Chapter 102: The Terrifying Demonic Aura on the Stage

“How’s that? Surprised, huh? Hahahahaha!” Seeing Bai Ying’s pale face, Little Dot laughed triumphantly once more. He had deliberately held back from attacking earlier, using the time while swinging his whip to lay fishing lines all around the arena, completely cutting off Bai Ying’s escape routes. Now, he could finally torment this handsome young man who looked like a grown-up maiden before him.

Don’t be fooled by Little Dot’s rugby-ball-shaped little head or his stature shorter than a three-inch tofu block. Ever since he was young, he had harbored an intense inferiority complex about his appearance and figure. Having survived in the demon world, the only thing he truly believed in was the power in his hands—power that could dominate everything. After earning the right to compete in the Dark Martial Arts Tournament, his extremely dark heart burst forth after achieving temporary victories. Just as others mocked him for being short and ugly, he felt deeply unsettled by those who were handsome and attractive. If he couldn’t properly “entertain” the handsome one before him, his twisted heart would remain unsatisfied and restless.

Resting the fishing rod on his shoulder, Little Dot sneered at Bai Ying and said, “When I swung the rod earlier, I already set up a silver silk barrier on the arena. This barrier is specially designed to prevent your escape, hehehehe!”

“What an astonishing move! When did Little Dot manage to set up so many silk threads? Oh no!” Miss Xing Meng suddenly cried out as she accidentally touched the barrier behind her. The dense silver threads immediately sliced through her tight-fitting suit across her back, buttocks, and thighs, revealing the tender pale skin beneath. Perhaps because she wore some protective armor, her skin wasn’t cut, but the exposed areas thrilled the crowd of admirers. Covering the tender flesh on her buttocks with her hand, Miss Xing Meng continued her professional commentary, “This is truly sharp! The Heavenly Silkworm Armor I’m wearing was cut open so easily—astonishing! The Heavenly Silkworm Armor ranks among the top ten protective battle suits, renowned for its resilience. Everyone should understand just how tough it is, yet it was effortlessly sliced by the silver threads set by Little Dot. Truly incredible! But what does he intend to do with all these silver threads? Now, he’s taking off a box from his back—yes, that box he’s been carrying all along. How surprising! What is Little Dot planning with that box? Let’s watch and see!”

Taking down the box he’d carried on his back, Little Dot carefully unwrapped the bandages covering it layer by layer, revealing a finely crafted white jade box. Placing it gently on the ground, he looked up at Bai Ying standing at the edge of the arena and said, “This is a special reincarnation potion Lord Ba prepared for me using the Fruit of a Previous Life. When this liquid meets the air, it turns into white smoke that seals the barrier. Hehe! After inhaling this reincarnation smoke, you’ll gradually grow younger and younger until you become a baby. Hahahahahaha! Scared now? Once you become a baby, I’ll take very good care of you! Hahahahahahaha! It’s just too delightful!”

As he spoke, Little Dot’s expression suddenly twisted into something grotesque, as if his twisted desires were about to be fulfilled. The short, ugly man eagerly opened the box. The colorless liquid inside quickly vaporized upon contact with air, turning into a white mist that spread through the surrounding air. Soon, the mist enveloped the entire arena, obscuring the three people on stage. “Hahahahahaha, surprised? After inhaling this white smoke, your body will slowly shrink and grow younger. Hahahahahaha! How does your body feel? Is it getting smaller? Hahaha!”

“What’s happening to me? Oh my god,” Miss Xing Meng’s face showed terror as she accidentally inhaled the smoke. Her body seemed to react to the potion, gradually shrinking. Her skin became increasingly tender, as if she were transforming from a young woman into a girl, then into a child... Watching her body shrink, she plopped down on the ground. The oversized clothes she wore could no longer contain her now-childlike form, draping loosely over her. Seeing she could only hold the microphone with two hands, Miss Xing Meng burst out crying, her once sweet and charming voice now babyish and soft. With a baby’s voice, she cried out for help through the mist, “Someone please save me!!! Waaah waaah... waaah... waaah...”

