Chapter 102 - 100.3 : Initiating the Plan 2 (1/2)

”It seems the guest you invited is actually not bad, Senior Bai.”

Meyzu said that while having a smug look on his face, the disgrace he suffered earlier was returned when he saw Arthur's body sent flying out of the arena.

”Indeed, Senior Bai, that young man has a promising future, for him to cause Yun to be in such a miserable state is a great feat.”

Kilan, who was supposed to side with his Race, praised Arthur and completely disregarded Yun for he didn't care about Yun a lot, what he cared about most right now is appealing to Bai Lingyue and possibly gain a favor or two.”

He showed his usual friendly smile as he gazed at Arthur, who slowly stood up and went to the table he was sitting at previously.

Bai Lingyue didn't comment on this as his eyes were fixated on Arthur, who was making his way to his seat. He didn't appear depressed about Arthur's lost as his(Arthur's) face was expressionless without regret or unwillingness.

”Ha ha ha, I told you to back off earlier but you didn't heed my warnings, serves you right! It's for the strong people to fight and not weaklings like you.”

Yun's mocking voice rang in the silent garden, he looked at Arthur with eyes full of contempt and sneering. Although he was saying that, his appearance didn't look that good, to be honest. With wounds all over his body and most of his robe ripped apart from the thunder explosions, his exterior appearance couldn't be worse.

With Zodaik's black robe covering his body and head, Arthur silently sat on the chair and didn't speak a word, after a few seconds, he grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it in his mouth, he chewed slowly and the chewing sound could be heard as no one spoke and merely stared at him.

”Ha ha ha, he is an odd entity, although he lost, he is so calm. I wonder if you could introduce me to him?”

Granny Shishu had an interest in Arthur when she saw his skills with lightning. Despite being only basic lightning, he used it in so many manners and his prowess with it is unbelievable.

Her relationship with Bai Lingyue was very close so she rarely called him 'Senior' like the others as she was older than him and they were close friends. If he could introduce Arthur to her and this junior accepts joining her clan, it'll be beneficial to her.

”Would you believe me if I said I never talked to him or met him?”

With some kind of strange technique that allowed Bai Lingyue to speak with Shishu telepathically, he transmitted that to her with some a curious and surprised tone.

Granny Shishu frowned when she heard that, she didn't maintain her frown as to not alert the others and replied to him

”You do not know him? Then how come you said you invited him?”

She knew him for a long time and he would not casually things like that, especially to help or protect a total stranger.

”It's true, today is the first time I see him, however, that woman with the mask is the one I invited, she was supposed to be with a man but apparently he did not come such a shame.”

The sharp eyes of the old woman shifted from Azure Bai to Lucy, who was calmly sitting at a table in the area designed for experts and clan masters. She was sitting alone and wearing a simple dress and her appearance was average, or so the people thought but she had a stunning beauty under that mask. Shishu saw the silver hair and the real face of Lucy but she wasn't that surprised.

In high-Realms, beauties were everywhere, when women reach a high-realm, they can practice techniques that allow them to maintain their youth. There is treasures and ancient items that could do as well. Even Shishu used it back then but she aged after a long time passed as she didn't break through for a very long time which made her body age as well.

”Does they come from a high-Realm? That boy has a perfect control over the Lightning, it's even better than 'Miya'.”

”Even I do not know what their origin is, I met them at the Treasure Pavillon and we became friends then. I didn't see them fight but even without that they had many... many unique and special things about them.”

Bai Lingyue didn't say any details but just from the way he spoke, you know he gave them a high evaluation which surprised granny Shishu.

”Anyways, it is quite unfortunate that the boy lost, I guess the opponent was a bit too much for him to handle.”

Listening to her, Bai pondered about the last battle as was unsure of what happened, after remaining silent for a period of time, he spoke telepathically to her again.

”About that.... he should have won, I'm not sure if controlling Lightning like that consumes his Nether Energy at a very fast pace or if it's another thing, but I'm sure he could have won but....”

”But what?”

”... But he didn't. It's whether he purposely lost or he has a very weak defense to not withstand even a simple punch.”

Bai Lingyue put his hand on his chin and continued thinking about the fight while gazing at Arthur's figure. He simply couldn't believe that his assumptions are incorrect as he was never wrong to this degree. Unfortunately, the truth layed before his very eyes.

...

Yun sat cross-legged and recuperated some of his energy, the last battle was tough for him as Arthur was not some weakling, he only mocked him like that to not appear weak, he wanted to maintain his oppressive and arrogant attitude to display his might in front of the old ones.

After spending 15 minutes recovering and using some expensive Healing Potions he had in his storage, Yun changed his robe and wore another one which was exactly the same.

As he finished readying himself, he did not descend from the arena but looked at the top geniuses left from each faction, his gaze only focused the five of them.

One was the other genius of the Monster Race, the lich from the Undead Race and the three youths from the three clan alliance.

”I wonder if this Young Miss is free to exchange some pointers with me?”

Yun was gazing at the green-haired girl from the Lightning Fox Clan, he didn't recover fully but he could still fight so he chose his next opponent by challenging her.

Miya, who was silently sitting at a table with her friends was a bit startled to be picked first, however, she didn't show it on her face.

With a gentle smile, she nodded at Yun and said

”If Young Master Yun is fine with me then I would be glad to exchange some pointers with you.”
