Chapter Twenty-Five: Five Victories in All
The third floor of the Jade Water City Extreme Challenge venue, with luxurious room decorations, probably everyone who enters this room will be amazed!
Yafen, dressed in a stunning black evening gown, walked straight into the room without any change of expression on her face. This room was one of only two places in the entire Extreme Challenge arena where only two people could enter at will. One of them was Yafen, who was breathtakingly beautiful. The other was a middle-aged man with piercing eyes.
At this time, behind the magnificent purple wood, sat the person with the greatest authority in the venue. Yafen was his trusted assistant.
"Yafen, what's up?"
As the footsteps approached, the middle-aged man raised his head, with eyes as sharp as a beast in the deep forest, piercingly scanning Yafen's face. As if already accustomed to such gazes, Yafen was not affected by this stare.
"Today, a challenger wearing a mask has come to sign up for the challenge!" Yafen lightly opened her vermilion lips and said slowly.
The middle-aged man did not speak, quietly waiting for Yafen to continue speaking. Obviously, Yafen would not come to report to him just because a challenger wearing a mask appeared. If so, Yafen would not be able to sit in today's position either.
"This man has challenged the original number one fighter, Mount Tai!" Yafen continued to say.
"Tai Shan has lost!" The middle-aged man's body didn't move at all, he just said in a light tone.
"Yes, after Taishan's defeat, he became the new number one champion and accepted four challenges within three hours. Each challenge ended with his victory!" Yafen's tone had a slight fluctuation, her high and proud chest also had a slight undulation, her beautiful eyes staring straight at the man behind the table.
"The ones who challenged him are Wuying, Haibao, Kuang Xiansheng and Su Ling!" Yafen continued with her slender fingers moving slightly.
At this time, some changes finally appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
These four people are also quite famous in the arena, because each of them has participated in no less than a hundred battles in the arena and has a very high winning rate. These four people are also very welcome by many gamblers. Because as long as they bet on them, the chances of winning are great.
But today, these four people all disappointed the gamblers!
The reason for this variable is a newcomer who has never had any challenging experience. This newcomer, called Ling Luo, from morning to afternoon, the name of Ling Luo was almost known to all gamblers.
They experienced a series of painful failures. Although Ling Luo won match after match, most gamblers still believed he would lose the next one.
Because every time someone challenges him, they are stronger than the previous challenger. Moreover, the strength displayed by this Ling Luo in the challenge doesn't seem strong at all!
It's just a few simple changes, a few moves, and the opponent is easily defeated. It's as if everyone deliberately lost to Lin Luo!
"Every challenge, the challenger has not been defeated by a single move, including Taishan, none of the five people can withstand his one sword! His swordsmanship seems to be 'Sun and Moon Unmatched Sword'! But I've studied it carefully, his swordsmanship is much more powerful than 'Sun and Moon Unmatched Sword'!" Yafen's tone became somewhat urgent, her beautiful eyes shining with light.
How did Yafen know that Xia Yan was using a refined and merged version of the Day and Night Twin Swords?
The middle-aged man's breathing also became heavier, and it was clear that his mood had changed a lot. He looked at Yafen again, and his body stood up from behind the table.
"This challenger is called Ling Luo, and after being evaluated by the professional evaluators we hired, his martial skills have reached a terrifying sixty degrees!" Yafen suddenly raised her voice, her cheeks flushing pink, her body trembling slightly.
In Jade Water City, there aren't many people who can bring out sixty degrees of martial arts power. So when Yafen heard this astonishing number, she couldn't help but feel some excitement. Even now, just saying it again still fills her with great excitement.
Because of this, Ling Luo will enter the intermediate arena! The vast Yu Shui City Extreme Challenge Arena has only three intermediate arenas. And these three arenas, on average, have a challenge every three days. The original three arena masters have not been replaced for more than half a year. Now that this Ling Luo has appeared, it is very likely that he will successfully challenge and become the new arena master!
"This person's martial arts skills are not just sixty degrees! They may be far higher than sixty degrees!" the middle-aged man suddenly said.
"What?" Yafen exclaimed in surprise, "Is he really that strong? But I feel like he's very young, not even over twenty years old!"
A woman's intuition is indeed keen, and although she couldn't see Xia Yan's face and he was disguising his voice to sound hoarse, Yafen could still sense that he was very young.
"This person, I want to meet! Someone who can defeat Su Yi with one sword is not often seen!" The middle-aged man's mouth corner floated a smile, his eyes looked towards Yafen.
Su Ling, in total fought 294 battles in the arena, winning 222 of them. He challenged for the mid-tier champion title eight times but failed each time. Those who can become mid-tier champions are all extremely powerful individuals.
"I'll go arrange it right away!" Yafen heard this and was slightly taken aback, she hadn't expected him to actually want to see that Ling Luo. The reason Yafen had come to report this matter was actually just to get him to pay attention to this person called Ling Luo.
At this time, Xia Yan, who had already fought five battles, was walking down from the arena and entering the back door of the venue. The back door of the venue could only be used by the host.
"One hundred and sixty gold coins have arrived, at this speed, it won't be long before those medicinal materials are fully purchased." Xia Yan's mouth slightly curved upwards under his mask.
"Hey, I just realized that there's another huge benefit to taking on and accepting challenges. In this life-or-death battle, my understanding of sword techniques has actually deepened! If they were even stronger, perhaps I could have gained an even deeper understanding."
"What about the strength of a mid-tier champion?"
Summer words edge walk, mind thinking, in the midst of many pawn sad cries, disappeared at the back door.
On the dueling arena, a man in white clothes was lying down. This person was Su Li, who had just been defeated by Xia Yan! Xia Yan did not kill Su Li and didn't even injure him, but Su Li lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, because the sword strike Xia Yan used earlier left him bewildered!
He wanted to think carefully, but he found that no matter how hard he thought, he didn't know how Xia Yan's sword was used. That sky-shrouded sword, the sword shadow came from all sides, and in the blink of an eye, it fell on his own throat. The trajectory of the sword technique, Su Liang thought about it until his head was broken, but he couldn't understand it.
Xia Yan returned to the main rest room, and soon a staff member sent over a small black bag, rustling with different sounds. Xia Yan smiled slightly, this was the reward, 160 gold coins!
"I want to buy the four medicinal herbs that Saint Emperor wants. Five stalks of 50-year-old Qingzhi grass will cost at least 250 gold coins, five stalks of 50-year-old Liuye fruit will cost at least 400 gold coins, two stalks of Zileng grass will cost about 200 gold coins, and one 100-year-old Sierlan flower will cost at least 500 gold coins. Adding it all up, I'll need at least 1350 gold coins, maybe more!" Xia Yan sat on the resting seat, calculating the amount of gold coins he temporarily needed.
