1 Chapter 1: Purgatory

Tokyo, Arakawa Ward.

As night fell, far from the active and bustling during the day, the chill at night shrouded the entire ground of the Arakawa Ward.

With the development of industrialization, the Arakawa Ward has become very prosperous.

In the area where countless steel bars are crisscrossed, there is an arena between two mountain.

This steel monster is black and cold, revealing a terrifying tone and color while giving a strong sense of contrast from its surrounding.

It gives such a terrifying impression, but there were bursts of fiery cheers from inside, with the cheers seeming to awaken the wildness in people's hearts, making their emotions involuntarily high.

The arena is large enough to hold thousands or tens of thousands of people.

As a venue for a large-scale concert, it is more than enough.

In fact, it does gather as many people during a concert.

People of all shapes and sizes shouted with red eyes, while their feet stamp heavily on the ground.

"Let this little brat know how powerful you are, Ancient Greek Warrior!!!!"

"Ooooooooo!!! KO him!!!!"

"How could such a skinny little man win against the Ancient Greek Warrior!"

People were waving their hands while clenching their fists hard and with their pupils bloodshot as all their attention focused on the square ring in the center of the arena.

At this time, there were three people standing on the ring.

Standing in the middle is the referee, and the remaining two are the two C-level gladiators from the Purgatory tonight.

"Faced with such a big physique gap, no one really thinks of me winning." The black-haired youth seemed a little nervous as kept twisting his shoulders and neck.

To be honest, the opponents standing in front of him are too strong!

The other party was two meters tall and weighed more than 185kg. He was wearing a short wool cloak, but his body was basically naked. It was a replica of the ancient Greek soldier in the movie.

His muscles may have been hit with a lot of hormones, causing every muscle to have strange bulges and appear abnormal, but in this case, this abnormality can more deter opponents.

What made the black-haired youth care a little was not the explosive muscles, but the strange outfit of the opponent, but since he could become a C-level gladiators of Purgatory his strength was definitely unquestionable, and this outfit might be related to the fighting technique used by the opponent.

An underground fight is different from a sports fight. There are not so many regulations here, and it is common to lose your life accidentally. Fortunately, he chose Purgatory, If it's changed to Kengan or Bishamon, it would not be difficult to say. After all, one of the regulations of purgatory is no kill.

However as expected, fighting still makes my blood boil.

The black-haired youth thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth twitches involuntarily.

"Little devil, if I were you, I wouldn't be happy."

The strong man suddenly spoke, his face was expressionless, and he seemed to be irritated by the smile of the black-haired youth.

"Playing with me Thanatos is not a happy thing. Don't break your hands and feet at a young age and rely on a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

The black-haired youth looked dismissive and said with a grin, "I hope your skills can match your talking skill."

These words made Thanatos, the Ancient Greek Warrior squinted his eyes and gradually clenched his fists. "You are a celebrity in our purgatory, Shen Pinyu!"

"You were personally brought into purgatory by the big boss a few months ago and it only took you two months from being a layman to the current C-level gladiators, and so far you has never lost."

"I'm different from those guys at the bottom. I'll let you know what fear is." After he finishes speaking, he shows a bodybuilding standing posture.

"Stop showing off your hormone-filled muscles, it makes me sick." Shen Pinyu twisted his shoulders and neck and said a sentence that made Thanatos' blood pressure soar.

The referee hurriedly interrupted the two of them and shouted to the surrounding audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the usual practice, I want to explain the rules of the game to the audience who came to watch for the first time."

"The unique rules of the purgatory that separate them from the other Underground battle is expressed mainly in three rules."

"The first is knockdown. If the player does not stand up within tens of seconds of the referee's countdown, the game is over."

"The second is Ring Out. Once any part of the player's body touches the outside of the ring, it is considered as a defeat."

"The third and most important thing is No Kill! If the gladiator kills the opponent during the fight, he will be sentenced to defeat immediately in violation of the rules, and the fight money will be also confiscated."

After the referee quickly went through the rules, he raised his arms and shouted passionately, "Okay, time is running out, let's start the fight!"

"Supernova, Shen Pinyu vs Ancient Greek Warrior, Thanatos, gladiators from both sides get ready!"

"Humph~"

Thanatos hummed angrily from his nose with his body getting slowly lowered while his arms were placed parallel to his chest.

"Wrestling... Most likely it's from Greco-Roman."

Shen Pinyu adjusts the center of his body and poses a standard fighting stance.

"Thanatos....the god of death in Greek mythology? It's really different from those C-level gladiators from before."

