Martial Arts are Too Involuted, and If You are Not Careful, You Can Quickly Pass the High Martial Arts

21: Xuantan shows his power and becomes the king of the arena!”Ninety-one consecutive wins!”

”Ninety-two consecutive wins!”

”Ninety-three consecutive wins!”

”...”

”Ninety-eight consecutive wins!”

”Ninety-nine consecutive wins!”

”Contestant Great Sage has achieved his ninety-nine consecutive wins in our Hundred-Faced Arena!!!”

Inside the Hundred-Faced Arena, the host’s cheers, amplified by the microphone, instantly resounded throughout the entire arena.

”Great Sage! Great Sage! Great Sage!!!”

”Hahaha, fight for me!! I bet a full one hundred thousand great xia currency on Great Sage becoming the Arena King, and this time I’m making a killing!”

”Damn it, if I had known Great Sage was so awesome, I would have bet on him too.”

”Hmph! It’s just ninety-nine consecutive wins. To achieve one hundred consecutive wins and become the Arena King, he needs to challenge an Arena King. I predict this Great Sage will surely fall at the last step!”

The audience members spoke one after another.

Inside the arena, Ye Chen wore a monkey-face mask, holding a standard longsword, and calmly looked at his half-dead opponent lying on the ground.

Before him, a System panel slowly appeared in Ye Chen’s line of sight.

”name: Ye Chen”

”cultivation: Blood Refinement Warrior (37/100)”

”Xuan Tan Breathing Technique: Entry (20/100)”

”Ninefold Azure Sky Step: Entry (20/100)”

”Heaven and Earth One Sword: Entry (20/100)”

”Azure Wave Sword Art: Minor Achievement (60/100)”

”The progress is a bit slow. After all, these spectators are just ordinary people, and for my current self, the improvement is ultimately a bit sluggish.”

”However... once the College Entrance Examination arrives... the progress of my Martial Arts Breathing Technique will experience a terrifying surge!”

A faint glint flickered in Ye Chen’s eyes.

The College Entrance Examination... would be broadcast globally, facing both ordinary people and Martial Artists across the entire Great Xia.

At that time... as long as he displayed powerful talent, he would surely be able to advance several levels.

However... the College Entrance Examination was still some distance away, several months in the future. For now, it was best to steadily improve his strength.

”Next... it’s time to challenge the former Arena King!”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, filled with a hint of anticipation.

”The Arena Kings of the Hundred-Faced Arena are at least Blood Refinement Fifth-Layer. Although I am only Blood Refinement Fourth-Layer, I am only a small step away from Blood Refinement Fifth-Layer. Plus, the Second-Tier Breathing Technique I Cultivate is even more powerful than that of ordinary Blood Refinement Warriors!”

”And with Second-Tier Martial Arts... even facing a Blood Refinement Sixth-Layer Martial Artist, I dare to fight!”

Ye Chen’s heart surged with excitement.

At this moment, the host on the high platform spoke loudly.

”Contestant Great Sage has achieved his ninety-nine consecutive wins. May I ask Great Sage, will you continue to challenge and claim your title as Arena King!!!”

As the host’s voice rang out, everyone’s gaze fell upon Ye Chen.

”Continue!”

The faint voice fell, yet it was like a bomb, instantly igniting the entire venue.

”The Arena King presiding over our Hundred-Faced Arena today is White Tiger, who became an Arena King two months ago!”

”Let’s welcome... White Tiger!!!”

The host’s passionate voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire arena.

”White Tiger!! It’s actually White Tiger! I saw the battle when White Tiger became the Arena King. Two months ago, White Tiger was already a Blood Refinement Fifth-Layer expert!”

”I didn’t expect it to be White Tiger. It’s said that White Tiger has Cultivated a First-Tier Martial Arts to Major Achievement. Even Martial Artists of the same Realm don’t have much chance against White Tiger.”

”Hiss, in two months, White Tiger must have become even stronger. Great Sage, this time, it might be a bit risky!”

When the host revealed the Arena King’s identity, many people’s faces showed a hint of shock, and those gamblers who had placed their bets on Ye Chen became even more flustered at this moment.

”It’s over, it’s over. It’s White Tiger. What about my bet!”

Some gamblers even felt dizzy and their expressions turned grim.

”White Tiger?”

Ye Chen stood still, his eyebrows raised slightly, his gaze directed towards the iron gate of the arena.

Although the iron gate was tightly shut, Ye Chen could still feel an extremely powerful Qi fluctuation from within it.

It was as if... it were a true fierce tiger.

”To dare to use the name of White Tiger... I just wonder if your tiger can compare to my Xuan Tan!”

Beneath the monkey-face mask, Ye Chen’s lips curved slightly upward.

A tiger is the king of beasts. A tiger over twenty-four years old can be called a Mountain Lord, and only over thirty years old can it be called a Xuan Tan.

Tigers that can live past thirty years old... are all kings among tigers.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

Suddenly, a series of low sounds resonated within the arena.

Immediately after, the tightly shut iron gate instantly opened, and a burly figure, wearing a white tiger mask, slowly walked in.

