Chapter 142: 142 She determines the outcome! Shocking the entire audience【2 more updates】

The voice was neither loud nor low, yet its penetrating power was so strong that it overpowered the young man’s raucous laughter and spread throughout the entire underground arena.

"..."

The air instantly fell silent, and the young man’s voice also stopped abruptly.

At this moment, all eyes in the venue focused on the back row of the spectators’ seats.

It was actually a girl!

She was tall and slender, dressed in a pure black outfit that blended perfectly with the darkness, making it impossible to see her features clearly.

"Wait, Miss Ye!" Xiang Yuefeng lowered his voice, "The fighters hired by the Du Family for this arena competition, I see, are all recorded fighters from the Global Center, definitely not comparable to those mercenaries before."

Anyone listed in the Global Center was internationally notorious.

Even elite-trained mercenaries were far inferior; these fighters truly mastered the art of killing.

If it wasn’t for the Sai Family competitor dodging quickly before, there would already be several corpses on the stage.

This time the Du Family had spent a lot of money, obviously intending to completely crush the Sai Family.

Ye Wanlan ignored this and continued down the steps towards the arena.

Yan Tingfeng gave him a faint look, "Noisy."

Xiang Yuefeng: "..."

He closed his mouth and sat up straight, watching the situation unfold with intense nervousness.

The arena fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an uproar.

"Where did this little girl come from? Get down from there!"

"Has the Sai Family run out of people to send such a young girl up here? Hahahaha..."

"This girl probably wants to show off at this moment, to make a big impression, right? Didn’t she see everyone else running far away?"

The mockery and ridicule were incessant.

All eyes in the venue were on Ye Wanlan, but their scornful words did not hinder her steps.

She kept moving forward, unstoppable!

Sai Xiuya suddenly turned his head, "Grandpa, is she your hidden card?"

Old Master Sai had been unconscious for so long, yet the Sai Family hadn’t fallen, due to their strong foundation that couldn’t easily be shaken.

"Not me." Old Master Sai was also a bit stunned, "I thought she was a helper you found at the last minute."

Sai Xiuya shook his head and couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "During the time you were unconscious, I had no interest in anything else; I was even ready to give up on the competition..."

"That is really strange, could it be—" Old Master Sai seemed to have realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and he almost jumped up.

But with many eyes watching him, he restrained the tumultuous waves in his heart and whispered, "Could it be Miss Ye?"

Sai Xiuya was also greatly surprised.

He and Old Master Sai exchanged a glance, both seeing the four words in each other’s eyes—

Impossible, right?

Even if Sai Xiuya didn’t know how Ye Wanlan had revived Old Master Sai, she was a doctor after all.

A doctor’s hands are too precious; even slight nerve damage could prevent clinical surgery.

How could she possibly engage in a fight?

But looking again, the girl’s silhouette did indeed resemble Ye Wanlan.

She wore a mask, so Sai Xiuya couldn’t see the features hidden behind it.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Wanlan slowly stepped onto the arena.

"I need to confirm with the Sai Family—" The host was the first to react, "Is this participant someone sent by the Sai Family to compete?"

"Yes," Old Master Sai had regained his composure, "Is there an issue?"

"I just wanted to make sure for the Sai Family," the host shook his head and smiled, "Otherwise, if someone gets seriously injured later in the fight, they can’t blame our arena."

Old Master Sai’s expression was icy.

The host was a fence-sitter, shifting his allegiances with the wind.

After all, with the current state of the Sai Family, being on the brink and possibly deposed from the Five Major Families, what need was there for respect?

"If that’s the case, then let’s continue with this arena match." The host raised his hand, "The same rules apply: whoever falls first and can’t get up, or leaves the ring, will be declared the loser."

"Silly girl, you better get down quickly," the young man’s muscles bulged and his eyes were fierce, "This is a bloodshed place, not for you to play house—"

"Whoosh!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Wanlan moved.

In the blink of an eye, the young man felt a breeze pass by and suddenly there was a figure in front of him.

"In battle, the last thing you want is to talk too much," Ye Wanlan’s hand was already at the young man’s throat, her voice extremely faint, "The time it takes you to say one more word, your opponent might have already taken your life."

The young man was both shocked and angry, "You’re courting death!"

He tried to get up, to regain control of the fight.

However, with Ye Wanlan’s combat experience, how could she possibly give him that chance?

She turned her palm into a blade and flipped her wrist, chopping it onto the young man’s back.

"Thump!"

The force of the blow was tremendous, and the young man felt as if his entire spine had shattered, a wave of pain crashing down on him, and uncontrollably, his legs buckled and he "thudded" to his knees.

Ye Wanlan didn’t hold back; she tipped on her toes, leveraging the force to lift her leg and kicked the young man squarely in the chest.

