章 333: Chapter 333: Making Money
...
Late at night.
On a dark alley in Heaven Dou City, a dark figure was slowly moving.
Tap, tap, tap~
In the quiet night alley, the soft footsteps echoed rhythmically. Occasionally, a few barks from dogs could be heard, adding a sinister and terrifying atmosphere to the night.
The regular footsteps continued to echo in the alley until they reached the end. The footsteps stopped, and silence filled the air.
In the sky, dark clouds moved slowly, revealing a bright crescent moon. Gentle moonlight poured down from the night sky, illuminating the end of the alley.
Under the moonlight, a figure emerged from the darkness. The person appeared to be a man in his sixties, but despite his age, he stood tall and alert, not like an ordinary old man.
He turned around, facing the dark alley, his eyes flickering with coldness. He snorted coldly at the empty surroundings, "Whoever you are, you've been following me for so long. You can come out now."
After a few seconds, footsteps echoed again in the dark alley.
Tap, tap, tap~
A figure in a black robe walked out from the darkness and stood in front of the old man.
Facing the lone figure, the old man's expression remained unchanged. He squinted his eyes at the person in the black robe and asked, "What do you want from me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold aura pervaded the alley, followed by a powerful gust of wind. Terrifying and surging spirit power swept through the surrounding space.
Under the old man's feet, spirit rings lit up one after another.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple, Black, Black!
Seven spirit rings surrounded the old man, emitting a terrifying spirit power fluctuation. From the number of spirit rings, it could be seen that the old man was a Spirit Saint, although his combination of spirit rings was not the most ideal, it was still not to be underestimated.
Controlled by the old man's thought, the intimidating pressure of a Spirit Saint surged towards the mysterious person in the black robe.
However, the person in the black robe showed no signs of wavering under this pressure of Spirit Saint level. The loose black robe fluttered in the wind, but the hood on the person's head remained in place, still concealing their face.
The old man was surprised to see that the person in black robe didn't waver under his spirit power suppression. It meant that the person's strength was no lower than his own.
Looking at this mysterious person, the old man's expression became serious.
Silently, spirit rings also appeared under the feet of the person in the black robe. Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black.
Another seven-ring Spirit Saint!
After recognizing the person's spirit rings, the old man relaxed slightly. Both he and the other person were Spirit Saints. Although the person had one more 10,000 year spirit ring than him, the old man was confident that no Spirit Master of the same level could stop him from leaving.
The person in the black robe revealed their strength, and a gloomy voice came from under the black hat.
"Nightmare Descends!"
Upon hearing these words, the old man's pupils contracted.
Nightmare, wasn't that his codename? So, this person was not an enemy, but a client who had come to seek his services.
Now, the old man felt more at ease. With a satisfied smirk, he asked, "Hehehe, since you know about Nightmare Descends, what do you need me to do?"
The black-robed person laughed softly and a black gold card appeared in their hand, which they shot towards the old man.
Seeing the card flying towards him, the old man caught it steadily. He carefully rubbed the patterns on the card with his rough palm, examining the small card. A smile appeared on his lips.
"This is the down payment, 1 million gold spirit coins! After the job is done, you'll receive the other half."
The old man chuckled. He liked clients who were straightforward. He put the black gold card, with a down payment of one million gold spirit coins, into his pocket. His gaze shifted to the black-robed person, and he asked with a faint smile, "Dear client, who do you want me to kill?"
The black-robed person handed a scroll to the old man and threw it towards him.
The old man caught it and carefully untied the straps, slowly unrolling the scroll. When he saw the portrait painted on it, his pupils contracted, and he was shocked.
"Are you sure you want me to kill this person?" The old man quickly put the scroll away, looked up at the black-robed person, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
The black-robed person nodded.
The old man exclaimed in anger, "Don't you know the identity of this person? He is a core disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
At this remark, mocking laughter came from under the black robe, "Hahaha~ You, being the Nightmare, caring about such things? That's not like you, Shu Nian."
Hearing the provocation in the laughter, Shu Nian remained unaffected and calmly said, "You've misunderstood me. This individual has a very special identity and a powerful background. If he dies, the consequences would be something you are well aware of."
Upon hearing this, the black-robed person clenched their fists under the robe. Whenever he thought about their humiliation, he became incredibly angry. He wished he could tear this person into pieces, burn them to ashes, and eliminate the hatred in his heart.
"With your methods as the Nightmare, you can easily erase any trace at the scene. Or, are you afraid this time?" The black-robed person sneered.
Shu Nian chuckled, "Well, since you know his identity is so special..."
"...I need more money!"
...
Next day.
Today's Heaven Dou City's Great Spirit Arena was as crowded as usual. As the competition venue for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, despite having tens of thousands of seats, not a single seat would be empty whenever there was a match.
However, the audience seemed more excited and passionate than usual. The atmosphere in the entire arena was extremely lively. While waiting for the teams to enter the arena, the spectators couldn't contain their excitement and started discussing the matches among themselves.
On the dias, the important dignitaries were waiting for the matches to begin.
"In today's match, the opponent of the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team is not facing a team like the Team Morphin. They will face the formidable Team Blazing Academy, which is also a strong contender for the qualifying spots. If Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team only sends one person to compete, the outcome is self-evident." Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall had a faint smile on his face as he looked at the unoccupied spirit arena.
In this match, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy's Second Team was up against the powerful Blazing Academy. With several Spirit Ancestors on their team, the Blazing Academy configuration was strong. In Salas's eyes, anyone who dared to compete alone would be an extremely arrogant fool.
However, Salas was also happy to see this situation. This kind of person needed to be tempered and their arrogance suppressed.
On the other hand, the Xue Ye wore a relaxed expression on his face. With Zeng Yi joining their team, he had great confidence in their own team. He didn't believe that Zeng Yi was the only one competing on their behalf.
After all, they had hastily brought Zeng Yi up yesterday due to an emergency situation. But thankfully, Zeng Yi won the match. Moreover, Zeng Yi's displayed tremendous strength had amazed everyone.
Both the Xue Ye and the three members of the Heavenly Academy's Board of Education behind him felt at ease. Zeng Yi was like a calming pill for them. No matter what happened or who they faced, as long as Zeng Yi was on the field, they were the most relaxed. They were more confident in his stability than when their first team competed.
"The first match of today's tournament, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy against Blazing Academy!"
As the referee announced, the two doorways of the circular spirit arena opened almost simultaneously.
From the right entrance, a wave of scorching flames rushed out as soon as the door opened. Instantly, the passionate wave seemed to ignite the audience's emotions. Cheers and shouts filled the venue, like the roaring waves of a storm.
When the flames dissipated, seven figures appeared before the eyes of the crowd. They were the members of the Blazing Academy team.
On the other side, the sound of soft footsteps echoed at the entrance. A lone figure slowly walked into the arena. The person's whole body was exposed to the audience's gaze.
"Oh dear, what a magnificent and enthusiastic entrance."
Looking at the turbulent flames and the appearance of the seven members of the Blazing Academy team, Zeng Yi smiled gently. The hair tie on his back lightly fluttered in the intense heat, a look of ease and confidence on his face.
