The Life of Lust Demon

The news spread like wildfire, drawing in spectators from the beginner class and even those who had finished their matches hours ago. Members of the advanced class also flocked to the intermediate class area, intrigued by the unprecedented event.

Since the Sky Martial Court's inception, nothing like this had ever occurred. What began as a martial arts competition had transformed into a challenge targeted specifically at Anos.

Who could withstand such audacity?

Anos stood atop the battle stage, surveying the sea of hundreds. His gaze swept across the crowd, his thoughts apparent: "Amateurs, amateurs everywhere. This is getting ridiculous!"

"Who's first?" Anos asked, his gaze sweeping the crowd.

Robert snorted, stepping forward. "I'll go first!" His eyes blazed with resentment, fueled by his longstanding displeasure with Anos.

At Qi Building Eight Stars, Robert's battle strength was formidable, unmatched among his intermediate class peers. Many believed that if he reached Qi Building Nine Stars, he would secure a top-three spot.

The crowd eagerly anticipated Anos's downfall at Robert's hands.

Robert's motivations ran deeper. He sought to punish Anos for his audacity, especially after Anos's transgression against Amelia. Defeating Anos would earn Robert recognition within the academy and, more importantly, Amelia's favor.

Robert's determination burned brighter, driven by the prospect of killing two birds with one stone.

"Go, Senior Robert!"

"Teach Anos a lesson! Show him what's what!"

"Beat him to a pulp! Take him down a notch!"

"For the honor of the intermediate class!"

The crowd's fervor swelled, with intermediate class students rallying behind Robert.

Robert strode forward, his confident stride underscoring his determination. Shouldering the weight of his classmates' expectations, he exuded an aura of unwavering assurance.

As he reached the battle stage, Robert's gaze locked onto Anos, his eyes burning with resolve.

Standing before Anos, Robert glared coldly. His aura rippled as he declared, "Your gravest mistake was entering the intermediate class, thinking you're superior. I'll make you the laughing stock of Orchid Flower Academy!"

Anos smirked. "And what if you lose? Won't you become the laughing stock instead?"

Robert erupted into laughter. "Lose? Me? Ha! That's impossible!"

The crowd shared Robert's confidence. Compared to Jin Kazama, Robert was significantly stronger, bolstered by his martial arts background. Born into a martial arts family, Robert had trained since childhood, granting him a combat edge.

After laughing, Robert pointed at Anos, his confidence unwavering. "You'll fall within ten moves!"

The crowd gasped.

"Wow!"

"Senior Robert is so majestic!"

"Senior Robert, I adore you!"

Girls in the crowd squealed, enamored with Robert's dominance. He reveled in their admiration.

The corner of Anos's mouth curled into a sly smile as he extended his index finger and said, "One move."

The crowd's collective gasp echoed through the air.

"What?! Did we hear that right? Anos claims he can take down Robert in one move?"

The audience's incredulous whispers spread like wildfire.

Robert's laughter boomed, his expression disdainful. "I'd love to see you try!"

With a burst of energy, Robert unleashed his aura.

"Begin!" Sofia's voice echoed through the arena.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Anos and Robert darted forward simultaneously.

"Rapid Shadow! Cosmic Fist!" Robert roared.

Bang!

The two forces collided, sending shockwaves through the air.

Anos's response was instantaneous, his movement a blur.

"Shadow Strike!"

The crowd held its breath, awaiting the outcome.

....

The next instant froze the smiles on countless faces!

The two opponents had exchanged only a single blow, yet Robert hurtled through the air, crashing onto the martial arts stage over ten meters away.

The crowd's collective gasp turned to stunned silence.

Was it truly just one move?

Amelia's eyes widened in shock, her petite face full of suprise.

Sofia's expression remained serene, hinting at a deeper understanding of Anos's abilities.

However, a girl in the distance raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Interesting," she murmured, her voice barely audible.

Her gaze locked onto Anos, sparkling with curiosity.