"Ready!!!FIGHT-------"

The referee waved his high arm and stepped back quickly.

At the moment when the referee's voice fell, Thanatos stomped on the ground hard, and the powerful force shattered the area then his whole figure was like a high-speed train, as he rushed toward Shen Pinyu with unparalleled power.

To allow such a bulky body to have such speed, his lower body strength is obviously extremely developed.

Although Shen Pinyu is about 1.8 meters tall and weighs more than 70 kilograms, he has a streamlined muscle and he can beat those so-called coaches in the gym, but there is still a very big difference compared with Thanatos, so he must not confront him head-on.

Facing Thanatos' attack, Shen Pinyu easily dodged the opponent's onslaught with quick and concise movements that waste no extra stamina.

Thanatos seemed to have expected it long ago, as he opened his arms and embraced his opponent enthusiastically. In an instant, Shen Pinyu was shrouded in shadows.

"A grappling..."

In the eyes of Shen Pinyu, the image of Thanatos's charging train has become a high-speed sawtooth, and as long as he is approached, he will be rolled into meat scum.

As long as he is caught, he will not end well.

Shen Pinyu, bent his knees slightly, as he avoided the opponent's death hug.

"Sure enough, with this physique and wrestling skill, it's really hard to deal with..."

Shen Pinyu thought in his heart, then he leaned more slightly and place his hand on the ground and exert force on his hand before kicking Thanatos' completely defenseless face in an upside-down position.

"Hmm~" Thanatos groaned, as he two steps back while blood flowed from his nostrils and his face was covered with mud, but there was no other evidence of damage on his face other than a nosebleed, showing that Thanatos is indeed a seasoned fighter, as he disperses the power from the attack the moment he is hit.

The next second, a palm grabbed Shen Pinyu's ankle and threw him towards the edge of the ring.

Seeing Shen Pinyu being flung into the air, the audience could not help exclaiming, but Shen Pinyu was not as desperate and flustered as they thought.

Instead, he was calm, a little too calm.

At this moment, a coolness swept across his abdomen, just like the cold air in summer, flowing through his blood vessels and penetrating into his muscles and bones. This coolness kept him calm beyond ordinary people.

Seeing that he was about to fall into the ring, Shen Pinyu twisted his waist and fell, falling like a feather from mid-air and his knees bent slightly to disperse the impact.

Although the ankle held by Thanatos was a little sore, Shen Pinyu didn't care about the pain.

Almost as soon as he fell, he disappeared from the spot, and none of the audience including Thanatos could react.

Shen Pinyu lowered his body and started to sprint, but this kind of straight attack method is too easy to distinguish.

Thanatos raised his brows, he did not lower his vigilance because of the opponent's straightforward attack because, from the movement that Shen Pinyushowedn after being thrown away, Thanatos knew that this kid was definitely not a weak fighter.

'It's okay, my trap has been laid out. '

Thanatos sneered, From the wrestling stance he had just shown, he had already set up a big net. Like a hunter, he just had to wait with peace of mind for the prey to fall into the big net he set up.

What he is best at is not Greek wrestling, but ancient Greek fighting, Pankration!

Pankration is a technique that can use in boxing and wrestling at the same time. This technique appeared in 648 BC, and Pankration was one of the events of the ancient Greek Olympic Games. Although it is a competition, it's very Fierce, and it can be said that there are no taboos. As long as the opponent is close, he can take advantage of his physique and his hidden boxing skill to crush his opponent!

Thanatos can even already imagine the terrified scream of when Shen Pinyu when he fell down into the trap.

This is the hunter's favorite sound.

The distance between them is getting closer and closer and when the teenager is within his reach, the image of Thanatos's fantasy did not appear, instead, his head was hit hard and blood spurted out of his mouth with a few teeth between them.

'Wh... what's the situation, I didn't see how this guy did it at all, I just felt that my jaw was suddenly hit hard! '

He felt a little dizzy after being hit by this blow, but his consciousness was still clear.

Can continue!

Thanatos's face was stained with blood and his expression was hideous as he swing out his right arm, creating a sound of howling wind.

"Is the hidden means boxing..."

The swing is very solid.

Almost at the moment when Thanatos threw his fist, Shen Pinyu turned to the side, and the elbow of his right arm was already blasted out, targeting the path where Thanatos's fist was going to advance.

That's right, this attack of Shen Pinyu has no intention of avoiding or defending at all. He wants to use violence to curb violence and crush his opponent's pride!
