Chapter 44: Challenging the Intermediate Arena Master

  Extreme challenge venue, noon time.

  Normally, the most lively moment of an extreme challenge event is in the evening, but today, although it's noon, it's crowded with people, looking even more lively than in the evening.

  The venue had announced the news two days ago, and at noon two days later, a challenger would challenge the intermediate champion. In fact, the intermediate championship challenge is basically held once a week, although the gamblers who pay attention to the intermediate challenge are definitely more than those of the primary challenge, but it won't be as lively as today. Today's liveliness is because the challenger of the intermediate champion is Ling Luo.

  Ling Luo has only participated in five challenge matches at the Jade Water City Extreme Challenge Arena, and he won all five. Moreover, what's most impressive is that each of his victories was achieved with a single move that defeated his opponent. Such victories have earned him a kind of fanatical admiration from many people.

  Many people who have watched the Ling Luo Challenge are always discussing how strong Ling Luo's strength is, and what kind of secret skills Ling Luo uses. Especially Ling Luo's movements, footwork, look simple, but countless people have tried to experiment and imitate after the challenge, but can't do it like Ling Luo did.

  However, there are many different opinions and no one can confirm just how strong Ling Luo is.

  The official statement from the Extreme Challenge Arena is that Ling Luo's martial skills have a power of seventy degrees, and the reason he can always defeat his opponents with one move is due to his unpredictable and mysterious footwork. Ling Luo's footwork makes it impossible for primary fighters and challengers to lock onto his position.

  Xia Yan wore a mask to the Extreme Challenge arena when it was half an hour before the start of the game. As soon as he entered the venue, he attracted countless gazes. In the first floor hall, many people recognized Ling Luo's figure!

  The hostess of the party, the enchanting and charming Miss Yafen, had been waiting for him at the entrance of the venue for a long time. Yafen was still as charming and dazzling as when they first met. This woman could set off a riot with just one move, her lethal power over men was extremely great.

  She wore a red dress today and looked even more stunning!

  "Mr. Ling Luo, there's still half an hour before your challenge begins, is there anything you need to prepare?" Yafen led Xia Yan into the second floor of the arena.

  The second floor of the Extreme Challenge Arena, the space is the same size as the first floor and underground, but there are only three arenas. These three arenas, each one is several times larger than the primary arena underground.

  And around the arena, there are many rooms, these rooms are all for gamblers.

  Those who can enter the second level of pawnbroking are either from wealthy families or have relatively high strength and wealth.

  Just on the second floor, you can see three exquisite counters, but at this time only one counter has staff. Apparently, this counter is responsible for conducting today's intermediate champion challenge pledge.

  "No!" Xia Yan shook his head.

  Xia Yan was still thinking about the 1,500 gold coins he owed to the Extreme Challenge Arena. These days of debt were really uncomfortable. At this moment, he had around 580 gold coins left on him.

  After today's challenge is over, he will be able to return 1,000 gold coins, so he will only owe 500 gold coins.

  Xia Yan saw the long dragon-like crowd waiting to push treasure, and her eyebrows knotted slightly under her mask.

  "Mr. Ling Luo, the intermediate champion you are about to challenge is Wang Fusheng, who has been defending his title on this stage for one year and three months, and has accepted 19 challenges so far without a single defeat. His weapon of choice is the dual hammers, with which he has unleashed his strongest martial arts technique at 80 degrees in all 19 previous matches." Yafen pointed to the large arena in the middle, her red lips opening and closing beneath her pearly whites.

  Although this Ling Luo did not ask, Yafen still wanted to make it clear with Ling Luo. From the past few challenges, Yafen also roughly knew the strength of this Ling Luo. The intermediate arena is not comparable to the primary arena, and each arena master has extremely strong strength. If not careful, this Ling Luo may also be defeated.

  Xia Yan nodded slightly and fell silent for a moment, "What's his odds?"

  Yafen's enchanting face stiffened upon hearing these words, she hadn't expected that Ling Luo was thinking of this question during his silence, and instead thought he was thinking about how to fight against Wang Fusheng.

  After a stiff smile, Yafen said: "The odds are temporarily 1 to 2!"

  Wang Fusheng has been defending the middleweight title for over a year, and many gamblers have great confidence in him, so the odds are a bit higher.

  Of course, there are also some gamblers who favor Ling Luo. Although Ling Luo has not fought many battles, each one is clean and efficient, without any dragging or hesitation.

  "Oh, I see. Since it's two against one... " Xia Yan thought for a moment, "Miss Yafen, can I also bet on this?"

  Xia Yan's gaze was fixed on Yafen, who still had over 500 gold coins on him. If they were used as a wager, after winning, they would be able to earn 1,000 gold coins.

  Yafen was taken aback again, thinking to herself that this Ling Luo was indeed confident. But where did his confidence come from? Did he think that defeating a mid-level arena master would be as easy as defeating a primary arena master?

  You should know that every intermediate arena master has some unique skills, and it's absolutely not easy to be defeated. If not, how could they become the master of an intermediate arena?

  "Alright, the middle arena's betting stake is 500 gold coins per bet. Mr. Ling Luo, to prevent cheating, you can only bet on your own victory and not on Wang Fusheng's victory." Yafen said.

  Xia Yan nodded, "There's still some time now, my gold coins just enough to buy one note, Miss Yafen, you can go busy with your things, I'll wait at the arena after I finish betting, waiting for the challenge to begin."

  Yafen heard this and was immediately at a loss for words, her alluring eyes batting several times. This Ling Luo gentleman's actions were indeed unlike those of ordinary people!

  Yafen smiled and excused herself after exchanging a glance with Xia Yan. Meanwhile, Xia Yan really lined up at the cashier's counter to cash in his winning bet of 500 gold coins.

  "With just over 500 gold coins, I can only bet one stake!" After placing the bet, Xia Yan entered the arena area and sat in the challenger's seat, quietly waiting for the challenge to begin.

  In the surrounding rooms, everyone was discussing whether Ling Luo and Wang Fu Sheng would ultimately emerge victorious. Wang Fu Sheng had been defending his title in the intermediate arena for one year and three months, and in nineteen title defenses, he had not lost a single match, demonstrating his formidable strength for all to see. If he won this challenge match today, he would once again have the opportunity to challenge the high-level champion.

  "Ling Luo, that's Ling Luo, he's indeed wearing a mask..." A gambler in the room pointed at Xia Yan who was sitting on the challenge seat and exclaimed.

  "Hmph, he's no match for Wang Fusheng. You all just wait and see, the final victory will definitely belong to Wang Fusheng, not this Ling Luo. He only got the chance to challenge the mid-level champion because of good luck."

  "Haha, when he encounters a real strong person, he will definitely lose!"

  "I don't think so, Wang Fusheng is not good at speed, as long as Ling Luo doesn't confront him head-on, Wang Fusheng may not be able to win?"

  "Haha, the arena may look big, but for a master like Wang Fusheng, that Ling Luo hiding in any corner will still be within his attack range..."
