Chapter 109: 109: Heavyweight Opponent!

Soon after he assumed his seat, nobody would dare to slander him anymore. The high level experts and the wealthy merchants who seated in the VIP area were now considering him as someone who couldn’t be sneezed at. Especially after he revealed his current Cultivation Stage. They even secretly wage a huge amount of bets for him to win the next bout.

"Tonight’s fighting order is quite interesting, Young Lord." Jie Rong said.

"Please elaborate, Senior. I didn’t follow the development of the tournament for the past week."

"En. I could see that clearly." Jie Rong observed the young man’s aura from head to toe.

"To put it shortly, you must win against two opponents to secure the right to advance to the Final Round. There are 60 opponents left in the Elimination Round. Which mean, there are only 15 available slots left. If you could secure three wins in a row, you could sit comfortably and advance to the Final Round for free."

"En." Ash nodded. "In a sense, the strong would reign, and the weak shall perish in the first fight. What a monopolistic scheme. That’s explain why the weak always oppressed. No room to grow at all."

"Indeed, Young Lord. As cruel as it sounds, but this is how things went. In fact, the previous Martial Tournament was even more gruesome. Due to the raising power of each Martial Sect, the Mayor become gave us some leniency to minimize unwanted conflict between Martial Sects."

"Be as it may, I just need to beat some sense to those stubborn bastards. If they think powerful background would save them from their demise, I will show them how wrong they are."

"That’s what I’m talking about, Young Lord!" Feng Bo suddenly chimed beside him. "Though you don’t have any notable family background, you still have us, we will support you no matter the cost!"

"Oh, shut up you sly fox." Jie Rong grumbled. "I know what you’re thinking, Master Feng Bo. The more you support him, the more fame and you’ll gain from his uprising. Tsk, tsk, tsk." Jie Rong shook his head.

Feng Bo smiled wryly. It’s already a public secret that Feng Bo had become Ash’ promotor in this tournament. He had spent a lot of money to support Ash, doing counter intelligence in the background and what not.

"Eh, don’t say that... Senior Jie Rong, I only wanted to help him to ensure victory after victory. And I couldn’t find any better person to do the biddings to save our city from a total destruction. You know very well how corrupt our government are."

"There, there..." Ash calmed both of them by gently patting their shoulders. "I don’t mind about the side bets that you guys did behind me. But of course, if I win this tournament...."

"Hahaha!" Feng Bo laughed joyously. "Don’t worry about that. I understand clearly. I will compensate you handsomely."

"If you understand that much, then I will have no problem with you." Ash added. However, deep in his mind, Ash had thought one thousands methods to screw Feng Bo should he betray him. ’Try something funny, and I will ruin your whole business!’

Before long, the arena announcer climbed to the main arena. Subsequently, another thirty smaller arenas emerged from the ground.

"It’s timeeee!" He roared. His voice was buffed by the sound array and broadcasted throughout the Colosseum. "Tonight’s will be the night of fighting macabre! No rules! Only the strong shall prevail! Only fifteen warriors allowed to advance to Final Round!"

"Without further ado, let the fight, begin!"

Afterward, the ring announcer read the fighting order, who fights against who, and so on. In the end, Ash was summoned into the 30th Arena. Granted, all attention projected toward his arena when he was up against a literal giant!

Standing at four meters tall, Ash’ tonight’s opponent was beyond what he expected. He couldn’t even believe that a literal giant race existed in this realm. The giant wore black and red pirate attire. He immediately aware that his actual opponent must have been replaced by this buffoon!"

Doubts began soon linger in the air as the giant man took a step forward.

"Bwahaha! So scrawny! You better scram, and back to your nanny’s tits! I have no time to entertain a little shrimp like you!"

"Geez, your breath is as stinky as rotten meat!" Ash faned the front of his nose with a hand.

"Listen, shrimp. If you tell me where I could find a man who use red feathers as his weapon, I will spare your life."

"What if I refused?"

"Hmph! Then, this Yinping will smash you!"

