Lin Yi entered the arena to waves of applause. People felt part of his victory, his record of being the first person to reach one hundred victories in the arena.
However, he himself only silently waved to the crowd, greeted his acquaintances, and stood at the edge of the arena in the sa way as he stood every day before.
Today's first expert turned out to be quite strong. His saber was enveloped in azure energy several ters long, reminiscent of waves, its splashes burned the stone slabs of the arena.
But while he was swinging, Lin Yi walked around him from behind and put the sword on his shoulder.
Despite its power, there were so many flaws in this attack that he again had difficulty resisting so offensive advice..
“I lost?..” muttered the man, not even imdiately realizing that the blade was already on his neck.
When you watch from the outside, everything seems completely different than when you participate in person. Among the spectators, he was sure that everyone else was a fool and simply unable to defend himself, but in reality he turned out to be a fool himself.
Eighty-one to be exact.
Lin Yi returned the sword to its sheath, folded his hands in front of his chest, and continued to wait for the next opponent, closing his eyes to concentrate on accumulating energy..
The eighty-second match ended in exactly the sa way. No one could even see his movents, much less see his techniques. To them he was so kind of mutant or monster.
The best experts opened their eyes wide, trying to see what was really happening, but with the sa success Lin Yi could teleport behind the backs of his enemies.
No matter how they tried to defend against him, no matter what blows or techniques they used, as soon as Lin Yi took his sword out of its sheath, the enemy lost.
No one has ever seen a supre expert move so fast.!
Countless people below the arena held their fists. Bets on Lin Yi brought practically no money, but even so, their hundred original stones turned into one hundred and one, ti after ti..
Only the arena staff stood gloomy and looked at young master Xiu, sitting on the roof of his carriage with an ominous face. He looked like he was a little afraid of Master Lin, but his face did not show any panic. On the contrary, he seed very calm.
Noticing the anxious looks of his subordinates, he nodded to them, letting them know that everything was going according to plan..
The fights continued. New opponents decided to try their luck - or simply wanted their comrades to get money from their bets faster.
At so point, the entire crowd began to voice the number of opponents he had defeated..
“... Ninety seven!”
“... Ninety eight!”
“... Ninety nine! Haha, it's already ninety-nine! Just one and Master Lin will be the first to defeat a hundred!”
“This is Haidong's historical mont, people, rember! Look with all your eyes!”
“Master Lin is truly a Master! He is a skilled swordsman and can swing them without fail! After this, they will fly to his forge from other regions!”
“The best among all the supres, that's for sure! I have never seen such powerful supre experts before! He's simply invulnerable!”
“Well, co on, people! Who will co out 100th? Who is ready to go down in history as the last one to lose to him? Ha ha ha!”
People looked around with wide eyes, waiting for who would challenge the hundredth. Last Man Before Lord Xiu's Record and Ruin!
Finally the mont has co!
But ti passed, and no one ever entered the arena. If soone decided to try his luck, the referee and arena staff stopped him.
“Hey, what's going on? Why aren't they allowed in??”
“Well, people? When is the hundredth?”
“Damn, that's so unfair! Let the hundredth one in! I'll complain!”
Lin Yi also frowned. If the arena was going to break the rules so flagrantly, then he'd have to sort it out..
But at that mont the crowd from the side of the road suddenly dispersed sharply, and a man walked slowly between them, accompanied by city guards.
Lin Yi's heart began to beat faster. This man was an impeccable expert.
“Hello, Lord Xiu!” the arena staff imdiately exclaid, getting down on one knee.
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise. So this impeccable master was the lord of the city himself!
“Why is Lord Xiu here? And with such a crowd of guards!”
“Sothing is not clean here. It's ti to get out?”
“The hundredth was not allowed in on Lord Xiu's orders? He really didn't want Master Lin to set a record?”
“I think it's all about the bet. If Lin Yi wins, then he will have to be paid a hundred high-grade primordial stones! Hundred!”
Many in the crowd turned around and quickly walked away. Others in whispers blad Lord Xiu for injustice - and although he, as an impeccable expert, heard everything, he did not pay attention.
“Dad!" Young Master Xiu shouted from the carriage. “This is the man! It was he who stole the stone from four years ago, and now he bet it on his victory!”
“These people will prove that everything happened, Lord Xiu,” one of the servants, who had gathered witnesses to the long-ago incident, imdiately hurried.
There weren’t very many of them, and no one knew whether these were real witnesses, but the lord of the city and the impeccable expert still didn’t need them, but stood here for the peace of people.
After sweeping his gaze over Lin Yi, Lord Xiu turned to the crowd and said:
“First, let apologize for the delay, good sirs. I was busy with important governnt affairs and couldn’t co right away..”
Imdiately changing his good-natured tone to righteous fury, he pointed his hand at Lin Yi, shouting at the top of his voice:
“Today I learned that this man known to you as "Master Lin" robbed my son four years ago. And after that, he had the audacity not only to appear in my city, but also to place a stolen stone of the highest rank in order to rob of another hundred stones! Can you imagine such insolence?! When was such a daring person born??!”
Looking into Lin Yi's eyes, he asked:
“Tell , am I right or wrong? Four years ago, you stole a top grade original stone from my son.?”
There was an imdiate uproar in the crowd, and people looked at Lin Yi with amazent and incomprehension. They didn't know who to believe. Could even one person commit such a reckless act??
But Lin Yi remained completely calm. Looking at Young Master Xiu, he asked:
“My old friend. Did you forget to ntion how our conflict began? Were you the one who tried to steal my bird? And didn't you give your stone as an apology? Apparently you weren’t so sincere then. Tsk-tsk.”
All eyes turned to look at Young Master Xiu, who was flushed with sha..
“Hmph, just admit your guilt!” Lord Xiu repeated furiously, waving his hand.
The city guards imdiately surrounded the arena, dozens of birds with guards who had already pulled their bows rose into the sky.
“Kri-i-i!”
Many people suddenly fell down from the powerful wave of energy that swept through the arena. The golden eagle flew into the sky, and the sun itself sparkled with rainbows on its feathers.
Lord Xiu was about to order fire when he suddenly felt terror. If he had imdiately known how monstrous the bird was at the freak’s disposal, he would have found another way to resolve the conflict!
