Chapter 22: Challenge the Number One Fighter

  Xia Yan waved his hand, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth under the mask. He deliberately made his voice slightly hoarse and said, "No need!"

  The power of the 40-degree martial skill? Xia Yan smiled lightly in his heart, if this number one champion's cultivation is similar to that of the "Sun and Moon Unparalleled Sword", then the number of meridians he has opened up should be around 80. To defeat him, Xia Yan wouldn't need to exert too much effort.

  "It seems that Mr. Ling Luo is quite confident in himself!" Yafen's eyebrows slightly moved, and her eyes sparkled with light as she smiled, revealing her white teeth.

  Xia Yan pursed his lips and said calmly, "Confidence requires strength! Miss Yafen, the real reason I came here is that I urgently need some gold coins, so no matter how strong the host is, I must go defeat him!"

  Yafen thought to herself, indeed, this guy is a desperate man who would risk his life for wealth and treasure. Yafen's mood didn't change much because of this, in the extreme challenge arena, it was common for challengers to be killed during battles. Even if this person died in the challenge, it had nothing to do with her.

  If she knew that Xia Yan was in urgent need of gold coins to challenge because he wanted to buy six-leaf fruit and other medicinal materials, then her idea might have changed completely. Generally, people who buy medicinal materials are naturally for alchemy. Alchemy requires a pharmacist, and the status of a pharmacist is exceptionally noble, so generally, people who buy medicinal materials can't afford it. Even if they themselves are not pharmacists, they must know pharmacists.

  The better the quality of the purchased medicinal materials and the higher the grade, the higher the level of the pharmacist behind.

  "Ah... Although Mr. Ling Luo doesn't need to check the information of the first challenger, I still want to tell you some things about him. The first challenger's name is Taishan, he has a fiery temper and is extremely powerful. In his previous four challenges, all challengers were severely injured. His fourth challenge was two days ago, and no one has challenged him in these two days!" Yafen turned around and walked to the purple desk, her fingers tapping lightly on the surface, making a crisp sound.

  "Is it because everyone is afraid?" Xia Yan asked casually, without any concern or implication, just a casual continuation of the conversation.

  "Exactly! Mr. Ling Luo, are you worried?" Yafen turned around with a charming smile, her expression didn't change much, but in her heart, another strange feeling arose. What kind of person is this Ling Luo? Why do I have such great curiosity about him? I always feel like there's something unusual!

  "No, I won't kill him." Xia Yan shook his head, evading the question.

  Xia Yan wore a common plain citizen's attire that could be seen everywhere on the streets, a blue cotton long shirt. However, Yafen had a special feeling about Xia Yan, which might have something to do with her keen senses.

  Yafen heard this and was slightly stunned, thinking to herself that this guy really is confident, could he actually have some skills? That Taishan, can't just exert 40 degrees of martial arts power! In the previous four battles, he didn't even need to exert higher martial arts power to defeat his opponents.

  At this moment, someone rushed in from outside the door.

  "Miss Ya Fen, everything is ready. The challenge can begin in half an hour." The person who came in was from the internal affairs of the arena, and it was him who just went to arrange Xia Yan's challenge with Tai Shan.

  At this time, in the outer hall, a huge cardboard had some black big characters written on it. Half an hour later, Ling Luo challenged No. 1 arena master Tai Shan.

  These past few days, the great name of Taishan, the number one champion, has been known to many people. Everyone knows that Taishan's strength is extremely fierce and cruel. In the last two days, no one dared to challenge him. Unexpectedly, today someone came to challenge Taishan, the number one champion.

  But the challenger was a name he had never heard before, Ling Luo!

  Most people in the venue naturally didn't think that Ling Luo could win the challenge, they were certain that Tai Shan would be the final winner. With one more victory, Tai Shan would achieve five consecutive wins and could challenge the intermediate champion. Even if he didn't continue to challenge, he could still take 160 gold coins and leave.

  One hundred and sixty gold coins...

  At the betting counter, Mount Tai's odds are as high as 10 to 1! Even with such a huge payout, people still flock to bet on Mount Tai. From this, it can be seen that Ling Luo is not favored by the vast majority of people.

  "Uh-huh." Yafen nodded and turned to Xia Yan, "Mr. Ling Luo, the primary arena is underground, please follow me. You have half an hour to prepare."

  Xia Yan nodded and said: "Thank you!"

  The first floor is the Treasure Hall, while the underground is the primary arena, the second floor is the intermediate arena, and the third floor is the high-level arena.

  The third floor where the high-end arena is located, that's where all the big shots gather. Some famous and wealthy people even occupy this place for a long time. There are three mid-range arenas, but only one high-end arena.

  As Ya Fen arrived underground, she felt a sudden change. This underground was filled with a bloody smell.

  Among the ten arenas, seven are currently undergoing challenges. Each arena is surrounded by many cultivators, and even ordinary people.

  A cacophony of noise, a din of clamor, a chorus of curses, rising and falling in waves!

  One by one, people who had mortgaged their treasures in a large hall were red-faced and shouting for the objects they had mortgaged.

  The battle on the stage is also extremely fierce, and it can be said that every move is fatal.

  On this arena, the losing side not only gets no reward but may also lose their life, so no one will hold back and everyone comes up with their strongest attack.

  Xia Yan glanced at all the arenas and didn't see any particularly impressive battles, most of them were around 20-30 degrees of martial power.

  After walking through the usual path, Ya Fen finally stopped in front of the No. 1 stage and turned around to look at Xia Yan. At this time, many people present had already focused their attention on Xia Yan's direction.

  Because the enchanting and deadly Yafen has appeared!

  Although the challenge information has just been released, almost everyone in the venue knows that there is a challenger challenging the number one champion.

  Seeing Xia Yan's attire, everyone couldn't help but feel even more disappointed.

  Xia Yan looks weak and frail, wearing a mask, doesn't seem like someone with any real power.

  And his next opponent, the number one contender Taishan, was a full two heads taller than him, with muscles all over his body that seemed to be about to explode.

  Tai Shan has not arrived yet.

  "After a half-hour challenge, it officially began. Mr. Ling Luo, it seems that not many people have high hopes for you." Yafen glanced around the boiling crowd with a faint gaze, her sexy lips opening and closing.

  "Heh heh, is it?!" Xia Yan smiled and shook his head, "They'll regret it soon enough!"

  "Hmm, I think so too." Yafen nodded slightly and said, this guy is really arrogant. The challenge hasn't even started yet, and he hasn't even seen the host, but he's already determined that he'll win.
