Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

From the outside, 155 King's Avenue looked like a noble residence with several large buildings, but those large buildings were actually similar to indoor stadiums.

Simon, holding a pass, entered and, led by a cavalryman, arrived in front of a three- or four-story building.

This was the side door of the building, and noble carriages were arriving at the two main entrances.

They exchanged greetings and entered the stands together.

Simon got out of the carriage to negotiate, and soon he came to invite Audiss to get out and, guided by a servant, entered the tall building.

Inside the entrance was a room the size of a living room, with seats against the walls on both sides and two empty weapon racks in front.

A man in his forties, dressed as a butler, greeted them and said, "Welcome, gentlemen. May I ask which gentleman is the contestant?"

Simon immediately stepped aside, highlighting Audiss, who was wearing a mask.

"I believe you already know the rules," the butler-like man said. "This is a competition where cold weapons can be used. Of course, for the sake of the competition's entertainment value, please use weapons only after the first bell rings, otherwise it will be considered an unprovoked abandonment of the competition."

"If you have confidence, you can also choose not to use weapons from beginning to end."

Simon was slightly stunned. He didn't know about this rule before.

"Okay," Audiss said casually.

The butler-like man held out his hand: "Please show your weapon."

Audiss took out the sword and temporarily handed the cane to Simon.

The other party checked it and, seeing that there were no problems, returned the weapon: "The competition will start in a little over ten minutes, please be prepared."

Audiss nodded and sat in the corner to wait.

Simon smiled and followed the butler-like man, asking him about the details of the competition.

A few minutes later, Simon came back and said, "Sir, after entering that door, there will be a simulated street venue, and your opponent will enter from the other direction."

"After meeting, you have to fight hand-to-hand for five to ten minutes before the bronze bell rings, and then you can use weapons."

Audiss smiled, but suddenly started talking about an unrelated topic: "If I had such a big house, I would definitely turn it into a super laboratory."

Simon was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

Audiss didn't continue the topic, waiting quietly for the start of the competition.

After a few more minutes, the middle-aged man who looked like a butler appeared again: "The competition is about to begin, please follow me."

Audiss got up, carried the sword on his back, and came to the entrance door.

The middle-aged man looked at his pocket watch and opened the iron door at the appointed time.

Audiss passed through the iron door and, sure enough, saw staggered houses only about two meters high.

This place was about the size of a football field, simulating a street scene that wasn't very long, but these houses had no roofs to avoid obstructing the nobles' viewing.

The stands were high up, with bright lights, and from below, you couldn't see the nobles above, but from above, you could see the ground clearly.

At the other end of the street, Audiss saw his opponent, who was also a young man in his twenties. The opponent was carrying a knife on his back and rushed towards Audiss quickly.

Audiss smiled slightly, as if ignoring the opponent's approach, and jumped onto the top of a wall to observe the surrounding environment.

It wasn't that he underestimated his opponent, on the contrary, he took his opponent very seriously, but because it was his first time in such a venue, he planned to take the time to observe the environment while the opponent took the initiative to charge over.

These roofless houses were roughly divided into two rows by the street in the middle, but there were alleys between the houses, connecting in all directions, with no dead ends.

Seeing Audiss's reaction, the young man, as his opponent, probably understood his intention, so the young man quickly rushed towards Audiss and jumped nimbly to the top of the wall, appearing menacingly in front of Audiss in just a few seconds.

The momentum brought by the charge made the young man swing a punch with great force.

Audiss's favorite Bajiquan and Taijiquan are best at dealing with this kind of strong attack. He reached out to deflect the force, blocked the opponent's attack, and then leaned forward suddenly, knocking the young man into the house.

This move caused many nobles and wealthy people in the stands to let out a "Wow~" sound, with joy and excitement in their tone. This was a school of fighting techniques they had never seen before.

The young man who fell into the house rolled on the ground and immediately stood up, unharmed.

He had rich fighting experience and realized that the top of the wall was very narrow, and his opponent seemed to be good at close combat, so fighting on top of the wall would be very disadvantageous to him.

So the young man grabbed a chair next to him and smashed it at Audiss as a weapon.

The rules said that weapons could only be used after the bell rang, but chairs were furniture and could not be considered weapons.

There were tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and other furniture in these simulated rooms, which was obviously a design to improve the entertainment value of the competition.

Audiss nimbly dodged the chair's attack, seized the opportunity, and jumped onto the bed in the room.

The young man waved the chair to hit him again. Audiss quickly grabbed a chair leg, and with the opponent's force, he pulled it hard. The young man didn't have time to let go, took a step forward, and sent his chest to Audiss.

Audiss was creating this opportunity. He kicked the young man out, and the opponent crashed into the wall with a "thud", and the entire wall visibly shook.

At this time, there was warm applause in the stands. In the second round, Audiss was excellent in terms of response and reaction speed.

The young man gasped for breath, clutching his chest, and stood up again, running out of the door and escaping to the street.

He was obviously also an Awakened, and he could still run after being kicked hard by Audiss.

The young man's reaction was not to escape, but to avoid the enemy and recover from his injuries.

Of course, Audiss would not let go of this opportunity and immediately chased after him, but he soon realized that although his skills were agile enough, he didn't quite understand the skills of running. The young man went left and right, and Audiss, who was chasing closely, could never hit him.

A dozen seconds later, the young man felt that the pain was not so intense, so he suddenly squatted down and swept his leg towards Audiss.

Audiss repeated his old trick, dodged the opponent's attack, and then rushed forward suddenly, hitting the young man's face with his knee.

The young man was shocked and hurriedly raised his hand to block.

Thump~

The young man was knocked out. Although he blocked Audiss's knee with his hand, how could the power of the hand be as great as the power of the knee?

After landing, the young man's nose and mouth were still bleeding.

His ability to withstand blows was also really good. He still rolled over and then climbed up to run away.

It's just that he was running staggeringly, and Audiss chased him from behind and kicked him in the butt, causing him to fall into a "dog eats grass" position.

Clang clang clang~

At this time, the bronze bell rang, because if it didn't ring again, there would be no cold weapon combat segment.
