The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 889: Nine Dragons Arena

Chapter 889: Chapter 889: Nine Dragons Arena

The elixir was taken, and the injuries on their bodies began to heal at a visible rate.

This was a strict command from Ning Fan that they must exert all their efforts during the fight, without holding back.

As Ning Fan put it, life-and-death battles are not like friendly sparring; the enemy will not give you a chance to recover when you’re critically injured.

It is only at the brink of death that one can realize the great terror of life-threatening danger and find the opportunity to break through.

Shuang’er and Huo Erba’s strength had both been boosted to their limits; now they were evenly matched with a Peak Great Master.

But the odds of defeating the opponent were not great.

"Both of you have your own flaws. Shuang’er, your speed is fast enough, but you lack strength. Huo Erba, your strength and physical defense are comparable to a Peak Great Master, but you lack agility and speed."

"If you encounter an enemy in the future, these weaknesses will be easily detected. Once they strategize against you, even if you have great abilities, you won’t be able to escape."

Ning Fan was about to enter Kunlun, and soon only Shuang’er and Huo Erba, his most trusted warriors, would be left outside.

Therefore, Ning Fan wanted to do his utmost to enhance their strength before he left.

At least, they should have the ability to escape from the hands of Transcendent Realm masters.

"Master, you’re about to fight Long Yun soon. Training us now, won’t it affect you?" Shuang’er asked with concern, moving her healed right arm.

Huo Erba also showed concern, worried about Ning Fan’s upcoming battle.

Seeing their worried expressions, Ning Fan smiled and shook his head: "Don’t worry, Long Yun will not be my opponent."

"I see... then let’s continue training!"

Seeing Ning Fan’s confidence, Shuang’er didn’t ask further and continued to spar with Huo Erba.

She trusted Ning Fan completely; whatever he said, she never doubted.

Huo Erba felt the same.

He had once taken the Flower Servant Elixir, which should have made him a mindless puppet.

Thanks to Ning Fan’s help, his strength continued to increase, and he now had the chance to revert to being human.

...

Soon, the third day arrived.

Ning Fan looked at Shuang’er and Huo Erba and spoke solemnly: "Your strength has reached a critical point. Currently, even a Peak Great Master would not be able to easily defeat you. If a Transcendent Realm master makes a move, you also have the capability to protect yourselves."

His expectations for them were not high; surviving was good enough.

Material assets and treasured relics are just external possessions after all.

Only by preserving your lives, can you be doing what is most essential.

Ning Fan had many enemies outside; with Shuang’er and Huo Erba’s strength advanced to this stage, most of his enemies should no longer be a match for them.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shuang’er bowed with a fist in her hand, her eyes filled with gratitude, yet she didn’t speak much of loyalty.

But with just a word from Ning Fan, even if it was something dangerous, Shuang’er would not hesitate.

"Thank...thank..."

Huo Erba also clenched his fists, his expression resolute.

His thinking had nearly returned to normal, though he still was not very articulate.

Huo Erba was very grateful to Ning Fan; without him, he would still be a senseless Flower Servant.

"It’s fine, as long as your strength has increased, I can be at peace."

Ning Fan, with hands behind his back, turned his head towards the north, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Now, it’s time for me to prepare for my battle with Long Yun."

...

As the morning sun rose, the entirety of Capital City became bustling.

Streams of people moved like shuttlecocks, vehicles traversed.

From above, one could clearly see that nearly half of the population was heading towards the north of Capital City.

And their ultimate destination was all the same place.

Nine Dragons Arena!

In the spacious square, an arena made of green jade slabs stood at the center.

Around it, nine dark green dragon pillars stood, made of what seemed to be pure iron.

On each pillar, a dragon bas-relief coiled around, vividly detailed, seemingly ready to slither down at any moment.

Various groups had already gathered around the square, awaiting the commencement of the grand battle!

Directly facing the Nine Dragons Arena, where the view was best, had already been occupied by the seven great families.

The seven Family Heads sat in order, looking toward the arena not far away.

"This Nine Dragons Arena has a long history," said the Patriarch of the Bao Family, who sat at the forefront, showing off his knowledge. "It is said that long ago, nine evil dragons troubled Capital City, making the lives of the citizens miserable."

"Finally, a master could not stand by and suppressed these nine evil dragons, using the nine dragon pillars to trap them underground in Capital City, and this Nine Dragons Arena is the hub of it all!"

The Yao Family Head scoffed, "Hmph, today’s fate of Ning Fan will be just like those legendary evil dragons, suppressed right here!"

The Patriarch of the Bao Family burst into laughter: "That Ning Fan counts as nothing but an insect in front of our seven great families! Barely a worm!"

"We decide whether he lives or dies! Thinking he could oppose our seven great families, he simply doesn’t know what death is!"

The words of the Patriarch of the Bao Family, though arrogant, resonated with the feelings of the other Family Heads.

"Exactly, Capital City is the turf of our seven great families, no outsider has the right to make trouble here!"

"Ning Fan wants to cause trouble here, but we won’t allow it!"

"That young man is arrogant and reckless, killing people indiscriminately, utterly inhumane! We are the upholders of justice!"

"Exactly! To execute a frenzied villain, to protect the peace of Capital City, is our undeniable duty!"

The seven Family Heads spoke righteously, their words filled with moral integrity, as if they truly were the guardians of the righteous path.
