Chapter 142: Chapter 142: No Draw Between the Lu Family and the Situ Family

Arthur indeed isn’t physically as gifted as Similov; in fact, Lu Xiao had never seen anyone who could match Similov in terms of bodily prowess.

This guy’s body could definitely be considered a natural oddity.

But that didn’t stop Arthur from going toe to toe with Similov, because Arthur had his own specialty, which was his exceptional ability to take a beating.

It’s said that Arthur had been resented since childhood, basically being raised through beatings.

Being beaten constantly also led Arthur to develop a certain obsession, which was to crazily enhance his resistance to physical attacks.

Two minutes later, both of them were battered and bruised, gasping heavily for air.

"Damn Birdman, you’re getting tougher," Similov couldn’t help but grumble.

Hearing Similov’s words, Arthur chuckled with a "Heh heh."

That’s right, getting tougher!

Do you know how I broke through the Body Barrier? I let those lunatics from the Knight Group go wild on me for seven straight days.

In those seven days, I was beaten up countless times.

And I was beaten with added ingredients.

Sometimes they’d sprinkle salt before beating me, sometimes chili powder, but more often they’d use all sorts of drugs concocted by the nutjobs of the Knight Group.

Some drugs they couldn’t even name themselves; they just dumped them all over me.

But in the end, I persevered and became stronger.

It was only when people from the Situ Family came that I realized this was known as breaking through the Body Barrier, and this was called Inner Strength.

"You’re not bad, you beast. I thought you were lagging behind," Arthur snorted dismissively.

He had thought that he could easily bully Similov later on, but to his surprise, this guy had broken through as well.

It was still the same as before, an even match.

Both Similov and Arthur had quite decent Chinese, despite some accents, but they were mostly understandable.

Hearing their conversation, the audience found it somewhat humorous.

It was apparent that Similov and Arthur knew each other from before; now one was with the Lu Family, and the other with the Situ Family—how coincidental.

"Quit the crap!" Similov roared, charging once again.

Arthur certainly wouldn’t show weakness and likewise swung his fists, smashing them towards Similov with ferocity.

As time went on, many in the crowd began to look at Similov and Arthur with a more serious expression.

In their view, being able to break through the Body Barrier on their own was surely a sign of extraordinary talent, but these outsiders were still amateurs, and despite having reached Internal Energy, they were definitely inferior in terms of combat ability.

Yet both Similov and Arthur were incredibly ferocious.

With their berserk strength and abnormal bodily defense, they could probably put up a fight even against someone in the Mid-stage Internal Energy.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a muffled thud echoed through the arena.

The fists of Similov and Arthur almost simultaneously struck each other’s faces.

Then, both of them simultaneously fell backward, thudding onto the ground.

"Damn... you, Birdman." Similov struggled to lift his head and cursed. After Arthur’s breakthrough, his body hardness had increased a lot; I’ve swollen my fists and exhausted my strength and still haven’t won.

Arthur was much the same, lying on the ground gasping for air, nearly completely drained of strength.

"How about... a draw?" After a few seconds of rest, Arthur suggested.

"Fine," Similov immediately agreed. What else could we do? My legs are wobbling.

"No way!" The next second, someone from both the Lu Family and Situ Family clamored in unison.

"Either win or lose; there are no draws between the Lu Family and the Situ Family!"

"Arthur, get up and continue the fight, beat the crap out of these Lu bastards for me."

"Who are you calling bastards? This is the Lu Family’s turf! Don’t get too cocky!"

"I’m talking about you Lu surnamed—what about being cocky? If you dare, let’s fight; we of the Situ Family have two Heavenly Men. What do you make of that?"

In the square, Similov and Arthur had already shakily stood up again.

After exchanging a look, they both saw a sense of helplessness in each other’s eyes.

The Lu Family and the Situ Family really did have a terrible relationship. The key point was that although they often fought each other, they had been friends all along.

If they ever arranged to grab a drink together in the future and the clan found out, wouldn’t they get beaten to death—damn it.

"It doesn’t really matter who wins or loses between them; after all, I’ll be the first." Just as the Lu Family and Situ Family were arguing fiercely, Lu Xiao took a few steps forward and said with a smile.
