During these days in Zhangwei Mountain, Xu Chunniang's life ushered in a brief period of peace. She read the formation book every day and chatted with Xiaobai, which was quite interesting.
But she knew in her heart that such days would not last long, and leisure time was never a necessity for her.
The years passed quickly in the mountains, and a month went by in the blink of an eye. Today is the last day of the truce. Xu Chunniang bid farewell to Xiaobai and left Zhangwei Mountain with Gong Lao.
Mr. Gong is rubbing his hands, ready to do something big.
A while ago, he placed bets in the fighting arena. Although the amount of money bet on each fight was not much, he won a lot of fairy crystals in total, almost exceeding his annual income.
Xu Chun has been on hiatus for the past five months. Without this extra source of income, Mr. Gong feels like something is missing.
He had finally waited for her to return to the fighting arena, so he had to seize the opportunity.
But what Mr. Gong did not expect was that as soon as Xu Chunniang returned to the fighting arena, she would face a powerful enemy.
Her first duel was two days later. Her opponent was an abyss stone man named Shilin who was invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire.
As a top-level fighter of Class C, Shi Lin has accumulated some fame in the fighting arena with his extraordinary talent and extremely high winning rate.
Some people say that with Shi Lin's strength, he could have reached Class B long ago. He has been staying in the Class C arena to hone his strength and strengthen his body.
Shi Lin himself neither admitted nor denied this statement, but some people found out after careful comparison that in the past two or three years, Shi Lin's stone man's body has become increasingly solid, and is not inferior to the top-grade immortal weapons of human immortals.
After learning the news, Mr. Gong was still a little uneasy. After specifically inquiring about Shi Lin's news, he went to Xu Chunniang with a worried look on his face.
"I've inquired about it. This Shi Lin is a stone man from the abyss. His stone body is as tough as a fairy weapon. He is not easy to deal with. To be honest, even if I, an old man, fight him, I don't have much confidence in winning."
Xu Chunniang didn't expect that Mr. Gong would make a special trip for this matter. She was surprised and also a little touched.
She knew that Mr. Gong was looking up this information for her not just for the immortal crystals, otherwise why would he make this special trip
She recalled the information that Monkey and the others had found out for her, and after a moment's silence, she said, "The Abyss Stonemen are indeed very strong, but they are not without weaknesses. The stonemen are heavy and slow in movement, so I just need to not use force against them."
Old Gong shook his head in disagreement, "If that were the case, I wouldn't have made this trip. Do you know that Shi Lin's stone body is just his incarnation
He has another real body, hidden in the stone body, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow. "
Xu Chunniang was really surprised this time, "Is this true?"
Monkey and his companions were only D-level fighters, and the information they could obtain was extremely limited, so they did not know that Shi Lin's stone body was an incarnation.
Since entering the arena, Xu Chunniang has been keeping to herself and seldom made friends with other people. Before this, she didn't even know there was a person named Shi Lin in the arena.
Old Gong nodded solemnly, "Xu girl, how are you going to deal with this battle
Although you have mastered a lot of power of laws, it is already known to everyone. As long as Shi Lin prepares some immortal tools and treasures before the fight, your power of laws can be greatly reduced. "
Xu Chunniang also thought of this and frowned slightly.
In fact, the number of laws she mastered far exceeded everyone's imagination.
But a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. She is a small immortal with no background, but winning twenty or thirty games in the arena is already eye-catching enough. If she reveals more strength, she may be targeted by those big forces again and marked by them.
Thinking of this, Xu Chunniang felt a chill on her back and broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat.
If you think about it carefully, it is actually unreasonable that she met such a strong opponent like Shi Lin just after she was promoted to Class C senior fighter.
She knew that the arena was arranged like this because of her winning streak and her rising popularity, but Shi Lin's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Class C upper fighter, and he was even one level higher than her.
If the other party prepared targeted magical weapons and treasures to deal with her, she might not be able to win against Shi Lin without revealing more of her strength.
So... was this arrangement made in the arena just a coincidence, or was it intended to force out more of her strength
The more Xu Chunniang thought about it, the calmer she became. In the past few months, in order to earn more fairy crystals, she had been winning non-stop.
But after winning, you will continue to advance and meet stronger opponents.
Of course, she earned a lot of fairy crystals in a short period of time, but it also attracted the attention of many people and put herself in the spotlight.
Shi Lin, she is confident that she can win, but after defeating Shi Lin, there will be more and stronger opponents waiting for her.
Above Class B, there is Class A. She has no background in the fairy world, and if she walks too fast, she will only end up with a bloody head.
This can't go on any longer.
Xu Chunniang became increasingly aware of this point. She must lose this battle with Shi Lin!
Not only did she have to lose, but she had to lose truly and miserably, so that everyone could see that her strength was “nothing more than that.”
"Xu girl, I'm asking you a question, why are you daydreaming?"
Old Gong waved his hand in front of Xu Chunniang's eyes, "Be honest with me, an old man. How confident are you that you can win this battle against Shi Lin?"
Xu Chunniang came back to her senses, sighed helplessly, and held up a finger, "Less than 10%."
Old Gong's breath was choked. "How could it be less than 10%, are you making fun of me?"
After witnessing Xu Chunniang's winning streak, Mr. Gong now has a blind confidence in her. Shi Lin is a bit tricky, but his winning rate shouldn't be that low, right
Xu Chunniang spread her hands, speaking in an innocent tone.
"You just said that Shi Lin has tempered his stone body to be extremely hard. His stone body is comparable to a divine weapon. Even if he stands there and lets me hit him, I can't do anything to him with my stone chisel."
Old Gong glared and said, "The quarrying chisel is a tool for quarrying stones. You are just fooling around and treating it as a magic weapon. What use is it
"There are still two days before the competition begins, so hurry up and buy a suitable immortal weapon! Yes, hurry up!"
Xu Chunniang blinked and said frankly, "I have no money!"
"If you don't have money, I'll lend it to you, for free, without charging interest!"
Boss Gong waved his hand and almost dragged her out.
Xu Chunniang sighed softly, "Not to mention that we don't have enough time, ordinary immortal weapons probably can't even break Shi Lin's skin."
Old Gong knew that what she said was right. He sighed and complained, "You shouldn't have returned to Zhangwei Mountain a month ago. You should have stayed in the city to find a handy immortal weapon. You wouldn't be left without a decent immortal weapon."
