I Am The Young Master

Chapter 48: Bane of campers

(A/N: I'm back, thank you for the patience. READ THE AUX CHAPTERS BEFORE CONTINUING!)

As soon as they walked into the portals, the portals closed behind them and you could see them in different places of the fighting ground.

You might be asking how can you see what they do? Well, there is some sort of artifact that works as a streaming tool, and with it, we are able to see all of the participants.

I wanted to call bullshit when they used this but I remembered that they can create sub-spaces so this is child's play to them…

Anyway, we could see the fight easily this way and for now, I don't care about anything else other than this.

Each participant had their own method for the fight. Some hid for the time being, some randomly explored. Lai Xinyue was one of the random explorers, at the same time you could see that she was looking for clues of another participant on her tracks.

On the other hand, Dai Bao was running to the east. At first, I thought that he is also one of the random explorers but soon I thought of something.

I looked at the two disciples who were talking with Dai Bao before they got here for the battle royale and I am pretty sure that they are his lackeys. They were also running to the east. Now I get what is happening here.

This fighting ground is dome-shaped so if they keep running in the same direction they could at least be sure that they are in the same half of the dome. After that, they would probably go toward the north or the south and meet there to team up.

This is a good plan from a brain dead like Dai Bao, I can't say I expected this. But oh well, this could be me reading too much into it.

Leaving Dai Bao and his plan aside, we had Jin Fen. He wasn't moving at all and just stood where he was, contemplating about something.

I was about to think of a reason for it but he suddenly used a martial art technique to attack… the sky?!

'What the hell?' I was shocked for a moment.

'…is he that stupid?' All of a sudden a thought flashed through my mind.

'Did he punch the sky, to attract others to his location?'

He really thinks highly of himself to challenge everyone on the field, Or he has another card up his sleeves.

I mean if he has anything more, I would be delighted to know about it but it would be bullshit if he somehow keeps pulling trump cards out of his ass.

'Nah, this is not some fiction, this is real, and even if he is a child of the plane he still has a long way to go to be the only one with all the power…' I nodded to myself.

Focusing on the fights I saw that Lai Xinyue was the first one to find someone— Well, the accurate term is to be found.

The other participant who found Lai Xinyue was hiding in waiting and was ready to jump anyone who shows up in this location.

To his bad luck, the one who comes his way was Lai Xinyue. If Lai Xinyue was on earth, she would be one of those that would never lose in dodge ball.

With an acrobatic move, she dodged the incoming sneak attack and at the same time unsheathed her sword. Without any sign of delay or hesitation, she attacked the one who was going to attack her.

With just that, the protective gear on her attacker's body activated and showed that he was out of the competition.

These protective gears are to ensure the disciples safety and also act as solid evidence of someone being in the game or not.

The protective gear is not some sort of groundbreaking technology, it is a gear that has a great amount (great amount for my level) of a high-level practitioner's Qi. Using that Qi, the device can easily evade our attacks so there is nothing complicated going on here.

Let's get back to Lai Xinyue, she is taking out the campers. This is one of the most fulfilling things that the humanity ever had.

As she is running around, she eventually meet some lone camper who decides to attack her from their ambush. Unfortunately for the attacker, she has her physique, [Fate Eluding Physique] that makes it near impossible for others on the same level as her to land an attack on her, much less anyone who is not even on her level.

Her attacks marked the first and the second elimination of the fight and the unconventional way of these fights make the crowd cheer in anticipation. On the fighting ground, Lai Xinyue continued on her crusade without any stops because she didn't know about her fans infatuation.

'Well, even if she knew about it, I don't think she would show any reactions.' I thought.

…

As the minutes passed some small fights happened, in these fights 8 more participants were eliminated that 2 of them were eliminated by Lai Xinyue, letting her reach the record of 4 elimination.

Jin Fen could only eliminate one participant who had answered his 'call' and went to his location to fight him. The fight was not something that was worth watching, you could say that it was pretty bland and Jin Fen didn't use any flashy movements or techniques and as the fight closed to its end, he emerged victorious.

On the other hand, Dai Bao and his two lackeys finally meet and they were looking for someone who I presume is Jin Fen. They also had eliminated one participant who, as luck would have it was on their way.

With 40 participants left, the fights continued. Although 10 participants were eliminated the stakes were still high so no one was reckless, except maybe Jin Fen.

Reading about someone who acted this way might have been fun but experiencing it, is really not something that is pleasant. I think being realistic is always the best option, even I don't think I can win a 1 vs. 49 on this level without any external help.

Just as I was thinking about the importance of being a realist, the cheers from the crowd brought me back to reality.

Apparently, Lai Xinyue was ambushed by someone who was being tailed by someone else and this resulted in a three-way fight.

The three disciples looked at each other with vigilance. The other two could see the anxiety in each other's eyes but all that they could see and feel from Lai Xinyue was calmness.

This lead them to think that she knows that she would win easily against them and no matter what they do they can't stop her. On the other hand, they had similar power level so they know if they wanted to have a chance of winning they had to work to gather to win Lai Xinyue and after that decide the winner amongst themselves.

With a nod to each other, they signaled the other that they would be teaming to win against Lai Xinyue.

But what they didn't know was that Lai Xinyue having a calm face didn't mean that she is relaxed and calm, it simply shows that she doesn't show many emotions…

'This is going to be fun.' I got excited about this fight.
