Finishing speaking, the middle-aged women left in a hurry. Before long, she came back with a serious-looking man.
The man was wearing a diamond mask and walked in with an intrepid aura. He was a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert who enjoyed a very high status in the merchant house. Moreover, he was ranked as a diamond grade gladiator.
The gladiators were classified into four grades; bronze, silver, gold, and diamond. The diamond grade represented not the gladiator’s power, but talent, competence in grade-skipping fights and winning rate.
Normally, the bet of a pricey item would be assigned to the diamond grade gladiator.
This diamond grade gladiator in front of people’s eyes was the merchant house’s trump card- Meng Long. He was a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert who had defeated Transcendence Ninth Realm experts before.
The merchant house would usually assign this trump card to fight Transcendence Seventh or Eighth Realm experts.
His win rate was 99 wins out of 99 fights. Therefore, if he could defeat Ye Mo today, he would be the winner pf 100 fights in a row. As a reward, he would be sent to the Chaos Palace for special training.
But Ye Mo was the one who killed so many Profound World Realm experts. Even without the Mountain and River Diagram, the result would be the same. Therefore, when the diamond grade gladiator showed up, he felt nothing at all, just watched him calmly.
It was true that Men Long had incredible power. Ye Mo could sense the difference in him from other Transcendence Sixth Realm experts. Indeed, he could skip levels, but Ye Mo could skip realms.
“I’m the diamond grade gladiator of the merchant house. You can call me Meng Long.”
Meng Long was surprised that Ye Mo stayed so calm, and then he reached out his right hand, said, “May I know where you’re from, my friend? From what city did you collect so many Transcendence Golden Bodies of the Profound World Realm experts?”
“I am just an ordinary cultivator idling around. If you want to fight me, then let’s begin. I don’t wanna waste any more time,” Ye Mo said placidly.
“Are you sure you want to fight me?” Meng Long replied calmly. “Today is my 100th fight. I’ve never lost a fight in all my 99 battles. And you’ll be my 100th triumph. After this fight, I’m gonna leave here for the Chaos Palace.”
“Unfortunately, you met me today,” Ye Mo said with a smile on his face. “I’ve never lost a battle with cultivators on the same level, either. I’ve crushed all of them, always. And you will be no exception. I’ll crush you too.”
“Eh! What a reckless boy you are. I hope you won’t regret what you just said,” Meng Long said indifferently. Of course, he wouldn’t be provoked by Ye Mo’s teasing. Later, he led Ye Mo to the battlefield and two of them entered the Illusion Formation together.
The spectators around were staring at them intently. The two people had entered the Illusion Formation, and, with Meng Long wearing his diamond mask, they could only get hints about the fight from Ye Mo’s face.
To their surprise, Ye Mo’s facial expressions stayed calm the entire time. They couldn’t tell Meng Long’s expression because of the mask. But only a moment later, Meng Long’s body started to shake violently and finally was blown out of the formation. His diamond mask shattered into pieces and he threw up blood painfully.
The violent scene made all of the spectators’ eyes pop. Even the shopkeeper of the merchant house and the appraiser were at a loss.
“How can this be possible? Meng Long has the power to defeat the Transcendence Ninth Realm experts. How could he be defeated in such a short period of time?”
“The diamond grade gladiator Meng Long lost the fight to a cultivator of the same level! This is absolutely unbelievable!”
Ye Mo slowly stepped out the Illusion Formation, a hint of a smile on his face.
“Thank you for letting me win.”
Ye Mo’s words snapped the spectators out of their shock. They now realized that Ye Mo had indeed defeated Meng Long, easily.
“No way! This is not happening! I am Meng Long and I can’t be defeated! I can even fight Half Profound Realm experts. How could I fail like this? I didn’t even withstand one attack.”
Meng Long went berserk on the ground, a hideous expression on his face.
“Not even one attack?” Some of the silver and gold grade gladiators couldn’t help swallowing from fear.
The shopkeeper’s face turned pale too. The battle wasn’t too important, but they had to give up the Primordial Shenrui Blood.
“I won. Give me the Primordial Shenrui Blood.” Ye Mo turned to the shopkeeper.
This was indeed a good business. Not only did he defeat his opponent, but he could take away the treasure without giving up the Transcendence Golden Bodies.
“One moment please,” said the appraiser, and she quickly walked away. A few moments later, she came back holding a transparent flask with a drop of glowing blood in it. Reluctantly, she passed it to Ye Mo.
“That’s right. It is the Primordial Shenrui Blood,” Hong Ling shouted in surprise and confirmed the authenticity of the blood.
Ye Mo took the blood, feeling quite happy. He was worried that the merchant house would break their promise and refuse to give him the blood. But, luckily, he was worried about nothing.
But the whole process of wining the blood went too smoothly, which made him feel a little insecure.
After putting the Primordial Shenrui Blood into the Xu Mi Ring, Ye Mo cupped his hands to the appraiser and shopkeeper. But when he was ready to take off, the shopkeeper said, “My friend, wait a minute.”
“Now what? You want to break the deal?” Ye Mo twisted his face in rage.
“The thing is if you’re all on your own, why don’t you join us? We can hire you as the diamond grade gladiator, winning more resources for us,” the shopkeeper said. “let’s talk about your pay. For every winning battle, you can have half of the resources. But if you lose, you’ll have to pay half of the price to the merchant house.”
“Sorry, not interested,” Ye Mo refused immediately. The only thing he was desperate to do was to test the Primordial Shenrui Blood. He knew that joining them could bring him a lot of resources, but that wasn’t what he really needed.
“My friend, you defeating Meng Long shocked me to the core. I know… I know a cultivator like you must come from some big society, or you must be some big shot expert from the Zone of Lingwu. I also know that you don’t really care about our treasures. But you know what, we have more Primordial Shenrui Blood.”
That got Ye Mo’s attention. But he didn’t show it. He asked, skeptically, “As far as I know, there are only 1,000 drops of Primordial Shenrui Blood in the entire Zone of Chaos. After thousands of years, there must be a limited amount left. How come your merchant house has more?”
“I’ve just asked for instructions from our head. She granted the first Primordial Shenrui Blood, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to give it to you,” the shopkeeper said. “If you’re interested in my offer, I can bring you to our head.”
“Okay, I agree to meet your head, but I’ll send my clone to there for me,” Ye Mo said. Ye Mo knew that, even with the last advancement, he would be no match for Mid-grade Profound World Realm experts. He reckoned the head of the merchant house must be a big shot. Therefore, he had to be extra cautious.
“Haha, good lad, you can’t be too careful, can you? Hopefully, our merchant house can recruit more geniuses like you.”
