Pretending To Be A Boss

Being unconscious naturally means you can't fight.

Especially since the sea monster believed Tang Xian was not faking it, to help Tang Xian recover, it deliberately waited for a while, and simultaneously, numerous, visible ring-like light waves are continuously shooting towards Tang Xian.

Tang Xian was not injured to begin with, and although he took quite a beating in several battles, he was unscathed in reality.

There was a bit of physical exhaustion. He didn't know what the sea monster was doing, and now he just wanted to play dead quietly.

When the ring-like light waves emitted by the sea monster hit him, he only felt an unprecedented clarity in his brain, and his body's fatigue was disappearing little by little.

The sea creatures in the stands were not unfamiliar with this scene, but were equally astonished.

Although the sea monster's strength is far less than Red Emperor, in the Hungry Sea region, no one dared to provoke it.

It could incite mania as well as calmness, cause ceaseless bleeding as well as rejuvenate someone entirely.

However, the sea monster rarely took action. Only those sea creatures it perceived as talented or favorable received its care.

This little one, having won several rounds by lying down… for him to continue fighting, the sea monster actually took action to heal.

Now, they were 10,000 percent sure that Tang Xian was being protected. But no one dared to speak out. They just wondered how Tang Xian would win next.

In their own and even the sea monster's eyes, Tang Xian was seriously injured and not lucid.

The sea monster merely acted to awaken him from his coma, not intending to heal him.

It was still waiting for Tang Xian to reveal his true form.

Tang Xian completely lost his calm now. What's going on here?

The scene in front of him was like that of a person who could not endure severe torture and passed out, then the executioner brought a doctor to kindly treat him, the purpose being to better execute him.

It's a bit sickening…

Tang Xian still had to play his part, he pretended to wake up from sleep, then slowly got up. As soon as his awareness recovered, the sea monster's treatment stopped.

Tang Xian shook his head, took about ten seconds to be confused, and then spent another ten seconds looking towards the distant huge stands with a puzzled expression.

Red Emperor and sea monster's expressions were still unclear.

Tang Xian thought about it, and figured it was okay; the sooner he advanced to the top twenty, the sooner he could rest.

But this time, he didn't want to hide his abilities anymore.

He had planned to peck at the sea creatures as an underdog, but what he got in return was an arrangement, so he wasn't pretending anymore, revealing himself as a boss—

Tang Xian suddenly stopped that thought.

Because when he looked at the 42nd ranked sea creature, he suddenly smiled.

"Is this luck good or bad?"

The 42nd ranked sea creature was extremely large, one of the largest among the hundred sea creatures.

Tang Xian happened to know this sea creature, mentioned in the Tangwen Stele notes; this was the Dragon Devourer.

Though it bears the character for "dragon," it's actually a huge crocodile-like creature.

However, this rare and powerful creature does not combat by biting like a crocodile but by swallowing.

Tang Xian immediately thought of the best battle strategy, so he was in no hurry at all.

Forty-second rank.

Another ten-rank leap in challenge. Since the last opponent was Sea Mud King, Tang Xian could feel the difficulty of the battle had already increased significantly.

But his luck was still quite good.

The distant sea monster said:

"This little one really has guts. Although Dragon Devourer's rank is forty-second, it's intentional by me; it only knows how to eat, pays no attention to battle. Its nature is too lazy, even under the influence of the ghost coral left by its master, its desire to fight isn't strong. Naturally, its performance isn't outstanding. But its strength is enough to enter the top twenty."

Excitement shone in the eyes of the sea monster, saying:

"This time that little one will definitely reveal his true form."

"Probably." Red Emperor's reaction was very mild.

Then it thought of something and added:

"If this human wins again in this battle, don't choose him anymore."

"Why?"

"If even Dragon Devourer cannot push him to a desperate situation, then he has already proven himself, and I am no longer very curious, so there is no need to continue observing."

The thoughts of Red Emperor were simple; the strong deserve respect.

Since the opponent intended to hide his strength, let him keep it hidden. Under absolute power disparity, these calculations actually have no significance.

In the arena, the huge body of Dragon Devourer slowly entered the center.

As one of the largest sea creatures in the arena, Dragon Devourer was the size of a quarter of the entire arena.

Tang Xian looked at Dragon Devourer; though it was much smaller than Zudun Giant, it was like Godzilla but with a body two sizes fatter in the human world.

From afar, it seemed like there was only Dragon Devourer in the arena; Tang Xian's figure was completely invisible.

"Unfortunately, your luck ends here, do you want to turn back into your original form?" Dragon Devourer looked at Tang Xian, who seemed like a flea to him.

For some reason, Tang Xian thought of Zudun Giant.

The seemingly simple and silly one, who chased the evolution zone test subjects with him, Tang.

Tang Xian chuckled and said:

"You don't seem too keen on tearing me apart, do you?"

Dragon Devourer nodded, indeed having little interest in shredding Tang Xian. Especially since Tang Xian was just too tiny.
