Chapter 184: Red Festival - Part 2
Kang Seo-Yeon won the match easily. It was no surprise that she won, but not many people expected her to win like that.
Then Kang Seo-Yeon suddenly turned around. Her eyes focused on a spot in the audience. Then she blew a flying kiss in that direction.
"Huahahaha... Seo-Yeon sent me a kiss!"
"Idiot! That kiss was for me, not you!"
"Stupid! Of course Seo-Yeon sent the kiss to this young master!"
The young men sitting around Heero became hysterical and argued with each other. They fought over the air kiss.
"Oh my... That girl is terrifying..." Heero murmured in a low voice. Despite the noise of the hysterical young men around them, Han Ying, Hong Yu, even Miao Miao and Myung-Hee heard him.
He said this to Kang Seo-Yeon because her little action had caused hysteria among the masses.
Two married women and the two little girls looked at him at the same time.
Heero noticed the strange expression on their faces and asked confusedly, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Sister Seo-Yeon gave you that kiss, Teacher Xing!" Myung-Hee blurted out, confident in her assumption as she continued with a murmur, "I'm pretty sure..."
Heero was taken aback by Myung-Hee's words. He immediately looked at his two wives and blurted out, "Don't tell me you thought the same?"
Han Ying and Hong Yu nodded, "She was the one who booked the seat, so I am pretty sure that the kiss..." Han Ying did not finish her sentence.
Kang Seo-Yeon certainly knew where their seats were. So she was pretty sure that the kiss was for her husband.
"Mnn... Later, don't treat her coldly! She's a good girl!" Hong Yu whispered into Heero's ears, causing Heero's lips to twitch.
"Alright, let's not talk about it! Let's watch the next match..." Heero tried to change the subject.
"But she was good. At least her archery is excellent!" He tried hard to change the subject by praising the girl.
However, he only got an even more intense look from the two little girls while Hong Yu smiled with a "I know it~" face.
Meanwhile, a medical team entered the stage. They were administering first aid to Darrius, who had received an arrow in his thigh.
"Stop it, Lass! Stop making a fuss and get down!" Long Bin was left speechless by Kang Seo-Yeon's action and told her to go down while shaking his head.
"Okay, Grandpa Long!" Kang Seo-Yeon smiled sweetly and left the stage.
As the girl went back to the waiting room, the noisy arena calmed down a bit and the second match started.
In the 7th match, a big name appeared.
[Musashi Naizen (#1) vs. Guo Pao (#245)]
To the surprise of the audience, Guo Pao ran off the stage as soon as his name appeared next to Musashi Naizen's. Without any embarrassment, he raised his hand and conceded defeat before Musashi Naizen appeared.
The crowd was disappointed as they did not get to see the Emperor Class Hero - Rank 7 in action. However, none of the spectators blamed Guo Pao for his actions.
His opponent was the number one seed, while his number was far behind, indicating that he was far weaker than Musashi Naizen.
The result was already a foregone conclusion, even if there was no concession on Guo Pao's part. With the disappointment of not seeing Musashi Naizen, another big name appeared in the next match.
[Wei Tian (#2) vs. Shiran Mukhan (#157)]
Wei Tian was the newly promoted Legendary Class Ranker. His number told people that he was the strongest competitor after Musashi Naizen.
As for his opponent, he was a Gold Class Hero - rank 78, and he was a local hero from Star City, Shiran Mukhan.
As Wei Tian entered the arena, the crowd gasped in surprise at Wei Tian's outfit. He was wearing a white shirt and black hoodie with short jeans.
He was a typical teenager hanging out with his friend. In addition, Wei Tian was not wearing any protective gear.
Wei Tian's outfit made Long Bin's forehead wrinkle. He clearly disliked the young man in front of him and muttered, "As expected from a ranker..."
Long Bin did not bother to remind Wei Tian to wear protective gear. It was a useless action, so he did not bother.
Wei Tian smiled when he heard Long Bin's remark.
Shiran Mukhan climbed onto the stage with two blunt machetes. They were sparring machetes provided by the committee.
As soon as he saw his opponent, Shiran Mukhan furrowed his brow. It was clear that his opponent was looking down on him, but he said nothing when he realised that his opponent had a reason to look down on him.
Tsk, what bad luck! My first fight and I have to face a Legendary Class Ranker. No matter, this will be a new experience for me...'
Shiran Mukhan tried to think positively about this fight. Even though he knew what was in store for him, he took this chance to gain more experience. Only in Fighter Anteriority would he have a chance to spar with such a figure.
Shiran Mukhan raised his machetes, then Wei Tian's arrogant voice mixed with surprise resounded, "What? You want to challenge me? Really?"
