In the spectator stands of the Battle Arena, Walnut and her master had followed Lu Ye's message and entered this place. They immediately saw Lu Ye preparing for battle below.
When she turned to look at Lu Ye's opponent, Walnut couldn't help but be startled. "Why is he challenging the third ranked person?"
According to the information she had, Lu Ye was only ranked seventh on the Yue Yao Battle Roll. Thus, he should be challenging the sixth ranked person this time.
However, for some reason, the gap was so large that he had skipped quite a few people in one go.
She checked the information on this third ranked person, and immediately remembered. "It's the Shi Tribe's Tian Yan."
She had never seen Tian Yan before, but she had heard of his great name. This was because he had the title of Eternal Third in the Yue Yao Battle Arena. In other words, he had always maintained his third rank in the Yue Yao Battle Arena. It had been many years, and his rank hadn't risen, nor had it fallen.
This was because he had defeated all the cultivators who had challenged him, and he didn't have the ability to defeat the two people ranked above him. Thus, he had always maintained his third rank.
"Master, which side should we place our bet on?" Walnut was a little troubled. Although she thought very highly of Lu Ye based on the results of the previous battles, Tian Yan wasn't an ordinary Yue Yao. If he didn't have some strength, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his title of Eternal Third.
Walnut wasn't sure whether Lu Ye was a match for Tian Yan. If she placed the wrong bet, her Asura Seal would be reduced to nothingness.
She naturally had to be cautious.
When the woman heard this, she said, "Since we're going to bet, then let's bet big. We'll bet everything on that Lu Ye."
Walnut was worried. "But Master …"
"No buts!" The woman cut her off, and said earnestly, "Little Walnut, I've taught you for so many years, yet you still don't understand. The most important thing in gambling is the process. Don't think about the results. If you think too much, you won't have the fun of gambling."
Walnut cursed in her heart. 'It's precisely because of this that you often lose everything you have.'
However, she knew her master's temperament. Since she had decided to place her bet on Lu Ye, this undoubtedly meant that even her master didn't think highly of Lu Ye. Thus, she could enjoy the nervousness and excitement of waiting for the results.
Should she place her bet on Tian Yan? In this way, no matter who won, one of them would be able to reap some benefits.
Just as he was thinking this, his gaze suddenly landed on the battle arena below. Tian Yan's expression was a little strange.
At this moment, Lu Ye was casually standing in the middle of the sealed Battle Arena. Looking left and right, she saw Walnut and her disciple and nodded at them.
In the distance, Tian Yan's state was a little strange. He was currently staring at Lu Ye with his eyes wide open, looking somewhat suspicious, then shocked, then fearful, and finally revealing a strange expression as if he had stepped in feces when he came out of the door ….
This was because he recognized Lu Ye as the one who had beaten him up in the previous training scene!
For a moment, he did not dare to believe his eyes. Based on his previous speculation, the head of the Nine Heavens, Lu Ye, was definitely a shadow left behind by a monstrous genius of a certain era. In the entire Asura Realm, only those two fellows could surpass him in strength. There was no one else. They had been suppressing him for so many years, so it was impossible for another one to appear out of nowhere.
Only now did he realize that one had appeared out of nowhere!
Compared to those two, the pressure this Lu Ye from the Nine Heavens gave him did not seem to be any weaker!
If that was all, it would be fine. Tian Yan's strength was not bad, and this Battle Arena was protected by the rules that prevented death. Even if he was not a match for his opponent, he would not shrink back. No matter what, he would fight with all his strength and show the might of his stone clan.
But … this Lu Ye was not only strong, but his methods were also disgusting! The wound he had inflicted on him in the previous training scene had been lingering with a strange power. Even if he was from the stone clan, he could not heal it on his own. In the end, he had no choice but to find an elder from his clan to help suppress and remove it. He had been busy for ten days.
If he was injured by him again in battle, wouldn't he have to continue healing?
He had been disgusted recently. With great difficulty, he was about to recover from his injuries. He did not want to experience that kind of terrible experience again.
Moreover, how precious was Sunshine's time? How could he let his clan's elder keep healing him?
This battle … could not be fought!
Thirty breaths of preparation time quickly passed. Only then did Lu Ye turn to look at his opponent. The moment he regained his freedom, he rushed forward.
Suddenly, he felt a little strange. Because this opponent of his … seemed a little familiar?
Before he could see clearly, his opponent's figure suddenly disappeared.
Lu Ye subconsciously thought that his opponent was a ghost cultivator and used a method to hide his figure. But soon, he realized that something was wrong. Because his vision blurred, he had returned to his own cave.
Lu Ye was stunned.
In the Battle Arena, the battle that countless cultivators were looking forward to actually ended just as it started. Walnut, whose face was full of nervousness, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly checked her Asura Command. When she saw that the Asura Command had suddenly increased by a lot, she could not help but jump up. "I won!"
She had placed her bet on Lu Ye at the last moment because she could tell that Tian Yan's expression wasn't quite right. Gritting her teeth, she steeled her heart and placed her bet on Lu Ye.
