Feng Xi looked over following the voice. As the people in the crowd stepped aside automatically, a young man in luxury clothes walked over escorted by a big crowd.

That was Yang Mingyuan, the young man who threatened Feng Xi and left the words ‘Wait and see’ yesterday. With a complacent look on his handsome face, he looked to Feng Xi disdainfully in an arrogant manner as if Feng Xi was an ant under his boot while walking toward the boy slowly.

Feng Xi squinted his eyes with a confused look. Then he looked at Yang Mingyuan and asked surprisedly, “Who are you?”

The smile on Yang Mingyuan’s face sudden went frozen. Then he glowered at Feng Xi, saying, “Brat, don’t try to play tricks on me. How could you forget about me? We just met yesterday! No one would trust you. Of course, if you cannot accept the fact that you are destined to lose, I won’t mind helping you.”

Hearing Yang Mingyuan’s hostile words, Feng Xi shook his head continuously and then pointed at Yang Mingyuan with his index finger and said seriously, “It’s you! You are the one who is not able to get the first or the second place and only wants the third place, Yang some Yuan? Sorry that I didn’t recognize you just now!”

The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, because everyone had seen the gloomy face of Yang Mingyuan.

Meanwhile, Feng Xi’s buddies laughed so happily that even their bellies were convulsed. The laughter angered Yang Mingyuan even more and the look in his eyes turned more sullen.

“I’ll let you go for the moment. When I defeat you in front of everyone on the arena, I’ll see how you are going to pay for the huge gambling debt! You poor wretch!”

Yang Mingyuan uttered those fierce words. Clearly he had already noticed that Feng Xi’s stake was only a few pieces of red crystal. Since the boy didn’t even have any purple crystal, Yang Mingyuan assumed that the boy had merely been bluffing before and was just a poor little creature.

“Yang some Yuan! Stop bluffing. I will show you some mercy on the arena if you are willing to eat shit.” Feng Xi waved his hand to Yang Mingyuan, pretending to be very generous.

“Ha ha ha ha!” As Feng Xi’s buddies pictured Yang Mingyuan’s embarrassed look, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter. If Yang Mingyuan could see their faces, the look on his face would be more sullen.

“You…” Yang Mingyuan stared at Feng Xi with a malicious look in his eyes. As he was about to say something, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd, which made his heart tremble.

“Embarrassing! The person from the Heaven Sect is merely thus!”

When everyone looked back, they found the man who had said that already left. Even so, lots of people still recognized who that was judging from that cool black figure.

“Wow, that’s Lord Carendra! I didn’t know that he actually speaks! That’s so unimaginable!”

When everyone looked at Carendra’s back with adoring looks in their eyes, Yang Mingyuan’s face already twisted and his eyes showed an insidious look. He blamed Feng Xi for the sarcastic words Carendra had said to him. ‘If it were not for this boy, I wouldn’t be ridiculed by Carendra!’

Feng Xi’s attention was completely drawn by Carendra’s words, so he didn’t look at Yang Mingyuan at all.

“This Carendra seems like a good guy!” Feng Xi stroked his chin and nodded. Although the back of Carendra looked very cool, Feng Xi still thought he and this man would hit it off after hearing the words Carendra had just said.

At least that was Feng Xi’s current thought.

“Fool!” God of Books and God of Bad Luck’s voices echoed in Feng Xi’s brain.

Feng Xi was startled by the sudden sound. When he came back to his sense, he found the ones who had called him a fool were God of Books and God of Bad Luck. Then he goggled and cursed, “Why did you call me a fool!”

“Because you are a fool. How stupid are you to think that Carendra is a good guy! The people who know about him all admit that Carendra is definitely not a good person even if he is not a bad person. In the Three Worlds, there are no absolute good persons or bad persons. The conflict of interests will turn good friends to enemies, good people to bad ones. The situation is especially common among cultivators. If you show a book of Profound Art in the Heaven Stage in front of a so-called good person, I guarantee that even if that person is a saint, he will become your enemy.” God of Books felt himself being more and more like a garrulous woman and his master was like his child who needed more guidance.

“So this Carendra is a bad guy?” Feng Xi frowned.

God of Books, God of Bad Luck as well as Hairless Chicken all nodded seriously as if saying, “You are finally enlightened.”

