Chapter 2000: Chapter 1992: Ten Moves Are Enough
"Yes, Master. Rest assured, my four masters. I will use every means to kill this Oli on the arena!" The Son of Light, Dun Hao, vowed quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But, what about Elder Bai Yue?" He could see that Bai Yue Elder seemed to have a different attitude towards that newcomer Oli compared to others.
Bing Ge said in a deep voice, "The reason the elder intervened was because we ignored the rules set by the Boundary Ancestor back then. His intervention wasn’t because of that newcomer Oli. Oli is just a freshman at the Emperor Institute, how could he possibly know the elder? So, you don’t need to worry about that. When the time comes, we will handle the elder’s side for you."
Bailuo said, "Moreover, life and death on the arena are matters of fate. Even if you kill that Oli, the elder cannot blame you."
"Yes, Master!" The Son of Light, Dun Hao, replied respectfully, letting out a sigh of relief. Indeed, Bai Yue Elder hadn’t appeared for hundreds of millions of years; he himself had never seen the elder. How could Oli, just a freshman at the Emperor Institute, know Bai Yue Elder?
Once he understood this, he had no more concerns.
Bai Hui pondered, then said, "On the arena, before you strike, provoke this Oli with words and make a bet with him, let him stake the World Ancestor Treasure. That way, after you kill him, we can justifiably take the treasure from him!"
"Rest assured, once we obtain the World Ancestor Treasure, we won’t treat you poorly. By then, the Light Divine Scripture of the Sixteen Layers will be yours, and we’ll give you ten thousand bottles of Angel Soul Jade Divine Pill!"
Light Divine Scripture of the Sixteen Layers!
Ten thousand bottles of Angel Soul Jade Divine Pill!
This offer was undoubtedly extremely tempting.
The Son of Light, Dun Hao, was overjoyed, "Thank you, my four masters!"
"Prepare yourself in the coming days," Bai Hui said, "You and Oli set a date six months earlier, and now more than five months have passed. He should challenge you in the next few days. We have confidence in you, but you must not be careless; that Oli is quite strange."
The Son of Light, Dun Hao, replied respectfully.
The group then finalized some matters about the arena.
A day passed.
Before they knew it, Huang Xiaolong and Bai Yue Elder chatted the entire day.
Bai Yue Elder and Huang Xiaolong mainly talked about some "glorious" deeds from their past with the Light World Ancestor, stories that outsiders did not know, and Huang Xiaolong listened with great interest.
Occasionally, Bai Yue Elder would ask about the current situation outside from Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong told him everything.
When he heard that Dun Hao was in control of the Light God Seal in Light God City, colluding with the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Clan and Chi You Demon Venerable to destroy the Bright Knight Army and to unite the Bright God Realm by killing Huang Xiaolong—all with the support of Bai Hui, Bing Ge, and the others—Bai Yue Elder’s eyes shone like stars: "Don’t worry, I’m still alive, and these small-time scoundrels won’t have their way."
Then he said to Huang Xiaolong, "Do you want me to make a move now and crush Dun Hao?"
Huang Xiaolong was stunned, then broke into a cold sweat. However, he also knew that Bai Yue Elder wasn’t boasting; with his power, crushing Dun Hao wouldn’t be difficult.
"Thank you, Senior Bai Yue," Huang Xiaolong said. "In a year, I plan to raise an army and attack Light God City. If I could get your aid then, we could definitely destroy Light God City and eliminate Dun Hao in one fell swoop."
Bai Yue Elder nodded, "That’s good too. When you raise an army to attack Light God City, I’ll make a move then, and we’ll take them all down."
"Thank you, Senior Bai Yue," Huang Xiaolong said joyfully.
Bai Yue Elder waved his hand, "With my friendship with your master, there’s no need for formalities with me."
"What about Bai Hui, Bing Ge, and the other four vice principals?" Huang Xiaolong asked.
Bai Yue Elder said, "If those four dare to support Dun Hao, I’ll knock all their teeth out and make them search the ground for them."
Half a day later.
Huang Xiaolong finally left World Ancestor Mountain with Bai Yue Elder.
Bai Yue Elder imparted a few heartfelt words to Huang Xiaolong before stepping away, disappearing over the distant horizon after just three steps.
Once Bai Yue Elder left, Dragon Realm’s Son, Ao Ping, who had been waiting outside, finally approached and asked Huang Xiaolong, "Brother, are you all right?"
Huang Xiaolong laughed heartily, "Do I look like someone with problems?" He then changed his tone, "However, I know someone who will have problems soon!"
"Let’s go to Moon Worship Divine City’s arena!"
Dragon Realm’s Son Ao Ping was momentarily stunned, then realized Huang Xiaolong intended to challenge the Son of Light, Dun Hao. His face broke into a grin as he shouted like a farmer driving a cart, "Alright! To the arena!"
The two left World Ancestor Mountain and the Emperor Institute, then headed for Moon Worship Divine City’s arena.
As soon as Huang Xiaolong and Dragon Realm’s Son Ao Ping left the Emperor Institute, news of Huang Xiaolong challenging the Son of Light, Dun Hao, spread throughout Moon Worship Divine City. Almost instantly, powerful figures from all directions flocked to the arena.
"The Emperor Institute student who deciphered the four characters of Moon Worship Academy, Oli, is challenging the Son of Light, Dun Hao! This will be an incredible battle, a true dragon-tiger struggle!"
"Not necessarily. Oli may have deciphered the four characters of Moon Worship Academy, indicating he’s a prodigious talent, but arena battles are about strength. Oli is only a Second Level Emperor; he can’t possibly be a match for the Son of Light, Dun Hao!"
"Indeed, if I were Oli, I’d utilize the World Ancestor Treasure’s resources for better cultivation first. Only after getting significantly stronger would I consider challenging the Son of Light, Dun Hao. To rush into it now is unwise and too impulsive!"
As they headed to the arena, the gathered powerful figures spoke energetically.
The Young City Lord of Fengdu City, Qin Huangzhong, and the Young Palace Master of Smoke Water Palace, He Jingyi, among others, also hurried toward the arena upon hearing the news.
"What a pity," Qin Huangzhong shook his head on the way. "I initially planned to recruit Oli!" Like most powerful figures, he believed Oli was heading towards certain death by stepping into the arena.
"Young City Lord, should we intervene and save Oli when the time comes?" an Ancestor under Qin Huangzhong asked.
Qin Huangzhong replied, "If we intervene, we’ll definitely disrupt the arena rules. Not only would we offend the Son of Light, Dun Hao, but we’d also offend Moon Worship Academy. For someone like Oli, it’s not worth it. Even if we save Oli, we wouldn’t escape the Bright God Realm. Let’s leave Oli to his fate."
A day later, Huang Xiaolong and Dragon Realm’s Son Ao Ping appeared in front of the Moon Worship Divine City’s arena. By this time, the arena’s surroundings were packed tightly with various powerful figures, but upon seeing Huang Xiaolong and Dragon Realm’s Son Ao Ping arrive, the crowd made way for them.
The Son of Light, Dun Hao, with his hands behind his back, was evidently already waiting on the arena for some time.
Huang Xiaolong stepped onto the arena.
The two faced off.
"You finally came," a minute later, the Son of Light, Dun Hao, broke the silence. "You have a wager with Ao Ping, that you’d defeat me within ten moves. Do you still think you can defeat me in ten moves? If you regret it and cancel the wager with Ao Ping, there’s still time."
"No need," Huang Xiaolong said. "Ten moves will be enough to defeat you!"
A small stir erupted around them.
