The Top 100 Arena

The Top 100 Building. It was established by the academy specifically for the top one hundred students; anyone not on the rankings was forbidden from entering. Today, the day of the monthly rankings update had arrived. On the third of every month, the Top 100 Rankings underwent a comprehensive update. Those who entered the Tengkong Realm were struck from the list, and those over thirty years of age were pruned. Successful challenges that occurred on regular days were recorded, but the roster was not updated immediately; everything was tallied together at month's end, and the updated list was published on the third. It was now eight in the morning. Today was a rest day, yet even so early, a massive crowd was surging outside the Top 100 Building. Outside the building stood a gigantic arena ring. Beside the ring stood a colossal, crystal-like monument. The previous month's Top 100 Rankings had already been wiped clean. As the crowd surged, light shimmered across the crystal monument, and many people craned their necks in eager anticipation, waiting for the new list to appear. "It's coming out soon!" "Is Zhan Hai still there? Has he entered Tengkong yet?" "Did anyone age past thirty last month?" "I heard quite a few students on the Top 100 Rankings were challenging upward last month. Liu He, the freshman who enrolled last year, seems to have advanced several spots!" "..." Quite a few older students were present as well. Though they could no longer compete for the rankings once they passed thirty, watching the spectacle was still enjoyable. Some former Top 100 students who had aged off the list still had not reached Tengkong, and coming here allowed them to reminisce about their former glory. ... In a corner of the crowd. Lin Qing and Wu Lan stood together, gazing at the crystal monument not far away. Lin Qing did not look pleased. Wu Lan stole a few glances at her and said, "Sister Qing, are you all right?" "I'm fine!" Frowning as names surfaced one by one on the crystal monument, Lin Qing exhaled softly and said, "My rank last month was probably ninety-eighth. We'll see if anyone ahead of me aged out or broke through to Tengkong; maybe I can climb a few spots." She knew her ranking from last month, but she wasn't sure how many people had left the list. With that, Lin Qing gave a cold snort. "If Zheng Yunhui dares to challenge me, I'll show him that no matter how strong a freshman is, he's still just a freshman!" Rumors had been circulating that Zheng Yunhui might challenge her. Although she wasn't currently in dead last, ninety-ninth and one-hundredth were two older students on the verge of turning thirty who had fought tooth and nail to break into the Top 100 just last month. Everyone speculated that Zheng Yunhui wouldn't target them. In that case, she, Lin Qing, was naturally the prime target. Wu Lan didn't mind either way. If a challenge came, so be it. She would have loved to challenge someone too, but her cultivation wasn't sufficient. Looking around, Wu Lan didn't spot Su Yu and remarked in confusion, "Su Yu actually didn't come. Isn't he going to issue a challenge?" "Su Yu?" Lin Qing knew of him, and she raised a brow. "He wants to challenge too?" "I don't know. He's already at Qianjun Sixth Layer... well, I don't know if that's true. When I asked him, he said he wasn't." Wu Lan felt frustrated. Exactly which layer of Qianjun was he at?! It was utterly baffling! "Qianjun Sixth Layer..." Lin Qing said gravely. "His progress is certainly fast. But advancing so quickly means his martial techniques won't be seasoned, and his willpower won't be particularly strong. If he wants to challenge the Top 100 Rankings right now, he's still lacking the heat!" Inwardly, she felt somewhat aggrieved! She was considered a genius as well, having studied under Wu Qi for five years. Yet after five full years, she had barely managed to fight her way onto the Top 100 Rankings, only to have so many people eyeing her now, which made her feel thoroughly uncomfortable and irritated. She wished she could instantly charge into the top fifty to show these bastards that they couldn't even reach her to challenge. Just as they spoke, someone shouted, "It's out!" "Zhan Hai is still first!" "Jiang Mu actually reached third! Wanshi Seventh Layer!" "..." Everyone looked toward the crystal monument. The script on it was large, and Lin Qing soon spotted her own name. Rank ninety-five! Meanwhile, there were only ninety-seven people on the roster in total. Three people were missing—whether due to age or advancing to Tengkong, the board did not explain. Seeing only ninety-seven names on the roster, many people grew excited! "Three people dropped out!" "Here's our chance!" Realizing there were three vacant spots, quite a few people were thrilled. According to customary rules, whenever the Top 100 Rankings had fewer than a hundred people, unranked