“I know this person. He’s the body cultivator, Niu Hua, who likes to fight others. This is going to be interesting.”
“Then who is this delicate young man? How did he provoke this boorish Niu Hua?”
“I guess it’s because of women,” someone mused, looking like Sherlock Holmes.
This person continued his analysis. “There are two things that Niu Hua likes to do the most. One is to fight, and the other is to woo the opposite sex—especially innocent-looking women.
“He himself said that they give him the desire to conquer.”
“Look at the lady in the purple dress. Her appearance and figure are impeccable, and she’s especially pure and beautiful. Is this not Niu Hua’s favorite type?
“I’m sure that’s why Niu Hua is so angry.”
“Then, will this young man accept Niu Ben’s duel request?”
“If it were me, I would definitely accept it no matter what. After all, there are so many people watching. If I refuse, it would be too embarrassing. I would be called a coward. I don’t want to be shamed, so I definitely can’t back down.”
“You are you, he is him! Fighting with Niu Hua won’t end well!”
“I’ve seen Niu Ben fight before. He’s a boorish man. You must not let him get close, or you’ll be in trouble!”
“Sigh! This young man is also unlucky. He has a delicate appearance and is refined. No matter how I look at him, he doesn’t look like he’s suited for combat.
“If they duel, the outcome would be decided in less than five rounds.”
“I don’t think so. From his aura, this young man is in the Mahayana Realm, while Niu Hua is in Tribulation Transcendence.
“Although Niu Hua can fight above his realm, they’re still a major realm apart. This young man should be able to hold on for a while, at least ten rounds.”
“Niu Hua was able to tie with someone at the peak of the Mahayana Realm some time ago. Even if this young man is in the Mahayana Realm, he wouldn’t be able to last more than ten rounds.”
The surrounding people discussed animatedly. They didn’t think highly of Qin Chuan and sympathized with him.
“Junior Brother, ignore him!” Gu Mengyao tugged at the corner of Qin Chuan’s shirt and whispered.
She knew Qin Chuan’s strength. It was more than enough to deal with Niu Hua.
However, she was at the center of this trouble, so Gu Mengyao did not want to trouble Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Senior Sister. I know what to do.”
He sized up Niu Hua. In the past, he would have ignored him.
But things were different now.
Now that he had become famous outside, many paragons were already here to challenge him.
By then, he wouldn’t be able to keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
Since he was going to fight with those paragons, he might as well warm up and stretch his muscles.
“Alright! I agree!” said Qin Chuan with a smile.
Everyone was shocked by his words.
Gu Mengyao asked in puzzlement, “Junior Brother, why did you agree?”
Qin Chuan said indifferently, “Since the other party has made such a request, I naturally have to fulfill it.”
“Oh! Alright then!” Gu Mengyao felt a little guilty, feeling that she had caused trouble for Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Niu Hua was abnormally excited. In his mind, he was already starting to imagine himself beating up Qin Chuan.
The surrounding people looked at Qin Chuan sympathetically.
Although everyone was a little surprised that Qin Chuan had accepted Niu Hua’s duel request, it was understandable.
It was obvious that this young man was related to the innocent woman.
They didn’t seem like a couple, but their relationship probably wasn’t as simple as friends.
Niu Hua was doing this for this woman, so if he did not accept it, he would be embarrassed in front of her.
There was nothing he could do about it.
People strived for vindication.
Even if he knew that he would lose terribly, he had to brace himself and accept it.
Niu Hua said, “There is a arena in the city. Do you dare to come with me now?”
“Why wouldn’t I!”
“Good! You sure are big-hearted. I’m looking forward to fighting you.” Niu Hua laughed loudly as if victory belonged to him.
“I promise I won’t disappoint you.” A meaningful smile appeared on Qin Chuan’s lips.
Before long, they headed to the city’s arena.
There were many venues in the arena. If one wanted to carry out a duel, one had to pay a certain amount of venue and service fees.
The fee this time was not cheap, about ten supreme-grade spirit stones.
The duel was proposed by Niu Hua, and all the fees were paid by him.
This amount of money was nothing to him.
A duel naturally attracted an audience.
The audience had to pay the entrance fee, and at the same time, they could place bets.
The odds here were not as exciting as in the casinos. The compensation rate was always 1:2.
Qin Chuan and the others found the staff of the arena and asked if there were any seats available.
There were so many people on the day of the fireworks festival. Although there were many venues, they were still not enough. There was almost no time to spare.
The staff checked the list of venues. The next earliest timing for a venue is at least four hours later.
Niu Hua was an impatient person and could not wait that long.
There was a way to proceed as soon as possible.
As the saying went, money makes the world go round.
As long as one was willing to spend money, they could satisfy their needs.
One could cut the queue in the arena.
If the client had a need for advance arrangements, they could charge a fee for cutting in line based on the number of matches they were skipping.
The staff was very capable and could tell at a glance that Niu Hua was especially anxious.
He then introduced the cutting queue service.
Niu Hua was rich.
As long as they could arrange it immediately, he would pay any amount.
“Sir, I did some calculations. It will cost 2,000 supreme-grade spirit stones. Look…” said the staff.
2,000 supreme-grade spirit stones was not a small amount.
These were supreme-grade spirit stones.
For example, in the Luo Ding Sect, it would take a sect disciple more than a year to earn so many spirit stones while doing missions in the sect.
Niu Hua also hesitated.
He was rich, but to suddenly spend so much made his heartache.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan mocked, “Brother Niu, do you not have that many spirit stones? If you don’t have enough, I can lend you some. I won’t charge you interest.”
Niu Hua knew that Qin Chuan was deliberately provoking him.
He wasn’t angry.
“Count them.” Niu Hua handed the staff a storage bag.
The staff counted carefully.
“Sir, this is enough.”
The staff member took the number of spirit stones required and returned the storage bag to Niu Hua.
“Sir, please wait a moment. We’ll make arrangements as soon as possible.” The staff was overjoyed. He had not met such a big client in a long time.
This commission alone was equivalent to several months of his salary.
With money, he was very efficient.
In less than 15 minutes, the staff member returned.
“Sir, come with me.”
The staff led the way.
This arena was as big as ten football fields and had more than 300 levels.
There was a venue on each level.
Despite the large area, there were a lot of people today. The corridors were filled with people.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, Qin Chuan and company finally arrived at their designated venue.
This was on the 200th level.
At this moment, the duel had yet to end. The audience seats were packed.
The audience was filled with excitement and cheered for the people fighting.
“Sirs, please take a seat. Their victor should be decided soon.”
The staff led them to the waiting room.
They paid a lot of money. The waiting room was different from other rooms. It was exclusive to VIPs. It was luxuriously decorated and had all kinds of high-tech equipment. It could also be used to watch the battles on the field.
This was the first time Qin Chuan had come to such a place. It was also especially novel. He looked around.
Then, he stopped in front of the stands.
The view here was wide, and he could watch the duel clearly.
He looked at the battle going on. Both sides were in the Fusion realm, and their combat strength was similar. There was nothing amazing about them.
At this moment, Niu Hua walked over.
