ch 455 – Arena Competition (6)
A sound like that of a thunder exploded and another fight was over!
This time there were blood coming out of the corner of the mouth of both martial masters; evidently, they were both injured. Old Man Ying did not let them continue and a new pair was brought onto the stage.
“My name is Gu Chengli and I am a martial king. I hope to fight another martial king!” This Gu Chengli did not say too much after he hopped onto the stage but directly announced his cultivation level as well as stating that he did not wish to fight any martial spiritualist.
At the same time, he had a very majestic look and his composition wild and arrogant. He was like a bronco that could not be tamed and he looked at down on everyone from above the stage with disdain and contempt.
As soon as she saw this person, Cheng Xiao Xiao was not fond of him right away. She didn’t care that he was a martial king. The first impression was quite bad; she was looking for guards, not an emperor.
“Xiao Xiao, if you don’t like this type of person, we don’t need to take him on!” said Mo Xuanzun as though he could see through her, but he went on to add, “This person might be arrogant and unruly, but sometimes you can’t always judge a book by it’s cover. Perhaps it was just the way that he presented himself.”
“Oh? Why do you say that? Did you see something on him that I didn’t see?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao, full of curiosity.
“No, that I didn’t.”
“You….” Said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she rolled her eyes. She then said, “But, I guess you are right. We shouldn’t come to a conclusion so easily. Might as well wait and see!”
Old Man Ying, also standing on the stage, gave him an odd look but did not decline his request. Instead, he said to everyone else below the stage in a straightforward manner, “Is there any other martial king among you who’d like to challenge this young man? If not, he just might become the top winner.”
The top winner. Everybody knew that meant the very handsome rewards. All of a sudden, everybody’s look turned into burning eagerness and not a single one who didn’t want to be the #1 winner.
“I’ll take him on!”
With the voice came a slender silhouette.
“It’s him! Zongzheng Zhuxuan! He had broken through to martial king some ten years ago. I couldn’t believe he is participating in this recruitment as well!”
“Don’t be ridiculous. These martial kings aren’t applying to be guards. The worse of them will still be elders. Have you forgotten hat they have mentioned that anyone who is martial king or above can apply to become elders of Count Zhongyuan’s Residence?”
“That’s exactly right! These martial kings won’t become guards, so we still have hopes!”
“The 50 guards from yesterday didn’t show up today. I wonder where they went?”
“Could it be possible that they were already sent to Sacred Land Zhongyuan?”
“That’s not possible. We never saw them leaving town yesterday!”
“Haven’t you heard that Sacred Land Zhongyuan had a lot of mystical cranes? I don’t think we will necessarily know when and if they have left town!”
“Shhhh, quiet. It’s about to start!”
The whispering below the stage stopped. Pairs and pairs of eyes burning with passion, craze, admiration, and respect focused on the two martial kings on the stage.
Gu Chengli, who was full of haughtiness, did not look too good having saw the somewhat well-know Zongzheng Zhuxuan. The way he looked at him got progressively chillier.
Zongzheng Zhuxuan didn’t care about his opponent’s look. His eyes beamed with confident and with a step of the foot and a loud BANG sound, the entire stage rocked. Coldly, he said, “C’mon, let’s see who would be the #1 and become the elder of Count Zhongyuan’s Residence!”
His word confirmed everyone’s suspicion.
“Abacus, do you know of this Zhongzheng Zhuxuan?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao.
Nodding slightly, Mo Xuanzun didn’t try to hide anything, “No. I rarely ever travelled and those that I know are mostly from the Top 4 Powers. I know very little people outside of that!”