This time, she had earned a lot.
Because in the entire Battle Arena, apart from the master and disciple pair, only a few people had placed their bets on Lu Ye. Most of them had placed their bets on the more famous Tian Yan.
According to the rules of the winner splitting the loser's bets, the profits obtained from this battle were undoubtedly very considerable. Especially since she had bet all of her assets, her ratio far exceeded that of the others.
The woman frowned. Although winning the bet made her happy, Tian Yan actually retreated without fighting. This inevitably made people feel strange.
There was no danger to one's life in the Battle Arena. If Tian Yan had no intention of fighting, he could have completely refused Lu Ye's challenge. This way, the ranking would directly change. Since he had accepted the challenge, why would he take the initiative to admit defeat?
Even the woman, who was bright and quick-witted, could not figure out why Tian Yan would do this.
The entire Battle Arena boiled over. Countless cultivators loudly cursed "shady deals", "secret deals" and the like, requesting the Asura Field to uphold justice.
These cultivators who had placed their bets on Tian Yan felt that they had lost too unjustly. Moreover, there had never been such a precedent of retreating without fighting in the Battle Arena, let alone this kind of thing happening to the third-ranked Tian Yan.
This made people wonder if Tian Yan and that Lu Ye had some kind of secret deal. Both sides cooperated to control the results of the battle, using this to amass wealth.
If there really was such a thing, the Asura Field would definitely not sit by and do nothing. As long as someone brought it up, the Asura Field would deal with it strictly.
However, what disappointed people was that no matter how fiercely they shouted, Lu Ye and Tian Yan's rankings still remained on the ranking, not erased.
In Tian Yan's cave, he suddenly appeared and returned.
The Sunshine Rock Tribe member nodded and said, "You won?"
As for Tian Yan's victory, he was not at all surprised. In the entire Asura Field's Yue Yao level, aside from those two, no one could be stronger than Tian Yan. This time, he wondered who was so blind to challenge him.
Tian Yan's expression was blank. He scratched his face and said, "I lost."
"En?" The Sunshine Rock Tribe member was shocked. "How could that be?"
Moreover, to be able to defeat Tian Yan in such a short time, even those two could not do it, right? Based on the time, Tian Yan had been defeated in two or three moves after entering the Battle Arena. What kind of person had such powerful strength?
"Elder, it was that guy who challenged me!" Tian Yan's expression was gloomy.
The Sunshine Rock Tribe member said in surprise, "The person who injured you previously?"
"That's him!" Tian Yan nodded heavily. "I originally thought that he was a shadow left behind by a monster from some era, but I never thought that he was not. He is from this era, so I did not fight him. I admitted defeat and withdrew."
The Sunshine Rock Tribe member nodded and said, "A wise decision."
It was not embarrassing to lose. Cultivators who trained in the Battle Arena would not be afraid of winning or losing. The key was that the injury caused by the other party's long blade was too disgusting. This was the reason why Tian Yan withdrew.
"How can there be such a person in this world?" Tian Yan was puzzled.
The Sunshine Rock Tribe member said, "You are content to stay in a corner, forever only able to see the sky above your head. It is not a bad thing to experience some setbacks on the road of growth. You still have a long way to go in the future, a temporary dispute does not mean anything."
"I understand, Elder." Tian Yan was not someone who could not accept defeat. He thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of this guy before. He should have just come to the Asura Field not long ago. Looking at his momentum, he is probably aiming for the top spot. He will definitely challenge those two. Elder, I want to watch the battle. Can I delay the treatment of my injuries for a while?"
"Of course." The Sunshine Rock Tribe member agreed.
"Thank you, Elder!"
In Lu Ye's cave, he checked his ranking and found that he had reached the third place. There were only two people in front of him. He focused his attention on the basic information of these two people.
He found that the person in the top spot was Gu Sheng from the Yellow Dragon Realm. Below Gu Sheng was a cultivator from the Ancient Barbarian Realm called Abdullah.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. The Yellow Dragon Realm was indeed worthy of its reputation. He could hear the name of this realm everywhere he went. On the Wanxiang Sea, there was the Yellow Dragon Island, which was famous for its fighting prowess. The top spot in the Battle Arena was also a cultivator from the Yellow Dragon Realm.
It was indeed one of the top realms in the starry sky. It was full of talents.
He knew a little about the Ancient Barbarian Realm. It was a very strange realm. Generally speaking, the realms of various sizes in the starry sky would be affected by the changes in the overall environment, and then some changes would occur. Perhaps these changes would be very small and unnoticeable, but over a long period of time, these accumulated changes would be very big.
This was also the reason why the current cultivation environment was completely different from that of the Ancient Barbarian Realm.
Only the Starry Sky Wonders that were born in ancient times maintained the characteristics of ancient times.
The Ancient Barbarian Realm was special in that it had the characteristics of a Starry Sky Wonder. It did not seem to be affected by the changes in the overall environment. The entire realm maintained the appearance and environment of ancient times.
