night.
Back at the hotel, Xiao Xuan first took stock of what he had gained over the past period.
Five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coin.
Looking at the pile of Gold Soul Coin in front of him, even though he was mentally prepared, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
No wonder so many people love coming to the Soul Fighting Arena.
That money really came quickly.
Of course, this is something that can only be done once.
The previous nine-game winning streak, coupled with the sudden surrender in the last game, had already caused quite a stir.
Especially after the last match, the entire Soul Fighting Arena practically exploded.
Many of those who lost money started cursing on the spot, and some even directly accused the match of being fixed.
Xiao Xuan naturally couldn't be bothered to pay any attention.
After receiving the money, he went straight back to his hotel and barely showed his face for the next few days, waiting for the auction to begin.
As for what kind of chaos occurred at the Soul Fighting Arena, that was no longer his concern.
Time flies.
Ten days have passed.
The incident of Black Bamboo suddenly conceding defeat after a nine-game winning streak had caused quite a stir in the entire Suotuo City.
However, as soon as the auction house announced that a Soul Bone was about to be auctioned, the city's attention was quickly drawn to it.
Soul Bone!
For Soul Master, the words themselves are incredibly appealing.
For a time, almost all the prominent Soul Master in Suotuo City focused their attention on this auction.
In contrast, the so-called "fixed match" in the Soul Fighting Arena was quickly forgotten.
Xiao Xuan finally got what he wanted.
On the day of the auction, he spent over 300,000 Gold Soul Coin to successfully acquire that Soul Bone.
Outside the auction house.
Two figures were hidden in the shadows on one side of the street.
Flender crossed his arms and stared intently at the auction house exit.
Soon, a figure walked out from inside.
The man was dressed in an inconspicuous manner and did not linger after leaving the auction house, heading straight down the street towards the outskirts of the city.
Upon seeing that figure, Flender's eyes narrowed instantly.
" The Xiao San."
He lowered his voice.
Are you sure it's him?
Tang San, who was standing next to him, nodded.
"Sure."
His gaze was also firmly fixed on that figure.
"Although the clothes and mask have been changed, the figure, walking habits, and some details on the body are exactly the same as Black Bamboo's."
Tang San paused for a moment at this point.
His gaze turned colder.
With his Purple Demon Eye, he could observe far more than ordinary people.
Moreover, in the past ten days, he had replayed that match in his mind countless times.
He would never mistake Black Bamboo's figure.
And the most crucial thing is--
Just now.
This person spent over 300,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy that Soul Bone!
More than three hundred thousand.
How could a normal Soul Master casually come up with such a large sum of money?
Considering the Soul Fighting ten days ago, the answer is almost obvious.
This person is Black Bamboo!
Thinking of this, Tang San subconsciously clenched his fists.
He still remembers everything that happened ten days ago clearly.
That was all his savings!
The money he had saved up little by little was all bet on Black Bamboo.
And the result?
They had won nine games in a row.
But then, on the tenth game they placed their bets on, this guy suddenly lost!
Moreover, he voluntarily admitted defeat without even revealing his Soul Ring!
Just thinking about that scene made Tang San feel a surge of anger.
If Black Bamboo had truly been outmatched and defeated fair and square, he might not have been so upset.
But that particular match just just didn't seem right.
Now, seeing the other party casually pull out over 300,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy a Soul Bone...
Tang San's doubts almost completely turned into certainty.
That Soul Fighting.
There's definitely something wrong!
Flender, standing beside him, had an even more frighteningly grim expression.
Tang San lost his savings.
But what he lost was far more than that.
That day, he not only bet all the savings he had accumulated over the years, but also his living expenses for the next few years at the Shrek Academy on Black Bamboo.
A match.
Just one game!
It's all gone!
For the past ten days, whenever he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of Xiao Xuan standing on the stage, raising his hand, and saying "I concede."
Every time he thought about it, Flender felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Especially now.
This guy who almost bankrupted him actually brought hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coin to bid for Soul Bone!
Flender was grinding his teeth to powder.
"OK..."
No wonder you lost so decisively that day.
So all the money ended up in his pocket!
Tang San did not respond.
I only glanced at the figure that was already almost gone.
"Dean, he's leaving the city."
Flender immediately composed himself.
"Keep up."
The two did not get too close.
It simply trailed far behind, following Xiao Xuan all the way out of Suotuo City.
Only when there were fewer and fewer people around and the city gate had completely disappeared from sight did Flender finally quicken his pace.
Ahead.
Xiao Xuan continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.
Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from behind.
After a few leaps, it landed directly in the middle of the road.
Blocking the way.
Xiao Xuan paused in his steps.
Raise your head.
Flender stood in front, his hands behind his back, his face no longer bearing the usual shrewd businessman's smile.
A pair of eyes were fixed on him.
Black Bamboo.
"These ten days..."
"I've been looking for you for ages."
Xiao Xuan stopped and glanced at Flender, who was blocking his way.
Black Bamboo?
He raised an eyebrow slightly.
Flender stared at him and gave a cold laugh.
"At this point, are you still going to keep up the act?"
As he spoke, he glanced behind him.
Tang San also emerged from the woods.
One in front of the other.
This blocked Xiao Xuan's path.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan showed little surprise, simply saying:
I don't know what you're talking about.
"Yeah?"
Flender squinted.
Ten days ago, at the Soto Great Soul Arena, he won nine consecutive matches, but in the final match, he voluntarily conceded defeat without even using any Soul Skill.
Black Bamboo.
Am I right?
Xiao Xuan did not answer.
Flender continued:
"Physical appearance can be faked, and clothes can be changed, but a person's habits are not so easy to change."
"Not to mention--"
He glanced at Tang San beside him.
" The Xiao San was watching you all the way from the auction house."
Tang San stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Your physique, walking habits, and even some subtle movements are completely identical to Black Bamboo's in the Soul Fighting Arena."
"And just now, you spent over 300,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy that Soul Bone."
Tang San's eyes turned completely cold as he finished speaking.
"If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who earned that money from the Soul Fighting Arena ten days ago, weren't you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan finally smiled.
Since things have come to this point, there's really no point in pretending anymore.
