Chapter 45: Beast King Fusheng

  As for the quarrels and discussions coming from all directions in the room, Xia Yan had no reaction at all. He just sat steadily on the challenger's seat, as if he couldn't hear anything. His face was covered with a mask, so others couldn't see what expression he had on his face, and naturally they couldn't guess Xia Yan's mood at this time.

  Xian Yawen remained silent, and many gamblers in the surrounding rooms began to get restless. Normally, before a match, numerous gamblers would comment on the challenger, who would then jump up and boast about their own strength, vowing to defeat the champion. But today's challenger, Ling Luo, was eerily silent.

  "Hahaha... Ling Luo, you clown, don't you dare admit defeat! With your abilities, you still want to challenge Wang Fusheng? Hurry up and roll back to cultivate for a few more years! Hahaha, in the upcoming match, you will definitely be beaten to a pulp, beyond recognition... Kid, hurry up and get out of here!"

  A gambler suddenly rushed out of the room and went under the stage, pointing at Xia Yan and shouting frantically.

  Xia Yan glanced at the man and saw that he was dressed in quite a luxurious attire, apparently from a wealthy family in Yushui City, but didn't know why he was acting so wildly at this time!

  She slightly shook her head, at this time there was less than a short while before the start of the challenge match.

  Xia Yan didn't say anything, but a woman rushed out of another room with a fierce momentum. The woman was wearing a light red floral long dress and had an exceptionally large golden hairpin on her head, which made her look quite attractive.

  She rushed to the foot of the stage, pointing at the man with a sharp voice and scolding: "You bastard, evil rascal, ugly ghost with scars all over your face, how dare you insult Mr. Ling Luo? Why don't you hurry back home and drown yourself in urine, living in this world is simply a waste of food."

  The woman scolded that person fiercely, then turned to Xia Yan, put on a chilling smile and said: "Ling Luo brother, you must win, I've bet all my private savings on you!"

  Xia Yan heard her deliberately soft and gentle tone, and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He thought to himself, Still Ling Luo Gege? I'm only 15 years old, your age is probably twice mine...

  The man who was scolded by the woman, his whole body trembling with rage, clearly recognized this woman. At this time, his lips turned white, and his right hand trembled as he pointed at the woman in front of him, wanting to retort back, but was scanned by the woman's fierce gaze, and the words that had reached his mouth were swallowed back.

  "Ho ho, honorable guests, good afternoon! Today's challenge match is about to begin. The host of the challenge match is Mr. Wang Fusheng, and the challenger is Mr. Ling Luo. These two strong men have participated in previous challenge matches, which I believe many esteemed guests present today have watched. Their abilities are not worth mentioning again. The upcoming challenge match will surely be extraordinary!"

  "Alright... ladies and gentlemen, the bidding for the horse is about to end. Those who haven't placed their bets yet, please hurry up! This is a rare opportunity, trust your instincts, you might just become richer than others after this challenge, don't let it slip away!"

  Yafen, dressed in a stunning red gown, stood on the high platform, her sweet voice echoing through the second-floor hall. Her voice seemed to carry an inexplicable allure, and with just a few simple words, the previously bustling hall fell completely silent. Moreover, many people who had already placed their bets couldn't help but rush to the counter again, their blood boiling with excitement.

  Yafen spoke, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing over at Xia Yan on the stage. Xia Yan saw that she kept glancing over, so he also looked over. Who knew that Yafen's small mouth slightly pursed in the direction of the pawnshop counter, apparently telling Xia Yan to go pawn more things. Xia Yan furrowed his brow and sighed inwardly, thinking, I'd like to pawn more, but I don't have that much money!

  Behind the stage, a small door flashed, and a figure suddenly fell into Xiaoyan's line of sight. Xiaoyan saw that this person was slightly short in stature, about the same height as himself at 15 years old, wearing extremely ordinary cotton clothing, holding a huge silver hammer, which looked heavy just by its weight.

  What made Xia Yan somewhat astonished was that his arms were extremely long, and his left hand, which wasn't holding a hammer, naturally hung down to the position of his knees. The back of his hands and arms were covered with long black hair, looking very strange. Xia Yan's gaze condensed slightly as he stared at this person walking from the back door all the way to the stage.

  And this man walked out of the back door, his eyes fixed on Xia Yan sitting in the challenge seat. He was Wang Fusheng, today's champion. Beforehand, Wang Fusheng had specifically asked about Ling Luo, who was challenging him, and learned that Ling Luo's sword skills were extremely exquisite, especially skilled in body techniques. In the previous five challenge matches, his opponents each time lost sight of him before being defeated by a single sword strike. However, this Ling Luo did not kill his opponents! Five challenge matches, and not one person was injured!

  "Not ruthless and venomous enough, humph, you're not suitable for a brutal fight! No matter how strong your sword skills are, you can't bring out its true power. Today, I will thoroughly defeat you on this stage!" Wang Fusheng walked onto the stage, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and he secretly sneered to himself.

  The killing intent is so heavy! Xia Yan's face slightly changed, and his expression became serious. This Wang Fusheng seemed to have casually stepped onto the stage, but Xia Yan could even feel the overwhelming killing intent rushing towards him. This killing intent was absolutely cultivated through thousands of battles, ordinary people simply couldn't possess such a palpable killing intent.

  It is said that when Wang Fusheng was born, his whole body was covered with black hair. His parents abandoned him in the mountains because of this. However, Wang Fusheng did not die and was rescued by a hunter in the mountains. When he was ten years old, the hunter who saved his life was bitten to death and eaten by several hungry wolves in the mountains. In a fit of rage, Wang Fusheng went mad and held an axe to fight the wolves to the death, eventually killing all of them.

  From then on, Wang Fusheng fought with wild beasts in the mountains every day. After thirty years of hard work, he finally opened up his meridians and obtained a martial arts manual called "Hunyuan War Hammer". This manual is not a human-grade secret book, but just an unorthodox secret book. However, among the unorthodox martial arts, "Hunyuan War Hammer" is considered top-notch.

  Wang Fusheng relied on the martial skills of "Hunyuan War Hammer" to make a name for himself in Yushui City. In recent years, he has been competing in extreme challenge arenas and has been defending his mid-level arena for one year and three months.

  Like Xia Yan, Wang Fusheng also did not wear any protective armor in the challenge match.

  "The challenge match is now beginning!"

  The staff on the scene first gestured to Xia Yan and Wang Fusheng if they had any problems, and only shouted loudly after getting their responses.

  "Wah wah wah~"

  As soon as the staff's voice fell, the rooms around them suddenly erupted in frantic cheers.

  Those who can enter the second floor of the Extreme Challenge Arena and press their bets in Yu Shui City, even if they are not big shots, must be quite wealthy. However, at this moment, each of their faces is twisted and distorted, as if they are about to go crazy.

  But think about it, in the intermediate arena betting, one bet is five hundred gold coins, which means that each of the bettors here has at least bet five hundred gold coins. So many gold coins, even in the eyes of those who are relatively wealthy, are absolutely a considerable amount.
