I told you about…” Lisa originally wanted the two sides to get to know each other, but before she could finish speaking, she turned her head and saw her older brother looking like he was about to start a battle.

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Lisa was a little embarrassed and quickly tugged at Kyle's sleeve, trying to get him to behave.

Kyle ignored him, his eyes scanning Moze up and down, trying to figure out why this man gave him a fighting feeling.

Strangely, he couldn't sense the other party's level. Was it because Jin Yuanren's cultivation system was different from theirs?

"Sir, I wonder if I would have the opportunity to spar with you?" Kyle asked Moze.

Mo Ze was a little tired. Why did these two siblings want to fight him as soon as they met? Or were all the people of the Olai Empire warmongers?

Hearing Kyle's words, Lin Shushu thought of Lisa from yesterday, and she couldn't help but chuckle. This chuckle attracted the attention of the other three.

Kyle then noticed Lin Shushu standing to the side. He had been so focused on looking at Mo Ze that he hadn't realized how beautiful this woman was.

Lin Shushu stood there quietly, her skin as white as snow with a faint pink tinge, like the most delicate flower blooming in spring. Her eyes were bright and spirited, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a gentle smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

This serene and gentle demeanor was so different from the women of the Olay Empire that Kyle was momentarily stunned.

Mo Ze noticed his gaze, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He stood in front of Lin Shushu, blocking Kyle's view, his eyes containing a warning.

Lisa noticed her brother's rudeness and quickly stepped forward to pull him back.

Kyle then snapped out of his daze, realizing his rudeness, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you, it's just that..." He was too embarrassed to continue, because the man next to him was practically spitting fire in his eyes.

“You want to fight? Sure, let’s pick a place!” Mo Ze suddenly spoke up.

"Ah! You agree? Great! Come with me." Kyle was surprised that the other party agreed to his request so easily and responded repeatedly.

Lin Shushu did not stop them; she also wanted to see how strong the people from the Olay Empire were.

Lisa was also very excited, wanting to know who was better between the two.

She was more inclined to believe it was her brother, after all, his fire-type ability had reached level seven, which was considered above average even in their empire. She didn't believe that this Jin Yuanren could compare to her brother.

Led by the Kyle siblings, they arrived at a gladiatorial arena, divided into several sections, where many people were already engaged in duels. Their arrival did not attract much attention.

Having chosen their spot, Moze and Kyle stood on opposite sides, their gazes meeting in the air, sparking invisible flames.

Mo Ze stood tall and straight, like a sword drawn from its sheath, his sharp aura impossible to ignore, exuding a sense of oppression. Kyle, on the other hand, was tall and strong, radiating a fiery aura, a symbol of having reached level seven in fire-based abilities.

With a crisp gong sound, the battle officially began, but neither of them made a move, clearly wanting the other to make the first move.

Not wanting to waste time, Mo Ze made the first move. He quickly formed hand seals, and golden spiritual energy instantly gathered in his palms, transforming into sharp golden spiritual energy spikes that shot towards Kyle like lightning.

Upon seeing this, Kyle was shocked. When did Jin Yuanren acquire such an ability? Surprised as he was, this was not the time to dwell on it.

He immediately unleashed his fire-based power, creating a blazing wall of fire around himself, which blocked the spiritual energy spikes one by one. The golden and red light collided and burst into dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire arena.

This phenomenon immediately attracted most of the people in the arena, who rushed over to watch.

"Isn't that Kyle? He's a level seven fire-type ability user. This is going to be interesting."

"Who is he fighting? I've never seen him before. He doesn't look like someone from our country."

“I know, he’s from the Jin Yuan Empire. I’ve met a few people like him before.”

"Who do you think will win?"

"Is that even a question? Of course it's Kyle!"

The two fighters ignored the discussions outside the arena. After one exchange, they had both gained a certain understanding of each other.

Is this the cultivation system of the Olay Empire? It does bear some resemblance to the methods of immortal cultivation.

He has now reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His spiritual power is powerful and refined, and every fluctuation of his aura seems to contain the toughness and sharpness of metal.

He wasn't disappointed that Kyle had neutralized his attack; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit. If he had only accepted the challenge earlier out of anger at Kyle's rudeness, now he wanted a serious fight.

In the blink of an eye, Kyle's counterattack had already begun.

Kyle moved his hands, and the flames under his control transformed into various shapes, sometimes like a roaring fire lion, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Moze; sometimes like a winding fire snake, nimbly weaving through the air, searching for Moze's weaknesses.

Mo Ze moved nimbly through the flames like a ghost, skillfully using his metal-elemental spiritual power to deflect the fire attacks one by one while waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

The battle intensified, and the arena floor was blasted into large craters by spiritual energy and flames, with smoke and dust billowing everywhere.

Just when Kyle thought the two sides were deadlocked, Mo Ze suddenly sharpened his eyes, his golden core began to circulate wildly, and his golden spiritual power instantly soared to a new level.

He thrust both hands forward with a sudden burst, and a massive golden palm print of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air, pressing down on Kyle with overwhelming force.

Kyle felt the immense pressure and his expression changed slightly, but he did not back down. He concentrated all his energy, unleashing his fire-based abilities to the fullest extent, fusing his entire body into flames, transforming into a giant fireball, which he then slammed into the golden palm print.

However, the moment the two made contact, Kyle sensed a tremendous difference in power. The golden palm print crushed the fireball with overwhelming force, and the remaining power continued to bombard Kyle.

Kyle was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the force. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

He struggled to get up, but his internal powers were in disarray, making it difficult for him to fight again.

Mo Ze slowly withdrew his spiritual power, his gaze calm as he looked at Kyle. Kyle lay on the ground, staring at Mo Ze standing in the center of the arena, his heart filled with shock.

He never imagined that he would be defeated by Jin Yuanren. This battle made him realize his shortcomings and gave him a completely new understanding and awe of Jin Yuanren.

Everyone present, except Lin Shushu, found this result unbelievable. The incredibly powerful Kyle had actually lost to a mere Jin Yuanren!

Lisa was filled with lingering fear, her face flushing red as she thought about how she had been so arrogant as to challenge Mo Ze yesterday.

Kyle took out a bottle of energy liquid from the spatial portal and drank it. Then he stood up and walked up to Moze, saying sincerely, "You won. I am ashamed of my inferiority!"

"You're not bad either," Mo Ze complimented.

Kyle shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying nothing more, and walked with Moze toward the place where Lin Shushu and Lisa were standing.
