Soon after he assud his seat, nobody would dare to slander him anymore. The high level experts and the wealthy rchants who seated in the VIP area were now considering him as soone who couldn’t be sneezed at. Especially after he revealed his current Cultivation Stage. They even secretly wage a huge amount of bets for him to win the next bout.
"Tonight’s fighting order is quite interesting, Young Lord." Jie Rong said.
"Please elaborate, Senior. I didn’t follow the developnt of the tournant for the past week."
"En. I could see that clearly." Jie Rong observed the young man’s aura from head to toe.
"To put it shortly, you must win against two opponents to secure the right to advance to the Final Round. There are 60 opponents left in the Elimination Round. Which an, there are only 15 available slots left. If you could secure three wins in a row, you could sit comfortably and advance to the Final Round for free."
"En." Ash nodded. "In a sense, the strong would reign, and the weak shall perish in the first fight. What a monopolistic sche. That’s explain why the weak always oppressed. No room to grow at all."
"Indeed, Young Lord. As cruel as it sounds, but this is how things went. In fact, the previous Martial Tournant was even more grueso. Due to the raising power of each Martial Sect, the Mayor beco gave us so leniency to minimize unwanted conflict between Martial Sects."
"Be as it may, I just need to beat so sense to those stubborn bastards. If they think powerful background would save them from their demise, I will show them how wrong they are."
"That’s what I’m talking about, Young Lord!" Feng Bo suddenly chid beside him. "Though you don’t have any notable family background, you still have us, we will support you no matter the cost!"
"Oh, shut up you sly fox." Jie Rong grumbled. "I know what you’re thinking, Master Feng Bo. The more you support him, the more fa and you’ll gain from his uprising. Tsk, tsk, tsk." Jie Rong shook his head.
Feng Bo smiled wryly. It’s already a public secret that Feng Bo had beco Ash’ promotor in this tournant. He had spent a lot of money to support Ash, doing counter intelligence in the background and what not.
"Eh, don’t say that... Senior Jie Rong, I only wanted to help him to ensure victory after victory. And I couldn’t find any better person to do the biddings to save our city from a total destruction. You know very well how corrupt our governnt are."
"There, there..." Ash cald both of them by gently patting their shoulders. "I don’t mind about the side bets that you guys did behind . But of course, if I win this tournant...."
"Hahaha!" Feng Bo laughed joyously. "Don’t worry about that. I understand clearly. I will compensate you handsoly."
"If you understand that much, then I will have no problem with you." Ash added. However, deep in his mind, Ash had thought one thousands thods to screw Feng Bo should he betray him. ’Try sothing funny, and I will ruin your whole business!’
Before long, the arena announcer climbed to the main arena. Subsequently, another thirty smaller arenas erged from the ground.
"It’s tieee!" He roared. His voice was buffed by the sound array and broadcasted throughout the Colosseum. "Tonight’s will be the night of fighting macabre! No rules! Only the strong shall prevail! Only fifteen warriors allowed to advance to Final Round!"
"Without further ado, let the fight, begin!"
Afterward, the ring announcer read the fighting order, who fights against who, and so on. In the end, Ash was summoned into the 30th Arena. Granted, all attention projected toward his arena when he was up against a literal giant!
Standing at four ters tall, Ash’ tonight’s opponent was beyond what he expected. He couldn’t even believe that a literal giant race existed in this realm. The giant wore black and red pirate attire. He imdiately aware that his actual opponent must have been replaced by this buffoon!"
Doubts began soon linger in the air as the giant man took a step forward.
"Bwahaha! So scrawny! You better scram, and back to your nanny’s tits! I have no ti to entertain a little shrimp like you!"
"Geez, your breath is as stinky as rotten at!" Ash faned the front of his nose with a hand.
"Listen, shrimp. If you tell where I could find a man who use red feathers as his weapon, I will spare your life."
"What if I refused?"
"Hmph! Then, this Yinping will smash you!"
