A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 178 Arena Competition

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Do you think I can advise her?"

"Yes," Bai Yu replied without hesitation.

"How to say?"

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Bufan, I know you also like my eldest sister. Would you like to hear my advice?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, hurry up and speak."

Bai Yu chuckled, then said seriously, "Brother Bufan, my eldest sister is the kind of woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You can..."

The little brat spoke in a low voice, and Chao Bufan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded.

The next morning, all 887 people, including those from the entire Sun Village and all the islands, gathered in front of the Jing Shou Hall. They were all whispering among themselves, extremely excited.

Suddenly, a white figure flashed in the main hall; it was Chao Bufan who had darted in from outside. A dozen pairs of eyes immediately fell upon him. The Grand Elder stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, the seal..."

Chao Bufan raised his hand to stop him, gave him a wink, and the Grand Elder immediately understood and stopped talking. Then, Chao Bufan turned around casually and said, "Is everyone here? Good, good, Village Chief, you go first!"

The village chief nodded, then stepped forward and addressed the crowd below, saying loudly, "Everyone, our Sun Village was sealed here by the ancient gods, and has become a place abandoned by the gods. But fortunately, the gods are dead, but we are still alive. Today, the destined person we have been waiting for for millions of years has finally arrived."

The crowd erupted in uproar, some overjoyed, some skeptical, and some even indifferent.

Suddenly, a burly man mustered his courage and asked loudly, "Village chief, you're not referring to the kid behind you, are you?"

The village chief nodded and smiled, "That's right, it is him. Let me introduce him to you all. He is the destined person in the prophecy—Chao Bufan."

The burly man sneered and said, "Village chief, you're not trying to fool us, are you? Look at him, he doesn't look like what was said in the prophecy at all. With his clothes, sleeveless and trousers without legs, he must be a madman."

"Hahahaha!"

Many people in the crowd burst into laughter and mocked him.

The village chief raised his hand and pressed down, saying loudly, "Everyone, Young Master Chao is indeed the destined person of our Sun Village. He will lead us into a brand new world."

The burly man laughed and said, "Village chief, if he is the destined person of our Sun Village, then I am even more so."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Seeing that many people were joining in the commotion, the burly man grew even bolder and laughed, "Village chief, if he really is the destined person of our Sun Village, then let him prove it to us. If he really is, we will obey the village chief in everything. If he isn't, then let him go back to where he came from and stop making a fool of himself here."

“Yes, let him prove it to us.” Many people immediately echoed this sentiment.

The village chief frowned slightly and shouted sternly, "Baihui, don't you dare to be so presumptuous!"

The burly man Bai Hui was not afraid at all. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Village chief, it's not that I'm being presumptuous. We just want him to prove himself. After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."

“Yes, village chief, we just want him to prove himself.”

Bai Hui is one of the most outstanding young people in Sun Village. His cultivation has reached a level of perfection. Although he cannot compare to Fairy Lily, his fame is no less. Therefore, many of the younger generation in the village have become his followers, calling him Brother Hui. Even many of the older generation respect and admire him. Because of this, he has developed an arrogant and haughty personality, never taking anyone seriously.

He had long harbored a secret crush on Fairy Lily, and if nothing unexpected happened, he was a hundred times more confident than to win the arena title tomorrow. He had already considered Fairy Lily his irreplaceable possession. But to his utter surprise, this poorly dressed young man suddenly appeared in the village. The village chief and the elders ridiculously agreed that he was the destined one for Sun Village, even claiming that he would break the "Wrath of the Gods" today. You see, for millions of years, not only had no one in Sun Village been able to break this seal, but every thousand years, the demonic energy released from the Heart-Piercing Cave had caused Sun Village heavy losses—truly pathetic and laughable!

The village chief was furious, but he couldn't lash out in front of so many people. He smiled and was about to speak when Chao Bufan stepped forward, stood at the edge of the platform, snorted, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Without using a lighter, he simply extended his index finger, and a white flame suddenly shot up from the tip of his finger. He lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled the smoke, which swirled and slowly dissipated.

Everyone stared at him in astonishment. Someone whispered, "What's that thing in his mouth? How can he puff out smoke with just a few sucks?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a magic trick!"

"Do you think the smoke he exhaled might be poison gas?"

"Poison gas? No way? If it were poison gas, he would have been dead already."

……

The two fairy sisters, Lily and Hundred Spirits, were also surprised and puzzled when they saw Chao Bufan exhaling smoke.

Smoking was a completely new and unfamiliar thing for everyone in Sun Village.

Chao Bufan, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands in his pockets, glanced at Bai Hui with a nonchalant air. With each inhale and exhale, his face was full of disdain. He sneered and said, "Tell me! How do you want me to prove it?"

Bai Hui walked out of the crowd to the front of the stage, crossed his arms, sneered, and said, "It's very simple. If you can beat me, then we'll acknowledge that you are our destined one. If you can't beat me, then don't embarrass yourself here. Go back to where you came from."

Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression changed drastically, and he quickly and sternly rebuked, "Baihui, stop this nonsense..."

Chao Bufan quickly stopped the village chief, nodded, and smiled, "What if I don't want to compete?"

Bai Hui smiled and said, "That's not up to you..." Then he leaped onto the platform, first bowing to the village chief and all the elders, and then facing the crowd below, he said loudly, "Everyone, today I want you all to be my witnesses. I will now issue a challenge to him. Do you... dare to accept my challenge?"

His voice was full of disdain and domineering, as if it were a command.

Upon hearing the words "challenge letter," everyone on the stage paled, while the audience erupted in commotion, with someone shouting, "Good, good, challenge! Challenge! Challenge!"