students did not need to challenge ranked ones. An unranked student simply paid ten merit points, fought another unranked challenger, and the victor reclaimed their merit points while directly entering the Top 100! As for the loser, their merit points were not awarded to the victor; they were confiscated by the academy. Of course, if one challenged an existing Top 100 student, the loser's merit points were awarded to the ranked student as a reward. Seeing that the roster wasn't full, several people immediately dashed toward a small window by the Top 100 Building to register, prepare for a challenge, and claim a spot. Yet before many could even reach it, a roar erupted from the arena ring. ... Zheng Yunhui leapt boldly onto the ring and shouted, "What's the rush?! Let yours truly get on the list first by knocking one down! Then two more can come and each knock one down, and the list will be full! You bunch who don't even dare challenge the lowest-ranked members on the Top 100, are you daydreaming about getting on the list?" This guy was extremely arrogant! In a single stroke, he offended a huge crowd! His underlying meaning was obvious: the rest of them didn't even have the guts to challenge a Top 100 student, yet they fantasized about sneaking onto the list just to pad the numbers. They were all trash, and he wouldn't give them the chance! Zheng Yunhui couldn't care less what they thought. Looking at several figures around the ring, he laughed. "Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng... and has Su Yu arrived yet? Come play! At the very least, let's fill the academy's Top 100 ourselves! Are we really going to let a bunch of trash get on the list and humiliate us?" Below, Wan Mingze and the others wore faint smiles without uttering a word. They let him fan the flames as much as he pleased. Zheng Yunhui didn't care either, shouting at the top of his lungs, "The Class of 350 is the strongest class! As for the ones ahead of us, heh, aside from being older, they probably don't have any other merits!" The moment these words fell, the faces of several ranked students in the crowd turned dark. This bastard was far too arrogant! You haven't even made the list yet! Zheng Yunhui couldn't care less what they thought. Looking around once more, he laughed boisterously. "What's the point of being unconvinced? Everything I said is the truth! I won't waste words on you either. Is the person ranked ninety-first here? If you are, get up here! Yours truly either doesn't fight, or fights straight to the absolute limit!" Freshmen like them were allowed to challenge up to ninety-first place at most. Zheng Yunhui completely ignored the ranks behind that; if he was going to fight, he would fight number ninety-one! "Too arrogant!" "A freshman so arrogant isn't afraid of being beaten half to death and bedridden for months!" "It's normal; he's from the Zheng family! He came out of the War Academy system—his muscles are more developed than his brain!" "..." The crowd buzzed with discussion. Just then, Su Yu finally arrived. He had gone back to wash up, change his clothes, and eat something before hurrying over. Hearing everyone's chatter and looking at Zheng Yunhui on the stage, Su Yu chuckled. He really was arrogant! Quite good! Zheng Yunhui was a fellow who was hard to read at times. If anyone truly thought he was all brawn and no brain, they were thoroughly mistaken. His arrogance depended heavily on his target. As Su Yu was pondering, Zheng Yunhui also spotted him in the outer circle, dressed in fluttering white robes. What a show-off! Zheng Yunhui cursed inwardly! The academy uniforms came in many colors: black, white, gray, and green. He was tall and burly, and white looked awful on him, so he had always worn the black academy uniform. Su Yu, just like Bai Feng, was an insufferable show-off who wore white. He looked bright and sunny on the surface, but his belly was packed with wickedness! Paired with that smile, he looked sinister no matter how one looked at him! "Su Yu, once I make the Top 100, do you want to come up and give it a try?" Seeing Zheng Yunhui suddenly call him out, Su Yu couldn't help but smile, waving his hand. "Stop messing with me. Brother Wan and the others are right here. Yunhui, I haven't offended you, so don't keep trying to stab me in the back!" "Tch!" Zheng Yunhui scoffed in disdain. Nearby, Wan Mingze and the others saw Su Yu, also smiling and nodding slightly. While they were chatting warmly, the older students were nearly bursting with fury. This year's freshmen were simply too arrogant! This was supposed to be the older students' home turf, yet the freshmen were chatting and laughing, acting as if nobody else existed. It was thoroughly infuriating! Right at that moment, a young man stepped forward from the crowd and said, "Since Junior Brother Zheng wants to challenge, I will gladly grant your wish!" "Wang Peng!" "He's