Chapter 417: Chapter 291: Yan Chuan Makes a Comeback! Everyone Cheers for Master Yan! [Seeking Monthly Votes!]
"In a great dream, who wakes first? Throughout my life, I know myself!"
Yan Chuan was in a sound sleep, and when he woke up, he felt fully rejuvenated.
He lazily stretched, turned his head and saw Chen Ze guarding with his sword in hand, eyes full of bloodshot, obviously exhausted to the extreme. Seeing Yan Chuan awake, Chen Ze was overjoyed, "Senior brother!"
"Junior brother, you’ve worked hard."
Yan Chuan smiled at Chen Ze.
Seeing the thick fog still lingered around, he knew that the "Mirage Pearl" had yet to be broken, and the arena was still safe.
"How many hours have I slept?"
"Ten rounds have passed, ten whole hours."
Chen Ze replied.
Goodness!
Yan Chuan raised an eyebrow, originally thought that six hours would be enough for recovery, but unexpectedly, he had slept for a full ten hours, nearly a whole day.
"How’s the situation outside?"
Yan Chuan asked Chen Ze again.
Suddenly, the voice of Shen Wu came from the sky—
"Time’s up!"
Another two hours passed, and another round of challenges concluded.
Seeing Chen Ze was exhausted, Yan Chuan waved his hand, "You rest first, I’ll look for myself."
...
Yan Chuan woke up just as a round of attack and defense ended.
He peeked his head out of the dense fog and glanced—
Xu Character, Ding Xiang
You Character, Situ Fei!
Wei Character, Cai Ru’an!
Wu Character, Ban Xianfu!
Chou Character, Tan Dou!
Zi Character, Gai Songlin!
...
Of the twelve arenas, only the masters of six arenas remained unchanged, while five had changed hands, exactly half.
"Eh?"
"No, wait!"
Yan Chuan’s eyes fixed on the ’Chou Character’ arena, realizing: "Tan Dou was originally on the ’Yin Character’ arena, how did he end up on the ’Chou Character’ arena? Where is Luo Qi now?"
Yan Chuan looked at the "Magic Child" Tan Dou on the ’Chou Character’ arena with amazement.
But quickly understood—
Goodness!
Was Tan Dou knocked off the ’Yin Character’ arena, only to immediately seize Luo Qi’s ’Chou Character’ arena?
Looking at the other arenas, Yan Chuan guessed: "The intensity of the arena battles during my ten-hour sleep was likely far beyond imagination."
...
"Too intense!"
Wang Zhengyi, seeing Yan Chuan awake, finally took a breath of relief, talking about the changes in the arena during those ten hours, not a hint of sleepiness or fatigue could be found, "Look, ’Xu Character’ arena is still Ding Xiang, right? But her consecutive wins were cut off, beaten by, well, the new arena master from the ’Chen Character’ arena."
Yan Chuan looked toward the ’Chen Character’ arena, this person with a bushy beard, rough in appearance, not a familiar face from either the "Hidden Dragon" or "Chufeng" two lists.
Could this person actually defeat Ding Xiang?
Moreover, he’s stationed at the ’Chen Character’ arena instead of Ding Xiang on the ’Xu Character’ arena, which means that after losing the ’Xu Character’ arena to Ding Xiang, he turned to capture the ’Chen Character’ arena—
"If I’m not mistaken, the arena master of the ’Chen Character’ arena is Liu Xin?"
’Chasing God Blade’ Liu Xin!
A person and a blade, enough to hold off four of the top thirty "Chufeng" experts, plus four teammates, incredibly strong in combination.
And the bushy beard first defeated Ding Xiang, then subdued Liu Xin?
Incredible!
...
"Incredible!"
Wang Zhengyi also exclaimed, "This man’s name is Gongyang Yu. Although not on the ’Hidden Dragon List,’ he is a missed phoenix, no less powerful than the likes of Zhuge Zhen, able to battle numerous rounds against Ding Xiang, Liu Xin, and others."
Gongyang Yu!
Strength rivaling Zhuge Zhen!
If so, still a considerable distance from Ding Xiang and Liu Xin.
"Does he have an exotic treasure?" Yan Chuan looked to Wang Zhengyi.
It’s not hard to guess.
Wang Zhengyi nodded, "That treasure is called ’Binding Rope’, with divine power to capture and bind people, when thrown, it automatically restrains the enemy. Even Ding Xiang’s peak movement technique couldn’t escape ’Binding Rope’. Liu Xin, with the ’Chasing God Blade’ in hand, also couldn’t withstand it."
Binding Rope!
Amazing!
To conquer two arenas consecutively, defeating two peak experts, Gongyang Yu’s ’Binding Rope’ seems no less formidable than Cai Ru’an’s ’Five-Colored Stone’ and Ma Hongniang’s ’White Bone Banner’.
All are treasures!
So then—
"Since Gongyang Yu has such a treasure, how did Ding Xiang reclaim the arena?" Yan Chuan wondered.
If it couldn’t be broken on stage, how was it broken off stage?
If that were the case, Liu Xin should have learned Ding Xiang’s method of defeating the enemy and shouldn’t have allowed Gongyang Yu to use the same trick to seize the ’Chen Character’ arena.
Confusing.
"Baffled, right?"
"You’d never think of it!"
Wang Zhengyi burst into laughter, without keeping it a secret: "After Ding Xiang stepped down, Situ Fei lent her the exotic treasure ’Eight Diagrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief’. This treasure is truly formidable, can be thrown to capture enemies, and acts swiftly. With this exotic treasure, Ding Xiang returned to the ’Xu Character’ arena, and with a wave of her hand, Gongyang Yu hadn’t even had the chance to use the ’Binding Rope’ before being captured by Ding Xiang’s ’Eight Diagrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief’."
Situ Fei!
Eight Diagrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief!
Yan Chuan was amazed, Situ Fei remained low-key, who would have thought she’d hide such an exotic treasure, even more astonishing that she voluntarily lent it to Ding Xiang!
This friendship is truly rare.
Having talked about Ding Xiang and Gongyang Yu.
Wang Zhengyi continued, Yan Chuan kept listening.
Within those ten hours, it wasn’t just Gongyang Yu, the ’Binding Rope’ and the ’Eight Diagrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief’, shining brightly, there was also Chen Pu, who occupied the ’Yin Character’ arena, decisively defeating Tan Dou’s team. Also an out-of-list genius, previously unknown, relied on a treasure called ’Fire Dragon Dart’, creating smoke upon attack, hitting every time, causing heavy injuries to Tan Dou on the spot, the team of five completely knocked off the arena, establishing Chen Pu’s fierce fame.
Even after Tan Dou left the arena to take pills and recover, he dared not trouble Chen Pu, instead turning against Luo Qi’s team on the already fatigued ’Chou Character’ arena.
