The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 26 Challenging the Yellow Ranking

The bet was about to start soon. Gu Ruochen flew up in her black clothes. The big knife on her shoulder did not move at all, and she stared straight ahead.

Chu Qianye was secretly astonished. This youth had the aura of a death warrior on him. It was a kind of tenacity that came from climbing up from the bottom, as wild as a wild beast.

In that county city, he had personally seen a young man carrying a coffin in a world of ice and snow. That was a willow coffin cast from gold, weighing at least three to four hundred jin.

However, this ten-year-old youth relied on his own body to pull a heavy coffin.

He didn't use his Mystic Qi!

This Gu Ruochen before him also possessed that sort of toughness to her. She was someone who belonged to the lowest rung of society, someone who would not lower her head before reality and would not submit or scratch herself.

“Even if this Gu Ruochen is unable to enter the rankings, she would at least be able to obtain eight to nine successive victories.”

Chu Qianye immediately came to a conclusion.

“I, Gu Ruochen, swear to enter the ranking and accept the challenges of any Yellow Realm practitioner!”

Gu Ruochen put down her large blade and looked around. Her voice was clearly transmitted into everyone’s ears.

Chu Qianye’s eyes narrowed into a slit.

This youth had a good temperament and wasn’t afraid at all in front of so many people. It looked like he had made ample preparations.

The Martial Arena was opened by the Martial Market. It had a long history and had a pivotal position and influence in the Mystical Mystic Qi. It represented the Martial Soul of martial artists and was also a place where martial artists became famous.

Do you want to attract the attention of a strong power? Challenging the Martial Arena, no matter what level you were at, you would receive varying degrees of attention.

Whoever won the challenge would be able to enter the ranking list, and they would also be rewarded with generous rewards, thus becoming famous all over the world.

If one's ranking was high, even if one left the Water Cloud County and entered another country, one would have a good reputation.

There were four main arenas in the martial arts arena, namely the Yellow Realm Hall, the Black Level Hall, the Earth Level Hall, and the Heaven Level Hall. They corresponded to the Yellow Ranking, the Black Ranking, the Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking.

On any list, so long as one was able to obtain 10 successive victories, one would be able to enter the list, and the more victories one obtained, the higher one’s ranking would be.

Of course, these were the intelligence collected from various places in the Martial Market, and the list of talents was finally sorted out.

In other words, if one wanted to enter the four rankings, one had to first enter the combat arena to participate in battles. This was the foundation formed by the four rankings.

In a small place like the Water Cloud County, there were only two arenas, the Huang Extreme Arena and the Xuan Extreme Arena. As for the Earth Extreme Arena and the Heaven Extreme Arena, they were not built at all.

“Alright, I’ll challenge you!”

Right after Gu Ruochen finished saying those words, a beautiful shout sounded like thunder.

A white clothed woman held the Cyan Jade Sword in her hand as she stood before Gu Ruochen.

“You are no match for me,” Gu Ruochen said indifferently. Her body shifted, and the blade she held in her hand hacked down. Sensing the frightening killing intent, the woman’s expression immediately changed.

Sure enough, the woman was simply unable to withstand Gu Ruochen’s fatal attack, and was defeated in a single strike.

The first round, victory!

The second round, victory!

The third round, victory!

...

The seventh round, victory!

After winning seven rounds in a row, wild yells and cries of surprise rang out endlessly in the Yellow Extreme Arena. To be able to win seven rounds in a row in the arena, one’s strength was already very strong and one’s talent was also quite good.

Even if such a person failed the ninth round, they would still receive olive branches from certain powers.

However, after the eighth match, the martial cultivator would become even more powerful.

That was because only those who had won nine matches in a row were qualified to challenge Gu Ruochen.

None of the candidates who had won eight matches in a row were weak.

They were all vicious people!

It was already pretty good for Gu Ruochen to be able to reach this point.

Chu Qianye had vaguely discerned his aura. Continuous battles had drained him greatly, and he had been pinned down by the enemy for too long—he was at a disadvantage.

Indeed, during the ninth match, even though he had rested for a short period of time, he was still unable to recover to his peak state. Someone used a spear to send him out of the dueling platform.

Many people felt pity in their hearts when they saw this.

"Young Master Chu, congratulations on winning the bet! According to the winning rate and commission taken from the market, you’ll obtain 170,000 gold coins in the end," the maid Xiao Ya respectfully said.

Chu Qianye’s expression froze as though he hadn’t expected to win the bet.

He couldn't help squinting his eyes into a slit.

The odds were incredible. If he were to bet all of these coins on himself, wouldn’t he be able to earn one million gold coins?

At the thought of this, Chu Qianye immediately became excited.

“Heh-heh, I was just lucky,” Chu Qianye replied. Although he had placed his bet according to his own predictions, he had never placed too much hope on it. In the end, however, his bet had paid off.

Xiao Ya, the maid, gave a noncommittal smile.

The people who came here were either rich or noble, or martial practitioners. She didn’t believe that Chu Qianye didn’t have any eyesight at all.

"I want to challenge those on the Yellow List."

Chu Qianye gazed at the stage with an eager expression.

He had not only come here to gamble in martial arts. He had come to increase his strength.

Only by ascending the stage would he be able to rapidly grow.

The maid Xiao Ya was startled for a moment, but she quickly gave Chu Qiany a life and death contract.

“Just sign the Life and Death Contract here.”

Chu Qianye nodded lightly, bit his finger, and used his fingernails to write his name.

“Oh yes, I would like to trouble you with something. Put all the gold I won on me. Put me on the list.”

The servant girl’s beautiful face was filled with shock.

"This is too funny. He actually bet all the gold coins he won on me, and the most important thing is that he bet on entering the list!"

"Shame on you. Your self-confidence is too strong, isn't it?"

She wanted to dissuade Qianye, but the maid had no choice but to follow him since he was slowly walking toward the arena.

"I'll give you a chance to make a fortune. Put all your gold coins on me."

The servant girl walked behind Chu Qianye. Chu Qianye suddenly turned around and said.

Xiao Ya was stunned and looked at Chu Qianye with a complicated expression.

Her family background was not very good. She had thought about gambling with martial arts and trying her luck. Maybe it could change her fate, but after losing several times, she no longer dared to gamble with martial arts.

However, looking at Chu Qianye’s back right now, she was suddenly at a loss.

“To gamble or not?”

Her monthly income was only five silver coins. If she really bet everything on Chu Qianye, what if she lost? Her family still hoped that she could help with this little income.

Even though this was the case, she was still struggling.

The calmness and confidence with which Chu Qianye turned around was something she had never seen before. She had served those warriors before, and she had once spoken of her grand aspirations, but in the end, she had failed.

Would he be the same?

She watched Chu Qianye turn around and leave, and only came to after a long while.

“Why don’t we make another bet?” She bit her lip, a conflicted look in her eyes.

Chu Qianye paid no attention to what the other party was thinking. He walked straight toward the arena in white and soon entered everyone’s field of vision.

"Who is this guy? He's so thin, but he wants to challenge the Yellow List?"

“Stop messing around. Little brother, you’re still drinking milk, right? Hurry up and get off the stage.”

“Damnit, the hearts of men really aren’t as ancient as they used to be. Are people overestimating their abilities now?”

"Shou Hou, we are not in the mood to watch your performance. Get out of here!"

Chu Qianye exploded the moment he appeared on the arena.
