Chapter 699: The Strongest Challenger

In the merchant house hall, people saw the Frenzy Robber wobble on his feet before falling to the ground.

And Ye Mo, on the other side, was holding the Thunderlord Hammer.

“The Frenzy Robber has already failed, meaning I’ll take the Thunderlord Hammer with me, on behalf of the merchant house.”

Ye Mo, behind the diamond mask, had proved himself in this fight. No one would dare to question his power anymore, because he defeated even the Frenzy Robber.

In the Zone of Chaos, cultivation meant everything. The fact that Ye Mo defeated the Frenzy Robber made the gladiators of other grades begin to admire him secretly. Even Meng Long, the gladiator who Ye Mo had defeated, respected him sincerely, without any dissatisfaction.

The Frenzy Robber, injured severely by Ye Mo, was carried out.

Later, the legend of the strongest challenger in the merchant house in the Ice City started to spread. It was said that he had defeated a Low-grade Profound World Realm expert with cultivation in the Transcendence Sixth Realm. Because of this, plenty of cultivators between the Transcendence Sixth Realm and the Transcendence ninth Realm came to fight him. Nobody ever won. Ye Mo crushed all of them.

Within three days, Ye Mo had defeated 30 Transcendence Sixth Realm experts, 27 Transcendence Seventh Realm experts, 19 Transcendence Eighth Realm experts, 10 Transcendence Ninth Realm experts, and 4 Half Profound experts.

With the temptation of the Profound Heaven Ice Sword, nine Profound World Realm experts came for the bet besides the Frenzy Robber. But, like before, Ye Mo defeated them all as well.

Nobody really knew what happened within the Illusion Formation, but, as long as the gladiator was Ye Mo, no one could win.

Three days in a row, Ye Mo had won 99 times. It was definitely an unbelievable number in all of the merchant houses of the Chaos Palace.

Ye Mo’s talent had already surpassed all the diamond grade gladiators. And, in the past few days, he had earned so many resources for the merchant house that the total value was worth more than several drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood.

Within three days, Ye Mo became the strongest challenger of the entire merchant house, undefeated.

But Ye Mo didn’t care about any of it. With only one more bet fight for the Profound Heaven Ice Sword, he could pass the test the head of the merchant house had given him

The next fight was vital.

Ye Mo still stayed at the merchant house. Many female diamond grade gladiators were rather interested in him.

The journey of cultivation was always helplessly long. Therefore, everyone would like to find a partner, cultivating together and helping each other.

“Ye Xiao, your power is so tough, have you ever considered finding yourself a cultivating partner?” One of the female diamond grade gladiators chatted with Ye Mo.

“A cultivating partner?”

Ye Mo knew the meaning of the phrase, but it suddenly made him think of Xiao Yue. If he had the chance to cultivate with Xiao Yue and hold her hand till the end of the cultivation, he could die happy.

Cultivating was a tedious thing.

“I don’t need any cultivating partner,” Ye Mo said emotionlessly.

“Ye Xiao, if you became my cultivating partner, that would be the best. Right now, our cultivation levels are close, but in several years, I know your power will be must stronger than me. By then, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“That’s right. All of us are too weak to be your cultivating partner. But in my opinion, the castellan of the Ice City is the most suitable choice for you,” another female diamond grade gladiator said.

“Yeah? The castellan of the Ice City? What’s her story?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“She’s a Low-grade Profound Heavens Realm expert and her techniques and skills are categorized in the ice attribute. Against someone of the same cultivation level, she’s unbeatable, and she’s only around 20 years old.”

“A twenty-year-old Profound Heavens Realm expert?” Ye Mo said in total shock. Although he was very confident he’d advance to a much higher cultivation level, this was the first time he’d heard about a 20-year-old Profound Heavens Realm expert.

“Correct, as long as someone reaches the Profound Heavens Realm, he or she will be qualified to compete for the castellan position. She might be the youngest of the thousand castellans.”

“Women in the Zone of Chaos don’t fall in love too much. Even if we find someone we love, so what? We’re destined to live for thousands and even tens of thousands of years, but our lovers only have a life span less than a hundred years. After a hundred years, we’re gonna have to experience the heart-broken parting. In order to avoid such a situation, we would choose a cultivating partner who has a close talent and a similar level.”

This diamond grade gladiator enlightened Ye Mo. In fact, he had never thought about something like that.

If he really advanced to the legendary immortal level, he would have to watch the girl he loved grow old alone. How long could this so-called love last?

Therefore, in the Zone of Chaos, love was always out of reach. As long as two people had the same talent and potential, and could hit it off, they could become cultivating partners right away.

“But there are already a lot of geniuses out there. For example, Fen Qiantu. With his rare talent, he’s proposed to the castellan many times hoping she’d become his cultivating partner. But I think you’re better than him. Maybe you can make it.”

“Much appreciated, guys,” Ye Mo said and cupped his hands to the girls wearing the diamond masks. Then he heard a loud noise from the entrance of the merchant house. Everyone looked over.

A polite gentleman wearing a flaming red gown was walking slowly into the hall. People were all staring at him, surprised.

Seeing the man entering the hall, Ye Mo also frowned a little, because this man was the flamboyant Fen Qiantu that he’d run into on the first day he came to the Ice City.

“I’ve heard the Profound Heaven Ice Sword is for sale now. Just in time. I’m trying to find a weapon for the castellan. Well, I’ll just take it.”

As Fen Qiantu entered the merchant house, his face was filled with arrogance. In his mind, the merchant house hadn’t hired any Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert, so, he could just take whatever he wanted and the merchant house would be fine with it.

The Chaos Palace owned a huge business system with a thousand merchant houses, the powers of the different merchant houses were imbalanced. Within the merchant house in Icy City, they’d never gotten the chance to recruit a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert.

In addition, the merchant house wouldn’t want to offend a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert over some unimportant resources.

Now, Feng Qiantu showed up again, locking down the Profound Heaven Ice Sword with his eyes, wanting to take it away arrogantly.

“Childe Fen, I can’t let you take the weapon away.” the shopkeeper said with a flattering smile on her face, hiding her fury. This guy had already ripped off so many resources from the merchant house. If they weren’t short of hands in the Chaos Palace recently, the head would have already sent some experts to manage the situation.

But, normally, an expert who had a High-grade Profound World Realm cultivation was in a high social status such as the deputy castellan.

“Oh? What’s going on? It looks like the merchant house has newly recruited a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert. Do you want to bet on a fight with me?” Fen Quantu laughed coldly. “Don’t you guys know my cultivation level? An average Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert won’t stand any chance of defeating me.”

“You’re right. This is the newly recruited diamond grade gladiator, Ye Xiao. Currently, he’s in the Transcendence Sixth Realm. He’s already won 99 fights in a row, including 9 against Profound World Realm experts who wanted to bid on the Profound Heaven Ice Sword,” the shopkeeper said peacefully.

“Transcendence Sixth Realm expert? Defeated Profound World Realm experts?” Fen Qiantu couldn’t believe what he heard and replied coldly, “Well, it’s time for me to end your winning streak now.”

“It’s still too early to say who will end who!” Ye Mo stepped forward making eye contact with him.

Ye Mo didn’t feel so confident about this fight. But he had to win anyway.