"Puh—!"

The young man spat a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with its string cut, amid gasps of shock, and crashed heavily to the ground.

The young man’s hand twitched, trying to rise, but overwhelming pain crushed down on him!

His vision darkened, and he passed out.

Patriarch Du, who had been assured of victory until now, finally lost his smile, his gaze growing gradually darker.

Since when did the Sai Family employ such a powerful assistant?

Is there such a young girl internationally with such formidable skills?

Patriarch Du’s brain started to spin rapidly, but he couldn’t match Ye Wanlan with any named individual.

The fight hadn’t even lasted a minute, and there had never been a match so quick in the history of the underground arena.

The host stood dumbfounded, his calves shaking.

And Ye Wanlan’s garment hadn’t even fluttered, "Next."

"Next, next!" The host snapped out of it, "Please, the Du Family, send out the fifth contestant."

The fifth contestant was also muscular, standing tall at two meters, with a robust physique.

Patriarch Du’s expression was grim as he advised, "No need to hold back, it’s best if you can kill the opponent."

The brute nodded, cracking his knuckles with a "crackling" sound.

This made many spectators start to worry about Ye Wanlan.

Some even maliciously thought, can such a young girl withstand a palm strike from a brute?

"Du Family, Xiong Feng." The brute sized up Ye Wanlan with a deep voice, "Once crossed the Global Center’s Death Wandering Island alone three times, employed by—"

The attack came before his words finished.

Xiong Feng was startled and quickly dodged.

But Ye Wanlan’s attacks were fierce and fast, causing him to roll awkwardly on the ground several times before avoiding the rapid defeat of the previous young man.

Xiong Feng got up, eyes sharp as knives, "Do you only like to ambush?"

He said so, but his heart was already in turmoil!

Who exactly was this young girl?

Having lived in the Global Center for over a decade, it made no sense not to know someone with such skills!

"You’re very noisy." Ye Wanlan stepped forward again, "Unfortunately, provocation doesn’t work on me."

"Bang!"

The girl suddenly leaped up, causing another round of gasps.

Her fighting style was very straightforward, without unnecessary flourishes.

As such, it became very easy to defend against if one were prepared.

Xiong Feng sneered, ready to meet the attack.

But the next second, he realized something was wrong—

No, no, this is a feint!

The kick was a bluff, the real killer move was an elbow strike.

However, by the time Xiong Feng realized this, it was too late. He was struck squarely by Ye Wanlan.

"Crack!"

The sound of breaking ribs was very clear, and Xiong Feng couldn’t utter a word before rolling off the ring.

Struggling, he tried to stand, but ultimately couldn’t.

Another fight ended in a minute. Ye Wanlan landed lightly, smoothing out her slightly wrinkled sleeve.

"..."

Silence, only silence.

In the vast underground arena, not even a breath could be heard.

"Wow!" Xiang Lefeng jumped up excitedly, "Well fought, beautiful!"

He declared that from this moment, Ye Wanlan was his idol.

Of course, she still ranked a little below his forefathers in his heart.

Applause thundered, and cheers rose in waves.

"President Zhou, today’s arena match is truly spectacular. We happened upon a great time," the middle-aged man applauded as he spoke with a smile, "No one expected Old Master Sai to wake up and have this up his sleeve!"

"Hmm, indeed spectacular," Zhou Hechen nodded, "I wonder about the origins of this Miss..."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I have no idea about that. Such skills, probably from a major force of the Global Center..."

Zhou Hechen stared at the figure on the stage, an extremely unfamiliar sense of familiarity emerging within him.

However, the feeling was fleeting, too quick for him to grasp.

Subsequently, he chuckled to himself, thinking he was overthinking things.

If she was a named individual from the Global Center, how would it be possible for someone like him to interact with her?

He had only come today to discuss business with a previous partner and hadn’t expected to witness such a thrilling duel.

"The Sai Family won!" the host announced loudly, and somewhat excited, "Please, the Du Family, prepare to send out the sixth person. Miss, would you like to rest a moment before continuing?"

"No need, I don’t have that kind of leisure," Ye Wanlan rolled up her sleeves, speaking indifferently, "I’m in a hurry, it’s too slow."

"..."

At these words, the entire arena fell into silence once again.

Previously, Ye Wanlan defeated two opponents in rapid succession, driving all the spectators wild.

Strength and power.

These two words were the creed of every person in Wanta Country.

Whoever was strong, they admired, regardless of gender or age.

The attitude of the host changed immediately, utterly respectful, "What do you mean, my lady?"

Ye Wanlan’s tone remained emotionless, "Let the remaining people from the Du Family come at once."

The outcome wasn’t undecided but—

Decided by her.
