Chapter 1155 - 215: Strangers at First Encounter
Yue Mubai came this time for the Sky Wolf Stick. In order not to attract the attention of others, he chose to change his appearance and kept a very low profile.
Who would have thought that with Fire Spirit Ziyan’s shout, everyone turned to look his way, which gave Yue Mubai quite a headache.
Fire Spirit Ziyan’s fiery attire was enough to make any man salivate.
However, most people could only look but dared not make a move.
There happened to be one reckless male martial artist who perceived Fire Spirit Ziyan and Yue Mubai as newcomers and assumed they were easy to bully. While she was distracted by the match, he took the chance to grope her.
This touch disturbed the hornet’s nest, and Fire Spirit Ziyan refused to let it go. Suddenly, there was a commotion that drew the attention of all the contestants.
Fire Spirit Ziyan’s beautiful eyes widened as she stood akimbo, in a fury.
"You wretched woman, so what if I touched you? You dress like this, aren’t you just tempting others? Let me tell you, your type is a dime a dozen in the brothels, but I fancy you, that’s giving you face."
The lecherous male martial artist was shameless, not only refusing to apologize but also taunting verbally.
Upon hearing the comparison to those prostitutes, Fire Spirit Ziyan’s eyes deepened. Suddenly, the male contestant cried out in agony as flames erupted on his body.
The flames surged fiercely, and before long, the martial artist transformed into a fireball, as if doused with oil.
"Help, save me quickly."
The male martial artist screamed, but at this moment, who would dare to step up and help him?
The crowd could only watch as the male martial artist was consumed by the fireball, turning into a piece of charred coal, with a burnt smell lingering in the air.
"Take note, if you dare underestimate our Mu Huo Team, there’s only one outcome, and that’s death. We’re not useless newcomers."
Fire Spirit Ziyan spoke arrogantly and disdainfully scanned her surroundings, clearly having witnessed the scene where Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun were mocked earlier.
As fellow newcomers, the proud Fire Spirit Ziyan evidently looked down on them.
Seeing a seemingly delicate woman kill a grown man in the blink of an eye.
And using such eerie methods, contestants in the Waiting Area exchanged looks, uncertain of what to do.
That woman used a vicious method.
Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun watched in shock.
"You wretched woman, how dare you kill my man." After the man was killed, his companion, a female alchemist, was livid with anger.
"Can’t even keep your own man under control and still dare to embarrass yourself here. Being so ugly, no wonder your man made a move on me." Upon seeing the alchemist, Fire Spirit Ziyan sneered derisively.
The female alchemist’s face turned red and white with rage.
She was about to strike, but at this moment, she locked eyes with Yue Mubai over Ziyan’s shoulder.
The female alchemist let out a cold smile.
A surge of spiritual power attacked Ziyan.
Who would have thought an even stronger wave of spiritual power came crashing down?
The female alchemist’s spiritual power was directly swallowed up.
The female alchemist suddenly turned pale, her body quivered slightly, stepping back, she remained silent.
Ye Lingyue watched secretly in awe.
Only a few keen individuals realized that in that electric flash, the two had already exchanged blows using spiritual power, and clearly, the man had the upper hand.
Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but take another look at the man, especially when it seemed he was a deeply hidden alchemist, possibly at the Fang Venerate level.
"No way, even Lady Dan had to back down."
The crowd that originally expected a show was stunned.
Turns out the discomfited woman was Lady Dan.
She was considered a veteran, though ugly and over the age of forty, she still had many lovers thanks to her alchemical skills.
Lady Dan had also partnered with these lovers to win considerable spirit stones and fame in the Underground Arena Competition.
Experiencing such a silent loss was indeed unprecedented.
After this farce, the Waiting Area temporarily quieted down.
What the contestants failed to notice was that amidst their quarrel, behind the Sound Mirror Array, there were many pairs of eyes watching them, capturing scenes including Si Xiaochun’s clash with Yuan Xing and Ziyan’s killing.
It turns out the Sound Mirror Array was two-way.
Contestants in the Waiting Area only knew that through the Array, they could see the arena’s scenes, unaware that behind the Sound Mirror Array, their every action was also displayed within the Sound Mirror Array in several VIP rooms.
The arena not only had open-air seats, but at its highest level, a few VIP rooms were set up.
Unlike the audience seats below, entering these VIP rooms required paying ten thousand intermediate spirit stones.
As for who occupied the VIP rooms, not even Qin Dong, a backbone member of Huangquan City’s Heroic Society, was certain.
Paying such a hefty sum wasn’t just for watching the competition, of course.
At this moment, one of the VIP rooms was occupied by a few young ladies.
These girls, with smooth skin and delicate features, appeared to be fourteen or fifteen years old, evidently virgins.
Yet, their demeanor carried an inherent allure, clearly handpicked and trained, specially cultivated by the arena to entertain VIP guests.
Currently, the hostesses were blushing, nestled in the arms of several men.
The few presidents in this room were bosses of various businesses on the Ancient You Province continent, where Huangquan City was located.
"Looks like this Underground Arena Competition is rather unusual. I choose the Mu Huo Team." One chubby business president commented on the actions of Fire Spirit Ziyan and Yue Mubai.
To incinerate someone so completely into a fireball without residue, they evidently concluded Ziyan should be an adept alchemist, and her companion, able to repel the opposition so quickly, was not a weakling.
These few wealthy patrons weren’t ordinary people; they were presidents of some businesses in the Ancient Nine Provinces, extremely affluent.
For them, simply gambling spirit stones was no longer thrilling, so they preferred betting with things more valuable than spirit stones in the Underground Arena Competition.
Those stakes ranged from a favored concubine to a year’s profits, with no limits to their creativity.
And this time, they were wagering on who would claim the championship in this Underground Arena Competition.
"I think Yuan Xing’s performance just now was quite commendable." The president with the surname Liu commented.
Yuan Xing’s record in the Underground Arena Competition had always been good.
His composed handling during Witch Eagle’s attack indeed commanded respect and admiration.
After the other two presidents made their picks, only the one seated in the center remained.
