Chapter 787: Chapter 617: The Champion is Here!_3
The man sat in front of Long Yi, and it was only then that Long Yi came back to his senses.
"I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel like withdrawing the heavy bet I placed on you," the man said.
"Oh." Long Yi nodded, showing little reaction.
"Aren’t you curious as to why I’ve lost confidence in you?" the man laughed.
"That’s none of my damn business." Long Yi was completely uninterested in people who tried to act cool with such topics.
Long Yi’s response was clearly beyond the man’s expectations, and one of his two followers frowned, about to step forward, but was stopped by him.
"You’re not curious, but I can tell you. As a warrior, it took you until I was close to detect me. If this were a battlefield, you would have been dead long ago," the man said.
"That’s none of your damn business." Long Yi glanced at him with disdain; the man’s face was fair, his hands soft. Although he was brimming with mana, he clearly hadn’t held a mage’s staff more than a few times. Talking about the battlefield? Just bullshit!
"I’m quite interested in you," the man said, ignoring Long Yi’s attitude.
"That’s none of my damn business." Long Yi couldn’t even be bothered to look at him.
"I think you should be able to please a girl I like."
Long Yi actually laughed.
"With what should I please her?"
As he spoke, Long Yi looked down at what was beneath him.
"Bastard!"
This time the short-tempered follower threw a punch directly but was still stopped by the man.
"It’s okay, warriors are naturally a bit hot-tempered. If you hurt him now, tonight’s match won’t be exciting," the man said with a smile.
Long Yi was speechless. How bored could this guy be, not to notice he was so unwelcome?
The follower snorted coldly, gave Long Yi a warning look, and stepped back.
"See, if I hadn’t stopped him, maybe you wouldn’t need to fight at all tonight."
The man spoke again.
Finally, Long Yi couldn’t tolerate it any longer. He stood up, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don’t know who you think you are, but let me tell you something—if you hadn’t stopped him just now, the next thing to explode would have been your head!"
"Really?" the man smiled confidently. "Are you sure you can handle us? Keep in mind, it’s not just me here."
Long Yi sneered, "The three of you; the six hiding downstairs; the twelve in the building across; and the two idiots hiding invisible behind me, I’ll crush you all into meat paste to feed the dogs."
Long Yi snorted in disdain and left the teahouse.
At that moment, the man’s face turned ashen!
"You two, come out!"
The man yelled.
Instantly, two figures emerged from their invisibility.
"Your Highness, the First Prince of Saint Cassio!" the two knelt.
That’s right! This man was Saint Cassio! Only now he had completely lost his previous confidence, clearly frightened by Long Yi’s words!
"You are my father’s Shadow Guards?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered us to secretly ensure your safety," one said.
"If it weren’t for Long Yi exposing you, even I wouldn’t have known!"
Saint Cassio let out a sigh.
Saint Cassio, having learned that Ai Lin, the Sanctuary mage, actually preferred fighting, took a different approach and came to the Stellar Realm Arena, deciding to purchase a few warriors here. This rising star who recently caught Saint Cassio’s attention seemed clueless about the ways of the world, and Saint Cassio had his ways to deal with such newcomers. He thought to give this Long Yi a little knock, then offer some guidance, and at the right time, reveal his identity as the prince of The Divine Auffa Empire. Wouldn’t this Long Yi immediately kneel before him?
But obviously, he had chosen the wrong person.
Long Yi’s strength far exceeded his expectations. Even though the two fighters with him were of the four major Arena levels, they were not the kings of the Arenas, much less the king of the Stellar Realm Arena!
Clearly, as a warrior, Long Yi didn’t consider them a threat at all. That’s why he only reacted when they came close—it wasn’t that he was distracted; he was simply not afraid!
"Hehe, no worries, I like fighters with character even more! What are you aiming for by becoming the star of the Stellar Realm Arena? Isn’t it to find a more suitable master to serve? Sooner or later, you’ll kneel at my feet!"
Champion’s Night attracted almost twenty thousand spectators, filling the huge Arena to capacity!
Originally, as a newcomer, Long Yi didn’t even have the qualifications to participate in the preliminary matches, but Lagera had specifically arranged a main event for Long Yi! His opponent was a previous champion of the Arena, a Mountain Giant!
Lagera’s idea was a good one; at first glance, Long Yi seemed to be a Mountain Giant, although he could wield both Fighting Aura and Magic. But he was supposed to be a Mountain Giant with a jumble of knowledge. A bout between Mountain Giants was sure to be spectacular; unrestrained collisions, a clash of immense forces. As one of the three main bouts before the grand finale, Long Yi would definitely ignite the atmosphere of the entire match!
Champion’s Night began, and one match after another took place, the bloody clashes igniting the enthusiasm of every spectator. After countless build-ups, it was finally Long Yi’s turn.
Long Yi walked out slowly, standing on his side of the Arena to immediate cheers from the stands.
But, when the over six-meter-tall Mountain Giant appeared, an even greater cheer echoed throughout the entire Arena!
Yes, the audience loved the Mountain Giant’s simple and brutal way of fighting! No tricks, just straight fighting!
"Oh, are you welcoming your champion?"
Long Yi began to speak, with Magic spreading his voice at just the right time. Lagera had already prepared for this, knowing Long Yi would definitely have something to say.
Long Yi continued, "You’re welcoming your champion, but it seems you’ve forgotten something. I said three days ago that as long as I stand here, you’ll never have a champion again! Do you know why? Because I’m going to ruin Champion’s Night! I will challenge every champion! I will become the champion of champions! After tonight, you will only remember one champion!"
"And that will be me!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