here! I thought he hadn't come. Great, Wang Peng, beat this guy to death!" Someone shouted loudly! Wang Peng was ranked ninety-first, at Qianjun Eighth Layer and peak Yangxing. The so-called peak Yangxing meant willpower fullness had surpassed ninety percent; all such individuals were considered peak Yangxing. The weakest combatant on the Top 100 Rankings possessed battle strength comparable to the Wanshi Realm. Their physical bodies might not be overwhelmingly powerful, but they generally possessed several trump cards. Zheng Yunhui glanced at him and grinned. "Wang Peng, right? Get up on the ring! As for the merit points, let's talk after you beat me! Though I expect you won't have the chance to take them, and I couldn't be bothered to run over and pay first!" Far too arrogant! Clearly, this guy didn't believe he could lose in the slightest. ... Meanwhile. In a corner. A few figures in long robes and cloaks huddled together, appearing rather mysterious. Beneath those cloaks, had their appearances been exposed, many would have gasped in shock. Some had horns growing from their foreheads, while another simply had an ox's head. Some had fine fur on their faces, while others had pointed ears. Students of the myriad races! Watching Wang Peng take the ring, one of these myriad race students chuckled softly. "The Great Xia Civilization Academy's... Top 100 Rankings... feel rather weak!" Rather weak! A physical body at Qianjun Eighth Layer and a Yangxing cultivation whose combat power was merely comparable to Wanshi, but... it truly felt quite weak. Even if this was only a ranking below the Tengkong Realm, right now, neither Zheng Yunhui nor Wang Peng seemed impressive in their eyes. "Weak? Not weak at all!" Another offered a fair assessment. "The Human Realm has many academies like this. In the Great Xia Prefecture alone, there are dozens! This ranking is only for those under thirty years of age, not the entire Human Realm, so don't get them confused! The true measure of the Top 100 Rankings lies in the top ten; it's quite normal for the lower ranks to be weaker." "I heard the top ten all possess the strength to battle Tengkong experts. I wonder if that's true." "If the entire Human Realm can gather a hundred people under thirty who can all battle Tengkong, is that still weak?" Once those words were spoken, the other students fell silent. Anyone who could battle Tengkong was a monster, no matter where they were. For the Human Realm to easily produce a hundred such talents meant they were far from weak! How could a member of the top ten races be feeble? The Great Xia Civilization Academy was just a single institution. "Then are we going to challenge?" "Wait a bit longer. Let's see if anyone higher up takes action!" The students of the myriad races conversed in low voices. Nearby, two old men yawned, looking thoroughly bored. These myriad race students were too cautious! Just charge up! If you think they're weak, go fight them directly and draw out a few of the top ten—that would actually be entertaining. How boring was this? They still wanted to observe. What were they waiting for?! ... While they were speaking. On the ring, a Lingyun Realm referee appeared. Looking at the two who had already mounted the platform, he said solemnly, "Zheng Yunhui, are you certain you want to challenge the ninety-first-ranked Wang Peng?" Every battle for the Top 100 Rankings was presided over by a referee. Zheng Yunhui said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm certain!" "You may concede, and you may leap off the ring! Unless there is mortal danger, the referee will not intervene if you do not concede or leave the ring! If you are severely injured, do not blame us for failing to warn you beforehand!" Zheng Yunhui laughed boisterously. "If I can beat him, why concede? And if I can't... well, of course I'll concede!" "Booo!" Below the stage, a chorus of boos rang out. Dammit, to say that so shamelessly—he wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself at all. ... The clash for the Top 100 was about to begin. Just then, another person appeared beside Su Yu. Xia Huyou arrived, excitedly saying, "Su Yu, who do you think will win?" "Zheng Yunhui, probably." Su Yu smiled. "Both are Qianjun Eighth Layer, but Zheng Yunhui is a descendant of a Shanhai Realm powerhouse after all. I think his odds are better!" "Really?" Xia Huyou chuckled slyly. "As long as he wins, it's fine. If he wins, I can pocket several hundred merit points..." Su Yu stared at him. When had this guy opened another betting pool? "Don't look at me. I didn't set up the pool this time; their fight came together too quickly. I placed a bet on him with someone else!" Su Yu nodded, feeling a slight itch. Should I place a bet too? Forget it, he was afraid the academy would bust the operation. Then he would take a massive loss! He didn't have many merit points left to