Chapter 92 Sleeping Beauty
“Chen?” Sikong Xinrong said with a surprised face.
“Grandpa, I have just reached a new stage, and after this mission I will be a Tier Nine fighter. I will soon become a senex,” said Sikong Chen with a gentle smile.
The members of the Sikong family looked at each other with happy faces.
Sikong Chen was not here, but if he was and he heard this news, he would not be happy. Obviously Sikong Chen had now taken his place in the Sikong family.
“Chen, that’s awesome! I heard that the senex of the Society has quite some power.”
“Of course, there are only three senexes in Oakland.”
The senexes of Old School Society were in charge of various matters. What’s more, there were countless businesses in various industries under the Society. After all, the society depended on these financial sources for its survival. Once he was promoted to the position of a senex, he would have a say in the businesses in his district, and his words would bear a heavy weight.
Chen had a limitless future, Sikong Xinrong thought to himself.
Sikong Chen looked smug as he enjoyed those pleasing words from his family.
‘Today, the whole of Oakland will know my name!’
At this time, almost all the eyes in the field focused on Duan Jia and Sikong Chen, yet of course, there were also a few curious eyes that were looking at Song Linger.
At this time Song Linger was holding a bowl of snacks, and her mouth was all stuffed. She just looked like a soft, cute little beauty, and no one could imagine that she defeated a Tier Six fighter from Old School Society yesterday.
Today Xiao Shun told her that she didn’t have to be in the ring, so her task today was to watch the show, and win some money.
Not long after, the fight officially began.
The current defender was Tian Bin, a young man about twenty-four years old and with a thin build. He was dressed like a peacock, and he had a cunning look in his eyes.
Tian Bin had gone through many challengers while he remained on the stage, so his strength was obvious.
As Hou Chenghe said, on the high tier stage was simply a group of freaks, so at this time not many people dare to get on the stage to challenge him. Everyone turned their attention to Sikong Chen and Duan Jia.
The purpose of Duan Jia’s visit was to assist Song Qingzhou, whose task for tonight would be considered completed as long as the champion was not Old School Society, so he was not in a hurry.
At this time instead, a middle-aged man in a green robe flew up and landed on the stage.
“I am from Temple Of Imos, and my name is Xuan Qi.” The middle-aged man bowed and said.
Temple Of Imos was also a very noteworthy power. They had all kinds of talents, and Xuan Qi was one of the famous ones. A cheer immediately erupted from around the stage.
“Master, who do you think will win?” Song Linger asked as she swallowed the snack in her mouth and wiped the corner of her mouth.
Hou Cheng and the three people in front of him also leaned backward to listen carefully.
“If we talk about their stages alone, that Xuan Qi is much better, but Tian Bin must have a reason to stay on the stage for so long. So I can’t say.” Xiao Shun said.
“Oh, then I’ll stay out of it for now.” Song Linger said.
“Mr. Hou, this young man is not as good as you say I am afraid.” Wen Guangliang laughed lightly.
Hou Chenghe could only laugh dryly.
“It’s still early. No rush.”
The three of them then betted on Tian Bin according to their own judgment, but they didn’t bet much money either. Just three million.
Tian Bin was the defender, and he had already been tested quite a few times. It made sense that everyone would be more optimistic about his victory.
After they placed their bets, they could not increase their stakes during the fights.
The lowest ticket price this time was one hundred thousand, so most of the people who were willing to pay to come in and watch the game were all the richest. The stakes quickly added up, and for the first game it was already more than three hundred million at stake.
Soon they saw two shadows colliding on the stage, and the people around the stage didn’t even have time to blink.
But after a dozen rounds, that Xuan Qi seemed to slow down a lot, and his movements began to be a little sluggish.
Just now when Xuan Qi just got close to Tian Bin, he smelled something strange, but at first he had not yet noticed anything unusual.
But after a dozen rounds, he felt a burning sensation in his chest, he felt difficulty using his energy, and his eyelids became heavy. He immediately realized that he might have been poisoned, and that strange smell just now should be some kind of poison.
They had rules for these fights. No weapons or poison were allowed on the stage.
How dared Tian Bin use poison like that? And no one thought there was a problem after so long? This was simply impossible. How could the previous challengers not find out?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Xuan Qi had so many questions.
With his strength, he sure could notice all subtle movements of his opponent, but he didn’t find anything unusual.
“Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong with Xuan Qi? It feels like he’s going to fall asleep at any moment.” Long San wondered.
“It is ‘Sleeping Beauty’. It is a kind of flower that can make people feel intoxicated. If I’m right, that Tian Bin has been taking this toxin since he was a child. He has a special body that allows him to absorb and use the toxin produced by Sleeping Beauty. Normally he looks just like any other men, but once he gets into a fight, he uses his energy to get the toxins out of his body. When his enemies smell these toxins they will feel tired and sleepy. They might even hallucinate or just die.” Xiao Shun narrated.
“Nasty!” Song Linger said after she heard him.
“This is not nasty. This is his natural talent. Everyone wants to become stronger, and he just found the right method for himself.” Xiao Shun laughed lightly.
On the stage, Xuan Qi knew he would have a sure defeat and just took the opportunity to jump out of the battle. Although he was resigned, he still politely bowed and said.
“I concede my defeat.”
Tian Bin grinned, “I like your candor. That’s good, since I don’t have to throw you off the stage. That would be embarrassing.”
Xuan Qi’s face turned scarlet, as if he was drunk, and he stumbled off the stage.
There were various voices around the stage. Those who won the bet were happy, and those who lost could only sigh.
“Anyone else?” Tian Bin shouted as he stood on the stage and swept his gaze around.
There was a moment of silence around the stage.
“I heard Old School Society is here. Will you come up?”
Tian Bin was smart. He knew that his biggest enemy today would be that Sikong Chen of Old School Society.
As long as he could defeat Sikong Chen, probably no one would ever dare to come up to challenge him again, and he could save the trouble dealing with those dumb heads.
At that, the eyes of the crowd around the stage all turned to Sikong Chen in unison.
Since Tian Bin had said so, there was no way he could stay out of it any longer.
Sikong Chen slowly got up, revealing a light yet proud smile, and leaped lightly before he landed on the ring.
As soon as he got on the stage, a near-crazy cheer immediately erupted from below.
