The Lost Omega Heiress is Pregnant with My Child - Chapter 30
Must be quite hurtful.
Shi Anzhi, holding Helan Shuang’s lightsaber, walked into the challengers’ dressing room backstage.
The room was now filled with many challengers warming up.
When they saw Shi Anzhi enter, most of them merely lifted their eyelids to glance at her, their eyes filled with self-absorption and disdain.
A retired soldier injecting himself with combat stimulants chuckled at the sight of the weapon in Shi Anzhi’s hand. “Another show-off with a fancy toy.”
To the left, a few gang members were continuously swallowing sugar pills of unknown effects. One of them cast a sidelong glance at Shi Anzhi and sneered, “Just a moment ago, some fool from District D came in with an energy battle-axe. And what happened? K11 shattered the axe with one punch. No idea why K11 suddenly went berserk, the guy was nearly flattened.”
Shi Anzhi listened quietly, paying them no mind. If there was any useful information in their chatter, she’d mentally note it.
She walked over to the accompanying doctor and received the injections of the medications mandated by the Ji family drugs that ensured she wouldn’t die immediately if injured. Then, she retracted the lightsaber into its cylindrical case and slipped it into her pants pocket.
One by one, the challengers from the waiting area took to the stage. Shi Anzhi watched as they were carried off, battered and bloodied. Strangely, her heart remained calm.
She felt no fear at all.
Finally, the host excitedly called out the unfamiliar name “Shi Anzhi.” For a moment, the entire arena fell into silence, only to erupt into a wave of mocking laughter and jeers.
“Shi Anzhi? Who’s that?”
“Which garbage dump did she crawl out of?”
“Don’t waste our time! We want something exciting!”
When the host announced Shi Anzhi’s name, there were no titles or past achievements listed before it, unlike the other challengers, just three simple characters:
Shi Anzhi.
In the top-level private box.
“So this Alpha actually went up there,” Li Mei remarked, a gloating smile spreading across her face. “Looks like Tingxue’s little dog is about to meet her end.”
An attendant poured a fine wine for Ji Tianheng, who took a sip, focusing intently on the spectacle about to unfold.
Shi Anzhi ignored the roaring noise around her, adjusting her breath as she stepped steadily toward the blood-stained fighting ring.
Cold light poured down from above, casting her shadow long and stark.
Standing before K11, she appeared minuscule.
The bell signaling the start of the match rang out.
“Roar!”
K11 let out a roar that sounded anything but human, its electronic eyes instantly turning blood-red. Its massive iron fist swung viciously toward Shi Anzhi.
Shi Anzhi had no intention of taking the blow head-on.
The moment the iron fist was about to strike, her combat boots unleashed a powerful burst of propulsion, sending her sliding swiftly backward and to the side.
The fist smashed into the spot where she had just been standing, instantly cracking the hard floor.
The crowd erupted in gasps of astonishment.
Without pause, Shi Anzhi continued to maneuver around K11.
Like a nimble leopard, she deftly evaded the cumbersome K11.
Every time K11 threw a heavy punch, she managed to dodge it at an almost impossible angle, narrowly escaping impact. Her combat boots transformed the force of each landing into propulsion for the next leap, allowing her to maintain high-speed movement with minimal energy expenditure.
“This A seems to have some tricks up her sleeve.”
“She’s so fast, K11 can’t even touch her.”
The jeers from the audience gradually shifted into murmurs of astonishment.
“Has she already lasted four minutes?”
Shi Anzhi’s mind remained calm. She was draining K11’s energy while observing its patterns.
Li Yuan murmured, “Interesting.”
Qin Chuan watched the agile figure below and remarked to Li Yuan, “She performed decently during the last frenzy. Quite talented, with impressive skills.”
Ji Tianheng remained silent, his gaze growing increasingly profound.
What he saw went far beyond mere skill.
This Alpha’s control over timing and distance was nearly flawless. With every step, she accurately predicted K11’s next move.
By now, Shi Anzhi had endured five minutes, surpassing 80% of the challengers. Ji Tianheng took a sip of his drink, recalling something.
He issued an order to the technicians, “Activate K11’s pheromone suppression system. Set the output to 70%.”
He wanted to test Shi Anzhi’s pheromones to see if they would reveal themselves under extreme pressure.
