The battles in the Asura Arena were extremely dangerous, with cultivators dying every day. Since Yu Luocha was able to make such a name for herself and was now ranked first on the Earth List, she is naturally no ordinary character.
She is not a sore loser, nor had she ever lost before.
On the contrary, at the very beginning, Yu Luocha was not a core disciple of Asura Heaven, but an extremely ordinary disciple. When she first entered the Asura Arena, she lost more than she won, and there were even a few times she was beaten to the point of near death.
However, this woman had a special trait, which was that she would stand up from wherever she fell!
If anyone defeated her, she would challenge them again. If she failed once, she would challenge them twice. If she failed twice, she would challenge them three times. She is extremely stubborn.
Over the years she had spent in the Asura Arena, she had defeated one powerful opponent after another and her cultivation had risen steadily, from the most ordinary disciple in Asura Heaven to a Core Disciple. Now that she had condensed her Sixth Grade strength, she is only a step away from reaching the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage!
Over the years, she had defeated all the opponents who had once defeated her, trampling all those who had once been insufferably arrogant under her feet, and undergoing countless bloody battles, she had grown from the fourth place of the Human List to the first place of the Human List, then rising to the Earth List, all the way to the supreme throne.
There was only one exception.
It was Yang Kai!
Back in the Asura Arena, she had fought with Yang Kai and was unfortunately defeated. After she cultivated for a while and wanted to challenge Yang Kai again, how could there still be Yang Kai in the Star City?
At that time, Yang Kai had been swept into the Great Ruins Boundary.
Since she couldn’t find Yang Kai, she could only look for Pei Buwan. How could Pei Buwan know where Yang Kai was? He had asked the Proprietress several times, but she also didn’t know where Yang Kai was.
She is a woman with a firm and resolute personality, and she has an air of unyielding determination. Naturally, she would not give up so easily.
In the main hall, Pei Buwan was on the verge of tears as he wiped the corners of his eyes and said, “Little Brother Yang, please show some mercy and save Old Brother. I’m about to be annoyed to death by that little girl. She comes to find me almost every three days and has not stopped for more than ten years. Can you imagine what kind of life I’ve been living all these years?”
Normally, it would have been fine, but there were a few times when Pei Buwan was spending the night in the Springs Flowers and Snow Night Building when Yu Luocha kicked open his door… These ten or so years of bitter suffering were simply not worth mentioning.
“Is this why you sold me out?” Yang Kai looked at him coldly.
Pei Buwan smiled and said, “How can this be considered selling out? Brother Yang, if you return to the Star City, even if I don’t say anything, that little girl will know. I’m just letting her know in advance.” His expression became solemn as he continued, “Just fight her. As long as you can fulfill that little girl’s wish, it doesn’t matter if you win or lose.”
“Not interested,” Yang Kai casually crushed the jade slip.
Although he is only an Emperor Realm now and had only condensed four different types of forces, strictly speaking, he had not even reached the Half Open Heaven, so he is not even qualified to enter the Asura Arena’s Earth List. However, if he were to compete with an Emperor Realm, he really wouldn’t have any interest or fighting spirit.
Many Open Heaven Stage masters had died at his hands, a mere Emperor Realm, no matter how outstanding his or her aptitude was, how could they be his opponent?
Pei Buwan panicked and asked, “Brother, what are you doing? Are you not going to fight?”
Yang Kai asked in surprise, “Did I agree to fight?”
Yu Luocha threw down a letter of challenge and left, completely talking to herself. Yang Kai didn’t agree, and after three days, whether he went or not depended on his own will.
Pei Buwan’s expression changed, “Don’t, Brother Yang, if you don’t accept the challenge, that little girl won’t let you off so easily. You don’t want people to follow you wherever you go, right?”
Yang Kai asked, “Will she do this?”
Pei Buwan nodded seriously, “With my understanding of her, this is definitely the case. The former number one on the Human List was followed by her for half a year, in the end, he couldn’t stand it anymore and could only agree to fight her.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning. If Yu Luocha was really so difficult to deal with, it would be a bit troublesome. Although it wasn’t a big deal for him to be followed and he didn’t have any shameful secrets, he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go meet her in three days.”
Pei Buwan was overjoyed when he heard this, “Brother Yang is truly generous! In three days, this old brother will be waiting for you at the Asura Arena!”
After Pei Buwan left, Yue He asked, “Young Master, are you really going to agree to the three-day agreement?”
Yang Kai said, “Shopkeeper Pei also said that Yu Luocha is a persistent person. If I refuse this time, there will definitely be a next time, instead of being entangled with her, it would be better to cut the knot.”
“Then Young Master must be careful,” Yue He covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
Yang Kai was stunned, “Why should I be careful? Are you afraid she’ll do anything bad to me?”
Yue He said, “I’m afraid that Young Master will accidentally kill her. Although life and death in the Asura Arena is one’s responsibility, and even if someone dies in battle, they cannot seek revenge, that Yu Luocha is still Asura Heaven’s Core Disciple. If she is really killed by you, I’m afraid it will be quite troublesome.”
