Chapter 203: Chapter 203. Attention-seeking Bluff? Yan Long’s words reminded Gao Sou about Amon throwing the Sky Delight Wine that splashed onto Gao Dou’s face. "That’s right! It must be that wine!" Gao Sou exclaimed. "Some of it must have entered Gao Dou’s mouth when he threw the wine to my brother." "Heh. Absurd," Amon replied. "You are ridiculous. Can’t you even lose like a man? Must you whine like a sissy?" Tuang Yin ridiculed. "Shut up, you hag!" Yan Long scolded. "How dare you call me that, you little pipsqueak! Can’t you see how young and beautiful I am?!" The two were about to go into a fisticuff when a gentle wave pushed both sides back. "The match has ended. Do not make me give you all a penalty for causing a ruckus," Li Niang warned. "Principal! You must see to justice for us! They have clearly cheated," Gao Sou said. "Have them hand that wine to us. I’m sure the wine is drugged!" The Sky Delight Wine was on the small table next to the chair Amon sat at. Amon never stored the bottle in his space ring, so it was the same wine he brought when he entered this arena. Li Niang huffed. She wanted to leave this place as soon as the match ended. Why did this have to happen? She extended her arm in the bottle direction. A gust of wind carried the bottle on the table and brought it to her hand. She studied the bottle. As the top person of the Royal Academy, she was not a stranger to the Sky Delight Wine. She could tell a genuine bottle of the famous wine from a fake one. This one was authentic. She opened the lid and smelled the wine. Nothing was wrong. She looked between Amon and Gao Sou. She sighed and sipped the wine. She was still for a few seconds before she returned the bottle to Amon. "The wine is fine. It is a real Sky Delight Wine. No drug inside," Li Niang said. "Prin... Principal. Surely something is wrong," Gao Sou said. "It is probably a very subtle drug. We need to give the wine to a pill master to make sure." Li Niang gave Gao Sou a hard stare and said, "I am a pill master. If I say the wine is not drugged, it is not drugged. Do you doubt my appraisal?" "I... I don’t dare...," Gao Sou uttered. He was unwilling, but he didn’t dare oppose the principal. "Hmph! What a fool!" Amon ridiculed. "Wuming and I have been drinking that wine repeatedly. If it is drugged, shouldn’t we also be affected?" Gao Sou scowled at the insult. "Now that everything is settled, everyone can leave!" Li Niang exclaimed. "Hold!" Everyone was startled by the shout, including the spectators who were about to rise from their seats to leave. They all turned to the one who shouted. "What do you want, Lin Mo? I’ve already cleared your name," Li Niang said. Annoyance was clear in her tone. She just wanted to leave. "I never doubted that because I don’t commit foul play, but I cannot just let the one who accused me of it go like that!" Amon exclaimed. "Bastard! It’s me who should be angry about this situation," Gao Sou cursed. "Since we both have a problem with it. Let’s settle it here!" Amon pointed at Gao Sou. "I challenge you to a match! Right here, right now! Do you dare to accept?!" The entire place turned silent. Everyone was having trouble believing what they had just heard. The silence was broken by Gao Sou’s laughter. "Hahaha! What a clown! Do you even know who I am? I am a junior student. I am a cultivator with the level of Beginning Transformation stage. Do you even realize what you are asking?" "Do you dare to accept?" Amon repeated his question. There was no change in his expression. Gao Sou no longer laughed. He stared at Amon in disbelief. Was this freshman student serious? He was not the only one thinking that. All the people who were there had the same thought. Even Amon’s faction members. Even Li Niang. * "Hehe, interesting," An Wong said. He was among the spectators. This junior leader of the Bloodless faction was among those who attended this match. "Perhaps our coming here is not wasted, after all," said a woman in a lavish suit sitting nearby. "I’m still surprised senior Zong Hua graces this match," An Wong said. "For the senior leader of the Astute faction to show up is an honor to the participants." "I doubt those participants are aware of this honor," An Ling said. "Haha. I don’t care about honor. For us, merchants, we go where there might be profits," Zong Hua laughed. "Sister Zong thinks there are profits in this match?" An Wong asked. Zong Hua shrugged for the answer, so An Wong asked a different question, "Does Sister Zong think Lin Mo is serious?" "He sounds serious," Zong Hua replied. "He is just bluffing," Lin Fei said. Although Amon was from his clan, he couldn’t accept this freshman student to draw the attention of two prominent faction leaders. "He is just saying it to gain prestige. He knows there is no way the principal will agree to the match. What a joke! A strength stage cultivator against a transformation stage cultivator? He is just trying to look brave and cool." "Hm... He doesn’t strike me as that type of person," An Wong said. "You are giving him too much credit, brother," An Ling said. "I agree with Lin Fei. I’m sure he will back off after the principal tells him to." * In the arena, Li Niang did suggest what An Ling said she would. "Lin Mo, enough with this attention-seeking. I don’t have time for this. This match has ended. Everyone should leave immediately." "If you are busy, you can appoint other staff as the referee," Amon said. "We can also move to a smaller arena if you prefer, but I will have my fight today. I will defend my honor! Unless he apologizes to me. I’m not letting this go!" Li Niang couldn’t believe what she heard, as did the others. Everyone had the same thoughts as An Ling, that Amon would step back after Li Niang persuaded him to. They didn’t expect Amon to continue to push for the fight. "So be it, asshole," Gao Sou said. "You want a fight? I will give you one. I will teach you the chasm between the strength and transformation stage, you ignorant fool!"
