Chapter 120: To rig a boxing match.
"Did you hear? Fairy Mei is the one holding the lecture today!" Lee kept hearing people telling each other on the way to the training grounds.
As usual, he pretended to be limping on the way, but was already getting annoyed by the act, and questioned whether he should drop the act.
This was only Lee’s third time to fight in the arena, but on the previous days he overheard people discuss the lectures that were held here. This time, though, he arrived much earlier, and the current crowd could easily be compared to the numbers of Lunax’s followers that gathered in front of the rift gate before they were sent on a conquest.
While standing in the back, Lee wondered at what level one had to be for everyone wait for them with such enthusiasm. He was clearly late and there was no chance for him to get to closer to the elevated platform the lecturer was supposed to sit on. It was regrettable he wouldn’t be able to hear anything, but it was fine, he was not in a rush – there will be always more lectures.
The crowd had to wait for a while, but when with a gust of wind, a girl appeared on the platform, people gasped in ecstasy. Lee couldn’t tell whether she was pretty or not, but the light green robe, similar to the hair that stretched to her knees, accentuated her slim body, and for most people it probably was enough.
Turns out there was more to her.
"Hello!" Lee heard her say, similar to how Lunax was heard across the crowds.
It was obvious that the speaker was smiling while she spoke, but while the rest of the crowd enjoyed the sweetness of her voice, Lee was more interested what trick she used to be heard by everyone. The best guess was that it was the result of the girl using an artifact. Since if it was possible to create a bottomless bag like his, Lee was certain that the Refining Hall could craft anything they wanted.
The lecture was about sensing the elemental energies using simple cultivation techniques, and for the most present was too basic. Despite that, countless guys in the crowd murmured or even said out loud promises of eternal love, while the girls watched their idol with starry eyes.
