Chapter 3200 - No More Enduring Today
It went without saying that the challenge was from Tianming. Most people had figured that he would use Huang Daosheng as a stepping stone to rise into the top hundred. Their grudge had culminated in this very moment!
It was the very stiny Fortuna Arena. Tianming took out his opponent and rose to the rank of 130th, gaining the right to challenge someone in the top hundred. He went from being the only red-and-black nin the Fortuna Ranking in all of history to being the highest-ranked black ring disciple. The names of the top hundred were pure gold; all of them were inner-valley disciples.
Tianming raised his sword and pointed it at the specters, locking his eyes on the gold-haired Little Lion King.
Huang Daosheng's gold hair rose and wildly danced as killing intent seeped out of his deep blue eyes. He mustered his resolve to fight to the death for the fate of his house.
Tianming saw him and the stubborn, yet worried Reverend Daolie, as well as Eminent Tiankui and Yumo Yuanni. He immediately knew that they would stoop however low they could to kill him no matter what.
"The Kilopath Net?" Tianming smirked, but his enemies weren't concerned about him being able to guess what they were going to do. The challenge had already been accepted by Huang Daosheng, so the battle had to happen. Of course, Tianming could choose to not fight and let his rank fall from a default loss.
"Tianming!" Suishen Zhao nervously said, "I heard that Huang Daosheng borrowed the Kilopathfrom Eminent Tiankui to kill you! You know about that artifact, right?"
Tianming nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuishen Yao saw it and seemed troubled. "Those cowards are definitely going to do something shameless. I know they accepted the challenge, but if you don't fight, you'll only fall a little bit in rank. On the other hand, they'll be embarrassed by attempting to use the Kilopath Net."
"Sis, the fight hasn't even happened yet. They won't admit to wanting to use it in the first place. All we need to do is to swap out Tianming's opponent," Suishen Zhao said.
"There's no need," Tianming said.
Suishen Yao raised her eyebrow. "What? Are you trying to show off? The Kilopathis nothing to scoff at. You'll suffer if you underestimate it."
"Little Master, that father and son almost killedat the Skyward Grandpath. I've been waiting for a long tto get my revenge, and that tis now," Tianming said.
Suishen Yao also knew about what had happened during the trial. "That's right! Huang Daolie! I almost forgot about that. He actually tried to kill the top candidate that I personally picked! He is so dead...."
"Will you punish him after this duel?" Tianming asked.
"Are you really going to take the risk? You have the fifth idol to challenge soon. You’ve almost got your hands on the reward, you don't have to give them a chance like this."
"I know. However, I have to openly address this grudge in a place like this. I have to seek redress with my own hands." Tianming had broken through twice in a row and wouldn't be scared by a mere Kilopath Net.
"Fine. Since you made the decision, you'll bear the consequences." Suishen Yao had hoped that Tianming would be more agreeable, only to find that he was stubborn in his own unique way. She was a bit unhappy at how loose a leash she had on him. On the other hand, she also wanted him to do well and boost her reputation.
Her priorities were internally clashing.
Suishen Zhao also wished to see Tianming triumph and told him everything to watch out for about the Kilopath Net. Once more, blazing passion lit up in the hearts of everyone in the colosseum.
Tianming's mind was set.
Eminent Jiguang found his determination rather peculiar. "Yaoyao, your disciple’s stubborn indeed. What if you eventually lose control of him one day?"
"Lose control?" Suishen Yao blew a raspberry and held her aunt's arm tight. "I wouldn't be able to take it if an outsider like that rides over my head."
"Riding you?" Eminent Jiguang looked at her with a smirk. "Hey, I didn't mean it that way!" She pinched her aunt's arm and complained, "Auntie, tellhow I can control him."
"There's an easy way to control hard-headed geniuses like him," Eminent Jiguang said.
"Really?"

Suishen Yao immediately pulled away and glared. "Auntie, are you trying to say something lewd?"
"Matters of love and intimacy are the most beautiful things in the world. How could you call them lewd?" Eminent Jiguang chuckled.
"Since they're so beautiful, why’re you still single at two thousand years old? Everyone in Myriadpath Valley says your Suishen Blood is the thickest in the history—"
Before Suishen Yao could finish, Eminent Jiguang shut her up with a glare. "You’d better watch your words. I haven't met a suitable person yet, unlike you, who has two major pathkeepers as your suitors and even a little disciple of your own!"
Suishen Yao sighed, "Auntie, please don't bring that up anymore. Every tI see those two, my head feels like exploding. The Prehistoric Path is a crisis for me! My doom’s approaching day after day. I feel like killing myself."
"You want to kill yourself? On the contrary, you seem far spunkier than usual. That isn’t what a suicidal person looks like."
"Keep saying that and I'll show you I mean it." Suishen Yao was freaking out.
"Fine, Yaoyao. Little Yue and Little Yuan are decent boys. They're prim and proper. Do you really hate them that much?"
"One’s a stubborn old man close to Dad in age, and the other’s an annoying fly that followsaround with no eye on the bigger picture. How could I like them? The Million Mundi is so big, yet I only have two people to choose from! Apart from me, won't you have to do the sthing in the future? And it's precisely because of you that my dad took so many measures to avoid lettingend up like you!"
"Is that so? Haha... hahaha..." Eminent Jiguang awkwardly laughed.
"Auntie, I beg you! Find someone to marry already! Maybe that way, Dad and Grandpa will givemore room to breathe and enjoy my life!"
"Me? No way. Everyone in House Suishen who's my age has children that’re older than you. All I have now are young little puppies..." Eminent Jiguang sighed.
