Death… And Me Chapter 2912: It is Here

Chapter 2912: It is Here

Rean came out of the arena and pa.s.sed Roan two of the Four Rank One Spiritual Stones he had now. Two were already his, and the other two he won from the kid. "Alright, bet these two on me on the Arena Bets website."

Roan nodded and left. At the same time, Rean accessed the Arena website and put himself there for another fight once again. Just like before, he offered two Rank One Spiritual Stones. Many saw his fight and didn't see anything impressive, so even more kids os similar strength selected him.

Rean faintly smiled. Some of those kids obviously thought Rean would be an easy opponent, so they even offered more than two Rank One Spiritual Stones as long as Rean accepted to fight them. Little did they know they were falling into the shark's mouth.

Another three hours later, Rean came into the arena, although he was completely healed now. No one was surprised by that. In the arena, no lasting damage is allowed, so as long as you used your Spiritual Stones, you could have yourself healed by the Gondel Clan. Well... Rean didn't need to do that, though.

Another fight took place, both Rean and the kid in the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm. This one took even longer, fifteen minutes. And just like the last time, Rean won by a thread... or so he made it look like. Yet, he felt more like he was bullying the kids. Too bad he needed Spirit Stones.

At the same time, Rean won his bet on the arena Website, were the odds against Rean were 1 to 2. Roan got another two Rank One Spirit Stones. With the ones Rean just won from his opponent, they now had ten total. Usually, they would take five days to gain ten Rank One Spiritual Stones if they worked together on the menial tasks. Yet, half a day was enough for ten of them, and more were on the way.

Rean returned to the area the next day, this time betting all six Rank One Spirit Stones he won the last time. Roan, obviously, used his four stones to bet on Rean's victory. Rean was his brother, and he was betting on him, so no one could find anything wrong with that either.

Another fight, another 'struggle,' another victory. Rean got another six Rank One Spiritual Stones. Roan got another four.

This continued during the day. Bigger whales began to appear while the kids in the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm became more scarce.

It wasn't a problem, though. During Rean's third fight, he lost! Well, he lost on purpose. If he just won every time, then no one would accept his fights anymore, right? He healed himself, accepted another fight, the fourth of the day, and 'barely' won it.

Roan also lost a bet with Rean's 'defeat,' but it was also part of the plan to not catch too much attention.

The next day came around, and Rean bet ten Rank One Spirit Stones at once. However, such an amount of Spirit Stones began to be too much for Initial Stage Energy Gathering Realm opponents, so most of the cultivators who accepted Rean's challenge were in the Middle Stage. Rean didn't mind and accepted one of such challenges.

The day pa.s.sed in the same way as the previous one. Rean lost one fight and won three. Roan also lost one bet and won three, all according to the plan.

Five days, ten days, twenty days...

By now, Rean couldn't trick the kids anymore. Sure, he was losing a few times, but he was winning way too many of them. The same went for Roan. The arena had its own way of dealing with fighters that were stronger than their cultivation realm suggested, so now Rean's status informed any possible challenger that Rean had the strength of at least a Middle Stage Energy Gathering Realm cultivator even though he was in the Initial Stage.

Another ten days went by, and all the kids in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm completely gave up accepting Rean's challenges. Naturally, the website also noticed that and changed his status as quite some attention gathered around him. One could say that Rean did an absolutely amazing job tricking everyone this far. He truly knew how to pretend to be on the limit.

Regardless of whether it was Rean issuing a challenge or Rean accepting one on the website, only those in the Late Stage now accepted Rean's call.

To make things more interesting, Rean lost all fights for two days in a row. Roan, on the other hand, lost the same number since he always bet on Rean regardless. When asked, he simply said that it was his job to support his brother, so he would always bet on him... although his face contorted every time he had to say those lines.

On the third day, the same things started to happen again. Rean would win three fights, and Roan would win three bets as a result, while both of them lost one each.

Two months since Rean and Roan joined the Gondel Clan...

Rean's status on the website stated that Rean was at least as strong as a Peak Stage Energy Gathering Realm cultivator. Rean was now fighting young people around the same age as him. Neither Rean nor Roan cared for such things and just kept following the plan. Now and then losing, and then resuming their higher rate of victories.

'I'm quite surprised the arena higher-ups haven't come out to complain yet,' Rean couldn't help but comment with Roan.

'You did a good job pretending,' Roan wasn't as surprised. 'Besides, it is not the arena higher- ups who will come out to say anything. Instead, it shouldn't take long before some bigger figure appears.'

Rean knew what Roan was talking about. 'Another master?'

'Probably...' Roan nodded.

Two months and fourteen days since the twins began to fight in the arena...

They now had Rank One Spirit Stones to cultivate every night without worrying about running out. The daytime profits more than made up for the expenses. No one knew it, but Rean and Roan had already reached the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Suddenly, Rean received a message in his CD. "Hum? Elder Kuslau? Seems like it is here..."