Within seconds, a synthetic Alpha dominance pheromone emanated from K11, its sharp, oily scent rapidly spreading through the air.
The entire club was instantly enveloped in an oppressive, frenzied atmosphere.
All the lower-ranking Alphas and Omegas present felt dizzy and short of breath, as if a mountain were crushing their chests.
Some in the audience began to vomit. Li Mei clutched her temples in discomfort and clung to Li Yuan.
“Sis, my head hurts.”
Yet Shi Anzhi, at the center of the storm, merely furrowed her brows slightly.
She felt no pressure from the Alpha’s dominance to her, the scent was merely faintly unpleasant.
Her world remained clear and undisturbed.
After releasing the dominance pheromones, K11’s attacks grew even more frenzied.
Seizing an opportunity, Shi Anzhi vaulted onto a shipping container, twisted mid-air, and drew her lightblade.
The sword traced a ghostly blue arc through the air, striking directly at the fatal heat vent on the back of K11’s neck, the junction of its spine.
Screech! A piercing sound of metal grinding echoed.
The tip of the blade struck the armor precisely, sending blue electrical arcs dancing wildly across its surface.
A mechanical alarm blared from within K11.
“Alert! Alert! Core temperature overload! Cooling system damaged by 30%!”
The entire arena erupted in uproar!
“How in the world did she do that?!”
“Did she find K11’s weakness?”
In the VIP boxes, many influential figures exchanged glances. They all recognized the weapon in Shi Anzhi’s hand, it belonged to He Lanshuang.
Li Yuan leaned against the railing, while Qin Chuan turned to her and asked, “What is the Lanshuang family playing at?”
“Don’t worry. K11 isn’t that weak. This was probably authorized by the Governor’s Mansion.”
Qin Chuan, no longer relaxed, watched the match with growing tension.
Lanshuang watched the scene unfold, her eyes gleaming with admiration. She had known all along that she hadn’t misjudged this person.
She had heard about the fights at the Carnival Club, Shi Anzhi had defeated a reigning champion named Mad Bull, which spoke to her talent. Moreover, He Lanshuang had full confidence in her own weapon.
After landing a successful strike, Shi Anzhi didn’t linger in close combat. Instead, she used the momentum to flip backward, putting distance between herself and K11.
She had succeeded.
But her arm was left numb from the recoil of the lightsaber clashing against the armor.
The heavily damaged K11 was now enraged.
Its blood-red electronic eyes locked firmly onto Shi Anzhi. The energy core in its chest glowed intensely, and the surface of its armor plates had turned faintly red from overheating.
K11 had entered a frenzied mode.
In the private booth.
A technician reported in a panic, “CEO Ji, K11’s emotional threshold has exceeded the critical point. Should we initiate the emergency shutdown protocol?”
Ji Tianheng narrowed his eyes, anticipation in his voice. “Leave it for now. Be ready to retrieve the combat data at any moment.”
He turned his head, glancing at You Lie, his predetermined champion in the waiting area.
“Tell You Lie to get ready.”
With a formidable underdog like Shi Anzhi setting the stage, You Lie’s victory would make for an even more compelling story.
In its frenzied state, K11 had become a pure killing machine. Its speed and strength had increased by at least forty percent.
With a thunderous crash Shi Anzhi tried to dodge sideways, but K11 was too fast this time. An unstoppable force slammed into her back.
Shi Anzhi was sent flying, crashing hard against the energy barrier at the edge of the arena before being thrown back onto the ground.
Her vision blurred, and as she hit the floor, she spat out a mouthful of blood.
“It’s over!”
“Her bones must be shattered.”
“She’s still not enough, though she’s already quite impressive.”
Many in the audience believed the fight was finished, sighing in disappointment.
He Lanshuang’s heart leaped into her throat.
Yet, half a minute later, Shi Anzhi staggered back to her feet.
The moment she was struck, her smoke-gray high-neck long-sleeve instantly hardened. She could feel something like a shield absorbing the majority of the impact.
Though the heavy blow still left her reeling, it hadn’t caused fatal internal injuries.
Ah Xue…
The face of Shen Tingxue flashed through her mind.