Yang Kai replied, “No, I’ve always been tender towards women.” Turning to Lang Qingshan and the others, he continued, “We may need to stay here for a while. If you have nothing else to do, you can go to the Asura Arena to train yourself. Life and death battles are always the best nutrients for growth. It’s useless to not know how to fight despite having great strength.”
Lang Qingshan and the others quickly agreed, many of them showing eager expressions.
After following Yang Kai for more than ten years, each of them had grown greatly, especially Lang Qingshan. In the past, he was just a small Emperor Realm who had just condensed his Dao Seal, but now he had condensed several Fifth Grade materials and his strength had greatly increased.
However, in the Great Ruins Boundary, there were very few opportunities to fight with others, because in the Great Ruins Boundary, Yang Kai was basically omnipotent, so there was no place for them to display their strength.
It had to be said that the Asura Arena was an excellent training ground for them.
After eating and drinking, everyone went to rest.
What made Yang Kai angry was that the Accountant was actually trying to settle accounts with him. Each room cost three hundred Open Heaven Pills a night, but how could Yang Kai, with his wealth, care about such things? He rent ten rooms in one go.
The news of the Asura Arena’s number one on the Earth List challenging Yang Kai spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout Star City, causing quite a stir.
Yu Luocha is now famous, so naturally many people paid attention to her. She is the strongest representative below Open Heaven Stage, so this battle had attracted the attention of countless people.
Many people were inquiring about Yang Kai’s origins and were shocked to learn that he had defeated Yu Luocha more than ten years ago.
However, Yu Luocha's achievements were not small, so although they were somewhat shocked, no one thought too highly of Yang Kai. After all, over the past ten years, Yu Luocha's growth had been witnessed by everyone, and it could be said that she had improved by leaps and bounds.
Those who could defeat her in the past could only look up to her now. That Yang Kai was probably not far off. It was said that he had disappeared for more than ten years and only appeared recently, but no matter what kind of opportunities he had encountered in the past ten years, it was impossible for him to be Yu Luocha's opponent. At that time, he would only be trampled upon.
The Asura Arena is one of Asura Heaven’s largest industries for earning resources, so it had spared no effort to promote this battle. It had long since opened a betting pool with extremely high odds, attracting countless cultivators to place their bets.
Three days passed in a flash.
The Asura Arena was bustling with activity as countless cultivators poured into this place just to catch a glimpse of Yu Luocha's graceful bearing. Three years ago, after Yu Luocha obtained first place on the Earth List, she had rarely taken action, because basically no one below the Open Heaven Stage could last more than ten minutes under her.
No one dared to challenge her.
Today, she is finally going to fight, naturally attracting the attention of countless people.
Outside the Asura Arena, Yang Kai led Yue He over, and Pei Buwan, who had been waiting here for a long time, stepped forward and welcomed them warmly, laughing loudly, “Brother Yang, you’ve finally come.”
At this moment, he finally felt relieved. Before seeing Yang Kai, he was really afraid that Yang Kai wouldn’t come. If that was the case, not only would his efforts in the Asura Arena these past few days be wasted, but even he would have a headache.
Yang Kai gently nodded towards him as a form of greeting.
“Is he that Yang Kai?”
“It should be him, he doesn’t look like much.”
“Looking at the two followers behind him, he seems to be some kind of silkpants young master. How much strength does he have?”
Suddenly, a burst of discussion came from the side. Yang Kai swept his eyes over and saw that the streets were filled with cultivators, all of them staring at him curiously.
“These people are…” Yang Kai frowned slightly.
Pei Buwan said, “These people are all supporters of that little girl Yu Luocha, there’s no need to pay them any mind.”
Yang Kai was speechless. He hadn’t expected Yu Luocha to have such a high popularity in the Star City, but thinking about it, it wasn’t strange. That woman is beautiful and has a good figure, which man wouldn’t like her? Most importantly, her perseverance in pursuing victory was able to resonate with many low-level cultivators, naturally making them respect her greatly.
“That little brat surnamed Yang, you’ll have to withstand a few more blows from Senior Sister Yu later, don’t lose too badly,” Someone suddenly shouted, causing everyone else to laugh.
“No matter what, you’re still a man. At the very least, you should be able to endure ten breaths. Don’t embarrass us men.”
“If you don’t want to die, just admit defeat. Don’t lose face!”
“Hahahaha!”
The surrounding cultivators were all talking at once, seemingly angry at Yang Kai, but their tone was filled with ridicule, obviously not optimistic about his chances.
Yue He’s cold eyes swept over the crowd and the aura of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master suddenly filled the air. In an instant, the noise stopped and even the heavens and earth seemed to freeze. The outside of the Asura Arena instantly became silent.
Pei Buwan’s forehead dripped with cold sweat as he quickly said, “Please calm down, Young Lady.”
Yang Kai also smiled, “There’s no need to lower yourself to their level.”
Yue He coldly snorted and withdrew her aura.
