Chapter 152 - Dont Let Him Leave The Arena Alive (1/2)
Qin Feng sneered in disgust at the cowardly bunch but made no effort to stop them from leaving.
Right around then, the manager who went off to make arrangements for their match returned, only to realise that Xin Jiasheng, one of the fighters, had vanished.
It was not just him that had disappeared but the rest of his goons too, leaving Qin Feng standing by himself in the middle of the hall.
The manager who was famous for sucking up to members of the Xin family wore a troubled look on his face. He looked over at Qin Feng in contempt. “Where’s Young Master Xin?”
“He ran off!” replied Qin Feng.
The manager couldn’t understand why the young master would do such a thing. Though, it did not take long for him to come up with a plausible explanation using his imagination. “Is it because of your crappy stats? You’re scared out of your wits right now, I presume? I bet you pulled out of the fight with Young Master Xin at the last minute.”
“Hoho!”
Qin Feng ignored the manager’s disrespectful words. Since he was already here, why not fight a few matches before leaving?
Qin Feng had been running short on liquid assets recently, so with his abilities, he should be able to get a sizable amount of reward by the end of the day.
With this in mind, Qin Feng submitted his application.
Ding-Dong!
[Your battle number has been logged into the combat pit. Currently selecting an opponent fighter!]
Since the manager had completed the arrangements for their match, an empty stage had been reserved and was ready to be used. Coincidentally, an opponent was matched with Qin Feng not too long after he put forth his submission for a new match.
[Your class is F6-tier. Ability rating, Hero-class. Your opponent is also an F6-tier participant with four consecutive wins. Your enemy’s battle number is XXXX. Each victory will grant you 1 point. Reward for the first match is set at 5,000 yuan. Your assigned stage, number three!]
The reward was mediocre. In fact, it might even result in a net loss for Qin Feng. He still had to pay for occupying the stage. No matter how long or how short their match was, the participants still had to fork out 10,000 yuan for using it.
Even if Qin Feng were to win the match, he would face a loss of 5,000 yuan.
Leaving the great hall, Qin Feng, with Bai Li trailing behind, walked over to stage number three. Perhaps because of the special treatment of Xin Jiasheng by the manager, the first ten stages were the type that was twenty meters wide.
Qin Feng did not have to wait long for his opponent to arrive.
He was a burly-looking man with a grim look on his face. Clutched in his veiny hand was a giant axe that shone with a purple hue under the arena’s lighting.
Just a glance was enough for Qin Feng to deduce that his opponent was an ancient warrior who engaged in parallel training.
However, his opponent’s raw strength remained unknown. Still, Qin Feng took note of the fact that the man already had four consecutive wins under his belt. One more victory and he would be able to challenge higher tier fighters and thus, reap greater rewards!
Too bad, his opponent of today was Qin Feng.
“Engaging!”
“After you!”
Qin Feng unveiled his own blend of ancient warrior combat tactics.
With just a few swift steps, he dodged a wide-arcing attack of his opponent.
Qin Feng’s speed in the ring was exceptional, owing to his absorption ability, which boosted all of his stats equally.
Dodging the attack, Qin Feng went straight for his opponent’s exposed sides.
Raising his hand, a fist then travelled through the air with such speed that a sonic boom could be heard as it barrelled toward the opponent’s waist.
The sudden attack startled the man, who underestimated how nimble of a fighter Qin Feng was. He quickly withdrew his arm and, drawing out his internal strength, he focused on increasing his own speed. In just a split-second, the face of his giant axe came down to block the attack.
Clang!
The axe that was struck by Qin Feng’s fist rang out like a metallic drum. The formidable internal strength of both fighters clashed, resulting in ripples forming around the area of impact.
The burly man could physically feel a massive wave of energy surge into him through his axe, almost overwhelming him. His hands, which could not withstand the entire force from the impact tossed aside the axe.
“Such a powerful force!”
“C’mon, let’s go again!” Qin Feng said with a slight grin.
After crushing a series of rookies for the past few days, he had finally stumbled upon an opponent that could take all of his force, an opponent that was worthy of his powers. The opponent, Qin Feng, started releasing, bit by bit, the powers contained within his body.
He was desperately thirsting for some exercise to warm-up his body.
It soon became clear after the battle had started, that the match was entirely a one-sided fight. Qin Feng threw ten or more punches, all of which were taken without resistance by the man.