Without any warning, the giant man summoned a humongous hammer out of his Spatial Ring! In the next moment, he brought the hammer’s head down to the ground. Luckily, the whole Colosseum was protected by a complex Fortification Array. The giant’s explosive impact wouldn’t put a scratch on the arena.

But, the slight tremor was felt all the way to the crowd. Ash was also caught off guard. He didn’t expect that giant possessed such high agility despite his size. If he didn’t dodge at the last second, he would have turned in meat paste!

"Hehehe! What’s the matter, little shrimp? We are just starting!"

Ash looked down, and was so furious as the outer garment of his hanfu robe was completely torn apart!

"You pig!" Ash pointed two fingers at the giant. "This robe was made by my friend with literal blood and tears!"

"What of it? It’s just a robe, you can get a new one. Perhaps, you are too poor to afford a new one? Hah!"

"Irredeemable!"

That humongous hammer in Yinping’s hands was an Epic Rank Weapon that could amplify one’s strength by thousands of times. If Ash had not equipped Nightflame, then this hammer’s residual energy alone would have already pierced his aura shield and exploded his heart instead!

However, Ash only felt an miniscule amount of sharp strength vigorously transmitted through his body. Instead of holding the momentum, Ash deliberately let the shockwave send him flying across the arena. He tumbled backwards for several dozen feet before using his own strength to hold himself down, but the shockwave alone was able to crush his lungs.

Ash coughed a mouthful of blood, he felt his chest was burning from inside out. However, his innate Regeneration ability healed the minor wound very soon.

Yinping was perplexed. He never saw anybody who could withstand his blow. Though it was not a direct hit, anybody who was below his Cultivation Stage would have been killed!

Only then, Yinping realized that his opponent was also a Third Stage Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator!"

"Hmph! You lucky little bastard. Next time, I won’t miss it!"

"Try me, bitch!"

Ash could not help but to adnit that even though Yinping’s technique lacked finesse and beauty, his raw strength was utterly dreadful! Even a Fifth Stage Qi Condensation Realm Cultivator would’ve died instantly!"

However, Ash didn’t lose his cool just yet. He studied the weapon keenly. "That hammer was so fast! The secret must lie in its flexible handle; the moment he stopped swinging midway, the hammer accelerated even faster!"

Likewise, Yinping was also an experienced fighter. The Fleet Admiral of Red Cloud Pirate would not choose him to enter the tournament for granted. Yinping had the ability to corner his opponent to the brink of death to force them to use their ultimate move.

"That peculiar sword is flooded with Pure Yang Qi, and with that irresistible strength, that sword is able to inspire fear into my hammer. This brat is not simple! I need to provoke him first!"

Yinping was grinning like a demon. And then he said, "Little Shrimp, I told you that I already saw through your sword! Your sword’s skill is fairly weak against my Dao of Steel! As long as I concentrate my Qi into a shield shape, you will never be able to pierce through my vibrating aura shield! What a total failure, hahaha!"

Ash backed off momentarily. Thinking deeply. "If I use Nightflame to its full extent, he will very likely recognize my Qi! I can’t use Nightflame. This fight will require laser precision!"

With that in mind, Ash opted to summon Azure Finch instead and stored Nightflame which he would use later in an emergency.

"Hmph! Your thick aura shield will not stand a chance against my speed and I will expose your weakness!"

"Expose my weakness?" Yin Ping smiled wide. "That little toothpick might be somewhat useful to deal with average aura, but against my Dao of Steel, it was pointless!"

The total years that he had spent in the closed training was grueling. Yinping had accumulated for nearly hundred years and repeatedly tempered his bone and muscles into the ’Chaotic Shield Meridians.

’How could someone as insignificant as Xiao Hûo break my Chaotic Shield Meridians?!’

"Hmph! This is your last chance, little shrimp! Resign yourself to fate. Today, I will end your life!"

Yinping howled like a depraved beast. The hammer in his hand began to emit a giant wall. With a loud explosion, the stone tiles below Yinping’s feet began to crack apart!
