CHAPTER 621: CHAPTER 113: DARK HORSE OR HOT FAVORITE

"We will participate in the monthly competition, and it’s the next one. Sister Chu Yu, you just need to arrange it for us," Yun Sheng stated.

Those who knew Yun Sheng would think she was highly gifted.

But only those who truly understood her knew that her break through to the current level, be it in medical skill or magic, was all due to her own efforts.

Efforts may not always lead to gains, but without efforts, everything is just empty talk.

This belief is the only principle she adheres to when dealing with people, in both her lives.

Having decided to eliminate Liu Qingqing and establish a foothold in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, she would spare no expense.

There are less than twenty days left until the end of this month, which means Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling only have these short twenty days left.

"Alright, in the remaining twenty days, aside from the solo matches, I will help you arrange as many duo matches as possible," seemingly inspired by their unspoken understanding, Chu Yu nodded in agreement.

"I’ll go arrange the matches for you now. Welcome to Zone 9," Chu Yu was quite fond of these two younger sisters.

She had a hunch that whether she could become the future leader of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone might well depend on the "Flame Emperor" duo.

Soon, the "Flame Emperor" duo faced their first duo match.

This was their first battle since forming a team, particularly crucial for their success or failure. According to Chu Yu, this was the time to make a name for themselves.

Chu Yu was thoroughly prepared. Before the match, she specifically gathered information for Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling. And not only that, she also gifted them with two sets of mage robes as a welcome present.

Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling both had Elf Clan magic robes.

But since they needed to disguise their identities for now, naturally, they couldn’t wear the elf magic robes.

Chu Yu’s gifts were generous—the mage robes were clearly of high quality, worth no less than five hundred gold coins. It’s a wonder where such a young referee got so much money from.

The two mage robes, one red and one blue.

Donghuang Lingling liked red, so Yun Sheng let her have the red one and chose the blue one for herself.

After changing into the mage robes, they waited for the official start of the match.

"Yun Sheng, I’m a bit nervous. If we run into an opponent like Liu Qingqing again, do we stick to our previous tactics?" Donghuang Lingling expressed her nervousness after leaving the inn.

"Lingling, Liu Qingqing was just a whetstone for us in the arena. Our ultimate goal is the annual competition, even the title of Fighting King. Therefore, we have to conserve our trump cards as much as possible. Remember our earlier discussion: I support, you attack. If we catch them off guard, there will be no problem," Yun Sheng reassured, noticing that Donghuang Lingling hadn’t completely moved on from their last match.

"Moreover, there aren’t that many Liu Qingqings around. Let’s first see who our opponents are in the first match," Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling waited in the duo battle competitors’ rest area.

The number of competitors in the duo matches was obviously much less than in the solo ones.

The rest area felt much more spacious, with probably around a hundred duo teams visible.

The schedule for the first round of the duo match was already released.

The "Flame Emperor" duo was set to fight a brother and sister in the seventh match.

According to Chu Yu’s information, their opponents were a pair of Dragon and Phoenix twins, Liu Hong and Liu Qing.

Both were martial artists, at the Martial Arts Sect Level, and skilled in leg techniques.

It wasn’t until the moment before the match started that Yun Sheng saw her opponents.

To her surprise, they were two martial artists who looked almost identical, a man and a woman in their early twenties named Liu Hong and Liu Qing, a pair of Dragon and Phoenix twins.

Compared to the few people poisoned by Feng Du, these siblings looked much more plain.

Like most participants in the Arena, they were there to make a living.

Their past performances in competitions were decent, with five wins and five losses this month, ranking them as average competitors.

But their greatest advantage was their twin bond; as Dragon and Phoenix twins, they had excellent rapport. Once they united in combat, they could unleash a power comparable to that of a Martial Saint.

Hence, upon knowing their opponents, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had already agreed that they absolutely must prevent the siblings from using their combined combat skills.

After reviewing the information, a pair of male and female martial artists approached them.

"Are you the ’Flame Emperor’? Truly as the rumors say, both wearing Yaksha masks. Could it be that you are both ugly?" Liu Hong, with her straightforward personality, couldn’t help but ask upon seeing the masks on their faces.

"Sister, how can you ask like that," the brother named Liu Qing quickly apologized.

"I’m just speaking my mind, why scold me? After all, am I the older sister or are you?" Liu Hong was displeased.

Liu Qing felt a headache coming on and could only hurry to change the subject, "The two of you had defeated Feng Da and Liu Qingqing previously, right? That’s impressive. Actually, we siblings have also suffered at their hands before."

As it turned out, both siblings had been defeated by these individuals in single matches.

They both showed a face of resentment when it came to Feng Da’s poison.

Feng Da was nothing more than a lowly thug, and there were indeed many in the competition area who had suffered at his hands.

Thus, after learning that the ’Flame Emperor’ had each taught Feng Da and Liu Qingqing a lesson, Liu Qing had a good impression of them.

"Defeating Feng Da is one thing, but defeating us is another. We can be friends in private, but once we’re on the arena stage, we won’t be merciful. Though our individual match records are not the best, we’re quite experienced in the team matches. Don’t cry if you lose," Liu Hong said with a booming voice.

Her tone was that of a seasoned veteran.

Both "Yan" and "Huang" found this rather amusing.

"Sis, it’s settled, we’ve exchanged greetings; let’s go prepare for the match," Liu Qing grabbed Liu Hong, pulling her away.

"They are quite an interesting pair of siblings," Donghuang Lingling was relieved by the diversion created by Liu Hong and Liu Qing.

When the time came, "Yan" and "Huang" left the rest area and walked onto the arena stage.

Having previously experienced a match, both ’Yan’ and ’Huang’ were becoming accustomed to the atmosphere of the Arena.

But this time was different.

As soon as they entered the open-air circular competition zone,

they heard a burst of lively cheering, a stark contrast to the quietness of their earlier individual matches.

"Why are there so many people?"

They were both somewhat incredulous.

Looking around, they quickly realized that, although it was still in No. 9 Sun District, there were many more people watching this match, at least a hundred.

They remembered that even when facing Liu Qingqing last time, there weren’t that many spectators.

"Because the two of you are now seen as dark horses. Many heard about Feng Da and Liu Qingqing being defeated and have come to see for themselves what kind of people you are," Chu Yu explained to help.
