Chapter 117: Why Are You The One Fighting Him?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Prometheus stepped onto the arena, he glanced around the area to see if Long Fengyun had arrived.
However, it was clear that Long Fengyun was not present.
The old monk was very nervous. He immediately explained the rules of the martial arts exhibition to Yuchi, “Senior, this kind of arena battle is very different from the battles in the wild. The arena is only a hundred meters long and wide. It’s pitifully small compared to the battles fought in the wilderness outside.”
“And you must pay attention to this when you fight later!”
“The arena can not be destroyed in the battle!”
!!
“This is an absolute test of the fighters’ ability to control their strength. You can’t hurt the audience around you either.”
Yuchi nodded in surprise.
He did not expect that the fight for the sect master’s position would be held in such an arena. Furthermore, the arena could not be destroyed. Compared to battles where one’s strength could be displayed without restraint, this kind of arena battle tested the control of one’s strength instead.
Perhaps this was due to some sort of special need for the sect master of the Black Heaven sect to be able to control their strength.
Regardless, it did not matter to Yuchi, and he simply walked toward the arena under the surprised gazes of the surrounding audience.
The spectators, Ershania included, were puzzled by Yuchi’s actions.
Why was a human walking toward the arena at this time? Even if this human wanted to challenge Long Fengyun, he should at least wait until Prometheus’ match was over before challenging him.
Ershania could not help but tug Yuchi’s hand.
“Senior, this is Prometheus’ battle. You can’t go up now.”
From the interaction between Yuchi and the old monk, Ershania knew that Yuchi had just arrived at the Black Heaven sect and was not very clear about how things worked here.
If Yuchi interfered in the battle between Prometheus and Long Fengyun, things would become messy. Naturally, Ershania had no ill intentions.
“The person he’s looking for is me,” Yuchi said.
“Ah?”
What did he mean by that?
Could it be that Yuchi meant that Prometheus wanted to fight him? That did not make any sense.
The other members of the myriad races also stared at Yuchi, speechless.
Where did this little fellow come from?
For some inexplicable reason, he wanted to fight with the pufferfish race’s Prometheus.
Even though the pufferfish race was a race that everyone looked down upon, the human race was not any better.
They were both marginalized races.
Why would you go up and cause a scene? You should just wait for Prometheus’ match to end before going up to die in a blaze of glory. That would make more sense.
Yuchi did not want to talk to them, so he simply showed them the token in his hand. Then, amidst the shocked silence, he walked onto the arena platform. Looking at the confused Prometheus, he smiled and said, “Long Fengyun couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances. As the new sect master of the Black Heaven sect, I have to take up his former responsibilities. I’ll be the one fighting you today.”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Yuchi.”
“A nobody.”
The audience’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
What was going on?
Why did a human have the sect master’s token? Why did this human say that Long Fengyun would not be able to make it?
Where was Long Fengyun?
Furthermore, why did he give such an important token to a human?!
The focus of their thought process still centered around Long Fengyun. They wondered what had indisposed him to the point that he had given his token to a human.
As for Yuchi’s own strength, that did not matter at all. The most important thing was how poorly Long Fengyun had handled this matter!
The old monk was a little unhappy.
What was wrong with having a human as the sect master?
Had it not been for the fact that Yuchi was not bothered about this whole matter, and disliked fanfare, the old monk would have announced something to all the races present today…
The human race had risen up again!
Ershania felt that this matter was quite unexpected. As for the result of this battle, subconsciously she had already accepted the fact that Yuchi would lose.
After all, Yuchi was from the human race.
How could there be a human who could fight with the second-ranked combatant of the Heaven rankings?
It was impossible.
“I hope that Prometheus will be a little merciful and injure Senior too badly.” Ershania prayed inwardly.
At this moment, in the arena, Prometheus had already returned to his usual calm state.
His pair of slightly red eyes stared at Yuchi.
The other people were too weak, so they could not sense Yuchi’s strength, but he was different. He was much stronger than those in the audience, so he could sense the unfathomable power hidden behind Yuchi’s weak facade.
“Senior, “Prometheus said, “I hope that we can have a fair and proper fight. I hope I can defeat you and obtain the honor of becoming the sect master of the Black Heaven sect.”
“Alright,” Yuchi smiled and nodded.
After the audience heard their brief conversation, they erupted into chaos.
“Prometheus, your match is an unfair one!”
“What right do you have to be the sect master of the Black Heaven sect?”
“Your opponent is a mere human!”
“We’ll only acknowledge you as our sect master if you defeat Long Fengyun.”
“Prometheus, get down here and let me challenge this human! As long as I win, this sect master’s token will be mine.”
“A dirty pufferfish is fighting a trashy human? What the hell is going on?!”
“I won’t acknowledge the results of such a battle!”
“This battle is a joke!”
“Even if you become the sect master, we will still look down on you!”
“The pufferfish race and the human race are both trash!”
The audience surrounding the arena had already gone crazy.
From their perspective, Yuchi was just a nobody who had somehow obtained the sect master’s token. This was akin to handing the sect master position to Prometheus on a silver platter.
As such, they seriously suspected that there was some shady business going on between Long Fengyun and Prometheus.
“Why should Prometheus get the token and not one of us? Any one of us can defeat that useless human!’
“This is terrible!”
“I didn’t expect things to develop in this direction!”
Ershania was very worried about Yuchi, who now had a target painted on his back.
Just as she was thinking of a way to help Yuchi out of this situation, Yuchi slowly turned his head and looked around at the audience.
Wherever his eyes reached, all the clamoring members of the myriad races were annihilated!
In that instant, more than 50,000 people, regardless of their strength…
Were instantly killed!
Yuchi calmly turned back to Prometheus and smiled.
“Right, now that there’s no one around to disturb us, let’s begin. It’s been a long time since I’ve fought someone with such a strong fighting spirit. I hope that you will make this fun for me.”
