Once the news broke, the Martial Artists of Mysterious City went wild. Although the Four Great Young Masters were all at the Opening Realm, they represented the four most powerful figures of the city’s younger generation.

The outside world was buzzing with rumors, but Lin Yun, who was in the Death Row Shelter, wasn’t worried at all. He continued his daily cultivation as usual, showing not a single trace of nervousness.

"Lin Yun, sigh... I really don’t know what to say to you." Seeing Lin Yun’s relaxed and carefree appearance, Imprisoned Dragon, who was standing to the side, was more anxious than the man himself.

And one couldn’t blame Imprisoned Dragon for his worry. Lin Yun was only at the Fourth Layer of Opening Realm. Even if he could challenge a Martial Artist at the Seventh Layer, he was still a far cry from the other three Young Masters.

Imprisoned Dragon knew Iron Blood Young Master and Blood Refining Young Master very well. Their strength was no less than his own; they had absolutely reached the Ninth Layer of Opening Realm. As far as the Opening Realm was concerned, the two of them were practically invincible.

Seeing Imprisoned Dragon on the verge of jumping with anxiety, Lin Yun smiled and reassured him, "Don’t worry, I have it under control."

Lin Yun hadn’t underestimated anyone. He also knew that the strength of Iron Blood Young Master and Blood Refining Young Master made them invincible within the Opening Realm, but that was only when facing ordinary Opening Realm Martial Artists.

He possessed two Unparalleled Techniques, two Earth Level Upper Tier Body Technique Martial Skills, and the Flawless Flesh Body from Flawless Palace. If those two were geniuses, then Lin Yun was a Demon Fiend.

Therefore, Lin Yun was still confident about facing the two of them. After all, he had quite a few trump cards up his sleeve, and they were all extremely powerful.

Meanwhile, inside the Iron Blood Gang’s headquarters, Iron Blood Young Master and Blood Refining Young Master were embracing beautiful women and drinking fine wine, brilliant smiles on their faces.

"Haha, that little bastard was actually foolish enough to agree! In three days, I’ll see just how he dies." Blood Refining Young Master took a sip of wine and roared with laughter.

For successfully getting Lin Yun to agree to the arena match, both of them had been praised by their respective masters. At the same time, their two factions had also given them numerous benefits.

Compared to Blood Refining Young Master, Iron Blood Young Master seemed much more level-headed. ’There must be a catch to Lin Yun agreeing so readily,’ he thought. But no matter how he racked his brain, he couldn’t figure out what trump card Lin Yun could possibly have.

’Ye Yunlong? It will be an arena match; even though Ye Yunlong is from the Death Row Shelter, he’ll have no reason to interfere publicly. As for Lin Yun’s own strength... a mere Fourth Layer of Opening Realm. Even if Lin Yun can fight above his Realm, can’t I do the same?’

Iron Blood Young Master was filled with doubt. He had a nagging feeling that Lin Yun had an ace up his sleeve, but he just couldn’t put his finger on what it was.

The three days passed in a flash, fueled by everyone’s eager anticipation. Early on the morning of the third day, numerous Martial Artists from Mysterious City arrived at the city’s central plaza. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

A tall arena stage had already been erected in the plaza. In front of the stage were several chairs, presumably for the three Primordial Ocean Realm experts and the members of the two great factions.

Thousands of Martial Artists had arrived early and were waiting around the arena. This was a grand event, and everyone wanted to grab a spot up front to witness the prowess of the Four Great Young Masters up close.

The crowd waited for about an hour before Iron Blood Young Master and Blood Refining Young Master finally walked over slowly. As the two arrived, their masters also descended from the sky, landing directly in their respective seats.

"Blood Refining Young Master and Iron Blood Young Master are here!"

"The people from the two great factions have arrived too." As everyone began to arrive, the only ones still missing were Lin Yun, Imprisoned Dragon, and Ye Yunlong.

"They’re here, they’re here! Young Master Yun and Imprisoned Dragon Young Master have arrived!" someone in the crowd finally shouted, spotting the two figures.

