Monarch Of Time

Chapter 93 - 93 Beating Guan Hong

Both Guan Hong and Shun Long were now looking at the name at the top of the list in the arena rankings. When the woman saw them she started explaining

ʼʼThat person is the strongest out of all the outer disciples, senior brother Wen Zihao. It is said that senior brother Wen is not only extremely talented, but he is also said to possess some kind of special physique that is unbeatable within the same level of cultivation.ʼʼ

Guan Hong nodded his head and it seemed that he already knew about this person.

Shun Longʼs gaze moved downwards as he observed the other names as well. The person ranked second was named Kang Sun and although his wins and losses werenʼt as exaggerated as Wen Zihaoʼs, he still had 110 wins and just 33 losses.

Shun Long kept observing the names in the rankings until he caught sight of a familiar name near the bottom of the list

ʼRank 93

Name: Xiao Juyan

Wins: 36 Losses: 20ʼ

The woman was also staring at the rankings as she said

ʼʼBelonging to the top 100 is a form of honor for every outer sect disciple, and only the people ranked 101-200 are allowed to challenge them.

Putting the top 100 aside, even entering the top 1000 is exceedingly difficult.

To be in the top 1000 among 200.000 disciples, Iʼm sure you can guess how difficult that is.ʼʼ

As the woman finished speaking, Guan Hong looked at Shun Long provocatively as he puffed out his c.h.e.s.t, before the woman continued explaining

ʼʼAfter entering the top 1000, one can issue an official challenge to another person directly through the sect identifying jades, even if the other person isnʼt registered in the arena yet, just like senior brother Guan Hong did today. Cultivators at the top 1000 ranks and above, will also receive spirit stones from the sect every month depending on their rank.

I donʼt know why senior brother Guan challenged you but I suggest that you forfeit the match. Anyway, in your case, since senior brother Guan is higher ranked than you, even after forfeiting you wonʼt drop in rank. Although you canʼt cripple or kill others in the arena, accidents have happened in the past as well.ʼʼ

Shun Long shook his head after hearing the womanʼs words, and having understood the rules he turned to look at Guan Hong before saying

ʼʼLetʼs go thenʼʼ

Guan Hong was excited seeing that Shun Long didnʼt choose to forfeit from the challenge and he followed him inside the arena.

Guan Hong and Shun Long both had to wait as there was already a battle going on inside.

10 minutes later, as soon as the previous battle finished Guan Hong jumped at the center of the stage.

ʼʼItʼs senior brother Guan Hong.ʼʼ

ʼʼSenior brother Guan? Who is that?ʼʼ

ʼʼItʼs senior brother Guan who got the second place in the ʼouter sect examinationʼ. 6 days ago, he even beat senior brother Yu He and entered the top 1000 in the arena rankings.ʼʼ

ʼʼThe top 1000? Then, is his opponent today also in the top 1000?ʼʼ

ʼʼI donʼt know, I havenʼt seen this person before.ʼʼ

After seeing Shun Long, none of the disciples in the crowd recognized him as they watched him enter the arena.

Shun Long who had just advanced to the middle rank 3 in earth grade was also excited to test out his new strength.

Guan Hong then, took out a saber from his spatial ring, and as he held it in front of his c.h.e.s.t he said in a voice that oozed confidence

ʼʼI had already warned you that the day would come when I would challenge you in the arena, since you stole my first place in the ʼouter sect examʼ. Iʼm sure that you accepted todayʼs challenge thinking that you have a chance against me, but... itʼs time to show you the difference between us.ʼʼ

Shun Long wasnʼt surprised at all by this and after looking at Guan Hong in the eyes as he finally spoke

ʼʼYou have been boasting since the first moment I saw you. You even challenged me in an arena fight after breaking through to rank 4 in earth grade because you felt that I stole your spotlight in the ʼouter sect examʼ and you are certain that this is your chance to take it back right?ʼʼ

After taking a breath Shun Long continued

ʼʼBut what you donʼt seem to understand is that from the start I didnʼt even care about you. I have to admit that if this was 2 months ago, then you would definitely be a troublesome foe to deal with but now?ʼʼ

As Shun Long finished speaking, he unleashed his aura of a middle rank 3 earth grade cultivator that made Guan Hong suddenly laugh

ʼʼJust a middle rank 3 earth grade disciple and you dare to stand in front of me? Brat, I donʼt know what trick you used to get first place in the sect exam but you have no chance against me.ʼʼ

Holding his saber with his right hand, Guan Hong rushed towards Shun Long as he sent slash after slash at him.

Shun Longʼs eyes turned golden as he dodged left and right, avoiding Guan Hongʼs slashes by a hairʼs breadth. Shun Long didnʼt even activate his ʼMonarchʼs Domainʼ as he tested his golden eyes. Seeing in the future and knowing every single attack that your opponent would do was a massive advantage.

2 minutes later the crowd had started booing as they said

ʼʼWhy are you only dodging? Are you even a man?ʼʼ

ʼʼFight! Fight senior brother Guan fairly!ʼʼ

However, there were others within the crowd that argued with these people as they said

ʼʼFairly? Is dodging not a part of fighting?ʼʼ

ʼʼThatʼs right idiot. Senior sister Tong is also an expert at dodging! Are you implying that senior sister isnʼt fighting fairly in the arena?ʼʼ

As the arguments were getting more heated in the arena, Guan Hong had started to lose his patience when he sent a wide slash towards Shun Longʼs face.

Shun Longʼs golden eyes shone brightly with a faint of blue light inside them as he then tightly clenched his right fist and took a step back.

It was simply one step and yet Guan Hongʼs slash completely missed its target.

Shun Long gathered his physical strength in his right fist, as he then sent a full-powered punch at Guan Hongʼs ribs, that were completely undefended when he had lost his balance after his wide saber slash.

Crack

A cracking sound was heard from Guan Hongʼs ribs as he was sent flying for a dozen meters into the air, before he fell on the ground sideways, his right hand still clutching his saber.

Shun Long looked at him with apathetic eyes, not feeling even the slightest sense of pity for his plight as he asked

ʼʼGive up yet?ʼʼ

Shun Longʼs golden eyes shone as he saw Guan Hongʼs left hand grabbing a concealed dagger from his robes and throwing it right at his face.

Without giving him a chance, Shun Long sent a kick at Guan Hongʼs body who was then sent flying once more as it crashed in the arena walls.

Guan Hong spat out blood from the impact as his eyes bulged out before he lost consciousness.

As soon as Guan Hongʼs body fell to the ground, Shun Long felt that his sect jade was warming up as 3 numbers appeared on it

ʼ689ʼ

The crowd was completely shocked as everyone had now fallen silent.

An expert at the top 1000 ranks in the arena had been beaten senseless and toyed around as if he was a kid before falling unconscious.

ʼʼBrother! He is the one!ʼʼ
