It’s him.” Bates cleared his throat and said in amazement, “If he participates, isn’t he guaranteed to win a hundred victories?”
The nearby Bebe said, puzzled, “Eh? I remember that he travelled faster than us. Logically speaking, he should’ve arrived at Miluo Island long before us. He shouldn’t be here with us at the same time.”
Travelling by himself, that black-haired man was indeed very fast.
But Linley thought back to the conversations of the others in the restaurants.
From Bluemaple City to Miluo Island, all of the larger bandit forces had been destroyed.
“Perhaps it was because he destroyed so many bandit forces on the way. Or perhaps he was training on the way.” Linley said to himself.
Linley immediately began to watch the arena carefully. After all, the person battling was the powerful black-haired man.
“You are too weak. Beat it!” A calm voice echoed in the air above the arena. The speaker was the black-haired man. His opponent was dressed in a long white robe, and was a handsome, violet-haired youth who wielded a scepter that was flashing with white light.
The viewing area immediately burst into a commotion. It had been many years since they saw someone so arrogant, to order the opponent to beat it before the battle even began.
The violet-haired youth, hearing this word, couldn’t help but feel enraged. “You’ll only know after fighting!”
The black-haired man couldn’t help but stare at him.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, two bolts of electric light shot out from the black-haired man’s eyes. The speed was so fast that the violet-haired youth wasn’t able to dodge at all. It directly slammed into the violet-haired youth’s body, and the violet-haired youth trembled slightly, then collapsed, never to rise again.
The hundreds of thousands of onlookers were all momentarily stunned.
The entire viewing platform was utterly still.
“Weaklings should not come. If you do, you are looking for death. Next challenger. Someone stronger. I’ll just keep fighting here!” The black-haired man said calmly.
Consecutive battles!
This was an extremely arrogant display, because if one engaged in consecutive battles, one wouldn’t have the chance to choose one’s opponent. Regardless of who the next opponent was, he had to do battle! Even if the next opponent was an Asura, he’d still have to do battle.
But of course, there was no way an Asura would participate.
Thus, as long as one wasn’t completely hot-heated, generally speaking only a true expert would dare to do consecutive battles.
“Lomio, one victory!” A voice rang out from within the arena. “Everyone, right now, Mr. Lomio has chosen to engage in consecutive battles. Any Highgod, no matter who, is permitted to participate. Anyone who is interested can immediately go down below to register. Alright, now, time for the second battle!”
Linley watched without blinking.
He watched straight from the first to the tenth battle!
As for the eleventh battle…it wasn’t that Linley didn’t want to continue watching, it was that he no longer had the chance to.
This was because every person who wanted to fight in the Arena could only fight ten battles each day. Even if one wanted to fight a hundred battles, one would have to spread it out over ten days. Lomio fought ten consecutive battles, gaining victory easily in each one. His power was so great that the onlookers all found it hard to breathe as they watched.
“Too powerful.” Linley’s heart was trembling. “This person is very skilled in both material attacks and soul attacks. In addition, from start to finish, he’s never even drawn his warblade.”
“Lomio.” Linley memorized this name.
They went to watch a few battles at the God Arena and the Demigod Arena. Bebe even joined the God Arena and fought ten battles in a row. Given Bebe’s power, just by unleashing a bit of his might, he easily won ten victories!
After leaving the Arena, Linley’s group headed straight for the Free Castle.
“Bebe, how bored are you? You actually went to compete.” Linley laughed.
“Ten victories, y’know. At least I got this medallion. I’ll be getting a 10% discount when shopping.” Bebe said delightedly.
Linley was speechless. How much money could shopping possibly use up? 10% off was nothing to them. Given the wealth which Linley and Bebe currently had, a discount of 10% was meaningless.
“The Free Castle is beautifully built.” Linley looked at the distant, dark green walls and the red-topped ancient castle. This castle’s entrance was like a nonstop flood of people.
“This place has many products for sale. Some of the Starmist Sea, some from other continents. It has even more things for sale than the Blacksand Castles of the Redbud Continent.” Aches sighed in amazement.
Linley’s group immediately entered through the gateway.
At the sides of the entrance to the Free Castle, a man with black hair who was dressed in a long, loose robe was lazily lying down in the grass, holding and nursing a bottle of wine. If Linley had seen him, he would immediately have recognized him – this was an old friend who, like them, had come from the Yulan continent. Cesar!
Cesar currently looked very dispirited.
“Last time? Haha, last time?” Cesar raised his head to laugh loudly, his tears dripping down.
Quite a few people on the streets turned to look at him, but none of them would be so bored as to interfere.
“Eh?” Linley, already at the gateway, suddenly turned to look into the distance. He stared carefully, but around him was a sea of people. “Could I have misheard?” Linley, just now, vaguely felt as though he had heard Cesar’s voice.
But there were many people with similar voices, and although Linley looked carefully, he didn’t see Cesar.
“I must have heard wrong.” Linley shook his head and sighed.
“Boss, let’s head in. What are you looking at?” Bebe said, and Delia looked towards Linley as well.
“Let’s go in.” Linley laughed. He thus entered the Free Castle along with Delia.
But what Linley didn’t know was that Cesar was lying in the grass by the road. If Cesar had stood up, Linley would perhaps have seen him, but he was lying down…how could Linley discover him?
