The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 397



After Lucifer and Callan sign a release of responsibility, they break into the arena. The noisy arena became quiet as soon as the two entered. Then, there was the sound of discussion.


“Damn it! Hey, isn't that Master Callan from the Elrod family? Why is he in the arena? Who's the other one? Will they fight?”


"He looks familiar. Let me think. I remember! It's Master Lucifer of the Grim family. Back then, he was a famous hedonist in the Royal Region. But I think his family sent him a few years ago, and he hasn't come back in a long time. I can't believe he's here now.”


“The families of Grim and Elrod are mortal enemies. Their powers were not much different, and the two were the first heirs. Since they were here, there would be something interesting to witness. Ha ha ha ha! Thank God I came here today!”


“I don't think that Master Lucifer will give us the show after he returns. It was rare to see a fight between the first heirs of two great families. This trip is worth it!”


Right now, a voice sounded from the arena loudspeaker.


“Halo, everyone. Due to special circumstances, the next beast battle would now be a human battle. I'm sure you've seen the people who participated in this battle. One is Master Lucifer Grim from one of the eight leading families in the Milky Way, while the other is Master Callan Elrod, also from one of the eight leading families in the Milky Way. Both of them were unparalleled geniuses in the Milky Way. We just wait for what show they will show later.”


After getting confirmation from the arena officer, the crowd went crazy. They were even noisier than during the battle of ferocious beasts. This was not only a battle between two humans but also a battle between two great families.


If they win, they will be considered great. Not only would they bring glory to their families, but they could also vent their anger and oppress the opposing families.


If they lose, they will be very embarrassed. Not only would they humiliate themselves, their entire family would also be humiliated. This is no joke. As one of the eight leading families in the Milky Way, honor was very important to them.


If Lucifer loses, he will be punished by his family, no matter how unique his identity is. If Callan lost, he would be in a worse situation since he might even lose his position as the first heir. It's a pretty serious consequence.


But they had no reason to retreat now that they had already entered this place. Of course, the most important thing was that they had absolute confidence in themselves. They don't think they're going to lose to the others. That's why they're doing this. As the first heirs, they knew what would happen if they lost.


Callan and Lucifer stand facing each other in the arena. Their tiny human bodies seemed out of place in the vast arena. But they could emit incredible energy from their tiny bodies. Body size is never used to measure the amount of power a creature has.


“Cally, you can still retreat now. As long as you kneel down and prostrate to me, then say, Forgive me, Father, I will let you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless if I accidentally kill or incapacitate you. We've both signed off on the relinquishment of responsibility" Lucifer said arrogantly.


“Lucy, does your head hurt?


Pull back your words. I wonder who will give up later. I won't let you even if you kneel in front of me. I have to show you how strong I am. Don't think you're invincible just because you've been cultivating your grandmaster for a few years. You're still far away from me!" Reply Callan.


Then, the two stopped talking. They work hard to prepare themselves. They want to fight in their best condition. Although it sounds easy, they know it won't be too easy to beat each other. They had been fighting since they were young, so they knew each other very well.


There had previously been a period of peace because Grandmaster Grim had asked Lucifer to cultivate with him and he could not go out for quite a long time.


David, Mia, and the two old men watched Lucifer and Callan in the arena. The two old men paid the most attention and would be prepared to face any danger to save both of them. David was not interested in them. For him, both were too weak.


After Mia found out David's true strength, she was much more relaxed. He was not worried that he would cause trouble for David again. According to sources, the Allaband family, ranked third among the eight leading families, had a grudge against the Tuffin family, but they never did anything because of Grandmaster Tuffin.


This showed just how great the deterrent power of Grandmaster Tuffin was. But David could kill Grandmaster Tuffin with a single swing of his sword. Therefore, the only family among the eight prominent families in the Milky Way that could threaten David was the Drake family, which ranked first. After all, the Drake family was ranked first among the other eight families.


Mia is very happy now. The stronger David is, the safer he is. It will be beneficial for his future.


At this moment, a strong wind blew across the arena.


Duaarr!


Lucifer and Callan's energy rises to its peak. They moved at the same time. They disappeared from where they stood and rushed towards each other. Then they met in the middle.


Boom up!


The collision caused a deafening sound, and the shockwave began to spread. The spectators around them, who were slightly weaker, were all pushed to the floor while holding their ears in pain.


Some people fainted from not being able to withstand the shock wave. The main audience is people from the lower layers of society. Although they were much stronger than the earthlings, they were still unable to handle the shock waves of the two Cosmos Rankers colliding with each other.


