It’s also because of the outstanding performance on the Desolate Hunting List that the Heroic Society’s montum surged, becoming a rising star among the Demon Hunter organizations.
So everyone, including Qin Dong, held great respect for the new leader.
However, since the Heroic Society in Huangquan City had never been highly regarded among the societies in various cities, the new leader, including people like Qin Dong, had only heard of the leader’s na but never seen the person.
"Young Master Dong, this arena tournant in Huangquan City will surely attract many people. The notice has been out for several days, and there’s a continuous stream of people registering. At least three to four hundred people have signed up, so this competition is sure to be quite a spectacle."
Qin Dong’s subordinate flattered him.
As Qin Dong and the others ca out, Ye Lingyue and a disguised Si Xiaochun also entered the underground bank.
"This is the base of the Heroic Society in Huangquan City, the Underground Bank, and the venue for the Underground Arena Competition. Look, didn’t I tell you? There are plenty of people signing up."
Si Xiaochun was speaking.
Ye Lingyue’s eyes darkened when she saw Qin Dong.
He was indeed here. Upon seeing Qin Dong, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but clench her fist.
But soon, Ye Lingyue unclenched her fist, knowing it wasn’t the right ti to strike.
Qin Dong also noticed Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun, especially Ye Lingyue’s noticeable armor among the other registrants.
"That guy looks rather strange."
Qin Dong squinted, trying to discern the strength and identity of the big guy in armor.
But he quickly realized he couldn’t see through the other’s cultivation.
The war armor of the Gua Niu Great Monarch possesses the ability to conceal strength and resist spiritual power probing.
Furthermore, that armor, stained with countless Earth Evil Prison Souls, emitted a chilling cold air, making anyone close feel uncomfortably cold.
Qin Dong was a bit surprised, yet also satisfied.
The stronger the candidates signing up, the more pleased the higher-ups would be with the selected ones.
The surrounding participants avoided Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun because of Ye Lingyue’s armor, making it even less noticeable that Si Xiaochun was a man.
Qin Dong didn’t give it much thought and looked away.
He would never have imagined that behind that bulky armor was Ye Lingyue, whom he had been searching for so long.
"Registrants, line up. This Underground Arena Competition has no age or cultivation limits but requires mixed-gender pairing to compete. Each registrant must pay an Interdiate Spirit Stone as a registration fee before signing up."
The people from the underground bank instructed the contestants to line up.
Ye Lingyue noticed that among those registering, many were couples or lovers. There weren’t many new pairings like hers with Si Xiaochun.
"You two, what’s your na, and team na?"
The registrar took a quick look at Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun, confird their genders, and began signing them up.
"Ling, Xiaochun, the team na is ’Fifty-Fifty Squad.’
The team na was sothing Si Xiaochun ca up with on the way. Since they split the prize money and awards equally, he figured the team na might as well be the sa.
Shortly after signing up, they received two badges engraved with the words ’Fifty-Fifty,’ along with their nas. The two of them officially ford a team.
After registering, Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun left the underground bank.
"Xiaochun, is there anywhere in the city to send a ssage? I’d like to send a letter to my friend in Yann City."
Besides maintaining contact with Di Shen through the Phoenix Token and knowing so news about Wuyue, Ye Lingyue had no information about her companions who entered the Lonely Moon Sea of the Ancient Nine Provinces with her.
Earlier, due to financial constraints, she couldn’t get in touch. Now with a bit more funds, she wanted to see how everyone was faring in different newbie cities over the past month.
Si Xiaochun inford Ye Lingyue that there was a post station in the city, and with a few Low-level Spirit Stones, ssages could be sent.
Ye Lingyue arrived at the post station and sent the letters she had written earlier to various newbie cities.
Previously, when Ye Lingyue was at the Ancient Pass, she encountered a Primordial Power Storm. The incident had already been communicated through the Ancient Pass to the others from Lonely Moon Sea, and a letter had been sent back to her Master Zi.
Including Qin Xiaochuan, several people were quite worried.
Fortunately, two days later, they received word that Ye Lingyue was not in danger. She had rely been mistakenly sent to Huangquan City, relieving them, though they still worried she might be bullied in the notorious Huangquan City.
However, they soon realized their worries were unfounded.
The first to receive news was Gold City, relatively close to Huangquan City.
Gold City is one of the five major Spirit Cities, best suited for cultivating Golden Power for newcors.
Among the Lonely Moon Sea group, Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun were in Gold City.
"The leader is truly impressive, surviving in a place like Huangquan City. Compared to her, it seems our days are even tougher." Huang Jun looked at Ye Lingyue’s letter with a face full of emotion.
"I always said Fifth Sister-in-law would be fine. Maybe we should be more concerned about ourselves. We don’t want to end up being the only ones left in Gold City after everyone else finishes their newbie assessnts." Qin Xiaochuan shrugged.
Others were fooled by Fifth Sister-in-law’s seemingly harmless appearance.
Since the day he got instantly defeated by Ye Lingyue with a bizarre black serpent on the sect competition’s arena, Qin Xiaochuan’s perception of her had completely changed.
He thought that among these newcors, the most unexpected might not be Di Shen with his Five Elents Nirvana Body or Wuyue with her Tri-elent Nirvana Body, but rather Fifth Sister-in-law Ye Lingyue, who didn’t even have a trace of the Power of Reincarnation.
Ye Lingyue had many aspects Qin Xiaochuan couldn’t figure out, such as her dical skills or her explosive power, which surpassed even the Power of Reincarnation.
"Indeed, it seems our problems are greater. What do you say, Senior Brother Xiaochuan, are we going to challenge that Eighteen Vajra Formation today?"
Receiving Ye Lingyue’s letter made Huang Jun quite happy, but just the thought of encountering the newbie training ahead gave him a headache.
He touched his bruised and swollen face, sighing deeply.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Xiaochuan and Huang Jun did look quite unfortunate.
Both originally had distinguished appearances, but at the mont, their faces were bruised and swollen, resembling two pig heads.
"Yes, we must. By breaking through the Eighteen Vajra Formation, we can pass the newbie assessnt and leave Gold City. It’s getting late, let’s go." Qin Xiaochuan said without hesitation, and together with Huang Jun, they left the newbie camp heading towards the training camp within Gold City.
