Twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month
Just as old Xu won returned from the Tianxiang building, intending to wake up
Tang Luo, the young man who should have been asleep in bed, pushed the door
open and walked out.
“You're up so early today!” delightfully called old Xu win.
“I didn’t sleep.” Tang Luo replied with annoyance. After hearing about the
combatants with bloodline and Tang Sen, the First Head of the Martial Hall, he
had been up all night.
“Why didn’t you sleep?”
-Why bother lingering on sleep while living, for one will sleep for eternity after
death.” Tang Luo couldn't admit that he was stirred up but had to answer this
way.
After learning about the enhancement of fighting power resulting from the
awakening of the bloodline, he only felt an immense pressure. Fighters with
bloodline like Tang Sen couldn't be measured by the ordinary realm. In the future,
who could guarantee that he wouldn't encounter several such freaky fighters?
What would he do then?
A man with no far-sighted worries ends up having close troubles. As a good
young man who dreams of creating a future legacy, he suddenly felt the road
ahead was long. His original research plans had to be abolished. Since the
warriors in the Mortal Realm could just restore energy through their techniques,
he didn’t need to sleep anymore, right?
He was already at a disadvantage in talent, if he didn’t max out his efforts, it
would be so embarrassing to be defeated!
Old Xu win didn’t understand the complexities of his cousin's mind, only felt his
words made sense, and approvingly said, “So right! It's a waste to spend the
prime time sleeping, I need to note down this statement!”
-Why did you wake me up so early, is there anything?” asked Tang Luo.
“Oh, I'm planning to check the arena before noon. The challenge will start
tomorrow.” Xu paused, looking hopefully at Tang Luo.
Rubbing his aching head, Tang Luo asked, “Why do we need to go when we can
just tell the steward? Why do all these by ourselves?
As an outsider unfamiliar with the locale, Tang Luo didn’t think he could do it
better than the steward. Moreover, asking him was no use. Even though he was
raised in Xiling, he mostly only visited the Martial Hall and the sect in these
years. If he didn’t memorize the map of Xiling, he was really a blind man with his
eyes open. Therefore, he couldn't agree with Xu's plan to find the arena on his
own.
“This is the first challenge I set as the world traveler. It's of great significance!
How could I rely on someone else?” Xu's face was full of mysterious expressions
as if making fun of Tang Luo’s ignorance.
“Even if I go with you to look for it, we will still need the steward to take care of
everything else after we find it...” Tang Luo was a bit speechless, thinking that Xu
was being overly poetic. Didn't he even consider that although it was Xu who was
issuing the challenge venued in the ring, he couldn't take care of registrations,
schedule fights, refurbish the ring after fights, or maintain order? Could he just
step on the stage and start?
Having realized he couldn't handle everything by himself, Xu further insisted,
“After that is after that, I need to choose the arena myself!”
“Aren’t you my cousin? Aren't you going to help me?
And so, under the early-morning sunlight, Xu led Tang Luo on their journey to find
the arena.
Because they needed to prepare for the Xiling First Martial Arts Conference that
took place every ten years, all the champions of martial arts places were in a
state of ceasefire. They were focusing on preparing for the conference, leaving
only a few hopeless warriors to occasionally conduct insignificant fights.
Without a doubt, these kinds of games couldn't evoke the passion of the Xiling
audience. Therefore, all the martial arts places looked deserted. All they needed
was money, Xu could easily rent any martial arts venue.
With more than a dozen large martial arts places in Xiling, it seemed a bit difficult
to visit all in one morning. After reaching the sixth place, Tang Luo looked up at
the rising sun and said, “We should head to the Farmhouse to the west.”
When they arrived at the Farmhouse, they saw Mi Shen and Mi Hou together
with dozens of Mortal Realm warriors in green armor, standing on a grass field
outside the abandoned farmhouse, but Gong Zheng was nowhere to be seen.
The two of them stopped in front of Mi Shen and Mi Hou, their eyes meeting,
different emotions clashing as if trying to ignite a fire.
“Tang Luo! Hand over my servant now!” Mi Hou shouted angrily at Tang Luo, his
eyes filled with rage and shame, especially when he saw that only two people
appeared on the other side.
When he sent a servant back to the residence to inquire about Ding Gaolang’s
forces, he learned that the latter had run away with his family and Qiu Jinglong,
only leaving a letter.
Having lost the warriors who could ask, Mi Shen had to guess how many
subordinates to bring. Finally, for prudence, they brought as many as ten small
groups of Mortal Realm fighters. But who knew Tang Luo would only bring one
Mortal Realm peak guard, which made Mi Hou feel more ashamed and
emboldened.
Tang Luo glanced at the furious Mi Hou and chuckled, “You actually dared to
come, aren't you afraid that I'll break your leg?

“Puff” Seeing the other's performance, Xu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The harsh laughter reached Mi Hou's ears, making him blush with shame. He
pointed to Xu and roared, “Who are you! How can you dare mock me! You guys,
arrest him now!”
The awkward part was that the Mortal Realm warriors behind him seemed as if
they hadn't heard him at all, they didn’t move.
“Enough.” Mi Shen reprimanded Mi Hou and then turned his head to Tang Luo,
“We have brought the person, where is Li Shao Yuan?

Tang Luo narrowed his eyes and glanced at the burning sun overhead and said
nonchalantly, “It's not noon yet, what's the rush?”

Mi Shen's face immediately darkened, he coldly returned, “It looks like your sharp
tongue has seen little progress in a year.”
From his perception, Tang Luo’s presence seemed to not have grown compared
to when he was challenged by Jiang Lin one year ago, so he retorted.
just when Tang Luo was about to fight back, he noticed a giant lump in the grass
on the side. Two people broke out from the ground, it was Gong Zheng and Li
Shao Yuan.
It turned out they didn’t go back to the city, but hid under this meadow. They only
came out when they heard the noise..
