Chapter 17: Great Spirit Arena (Final)

"It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d d-d-d-d-d-duel!!!" The commentator roared.

"Kid, I suggest you forfeit. Even if it is a life and death match, I can at least consider that. You should go suck your mom's ti-" Before Shikona could even complete his sentence, Nian Zhen who was in front of him had already disappeared.

"Call of Death…"

"Devil's Kiss…"

Not giving Shikona a chance to react, Nian Zhen had already cut off Shikona's left arm with his Scythe. Unable to know what was happening to him, Shikona was only able to feel that blood was flowing from his now decapitated Arm.

"Less talk, More Action." Nian Zhen said indifferently. 5 spirit rings had emerged from Nian Zhen's body. Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black. Seeing such a spectacle, the entire audience fell into silence. What they have always been told has been thoroughly smashed by Nian Zhen. It is impossible for someone to have their first spirit ring as a 1000 y/o in the current era.

"This...this!?" Shikona was unable to utter any other words. His opponent was clearly a living legend.

"I shall apologize to you beforehand. For my plan, killing you is necessary. Otherwise no one will give a damn about my Organization." Nian Zhen said without a hint of apology on his tone.

Disappearing again, Nian Zhen had already arrived behind Shikona, his Scythe now inches away from slashing Shikona's neck.

"Karma Blade.."

"Have a nice life…" Nian Zhen said as he sliced Shikonas neck, decapitating Shikon's head from his body.

Silence spread around the arena. No one could utter a single word.

"I..Uhh….I announce that the winner is the Northern Warrior." The commentator said with a frightened tone. Yet his voice was unable to reach the audience.

Not covered in a single drop of blood, Nian Zhen recalled his Scythe and walked towards the Waiting room.

[Host, is it really necessary to do this?}

Back at the waiting room, Enron asked Nian Zhen.

"Yes. Even if this is a stupid idea, I still wanted the mainland to know that a new power is rising. Currently no one knows the existence of 'Chi Yue'. If I want to make my organization become popular in a short time, revealing part of my strength is necessary." Nian Zhen thought.

[But what if the major sects and Spirit hall try to get or harm you and destroy the organization?]

"Only after a month will the major sects be informed after my existence. For now, they will just think of this incident as a rumour. As for destruction of the organization, the attackers must know who is in Chi Yue and where it is located. Using Rose Hotel as a cover was considered due to this." Nian Zhen said calmly.

All of the things had long been taken into consideration by Nian Zhen. Before heading towards Slaughter City, Nian Zhen wanted Chi Yue to have a slight foothold on the mainland.

[Host Manager Ao has arrived.]

*Knock* *knock*

"Sir, it's me Manager Ao." Manager Ao's voice was heard from behind the door.

"Come in." Nian Zhen said after wearing his mask.

"Umm..Mister Northern Warrior. That...that match was excellent." Manager Ao said. He wanted to get on the good side of Nian Zhen yet he had completely forgotten how to flatter someone.

"I don't know why Manager Ao has come to see me?" Nian Zhen asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"This...I was gonna ask if Sir has any intention to compete again today?" Manager Ao said.

"Send as many warriors as you can. I will fight them in a life and death match." Nian Zhen said.

"This...I am afraid it is only possible to have 2-3 deathmatch a day. Not anyone is willing to die." Manager Ao said. If he let's Nian Zhen do as he pleases then all of the strong fighters he has will die.

"....Then arrange normal Duels as well as Life and Death Matches for me." Nian Zhen said.

"...Yes" Manager Ao said before heading off somewhere.

[Host. How long are you planning to do this for?]

"I will continue for a couple of day's. After that let my clones handle it." Nian Zhen thought.

[Host intends to go berserk during this time?]

"Probably. Maybe due to the influence of my Martial Soul, my blood boils in anticipation and excitement whenever I battle. I can't control my emotions at all." Nian Zhen said with a big grin on his hidden face.

[.....]

The day ended very fast for Nian Zhen but for the audience it was one hell of a ride. The Northern Warrior won each and every match. Everyone had thought that Nian Zhen was a bloodthirsty maniac after seeing him kill everyone brutally during the Life and Death match. But after seeing Nian Zhen battle others in a Normal Match they were deeply impressed.

The normal matches, instead of one on one, was actually a one vs group match. At that time, Nian Zhen held back his killing intent as much as possible and only fought with pure raw strength combined with spirit power.

Nian Zhen used to attack in a wild and frenzied manner during Group matches. Yet every attack was able to hit his opponents. His fighting technique deeply impressed both his opponent and the audience.

Due to his manner of frenzied attack caused due to his excitement, Nian Zhen had gained the title of Berserker.

At the end of the day, rather than being called The Northern Warrior, Nian Zhen was now referred as The Northern Berserker.

Days went by, a week had passed by since Nian Zhen arrived at Suotuo City. After 5 days of continuous battling at the Great Spirit Arena, Nian Zhen had now given that job to his 19th Clone, Shi Jiu.

"Lord Information regarding the Sun and Moon continent has been acquired." Si Lao said.

"Hmm." Nian Zhen nodded while taking the report.

"What about 'Chi Yue'? Any reports?" Nian Zhen said.

"Yes Lord. Due to the Lord's match in Spirit arena many sects and even some kingdoms have started to notice Chi Yue. Due to the clones activities too we are getting popular. After some time, the great sects may also notice us." Si Lao said.

"Good. Keep it up." Nian Zhen said while heading towards his room.

[Host if this information regarding the Sun and Moon continent is true. It means that the continent has already started experiments on producing artificial Spirit Rings and spirit weapons.]

"Hmm. This information may prove useful for both spirit beasts and humans. But this isn't the information I was expecting. Not that it matters. Let them keep on finding new things." Nian Zhen said laying down on his bed.