Feng Xi nodded heavily and said, “I see, so the three of you might be bad persons too. I roger that!”

After saying that, Feng Xi ran into the crowd right away, leaving his buddies still nodding in situ. When they came back to earth, Feng Xi had already reached the arena on the other side.

After Feng Xi and his buddies had left, Yang Mingyuan stared at the boy’s back with a murderous intention in his eyes.

The intense final match was about to take place. The eight attenders would be assigned to four arenas separately this time. The four winners in the first round would fight for the top three places afterwards. The opponent of each attender would be decided by drawing lots.

The moment Feng Xi got on the stage, he drew all the attention right away and made a larger stir in the audience than others. Those ardent eyes were fixed on Feng Xi. This boy whose fame had been widely spread lately was being sized up by everyone right now.

Luckily, Feng Xi, as an insensitive boy, didn’t notice the look of the audience at all.

Right at this moment, Feng Xi was glancing at the other attenders and at last his eyes fell upon Carendra. Among all the attenders, Carendra impressed him most because Feng Xi sensed an evil spirit and murderous intention from him. Since Feng Xi wanted to take the first place, he was sure that Carendra would be his worthy rival!

As for Ming Heiyu, this man was in the fourth grade of the God King realm. However, because of what had happened before, Feng Xi always had a bad impression of the people of the Nether family. Therefore, he didn’t even look at Ming Heiyu. What was more, Ming Heiyu was the oldest attender among them. It was said that he was already around seventy or eighty years old, so Feng Xi had already classified Ming Heiyu into the group of old men.

Although Feng Xi didn’t care about Ming Heiyu at all, the latter had paid great attention to Feng Xi.

Ever since Feng Xi stepped onto the arena, Ming Heiyu had stared at him the whole time. However, as Ming Heiyu found that Feng Xi had only focused on Carendra, he got furious right away, feeling that he had been neglected by the boy. Then, there was a gloomy and sinister look showing up on Ming Heiyu’s face.

However, what Ming Heiyu didn’t know was that when he showed a murderous intention, Carendra seemed to have sensed that and glanced at him. After that, Carendra looked in the direction where Ming Heiyu was staring at. With a meaningful look crossing Carendra’s eyes, he looked away when no one was noticing him.

Nangong Li was in charge of the final match. When he stepped out, the square fell into silence at once. After all, the identity of Green Nether Union was enough to hold everyone in awe and Nangong Li was highly respected in the Netherworld. No matter how arrogant the people there were, they would still show respect for him.

“The rule of the final match this time is the same as before. Your opponents will be decided by lots.” Nangong Li said that in a heavy voice. After that, he suddenly waved his sleeves to the stone stage slightly. Then the black cloth flew down right away, exposing the cylinder bamboo tube on which were inserted eight bamboo sticks.

“The colors on the bottom of each stick are not all the same. The attenders who draw the sticks of the same color would become competitors in this round. Now, please come here and start to draw lots!”

After Nangong Li said that, a few attenders who were the nearest to the lots walked over in line immediately to draw lots. Only after they showed color on the bottom of their sticks did they leave.

Seeing them finishing drawing lots, Feng Xi wanted to walk over too. However, Yang Mingyuan was one step ahead of him and whispered to Feng Xi’s ears, “Pray to God that your rival won’t be me, or I’ll defeat you in the first round.” After that, Yang Mingyuan drew a lot in front of everyone. However, when he saw the color on the bottom of the stick, the look on his face turned frustrated instantly because his opponent was the one who had already finished drawing lots.

“What a pity! It’s not me.” Feng Xi sighed.

Next, it seemed that God was playing tricks on Feng Xi because he was very very “lucky” to have Ming Heiyu, the attender who was very likely to take the first place, as his opponent. As the saying went, one could not avoid his enemy!

It seemed that wherever Feng Xi went, he would end up in having conflicts with the people of the Nether family. This time was no exception either. It was like they were destined to fight each other. What was more, Nangong Li made a random choice and Feng Xi and Ming Heiyu were the first pair to compete.

“The attenders who have bamboo sticks with yellow bottom, please enter the arena. The others should leave now.” Nangong Li waved his hand on the referee’s seat and ordered that straightly.

After a short while, there were only two figures standing face to face on the spacious arena.
