Yang Su and the others followed behind Ji i's group and before long they notice a crowd forming.
It wasn’t every day the top six rankers on the Southern Border Rankings gathered together like this. Anything related to them would garner the attention of almost everyone in the Southern Border City.
They might not be high-ranking Generals or Captains of their own battalions, however, because of their talents they would eventually beco such people. It was a privilege for so to witness the early stages of genius lives before the rise to fa and power.
But the crowd was curiously staring at Yang Su and the others as well.
“Where are Young Lady Ji i and the others going? And who are those people following them? From how they are dressed, they seed to be academy disciples from the Mainland.”
“Huh? Wait, this direction, could it be-?!”
Soone in the crowd cried out upon realizing sothing.
“They’re heading for the battle arena! Quick, spread the word, even Young Lady Ji i looks to be going as well!”
Another voice echoed out similarly realizing the two groups’ destination.
Like a spark eting a barrel of gun powder, a large uproar made its way across the Southern Border City.
Ji i the number one genius of the Southern Border City was going to fight in the battle arena!
Although it was only speculation after seeing her head to the battle arena with so Mainlanders, people could still be seen scrambling out of taverns partially drunk and half dressed out their lodgings half dressed upon receiving this news.
“What’s going on?”
Xiao asked as he saw the once bustling street filled with people beco a ghost town.
Lang Feng who was wearing his veil next to him looked in the direction the crowd ran off to.
“Sothing’s happening, let’s see what it is.”
He then moved tot he battle arena with Xiao by his side, and a submissive Lan Yu Ze a step behind him.
It didn’t take long for Yang Su and the rest to reach the battle arena.
Like most builds in the city, it look completely ugly, but its size was not to be looked down upon. It could probably hold several thousand people at once.
As Yang Su and the rest moved to the entrance, there were already people waiting outside to see them, well, more like Ji i and the others.
“Is everyone in the Southern Border City here right now?”
Tai couldn’t help but comnt after seeing the number of people still rushing towards the battle arena. It was probably going to be packed at this point.
“Is it because of her? Ji i?”
Lihua nodded at Yang Su’s question.
“As you can see, she commands a lot of admiration. She’s the first of her generation to be promoted to the position of Vice Captain of a battalion. And not only is she beautiful, but out of the top geniuses of the four borders, she stands head and shoulder over all of them.”
“She's that strong?”
“From the rumors, it says that she has never been forced to use her full strength when battling. Not against Sea Beasts in or slightly above her own realm, nor against humans.”
Everyone upon hearing Lihua's words were getting more curious about Ji i. Even though they didn’t know how they themselves and the disciples of their Celestial Academy compare to the four borders geniuses, they weren’t naive to think they would definitely be stronger.
For Ji i to have such an overwhelming gap in strength compared to her peers, they didn’t know if such a person exist on their Mainland besides Li Shen. But even when their Faction Leader was the faceless hero he was slightly hesitant to fight Xian without using his full cards as Ji i has.
Xian was the only other Chosen from the Maple Continent in the top five of the Chosen Rankings, now in third place, so maybe Ji i's opponents weren't that strong.
Well, if Li Shen had focused more on himself than trying to help them with their own cultivation, he could have beco soone like Ji i.
So overwhelming strong that he would find it difficult to find soone who could make him use 100% percent of his strength
Was there soone else?
The others all glance at Yang Su.
He was probably the only person right now close to that level of power. Even Fei Yin thought that he might not be able to completely suppress Yang Su as he did before, even with Qiang’s borrowed power.
At the front of the group, Ji i was approached by a rather oily-face donut of a man. The fat on this man’s face trembled vigorously as quickly made his way over.
It was rare to see soone with his physique in the cultivation world. This man either chose to remain like this or had a circumstance that prevented him from losing weight.
“Vice Captain Ji i, what brings soone of your status here?”
Without a change in expression, Ji i said.
“Clear all the events for the day, I’ll be renting the battle arena.”
The fat man blinked.
“All of it? Vice Captain Ji i, this-”
A look of hesitation appeared on the chubby man’s face.
“Vice Captain Ji i, this would inconvenience a lot of people who have booked a part of the battle arena. Not to ntion our losses, we simply-”
The chubby man cut his words short, but his face continued to express his discomfort with Ji i's request.
Ji i swept her cold gaze across the chubby man. She knew full well of his real intentions.
Ji i took out a purple jade dallion that had a blue lion carved on its surface, similar to the insignia on her chest, before casually tossing it the chubby. After which she said.
“Take the required amount. As for the people who will be inconvenienced, tell them my Blue Tiger Battalion is willing to hear their grievances.”
The chubby nervously caught the purple fade dallion, like it was fragile glass that could shatter with a person's touch.
It wasn’t really true that people would be inconvenienced, and even if they were they wouldn’t voice it because of Ji i’s identity.
The number one genius of the Southern Border Beast Rankings, she has killed more bests than anyone in her generation. Along with that was her status as a Vice Captain of the Blue Tiger Battalion. An all-female Battalion that does not lack strength even being within the top five of Battalions with the most power and influence in the Southern Border.
Who would dare go to the Blue Tiger Battalion to voice grievances against her?
The chubby man had only said that to emphasize the losses he himself would face if he canceled his revenue stream for a day. Even stopping it for a day would cost him several million spirit stones in profit.
The chubby man knew he couldn’t deny Ji i’s request and wanted to have her pay a large sum to make up his losses. However, she had instead given him her Vice Captain dallion and wanted him to take the spirits stones personally.
If he dared to take too much and upset Ji i, he might just find himself arrested for one of his many cris people like Ji i usually overlook. He was rely the manager of the battle arena. Even though that sounded like it ca with power, he was just as replaceable as soone who cleans the stage in the battle arena by the people really in charge.
The chubby man cried out internally that this Ji i was really a scher despite not looking like it.
With a heart full of grievances he dare not reveal, the chubby man skillfully extracted spirit stones from Ji i's dallion before handing it back to her.
Ji i looked at the amount he took and she nodded with a satisfied smile as if to say he was let off the hook.
Forcing a smile, the chubby man then said.
“I hope Vice Captain Ji i would put on a good show, a lot of your admirers have attended just to see you battle.”
Ji i, however, didn’t respond to him and only walked past him along with the others.
As he watched Ji i leave, the chubby man’s downcast mood did a 180 and he excitedly said to one of the guards by the entrance.
“Quick! Bar anyone from entering the battle arena! All who wants to enter will have to pay an entry fee of fifty- wait no, a thousand low-grade spirit stones!!”
The fat on the man’s face trembled as he yelled that and the guards didn’t hesitate to carry out his orders.
Soon, enraged cries of people could be heard after hearing they now have to pay to enter.
The chubby man wasn’t done, however, and he pointed at a single guard and said.
“You! Go inform the battle arena Head Guard to have the current occupants in the arena pay the commission fee, if they refuse kick them out!”
“What the fuck?! This greedy bastard!!”
A yell imdiately echoed out from a man who overheard the chubby man’s words.
