Chapter 252 - 249: Making the List
A new contender on the Battle List!
Gasps of amazement rippled through the audience. A mere title was a goal many longed to strive endlessly for, and they never expected to witness the birth of a new Battle List master today, especially one who was an unknown youth.
Of course, "unknown" was a term of the past. Now that he had risen to become a master on the Battle List, Ye Xuan’s name would soon spread far and wide.
However, Ye Xuan himself wasn’t particularly interested in his ranking on the Battle List. His reason for engaging in twenty consecutive battles was more to challenge masters as well as the reward for twenty consecutive victories: one hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills.
Certainly, Ye Xuan was yet unaware that Lady Xuan had already earned him nearly a million Xuanyuan Pills. Compared with that fortune, the reward for twenty consecutive victories paled into insignificance.
It also showed the generous spirit of those from the Chaotic Sea Domain. In the Tiannan Region, Xuanyuan Pills were generally used for personal cultivation, never given away in such quantities for rewards and gambling.
In terms of cultivation resources, the Tiannan Region naturally couldn’t hold a candle to the Chaotic Sea Domain; thus, its powerhouses were significantly stronger than those of the same grade from Tiannan due to the abundance of resources, resulting in a firmer foundation and a greater number of masters.
Besides, Ye Xuan had always preferred to keep a low profile. In the Chaotic Sea Domain, where powerful and strange figures were abundant, attracting too much attention wasn’t good. Of course, this was just Ye Xuan’s personal view; for anyone else placed on the Battle List, they’d probably be overjoyed, basking in the attention of thousands and the adoration of numerous young women.
Twenty battles, with only the final one left.
The martial artists watching secretly speculated who would be chosen for the twentieth bout, to stand as the Gatekeeper.
Indeed, after Du Hanlin’s defeat, many believed there was no need for the twentieth match. At the very least, Ye Xuan seemed to be in good shape, unharmed. If the arena was willing to show leniency, they could just go through the motions with a decent opponent for the final round.
