"Work hard and seize the opportunity!" Old He smiled and patted Gu Jiao's shoulder.

Who was he kidding! How could there be an opportunity?

This young man was brought in here by himself. He could neither be praised nor be criticized, but he was someone who worked hard. With a bit of luck, there might be some hope for ranking within the top seventy or eighty, but that was it.

It was just, when it came to making promises or painting a rosy picture for someone, there was no shortage of meat!

Old He saw the determined look on the young man's face and wanted to tell her that becoming the top-ranked fighter wasn't just about offerings. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Gu Jiao couldn't wait any longer and went off to find her own battle platform.

The platforms were arranged randomly, and there was no such thing as an exclusive platform.

She was a.s.signed to the western platform.

When Gu Jiao first came to the underground arena, her most vivid impression was the brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y fights on the western platform. She seriously suspected that the bare-chested man had beaten his opponent to death.

Gu Jiao was the first one to go up on the platform.

According to the rules of the underground arena, when someone stepped onto the platform, two square plaques on either side would rise up like flags, displaying the name and rank of the fighter, usually using t.i.tles or aliases.

For example, Gu Jiao's plaque displayed the name "Heaven Dominator" with no specified rank.

Originally, Gu Jiao planned to use the name "Dragon Soaring in the Sky," but Old He said that the word "dragon" conflicted with the Emperor's t.i.tle, so Gu Jiao compromised and chose "Heaven Dominator" instead.

When Old He saw this name, his mouth twitched for a few seconds.

The name "Heaven Dominator" was well chosen, and everyone a.s.sumed it belonged to a burly, bearded man. As a result, when she stepped up, she turned out to be a delicate, clean-cut young boy.

Among women, Gu Jiao was considered tall, but in the underground arena full of burly men, she appeared pet.i.te.

When the spectators saw that she had no rank, their interest diminished by half, and they turned their attention to other platforms.

However, this situation changed when the plaque of Gu Jiao's opponent was raised. On the square plaque, it read "Blade Mountain Traveler," a second-level expert.

The people who had left suddenly returned in a rush.

Gu Jiao made a puzzled sound. There were fourth-level fighters on the southern platform, so how could they settle for a mere second-level opponent?

Soon, Blade Mountain Traveler stepped up, and Gu Jiao understood what was going on.

This Blade Mountain Traveler was the bare-chested strong fighter she had seen on the western platform last time. He was incredibly violent, and every punch he threw caused screams from the audience.

People came here for excitement. They wanted to see something thrilling, and as long as it made their adrenaline surge, it was good enough.

At the sight of Blade Mountain Traveler, Old He's face instantly changed. "What's going on? Why is it him? Didn't we agree that it would be a novice?"

"Surnamed Zhu, come out!" Old He rushed into the accounting room to find the young man surnamed Zhu.

Zhu Yun was busy with bookkeeping and didn't even lift his eyelids. "Why are you so fl.u.s.tered?"

Old He trembled with anger. "You... you broke your promise! How could you a.s.sign him to this person? We agreed it would be a novice! You've already taken the money!"

Zhu Yun replied leisurely, "First, let me correct you. The money was handed over to the underground arena. I haven't filled my own pockets. Besides, fighters below the third level can compete with each other. I haven't violated any rules of the arena."

Old He clenched his fist. "But you promised..."

Zhu Yun innocently said, "I did promise, but that person had some last-minute issue and didn't show up. He stood me up, so what could I do? The only option left was Blade Mountain Traveler. If you're worried about him losing, just have him quickly jump off the platform. Blade Mountain Traveler won't chase him off the platform, and the arena will stop him."

All battles in the arena could only take place on the platform. Once someone stepped off the platform, regardless of the reason, the fight would end, and the one remaining on the platform would be declared the winner.

Given the situation, Old He couldn't argue with Zhu Yun any longer, no matter how angry he was. He had to rush to remind Gu Jiao not to face Blade Mountain Traveler for real.

Just surrender quickly!

He would cover the fine for losing!

That's right, unlike Taihe Martial Arts School, here the fighters would receive a share if they won, but they would be fined if they lost.

The fine would be deducted from the initial deposit, and once it was depleted, they would lose the qualification to fight in the underground arena.

Gu Jiao's deposit was provided by Old He, and he didn't intend to ask Gu Jiao to pay it back.

To understand why Old He was so nervous, we have to start with Blade Mountain Traveler's strength. He had come to the underground arena last month and defeated over twenty skilled fighters in just a short month of fighting.

He was only one fight away from advancing to the next level.

It could be imagined how fiercely he would fight in this match.

Because Blade Mountain Traveler was extremely popular, the western platform was packed with people. The atmosphere was highly charged, and no matter how hard Old He tried, he couldn't squeeze his way in.

He became frantic and jumped up in the crowd, waving at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao saw him and waved back.

"Come down!" Old He changed to beckoning gestures. Seeing that Gu Jiao didn't understand, he pointed at Blade Mountain Traveler, then at Gu Jiao, and made a throat-slitting gesture.

The meaning was clear—— he would kill her! So come down quickly!

Gu Jiao nodded in response and made an OK gesture, indicating that she would knock out Blade Mountain Traveler quickly and end the fight.

Old He: Okay, she understands.

Old He didn't get what her gesture meant, but Gu Jiao nodded at him, so she probably understood his meaning, right?

The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and the duel began! Everyone shouted enthusiastically, "Blade Mountain Traveler! Blade Mountain Traveler! Blade Mountain Traveler!"

Blade Mountain Traveler stretched his neck, cracked his fists, and walked contemptuously towards Gu Jiao.

Old He grew anxious, "Why isn't she coming down? Come down! Come down quickly—"

Alas.

Why was he so impatient?

Fine, I’ll do as you wish.

Gu Jiao tiptoed, her body lightly leaped like a swan, and she threw a punch at Blade Mountain Traveler!

Blade Mountain Traveler also revealed his iron-like fist——

There was a loud bang, and a figure fell to the ground!

The shouts abruptly ceased, and there was a collective gasp from the audience!

The one who actually fell wasn't the delicate young man, but the mighty Blade Mountain Traveler!

One punch...

She only threw one punch!

As Blade Mountain Traveler fell, Gu Jiao gracefully landed, her knee touching the ground and her fist pressing against the platform beside Blade Mountain Traveler.

The whole underground arena fell into silence, and even Old He was speechless.

Did... Did he see it wrong?
