Chapter 325 – The Colosseum Opens

Shao Xuan went back to the Luoye City station, then spoke to Su Gu. He wanted to have a talk with the Luoye City King, Su Lun.

Knowing that Shao Xuan wanted to talk to Su Lun regarding Lei and Tuo, Su Gu agreed. At least he could still help with this.

From here on, Shao Xuan rarely got to see the king. The kings of the cities were not like the other small slave owners, all day going to Beast City to fight in the pit or gamble. For the king, fighting in the pit was simply humiliating. There was already an event that could match them which was only seen in the huge Colosseum.

An area in the Luoye City station was for the fighting beast for the Colosseum. In that other direction in the station, the small slave owners’ fighting beasts were separated. Every day, there were people there to train them. However, because of the direction of the wind, the people and animals located in the upper wind could not smell the thick bloody smell coming from that area but if you walked over, it was obvious.

Su Gu went there to look for Su Lun and did not took long to return.

“Father was busy. He can’t say.” Su Gu reluctantly told Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan frowned. So Su Lun would not see him. He would also like to talk to Su Lun about what to do when they encountered Lei and Tuo in the Colosseum, but now it seemed that this road would lead to nowhere.

Looking at the reaction of Shao Xuan, Su Gu continued, “Although father did not see you, but I will tell him about what happened to Lei and Tuo. Father said that as long as you can be better than the Baishi fighting beast, he would solve the other things, so you don’t have to worry about the Baishi people there.”

When he looked at Shao Xuan, Su Gu thought that Shao Xuan gave up. After all, that was the Colosseum and no average person could go down there to fight. Even the slaves who were the competent slaves of the slave owners, every year, more than half have not been able to come out again.

Last year, when Dao Yu fought, not a lot of people were optimistic. Many people saw him as a joke, that the fighting beast of Luoye City would win. However, it was not as they would’ve wanted. Dao Yu unexpectedly came out alive. It was just a slap in the faces of the Luoye City people. Some heard that after that, Su Lun also sent people to assassinate Dao Yu. Unfortunately, they were not successful, and often, the people sent over there were the ones killed.

“Let’s forget it.” Su Lun had said, “If I didn’t, it wouldn’t end.”

“I’ll go.” Shao Xuan said.

“That’s good to know. To be sent there to die… What did you say?!” Su Gu cleared out his ears, then looked at Shao Xuan, unsure what to ask.

“I said, I’ll go. Please talk to the king again.” Shao Xuan repeated.

Su Gu’s face was a bit difficult to understand, like his expression was saying “you’re an idiot”. However, when he saw Shao Xuan had already made a decision, he no longer advised him. He just sighed in his heart: The tribe people are really a bunch to die!

“But, let me say this first. Even if father has agreed before, if you can win against the fighting beast of Baishi, everything will be good, but he may not really agree to let you play. You know that we are not in good terms with the Baishi people. We lost one last year and father’s heart is in rage. This year, we will definitely send the more powerful slaves down or just let his riding beast go out. Otherwise, if we lost again, he’s going to get angry.”

“I get it.” If he was rejected again, Shao Xuan could only think of talking to him in another way.

“Aren’t you able to predict it? Can you predict what’s going to happen after the Colosseum opens?” Su Gu asked.