"Do you know who I am? I am Wei Tian, the Legendary Class Ranker! You should make a wise decision just like Naizen's opponent, admit your defeat! Don't waste my time, weakling!"
The words were broadcast throughout the arena, and everyone heard them. The buzzing arena was instantly silenced by these words, while Shiran Mukhan's face turned red with humiliation.
Long Bin just shook his head and looked at Shiran Mukhan. His gaze asked the man if he wanted to continue the fight or admit defeat.
Even though he disagreed with Wei Tian's actions, the difference was there, the gap between the two was just too big.
"No! I want to continue the fight!" Despite the humiliation, Shiran Mukhan endured it, his fighting spirit blazing.
When Wei Tian heard the answer, a malicious gleam flashed in his eyes. His carefree attitude was gone, replaced by an expressionless face.
"Good!" Long Bin nodded and slammed his staff down.
Bam! "Start!"
Wei Tian wasted no time as he ran towards Shiran Mukhan. His speed was neither too fast nor too slow. But it was slow considering that Wei Tian was a Legendary Class Ranker.
Soon, the distance between Wei Tian and Shiran Mukhan was only five metres. Just when everyone thought that the two of them would collide, an astonishing scene unfolded.
No... it was not surprising, it was strange, for Shiran Mukhan was rooted to the spot. He did not move even though his opponent was right in front of him.
Strangely, Shiran Mukhan stood on the spot and let Wei Tian grab his neck.
Wei Tian lifted Shiran Mukhan into the air. Shiran Mukhan struggled but could not free himself from the strong grip.
With a single glance, the winner was decided. Long Bin immediately announced the result, "Wei Tian has won!"
However, Wei Tian did not let go of Shiran Mukhan's neck. He wanted to kill Shiran Mukhan.
"Release your hand! Now!" Long Bin knew immediately that Wei Tian wanted to kill Shiran Mukhan. He shouted, but Wei Tian ignored his warning.
"I say... let him go!" Old Man Long Bin appeared beside the two participants and his steel staff descended onto Wei Tian's arm.
Wei Tian immediately pulled his hand back, but kicked his right foot towards the falling Shiran Mukhan.
But it was in vain as his kick landed on the steel staff.
"So you test my patience!" Long Bin's old voice rang out. Right after he blocked the kick, the steel staff swung towards Wei Tian's neck.
Wei Tian was surprised, but his reaction was quite quick. He ducked his head to avoid the steel staff. Just as he was about to charge at the old man, he felt the steel staff descend towards him, aiming for his head.
"Urghhh!" Wei Tian groaned in frustration, not expecting the old man's attack to be so quick. He immediately rolled his body to the right.
Boom!
The booming sound echoed from his back. Wei Tian immediately stood up, and when he raised his head, he was shocked to see the steel rod right in front of his face.
Just as he thought that the steel would hit his face, the steel staff changed direction, descended, and landed right between his feet.
Boom!
The steel staff stood straight in front of him and Wei Tian rooted to the spot.
"This is your first warning! If you ignore my words once more, this staff will crush your head for real!"
"Woaaaaa!"
The whole arena shouted in surprise.
Wei Tian gritted his teeth and turned around. He had not expected the gap between him and Long Bin to be so wide. He was powerless against a new member of The Elder.
As Wei Tian stepped down from the stage, a replay appeared on the big screen. A replay between Wei Tian and Shiran Mukhan.

In the waiting room, Hero Dome
"Huhu... There's an interesting guy..." Musashi Hirata remarked as he watched the replay, but then his gaze returned to his smartwatch.
"What are you doing?" Sun Zhou Yi, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously.
"Ah, I am looking at the list of who I have to crush later when I meet them in the match!" Hirata replied nonchalantly.
Sun Zhou Yi moved closer to see the list and asked again, "Why do you want to crush them? Do you have a grudge?"
The list was not very long, but Sun Zhou Yi found some famous names on it.
"No! But these guys have insulted Master before, but Master was benevolent and let them go unpunished. I want to teach these guys that they have offended the wrong person!"
Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon's lips twitched when they heard the reason.
"Oy! Your names up!" Sun Zhou Yi nudged Hirata as he looked at the screen.
Hirata looked up and sure enough, it was his turn to fight. His eyes moved to the name of his opponent.
[Arun Seth (#30) vs. Musashi Hirata (#147)]
He looked back at his smartwatch, surprisingly, Arun Seth was on the list.
Hirata rose from his seat with a grin and thought to himself, "How should I punish this guy? Breaking his four limbs is a good punishment. Ah, how about five, since he dared to attack the master...' He thought.
He thought about how to punish his opponent, not caring that Arun Seth was a Crown Class Ranker - rank 26.