Without any warning, the giant man summoned a humongous hamr out of his Spatial Ring! In the next mont, he brought the hamr’s head down to the ground. Luckily, the whole Colosseum was protected by a complex Fortification Array. The giant’s explosive impact wouldn’t put a scratch on the arena.
But, the slight tremor was felt all the way to the crowd. Ash was also caught off guard. He didn’t expect that giant possessed such high agility despite his size. If he didn’t dodge at the last second, he would have turned in at paste!
"Hehehe! What’s the matter, little shrimp? We are just starting!"
Ash looked down, and was so furious as the outer garnt of his hanfu robe was completely torn apart!
"You pig!" Ash pointed two fingers at the giant. "This robe was made by my friend with literal blood and tears!"
"What of it? It’s just a robe, you can get a new one. Perhaps, you are too poor to afford a new one? Hah!"
"Irredeemable!"
That humongous hamr in Yinping’s hands was an Epic Rank Weapon that could amplify one’s strength by thousands of tis. If Ash had not equipped Nightfla, then this hamr’s residual energy alone would have already pierced his aura shield and exploded his heart instead!
However, Ash only felt an miniscule amount of sharp strength vigorously transmitted through his body. Instead of holding the montum, Ash deliberately let the shockwave send him flying across the arena. He tumbled backwards for several dozen feet before using his own strength to hold himself down, but the shockwave alone was able to crush his lungs.
Ash coughed a mouthful of blood, he felt his chest was burning from inside out. However, his innate Regeneration ability healed the minor wound very soon.
Yinping was perplexed. He never saw anybody who could withstand his blow. Though it was not a direct hit, anybody who was below his Cultivation Stage would have been killed!
Only then, Yinping realized that his opponent was also a Third Stage Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator!"
"Hmph! You lucky little bastard. Next ti, I won’t miss it!"
"Try , bitch!"
Ash could not help but to adnit that even though Yinping’s technique lacked finesse and beauty, his raw strength was utterly dreadful! Even a Fifth Stage Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator would’ve died instantly!"
However, Ash didn’t lose his cool just yet. He studied the weapon keenly. "That hamr was so fast! The secret must lie in its flexible handle; the mont he stopped swinging midway, the hamr accelerated even faster!"
Likewise, Yinping was also an experienced fighter. The Fleet Admiral of Red Cloud Pirate would not choose him to enter the tournant for granted. Yinping had the ability to corner his opponent to the brink of death to force them to use their ultimate move.
"That peculiar sword is flooded with Pure Yang Qi, and with that irresistible strength, that sword is able to inspire fear into my hamr. This brat is not simple! I need to provoke him first!"
Yinping was grinning like a demon. And then he said, "Little Shrimp, I told you that I already saw through your sword! Your sword’s skill is fairly weak against my Dao of Steel! As long as I concentrate my Qi into a shield shape, you will never be able to pierce through my vibrating aura shield! What a total failure, hahaha!"
Ash backed off montarily. Thinking deeply. "If I use Nightfla to its full extent, he will very likely recognize my Qi! I can’t use Nightfla. This fight will require laser precision!"
With that in mind, Ash opted to summon Azure Finch instead and stored Nightfla which he would use later in an ergency.
"Hmph! Your thick aura shield will not stand a chance against my speed and I will expose your weakness!"
"Expose my weakness?" Yin Ping smiled wide. "That little toothpick might be sowhat useful to deal with average aura, but against my Dao of Steel, it was pointless!"
The total years that he had spent in the closed training was grueling. Yinping had accumulated for nearly hundred years and repeatedly tempered his bone and muscles into the ’Chaotic Shield ridians.
’How could soone as insignificant as Xiao Hûo break my Chaotic Shield ridians?!’
"Hmph! This is your last chance, little shrimp! Resign yourself to fate. Today, I will end your life!"
Yinping howled like a depraved beast. The hamr in his hand began to emit a giant wall. With a loud explosion, the stone tiles below Yinping’s feet began to crack apart!
