In the final battle against the Ghost ssenger, Lin Bai essentially won this martial arts competition using life-risking tactics.
After completing three matches, Lin Bai imdiately left the Martial Arts Competition Arena, took off his mask in the dim passageway, and his black robe transford into a white robe, returning to the Tang Family.
Back at the Tang Family, Ban Ye stood in his courtyard seeing Lin Bai return.
Ban Ye did not speak to Lin Bai but simply looked at him.
Lin Bai smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and then returned to his residence.
Seeing Lin Bai like this, Ban Ye imdiately understood that Lin Bai had passed the three tests.
Back in his residence, Lin Bai sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries.
"It’s a pity that now I’ve decided to switch identities in the Fighting Arena, so I can’t use sword skills. Hitting with fists creates quite a noise; if only I could cultivate so fist techniques instead!"
"Or perhaps, it would be great if I could cultivate the ’Black Water Divine Thunder Skill’."
Lin Bai sat down cross-legged, recalling today’s three matches in his mind and summarizing the experiences.
Afterward, Lin Bai began healing his injuries.
Soon after, the Sound Transmission Token in his Storage Bag suddenly rang. Lin Bai took out the token and found it was Tai Yi from the Fighting Arena. He frowned: "Wasn’t it supposed to start tomorrow? What does Tai Yi want now?"
With curiosity, Lin Bai activated the Sound Transmission Token and asked: "Manager Tai Yi? Is there sothing?"
On the other end of the Sound Transmission Token, Tai Yi imdiately said: "Sword Demon, presently there are over a dozen influential figures in the Fighting Arena who wish to see you. Are you interested in eting them?"
Lin Bai frowned and asked: "Influential figures?"
Tai Yi explained: "They are all people from the Eight Great Clans within the Fighting Arena, selecting an Undefeated General. It seems they think highly of you and want to invite you!"
"For instance, Madam Yang from the Zhao Family, Qianduo Jin from the Qian Family, Sun Youcai from the Sun Family, Li Tianying from the Li Family... and so on!"
Lin Bai said in a low voice: "What do they want with an Undefeated General?"
Tai Yi said: "Brother Sword Demon, you are new to the Fighting Arena and may not understand. An Undefeated General in the Fighting Arena refers to those Warriors with exceptional strength who will win once they appear!"
"And the martial arts competitions in the Fighting Arena are rely for fun; the real earning of benefits is through the casinos!"
"So big figures cultivate Undefeated Generals in the Fighting Arena to earn vast amounts of rits in the casinos. Once the Undefeated General appears, these figures bet all their rits at once and earn a large amount in a single go!"
Lin Bai understood upon hearing this.
This is equivalent to cheating!
The Eight Great Clans select Strong Ones, the Fighting Arena arranges the casinos, and the Undefeated General refers to those Warriors with enormous strength who win imdiately upon entering.
When this Warrior appears, the person cultivating them bets a heavy amount, gambling on their victory, and once they win, the one who cultivated them receives a large bet!
Tai Yi said: "Brother Sword Demon, being valued by these influential figures is beneficial for you; at least they will strive to cultivate you and enhance your strength. Why not et them?"
"Among the more than a dozen influential figures requesting to see you, in my opinion, Madam Yang from the Zhao Family and Qianduo Jin from the Qian Family are the most suitable to et, as they hold vast amounts of Cultivation Resources in Black Water City!"
"And they will also provide sufficient Cultivation Resources to cultivate you!"
Lin Bai, expressionless, listened to Tai Yi’s words and nodded slightly, finding this situation sowhat intriguing.
Imdiately, Lin Bai said: "Then I’ll trouble Manager Tai Yi to make arrangents. As you suggested, I’ll et Qian Youcai from the Qian Family and Madam Yang from the Zhao Family."
Tai Yi nodded and said: "Alright, at dusk today, at the Celestial Immortal Tower in Black Water City, I will arrange the eting between you and Madam Yang from the Zhao Family. Please don’t forget the hour, Brother Sword Demon!"
Lin Bai nodded and said: "Alright!"
Putting away the Sound Transmission Token, Lin Bai chuckled lightly: "Interesting."
Following that, Lin Bai seized the ti to heal his injuries, and by dusk, he had almost completely healed the injuries inside his body.
At dusk, as agreed, Lin Bai left the Tang Family and headed towards the Celestial Immortal Tower.
The Celestial Immortal Tower is the most luxurious Wine Building in Black Water City. Previously, Ban Ye also took Lin Bai to see it, and within it, all passing Warriors are either rich or noble.
Coming to a dark alley not far from the Celestial Immortal Tower, Lin Bai donned his mask again and wore a black robe, heading towards the Celestial Immortal Tower.
Outside the Celestial Immortal Tower, a servant saw Lin Bai approach, hurried to greet him, and said with a smile: "Sword Demon Sir, you’re here. Manager Tai Yi and Madam Yang have been waiting for a long ti. Please follow !"
Lin Bai nodded slightly and followed the servant up to the Celestial Immortal Tower.
Soon, Lin Bai arrived at the Ninth Floor of the Celestial Immortal Tower. The servant lightly knocked on a room’s door, explained his purpose, and Tai Yi ca out to open the door, seeing Sword Demon!
"Brother Sword Demon, you’re here. Co in!"
Tai Yi invited Lin Bai in, and casually tossed a bag of Spiritual Stones to the servant.
The servant was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed to express thanks, and then left the place.
Walking into the room, a strange fragrance filled the air, refreshing the mind and easing the heart.
In the room was a woman, surprisingly, it was Madam Yang!
Around Madam Yang stood four flowerlike handso n, who now looked at Sword Demon with faint anger and disdain on their faces.
It seed like Lin Bai’s appearance threatened their positions!
Tai Yi smiled and said: "Madam Yang, now that Sword Demon is here, I’ll leave you to chat. I’ll be outside having a drink, if anything else cos up, feel free to call !"
After speaking, Tai Yi prepared to leave.
Madam Yang chuckled lightly and said: "Thank you, Manager Tai Yi, for all this!"
As Madam Yang began speaking, one of the flowerlike handso n went over and took out an Identity Token from his Storage Bag to give to Tai Yi.
Madam Yang smiled and said: "This Token has ten thousand rits, consider it Manager Tai Yi’s drink money for today!"
Tai Yi accepted the token without hesitation and nodded: "Thank you, Madam Yang!"
After speaking, Tai Yi left the room.
Lin Bai stood in the room.
Madam Yang looked at Lin Bai and said indifferently: "Sword Demon, do you know why I asked you here today?"
Lin Bai said in a hoarse voice: "Manager Tai Yi ntioned a few things, but I’m not very clear on the specifics. I’ll need Madam Yang to explain!"
