138: Chapter 138: Arena Battle!

This Tang Wei, ranked lower than Xiang Nan?

Isn’t that just easy pickings?

He had only rested at the Xu Family for a day.

The next day, Lin Yi followed Xu Yi to the central square of Shu City.

Today, the two great families of Shu City, the Xu Family and the Tang Family, would hold an arena battle here!

To decide the ownership of the Spirit Mine!

And on that square, it was already crowded early on, with many powerful figures having come to watch the arena battle of the two great families of Shu City!

In the crowd, the members of the Tang Family were waiting in the square, led by the Tang Family Patriarch, Tang Zhen.

When he saw the Xu Family approaching, a mocking smile appeared on Tang Zhen’s face.

“Xu Yi, my Tang Family has decided on this Spirit Mine.

If you are willing to give up now, considering the past relationship between our families, my Tang Family can give you ten percent.

How about it?”

However, Xu Yi was not annoyed.

“It seems that I’ve not seen you for a few days, and your confidence has increased quite a bit.”

“Could it be that you’ve found some formidable help?”

This arena battle did not prohibit external assistance, and since the Xu Family had invited Lin Yi as external support, it was likely the Tang Family might also invite a master to strengthen their side.

Sure enough, a deeper shade of mockery appeared on Tang Zhen’s face.

“Unfortunately, my son Tang Wei has been unwell these last few days, so I, the Family Head, have specially invited Mutuo, a young friend, to fight in place of my son Tang Wei.”

“Mutuo?”

Xu Yi’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze quickly turned toward the Tang Family’s lineup, spotting a muscular young man in black.

“Ranked forty-ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, ‘Iron Man’ Mutuo?”

“Oh no!”

Xu Yi’s heart sank instantly.

“The Tang Family really did bring in strong reinforcements!”

Xu Sanqian, who was behind him, also had a grave expression.

“They actually brought a Heavenly Pride of the Martial Arts Academy to help them!”

“Oh?”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

“This Mutuo is a student of the Martial Arts Academy?”

“Exactly!”

Xu Sanqian nodded.

“This person’s strength is even above that of the Xiang brothers!”

“He is also one of the definite participants for the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries.”

“Brother Lin Yi, are you confident?”

“No problem.”

Lin Yi responded, his demeanor unnervingly unflustered.

However, Xu Yi’s gaze flickered uncertainly.

The opponent’s strength had abruptly increased several notches, yet Lin Yi was still saying it’s no problem?

He frowned and cautioned, “Lin Yi, my friend, this battle in the arena is a fair competition.

You cannot take Elixir Pills, use external forces, or employ secret techniques that temporarily boost strength.”

“Otherwise, you will be declared the loser!”

“I understand.”

Lin Yi nodded.

Seeing that Lin Yi was still not perturbed, Xu Yi felt slightly more reassured.

Could this young man really be so confident that he could face the ‘Iron Man’ Mutuo calmly?

At this point, however, he had no other option but to trust Lin Yi.

Letting Xu Sanqian fight would be equivalent to throwing the match.

Xu Yi calmed himself and looked directly at Tang Zhen, saying indifferently, “Coincidentally, my Xu Family has also invited a young expert to help.”

“Oh?”

Tang Zhen’s expression changed slightly, then his gaze landed on Lin Yi, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“This young brother looks unfamiliar.

I don’t think I’ve seen him before.”

“I am Lin Xiu, from Yun Country.”

Lin Yi bowed to Tang Zhen.

He didn’t plan to use his real name, fearing that it would startle the snake and alert the Martial Arts Academy.

Xu Yi, standing nearby, naturally wouldn’t be too tactless to reveal Lin Yi’s identity.

“Yun Country people?”

A look of disdain quickly replaced the serious expression on Tang Zhen’s face.

Yun Country, that insignificant little country, could it possibly produce any real talent?

Was Xu Yi, that old fool, really that desperate, to actually find a kid from Yun Country to help out?

“It seems that Family Head Xu intends to hand over this Spirit Mine to me on a silver platter!”

Tang Zhen smiled and bowed to Xu Yi, “Then, on behalf of the Tang Family, I thank Family Head Xu!”

“Let’s save that talk until your Tang Family wins!”

Xu Yi was also not in a hurry.

Although the opponent had changed from Tang Wei to Mutuo, if Lin Yi really had the strength Xu Sanqian described, comparable to Lu Li, then Lin Yi was not entirely without a chance to win this battle!

“Enough talk, let’s start already!”

“Iron Man” Mutuo spoke up impatiently.

This Lin Yi was a small fry to him.

He could handle him with one hand.

It would be best to settle this matter quickly, collect the Tang Family’s generous reward, and leave.

After all, his time as a Martial Arts Academy Heavenly Pride was precious.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Tang Zhen’s face, then he looked at Xu Yi and said, “In that case, Family Head Xu, who from the Xu Family will go first?”

Xu Yi glanced at the Great Elder of the Xu Family who, following the sign, stepped forward, “I’ll go first!”

From the Tang Family side, an elder stepped forward as well, none other than the Tang Family Great Elder.

The two then charged onto the Battle Platform to start the royal city showdown!

The strength of these two was very similar, both being at the Ninth Level of the Grandmaster Realm.

To determine a victor would undoubtedly take some time!

Eventually, after half an hour, it was the Tang Family Great Elder who won by a small margin, securing the victory in the first tournament fight.

“Ha ha, Great Elder, well done!”

Tang Zhen looked at the Tang Family Great Elder with wild joy.

But Xu Yi and the rest of the Xu Family, each had a face as dark as iron.

Losing this first match was like a direct blow to the head!

Lin Yi was also somewhat helpless.

If they lost another match, there would be no need for him to even take the stage.

“Family Head Tang, do I need to take the stage?”

Mutuo asked indifferently.

“Let Mutuo act in the next match, don’t worry.

Even if it doesn’t come to your turn, the reward I promised won’t be one bit less!”

Tang Zhen spoke with a smile.

In comparison to owning the rights to a Spirit Mine, the seemingly expensive reward given to Mutuo didn’t account for much.

“That’s good then.”

Mutuo nodded.

Why not take the reward while lying down?

At that moment, both family heads, Xu Yi and Tang Zhen, appeared on the Battle Platform.

The two of them were old foes in Shu City, extremely familiar with each other, and they sparred without holding anything back!

A feral confrontation of True Man Level ensued directly!

Terrible Qi Forces burst forth on the Battle Platform, the residual force released covered hundreds of meters around the entire platform!

Many of the close spectators, hit by the residual force, were sent flying, violently spitting out blood!

The rest of the crowd, faces filled with alarm, withdrew more than a hundred meters, not daring to stay too close to the Battle Platform.

However, Lin Yi and Mutuo were not among those who moved away.

“These two youngsters acting cool, aren’t they afraid of the residual force shooting out from the Battle Platform?”

One spectating Martial Artist complained.

As his words fell, another wave of horrifying residual force erupted from the Battle Platform, startling them.

However, Lin Yi and Mutuo, under this impact of residual force, stood unwavering, steady as old dogs!
