"Puchi~"
"-4988525" critical hit~
...
In the Beast Fighting Arena of Jialan City.
When everyone, including Jarvis himself, believed the next mont would be swallowed by the Bone-Eroding Beast.
Jarvis only saw a blur before his eyes.
The Bone-Eroding Beast, which had been fiercely glaring, suddenly lost all its brilliance in an instant.
Then his eyes were filled with a bright red...
It wasn't the color of the beast after advancing, but a splatter of fresh blood.
Warm, splashing on his face.
"Boom~"
Jarvis fell to the ground almost simultaneously with the Bone-Eroding Beast, dumbstruck.
But what left everyone utterly stunned was.
The once-imposing Bone-Eroding Beast was now cut in half, falling before Jarvis.
At the sa ti, suddenly appearing on the stage was a new figure, causing a commotion.
Charles in the audience jumped up in fury!
Only then did he react to Lin Yi's shocking intervention.
He stood up in disbelief, glaring at the figure on the arena, grinding his teeth:
"Shaless!!!"
He never expected.
This Lin Yi, in order to win, dared to make such a crazy move:
"This bastard."
Finally having the chance to suppress him in front of Ling Yuwei.
Yet he didn't expect this kid to do sothing so insane to win.
However, at this mont, in everyone's eyes, the first reaction was similar to Charles's.
No one thought Lin Yi was saving Jarvis's life.
Everyone believed Lin Yi acted out of fear of losing.
Instantly inciting public outrage:
"He actually killed the Bone-Eroding Beast."
"Damn it, how could he do such a thing."
"Is this a blatant challenge to Jialan's royal family."
So appeared at a loss:
"Who should be considered the winner now?"
Lin Yi's actions instantly shattered the calm of the scene.
More outcries of angst arose:
"Why would it turn out this way."
"That was my entire fortune!"
Those who bet on the Bone-Eroding Beast were left dumbfounded by these events.
Next, like a chain reaction, more people fell into despair.
No one expected their 'duck' in hand to fly away before their eyes.
People frantically rushed to the railing, shouting angrily at Lin Yi in the arena:
"Destroyer of rules, kill!"
Countless people pointed at Lin Yi, cursing:
"Where are the people from the Beast Fighting Arena?"
"Where are Jialan's royal family?"
"Why hasn't anyone appeared for so long?!"
"Give us an explanation!"
Yet more people pointed at Lin Yi, faces contorted in fury:
"Kill!!"
"Kill him!"
"Not killing him is insufficient to quell public anger."
...
At this mont, those who bet on Jarvis's win looked at Lin Yi with a hint of gratitude in their eyes.
However, more joined the wave of denunciations, shouting:
"Refund!"
"Refund!"
The protest grew louder and louder.
Those waiting outside the arena for the results were bewildered by the noise inside:
"What happened inside?"
"Why is everyone shouting for a refund!"
"The first challenge should logically have results by now, why hasn't there been any movent."
"Exactly!"
"It's a pity we can't go in and see the situation."
Soone ran to the betting window to ask for results.
But only received the staff's response:
"Awaiting announcent."
As these people remained clueless, squads of figures in Black Armor suddenly appeared at the arena entrance.
As these figures cloaked entirely in Black Armor appeared, exclamations echoed around:
"These are the Jialan Royal Family's Guards!"
Surrounding people quickly moved aside, retreating to both sides, pointing at these figures:
"Rumor has it that everyone here has at least Tier Five Sword Sect strength!"
"The Black Armor Guards belong to the Jialan Royal Family; how could their strength be lacking?"
At this mont, more people were curious:
"Why are they here?"
On this point, everyone's answer was surprisingly unanimous:
"Sothing major must have happened inside."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have deployed such a terrifying force.
Only now did people truly realize that what was happening inside might exceed everyone's expectations.
Of course, this also instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.
What exactly was happening inside?
Amidst a flurry of speculation, a piece of news about the situation inside the duel arena leaked out.
As soon as this news appeared, it imdiately caused a violent uproar outside.
…
At this mont, inside the duel arena, even the air was filled with the anger and ferocity of the crowd.
Faced with such a chaotic scene, Jarvis still wore an incredulous expression.
He stared blankly at the corpse of the Bone-Eroding Beast, now severed in half, on the ground.
He turned his head, dumbfounded, to look at the figure not far away.
Not understanding what had just happened.
He didn't know this person, nor understood why he would help him.
He thought he was certainly dood.
Yet unexpectedly, he was saved by him.
This was an outco Jarvis could have never imagined.
Not only Jarvis couldn't imagine it.
Almost everyone present couldn't imagine it.
Faced with the surrounding accusations and scolding, a trace of sadness gradually appeared on Lin Yi's face.
The act of saving soone, originally ant to be praised.
Now in their eyes, it had beco an unwanted interference, even an act condemned by all.
It seed that in everyone's eyes, Jarvis deserved to die.
Listening to the unpleasant curses, Ling Yuwei stood by the railing, staring blankly at Lin Yi in the arena.
She suddenly realized.
She thought she already knew him well, but now she once again found herself confused.
Perhaps influenced by her upbringing within the Illusion Realm.
So even Ling Yuwei hadn't expected Lin Yi would actually do such a thing.
Her gaze shifted from Lin Yi to Jarvis, who stood behind him, appearing shocked and fearful.
She also speculated.
Was Lin Yi's action purely to save him, or was it because he had bet on Jarvis winning, and used this thod to save face?
However, subconsciously, Ling Yuwei thought the first possibility was more likely.
Because she understood.
Lin Yi didn't seem like soone preoccupied with face.
Moreover, while a million gold coins might be a terrifying astronomical figure for ordinary people.
But for soone who could easily offer a [High-grade Life Potion] and [Elf Holy Water].
It probably wasn't worth breaking the rules just for the money of a [High-grade Life Potion].
Just then.
The entrances of the duel arena erupted with commotion.
Amidst the clamor, teams of Black Armor Guards with an oppressive aura kept pouring in.
Suddenly, around them, ca startled exclamations:
"Black Armor Guards."
"Why are they here."
As soon as these Black Armor Guards appeared, they started shouting to the crowd:
"Everyone return to your seats."
"Repeating."
"Everyone get back to your seats."
As they spoke, they aggressively grabbed those blocking the roads:
"Did you hear ."
"Get back to your seats."
"Move!"
The mont these Black Armor Guards appeared, they drove away all those standing by the railings and took their place.
Under the violent eviction by these Black Armor Guards, both nobles and commoners retreated from the railings, returning to their seats.
Watching a team of Black Armor Guards with ominous expressions approaching them.
Ling Yuwei worriedly glanced at Lin Yi in the arena.
Eventually, she gritted her teeth and chose to back off.
At her current strength, she couldn't be of any help, and going up might only beco a burden to Lin Yi.
Knowing this fact clearly, she chose to leave before the Black Armor Guards got any closer.
But on her way back to her seat, Ling Yuwei grabbed a plainly dressed man:
"I need a favor."
The man was about to refuse
But upon turning and seeing Ling Yuwei's attire and appearance, he swallowed the word 'scram', and respectfully said:
"It is my honor."
"What can I help you with?"
Without another word, Ling Yuwei pulled out a gold note with a 50,000 denomination and handed it over:
"Go to the Linlang rchants Guild in the south of the city and pass a ssage to the director."