As Lin Yun and Imprisoned Dragon arrived, Ye Yunlong also descended from the sky. However, there was only one seat left, and as fate would have it, it was situated right between Iron Blood and Blood Refining Ancestor.

Ye Yunlong’s expression turned cold. He naturally knew what these two were plotting. ’Aren’t they just trying to stop me from saving Lin Yun? By seating me between them, they can block me the moment I make a move.’

With a cold snort, Ye Yunlong didn’t call them out on it. He simply sat down, his face a cold mask.

"Brother Yunlong, today is merely a spar between the juniors. The three of us should set a ground rule: no one is to interfere. Let the young ones settle victory and defeat on their own," Iron Blood said the moment Ye Yunlong sat down.

Hearing this, Ye Yunlong snorted coldly. "Hmph. As long as his life isn’t in danger, I naturally won’t make a move."

"Ye Yunlong, did you not hear us clearly? The three of us will not make a move. The juniors will settle everything," Blood Refining Ancestor chimed in upon hearing Ye Yunlong’s words.

The three of them each had their own ulterior motives. Ye Yunlong was dead set on not letting any harm come to Lin Yun. Meanwhile, Iron Blood and Blood Refining Ancestor were equally determined to seize Lin Yun’s inheritance. Failing that, they would kill him. If they couldn’t have it, they certainly weren’t going to let Ye Yunlong get it.

The three experts said no more, and the crowd’s attention remained fixed on the stage. The Four Great Young Masters now stood facing one another. Iron Blood Young Master looked at Lin Yun, still wearing a broad smile.

"Iron Blood Young Master, the arena match is about to begin. I wonder what treasure you’ve prepared as a wager?" Lin Yun was the first to speak, asking with a smile.

Iron Blood Young Master was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. With a flash from the Space Ring on his right hand, a beautiful Jade Bottle appeared in his palm.

"This is a Three-Stars Elixir known as the Blood Burning Pill. It can temporarily boost a Martial Artist’s strength, and while it has side effects, it can directly increase one’s power by three Small Realms," Iron Blood Young Master announced loudly. Hearing this, the crowd below went absolutely wild.

A Three-Stars Elixir, and a Blood Burning Pill no less! This wasn’t something you could buy with just money; it was an absolutely top-tier treasure. After all, in the entire Yanhuang Country, only the Royal Family had a Four-Stars Alchemist. Beyond that, Three-Stars Alchemists were so rare you could count them on one hand.

"Mm, not bad. That counts as a treasure. And what about you, Blood Refining Young Master?" A fiery glint appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes as he looked at the Jade Bottle, but he quickly concealed it and turned his impassive gaze toward Blood Refining Young Master.

"Hmph. This is a Profound Level Upper Tier Spear Skill Martial Skill that my master acquired by chance. Even though it’s Profound Level Upper Tier, Weapon Martial Skills are inherently precious. Furthermore, once this Spear Skill Martial Skill is cultivated to the Great Success stage, it is definitely stronger than an ordinary Profound Level Upper Tier Martial Skill," Blood Refining Young Master snorted.

"Hehe, Young Master Yun, we have both presented our wagers. I wonder what treasure you’ve prepared to broaden our horizons?" Iron Blood Young Master took the opportunity to turn his gaze toward Lin Yun.

With a faint smile, Lin Yun took a brocade box from his robes. "This is the Demon Core of an Earth Tier Three-Stars Demon Beast, the Celestial King Snake. I wonder if this will meet with the two Young Masters’ approval?"

When Lin Yun presented his wager, the expressions of Iron Blood Young Master and Blood Refining Young Master changed slightly. They had previously assumed that Ye Yunlong would be the one to provide the wager, but they never expected it to be such a precious treasure.

As the four on stage presented their wagers one by one, the Martial Artists in the audience were left completely stunned. This was an outrageous gamble! Any single one of these four treasures would be enough to incite a mad scramble, or even a bloody battle.