Seeing that Shi Anzhi could still stand, K11 grew even more furious. Abandoning all ranged attacks, it charged toward her with heavy, thudding steps.
“Here it comes again.”
“It’s going to crush her into pulp!”
Shi Anzhi stared at the approaching monstrosity, her resolve hardening.
Her chances in a direct confrontation were slim, but instead of retreating, she charged straight at K11.
At the instant before they collided, she abruptly dropped into a low crouch, sliding through the gap beneath K11’s wide stride. Drawing her lightsaber, she executed a precise, upward slash at an extremely tricky angle, cutting deep into K11’s right leg, the part that still retained flesh and tissue.
“Zzzzt…”
A grating sound echoed as flesh sizzled under the energy blade.
A bone-deep gash instantly appeared on K11’s right leg.
He Lanshuang’s lips curved into a smile. Watching a clever and courageous person wield her weapon was a true pleasure.
The gift her mother had given her for her coming of age was, naturally, the best.
K11 let out a pained roar, his massive body staggering from the severe injury to his right leg, nearly losing balance.
Enraged, he turned and swung his enormous metal fist at Shi Anzhi, who had just risen from behind him. The blow seemed almost certain to land.
It was too fast. Shi Anzhi did her best to dodge, unsure how long the luck Shen Tingxue had given her would hold this time. She closed her eyes briefly.
The arena fell into dead silence.
Many turned away in regret.
Just then, a cool, damp aura emanated from Shi Anzhi, as if something had erupted within her under the stimulus of near-death.
In that moment, everyone in the furnace felt an indescribable sensation.
It was less a smell and more a feeling.
Irresistible…
As if the entire world had been submerged in an endless deep sea, all the bloodlust in the air slowly soothed under the embrace of this ocean.
Those who had been fervent from the fight suddenly felt a reverence emanating from the depths of their souls.
K11 came to an eerie halt, his programming thrown into chaos.
Li Yuan sniffed hard. “What is this scent?”
Clatter.
Ji Tianheng’s wine glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.
Her body began to tremble, her eyes fixed intently on the figure kneeling on one knee. This feeling…
This aura felt like Su Lian’s.
No, it was even vaster and more powerful than Su Lian’s.
“Tianheng?”
Qin Chuan glanced at Ji Tianheng, startled by her uncharacteristic demeanor.
Without a second thought, Ji Tianheng urgently issued a command in her mind: “Cease all of K11’s counterattack programs! Immediately!”
[President Ji, You Lie hasn’t made his entrance yet, this…]
“Did you not understand me? Cease it!”
[Yes.]
Ji Tianheng watched the unsteady figure, still struggling to rise, her eyes betraying an unconscious trace of heartache.
The damp aura spread throughout the arena, diluting K11’s oppressive pheromones. Li Mei, weakly supporting her head, regained a bit of spirit.
Li Yuan exchanged a glance with her, and Li Mei waved her hand, indicating she had no idea what was happening with Shi Anzhi.
Shen Tingxue’s dog is this formidable.
The countdown sounded, but K11 remained motionless.
Shi Anzhi endured the pain and stood up.
She stood beside K11’s cooling wreckage as the referee raised her hand high.
The arena erupted in deafening cheers. Among all the challengers who had faced K11, her moves had been the most impressive, the entire fight thrilling to watch.
The host excitedly announced the rewards: “Let’s congratulate the final victor, Shi Anzhi! She will receive two million coins and…”
Listening to the cheers, Shi Anzhi felt an inner emptiness. Gazing at the frenzied, unfamiliar faces around her, she felt dazed. For a moment, she couldn’t comprehend why she was here.
Since arriving in the Special Zone, this feeling had surfaced repeatedly.
The last time she fought in a boxing match, it was to earn money for Nian Xue to live better. What was it for this time? Finally, an image of the billboard, the 400,000-coin gland restoration surgery flashed in her mind.
She laughed silently to herself. Shi Anzhi, you must be deeply wounded in your subconscious.
Just as she was about to collapse from exhaustion, several medical staff rushed onto the ring and carefully carried her away on a stretcher.
Ji Tianheng watched the figure being carried away and commanded in his mind, “Spare no expense to heal her.”
“Additionally, notify the genetics lab to prepare for a kinship comparison.”
Shi Anzhi must be connected to Su Lian.
