Robbed?
Xu Yang's eyes widened—this could be robbed?
Who dares to snatch a spot in the Life and Death Martial Arena?
"Please come in!" Xu Yang said, his mind full of confusion.
A curvy figure pushed open the door and entered, still clad in a vibrant red dress, captivating and unforgettable.
Su Yun!
Xu Yang's pupils contracted slightly.
Over the past few days, Xu Yang had learned a thing or two about Su Yun.
This woman was hailed as Beixuan's greatest beauty; every move she made set blood racing, and her maturity left countless men desperate to pick her,
But none had ever succeeded!
Even Zheng Ming had coveted her, and in the end accomplished nothing.
Xu Yang couldn't see through her strength, but her background was most certainly substantial!
Xu Yang instantly dismissed all distracting thoughts, his heart as still as water.
"Mr. Su, what on earth is going on?"
Su Yun wore a bitter smile: "The arena had already arranged an opponent for you, Mr. Shura, but suddenly someone wants to take their place!"
Someone actually wants to rush towards death?
No—it must be that the challenger has enormous confidence, planning to use this battle to make a name for themselves.
"What's the challenger's cultivation?"
"Newly attained Innate!"
At those words, Xu Yang let out a laugh: "Our cultivation is equal. Whoever comes doesn't matter to me."
But when he saw Su Yun hesitate, words unsaid, his heart stirred.
"Who is the challenger, then?"
The final match of the Hell Life and Death Duel—anyone who could oust the original candidate from the arena likely has an extraordinary background.
"The sixth prince of the royal residence—Zheng Ming!"
"Who?"
Xu Yang's body jolted, and he blurted out instinctively: "Zheng Ming?"
"That's right." Su Yun looked at Xu Yang in surprise.
Zheng Ming!
He's coming to fight in the Life and Death Martial Arena?
A flash of astonishment raced through Xu Yang's eyes; excitement soon flushed his entire face.
An enormous opportunity!
Zheng Ming, you've walked right into my trap.
He'd longed to kill Zheng Ming, but lacked the chance.
Never expected such an opportunity would land before him like this!
Xu Yang drew a deep breath, realizing he'd lost his composure, hastily regaining his calm and said lightly: "I didn't expect the royal residence's sixth prince would also join the duel. It truly is surprising."
"Mr. Su, the Life and Death Martial Arena won't be partial because of his status, will it?"
Xu Yang stared hard at Su Yun. This duel was the best chance to kill Zheng Ming!
Su Yun giggled, "Mr. Shura, you underestimate my Life and Death Martial Arena far too much."
Hearing that, Xu Yang could finally relax. He licked his lips and asked curiously, "Why is he joining the duel?"
Su Yun replied: "These past few days, Zheng Ming has been watching matches at the arena, losing quite a lot."
"Now that he has attained Innate cultivation and his strength has improved, it's not strange that he wants to fight."
"Even if he can't match you, Mr. Shura, with his status—who would really dare kill him?"
I would!
Xu Yang clenched his fist, secretly sneering in his heart.
Others may not dare—but I do!
From the moment he learned the truth, Xu Yang had given up all hope on the royal residence. Now with Zheng Ming delivering himself, why spare him even for a new year's celebration?
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Shura. Besides this news, I wanted to ask another favor!" Su Yun's expression grew serious.
Xu Yang asked curiously: "Please speak plainly, Mr. Su!"
Su Yun declared solemnly: "I want to ask Mr. Shura, no matter what, to win this last Life and Death Duel!"
Zheng Ming is a prince. If he dies, it'll naturally stir up huge trouble.
But the arena's background isn't easy to mess with either!
The key point is: Zheng Ming asked for this duel himself. Life and death is decided in the arena!
If he's killed right here, even if King Beixuan comes personally, the arena will still have reason on its side!
With Zheng Ming as opponent, almost nobody in Beixuan City thinks Xu Yang can win—including Su Yun herself.
So, if Xu Yang loses, the arena's profits will drop to the lowest point.
But if Xu Yang wins, the earnings might reach astronomical figures!
That figure is enough for her to make history and rise further in the arena's power structure!
Xu Yang must win!
Su Yun took a deep breath and said, "Whatever help Mr. Shura needs, as long as the arena has it, I'll provide anything."
Xu Yang chuckled in surprise.
He'd expected something else; turns out it was just this.
He could easily guess Su Yun's thinking.
With or without her, there was no way he would lose this match.
But since such an advantageous offer was made, he wouldn't let it go to waste.
Resources—more is better, always.
"Cultivation resources—and my 'Wind in the Forest' Body Technique manual!" Xu Yang answered coolly.
Su Yun nodded: "Rest assured, Mr. Shura, I'll have it delivered soon."
After finishing, she glanced deeply at Xu Yang: "If that's all, I'll take my leave."
"Oh, the final duel will be held in Beixuan City's central plaza!" Su Yun added as she turned to leave.
Because the crowd will be massive.
This is a monumental event!
The central plaza is vast enough to hold tens of thousands of people, and will give the arena unprecedented influence and profits.
Xu Yang had no opinion—any location was fine!
Stepping out of the room, Su Yun let out a sigh.
She had done all she could.
Three days... The bottleneck isn't resources—it's time.
In such a short span, no one can break through to Innate!
But Zheng Ming, with Innate cultivation and rich resources, has a deep foundation and strength beyond question.
Even she herself didn't hold much hope.
"Now, all that's left is to believe in Shura, hope he can work a miracle."
Su Yun's face was tinged with bitterness; in truth, there was something she hadn't told Xu Yang inside that room.
That was the real reason she wanted Xu Yang to win this match.
