SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS
Chapter 76 - 76: Golden Root [Bonus Chapter]

"Boom…"

After crushing the fiery fist, the aura mace rushed forward and hit Mika, who instantly fell to the ground.

"Fat King won the dual, advancing to the next round." After announcing the result, Master Chen called the next pair of opponents.

As the fights went on, Kent felt bored and walked outside the arena to feed the Fire Kirin. Also, he can't store Fire Kirin inside the bracelet for more than one hour.

On the other side, elder Sinara and Zumi, began getting impatient while watching the weak childish spells, play on the arena grounds.

Just as Kent came out, Fatty Ben stopped what he was doing and hurriedly came out of the stall to greet Kent. The disciples who came to bet on the running matches stood in wait, while Fatty happily ran towards Kent.

"Young master Kent, please stop." Fatty ran behind Kent with an excited face. Kent turned around after hearing the hysteric cries of Fatty.

"Thank you… Thank you so much, young master Kent." Fatty bowed, bending his waist, and spoke in an earnest tone.

Kent stared with a confused look as he observed Fatty, who is bowing like a servant. "Why are you bowing to me?" Kent asked while commanding out the Fire Kirin from his bracelet.

"Hahaha… It seems you didn't receive the news. I chose you as my candidate in this tournament. Because of your win against Arul, I won 333 gold coins in gambling. I really wish, you continue to win further and become the champion." Fatty said with a grinning face, and his cheeks covered his small eyes.

Kent finally realized the reason for Fatty's humble behavior. "So, finally, your loading gun theory, fired big. Congratulations." Kent replied, recalling the nonsense theory Fatty said when they first met in the Idol Plaza, where Kent bought clothes (check chapter 16).

"Hahaha… It's just a stupid theory. Don't embarrass me, young master. Also, if you allow me, please accept my treat after the tournament. I really earned a lot because of you." Fatty asked in a modest tone while walking beside Kent like an earnest follower.

"You don't need to treat me, Ben. You earned that money with your wit and luck. Also, you might be the only one who guessed my victory and took the risk. So, don't think of repaying anything to me." Kent said while placing food before Fire Kirin.

"Young master, please don't say that. At least treat me as your friend and accept my invitation as a friendly gesture. Even though I'm not a powerful magus, I will be a loyal friend and help you gather information or do any minor tasks." Fatty spoke with an anticipated gaze.

Kent stopped what he was doing and turned around to see Fatty's face. "There seems to be a plot behind your words. By any chance, is this part of your loading gun theory?" Kent asked in a serious tone, feeling suspicious of Fatty's words.

Fatty's awkward smile faded as he stared at the serious face of Kent. "Young master, it is true that I have a little selfish reason behind my request. But I never meant to harm you. I just want to become a golden root." Fatty Ben replied in a humble tone while staring at Kent with an honest look.

"What the hell is Golden Root? Also, what do you mean by harm? Are you planning to poison me by calling for a food treat?" Kent asked while taking a back step from Fatty, holding onto the back of Fire Kirin.

"No… nooo… Young master, you are misunderstanding me. Don't you know the golden root theory? The golden root attaches to the biggest tree in the forest and grows along with it.

Like Golden Root, I want to follow you in future and chose you as my candidate in every combat. Thereby, I will earn big and become a seven-star gambling god in the Fortune Hunter syndicate." Fatty explained in a hurried tone while speaking ambitiously with a proud look.

Kent did not understand whether to laugh or cry after hearing Fatty's ambitious plan. "Definitely, his fat brain is working on a different level." Kent muttered, staring at the giggling Ben.

"Master, why are you not saying anything? Do you accept my proposal? If you think I'm not a worthy person, I promise on my golden rat that I will forever be loyal to you and serve you wholeheartedly." Ben said in a serious tone while stretching his hand forward to pledge his loyalty.

Kent felt little awkward as many disciples were staring at them with confused gazes. Kent tried to deny his request for the time being, as he felt Fatty was thinking too much.

Just as he prepared to speak, elder Cha came running towards him while shouting his name from afar.

"Kent, master Chen is calling for you. There is a change in the schedule. Come fast." Elder Cha said while gasping for air.

Taking the chance, Kent skipped answering Fatty and hurriedly walked inside, and the Fire Kirin followed him, ignoring the delicious food before it. Even Fatty ran behind Kent to see what was going on.

By the time Kent reached the arena, seven fighters who had won their first matches—Mia Snow, Master Chen, and the Patriarch—were standing at the center of the arena. But that is not what surprised Kent.

Elder Sinara of the Autumn Wind sect, along with her disciple Zumi, stood beside the patriarch. With a confused gaze, Kent hurriedly reached the center of the arena, and beside him, the Fire Kirin and Fatty Ben came to stop.

Even though Master Chen glared at Fatty, he didn't ask him to leave. Zumi observed the Fire Kirin beside Kent in close distance with a wondering gaze. Soon her focus shifted to Kent, who is drawing her attention from a closer distance.

All the disciples were surrounding the arena, waiting to see what is happening as no one understood why the competition suddenly stopped. But most of their gazes were fixed on Elder Sinara, who came to pick a disciple for her Autumn Wind sect.

Adjusting her throat, Elder Sinara took a step forward and spoke, "To speak the truth, I actually came for Mia Snow. As my time is precious, I don't want to waste it by watching this child play.

So, among the eight of you, decided which one wanted to fight against Mia. Don't be stubborn and waste my time by posing yourself as a great magus. If you think you are weaker than others, just walk away from here."

Elder Sinara explained the reason without beating around the bush. Her voice resounded throughout the entire arena through the Aurora glass. All the disciples opened their mouths wide in surprise. No one expected this twist in the competition.

Even though it is shameful to the Sky family who is conducting the competition, they couldn't go against Tier 1 Autumn Wind Sect.
