The battle began, and the slovenly man, who was not one to be trifled with, made the first move. He swung the dagger in his hand in a wide arc, sending it hurtling through the air as he charged straight at Su Wang.
One was unarmed and injured, while the other was armed and struck first. It seemed like this battle, with its vastly unequal strength, would soon produce the outcome he expected. However, reality gave him a profound "lesson."
Even if this Nascent Soul cultivator is down on his luck, he is still a big shot. Even if he loses his magic power, his combat power is still incomparable to that of ordinary people. Su Wang only glanced at him and already knew the slovenly man's attack trajectory. He nimbly dodged to the side and at the same time stretched out his foot to kick the slovenly man's knee.
Not only did the dagger not even touch the hem of the man's clothes, but it also kicked him hard. The disheveled man felt a sharp pain and lost his balance, falling to his knees with a thud.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Wang lifted the man up, grabbed his arm and twisted it outwards with force, while simultaneously delivering a knee strike to his chest. The force was so great that the man vomited blood and then lost consciousness.
The battle ended, and Su Wang emerged victorious. The onlookers hadn't even seen what happened, and had barely memorized Su Wang's handsome face; even their usual cheers were delayed by three seconds.
Hearing the deafening cheers from the audience outside the arena, and looking at the unconscious man lying on the ground, Su Wang's eyes were filled with bitterness:
"Sigh, I'm getting more and more like a novice as I get older. I never imagined that even at the Awakening stage, I'd still have a day like this, showing my face in public and providing amusement for mortals!"
While sighing, Su Wang patted off imaginary dust from his body. Even though his magical power was sealed, he still had to maintain his dignity.
The slovenly man was quickly dragged away and replaced by a new one. The battle continued. On the other side, although Qi Mu was not as adept as Su Wang, his physical strength and agility ensured that he would not have any chance of getting injured in a one-on-one fight.
Yu Ling sipped his tea, watching his dignified Nascent Soul stage master fight with mortals like he was fighting crickets. He couldn't help but sigh. But just then, he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes staring intently at him, and a chill ran down his spine.
What's going on?! The powerful figure monitoring Su Wang and the others has also discovered their presence? Yu Ling couldn't help but gasp. He knew he had no chance against a Nascent Soul stage expert.
But how could he be willing to just sit and wait for death? He put on the concealment necklace produced by the system, and with the addition of his own concealment technique, he refused to believe that he couldn't fool them.
Due to their height and their pride, Su Wang and Qi Mu didn't even glance at the audience, and naturally didn't notice that Yu Ling was also watching them; otherwise, they would have been too embarrassed to show their faces. With the addition of these two cultivators, the show became increasingly captivating, and the combatants were all defeated in a very short time.
Soon, their opponents changed from mortals to ferocious beasts, one a tiger and the other a wolf. But just then, Yu Ling suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation, her mind sharpened, and she heard a loud rumble as the wall of the arena below broke open, revealing several figures emerging from the dust.
Looking up, she caught sight of a familiar face, and Yu Ling's pupils immediately contracted.
[Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo] How did Chu Fan even show up?
What's going on? A grand gathering of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in Tianwu City? Is Jiang Ying the only one missing? But then he thought again, this effeminate man with immense strength... Never mind, it's better if Jiang Ying doesn't come, otherwise he'll suffer a double blow, both physically and mentally.
The moment Chu Fan entered the arena, Yu Ling had already quietly gotten up and retreated. Only after he and the audience, who were startled by the explosion, had retreated to the outer layer did she look back at the center of the arena.
Su Wang and Qi Mu had already dodged far away immediately, but those two unlucky beasts were hit squarely by the flying rocks, which activated their berserk mode. They locked their aggro on Chu Fan and the other people who were fighting after breaking through the wall, baring their teeth and charging over.
Those who were fighting with Chu Fan were already struggling to hold on. When they saw the big tiger and the wolf that was half a person tall about to join the battle, they were so scared that their faces turned green. They ran away to find reinforcements, leaving Chu Bai alone to face the two cute furry creatures.
This time, without magic, it would be difficult to escape the two furry, gaping maws. Helpless, Chu Fan secretly rubbed some light into his palm, probably using some kind of hidden magic, and then slapped the two furry creatures, sending them flying in a beautiful arc.
Tiger and wolf: ? ? ?
Animals seem to understand the principle of admitting defeat quickly or they'll be in deep trouble. They get up from the ground and run back to their cages, afraid of being beaten.
With his enemy gone, Chu Fan finally felt a huge sense of relief. However, in this vast arena, only he, Su Wang, and Qi Mu remained. Now, it was impossible for them to avoid running into each other...
The unexpected meeting caught all three people off guard, especially Su Wang, who currently held the highest status and wished he could die on the spot to preserve his innocence.
"Venerable Su, what are you doing here???" Chu Fan brought up the very thing he shouldn't have said, making the atmosphere awkward with his words.
Su Wang stopped Qi Mu, who was about to explain, and said in a slightly indifferent tone, "This is not a place for idle talk. Let's leave first."
"Alright." Chu Fan then realized that the way he came in wasn't exactly honorable, and he might feel a little embarrassed if he talked about it. So the three of them crawled out through the hole and disappeared in a few moments.
Yu Ling sensed that strange aura again, but the other party's gaze was clearly fixed on Chu Fan, and she herself did not feel any sense of unease.
Only after the aura of the suspected Nascent Soul stage expert who had been secretly monitoring them completely disappeared did Yu Ling leave the arena, utterly bewildered.
So... what exactly happened to them? Why were they so unlucky? Were they all implicated by Chu Fan's special constitution?
[Should the host go and reunite with them?]
"No way. Would I go and share some of the bad luck the protagonist brings to his teammates? Or do you want me to give you a sealing package deal too?"
Yu Ling slipped away without hesitation, without even the slightest hesitation.
Meanwhile, Chu Fan, along with his two new teammates, violently escaped from the arena. Despite being pursued by numerous forces, they moved swiftly and hid in a relatively secluded and safe place. Once out of danger, he finally noticed that his two clansmen were acting strangely.
