Chapter 642 Blackfire Town, Insect Fighting Arena
Seeing Jin Lingfeng's longing expression, Ye Kang had no doubt that if he refused, this guy would definitely cause him trouble.
Helpless, he could only sigh and say, "Sir, I will obey your orders."
"Hahaha! Don't worry, as long as I can fight insects, I'll take care of your problem. But like I said, you absolutely can't let Li Ben know, or we'll all be in big trouble."
"clear."
"Then let's not delay any longer, let's set off immediately!"
"Now?"
Ye Kang was dumbfounded. How could this spoiled young master still be so proactive?
Shi Motong immediately advised, "Captain, if you leave Windbreak Valley rashly, Instructor Li will definitely notice something is wrong."
Jin Lingfeng waved his hand: "Don't worry, I left a note before I left saying that I was craving something good and was going to get some food. Anyway, I didn't say when I would be back, so it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Shi Motong didn't say much, and could only look at Ye Kang: "Commander Ye, I can manage your subordinates, it's up to you..."
What else could Ye Kang say?
An opportunity to curry favor with your boss is presented to you; to refuse it would be ungrateful.
He could only nod and say, "Then let's set off now, but I'm not familiar with the way, so I'll have to ask you, sir."
Jin Lingfeng said proudly, "I often go to Blackfire Town to find food, I know the place like the back of my hand."
"..."
Ye Kang no longer knew how to describe this guy; being ignorant and incompetent was the perfect description of him.
The two parted ways with Shi Motong, each donning a black robe to disguise themselves.
Jin Lingfeng instantly transformed into an ordinary martial artist of the first palace, and even Ye Kang, using the Boundless Azure Eyes, could not discern his true cultivation level.
As expected of someone from a prestigious family, they certainly wouldn't lack such hidden martial arts techniques.
He couldn't help but ask, "Sir, I'm curious, may I ask?"
"Ask whatever you want. Once we're out of Windbreak Valley, don't call me 'sir' anymore, we're all buddies." Jin Lingfeng was very easygoing and had no airs at all.
Ye Kang tentatively asked, "What family do you come from...? Don't misunderstand, I'm just curious and have no intention of asking."
"It doesn't matter. Everyone knows that I am the seventh son of Marquis Zhaoyi, Jin Buhuan, and I live in Wuyang City, Zhaoyi Wushuang Mansion."
Good guy!
It turns out he's the Marquis's son. Ye Kang is completely dumbfounded; he's run into a real playboy.
Besides the royal family, the most powerful nobles in the Wu Dynasty were the four kings of different surnames and the thirty-two marquises.
Although there are many marquises, the Wu Dynasty is even more powerful. In Wuyang City, Marquis Zhaoyi is almost second only to the emperor.
Such power filled Ye Kang with dread.
At the same time, one has to admire the Marquis of Zhaoyi's audacity; he dared to send his youngest son to the frontier without fear of him getting into trouble.
But thinking about it carefully, there's really no need to worry. There are probably very few people who would dare to attack the Crown Prince.
With such a powerful figure by his side, Ye Kang felt much more confident.
At dawn, the two finally flew out of the desert edge and arrived at a large border town.
There are obviously more green trees here, and the moisture is abundant, but the sky is always dark, as if there are invisible dark clouds that keep covering this place.
It is precisely because of this unique environment that the flames that rise here are all deep and dark, hence the name Blackfire Town.
After observing for a while, Ye Kang found that the area was populated by many people, whose clothing was not significantly different, and who were all martial artists.
Even the vegetable vendors on the street have the cultivation level of the Divine Sea Realm.
Clearly, this is the true situation in Kyushu. Pure mortals are almost non-existent, and even ordinary people have some level of cultivation to rely on.
Jin Lingfeng seemed very familiar with this place, and secretly transmitted his voice, "Come with me, I know a good place."
Ye Kang silently followed. The "good place" this guy was talking about was probably not a respectable place.
Sure enough, after walking through several streets, the two arrived at a street that was noticeably more bustling.
Shops were everywhere, and groups of martial artists, in twos and threes, drank and ate meat, joking and laughing.
Martial artists flocked to gambling dens and brothels in particular.
But Jin Lingfeng had no interest in these ordinary forms of entertainment.
He led Ye Kang straight to the center of the street, to a huge black stadium.
Unlike the surrounding buildings, this place occupies almost a quarter of the street, is made entirely of black stone, and is engraved with layers of arrays, making it extremely sturdy.
Moreover, the entrance is guarded by incredibly powerful guards, and it also has the most customers, with countless people gathered outside, watching the teleportation array on the wall.
And right in front of this building hangs a prominent sign.
"Blackfire Insect Fighting Arena".
Ye Kang was stunned.
This is just too outrageous!
He thought insect fighting was just a pastime for spoiled nobles, never expecting it to be so popular!
It wasn't just royalty and nobles; ordinary warriors and commoners were clearly enjoying themselves as well.
Moreover, almost everyone participated, enjoying themselves so much that they forgot about home. Even those who couldn't afford tickets were willing to crowd around outside to watch the teleportation array.
The image transmission array is a formation that transmits images over short distances; of course, the experience is not as good as watching live.
Seeing this scene, Ye Kang couldn't help but think of football in his previous life.
The scene of everyone flocking to the streets was exactly the same.
Jin Lingfeng could no longer contain his excitement and immediately took out a jade token, showing it to the guard.
Seeing this, the guard gestured for them to enter.
Ye Kang's eyes darted around; this guy seemed to have come quite often.
You can get in without a ticket; you must be at least a premium member.
As the two passed through the passage, shouts erupted ahead, and powerful auras clashed back and forth.
The entire venue is circular, with the arena in the center and spectator stands all around, capable of accommodating at least a thousand people.
Most of the seats were already full. Jin Lingfeng skillfully went to the members' area, found an empty seat, and then transmitted his voice: "See? This is the charm of insect fighting. The Martial Dynasty values martial arts, but it's too oppressive. How can we live without some entertainment?"
Ye Kang nodded and said, "Indeed impressive. To be able to open a fighting arena here, one must have a powerful background."
"It's alright. It seems to be run by the prefect's son. It's just so-so. But there's nothing we can do about it. In this place, it's already good enough to have a fighting arena."
Jin Lingfeng casually picked up his teacup and beckoned to the waiter beside him.
The waitress was a tall, attractive young woman with the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She politely asked, "What can I do for you, esteemed guest?"
"My buddy is going to participate in a competition, can you arrange one for me?"
"Please wait a moment, guests. Due to the large number of participants, we can only arrange for you to participate in the last ten-player free-for-all match."
“Fine.” Jin Lingfeng didn’t care at all; he was very confident in his sword and halberd.
"Please pay 1,000 mid-grade spirit crystals. If you win, you will receive a total of 7,000 spirit crystals."
Jin Lingfeng tossed out the spirit crystals without a second thought, then casually leaned back in his chair to watch the show.
Ye Kang was itching to see this.
This guy is really rich.
And this insect fighting arena, they take 30% of the spirit crystals in just one round trip, that's really greedy.