After that collision, Lucifer and Callan retreated quickly. They don't care if they hurt the audience after they re-compose themselves. They could only look at their opponents, and they only wanted to defeat their opponents.


Hence, they kept an eye on their opponents. Soon they were back in the fight.


Bum Bum Bum Bum Bum!


At this moment, an invisible shield appeared above the arena, stopping the spread of shock waves. But no one could see this shield. Everyone was still trying their best to escape the chaos.


As time went on, the spectators realized the fight in the arena would not affect them anymore. Therefore, they thought this was one of the arena's functions. The scene calmed down again, and everyone started to attentively watch the battle in the arena.


It was rare to see a battle of this level. As expected, the power of David's mind created an invisible shield. The power of his mind was at Infinity level 10, so it could withstand the attacks from Infinity Rankers. Therefore, this shockwave was nothing to him.


After David saved the audience, he began to pay attention to the fight.


“David, who do you think will win?" ask Mia.


“It's hard to say. They are on the same level as each other. It all depends who has a stronger trump card.” replied David.


Although he could guess the power of Lucifer and Callan, he could not see their hidden tricks. Almost all direct descendants of this large group would have some trump cards up their sleeves.


Perhaps some incredible combat skills or ferocious hidden weapons, could even become powerful weapons. Or it could be a mysterious herb that could increase their combat power in the blink of an eye.


Just like Adan at the time. His strength skyrocketed after he consumed the Blood Burning Potion. David doesn't know what these guys have. So, David could not be sure who would win in the end.


“I hope Mr. Callan will win. Lucifer is too evil and shameless, I don't like him. He kept bothering me for a long time and caused me a lot of trouble. I finally got some peace for a few years, and now he's here again.” said Mia, feeling a little annoyed.


After she said that, the old man next to Lucifer turned to look at her. But Mia doesn't care. David smiled with understanding. If at first Mia would not dare to talk about Master Lucifer that way. Now he knows David's powers, and the Grim family is no longer a threat. So he dared to say anything.


"It's okay. He won't get a chance to bother you again.” David comforting.


At this moment, the old man next to Callan turned his head towards David. He was very curious as to why David dared to say that. Although he knew David was not that simple, Master Lucifer was not easy to deal with.


Moreover, he had a unique identity. If anything happens to him, the Grandmaster Grim will come out. The fight in the arena stopped just as the old man next to Lucifer wanted to say something.


The old men turned to look up quickly. David and Mia also looked over. Lucifer and Callan have drifted away from each other. Both were panting, and their clothes were torn. There was no result from the previous fight, and they just tested each other.


"Lucy, is that all you got after cultivating with your grandmaster for so long? Does your grandmaster know how to teach you?" Callan said cynically.


“Shut! From now on you won't be able to hurt me again."


After Lucifer said that, he disappeared. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Callan and slapped him. Callan sneered and caught Lucifer's hand without fear. At this moment, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Lucifer's lips. Taking a closer look, one could see a puff of black smoke coming out from Lucifer's palm directed at Callan.


'Black Demon Palm!'


Lucifer snarled in his heart. Black Demon Palm was a low-level battle skill, but it was also a skill that made Grandmaster Grim famous. Once a person was exposed, the Black Demon Palm poison would enter their body, causing all muscles and organs to fail to function.


That's very deadly. The Black Demon Palm was not the same as other skills with powerful strength. Other skills would cause a huge sound when used, so the opponent would realize it first and then think of an appropriate countermeasure.


But the Black Demon Palm was different. One could use the Black Demon Palm without making any sound. There would only be black smoke surrounding one's palm, and their opponents would not notice it if they did not notice it.


This is the best trump card in terms of hidden attacks. Therefore, even if the Black Demon Palm was a low-level fighting skill, its strength was not inferior to any mid-level combat skill.


Grandmaster Grim used this skill to move unhindered in the Milky Way. Even so, the Black Demon Palm used to be notoriously difficult to learn. Grandmaster Grim forced Lucifer to study the Black Demon Palm for many years now.


Only when Lucifer learned it was he allowed to go out. A combat skill was the trump card every family rarely showed. There were some low or medium level combat skills.


Normally, eight prominent families would each have one or two of them. Meanwhile, high-level combat skills would become extremely valuable. His strength was more than one level above low or medium level combat skills, let alone top level combat skills. The value of combat skills at this level was immeasurable.


Duuakk!


After he was hit, Callan flew over ten meters back before being able to stabilize himself. Just now, Callan reacted hastily, and the blow caused Lucifer to stagger back a few steps. Lucifer is very excited.


'Success!'


Lucifer had just studied the Black Demon Palm, so his strength was still limited.
