As Ning Zheng opened his mouth to praise Lin Bai.

In the spectator seats above, many martial art experts showed approval of the Sword Demon’s strength.

This left the other warriors confused.

It was clearly a move between Lin Bai and the Ghost Messenger, both winning by their strength. Although the Ghost Messenger unfortunately lost, he wasn’t inferior to Lin Bai, was he?

Hearing the voices of many warriors questioning, a strong one at the Wending Realm coldly said, "Hmph, what do you frogs at the bottom of a well know, about that move just now? It seemed a simple clash of moves!"

"But in reality, it concealed fatal danger!"

"When the Sword Demon punched towards the Ghost Messenger, he deliberately revealed an opening in his abdomen. This was the only opening the Sword Demon showed after exchanging thousands of moves with the Ghost Messenger."

"This was also the only opening the Ghost Messenger could seize to unleash his deadly sword strike!"

"And the Ghost Messenger knew, that even if this sword struck the Sword Demon, Lin Bai would not die because of it, instead, he would be killed by the Sword Demon!"

"But the Ghost Messenger also knew, after exchanging thousands of moves with the Sword Demon, that if he gave up this opening, he might never find another one!"

"So, the two of them gambled!"

"The Sword Demon gambled on whether the Ghost Messenger would seize this opening!"

"And ultimately, the Sword Demon won the gamble. The Ghost Messenger, at all costs, wanted to kill the Sword Demon with this sword, but in the end, he missed it by a bit and was instead killed by a punch that shattered his heart vein!"

"Do you know, that move just now was a deadly gamble between the two? Any slight mistake by either could have led to instant death by the opponent!"

"This is also why we feel the Sword Demon’s martial arts cultivation far surpasses the Ghost Messenger’s!"

"This is also why Judge Ning Zheng praised the Sword Demon so highly after the martial arts competition!"

The strong one at the Wending Realm slowly revealed the whole story.

At this moment, all the warriors realized that the move shared at that moment of lightning and flint contained so much mystery!

Now, when they looked back at Lin Bai, a trace of shock appeared in their eyes!

"After this battle, the Sword Demon has firmly established himself in the Fighting Arena!"

The strong one from the Wending Realm said calmly.

Judge Ning Zheng descended from mid-air, looked at Lin Bai with full approval, and said, "Good, not bad, not bad, Sword Demon, you have passed three examinations!"

"Every subsequent duel, if you win, you will earn a thousand merits!"

"Now that you are also injured, you don’t need to fight today, come back tomorrow!"

Lin Bai slightly nodded, turned, and left the Fighting Arena.

"Sword Demon!"

"Sword Demon!"

"Sword Demon!"

As Lin Bai turned to leave, the spectator seats erupted with calls of his name.

Lin Bai turned back, looked at all the cheering warriors, smiled inwardly, turned around and walked out of the Fighting Arena, saying lightly, "Tomorrow begins my time to harvest a lot of merits!"

Tai Yi stood at the exit, smiling and said, "Congratulations, Sword Demon!"

As he spoke, Tai Yi took out a Sound Transmission Token from the storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai, saying, "If you ever want to duel at the Fighting Arena again, you can use this token to contact me, and I’ll arrange it for you!"

Lin Bai accepted the Sound Transmission Token and nodded, "Thank you!"

After finishing, Lin Bai left the Fighting Arena, without paying further attention to the ensuing martial arts competitions.

As the duel between Lin Bai and the Ghost Messenger concluded, it led to a climax across the arena...

Among the new fighters appearing today, only Lin Bai and another warrior successfully broke through, while other warriors ended in failure!

...

In the private room.

Madam Yang looked at the dead Ghost Messenger in shock, with a hint of astonishment on her face.

Beside Madam Yang, several handsome men were inwardly extremely excited and happy, but outwardly displayed sorrow: "Ah, what a pity, the Ghost Messenger was just a little bit away from defeating the Sword Demon!"

"So unfortunate, so unfortunate!"

Although these handsome men spoke words of regret, they were internally praising Lin Bai for helping them eliminate the Ghost Messenger!

"Madam Yang, now that the Ghost Messenger is dead, what should we do?"

"Why don’t we accompany the madam to leave Black Water City and find other strong ones!"

"Just right, along the way, we can enjoy the mountains and rivers, taking in the Northern Lands’ scenery, isn’t this a life as joyful as a god!"

"Good, good, madam, let’s accompany you to find other strong ones!"

These handsome men said with beaming smiles.

At this moment, Madam Yang looked slightly grim, gently murmuring with her red lips: "The Ghost Messenger actually lost!"

"Madam, madam..." These handsome men called gently.

Madam Yang came to her senses and said lightly, "Why seek strong ones outside, isn’t there a strong one right here? Since he could kill the Ghost Messenger, it proves he is stronger than the Ghost Messenger!"

"Go, call the manager of the Fighting Arena!"

Madam Yang said lightly.

"Yes, I will invite the manager of the Fighting Arena right away!" One of the handsome men smiled and quickly ran out.

This handsome man quickly found Tai Yi and said, "Manager Tai Yi, Mrs. Yang of the Zhao family invites you!"

"Mrs. Yang!" Tai Yi was taken aback, then said, "Lead the way!"

Immediately, the handsome man led Tai Yi to the Elegant Pavilion.

Once Tai Yi entered the Elegant Pavilion, he lowered his head, cupped his fist, and said, "Manager Tai Yi of the Fighting Arena, greeting Madam Yang!"

Madam Yang smiled faintly and said, "Manager Tai Yi, is that Sword Demon a lone warrior, or is he an undefeated general arranged by someone else?"

Tai Yi replied, "To my knowledge, this person seems to be a lone warrior!"

"Speaking of this matter, our Fighting Arena should apologize to Madam. We didn’t expect the Sword Demon to kill the Ghost Messenger as arranged by Madam..."

"This matter was our Fighting Arena’s fault!"

"Originally, I arranged for the Ghost Messenger to take the stage because the Sword Demon had won consecutively, gaining much momentum. If the Ghost Messenger could defeat him, he could quickly establish himself in the Fighting Arena, and his worth would increase accordingly!"

"But, unexpectedly..."

Tai Yi said cautiously.

Madam Yang chuckled, "No problem, I understand it’s part of the Fighting Arena’s operations!"

"Since the Fighting Arena wants to apologize, I have one request, I’m not sure if Manager Tai Yi can agree to it!"

Tai Yi asked, "What request?"

Madam Yang said, "I would like the Fighting Arena to help me arrange a meeting with the Sword Demon; I want to see him alone!"

Tai Yi smiled, "That is no problem at all, I can notify the Sword Demon, but as for whether he will see you, that’s... something I can’t guarantee!"

Madam Yang chuckled, "Then thank you!"

Tai Yi smiled, "If there’s nothing else, I would like to take my leave!"

Having said that, Tai Yi left the Elegant Pavilion.

After leaving the Elegant Pavilion, Tai Yi took out the Sound Transmission Token to contact Lin Bai...
