Chapter 76 The Death Battle! (2/2)

Dumbass asked, somewhat befuddled, ”What? What did you say?”

”I'm asking if you want to learn martial arts from me?”

”Can... Can I smash such a big stone like you?”

Xiao Bing raised an eyebrow. ”Of course.”

”Are you taking me in as your disciple?”

Xiao Bing laughed. ”We are friends. But I can teach you martial arts.”

”I... I want to learn... Brother Bing, you're so kind. I want to learn martial arts from you.”

Xiao Bing said, ”I can only teach the wise, not the stupid.”

”I am not a fool!”

Dumbass wasn't lying. After teaching him, Xiao Bing realized how talented he was in learning martial arts. However, the principle between Concealing Strength and Clear Strength stages were very different. It was not a matter of a day or two for even the best talent. Xiao Bing predicted that Dumbass could somehow step into the initial state of the Concealing Strength stage in another half a month.

Xiao Bing felt more relief with a master of concealing stage around. He let Dumbass go on practicing alone. Xiao Bing came to the hospital to talk with Li Chunlan and told her about the progress of the noodle house. Li Chunlan had been very happy and beaming since the expansion. This noodle house was her lifetime dream. She didn't think that although she was ill, it was carried forward in other people's hands. Moreover, the way she saw it, Xiao Bing was likely not an outsider...

For three days, Xiao Bing's right hand was practically useless. He was expected to let his whole arm rest for a few days but time was running out. Soon, the day of the death battle finally arrived.

Xiao Bing didn't tell Su Xiaoxiao about the death battle because she didn't have the need to. Tonight, many people arrived at the city's north underground arena. Nearly half of the VIPs of the underground world of Jiang City were here. The real master here was the North Heaven Queen Peony Fairy and the master of the underground world in Jiang City was Master Hou.

Master Hou, members of the Ye Family, the North Heaven Queen, and the others occupied a high platform. Behind Master Hou was a cold-looking and tall man. Behind the Peony Fairy stood a squat man as well as a young girl in her early twenties in green clothes. Beside Ye Bancheng were Ye Xinyi, Ye Tianming, along with several bodyguards.

Besides Master Hou, the Ye Family and the Northern Heaven Queen, there was a man with a face mask and dressed in a Peking Opera costume sitting there. No one could clearly see what he looked like because of the mask that he was wearing. The only visible thing was a pair of uncomfortable, feminine-looking eyes.

The Peony Fairy said with some disgust, ”Paint-face, can you not stop putting on such a feminine and eccentric appearance? Every time I notice your eyes, I feel like there's a thorn on my back.”

The masked man smiled. When he was smiling, he actually gave people the same feeling as an opera singer. Particularly, he would hold up his little finger while talking. ”Peony Fairy... Our four Heaven Kings are an alliance. Look... I'm the only one here today for such a big event. Shouldn't you be thanking me instead?”

Master Hou was still so gentle and kind. His eyes were calm and he glanced at Peony Fairy and Paint-face that flanked him. With a smile, he said, ”Paint-face, don't sow discord. The four Heaven Kings are an alliance. The other two Kings have other commitments today. With the both of you, the North Heaven Queen and East Heaven King in attendance, it's already lively enough.”

Master Hou looked at Ye Bancheng and chuckled. ”Who do you hope will win today, Mr. Ye?”

Ye Bancheng betrayed no emotion on his face. He smiled faintly and said, ”I'm here today to see the excitement. Peony Fairy is a person I have heard of for a long time while Xiao Bing is my junior. Naturally, I want to be impartial. It's just that sometimes some misunderstandings are best solved through better methods. Why push it so far by doing a life-and-death battle fight?”

The Peony Fairy flashed a perfunctory smile. ”I'm afraid you don't know much about it. This is a decisive life-and-death battle. There's no taking it back once it has been announced. The most taboo thing for those in the gangs is to break promises.

Ye Bancheng frowned and said nothing else. But Ye Xinyi, who was sitting next to him, was excited. She couldn't help looking forward to the battle, thinking that the man could be killed during this challenge.

At this moment, Zhu Mingyu was already standing on the arena. Paint-face smiled and asked, ”Why isn't that man here yet? Did he get cold feet?”

Ye Xinyi smiled at Paint-face. ”You don't know him. Xiao Bing has a tough character. I don't think that he knows what the word 'afraid' means.”

Paint-face glanced at her before looking at the arena again. His gaze become a little strange.

”Here he is.”

It wasn't sure who said that. The audience watched as Xiao Bing and Yezi strode in from the gate hand-in-hand. The whole arena became heated with excitement!
