Chapter 42 (1/2)

At the same time, many onlookers had gathered all around the massive battle ring. A portion of them carried a unique air of fierceness that differentiated them from the regular people. They were warriors.

At a tall stand even further away, magnates who were poised and well-dressed took their seats.

Some tourists had stayed back as well. They were all waiting expectantly and were all pumped up.

Right after Li Xun finished speaking, a group of people led by a young man walked up the massive battle ring in large strides.

The leader looked regal as he strutted with the stance of a dragon and tiger.

“Pardon me, ladies, but I need to meet up with my seniors!” Li Xun said.

“Run along, Senior Li!” Guo Yuanyuan quickly said. One look and she could tell that the people on the battle ring weren’t anyone ordinary. She quickly became excited.

Lu Yuling stared wide-eyed at the battle ring as well in slight wonder. While most girls would be bored with blood and guts, she was quite the opposite. She had always been very interested in such things.

She had zero interest in those fair-skinned and delicate guys that ordinary girls would usually like. Quite the opposite, she felt more attraction towards guys who were ripped and manly.

While she knew that Li Xun was trying to get on her good side, she did not feel put off by it.

Li Xun broke into a small run and quickly climbed atop the battle ring. He soon joined the other disciples of the Seven Incredible Sect. The man leading them was none other than Lin Sheng.

Once Lin Sheng saw Li Xun, he simply nodded his head coldly. Then, he instructed someone to bring two chairs and set them down at a corner of the battle ring.

After putting one of the chairs down, a middle-aged man, toned and well-built, walked up and sat in one of the chairs.

Many who were present recognized the middle-aged man at once. He was Hao Danfeng—Chief Elder of the Seven Invincible Sect.

Within the Seven Invincible Sect, his status was second only to the Sectmaster.

Everyone then turned to the other seat. No one knew who it was for, Did Lin Sheng prepare it for himself?

However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Sheng did not take the seat. Instead, he simply stood to the side.

“Could it be that the Sectmaster of the Seven Incredible Sect would grace the event personally as well?” One could not help but guess. That’s because, within the Seven Invincible Sect, the only one who could receive such esteemed treatment from Lin Sheng could only be his Master—the Sectmaster of the Seven Invincible Sect.

However, it was common knowledge that Lin Sheng’s Master would be roaming the grounds of the Inner Palace, protecting the leader of the Inner Palace. He wouldn’t show up for such a trivial event.

If he wasn’t waiting for the Sectmaster of Seven Invincible Sect, who else would be qualified to take the seat?

Just as they were making wild guesses, a young man slowly walked up the battle ring. Under the watchful gazes of everyone present, he sat at the chair as if he wasn’t burdened at all.

Everyone was stunned. Just who was that young man who dared sit on that chair? Didn’t he see that even Lin Sheng, who was a powerhouse that had recently become the talk of the town, dared only to stand?

“Who on earth is that guy?” The same thought appeared in everyone’s head.

“Isn’t that Lu Xuan?” Lu Yuling couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Lu Xuan, so she turned to ask Lu Yuanyuan, who was standing beside her.

“That’s him. He must be crazy. That seat be reserved for an important guest of Senior Li’s sect. How dare he sit there?!” Guo Yuanyuan was filled with shock, which quickly turned into disdain. “He can’t read the air at all. I bet he’ll be shot down in the battle ring humiliatingly!”

From how Guo Yuanyuan saw it, Lu Xuan sitting there without any regard for the situation was just inviting disgrace upon himself.

On the other hand, some worry flashed past Lu Yuling’s eyes. Those men could break into a fight when given the slightest trigger. The consequences of offending them would be dire.
