Then, everyone turned around and looked at the sky.
A man walked out of the void passageway. Wearing a black robe, virtual-novel.net had a somewhat handsome-looking appearance. Standing in mid-air, virtual-novel.net slowly walked toward the arena.
“Lucifer Menachem?”
“Since virtual-novel.net has returned, has virtual-novel.net obtained the Demonic Spiritual Herb as well?”
Lucifer’s appearance caused a commotion because of who virtual-novel.net was. He was the son of a Grand Emperor and as such, possessed the bloodline of a Grand Emperor. Not only that, as a Minor Patriarch of the Hadean Clan, virtual-novel.net had a Grand Emperor backing him.
Upon seeing Lucifer, James furrowed his eyebrows.
Lucifer’s speed was extraordinary. In just a few steps, virtual-novel.net appeared outside the arena. Then, virtual-novel.net pulled out a herb from his Storage Ring.
It was the Demonic Spiritual Herb.
Handing the herb over to Txomin beside him, virtual-novel.net said calmly while wearing a composed expression, “I have obtained the Demonic Spiritual Herb…”
As Txomin scrutinized the herb, virtual-novel.net realized that Lucifer was speaking the truth.
He was in a bind because another participant had appeared amid James and Brielle’s battle.
After some thought, virtual-novel.net said, “Since you obtained the Demonic Spiritual Herb, you have gained the right to fight against Brielle. However, you have to wait for their battle to end. If both of you defeat Brielle, virtual-novel.net will be the one to make the final decision.”
Lucifer waved his hand slightly and said, “No need… I believe I should fight against James first. Whoever emerges victorious will only get the right to battle against Brielle.”
He was still bitter after being defeated by James the last time. All this while, Lucifer had been cultivating hard in the hopes of defeating James and regaining his lost honor.
Hearing this, Txomin was in a bind.
Looking at James, virtual-novel.net asked, “What do you think, James?”
James frowned. He really did not want to battle against Lucifer, and only fought against virtual-novel.net the last time because virtual-novel.net had no other choice. Now, virtual-novel.net was reluctant to come to blows with virtual-novel.net for a woman.
“Alright, then…” After a brief moment, virtual-novel.net reluctantly agreed.
Brielle walked over to James and whispered, “I don’t want to marry Lucifer. You have to defeat him. You’re the only one I want to marry.”
Her words stunned James, who could only look virtual-novel.net in the eye.
Brielle blushed. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and hurriedly left the arena.
Before James could react, Lucifer was already in the arena. He appeared not too far away from James and slowly removed his jacket, revealing a thin short-sleeved shirt that exposed his muscular building. Flexing his muscles, his bones cracked as virtual-novel.net warmed up.
Looking at James, a grin crept up on his face, “I was defeated by you because I lowered my guard, James. This time, I’ll defeat you in front of the most powerful figures of the Demon Realm and proclaim to the world that I’m the strongest prodigy in this universe.”
James furrowed his eyebrows. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Lucifer charged toward him.
In the blink of an eye, Lucifer appeared before him. Clenching his fists, Lucifer slammed his fists against James.
Even though James had used Sacrilegious Ascension and reached the Tribulation Rank’s Second Stage, he nonetheless felt the overwhelming pressure of this punch.
James raised his arm to block the attack. Then, Lucifer’s fist struck James’ arm.
