Chapter 325 (1/2)

The Battle Begins

When Shao Xuan returned to Fallen Leaves City, he asked Su Gu to request an audience with the Fallen Leaves Lord, Su Lun.

Knowing that Shao Xuan wanted to talk to Su Lun about Lei and Tuo, Su Gu immediately agreed. This was the least he could help with.

Ever since he reached here, Shao Xuan hadn’t been able to meet the lord. The lords of each city wouldn’t go to Beast Battle City like the other masters too. For a lord, to compete in those pits would be embarrassing, if they ever were to battle, only the arenas were fit for them.

The beasts representing Fallen Leaves City in the arena were placed on the other side of the station, separated from the other beasts owned by the other slave masters. Every day, professionals would train them and because of the direction of the wind, people on the other side of the city would not be able to smell the strong stench of blood. If one were to visit that area, they would be overwhelmed by it.

Su Gu went to visit Su Lun and came back soon after.

“Father is busy now, he won’t be able to meet you.” Su Gu told Shao Xuan frustratedly.

Shao Xuan furrowed his brows. Su Lun won’t meet him. He originally planned to ask Su Lun what he should do if he saw Lei and Tuo in the arena, it looked like this plan wouldn’t work.

Looking at Shao Xuan’s reaction, Su Gu continued, “Even though father won’t meet you, I already told him about Lei and Tuo. He said as long as you win against the beasts from White Stone City, he’ll handle the other matters, you need not worry about the trouble they’re giving you now.”

As Shao Xuan stayed silent, Su Gu assumed he had given up. After all, it was the arena, not everyone could compete in it. Even when slaves went down to battle, they were usually the strongest one their masters had. Every year, less than half of the people that went in came out alive.

When Dao Yu competed last year, many dismissed him and some even thought of him as a joke. The unexpected happened, in his battle with the beast from Fallen Leaves City. He got out alive and won the match. It was a big slap to the face for people from Fallen Leaves City. Rumours spread that Su Lun had sent an assassin to kill Dao Yu but not only did the assassin fail, he even got assassinated by Dao Yu’s men.

“Ugh, forget it,” said Su Gu, “If it were up to me, I would never compete.”

“I’ll go,” said Shao Xuan.

“That’s right, if you go you’ll surely die… Wait, what?!” Su Gu pulled his ears and looked to Shao Xuan.

“I said, I’ll go. Please tell that to the lord,” said Shao Xuan.

Su Gu was in disbelief, the words ‘you are an idiot’ painted all over his face, but seeing as Shao Xuan had already made a decision, he decided to not nag him anymore. He thought to himself, these tribesmen really aren’t afraid of anything!

“Yes, I know that.” If he got rejected again, Shao Xuan could only think of another plan.

“Can’t you predict the future? Can you predict what happens after the arena reopens?” asked Su Gu.

Shao Xuan shook his head. He tried it before but he couldn’t see anything. He only saw a mess with nothing substantial which meant that it was impossible to predict the outcome of this incident.

Su Gu once again went to Su Lun’s two-story house, prepared to face rejection from Su Lun. Surprisingly, Su Lun actually agreed and said he would make arrangments for Shao Xuan to compete in the arena later.