begin with. "Su Yu, do you plan to challenge someone today?" Su Yu ignored him, looked around, and asked, "Did Yang Sha come?" "Yang Sha?" "Instructor Liu's student. Didn't I hear he challenged the Top 100 Rankings before? The rankings aren't full today, so isn't he coming to try?" Xia Huyou clicked his tongue. You're something else, still keeping him in mind. "He's here, over there!" He pointed at someone below the ring and whispered, "You plan to get him?" Su Yu smiled. "What kind of talk is that? Am I that sort of person? Go ask him, or egg him on a bit, to see if he's willing to fight me. It'd be best if he actively challenges me and I passively accept. If he can cough up several hundred merit points, even better. Ninety-ten split in my favor, how about it?" Xia Huyou looked at him and gasped. "Several hundred points? Do you really think everyone is rolling in wealth? Though come to think of it, that guy actually is pretty loaded!" Pausing, he whispered, "Then I'll go give it a shot. Do you really want to fight him? Isn't it a bit immoral to constantly target Liu Hong's side to fleece them?" "..." Su Yu stared at him. Immoral? Did you even have any morals to speak of? Xia Huyou was speechless. What kind of look was that?! "Fine, fine, fine, I'll go try. A ninety-ten split it is!" He trotted off toward the other side. Su Yu paid him no further attention; whether Yang Sha accepted or actively challenged him didn't matter. The Top 100 Rankings... were indeed a fine thing. Certain secret realms could only be entered by students on the Top 100 Rankings, which Su Yu knew well. Now that he had mastered a Heaven-rank martial technique, he had no intention of keeping too low a profile. When it was time to display his prowess, he ought to display it. And just as Su Yu was thinking this through. The battle began! ... On the ring. Though Zheng Yunhui sounded careless, in reality he was not careless in the slightest. As the referee called "Begin," Zheng Yunhui's body instantly expanded! This was an art of the Zheng family. Su Yu didn't know the exact name, but when Zheng Yunhui grew in size, his strength truly surged tremendously. "Die!" Accompanied by a shout laced with a sonic attack, Zheng Yunhui's sonic kill divine talisman erupted, while the "Slaughter" divine talisman simultaneously attached itself to his long saber! Aperture after aperture was ignited! Blood qi soared to the heavens! Killing intent and blood qi blended together. Zheng Yunhui went all out from the very start without holding back in the slightest, his eyes wide and brimming with murderous intent! His momentum was overwhelming! Before the battle began, momentum reigned supreme; with superior momentum, one held a three-tenths advantage. Opposite him, Wang Peng was also a seasoned fighter. With a soft grunt, a rapier materialized in midair—a cultural weapon! The slender blade shot forward like lightning, aiming straight for Zheng Yunhui's navel. That was where the Zifu aperture resided. Pierce the aperture, shatter the yuanqi! Zheng Yunhui seemed entirely indifferent. Exerting force through his feet, he bounded into the air, his massive frame descending like a great mountain as he brought his saber down with both hands! Wang Peng frowned. While manipulating his cultural weapon, he shifted to the side. The slender sword darted toward Zheng Yunhui's Zifu once more. A veteran combatant, Wang Peng calculated where Zheng Yunhui would land after dodging, his figure flickering as he appeared at that exact spot, throwing a direct punch! Striking in advance! According to his experience, Zheng Yunhui's dodge would cause him to land right here. That punch would land squarely on his chest, snapping several ribs! ... "He lost!" Below the stage, Su Yu sighed softly upon seeing this. Why look down on your opponent? Zheng Yunhui wasn't someone who had never tasted blood; he was someone who had truly killed people. Su Yu had felt it last time—he was ruthless enough to himself, and crucially, he possessed a healing-type divine character. Wang Peng's choice couldn't be called wrong; he had simply underestimated Zheng Yunhui's ruthlessness. Sure enough! Just as Su Yu muttered those words, a flicker of disdain crossed Zheng Yunhui's eyes! With a squelch, the slender sword pierced into flesh, yet it did not reach the aperture. Zheng Yunhui simply clamped the rapier tight with his abdominal muscles. His movements didn't alter at all, as if he had merely been pricked by a toothpick. Frowning slightly, he brought the long saber crashing down! A strike delivered with everything he had! Wang Peng was throwing his punch right then, but it hit empty air. The moment his fist struck out, his expression changed drastically, and he desperately tried to dodge, but it was too late! Yuanqi erupted in an instant! The long saber had already fallen. With a deafening boom, it shattered his yuanqi defense and slashed down! Gasps rang out from the crowd! The referee was about to intervene, but with a quick glance, he halted immediately. The back of the blade! Then there was no need. *BANG!