Chapter 171 A Former Master Of Wonder Realm (Part Two)

With a jar in his hand, he was only busy with drinking alcohol all through, as if alcohol was the onlything around. He even did not spare time to cast a look at Darren, which angered some audience.However, Darren remained calm to assess the opponent. At first, Darren used his spiritual sense tofeel the strength of that man, then his eyebrows twitched in surprise.

Feeling amused, he suddenly realized how powerful he was. Of course, he would not be tasked forthe ninth game if he was not powerful, but his abilities still surprised the young lad. The man infront of him used to be a master of Wonder Realm. Then caused by injury or other factors, hiscultivation base turned back to the top level of the Mysterious Realm. To Darren, he was someonerespectable and powerful enough, unlike what the audience perceived.

“This kind of person is indeed very hard to deal with. This is going to be a long fight, * Darrenthought worriedly.

His fighting skill, physical fitness and cultivation method were much powerful than those of acultivator in the Mysterious Realm. That was not an easy thing to obtain as it was something to beproud of as a cultivator. You can never judge a person by his appearance.

Although his cultivation base reduced for some reason, he was still a superb fighter. Despite thedrunk-man act he portrayed, Darren could still know how powerful he was. It was an advantage forhim.

'I still need to fight him. I need more of the reward so I must win. I am wondering if he can useOmnipotent Talent Skill. If he could, it would be difficult for me to defeat him. It is way beyond myabilities. I have to at least use my Blood Dragon Illusion to fight against him, * Darren thoughtcarefully. Gladly that he could contemplate about the situation as the middle-aged man was stillidling.

Then it occurred to him that the man who broke the record yesterday was also pretty strong. Darrencould not help but be anxious.

"No, I need to win. This fight would waste my energy to a large extent, thus to win the tenth onewould be much harder for me. I cannot lose just like that.” Darren felt stressed for the first timesince he came into the arena. He felt threatened and intimidated even though the fight was yet tostart.

"I just don't understand what are you young men thinking. You guys always make money withoutworrying about the danger. How is the ending going to be? To die richly. How hilarious,”

said that middle-aged man with his eyelids lowered. His weary voice revealed traces of life, long lifeof battle experiences. Darren knew that the man had gone through a lot so he must not beunderestimated.

"Sir, with all due respect, you seemed to be wrong about me. You are mistaken. I am not doing thisfor money. I hope you can go easy on me. I would be very pleased if you do 50,"

said Darren as he made a bow with hands folded in front. The crowd was confused with his gesture."Go easy on you? Ha. Are you kidding me? Finish the journey you chose even if you should walk onyour knees, right? You are the one who is mistaken. Remember, the one who pins his hope onother's mercy cannot make old bone..."

said the man drunkenly. His words knocked some senses to Darren.

"You are right. Let's get started! No need to beat around the bush. You and I must fight until the lastof our breath!"

said Darren. That man’s preach was unexpected because Darren was just trying to be nice before.There was no room for hesitation.

On the Stand

"Darren is a great seeded player. Uncle Harvey, how about recommend him to Grunkle? He qualifies,right?" said Eva as she stared at Darren enchanted. She was enticed with Darren's physique andbraveness.

Harvey standing next to her shook his head and said, "He has gained such a good cultivation baseat such a young age. That indeed means he is endowed by nature with unusual intelligence. Iacknowledge his skills now. He is something unordinary. But Eva, he even dares to challenge theformer master of Wonder Realm just for money. Don't you think that he is a little bit self-conceit?This kind of person usually cannot live long in a world full of masters with that attitude. How greedyhe could be. Besides that, he won't be able to survive in this fight unless that winebibber showssome mercy. I am certain of that. He would never defeat that drunk man easily.”

"You are right, Uncle. He still has a long way to go. To be admitted by Heavenly Palace Sect is notthat easy. Maybe Darren is still not up to the standard,” Eva nodded. She thought that UncleHarvey's words were quite reasonable. However, Jaya was thinking differently.

"Mr. Gu and Miss Eva Gu, please do not forget that this young man could master sword intent andblade intent at the same time. He is overwhelmingly strong when he burst out his sword intent andblade intent at the same time. That is something worth commending for. Let us not judge him toomuch and enjoy the fight," said Jaya, his slender eyes fixed on the arena. No expression could beread on his eyes. Was he supporting the young lad?

His words reminded them that this young man should not be taken lightly, making Eva and Harveysurprised with his comment.

'Will he be able to defeat the former master of Wonder Realm? I hope he won't die at this rate, ' Evawondered, revealing the look of infinite expectation and slight worry.

On the other hand, after thinking about something with knitted brows, Harvey said, "Go and lowerthe price ceiling of the bet on Darren.”

They laid odds of one to twenty on this fight, and the highest amount that people were allowed tobet on Darren was eighty thousand ink stones.

Despite the drunk man’s facade, his power was known to a lot of cultivators. Otherwise, he wouldn'thave once entered the Wonder Realm if he was nothing. So most of the people tended to bet onthe winebibber, but there were still many people who chose to make a reckless move and bet onDarren, as they were entertained with his previous fights. The price ceiling of Darren was pretty high.If he won, the Prison Battle Arena would need to pay at least twenty million ink stones. That was aheavy loss to the arena.

"Darren told me to bet on himself on every fight with the highest price. Now he has won 1.6 millionink stones. If he wins this time, that would be another 1.6 million ink stones," said Jaya as his gazewas focused on Darren.

"Ha. How feisty. That boy really feels good about himself,"

Harvey hissed. On second thoughts, he ordered again to reduce the price ceiling of Darren to fortythousand ink stones, in case Darren would really win and the arena would lose too much money.At the arena, Darren was already poised for a big fight. On the other side, something like truculenceflickered over the winebibber's eyes after he took a few shots of spirits. Darren could not help butbe alert and tightened his guard.

The ninth fight was about to start, and the crowd gradually fell into silence with anticipation.