"Nine stars of the Qi Building Realm. Harnessing speed to amplify his martial technique, Anos instantly sent Robert flying – and he didn't even use his full strength."

A captivating smile danced on her lips.

"Fascinating. Beginner class, nine stars of the Qi Building Realm... how quaint."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her voice was laced with amusement, her gaze fixed on Anos.

....

Anos's nonchalant remark landed like a crushing blow to Robert's pride, still reeling from his defeat.

The crowd, which had mocked Anos mere moments ago, fell silent.

"Anos wins!" Sofia declared, her voice ringing out across the arena.

The declaration severed the stunned silence, leaving Robert and the crowd to grapple with the harsh reality.

...

"Wait!" Robert gritted his teeth, appealing to Sofia. "Miss Sofia, I wasn't prepared. I didn't use my martial technique. Give me another chance!"

Sofia's expression remained icy, a stark contrast to her gentle demeanor around Anos.

"In a martial arts competition, regret has no place," she declared, her voice devoid of emotion. "On the battlefield, you'd already be dead. Next!"

Robert seethed, unwilling to accept defeat.

Why hadn't he anticipated Anos's nine-star Qi Building Realm strength?

Why hadn't he unleashed his martial technique?

Humiliation washed over him as he recalled his earlier bravado.

In the crowd's eyes, Robert was a laughingstock.

Yet Anos had achieved the impossible – defeating him in a single move!

Robert's gaze burned with resentment, his mind racing with what-ifs.

"Anyone else?" Anos scanned the crowd, his challenge hanging in the air.

A tall, handsome figure emerged from the sea of students.

Jax, ranked fifth in the intermediate class, stood confidently, his 1.9-meter frame commanding attention.

"Finally, someone worthy to take my frustration!" Jax declared, his eyes locking onto Anos.

Whispers spread through the crowd:

"Jax is far stronger than Robert."

"Anos's higher realm gives him an edge, but at the same level, he's no match for Jax."

Anos's gaze met Jax's, his aura flickering momentarily.

"One move," Anos stated, nonchalance etched on his face.

The crowd fell silent, incredulous

....

"System Notification: Cool points earned. Mental damage inflicted. Scumbag meter +50,000."

The crowd's murmurs turned to vitriolic shouts:

"Screw you! Anos's too full of himself! This is Jax, for crying out loud! Destroy him!"

"Nine-star Qi Building Realm or not, Anos won't take down Jax in one move! Not at the same level! Wait till he gets humbled!"

...

"I'm the fifth strongest in the intermediate class. You think a beginner like you can take me down in one move?" Jax sneered.

But the crowd's focus had shifted. No longer questioning whether Anos could defeat Jax, they wondered if Anos could achieve it in just one move.

Jax's eyes narrowed, taken aback by Anos's audacity.

"Anos, retract your statement!" Jax demanded.

Anos shrugged. "No need to."

The crowd held its collective breath.

"Excellent," Jax hissed, his face darkening. "You're begging for destruction."

With a burst of spiritual energy, Jax unleashed a fierce gust of wind, sending the surrounding air swirling.

The wind attribute, notoriously rare and formidable, was Jax's specialty. Anos cracked his neck, unleashing his aura in response.

Qi Building Realm, nine stars. Both opponents were equally matched, and Jax was no pushover. Defeating him in one move seemed impossible.

Yet, Anos had declared it.

Whoosh! The two adversaries darted forward simultaneously, their speed breathtaking. Jax's wind-attribute technique whipped up a fierce gust, but Anos's nine-star Qi Building Realm energy countered it.

Boom! Their forces collided, sending shockwaves through the air.

The crowd gasped.

"Oh my god!" someone exclaimed. Jaws dropped, eyes wide with astonishment.

"Next!" Anos declared, his voice piercing the air like a thunderclap.

The crowd reeled, struggling to comprehend the outcome. Jax lay motionless, defeated. Anos stood tall, his dominance unquestionable.

The arena erupted into chaos.....
