Chapter 1001 Truce
After leaving the arena, Xu Chuniang didn’t rush back, but approached the steward in the front hall to apply for a truce.
According to the rules set by the arena, fighters were entitled to a one-month truce for every level they advanced to.
In these three months, Xu Chuniang had risen from the lowest level of D lower fighter to C upper level, leaping five levels in a row and enjoying a five-month truce.
After the steward heard that Xu Chuniang was going to take a five-month truce, his face changed.
She was currently at the height of her fame, and a truce of such a long duration would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the arena.
The steward tentatively said, ”Immortal Xu this truce period, isn’t it a bit too long? Why don’t we start with a one-month truce, there are still four months of truce left, and you can take a truce whenever you want in the future.”
“I can understand the concerns of the arena, but I also ask the steward to sympathize with my difficulties, I am now a superior C level fighter, and other fighters at the same level are mostly at the cultivation level of the Human Immortal After Realm, which is a full two realms higher than me, and the battle situation after that will be very unfavorable for me.”
Xu Chuniang paused and continued, “I’m sure that the Steward knows that I’ve earned some Immortal Crystals in this bout of time, so I wanted to take advantage of the truce period of these months to head to the Immortal Ascension Platform to train hard in order to raise my cultivation a bit.
I’m sure the Steward doesn’t want to see that I’m losing one after another with all the others of the same level because of the large gap in cultivation.”
“This ……”
Hearing Xu Chuniang’s words, the Steward immediately hesitated a bit.
He knew very well that a large part of the reason why the other party had such high popularity, and every match was packed, was because, since Xu Chuniang had entered the arena, she hadn’t tasted a single defeat.
Once she had a defeat and the myth of being undefeated was shattered, she might not be able to maintain her current reputation.
It was just that a five-month hiatus was indeed a bit too long, and he wasn’t sure if Xu Chuniang would be able to have such high popularity again when she returned after a five-month hiatus.
After pondering for a moment, the steward deliberated, “Fairy Xu has comprehended the power of at least eighteen Laws, and is even more proficient in the art of Speech Spirit, so even if there’s a difference of two small realms between her and a fighter of the same level, she should still have the power to fight.”
Xu Chuniang let out a sigh and shook her head, “Steward, the laws that I have comprehended are quite a few, but most of them are some very ordinary laws, nothing special.
If my opponents had the intention, they could have prepared Immortal Treasures or Immortal Weapons in response to the Laws that I have comprehended, as was the case in the battles that I experienced before.”
Recalling Xu Chuniang’s previous battles, the Steward fell silent.
Laws were not invincible, on the contrary, each law did not exist independently and would be restrained or constrained by other laws.
Xu Chuniang’s worries were indeed not unreasonable.
“But a five-month truce is just too long, in fact, since the founding of the arena, no one has ever had a truce of such a long duration in one breath, I’m afraid that if the time gap is too long, they’ll forget about you.”
Xu Chuniang asked instead of answering, “Before me, has there ever been a fighter who has been promoted from D lower to C upper without a single defeat?”
The steward froze, and after a moment of serious contemplation, he shook his head with certainty, “There really hasn’t been, you’re the first.”
Every few years or decades varying, one or two combat geniuses would appear in the fighting arena, and some of them would shine even brighter than Xu Chuniang in the ring, often resolving their opponents cleanly in just three or two moves.
But when examined in detail, none of these people’s battle records had even managed to surpass her.
Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, ”Since I am the first, why can’t an exception be made for me? The older the ginger, the spicier it gets, the older the wine, the more flavorful it is, and the longer you wait, the more it tugs at the heart instead.
Moreover, five months is just a snap of the fingers for Immortals whose lifespan is as long as one kalpa, they can afford to wait.” After repeatedly chewing on Xu Chuniang’s words, the steward’s eyes lit up.
“It seems to be true that the more you can’t get, the more one is attached to it instead, why didn’t I think of that?
Things are more expensive than they are rare, when you return from your truce, you might be able to trigger a new round of coaxing!”
Xu Chuniang raised an eyebrow, “So, the steward agreed to my application?”
“Agreed, of course I agreed, haha!”
The Steward took the truce letter in Xu Chuniang’s hands, and with a broad stroke of his pen, he signed his big name on it, slapping the truce letter on the table with great bravado.
“Go, since you’ve decided to go to the Immortal Ascension Platform to train, take advantage of the truce period to improve your cultivation, if you can take this opportunity to break through to the Human Immortal Middle Realm, it would be the best!”
The steward had already calculated that when Xu Chuniang returned from her truce, she would apply to the fighting arena to change her to a higher level fighting arena to accommodate more spectators!
Xu Chuniang satisfactorily took the truce letter and put it away after checking that it was correct, “Then I’ll take the steward’s good advice, I’ll take my leave now, see you in five months.”
After leaving the fighting arena, Xu Chunniang didn’t rush to the Immortal Ascension Stage, but first went to the Commissioning Hall.
After accumulating over the past few months, she had already accumulated two hundred and fifty-six thousand Immortal Crystals in her hands, which was more than enough to issue a commission for prying information, in addition to what she needed for placing bets and cultivating in the future.
A few months had passed, and the Commission Hall was still as crowded with commission hunters as before.
Xu Chuniang swept through the hall and quickly found a mandarin.
She walked over towards the official and before she had the chance to speak, she saw the official raise his head impatiently and point with the pen in his hand to the long line in front of him.
“Want to become a commissioned hunter? You have to line up one by one!”
Xu Chuniang ignored the official’s attitude and explained, “I’m here to issue a commission.”
Hearing that she was here to issue a commission, the official’s attitude directly reversed.
The impatience on her face quickly disappeared, transforming into a gentle yet gracious smile.
“So Fairy is here to post commissions, the commissions posted here in our place can be seen by commission hunters from the entire Zongdang Heaven, and if Fairy is willing to increase her fee, even the commission hunters from the Everquiet Heaven and the Third Heavens, can see it.
Of course, if the remuneration given by the fairy is not enough, the commission hunters of the Higher Zongdian Heaven, generally do not bother to take such commissions.”
Xu Chuniang nodded in understanding and inquired curiously, “How many immortal crystals are generally required if one wishes to have a commission hunter from a higher Heavens take on a commission?”
“It depends on the specific content of the commission issued by the fairy, if they happen to have what the fairy needs in their hands, and the commission’s reward is high enough, they might just take it in passing.
I don’t know what type of commission the fairy wants to release?”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, “Searching for someone, if you can help me find someone, the reward is …… one hundred thousand immortal crystals.”
One hundred thousand Immortal Crystals was already the limit of what she could use at the moment.
When she earned Immortal Crystals in the future, she would come back for additional remuneration. (End of chapter)
