Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early the next morning, they were woken up by sounds coming from the walkway. Su Chen and Yousi were assigned to the same room. They woke up at the same time and looked outside. They saw a man holding a whip and he was swinging it non-stop as he shouted, “Trash, are you still sleeping?”
His arrogant tone was very annoying. He seemed to have noticed Su Chen and Yousi. He quickly approached them and asked, “Are you new here?”
Su Chen and Yousi did not want to answer him, so they just looked at him silently.
His expression suddenly changed from a smile to extreme anger. He whipped the iron door, and after a while, he started to laugh.
“Hehehe… Newbies. I look forward to meeting you later…”
After he said that, he walked away crazily. A little fatty from the next room poked his head out.
“Hey, you guys, why didn’t you reply him just now? He’s in the top ten on the leaderboard, the famous Whip Maniac.”
Su Chen only noticed a guy standing there when he heard his voice. His chubby face was full of blood-red bruises and his left eye was swollen.
Yousi said disdainfully, “Because I didn’t want to talk to him.”
The little fatty became anxious.
“But, he just mentioned that he’ll definitely challenge you guys in the group arena. You have to be careful.”
Just as the little fatty finished speaking, a whistle was heard. Then, everyone began to head out. They all stood at the field where there were many trebuchets in front of them. Before Su Chen could figure out what they were going to do, the trebuchets started to throw rocks at them. Rocks of different sizes scattered in the air and everyone started to run away from each other.
At this moment, Madella’s voice was heard coming from above their heads, “If anyone doesn’t dodge today’s falling rocks, they won’t be able to eat lunch.”
Su Chen, who was distracted, was almost hit by a rock. He thought to himself, ‘Who would be able to eat lunch after being hit by a rock?’
He used all his strength to dodge most of the falling rocks. He was scratched a few times, but fortunately, it was nothing serious. Yousi’s reaction was obviously better than his. It seemed easy for him to dodge the falling rocks.
After the falling rocks were dodged, it was already noon. Yousi and Su Chen went to the cafeteria, and sure enough, the situation was the same as the previous day. Yousi and Su Chen got their food, found some empty stools, and sat down to eat.
Suddenly, an apple core flew over and hit Yousi’s head. Su Chen thought Yousi was going to get angry, but he did not. Yousi turned his head with a smile and said, “Excuse me, what’s the matter?”
It turned out to be the 200-pound fatty they saw yesterday. Today, there was an extra lackey beside him. The lackey answered while fanning him, “Who told you to sit on a stool? How can people of your level be qualified to sit on a stool? You’re only qualified to be a stool, understand?”
Yousi still retained the smile on his face and said, “What if I’m not willing?”
The lackey immediately pretended to rush forward. He retreated after taking two steps and continued fanning the 200-pound fatty. Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, he thought that this matter had passed just like that. It was not until Yousi and Su Chen finished their meal and were about to leave the cafeteria that the 200-pound fatty slowly said, “My name’s Haas.”
Su Chen and Yousi felt that it was strange for him to suddenly mention his name. They did not take it to heart and returned to their rooms. After resting for a while, they soon welcomed the afternoon’s group arena.
The rules of the group arena were like this. The top 10 people on the ranking list could choose the person they wanted to challenge to fight. Of course, if one believed in their absolute ability, one could also take the initiative to choose those from the top 10 to challenge them. In either case, if one defeated any one of the top 10 rankers, one could automatically inherit their ranking. Only the top 10 rankers could enter the finals of the duel.
The host on the stage began to read out the competition process. At first, he asked if anyone in the audience wanted to challenge the people from the top 10 rankings. The audience was completely silent. After quickly skipping this segment, it was the people on the ranking who began to choose. The man with the whip rushed onto the stage and began to look around the crowd with a smile.
He finally found Su Chen and Yousi. He pointed at the two of them before he hooked his finger.
Before Su Chen could react, Yousi had already flipped onto the stage.
“The ones standing on the stage now are Whip Maniac Bob and rookie Yousi. Now, let’s count down from three. The competition’s about to begin.”
The host began counting down from three. Three… two… one… The match began.
Whip Maniac Bob heard that the countdown was over and immediately began to wave his whip. Seeing this, Yousi immediately began to dodge it, but because the speed of the whip was too fast, Yousi did not have time to attack and could only keep dodging.
After a while, Su Chen saw that Yousi’s stamina was decreasing as Yousi was panting heavily. After all, they had just come out of the pile of rocks task this morning and did not have a good rest in the afternoon. Su Chen was very worried about Yousi. His heart was already in his throat because he had never seen Yousi get into direct conflict with anyone. Therefore, Su Chen did not have a clear idea of what Yousi’s strength was like.
He could only try his best to convince himself that he must believe in Yousi who was still dodging the whip. At that instance, because his reaction speed was slow, the whip hit Yousi’s left shoulder.
A large amount of blood flowed out from the spot where the whip had struck. Yousi was also very surprised when he saw the wound.
How could this be? The whip merely touched him?
How could there be such a serious wound? Whip Maniac Bob, who was holding the whip and grinning, actually opened his mouth to speak.
“This whip of mine is made from the longest, thickest, and hardest thorn in the eastern Thorn Forest. An ordinary person would only need to be touched by it to suffer a very deep wound. However, if you surrender to me now, I can spare your life. After I’m done with you, you’ll be the only one left.”
As he said this, he walked to the edge of the ring and looked at Su Chen with a threatening tone.
‘Am I next?’ As Su Chen thought this, fear rushed into his mind but it was quickly suppressed because what was more worrying right now was Yousi who was still in the ring.
Yousi tore off a piece of his clothes and used one hand to wrap the wound with it. Although the blood could not be stopped and soon dyed the cloth red, Yousi had already stood up as if nothing had happened. He shouted at Bob who had his back to him, “Isn’t your enemy me? It’s still a problem whether you can beat me or not.. Just eat what’s in your bowl and watch what’s in the pot.”
