Chapter 644 The Arrogant Sand People
"Young Master Liu, what fine goods have you brought today? Let us take a look!"
The fat shopkeeper looked at the young man who had spoken, his tone full of teasing.
The boy snorted coldly: "You'll find out soon enough. Today's winner is none other than me."
"Well, I can say that easily, but I'm afraid Miss Song and Young Master Ma won't agree."
"What are they compared to my insect? It's not some common, low-quality thing."
"Really?"
The fat shopkeeper looked suspicious.
Soon, all ten players took to the field.
Opposite Ye Kang was a young woman in a white and pink dress, her brows radiating confidence, as if the winner was already predetermined to be hers.
It must be Miss Song.
The host said, "Please be quiet, everyone. All contestants, please release your fighting insects in turn."
A transparent array rose up, isolating an area in front of Ye Kang.
It's like a display area; the fighting insects can't break out unless the formation is closed.
All the audience members held their breath, waiting for the show to begin.
The host walked around and his gaze settled on Young Master Liu, who was standing next to Ye Kang.
"Then please let Young Master Liu go first."
The latter smiled, unable to hide his secret delight.
He searched for a long time before finally managing to get a retired fighting insect from the elimination arena in the county town for this free-for-all.
Although it is old and injured, it is still a fighting insect that has fought its way up in the big city. If it is placed in Blackfire Town, it will be killed indiscriminately.
He was thrilled at the thought of being the first to appear and release the divine insect, and the panicked expressions on people's faces.
Liu Shao lightly tapped his waist with his right hand, and the insect control pouch emitted light. Immediately afterwards, a giant scorpion covered in wounds appeared in the formation.
Ye Kang secretly activated the Azure Eyes of Innocent Delusion and used the knowledge from the Xuanmen Array Solution to see through some of the tricks.
The array set up here is intricate and complex, with layers nested within each other, and it also contains some spatial power.
From the stands, the wounded scorpion appeared to be only about ten feet long, but inside the arena, it was revealed that the scorpion, like the sword and halberd sand scorpion, was also twenty feet long.
The same applies to the fighting arena. It looks like an ordinary arena, but in reality, the interior space is enormous and can certainly accommodate the battle of ten giant insects.
Ye Kang couldn't help but marvel once again at how clever the Wu Dynasty people were.
They put in so much effort just to fight insects, and even developed such an amazing nested formation.
When Liu Shao's giant scorpion appeared, the audience gasped in surprise.
"It's the Poison Prince Scorpion! Equivalent to a top-tier ferocious insect in the Six Palaces!"
"My God! This thing is a mainstay in the insect fighting world, how could it appear here? Doesn't this mean the championship is a sure thing!"
"Not necessarily. Look, this Poison Prince Scorpion is in a very strange state and is covered in injuries. It must be a retired fighting insect that has been eliminated."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering how Young Master Liu could possibly get his hands on such good stuff. Turns out he was collecting junk."
The shock lasted only a few breaths before knowledgeable viewers pointed out the key to the matter.
The shocking scene that Liu Shao had imagined did not occur; instead, a lot of mocking voices appeared.
This made him so angry that his face changed color, and he immediately roared, "What do you know! I am a fierce general who has fought on the battlefield and won thirty-two victories and lost seven!"
The mockery grew louder.
Seeing this, the host quickly asked the next contestant to demonstrate their insect fighting skills.
Soon, one ferocious fighting insect after another was displayed, and finally it was Ye Kang's turn.
All eyes turned to him, wanting to see what kind of insect this young man from the First Palace could produce.
Ye Kang remained expressionless and tapped the insect-controlling pouch.
The next second, the sword and halberd appeared.
It was no longer as agitated as it had been when it was captured; instead, it remained motionless, quietly staying within the isolation array, undisturbed by the world.
But as soon as he appeared, the entire audience fell silent.
Jin Lingfeng, sitting in the audience, crossed his legs and smiled slightly.
Shocked faces appeared one after another, followed by a series of gasps of surprise.
"Sword and halberd sandbag! It's a sword and halberd sandbag!"
"One of the top kings of the Nascent Soul Realm! The berserk Grim Reaper of the desert! It's actually true!"
"Completely unharmed, in excellent condition, and radiating the aura of an adult, this is actually a sword-and-halberd sand dwarf of exceptional quality!"
The entire audience erupted in cheers.
Although they live on the edge of the desert, the place is small after all, and good stuff like swords, halberds, and sandbags won't be left for the insect fighting arena in Blackfire Town.
Once they appear, they are sent directly to the county seat.
Therefore, this was the first time most people had ever seen this legendary king of the insect fighting arena in person.
Insect fighting is also divided into levels, based on the strength of the martial artist, such as the Nascent Soul Realm and the Star Luo Realm.
Within the Transformation Realm, the Sword-Halve Sandworm is one of the fighting insects standing at the pinnacle.
Ye Kang's opponents were immediately stunned.
The fat shopkeeper was pale, and cold sweat dripped down his face.
He was so regretful his teeth turned green; he had spent a fortune to acquire a high-quality insect.
I was planning to make a fortune here, but I never expected to run into such a tough opponent in the very first game!
Oh no, we've really lost out this time!
Liu Shao was also stunned, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't know what to say.
Although his Poison Prince Scorpion was also a top player in the Nascent Soul stage, it was getting old!
This is a sword-and-halberd sand dagger in its prime, how can this be compared!
That won't do! If we lose the Poison Prince Scorpion in the very first match, my father will kill me!
He immediately roared, "Who are you! Where did you steal these swords and halberds from!"
Ye Kang glanced at him and said indifferently, "I am from the Black Desert."
"Black Desert!"
"So he's a sand tribesman!"
"No wonder. It's normal for the sand people to be able to find the sword and halberd sand cloak, but how did he, a mere palace-level cultivator, manage to capture it?"
"Are you all idiots? He's definitely not an ordinary sandman. He might be a scion of one of those powerful forces. Otherwise, how could he get his hands on such a rare item?"
"Hmph, he's just a barbaric sandman, coming to Blackfire Town to cause trouble. He's got some nerve."
Countless people started discussing it.
After listening to these conversations, Ye Kang understood.
So it turns out that the people of Shamin were looked down upon. I never imagined that regional discrimination existed even in the Wu Dynasty.
At that moment, a cold voice rang out.
"Alright, whoever he is, I won't lose this match. Let's start."
Ye Kang looked to his left front.
Beside Song Qili was a long-haired gentleman dressed in an elegant black robe.
He held a folding fan in his hand, his eyes filled with disdain.
His fighting insect was a heavy beetle covered in sharp spikes.
The moment he opened his mouth, the entire audience fell silent.
"That's right, Young Master Ma is a veteran of countless insect battles and will never lose!"
"Go, Young Master Ma! Teach that arrogant sandman a lesson!"
Ye Kang was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Where did you see me as arrogant? I haven't said a single boastful word.
