Monarch Of Time

Chapter 38 - 38 Gathering in the arena

After an hour of walking, Shun Long had arrived in front of a huge arena.

The line that the crowd had formed in front of the arena was so long that it took more than 30 minutes until Shun Long finally entered.

When Shun Long entered and found a seat to spectate the incoming match, he actually noticed a pair of familiar faces staring at him from a few seats away from him.

This pair was Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu.

When Xiao Shitou noticed Shun Long who had just seated himself to spectate the match, he walked over at his side as he said

ʼʼHAHA, Shun Long, what a small world we live in.ʼʼ

Then Xiao Shitou lowered his voice as he whispered to Shun Long

ʼʼI have not forgotten the humiliation from our fight in the ʼImperial Palaceʼ, and I will definitely make sure to pay you back now that Iʼve advanced into rank 7.ʼʼ

Shun Long looked at Xiao Shitou mockingly and didnʼt even bother lowering his voice as he said

ʼʼItʼs fine, if you wonʼt learn your lesson, Iʼll make sure to slap you harder this time.ʼʼ

When Xiao Shitou heard Shun Longʼs words, a humiliating memory resurfaced as his eyes brimmed with anger.

Just then Lin Wu stepped forward as she said in a loud voice, almost as if she wanted everyone here to hear her

ʼʼShun Long, letʼs see how much longer you can act arrogant for. Brother Shitouʼs elder brother is senior brother Xiao Juyan and he is ranked 100th on the arena rankings. Brother Shitou is no longer a person that someone like you can offend.ʼʼ

People were startled to find that this young man was actually Xiao Juyanʼs younger brother.

Xiao Shitouʼs spirits were lifted when he saw everyone around him looking towards them in shock and with his renewed confidence he said

ʼʼShun Long, if you kneel in front of me now and ask me to spare you, I may put a good word for you in front of my elder brother later. But if you refuse.. hmph, donʼt think that the second young master of the Lu family can protect you forever.ʼʼ

ʼʼHaha, you must think that your elder brother is really powerful huh?ʼʼ

When Xiao Shitou turned his head, he saw Lu Wen and fatty Fu, along with another young man with a burly build and bald head standing behind them.

The one who had spoken just now was obviously fatty Fu. As they all looked at Xiao Shitou and Lin Wu, the burly man next to fatty Fu spoke up as he asked Xiao Shitou in a disdainful tone

ʼʼDo you think that your brother is invincible in the arena? He is barely scraping at the 100th rankʼʼ

Xiao Shitou was enraged at this man who dared to belittle his brother and he asked in a furious voice

ʼʼWho do you think you are to dare talk about my elder brother like that?ʼʼ

Just then, some of the spectators had started whispering between each other

ʼʼHey, isnʼt that Fu Peizhi?ʼʼ

ʼʼWhat? The one who is ranked 17th in the arena rankings?ʼʼ

ʼʼYes, I saw him when he challenged the 15th person on the rankings, Li Shuchun, one month ago.ʼʼ

Even his brother wasnʼt a match for Fu Peizhi, let alone he who was just at the early rank 7 in qi condensation.

ʼʼWhy is Fu Peizhi here to watch a match that is going to determine the top 100?ʼʼ

ʼʼAh, you donʼt know this? I heard from my cousin who works at the ʼAdministration Buildingʼsʼ mission section, that Fu Peizhi and Lei Pong are good friends.ʼʼ

Lu Wenʼs group ignored the conversations around them as they introduced Fu Peizhi to Shun Long.

ʼʼBrother Shun, this is my cousin Fu Peizhi, and he is at the top20 in the arena rankings.ʼʼ

ʼʼGreetings brother Fuʼʼ Shun Long greeted Fu Peizhi, but Fu Peizhi didnʼt even nod his head in response, not bothering to really talk to Shun Long as he sat on his seat with his eyes closed.

Let alone Shun Long, even fatty Fu and Lu Wen frowned at Fu Peizhiʼs behavior but Shun Long waved his hand, indicating that he didnʼt really care as they instead started chatting between the 3 of them.

Fu Peizhi didnʼt understand why his cousin would associate with this weak country bumpkin who came from the ʼMortal worldʼ, but he didnʼt spare Shun Long a second look as he waited for the match in the arena to start.

Shun Long was the first to speak

ʼʼBrothers, why are there so many people here for a match that is just going to determine the 100th spot in the arena rankings?ʼʼ

Shun Long had already heard this from the discussions around him, but he couldnʼt wrap his head as to why there were so many people gathered to spectate this match

Fatty Fu then sighed as he said

ʼʼIn the future, you must definitely enter the top100 ranks of the arena, if you ever want to become an inner disciple.ʼʼ