A bloodthirsty aura emanated from his body, a terrifying aura that only those who had experienced countless life-and-death situations could emit.

”Great Sage? Just a mere monkey!”

White Tiger looked at Ye Chen before him and sneered.

”It’s truly a case of ’when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king’!”

White Tiger laughed, and a violent fluctuation of Qi instantly surged from his body. Blood-colored light enveloped White Tiger’s body, as if shrouding him in a layer of blood-colored armor.

”This aura... is already at the Peak of Blood Refinement Fifth-Layer, not far from Blood Refinement Sixth-Layer. Moreover, being able to become an Arena King in the Hundred-Faced Arena, his combat power within the same Realm far surpasses other Martial Artists. At least... he is comparable to a Martial Artist who has just entered Blood Refinement Sixth-Layer.”

Ye Chen felt the powerful aura emanating from White Tiger, and his eyes beneath the mask also emitted a strong Battle Intent at this moment.

”Perfect... I’ll use you to test my true combat power!”

Ye Chen let out a low cry and, in an instant, charged towards White Tiger.

Having experienced so many battles in the Hundred-Faced Arena, Ye Chen already possessed incredibly rich combat experience.

Striking first... is always the stronger move!

A faint light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, and the aura of Blood Refinement Fourth-Layer Peak also surged out at this moment.

”Blood Refinement Fourth-Layer? And yet he dares to covet the Arena King title. He truly is a monkey!”

White Tiger felt the aura emanating from Ye Chen, and the disdain in his eyes grew even stronger.

He raised his palm and fiercely struck towards Ye Chen.

Fierce Tiger Crushing Palm!

Vast Qi instantly surged from White Tiger’s body, carrying a powerful might, and instantly charged towards Ye Chen.

”You’ve only learned a bit of the tiger’s superficial tricks, and you dare to call yourself White Tiger?”

”Today... I’ll show you what a true fierce tiger is!”

”Xuan Tan!”

Ye Chen roared, and then the Qi in his body let out a series of rumbling sounds.

Vaguely, it seemed as if a true fierce tiger was indeed gestating within Ye Chen’s body, letting out a deafening roar towards White Tiger.

Roar, roar, roar!!!

A terrifying roar suddenly exploded.

The sound waves enveloped White Tiger, and in just an instant, a wave of fear surged into White Tiger’s heart.

Enveloped by the emotion of fear, White Tiger instantly fell into a state of absentmindedness.

And it was precisely at this moment... Ninefold Azure Sky Step!

Ye Chen’s figure instantly left a series of afterimages in the arena, and in a flash, he appeared directly in front of White Tiger.

The standard longsword in his hand was swung out fiercely.

Heaven and Earth One Sword!!!

Pfft!!!

In an instant, a bloodline exploded on White Tiger’s chest, and blood spurted out along the location of that bloodline.

Even the mask on White Tiger’s face split into two at this moment.

”You...”

Under the intense pain, White Tiger finally regained his senses, but at this point, everything was too late.

Thud!

White Tiger couldn’t even say anything, but his entire body had already fallen straight backward.

His entire being... had already lost its Life Qi!

In an instant, the entire arena fell into a dead silence.

”White Tiger... was actually instantly killed!”

It was only after several breaths that a trembling voice could be heard from the audience stands.

Immediately after, overwhelming cheers instantly filled the entire arena.

”Great Sage!! Great Sage!! Great Sage!!”

”Hahaha, I knew it, I knew Great Sage would become the Arena King!!”

”How terrifying, someone like White Tiger was actually instantly killed!”

A series of voices rang out in the arena.

This is how places like arenas are: whether it’s an Arena King, a ringmaster, or an ordinary contestant, as long as you’re alive, people will cheer for you.

But if you die... everyone will forget your existence, and even... despise you!

And Ye Chen stood quietly in place, with lines of text appearing before him.

”Slaying the False Tiger, Xuan Tan is very happy, proficiency +5!”

”Ninefold Azure Sky Step’s lips curved slightly, proficiency +5!”

”Heaven’s One Sword has gained some insight, proficiency +5!”

”Azure Wave Sword Art is very angry that the host never used it, working even harder, proficiency +10!”

”cultivation progress +1!”

As the text appeared before his eyes, Ye Chen’s lips also curved upward beneath the mask.

”name: Ye Chen”

”cultivation: Blood Refinement Warrior (38/100)”

”Xuan Tan Breathing Technique: Entry (25/100)”

”Ninefold Azure Sky Step: Entry (25/100)”

”Heaven and Earth One Sword: Entry (25/100)”

”Azure Wave Sword Art: Minor Achievement (70/100)”

”Azure Wave Sword Art is about to reach Major Achievement, only thirty more points of progress are needed. I’ll strive to reach Major Achievement before heading to the Opportunity mentioned by Teacher Zhang!”

”As for cultivation... with the training room in the Hundred-Faced Arena, breaking through to Blood Refinement Fifth-Layer should be easy.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly, then glanced at White Tiger’s corpse, but without any lingering attachment, he turned and left the arena, leaving no trace.
