The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

78. The Match within the Match

In the first round of the elimination match, Feng Xi was assigned to the tenth arena.

There were fifty attendees standing in the arena, but the place didn't seem very crowded. Instead, there was still plenty of room, which was suitable for the attenders to fully display their talents even in a tangled fight.

Feng Xi was already engulfed by the flood of people due to his small figure.

With the loud rumbling of the drum, the judge who took charge of the tenth arena stepped out. He raised his hand and said, "I won't talk nonsense then. No matter what kind of means you use, the longer you stay in the first round, the higher your rank would be. The last ten persons who remain in the arena would be able to enter the next round of the contest. Understand? So... Now start!"

As he uttered the last words, the attendees in the arena all got passionate again.

"Boom!"

The moment the judge put his hand down, the arena which had only been a little bit noisy suddenly burst into an explosion. The attenders employed all kinds of eye-dazzling arts with different spiritual energy. In no time, the place was filled with screams and groans. The attendees who were not strong enough were kicked out of the arena so quickly that some of them didn't even have the time to react.

Those who attacked ahead of others were mostly the cultivators who had attended the match before. They were well aware of the advantage of striking first, so they had thrown out the cultivators around them the moment the contest started.

After that, all the figures started to move at a fast speed, most of which headed to the edge of the arena.

That was because they had all been surrounded by their components at the beginning and none of them wanted to be sneaked upon by someone else before they started to fight.

Feng Xi had already stood in a corner of the arena, thanks to God of Books who knew everything in the world. As a result, the boy had already seen clearly everyone else's movements as well as the ones who wanted to launch a surprise attack on others. While he was looking at the chaotic scene, he started to think about where to begin his attack. However, little did he know that someone had already targeted him.

The boy looked thin and weak with a good-looking face.

When he stood among all those sturdy men, he looked very pitiful and vulnerable. What was more, the corner where he was staying right now was actually coveted by lots of cultivators? Therefore, some cultivators had fixed their eyes on the boy from the beginning. Nonetheless, most people knew that men could never be judged by their appearance, so some of the cultivators decided to wait and see.

The cultivators on the arena were still fighting each other right now. However, obviously, they were more afraid of the sneak attack. Thus, even when they were in a fight with others, they still had to pay some attention to their surroundings in case someone would launch a surprise attack on them. Once they heard a sound, they would move right away like a frightened bird or attack the source of the sound instantly.

In a word, finding a good spot in a chaotic match like this was very important. Moreover, having a pair of sharp eyes was also very essential if one wanted to survive.

That was why the boy had been targeted.

In the meantime, the ones who had been observing the boy secretly were fooled by the boy's appearance at last. Most of them assumed that the boy only hadn't launched any attack right now because he wanted to win the match by hiding from everyone the whole time.

What they didn't know was that the boy was assigning tasks to his Demon Beast and himself right now.

"Hairless Chicken is in the Saint realm and more powerful than me, so it should kick out more cultivators than I do. Then, it'll have to defeat thirty cultivators. As for myself, I'll accept nineteen." Feng Xi counted that with his fingers, finding his decision very reasonable.
