BXBX NOVEL Chapter 148: In the Arena
Tang Yin swung his sword a bit bored as he put it on the neck of the person in the arena in front of him.
\'It\'s boring.\' Tang Yin thought.
Originally, he thought it might be fun, what if they put him against a pretty strong one that would make him reach his limit? He thought.
But no, they put him against a Spiritual Master.
So, he ended the fight in one movement and walked out of the arena.
This one was lonely, but he could hear the shouts of many people cheering in other arenas.
That was what he wanted.
Supposedly, the more stakes in a match, the more sect points he could win.
And now he knows the usefulness of sect points. There are a lot of very good spiritual herbs and interesting treasures he can get with this. Plus, if he goes to the Blacksmith Hall, he could buy External Spiritual Weapons made by those there, with said points and stuff.
It\'s something really useful for him, looking to create a force.
But, this match, was not seen by many people, and no one placed bets, although Tang Yin was hiding his cultivation realm. Also, since his cultivation was higher than his opponent\'s, he wasn\'t given any sect points.
\'Well, as an unranked, I guess it\'s normal.\' Tang Yin thought with a smile and looked at Bai Lixue with a similar expression coming to him.
"No fun, it only lasted one hit, how about you?" she asked.
"Same." Tang Yin replied, and then they set out to search again.
His second fight...
The same.
In their third bout, they won it the same way.
Their fourth bout...
It was exactly the same.
Still Tang Yin, this time, could tell that his sect points increased as soon as he left the arena.
This is automated.
\'Oh? In the past I got only 20, but in this fight against that little guy, I got 200 sect points.\' Tang Yin thought with a smile, and just then, Bai Lixue approached him with a smile.
"Tang Yin, I got 1,000 sect points in this match, how about you?" she asked, and Tang Yin was surprised.
"That many!? I only got 200..." Tang Yin replied in surprise, and she puffed out her chest in pride.
"Hehe, there are some little guys there yelling for me and they seem to be betting on me. Maybe they\'ve seen my other fights. But the other one wasn\'t that weak and got bets too, that\'s why I won so much." She replied.
And Tang Yin smiled as he shook his head.
\'In the end, her beauty attracts the masses and they bet on her, but she was also lucky.\' Tang Yin thought, and both of them then began to search for their next target...
Soon, a small sound came from both tokens, which meant that the opponent had been found and they should walk to the marked arena.
\'This is so effective.\' Tang Yin thought with a smile.
The other person who had touched him was also on a streak of 4 wins in a row, that was why he was chosen to be Tang Yin\'s opponent. Besides, he was unranked just like him.
When Tang Yin arrived at the arena, he was surprised.
\'Is he one of the new disciples?\' Tang Yin thought when he saw him.
His cultivation was of the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Lord Realm, and with 4 wins in a row, he must be what he thought.
\'Besides, he has some fans.\' Tang Yin thought, and the man in front of him, who was proud, looked at him arrogantly.
"Come on, I want to get things done fast, fellow disciple. No running around in the arena." He said with a smile and drew his sword.
Tang Yin pulled out his spear this time.
In the stands, several people started talking about these two contenders and betting back and forth.
"I have seen that sword guy 3 times and he has made me win on all three occasions. I\'m sure this time will also be the same, just look at the cultivation level, what are you asking me who will win?" Said one of them who was betting, and the rest played along.
"It\'s obvious, it\'s the Young Master of our second-level empire. That other guy over there just has a pretty face and that\'s it, he\'s even missing an arm." Said another one who was betting as well.
The bets in these small arenas were made with sect points, but in the big arenas where the most powerful, or at least the most famous, are fighting, they usually bet on all kinds of things of value. From spiritual gold coins to real treasures.
Just at that moment, two people with calm smiles came by.
They went with the flow and spoke highly of the Young Master of the empire.
Then they went to bet and lowered their voices.
"Bet all of this on the Blue-Haired Young Man." They both said at the same time, slightly surprising the bettor and another person who overheard them.
"Why do they want to bid on him? His cultivation level is lower and he\'s even a one-armed man, does that make any sense?" the girl to the side of them asked.
They both looked at her and shrugged their shoulders.
"You should be one of the top 10 bettors here, let me tell you, if you want to make your young masters upstairs win, bet on that guy. He\'s won all his fights with one move. Clearly, he\'s not showing his real cultivation." They said and then turned and left.
They had seen Tang Yin win easily, and although they didn\'t recognize his name, they were sure he was a talented person.
The woman standing there looked at them and frowned.
What she was going to bet on the other guy, she split it a bit and bet on both of them in a quick thought and then left.
Just then, the fight had started.
"Boy in blue, I\'m sorry, but I\'m in a hurry and I need to get my rank to start moving up the rankings." Said the man and immediately made a high-speed move lunging towards Tang Yin with force.
Many stood up at that moment.
"It\'s strong!" They said, and just at that moment, they noticed that the sword was heading hard towards Tang Yin\'s neck.
The latter simply moved his spear upward a bit calmly and slowly...
*CLANK*
The sound of both weapons clanking rang through the area, startling them.
Many of them thought that he couldn\'t stop it if he was going at such a speed, \'How the hell did he manage to stop it?\' They thought the same thought that the man in front of Tang Yin had.
But...
That wasn\'t the end of it.
Tang Yin instantly forcefully swung his spear to the right, totally deflecting the blow of this man who totally lost control of his body and fell forward.
But Tang Yin took advantage of this moment to give him two blows with the spear in the chest and then a strong kick that sent him flying for a few meters.
Following that, Tang Yin shot across the ground and reached this man\'s side while putting the tip of the spear on his neck.
This man was stunned.
Tang Yin\'s first few blows were powerful even though they didn\'t seem dangerous at all, and that kick?
It practically knocked him out of breath for a moment, but as a skilled cultivator, he was able to recover while he was in the air and just as he was planning to get up...
He had the spear in his neck?
What the heck?
"You lost." Tang Yin said simply.