* A thunderous impact sounded! The back of the blade struck the left arm. With a sickening crack, the arm bone snapped, and Wang Peng was sent flying. With another loud thud, he crashed heavily to the ground outside the ring, his left arm drenched in blood. Even though it was the back of the blade, the strike had shattered bone and pulverized flesh! Only then did Zheng Yunhui land. He casually yanked the slender sword from his abdomen, tossed it beside Wang Peng, curled his lip, and grumbled, "Ninety-first? More like nine hundred and tenth! Not even as good as Su Yu—I won with a single swing! The Top 100 Rankings? Heh!" His tone dripped with scorn and mockery! You poked me with a little toothpick and thought I would dodge? What were you dreaming of! It didn't even pierce all the way through my flesh, and even if it did, what was the big deal? A bit of blood trickled down his abdomen, but light flickered faintly across his body, and the wound sealed shut in an instant! Total silence! Many stared dumbfounded at Wang Peng lying on the ground. Defeated just like that? A Top 100 student! Beaten by Zheng Yunhui just like that? It wasn't that he couldn't lose, but this defeat was far too swift, far too humiliating! He truly had been swatted away with a single blow! ... Below the stage. The expressions of the older students shifted constantly. Several Top 100 students also looked grave, one muttering, "That idiot Wang Peng overestimated himself!" He had relied too much on his own prediction! He thought Zheng Yunhui would definitely dodge, never imagining the man wouldn't care about the cultural weapon's sneak attack at all. Straightforward and brutally simple, a single swing had completely overwhelmed Wang Peng! If Wang Peng had only... There were no ifs! He was defeated! "Sonic kill, slaughter, healing, Qianjun Eighth Layer, body-strengthening martial technique..." Someone mentally summarized Zheng Yunhui's capabilities in an instant. He was indeed formidable, though at best on par with Wang Peng. It was only that Wang Peng had overestimated himself and underestimated his opponent in their initial clash, leading to such a disastrous defeat. ... On the ring. Zheng Yunhui chuckled. "I won, so am I ninety-first now? Here I thought I'd meet an opponent who could give me a thrill. What a disappointment! Ah well, that's enough for today. I don't have to accept challenges today, right?" The referee glanced at him. This kid was genuinely arrogant! "No. Newly ranked students may refuse all challenges for three days!" "That's great!" Zheng Yunhui hopped down from the ring with a grin, not sparing Wang Peng a single glance. Looking at Wan Mingze and the others, then over at Su Yu, he chuckled. "They're so weak, aren't you guys going to come up and play? The ninety-first dropped to ninety-second, and the ones behind him are even weaker!" The moment these words fell, Lin Qing and several others turned utterly green! Insolent! ... Lin Qing looked furious, while Wu Lan took it as a matter of course, whispering, "Sister Qing, you guys are so weak!" "..." Lin Qing nearly choked with rage! I haven't even stepped onto the ring—what do you mean 'you guys are so weak'? That idiot Wang Peng had humiliated them all! Just then, Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng, and the others exchanged glances and smiled. Wan Mingze was just about to speak when an enraged shout suddenly rang out from nearby: "Su Yu, do you dare step onto the ring?" At that moment, a figure leapt up from below and landed directly on the arena! Glaring down at Su Yu, he shouted angrily, "I heard that you insulted my teacher at the Divine Character Competition?" "Yang Sha!" "What's his deal?" "Su Yu insulted his teacher... I seem to recall that. At the Divine Character Competition, Su Yu apparently said he hoped Teaching Assistant Liu Hong's ability to teach students was as great as his other abilities..." "What other abilities? Hehe, those words... carry quite a bit of subtext!" "What else could it mean? He was talking about Liu Hong's shamelessness, what else!" Quite a few people knew about this incident. Many had attended the Divine Character Competition, and Su Yu had indeed spoken those words during the event. Of course, Liu Hong had been the one to pick a fight with Su Yu first. However, for Yang Sha to use this as a pretext to cause trouble for Su Yu was quite natural; Su Yu truly had intended to humiliate Liu Hong. Many turned to look at Su Yu, their eyes filled with curiosity. There was certainly plenty of drama today! Having just stepped down from the ring, Zheng Yunhui glanced at Yang Sha, then back at Su Yu, and suddenly laughed. "Su Yu, even trash like this dares challenge you? Are you