At that moment, most of the Voidwalkers were debating about the question that Baiyi had raised earlier, coming up with a series of reliable and unreliable suggestions. Only the First Walker, the Archmage, noticed that his student was looking at the gold coin in a strange manner. So, he asked tentatively, "Oh? Didn't he just get a reward? Looks like there's someone who knows how to appreciate it. "
"That's not the point." Baiyi shook his head slightly and kept the gold coin back into his robe. Then, he continued, "There was a wisp of green Chi Prowess on this gold coin. It came from a Legendary Level Warrior but I've already erased it. What does this mean?"
"I admire your cautiousness and meticulousness, but I don't think this proves anything. Perhaps that person just noticed your strength and wanted to greet you. Your true identity couldn't have been exposed just because of this," the Archmage said in a serious tone.
Hmm, that should be the case. I'm a little too sensitive. Baiyi nodded his head inwardly. He recalled his previous performance and even he could not find any flaws in it, let alone a mere Legendary Level Warrior. That made him feel relieved. So, he continued, "Alright, let's listen to what these guys have to say next."
"Why don't you use my techniques? That's a very simple yet practical way of fighting. It's not only beautiful but it won't reveal any flaws! "The Caveman suggested confidently.
You better not join in the fun, right? Those techniques of yours are nothing more than slashing, slashing with all your might, slashing with both hands, jumping up and slashing with all your might, right? The main reason why you're able to dominate the Wasteland with these simple techniques and force the 30,000 Steppe Barbarians to not dare to take a step forward is because of your innate divine strength and the indestructible body that has been blessed by the Barbarian God. It has nothing to do with your techniques, okay?
Among all the 33 Voidwalkers, you're the only one who can't be imitated! Besides, are you sure that the audience will like this kind of simple and direct fighting style? I'm afraid that the effect of the performance will not be as good as before!
Just as Baiyi was at a loss for words, the great beauty, Undine, who was in the treasure chest of the Dole family, let out a soft sigh. The unsightly expression on her face eased up as she exclaimed in a surprised tone, "The strand of Chi Prowess that I left behind has been erased! What a careful and cautious fellow!"
Her black Soul Armature let out a triumphant laugh, "Hahahaha! Didn't I say that guy wasn't ordinary? Do you believe me now? Are you regretting that you didn't bet with me? The odds are as high as 1: 288! "
"I really don't lack that little bit of money." Undine replied snappily. Her eyebrows that had just smoothed out were knitted together again. She really did not care about the money. She was just worried about her Soul Armature's erratic personality. After so many years, it had not improved at all.
"Then how did you change your opinion of him? Didn't you think that the programs here are boring and that it's impossible to find someone you need? " The black Soul Armature continued to ask relentlessly, "Could it be that his perverted act of taking off his male opponent's clothes in public has triggered some kind of special fetish in you?"
"Shut up!" Undine snapped. Of course, the reason why she changed her opinion of Baiyi was not because of the boring act of taking off his opponent's clothes. Instead, it was because with her extraordinary eyesight, she vaguely saw the unnatural subtle distortion in the air when Baiyi swung his sword. It looked like a Chi Blade. However, the opponent was actually participating in the Intermediate Division? That inevitably aroused her curiosity. That was why she attached a strand of Chi Prowess to the gold coin when she generously tipped him, intending to further test him.
As soon as her little trick was seen through, her curiosity became even more intense. As a Legendary Level warrior with the title of Butterfly Saint of Swords, not only was she as beautiful and agile as a butterfly, she also possessed a strength that was considered outstanding among those of the same level. The fact that this black-robed Rogue Swordsman was able to neutralize her trick in such a short time proved that his strength met Undine's requirements.
With that, she sat down patiently and picked up a glass of red wine beside her with her callus-free slender hand. With a perfect and elegant aristocratic posture, she placed her slender legs on the sofa and crossed them, ready to enjoy Baiyi's upcoming performance.
Very soon, Baiyi entered the arena after another round of nagging from the host. At this time, the host no longer dared to boast about his opponent anymore. Instead, he focused on guiding the audience's expectations to see how many consecutive wins Baiyi would be able to achieve. Baiyi's opponent, a warrior with a sword and shield in his hand, exuded a kind of majesty and sternness that was honed from a long time on the battlefield. Even though he still had the title of 'The Immovable Wall', he was a completely normal opponent. He did not make any vulgar provocation nor did he have the weird behavior of sprinkling pig's blood on his body. Furthermore, his strength was already at the level of a genuine Advanced Level Warrior.
