Chapter 26 - As Long as He's Alive, He Can Be Saved!

Chapter 26 As Long as He’s Alive, He Can Be Saved!

In the hands of the youth, a few crumpled notes appeared in everyone’s sight.

Then, the boy’s voice sounded, “Boss, a ticket please!”

Everyone turned their heads and was taken aback. The boy whose clothes were drenched in sweat and who was holding a few crumpled notes in his hand was Li An.

“Li An? What are you doing here? It’s so dangerous here. Didn’t I tell you to wait in school?” Mr. Yang asked in surprise.

The other ten or so teachers around them all revealed shocked expressions.

The road from the school to the arena wasn’t far. It would only take about ten minutes to get here by car.

However, it would take at least half an hour to forty minutes if one came on foot.

Could it be that this student, who was drenched in sweat, had rushed here and ran for 40 minutes?

Was he afraid that he didn’t have enough money and did not even dare to take a ride?

What was he doing all this for?

“Mr. Yang, Su Chen is my classmate. I want to see him safe with my own eyes. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easy!” Li An’s expression was firm. He turned his head to look at the muscular man who was half a head taller than him and said, “Boss, I’d like to buy a ticket!”

The principal pulled Li An’s hand back and said, “What is a student like you doing in the arena? Go back to school! We will naturally rescue Su Chen!”

Li An’s expression didn’t change at all. After pulling away the principal’s hand, he handed the notes back to the other party.

On the side, the few people who had been in conflict with Mr. Yang once again opened their mouths to ridicule.

“Oh, to think a student has so much money. Did you steal it from somewhere?”

“With so much money, isn’t it good to spend it on studies? To think he would instead choose to come and watch the duels! He has mixed up priorities between entertainment and learning!”

“Otherwise, why would they say that the lower beam will be crooked if the upper beam is crooked? I wonder what’s so good about that useless Su Chen that so many people are fawning over him!”

Li An didn’t turn his head to look at anyone. He looked straight at the muscular man, wanting to use the money in his hand to buy a ticket.

The teachers behind him were still trying their best to dissuade him, but the muscular man simply chuckled and took the money from Li An’s hands, “Here are your tickets, come in.”

With that, the three who had bought standing tickets finally entered the arena.

When they stepped into the arena, the other teachers who were waiting outside because they were unwilling to spend the sum took out their mobile phones and opened the group chat of Binhai First High’s teachers.

In the ten minutes that they had not looked at the group chat, the number of messages had already exceeded 999+. The people in the group were almost all discussing the same thing, which was the gimmick of the arena, as well as things related to Su Chen.

“Have you heard about the matter in the arena? I heard that they made false publications. Su Chen is only a D-grade Awakened, and he’s not a top student in Binhai First High either!”

“That’s right. The arena is just taking hold of a gimmick. To think they are even exploiting a high school student! And that 125 blood-qi points, I think it’s fake too!”

“Yeah, how can a high school student have more than 100 blood-qi points? If he did have such an ability, would he still be a D-grade martial artist?”

Countless chats spammed the group, and the ten or so teachers at the entrance of the arena also joined in the conversation out of boredom.

“Geez, it’s all fake publicity! One ticket cost 1380 Yuan! It was very expensive! But guess what, in the end, the principal and Mr. Yang still bought the tickets!” “If there really is a genius with 125 blood-qi points in our school, do you think he would be able to run around so freely? It’s all fake publicity!”

“Sigh, Ms. Nan, you’re lucky that you didn’t follow us. We’re just unlucky. Mr. Yang couldn’t take care of his student well and even implicated him. We were almost beaten

up!”

“It’s true that when the teacher is useless, the student will also be useless! Never mind if he’s useless, but to think he still has to cause trouble. He’s just harming people!”

In the arena, as soon as they stepped into the entrance, the three felt an extremely strong heat wave. It was not because of the hot weather, but due to the enthusiastic shouts of the audience.

The deafening sound came from all directions, and the three were almost dumbfounded.

They endured all kinds of discomfort and tried their best to walk to the place where the “standing tickets” were.

As far as the eye could see, the round arena’s spectator seats were packed with thousands of people.

The faces of the countless audience members were filled with all kinds of emotions. Some were laughing, some were shocked, some were gasping, and some were cursing.

Many stood up and shouted, waving their fists and cheering excitedly, or cursing. Some sat in their seats, looking at the ring excitedly and nervously. They were nervous because the human in the ring was being chased by the fierce beast.

Some in groups of three to five started quarreling because the people next to them were speaking too loudly. Taking advantage of the exciting atmosphere, they also released the violent desire in their hearts.

On the stage, a human and a fierce beast were fighting each other.

In the audience, some were pushing each other. Then, one of them was knocked unconscious and carried away by the officials. Immediately after, they began to sell that person’s seat.

The destination of Li An and the other two was the highest platform without any seats. It provided the widest view, but it was also the place furthest from the ring itself.

Even so, under the operation of the arena’s owner and the influence of the gimmick, many were still willing to spend three times the price to buy standing tickets and watch the duel in such a terrible environment.

As the match began, they no longer had so many concerns. All their eyes were fixed on the stage. Li An and the other two also nervously looked toward the stage. In the next moment, they let out a breath of relief, and even had a trace of surprise and joy on their faces!

“Su Chen! Su Chen is not dead! He, he, he… To think he dodged the attack just now!”

They had thought that even if Su Chen was not dead, he would at least be exhausted, or even missing an arm or a leg.

But in reality, when they saw Su Chen in the ring, they realized that not only was he not on the ground in despair, but he could even dodge the weeping corpse bird’s attacks again and again!

It was just that the arena was filled with scarlet blood that was like red paint, turning the arena into a huge canvas.

The drawings, however, were extremely disgusting scarlet scribbles that emitted a foul stench.

The extremely shocking scene greatly stimulated the nerves of the audience.

It released all the depression that they had accumulated during work and the shadow of death that they had been living in while humans struggled at death’s door.

Therefore, every time the audience saw blood splattering everywhere, they would feel a great sense of satisfaction.

It allowed them to disregard everything and do anything that would make them feel comfortable without the slightest bit of rationality.

Unfortunately, Li An wasn’t here to release himself. Hence, the shouts around him were noisy and uncomfortable to him.

Fortunately, there was still some good news. Su Chen was not dead.

The arena was filled with blood, which also caused Su Chen’s body to be covered in blood. It was difficult to tell whether the blood was because he was injured or from the weeping corpse bird.

Either way, as long as he could confirm that Su Chen was not dead, the stone hanging in Li An’s heart could be put down.

As long as Su Chen was still alive, they could stop the duel under the negotiation of the principal and Mr. Yang!

Then, they could save Su Chen and send him to the hospital for treatment!