keeping too low a profile, making every random piece of garbage think they're stronger than you? Isn't that embarrassing!" Yang Sha's face flushed crimson instantly! Livid! Zheng Yunhui, how dare you humiliate me like this! Meanwhile, Su Yu, clad in his fluttering white robes and looking exceptionally sharp, frowned slightly and said, "Is this Senior Brother Yang? Calling it an insult is going a bit far. What transpired between Instructor Liu and me is already known by those who should know, and understood by those who should understand! Why would a freshman like me go out of my way to offend a teaching assistant for no reason?" Yang Sha ignored Zheng Yunhui and glared coldly at Su Yu. "A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime; in the academy, a teacher is a student's parent! I won't bother dissecting who was right and who was wrong between you and my teacher. I only know you claimed you wanted to experience my strength, didn't you? Then I shall grant your wish—get up here!" He didn't bother hiding his stance. Whether Liu Hong was right or wrong, he didn't care; standing by family over reason was just that simple! The Single Divine Character Faction and the Multiple Divine Characters Faction were already at odds, so it was only natural for Liu Hong to stir up trouble. Su Yu watched him without saying a word. Yang Sha sneered, "Doesn't the outside world say you love money? That you lack cash and are dirt poor! Coming from Nanyuan, being poor is only normal! Step onto the ring. If you beat me, I'll give you a hundred merit points. If you lose, you don't have to give me anything—just kneel down and apologize to my teacher!" "Kneel down and apologize?" Su Yu frowned, looking at him with a faint smile. "An apology is fine, but kneeling... isn't that crossing the line? Senior Brother Yang, I don't provoke others, but no one should think they can bully me either. Are you certain you want to make trouble for me?" "Cut the crap! Are you getting on the ring or not?!" Yang Sha was fuming! The words Xia Huyou had whispered to him earlier had stoked his fury to a boil! Su Yu was far too arrogant! To openly humiliate his teacher and humiliate him—detestable! Of course, he had his own little scheme. Before anyone else stepped up to compete, if he defeated Su Yu, by the rules, he could fill the vacancy and claim ninety-ninth place on the Top 100 Rankings. However, this opportunistic method did not grant the right to refuse challenges for three days like a regular newcomer. If someone challenged him afterward, he would have to accept the fight and win to keep his ninety-ninth position. Even if he fell off the list in the end, his record would still boast that he had once entered the Top 100 Rankings at ninety-ninth place! That was enough! Using this opportunity to challenge Su Yu meant no one would dispute it. Avenging an insult to his teacher was a deep grievance, making his challenge completely justified! "One hundred merit points..." Su Yu calculated inwardly. Not bad, that wasn't a small amount. Before entering the Top 100 Rankings, he might as well earn whatever he could. Without another word, Su Yu walked slowly onto the ring. Wan Mingze and the others instantly perked up with interest. Not only them, but more people gathered at the perimeter of the crowd as Huang Qifeng and his circle arrived, all turning their eyes toward Su Yu. Very well, let Yang Sha test the waters! Although Yang Sha hadn't previously entered the Top 100 Rankings, his attempt to challenge a ranked student had ended in a narrow defeat. He was among the strongest students outside the rankings. Even if Su Yu possessed great talent, having been enrolled for such a short time, could he truly be stronger than Yang Sha? Having just arrived, Huang Qifeng smiled and remarked flatly, "If he loses, he's just trash! If he wins, it works out perfectly—he can enter the Top 100 Rankings. That's fine by me; I actually hope he wins!" Winning would be for the best! If Su Yu truly lost and couldn't even make the Top 100, the game would lose all its fun! The people beside him chuckled. Not far away, Chen Qi frowned as he looked at Su Yu. If you win... you'll be in serious trouble! Yet if Su Yu lost, Chen Qi would feel deeply resentful. If Su Yu lost, it would mean he was inferior to Yang Sha. Chen Qi and Yang Sha had both been preparing to challenge the Top 100, their strengths roughly equal. If Su Yu had defeated him only to lose to Yang Sha, Chen Qi would truly have no face left! And that had been Su Yu from an entire month ago. ... As Su Yu stepped onto the ring, he felt a slight touch of emotion. Two months! The Top 100 arena! It was faster than anticipated. He truly had to thank the Single Divine Character Faction for providing him with such an abundance of resources—he was profoundly grateful. Hopeful that today, he could reap even more. After all, he was out of money.
