CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 104: TWO WAYS OUT

Seeing Donghuang Lingling recover from unconsciousness to consciousness in such a short span of time, Chu Yu was even more shocked.

Originally, Yun Sheng was too anxious and didn’t even clearly see the final situation in the No. 9 Arena.

Although Donghuang Lingling was facing Liu Qingqing and wasn’t as proficient in practical combat as her, Donghuang Lingling had been fearless since she was a child.

When she encountered Liu Qingqing’s combat skills, she was also frightened.

But, fright notwithstanding, the abnormal training received from the Dark Gold Master over the past year played a tremendously powerful role at this moment.

Unperturbed by danger, she absolutely must not retreat even when facing a more powerful opponent.

Furthermore, the protection of the Elf Mage Robe that Yun Sheng had given her earlier allowed Donghuang Lingling, in the instant when she was thrown by Liu Qingqing’s beastification tentacles, to release three Thunder Flashes continuously, flinging Liu Qingqing out of the arena as well.

Both of them nearly left the arena simultaneously, one unconscious, and the other severely injured.

When Yun Sheng arrived, she just so happened to see the most disheveled side of Donghuang Lingling and naturally assumed that Donghuang Lingling had lost.

The male referee had earlier explained the situation to Chu Yu, calling Donghuang Lingling the bravest newcomer he had ever seen.

After all, some of the promising players who previously faced Liu Qingqing ended up either dead or crippled.

"Well, Lingling, that means your first match ended in a rare draw," Yun Sheng said with both emotion and amusement.

A draw was indeed a significant surprise for the Dark Night Pavilion, especially since Liu Qingqing had just achieved ten consecutive victories before facing Donghuang Lingling, and never expected to be defeated by a newcomer.

Indeed, Liu Qingqing was capsized in a drain ditch this time.

She and a man named Yellow Night Envoy had long been conspiring together.

Because of her good appearance, decent figure, and being a strong Martial Artist, plus her sweet talking, she was the most favored among the many lovers of Yellow Night Envoy.

Her encounter with Donghuang Lingling was a chance event.

After the match announcements, Yellow Night Envoy found her and identified the newcomer named "Huang" as someone Liu Qingqing should brutally teach a lesson.

However, Yellow Night Envoy also emphasized repeatedly not to hurt "Huang" under any circumstances, as he had his own plans for her.

Having been with Yellow Night Envoy for so long, Liu Qingqing certainly understood his nature, and upon seeing Donghuang Lingling’s demeanor and figure, she immediately realized that Yellow Night Envoy must be planning to entangle with this young, beautiful female Mage.

Fearful of losing her favor, Liu Qingqing, as soon as she entered the arena, did not hesitate to use her Half-Beast Blood, intending to deliver a lethal blow to Donghuang Lingling.

If it had been the old Donghuang Lingling facing such an attack, ten of her wouldn’t have been enough to handle it.

But now it was different. Donghuang Lingling had undergone training; her reflexes and magic attacks were many times stronger than before, and when facing Liu Qingqing’s frenzied attacks, she unconsciously replicated the abnormal training of the Dark Gold Master.

Even when she knew she could not defeat Liu Qingqing, she still fought with a resignation to a mutual destruction.

Thus, the draw today shook the entire No. 9 Arena three times.

"It seems, the grudge between us and the Dark Night Pavilion is getting deeper," Yun Sheng said helplessly after understanding the whole situation.

Firstly, they fought with the Yellow Night Envoy, and also taught a lesson to his main subordinate and lover, indeed creating a deep enmity.

"Liu Qingqing and the Yellow Night Envoy are not kind-hearted. Having offended them, it will be very difficult for you to survive in the entire Yellow Wing Competition Zone. You only have two paths to choose from," Chu Yu also sympathized with Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling’s situation.

However, sympathy is one thing, and helping is another.

"Which two paths?" Donghuang Lingling pressed.

"Leaving Sky Wing City, this land of discord, is the most feasible option," Chu Yu suggested.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, having stayed for half a year before, it was absolutely impossible for them to leave Sky Wing City. This path, needless to say, was closed.

"The second path, is to cooperate with me," Chu Yu said with a smile.

Initially, Chu Yu was not sure whether she could establish a cooperative relationship with the "Flame Emperor." After all, Yun Sheng’s previous victory had many unfathomable aspects.

According to the registration information, "Yan" should be a Mage, but her actions just now seemed more like those of a Martial Artist.

After all, it’s difficult to instantly put someone in a deadly situation using magic.

Chu Yu saw clearly, at that time "Yan" simply had no time to chant.

Nevertheless, Chu Yu was certain that Yun Sheng was the one who could help her break the longstanding dilemma in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone.

"How do we cooperate?" Yun Sheng had already seen through Chu Yu’s intentions.

"It’s simple, I know you want revenge and the reason you came to the Sky Wings Arena is likely for the title of Fighting King. I can help you, in the upcoming competition schedule, to get the best appearance sequence and even arrange for you to confront Liu Qingqing to redress previous grievances. However, you must also agree to one condition: after the designated matches are over, you can only compete in No. 9 Arena," Chu Yu stated her intention straightforwardly.

In the Sky Wings Arena, there’s an unwritten rule.

Besides the monthly and annual competitions, players can choose a fixed competition zone as the venue for their matches.

Yun Sheng pondered; if she wasn’t mistaken, Zone 9 had the lowest popularity. Even Zone 7 had more viewers than Zone 9.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling exchanged a glance, caution evident in their eyes.

The two planned to go back first, inquire about Chu Yu’s character and the affairs of the Sky Wings Arena, and then make a decision.

"We need to discuss today’s matter and make a decision after that," Yun Sheng did not agree hastily, even though she knew that Chu Yu’s offer was the best choice available.

"You can think it over and give me a reply before the next match," Chu Yu nodded and bid farewell as Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling left the arena.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, due to this interlude, returned to the inn when the moon was already bright.

Gu Feng and Qi had been waiting there for a while.

"Lingling, what happened to you?" As soon as Gu Feng saw Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, he stepped forward quickly, noticing that Donghuang Lingling looked upset.

Anxiously, he impulsively grabbed Donghuang Lingling’s hand.

Donghuang Lingling whimpered and shook off Gu Feng’s hand, her face blushing red, stomped her foot, and hid in the room.

Yun Sheng and Qi both looked helpless.

Yun Sheng then relayed the events of the day to Gu Feng and Qi.

Upon hearing that Donghuang Lingling was severely injured by Liu Qingqing, Gu Feng jumped up, his fists waving: "That person dared to hurt Lingling, I’ll definitely make her pay."

"Make her pay? How will you do that, use your Bright Celestial Sphere against her?" Yun Sheng held her forehead, and Qi shook his head in disapproval.

They both understood Gu Feng’s deep feelings for Donghuang Lingling, but...
