Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Lu Xiao Admits Defeat

During his forward charge, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Lu Xiao’s mouth.

Surrender?

Old fool, what rubbish are you spouting!

"You’re the one who should be surrendering!" Lu Xiao drew back his lips, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

As he spoke, a boundless giant shield bore down upon his head.

Below the arena, many had already bared their teeth in grins, after all, the sight of a living person being crushed into pieces was certain to be quite bloody.

Edson’s eyes curled into a cold smirk.

Kid! It’s all over now.

"You wanted to see my trump card? Well, open your eyes and watch closely!" Lu Xiao suddenly shouted, and then he no longer suppressed the mutant ability within his meridians.

The mutant ability that his meridians could contain, at that moment, surged out like floodgates bursting open, a torrent breaking free from Lu Xiao’s body.

One must know, Lu Xiao had absorbed the abilities of three Mutated Crystals prior to this.

Two of them were intact, and about half of another had been consumed.

So, at the very least, it was the equivalent of 2.5 Mutated Crystals worth of mutant ability.

A single Mutated Crystal represents the total amount of mutant ability possessed by a Fourth-stage Mutant.

The total amount of mutant ability in his meridians now was the same as that of two and a half Fourth-stage Mutants.

More crucially, his release speed was sufficiently fast.

Chen Fei had said that Lu Xiao’s super-high-speed release of mutant abilities was the Mutant Ability he had gained.

Although it seemed unremarkable and didn’t sound flashy, in a real fight, it was incredibly explosive.

Especially for someone like Lu Xiao, who had an extremely large amount of internal mutant ability, it was like a fine steed matched with a good saddle.

"Open again! Locking Eight Gates, shatter for me!" Lu Xiao roared once more.

Locking Eight Gates was a method of energy control, and since mutant ability was also a form of energy, it too, could be governed by Locking Eight Gates.

"Song!" A bizarre and eerie screech echoed throughout the tournament area.

Then, those rampaging mutant abilities emanating from Lu Xiao’s body suddenly contracted and converged, forming an almost dazzling ball of light energy in an instant.

"Go!" In the next moment, Lu Xiao hurled the ball of energy directly at the giant shield above him.

The powerful backlash turned Lu Xiao’s figure into almost a blur.

Just a blink, and Lu Xiao was in front of Edson.

Lu Xiao’s hand, shaped like a claw, tightly grabbed onto Edson’s shoulder blade, while the silver dagger in his other hand plunged into Edson’s ribs.

One stab, two stabs, three stabs...

At the same time, the energy ball had already collided with the giant shield.

There wasn’t a massive roar, only the cracking sound of the giant shield shattering upon impact.

After a brief standoff, the giant shield crumbled piece by piece and then dissipated into mutant abilities that faded into the air.

Edson, watching all this unfold before him, had a stunned and bewildered look in his eyes, his body gradually weakening and slumping due to the significant blood loss.

Beneath the arena, there was a dead silence.

The process was simple, and everyone saw it.

Lu Xiao suddenly burst out from the pressure of the barrier, then conjured a bizarrely shimmering light ball in his hand and threw it; right after that, Lu Xiao’s speed skyrocketed, reaching Edson’s side and jabbing his dagger dozens of times into Edson’s waist.

But why?

Especially that shimmering light ball, where did that come from?

It wasn’t Inner Qi for sure, but if not Inner Qi, then what?

Could it be a superpower? But Lu Xiao is from Hua Country, and Hua Country people can’t become Mutants, right?

Everything happened right before their eyes, yet it all seemed nonsensical.

"What... is that?" On the ground, Edson asked with a weak voice.

Lu Xiao had given him so many stabs, each one vicious, yet none were fatal.

"My trump card, surprised or not, expected or unexpected?" Of course, Lu Xiao didn’t bother explaining to Edson.

This was something that couldn’t be explained, as he couldn’t just announce that he, a Heavenly Man, had mastered the method to contain mutant abilities, as that would make every Mutant feel threatened and they would undoubtedly seek to eliminate him.

So, the best course of action was to keep silent about it, let them guess.

Edson was breathing more rapidly, his entire waist had been blown up by Lu Xiao’s stabbings, and he was losing blood too quickly.

"Alright, I now declare that I, Lu Xiao, surrender."

"Mr. Edson is simply too strong; I can’t beat him, and if we were to continue, I fear for my own life."

Having said that, Lu Xiao walked to the edge of the arena and then jumped down.

The venue fell into silence once more.

Every word from Lu Xiao was like a slap across Edson’s face.

Edson was too strong, not surrendering would lead to death...

How ironic. Truth be told, if Lu Xiao had stood in the arena for one more minute, Edson might have fainted from excessive blood loss. If Lu Xiao wished so, he could have sent Edson to his death at any moment.
