Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1136: Chapter 196: A Battle to Fame

Si Xiaochun knew that the City Lord had always wanted to change the dangerous environment in Huangquan City, but had been constrained by a lack of funds.

So he wandered around Huangquan City, and indeed found a way.

As he spoke, Si Xiaochun took out a notice.

Ye Lingyue leaned in to take a look and saw a line of large characters written on the notice.

”Do you want to become famous, possess extraordinary spiritual artifacts, and achieve fame overnight? What are you waiting for? The underground arena competition makes your dreams come true; let you become famous with one battle.”

”How about it? Isn’t it very attractive?”

Si Xiaochun said smugly.

He had discovered these notices at the tavern, where many people were gathered around it, and he had to make quite an effort to snatch one.

Not only in the tavern, but similar notices were also found in bustling markets in Huangquan City.

In fact, for the people of Huangquan City, the underground arena competition is not unfamiliar, it is the so-called dark duel.

The worse the security and the more bandits there are, the more popular these underground arena competitions become.

Those who come to watch these arena competitions are often wealthy and powerful people from the Ancient Nine Provinces, who also gamble on these matches with extremely large sums of money, thus, those who win in the underground arena competitions often receive high bonuses.

Moreover, sometimes, to attract more participants to the underground arena competitions, in addition to bonuses, the organizers also offer special rewards.

”In these arena competitions, with every victory comes a high spirit stone reward, making money quickly. I’ve decided to participate.”

Si Xiaochun was eager to change the current state of the Changzhu Residence.

”The City Lord and the Old City Lord must have saved the entire mainland in their past lives to adopt such a good servant like you. Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret. But isn’t the underground arena competition dangerous? How confident are you?”

Ye Lingyue was moved by Si Xiaochun’s decision after hearing him out.

”My strength should allow me to last seven or eight rounds. If I’m lucky, maybe I can enter the city competition; just a few rounds in the city competition and I can win a big bonus, then I can buy a lot of materials to process Heavenly Sword Hemp.”

Si Xiaochun’s mind was already filled with imaginations.

Ye Lingyue shook her head, Si Xiaochun was being too naive.

There’s a saying: the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Just from looking at those rousing promotional words, Ye Lingyue could scent a heavy air of blood.

”Ling Yue, don’t just cheer me on. I actually told you this because I wanted to ask if you’re interested in participating with me?”

Si Xiaochun had been an obedient and law-abiding good child, a good servant, since childhood. Participating in such an underground arena competition still made him uneasy.

”I’ll support you in spirit, but as for participating together, sorry, I’m not interested.”

Ye Lingyue shrugged.

She didn’t want to stand on the stage, being treated like a gorilla, and fighting wantonly under the eyes of a crowd of frenzied spectators.

This experience, she had once in the Underground Yama City.

However, the skill of martial artists in the Ancient Nine Provinces was much stronger than that of the Qing Province Continent, and the underground arena competitions would presumably be even darker and bloodier.

”That’s a shame; it’s rare for the Heroic Society to offer such high bonuses and prizes this time. I’ve heard that among the prizes in the mixed-gender competition, there are even Heaven-ranked spiritual artifacts.”

As soon as Si Xiaochun finished speaking, Ye Lingyue’s expression changed, and she grabbed Si Xiaochun, almost scaring him half to death.

”What did you say? Did you just say this underground arena competition is organized by the Heroic Society?”

Ye Lingyue had nearly forgotten the name of the Heroic Society until Si Xiaochun mentioned it.

The Phoenix Token had been retrieved, but the Sky Wolf Stick and her Qiankun Purple Gold Bag were still in the hands of Qin Dong from the Heroic Society.

”Yes, the Heroic Society is the largest Demon Hunter society in Huangquan City and even You State. The underground arena competitions in Huangquan City and You State are all controlled by the Heroic Society. Ling Yue, from the look of you, you know the Heroic Society?”

Si Xiaochun was taken aback by Ye Lingyue’s demeanor.

Ye Lingyue usually appeared quite amicable, but as soon as she heard the Heroic Society mentioned, her whole body tensed up instantly, and that look in her eyes was frightening.

”I’ll join you in this mixed-gender competition, and we’ll split the prize fifty-fifty, but let me clarify: if the prize includes an item called the Sky Wolf Stick or the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag, it must go to me, and as compensation, I’ll give you an extra twenty percent of the prize money.”

Initially, Ye Lingyue had little interest in these underground arena competitions.

In her view, this arena tournament was no different from the ones in Yan City.

However, once it involved the Heroic Society, she couldn’t afford not to participate.

Since arriving in Huangquan City, she had lost contact with Elder Wan Yun, and hadn’t mentioned the disappearance of the Sky Wolf Stick to her.

But one thing is certain, the Sky Wolf Stick and Qiankun Purple Gold Bag are both in Qin Dong’s possession.

Qin Dong was a member of the Huangquan Heroes Society.

Ye Lingyue hadn’t been able to gather information on the Heroic Society, but unexpectedly, today, it presented itself to her.

She even had a premonition that the prizes in the underground arena competition might really include some of the things she had lost.

”Then it’s settled, we’ll head to the Underground Bank where the Heroic Society’s headquarters is located and sign up for the underground arena competition now.”

Si Xiaochun was delighted that Ye Lingyue so readily agreed, little knowing that her decision to sign up would cause quite a stir later.

”Wait, are you planning to enter the competition like this? It won’t be long before everyone in Huangquan City knows the loyal servant of the City Lord’s Mansion has become a lackey of the Heroic Society.” Ye Lingyue’s reminder immediately made Si Xiaochun come to his senses.

”What should we do then?” Si Xiaochun scratched his head.

The kid is so honest; he really doesn’t know how to hide his plans.

Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes, then looked at Si Xiaochun’s fair and delicate face, and a mischievous idea suddenly came to her mind.

Ye Lingyue went back into the room and fetched a set of women’s clothing and a piece of armor.

”Simple, we’ll disguise ourselves, and no one will be able to guess our identities.”

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Lingyue and Si Xiaochun, with completely new appearances, walked on the streets outside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Lingyue was wearing the armor of the Earth Evil Lord Gua Niu, looking like a burly big man.

She was unsure of Qin Dong’s status in the Heroic Society.

However, with this armor, she wouldn’t worry about encountering him.

On the other hand, next to her, Si Xiaochun looked uneasy.

He awkwardly tugged at his clothing, somewhat dissatisfied.

”Ling Yue, why must I dress like this?”
