“So she’s the dark horse among the inferior disciples this time around, huh…” Another elder voiced.

Afterward, the contest continued as one match after the other was fought until it was finally the time for the thirtieth match to begin.
Knowing it was his turn next, Virus looked at the golden beauty and voiced, “Go and watch the match from the disciples’ section…”
“Alright, master.” Understanding the situation, the golden beauty left as Virus began to walk inside the dark tunnel which led him to the Colosseum.
However, while walking, Virus spotted Deadter who was waiting for him in the middle of the tunnel.
And seeing Virus finally arrive, an evil grin found its way on his face as he said, “Haha, isn’t this apprentice-brother Vee? Don’t tell me you’re my opponent?”
However, not stopping at all, Virus ignored him completely as he passed by him and continued on his path.
Seeing himself ignored, veins began to appear on Deadter’s already dark face as he uttered with a deeply enraged voice, “Alright… then let me show you that your biggest mistake in life was offending me, my sister, and the Ilon family.”
Voicing those words, he no longer bothered himself with Virus as he too began to follow after him toward the stage of the Colosseum.

Seeing Deadter and some other unknown disciple exit the tunnel, the disciples began to whisper among themselves, “Oh… it’s Deadter against an unknown disciple… I heard Deadter is already at the seventh level of the Qi Passage Opening Stage and even close to the Eighth level!!!”
“Right, right! He’s one of the strongest among the Inferior disciples, and I heard he can become a Normal disciple whenever he wants… but because he wants to be at the top, he refuses to do so…”
“In conclusion… we all know what’s going to happen next to that poor unknown disciple.” Another said.
“I kinda feel sorry for him though… I mean… how can he be so unlucky to face Deadter in his first match today?” One of the female disciples muttered.
As they finally walked to their spot on the fighting field of the Colosseum, Virus glanced at Deadter for a moment before connecting to his ring on his left hand.
‘Trigger Initial Configuration –– Machine gun!’
Instantly afterward, the ring on his middle finger began to transform into a long matte black Machine gun with ten pairs of vertical lines of blue light apparent on each side of it.
There was also a glass screen above the gun which was shining blue all over.
Strangely though, the gun didn’t seem to have any triggers at all.
This was actually because there was no need to pull the trigger anymore, as unlike the previous handgun, now the only requirement was making a connection between the carrier and the gun itself.
So from now on, the only thing Virus needed was to connect to the Machine gun in order to shoot directly whenever he desired.
And this actually came with a huge advantage to the current Virus, because as of now, there was no need to waste time when he wanted to shoot a target.
Previously, his mind was restricted by the limited speed of his body, which in this case was his fingers, so a very short period of time was wasted every time he shot at somebody.
But with this new Machine gun, he was able to directly connect to the gun itself and shoot, so there was no wasted time in between as there was no trigger to be pulled anymore.
At the same time, when the gun appeared on his left hand, Virus commanded the gun, ‘Paralysis Mode – Follow’.
By this point in time, most disciples and elders were in confusion, surprise, and even shock as they stared at the strange metal that had appeared on this unknown disciple’s hand out of nowhere, as they thought, ‘Did his ring just change into that black metal?’
Some of the elders’ eyes were even shining with a strange light as if they had just witnessed something amazing.
A certain elder who was sitting alone in one particular area of the elders’ section began to mumble after recognizing Virus, “So he’s the disciple who achieved the color white in the aptitude test… and then soon afterward, he achieved a hundred percent in the inferior library examination through mysterious means…Ahh, I smell lots of secrets on his body… and moreover… now there is that ring of him which changed into some kind of weapon… hmm, actually… could all those heaven-defying occurrences be related to that ring?”
By the time he was finished mumbling, his eyes were almost blood red because of greed, as he thought, ‘Uhhh… I have to dig out all those precious secrets… it’s definitely going to be extremely beneficial for my cultivation…’
Another elder’s eyes were also currently shining in an intense light of greed just like the previous elder, as he thought, ‘Oh my heavens… Is that some kind of ‘Space Weapon’?’
Different thoughts were currently passing through every elder’s mind with different emotions of light greed, amazement, surprise, appreciation, etc. Showing in them.
After thinking that, the elder who suspected the ring was a ‘Space Weapon’ opened his mouth and mumbled, “Well… it might be something quite useless as well… let’s just watch for now…”
The judge elder was also quite surprised by now, however, he still didn’t forget to announce the start of the match, “Begin!”
“Finally… I can teach you some lessons!!!” With a distorted face, Deadter yelled as he began to charge at Virus with the fastest speed he could muster.
In the meantime, Virus began to lift his left hand toward Deadter as well.
However, by the time Virus was successfully pointing his gun at him, Deadter had already run half the distance toward him.
‘Fire!’ Then, in an instant, this command arrived at the machine gun as a rapid succession of blue lights were discharged at Deadter.
The blue lights currently being released were so fast that there was almost no pause between the launch of each blue light.
And as a result of that, from the sidelines, the extremely close blue lights almost seemed like a laser-like blue line which was storming at its target.
However, before the gun was pointed at Deadter, he remembered the skinny male’s account of the details of the weapon Virus had used the previous day and knew he had to dodge its blue lights at all costs.
So, he immediately distanced himself from the pointing end of the barrel of the Machine gun.
And so in doing that, he was able to successfully dodge lots of the blue lights which passed from beside him from meters away without changing their direction in the least.
Seeing him dodge, as a countermeasure, Virus began to change the direction of the gun toward Deadter with the fastest speed he could while the gun continued to fire.
And so, finally, some of the blue lights were shooting in the direction of Deadter, though he was also in the process of trying to dodge them, albeit in vain.
Afterward, just like that, and much to his shock, when the blue lights were at a certain distance away from him, they began to change their directions exactly toward him.
