The opponent was a crab demon, armed with two large pincers and a pair of bristle-like serrated jaws beneath its mouth.
It was about two meters in length.
Its face was incredibly lifelike, sharing many similarities with a human.
The opponent was very polite, first greeting Ma Lin by bowing with its two large pincers, which prompted Ma Lin to return the gesture with a fist salute.
That's how society is, everyone is becoming more civilized, and those who do not act with civility are easily weeded out by society.
Then they widened the distance between them. The battle began.
The crab demon's eight legs moved like rockets when it ran, incredibly fast.
Though it appeared clumsy, it was actually very agile.
Ma Lin found that he couldn't quite keep up with its pace.
He switched to defense, being very cautious, and retreated to a corner of the arena, raising his sword and not making any surplus movements, his focus solely on what the opponent was doing.