He was definitely a good fighter. After the Actors and the Butcher, the manager of the arena had finally chosen a normal person. This meant that they were finally serious and had sent a qualified actor. Baiyi almost felt touched.
That was why he decided to follow the advice given by the Thane. It was a palace sword duel that existed in the Thane's memory. On the stage of the highest standard, two of the best actors put on a wonderful fight that could be called an artistic performance. It was absolutely realistic and not exaggerated at all. Be it in terms of aesthetics or technique, it was impeccable!
Of course, in the eyes of the Thane, those two people were just actors. In fact, they also had the strength of a Master Level. It was more than enough for them to choose the techniques that those strong people would look down upon to deal with the Advanced Warrior in front of them. It was simply the best plan for the current stage.
Baiyi imitated those flashy but impractical sword techniques, brandishing his sword and striking all kinds of cool postures. He was locked in a stalemate with the Sword and Shield Warrior. Both sides exchanged blows, and the switch between offense and defense was extremely fast. The sound of metal clashing against metal, coupled with the sparks from the collision of the two swords, quickly ignited the passion of the audience. Cheers and applause gradually rang out as the fight became more and more intense. Even those who were booing Baiyi were slowly convinced by his performance, and they were not stingy with their cheers.
So, this cow, oh wait, I mean, Sven the Rogue Knight is actually this powerful? Looks like it was only because his two opponents were too weak that he didn't look good, right? Many people had the same thought in their minds, and it made them look forward to Baiyi facing stronger opponents and giving them a more exciting and exciting performance.
And so, the cheers and applause that were originally given to both of them gradually became only for Baiyi.
"Kill that iron tortoise! You're the best, Swordsman Cow! "
"I've already fallen in love with you! I love your name! I love your cloak!"
"Hurry up and use that gorgeous sword technique of yours to kill this idiot! I know you're still more than capable! "
These words inadvertently drifted into the ears of the opponent, making him feel very uncomfortable. In fact, after fighting with Baiyi for such a long time, he could roughly guess that Baiyi's strength was far beyond his. How did such a powerful guy manage to sneak into the Intermediate Level Arena? It made him particularly curious. However, what made him even more curious was that he could not figure out Baiyi's thoughts at all. There were many times when Baiyi could obviously kill him with a simple stab, but instead, he forcefully slashed horizontally instead. There were also times when his attack missed and it was a good opportunity for Baiyi to counterattack, but instead, Baiyi would jump backwards gracefully and forcibly miss the opportunity.
In short, the poor Sword and Shield Warrior felt like crying. He did not know whether Baiyi was here to compete or to perform. This is the arena! Not the Grand Theater! Please restrain your acting skills a little!
It couldn't be helped. When Baiyi wanted to be serious, he met two actors. In the end, when the opponent wanted to be serious, Baiyi himself became an actor …
Finally, the Sword and Shield Warrior could not stand the double torture of his body and mind. After his last attack failed, he decisively raised his hands and surrendered. Dejectedly, he left the stage. Before he left, he did not forget to give Baiyi a look full of resentment.
Why are you looking at me like that? You're not satisfied with my beautiful performance? Is there something wrong with your brain? Baiyi thought to himself. He could not quite understand the serious mentality of the opponent. Anyway, whether the opponent was serious or not, in his eyes, it was no different from an actor.
"The Rogue Knight has defeated the Immovable Wall and won three consecutive victories! He's on a killing spree! I've long known that this cloaked little man is not a mediocre fighter. His opponents in front of him are like little lambs waiting to be trampled on. His bounty has already risen to 40 gold coins. I wonder if he's willing to continue fighting? I wonder if we'll be able to witness the birth of 12 consecutive victories with our own eyes? " The host announced loudly. However, very soon, his voice was overshadowed by the cheers of the audience. The audience, who had been feasting their eyes, finally opened their money pouches and generously poured out their gold coins.
"That's more like it!" Baiyi looked at the coins that the attendants had brought to him. Even though the arena had taken away half of the money, there were still more than 100 gold coins left. Adding on the commission from the bets, even though he had fought for quite a long time, he had still earned quite a lot of money.
"I suddenly understand why the swordsmen liked to come to this kind of place to look for money!" Baiyi happily stuffed the gold coins into his robe. Then, he noticed that two of the coins were still covered with the green Chi Prowess from before.