“Hahahahaha! Miss Xing Meng has become a baby! Hehehehe! Don’t worry, I’ll give you the antidote later, but it won’t come free! Hahahahahaha!” Hearing her cries, Little Dot seemed to be signaling something, but after receiving no response from her, the twisted man laughed again. Turning to where Bai Ying had been standing, Little Dot bragged, “But I’m even more curious what you look like now. I can’t wait to see what you’ve become as a baby! Let me think... hahaha! But honestly, I’m even more excited to see what you looked like just before becoming a baby.”

Saying this, the perverse man pulled out a milky-white liquid from his pocket, uncorked it, and sprinkled it into the air. This white liquid rapidly liquefied upon contact with the air, thickening the already dense smoke. “Hehehe, this is a test batch of the Potion of a Previous Life. I’ve never used it before, but since it’s you, I’ll let you try it all at once! Hahahahaha! I’ll turn you into nothing but air! Hahahahaha...”

“What!? The arena is completely shrouded in smoke? Nothing can be seen! What is that guy up to?”

“That’s the barrier! Little Dot’s doing!”

Hearing Zhang Yang’s words, Fei Yan sat up and opened the evil eye on his forehead, peering into the thick smoke covering the arena. Though his eye granted him x-ray and long-distance vision, the smoke was so dense it pushed his powers to their limit. He barely made out two figures sitting on the ground and Little Dot holding the fishing rod nearby. Like some magical catalyst, Bai Ying and Xing Meng had shrunk to infant size, and it seemed the shrinking hadn’t stopped. Was Bai Ying going to be killed just like that by Little Dot?

“Hahahahahaha! Your demonic aura is so faint I can barely sense it—what a thrill! ...Hey, the aura’s completely gone! I can’t feel a trace of it anymore! Hahaha! Let me see what you look like now...”

Just as Little Dot took a step toward where Bai Ying’s body had been, a sudden terrifying burst of demonic aura exploded from the stage. Little Dot, who had never felt such a dreadful aura before, was instantly shocked and fell to the ground. Wha... what... what is this? Oh my god! What kind of monster is this? This is... truly... terrifying!

Sensing the sudden terrifying aura from the stage, Zhang Yang, Fei Yan, Lord Ba, and the Death Sword all stood in shock. Such a monstrous aura could never appear in the human world. If someone with that power appeared, the Spirit World’s law enforcement would never stand idly by. How could such overwhelming demonic energy manifest on the stage? It was simply terrifying! Even the well-traveled Lord Ba had only felt such a presence from superiors in the demon realm, and now he was experiencing it again.

This kind of demonic aura absolutely had no place in the human world. Describing it as a demonic aura that blankets the sky was no exaggeration. Just from the aura hidden under the smoke on stage, even Fei Yan’s aura at its peak was less than one-tenth of this presence. Such an aura could only be felt from demon lords of the highest order in the demon realm.

“He... he’s indeed reverted to before becoming a baby, but... but how? His... demonic aura...!” Little Dot, sitting on the ground, had completely lost his earlier arrogance. He fidgeted uncontrollably, his speech stumbling.

“What’s going on? Why is the stage shrouded in fog?”

“Yeah! Nothing can be seen!”

“What’s happening on stage?”

“Refund! This is cheating the audience! We can’t see a thing!”

“Send someone up there to check! What are you idiots doing? How can people watch this?”

“What’s wrong with you all? Let people watch!”

“Where’s the referee? Why aren’t they speaking? This is so frustrating!”

“There’s a terrifying demon on stage!”

“Can you feel it?”

“Yeah! It’s even stronger than Si Kong Lang’s aura. Just a little makes your skin crawl!”

“What? Why can’t I feel anything?”

“Come out! You bunch of fools! What are you doing?”

“Come out!”

“Come out!”

“Come out!”

...

Though the audience was becoming restless, the scene on the arena was quite different.

“Phew... I never imagined I could ever regain this appearance again!”
