CHAPTER 1169: CHAPTER 1169: WHO IS YAN JIN?

Jing Yan wanted to raise the stakes to vent the anger growing in his heart.

Renting a shop was supposed to be a simple, normal matter. Paying the rental fee and using the shops in the trading zone complied with the rules of the Void Divine Ship. Now, this Shen Jun actually wanted to disrupt this and even set up an arena bet.

No matter how you look at it, the arena bet was unfair to Jing Yan. Yet, at present, Jing Yan was powerless to change this injustice. He couldn’t just attack Shen Jun at the management office out of anger. If he killed Shen Jun here, one thing is for sure—he would definitely not leave the Void Divine Ship safely.

Thus, the only option was to vent some anger by raising the stakes and make Shen Jun bleed a little.

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s proposal to increase the bet by ten billion Divine Crystals, Shen Jun’s expression slightly changed.

Just now, he was a bit worried that this Yan Jin might refuse the arena bet out of fear. Unexpectedly, not only did Yan Jin agree to the duel, but he also wanted to increase the bet by ten billion Divine Crystals.

Shen Jun looked at Jing Yan, seemingly trying to see through Jing Yan’s thoughts, wanting to understand what Jing Yan was thinking.

Was he confident or just bluffing!

However, after a breath, Shen Jun reluctantly withdrew his gaze, having gained nothing. From Jing Yan’s expression, he didn’t obtain any valuable clues.

Yet, the doubts that arose in his heart lingered only for a moment. Shen Jun did not believe he would lose this arena bet.

How could a martial artist of the High-level True God Realm from a Low-level Divine Domain compare with a Nine-star True God from the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain?

Shen Jun decided to personally step onto the arena and battle Yan Jin.

As for Yan Jin’s proposal to add ten billion to the bet, how could he refuse such a deal? If this person wanted to give him ten billion Level-one Divine Crystals for nothing, wouldn’t it be foolish not to accept?

"Alright, it’s settled then!" Shen Jun quickly smiled and agreed.

"Yan Jin Alchemist, shall we go to the Arena Zone now to confirm the time for the arena battle?" Shen Jun continued.

"Very well!" Jing Yan responded.

Jing Yan and Shen Jun left the management office, exited the trading zone, and headed to the mid-level Arena Zone of the Void Divine Ship. Gui Ben naturally followed them.

During the exchange between Jing Yan and Shen Jun, he couldn’t get a word in, so he remained silent throughout the process.

In the Arena Zone, the process of applying for an arena battle was completed quickly. The battle was scheduled for five days later.

After confirming the time, Jing Yan left the arena and returned to his residence with Gui Ben.

Arena Zone, Administrator’s Residence.

"Brother Shen, what’s going on? You’re personally stepping into the arena?" The Arena Zone Administrator spoke curiously to Shen Jun in the room.

"Hmm, it’s a serious matter; this time, I have to take action personally." Shen Jun nodded with a smile.

"Who is this person named Yan Jin?" The Arena Zone Administrator had no impression of Jing Yan.

"He only rose from the bottom level to the middle level of the Divine Ship two days ago. Yeah, he’s a Divine Pill Master with outstanding alchemy abilities. However, he’s not very obedient," Shen Jun said, shaking his head at the end.

"Divine Pill Master?"

"Is this person’s Martial Arts Cultivation not low?" The Arena Zone Administrator shifted his gaze, already roughly guessing why Shen Jun wanted to battle this man named Yan Jin.

"He should be at the Nine Stars True God Realm! Even Kui Ya, whom you know, suffered at his hands. That’s precisely why I plan to take action myself; I wouldn’t be assured if someone else did it." Shen Jun’s expression showed a hint of disdain.

"Haha! With Brother Shen taking action personally, those ten billion Divine Crystals will be easy to obtain!" The Arena Zone Administrator laughed heartily.

The stakes from both Jing Yan and Shen Jun had already been handed over to the temporary custody of the arena. After the duel concludes, the stakes will be given to the winner, as per the arena’s rules. Shen Jun must also abide by these rules.

Jing Yan’s residence.

"Senior Yan Jin, that Shen Jun’s strength is likely to be very strong, you..." Gui Ben looked worried.

While at the management office in the trading zone, Gui Ben was worried but hadn’t had the opportunity to speak with Jing Yan. He feared Jing Yan would lose to Shen Jun. If the bet were lost in the arena battle, the ten billion Divine Crystals would be wasted.

"Hmm, that person’s Martial Arts Cultivation should be at the Peak Level of the Nine Stars True God. Additionally, as a Nine-star True God Warrior from the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain, his combat power is certainly very strong," Jing Yan said slowly.

"If he’s so strong, why did you agree to the arena battle and even deliberately raise the bet by ten billion Divine Crystals, Senior Yan Jin?" Gui Ben couldn’t understand Jing Yan’s actions at all.

Gui Ben roughly knew that Senior Yan Jin was a strong Nine Stars True God Realm cultivator. In the White Sand Divine Domain, Senior Yan Jin was a force to be reckoned with. However, the White Sand Divine Domain, after all, was a Low-level Divine Domain. The top Nine Stars True Gods in the White Sand Divine Domain were probably only at the Intermediate Level among the Emperor Extreme Divine Domain’s Nine Stars True Gods.

Senior Yan Jin increasing the bet was like handing ten billion Divine Crystals over to someone for nothing.

"Hehe, although Shen Jun’s strength is strong, it’s not so simple for him to defeat me," Jing Yan smiled, waving his hand. "Alright, you don’t need to worry about me. Let’s wait patiently here for five days; everything will be clear then."

Seeing Senior Yan Jin say so, Gui Ben couldn’t say anything more. Moreover, the arena battle had already been applied for, and the stakes were handed over to the arena’s custody. Even if one regretted it now, it was too late.

Arena Zone Hall!

"Hmm?"

"Look, there’s a new arena battle information released."

"Shen Jun against Yan Jin?"

"Shen Jun... could it be Shen Jun, the administrator of the trading zone?"

"Yes! It must be! I just saw Master Shen Jun, wondering why he came to the Arena Zone. Good heavens, he’s going to duel a martial artist named Yan Jin!"

On the huge crystal screen in the Arena Zone hall, a piece of new information appeared, immediately causing a commotion in the entire hall.

"Who is this Yan Jin?"

"Never heard of it!"

"Quickly find out, who on earth dares to go to the arena with Master Shen Jun?"

A large number of martial artists suddenly paid attention to Jing Yan.

And the information about Yan Jin’s identity was quickly uncovered.

"This person is a Divine Pill Master who just rose from the bottom to the mid-level of the Void Divine Ship," someone with insider information shared this detail amidst the crowd.
