Chapter 181: Zi Chen's trap
In the Arena, Fatty Ben hurriedly turned around to see Larry, who greeted with a smile.
"You seem to be looking for something. What is it?" Larry asked with a questioning look.
"I'm looking for an opponent to fix a fight with my master." Fatty replied while walking towards the fighting ring.
"What?! Do you have a master?" Larry asked in a surprised tone.
"I mean, young master Kent, who helped me reach rank one as a gambler. I call him Master out of respect. He is a good person with extraordinary strength." Fatty replied with a proud smile.
After hearing Kent's name, Larry's brows knitted. Soon, his frown turned into a smile as Fatty looking for an opponent against Kent. 'Finally, it's time to set up a trap.' Larry thought with an evil grin.
"Ben, by any chance, is Kent a privilege fighter for you?" Larry asked, putting on a doubtful face. In reality, he already knew the answer to that question.
"Yes, young master Kent is my exclusive prime seed. He asked me to set up a match every day from now on, and he also specifically asked for strong fighters." Fatty replied, recalling Kent's message.
"Ohh… I never expected you to have a prime seed fighter. Anyway, if you don't mind, I can help you set up an opponent for your young master. I have several contacts." Larry suggested, eagerly waiting for Fatty's approval.
"That would be great." Fatty cried out happily, thinking that Larry is helping him for the sake of friendship.
A wide smile formed on Larry's face after hearing Fatty's approval. "Tell me the cultivation stage of your master." Larry asked, feeling excited to call Zi Chen and tell him this good news.
After thinking for a bit, Fatty replied, "The first stage of the Master Magus realm."
"That's good. Give me an hour, and I will bring a list of opponents from the Master Magus realm. You don't need to worry." Larry replied with a supporting pat on Fatty's shoulder.
Feeling relieved, Fatty nodded his head and waved his hand to Larry, who is leaving to collect the opponent's names.
"Hey, Larry, make sure that opponent is one stage higher than my master." Fatty cried out while staring at the leaving back of Larry.
Larry waved his hand in understanding and hurriedly left the arena. Shaking his head, Fatty went to the administration hall of the Arena to collect gambling slips for the upcoming fights.

After coming outside, Larry hurriedly took out his glass orb and sent a communication request to Zi Chen. Soon, Zi Chen answered from the other end with a grim face. Zi Chen's body is fully drenched with sweat because of training.
After seeing Zi Chen, Larry hurriedly explained everything to him in an excited state. An evil grin formed on Zi Chen's face as he finally found a way to fight Kent in the Arena.
"Larry, make sure that he wins every fight until the Grand Master Magus stage. After that, set up the fight between me and Kent without giving him much time to think. I don't think Kent would take a back step in front of the crowd." Zi Chen suggested in a serious tone. The image of Kent and his sister kissing is still playing before his eyes.
"Leave this matter to me, Chen. I won't disappoint you. Get ready to take your revenge in front of all the crowd. I will make sure that big crowd will be drawn to witness this match." Larry promised in a confident tone.
After exchanging a few more words, Zi Chen asked Larry to spend coins to popularise Kent's matches and draw people's attention. Finally, he disconnected the communication with a happy smile.
"It's time to set up Fatty." Larry muttered while taking out the list of fighters. He prepared the list when he tried to issue a challenge notice to Kent through the Arena administration hall.

Without knowing the trap Zi Chen is setting up, Kent is silently perceiving the fire elemental dao inside the Aura room. A seashell-shaped fire crystal is glowing in his hands as he circulates his aura with fire dao.
In the other room, Amelia is silently reading a book that was set up by Sophia with a levitating spell. The pages were turning automatically whenever Amelia finished reading.
As the fire crystal died down, Kent took out the volcanic fire crystal gifted by Zambu and began focusing on the control of his Fire Dao.
Time passed slowly, and Kent spent more than fifty fire crystals, which are worth a fortune. Kent's control over the fire dao improved greatly. But his Dao state didn't surpass the great success stage.
But after deep meditation, he understood one thing. Perfecting a fire dao is impossible as it has multiple forms. Based on the type of flame one yields, the stage of perfection varies.
For example, Kent has origin flames. It has a different dao perfection when compared to Nirvanic flames or ground burning flames of burning sun peak or healing green flames. Each type of fire has a different dao perfection.
After a deep thought, Kent decided to find out treasures that could help in perfecting the dao. Getting up from the meditation state, Kent cleaned his impurities and went inside Amelia's room to check her condition.
Sitting beside her, Kent began massaging her body while checking out her mortar control system, which could affect her motion. Last time, Sophia said, Amelia's motor system was also damaged, along with shattered aura channels. If he could treat her motor system first, Amelia could move on her own.
Just as Kent took out the healing manuals to read about the mortar system, Kent's sky orb glowed with vibrating noise. Kent accepted the communication after seeing Fatty Ben's face on the sky orb.
"Master, I found an opponent for you. 2nd stage of the Master Magus realm, from the autumn wind sect. If you are okay with it, I will schedule the match this evening." After explaining everything, Fatty waited for Kent's reply with an anticipated gaze.
"Do it…"
