"Work hard and seize the opportunity!" Old He smiled and patted Gu Jiao''s shoulder.
Who was he kidding! How could there be an opportunity?
This young man was brought in here by himself. He could neither be praised nor be criticized, but he was someone who worked hard. With a bit of luck, there might be some hope for ranking within the top seventy or eighty, but that was it.
It was just, when it came to making promises or painting a rosy picture for someone, there was no shortage of meat!
Old He saw the determined look on the young man''s face and wanted to tell her that bing the top-ranked fighter wasn''t just about offerings. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Gu Jiao couldn''t wait any longer and went off to find her own battle tform.
The tforms were arranged randomly, and there was no such thing as an exclusive tform.
She was assigned to the western tform.
When Gu Jiao first came to the underground arena, her most vivid impression was the brutal and bloody fights on the western tform. She seriously suspected that the bare-chested man had beaten his opponent to death.
Gu Jiao was the first one to go up on the tform.
ording to the rules of the underground arena, when someone stepped onto the tform, two square ques on either side would rise up like gs, disying the name and rank of the fighter, usually using titles or aliases.
For example, Gu Jiao''s que disyed the name "Heaven Dominator" with no specified rank.
Originally, Gu Jiao nned to use the name "Dragon Soaring in the Sky," but Old He said that the word "dragon" conflicted with the Emperor''s title, so Gu Jiaopromised and chose "Heaven Dominator" instead.
When Old He saw this name, his mouth twitched for a few seconds.
The name "Heaven Dominator" was well chosen, and everyone assumed it belonged to a burly, bearded man. As a result, when she stepped up, she turned out to be a delicate, clean-cut young boy.
Among women, Gu Jiao was considered tall, but in the underground arena full of burly men, she appeared petite.
When the spectators saw that she had no rank, their interest diminished by half, and they turned their attention to other tforms.
However, this situation changed when the que of Gu Jiao''s opponent was raised. On the square que, it read "de Mountain Traveler," a second-level expert.
The people who had left suddenly returned in a rush.
Gu Jiao made a puzzled sound. There were fourth-level fighters on the southern tform, so how could they settle for a mere second-level opponent?
Soon, de Mountain Traveler stepped up, and Gu Jiao understood what was going on.
This de Mountain Traveler was the bare-chested strong fighter she had seen on the western tformst time. He was incredibly violent, and every punch he threw caused screams from the audience.
People came here for excitement. They wanted to see something thrilling, and as long as it made their adrenaline surge, it was good enough.
At the sight of de Mountain Traveler, Old He''s face instantly changed. "What''s going on? Why is it him? Didn''t we agree that it would be a novice?"
"Surnamed Zhu,e out!" Old He rushed into the ounting room to find the young man surnamed Zhu.
Zhu Yun was busy with bookkeeping and didn''t even lift his eyelids. "Why are you so flustered?"
Old He trembled with anger. "You... you broke your promise! How could you assign him to this person? We agreed it would be a novice! You''ve already taken the money!"
Zhu Yun replied leisurely, "First, let me correct you. The money was handed over to the underground arena. I haven''t filled my own pockets. Besides, fighters below the third level canpete with each other. I haven''t vited any rules of the arena."
Old He clenched his fist. "But you promised..."
Zhu Yun innocently said, "I did promise, but that person had somest-minute issue and didn''t show up. He stood me up, so what could I do? The only option left was de Mountain Traveler. If you''re worried about him losing, just have him quickly jump off the tform. de Mountain Traveler won''t chase him off the tform, and the arena will stop him."
All battles in the arena could only take ce on the tform. Once someone stepped off the tform, regardless of the reason, the fight would end, and the one remaining on the tform would be dered the winner.
Given the situation, Old He couldn''t argue with Zhu Yun any longer, no matter how angry he was. He had to rush to remind Gu Jiao not to face de Mountain Traveler for real.
Just surrender quickly!
He would cover the fine for losing!
That''s right, unlike Taihe Martial Arts School, here the fighters would receive a share if they won, but they would be fined if they lost.
The fine would be deducted from the initial deposit, and once it was depleted, they would lose the qualification to fight in the underground arena.
Gu Jiao''s deposit was provided by Old He, and he didn''t intend to ask Gu Jiao to pay it back.
To understand why Old He was so nervous, we have to start with de Mountain Traveler''s strength. He hade to the underground arenast month and defeated over twenty skilled fighters in just a short month of fighting.
He was only one fight away from advancing to the next level.
It could be imagined how fiercely he would fight in this match.
Because de Mountain Traveler was extremely popr, the western tform was packed with people. The atmosphere was highly charged, and no matter how hard Old He tried, he couldn''t squeeze his way in.
He became frantic and jumped up in the crowd, waving at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao saw him and waved back.
"Come down!" Old He changed to beckoning gestures. Seeing that Gu Jiao didn''t understand, he pointed at de Mountain Traveler, then at Gu Jiao, and made a throat-slitting gesture.
The meaning was clear—— he would kill her! Soe down quickly!
Gu Jiao nodded in response and made an OK gesture, indicating that she would knock out de Mountain Traveler quickly and end the fight.
Old He: Okay, she understands.
Old He didn''t get what her gesture meant, but Gu Jiao nodded at him, so she probably understood his meaning, right?
The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the duel began! Everyone shouted enthusiastically, "de Mountain Traveler! de Mountain Traveler! de Mountain Traveler!"
de Mountain Traveler stretched his neck, cracked his fists, and walked contemptuously towards Gu Jiao.
Old He grew anxious, "Why isn''t sheing down? Come down! Come down quickly—"
s.
Why was he so impatient?
Fine, I’ll do as you wish.
Gu Jiao tiptoed, her body lightly leaped like a swan, and she threw a punch at de Mountain Traveler!
de Mountain Traveler also revealed his iron-like fist——
There was a loud bang, and a figure fell to the ground!
The shouts abruptly ceased, and there was a collective gasp from the audience!
The one who actually fell wasn''t the delicate young man, but the mighty de Mountain Traveler!
One punch...
She only threw one punch!
As de Mountain Traveler fell, Gu Jiao gracefullynded, her knee touching the ground and her fist pressing against the tform beside de Mountain Traveler.
The whole underground arena fell into silence, and even Old He was speechless.
Did... Did he see it wrong?
Wasn''t it actually Young Master Gu who fell? <h4>Raz P.''s Thoughts</h4>
