214 Entering the Cage (2/2)

The clerk was certain that the news would instantly make others jump at the first opportunity to sign up to fight him.

And right he was. Only a few moments after, three people approached the table. All three were at the same cultivation level as Xue Wei.

One of them was a small but extremely fat man. He seemed as if he could roll rather than walk. His face sagged with more than five chins and his eyes resembled those of a pig.

Another one was skinny, very skinny. He was almost twice as tall as the fat man, but his body was so much thinner. He resembled a bamboo pole.

The last person was neither fat nor thin. He seemed to be healthy, lean but with muscle, and he dressed neatly. He had a small goatee and seemed rather calculating.

These three men saw each other at the same time and all of them seemed to be considering what exactly they should do. Running was below their dignity, but they did not want this fat sheep to be given to someone else.

As a result, all three sped up. Even the fat man managed to move rather fast contrary to one's expectations.

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes. Of these three, he felt the most danger from the fat man. Although he seemed the most useless of the three, there was a dangerous air around him.

Fortunately, he was not the first person at the table. The man with the goatee had reached the table first and slammed his hand down onto the table.

”I, your daddy, want to fight against that fat sheep!” he declared out loud, not caring that his highly provocative words could be heard by everyone.

One did not have to give their name when they signed up. No one used their real name in this place anyway, unless they had a strong backing like Li Chen or was a fighter like Lu Yuping with a long winning streak.

Where others disguised their faces and hid their names in the cave, this was the only place where Lu Yuping could be himself. As soon as he exited the cave, it was the other way around—he would become the one who had to use a fake name and a face mask.

What one had to do was to announce their current cultivation level. Then if there was another person within the same tier already signed up, then they would fight, if not that person would have to stand by the table until someone showed up, or until they released a Fierce Beast.

Xue Wei looked at the man who referred to himself as 'daddy' and smiled while shaking his head. This man seemed to be the least dangerous of the bunch. He seemed to be the most normal one of the three, and the air around him was also the least dangerous.

Still, Xue Wei did not relax. He understood that this man could be hiding his strength. He could, in fact, be a wolf in sheep's clothes trying to lure Xue Wei into lowering his guard.

”Enter cage number four,” the clerk said disinterestedly. This was a Fat Sheep. The amount of times they managed to defeat the opponent was limited, and the younger man seemed like he was nothing special.

At least, that was what he thought at first. When the clerk glanced at Xue Wei one last time, he saw that Li Chen and Lu Yuping both had walked up to him and were standing by his side.

This scene was seen by many, including the man with the goatee, who seemed as if he had just eaten a fly.

Everyone in the underground world knew Li Chen. The Intelligencer's right-hand woman and the one who held the most power in the entire black market, only overruled by the Intelligencer, whom few had the privilege to see.

The other person was Lu Yuping. He was known as one of the fiercest fighters in the entire cave. Everyone knew he was a Primordial Beast.

For him to have caught the attention of both Li Chen and Lu Yuping, was he really a fat sheep on the chopping block waiting to be slaughtered and robbed?

The goatee man was not willing to give up. This was a life and death battle. Xue Wei having an impressive background would not change the unforgiving nature of the cage.

News about their battle spread like a wildfire through the cave and suddenly people swarmed toward it in the hopes of getting a good spot from which they could watch the fight.

Everyone loved seeing fat sheep being slaughtered, but they loved something else even more. Witnessing a hidden dragon emerge was perhaps the best moments for the audience. No matter whether or not Xue Wei was a hidden dragon or a fat sheep, these experts would enjoy watching it.

Lu Yuping was worried. He kept worrying about how Xue Wei might be injured. Even Li Chen was worried now. She had never expected that Xue Wei had taken it seriously when she said that he should fight.

This was a life-and-death arena! Not some playground where one could withdraw.

But there was no turning back now. Xue Wei had to fight.
