Ling Tian's
Tournament 10
Two more days have passed in the real world. While in the prison of illusion the soul has stepped on the 29th day. This is the last day of the second round.
The visitors were still very enthusiastic watching and did not move a bit from his seat. With a very stressful dish, they really do not want to miss even if only for a second. They were all very curious about who would qualify for the final.
If they feel like eating something or drinking tea, they just buy it from people who sell around. As is currently done by some visitors.
"Yuk who is hungry, who is thirsty, who is upset, who is bored, who cannot move on from his losing champion participants. Let's go get some beans.. The beans.. Glassy! Teas.. Tea sir, buk! Gentlemen, ladies! The rice pack is also there! Let's choose.. Be chosen! Please buy!" bargain with one of the traveling merchants who carried two fairly large backpacks.
"Woy.. Please have the same tea!" said a visitor who was wearing a pretty fancy dress with a little scream.
The traveling merchant immediately looked towards the source of the sound. He found a middle-aged man waving at him. The traveling merchant immediately approached enthusiastically as there was another one who would give him an advantage.
"How valuable?" asked the middle-aged man dressed in luxury. His face looks really bad at the moment. It seemed like what the peddler said was somewhat about his wounded heart that it could not move on from his defeated hero.
"How much do you want to buy, sir?" ask the merchant kindly.
"What's the price for the beans and tea?" not answering him, the luxurious-clothed middle-aged man asked back.
"For the nuts only one silver coin per pack sir! While the tea is two silver coins! My tea is directly taken from the twin mountains that are guaranteed to be of quality!" the merchant replied calmly.
The eyes of the plush-clothed middle-aged man glared upon hearing the price offered by the merchant. He did not expect that snacks like beans and a cup of tea would be this expensive. Damnit damnit! This is blackmail under the guise of trading!
"Are you crazy, huh? Just beans and tea that expensive? Do you want to blackmail me?" asked the plush-clothed middle-aged man with a snarl.
While the merchant who found himself being yelled at was just a big smile and a little trace of a grin.
"Master! This place was now a prestigious place in the entire Cloud City! This tournament is also different and much more perfect than before. So the prices offered by us traders are also slightly raised!" answer the merchant calmly.
The commotion that occurred between the peddler and the middle-aged man in luxurious clothes finally attracted many other visitors. A lot of people were whispering and looking at the man in luxurious clothes with a sneering look.
Just taking out three silver coins alone should speak in a loud tone and snarl? And again it is certainly quite disturbing other visitors who are focusing on the participants they fight even though the participants are females, not males.
"That man is so shameless!" said one of the people who witnessed the debate of the middle-aged man and the traveling merchant.
"Truly say! Only three silver coins! Like it was in question? What an incomparable stinginess! He, if he dies, his grave will be narrow!" tell the person next to him.
"Eh.. Is that how stingy people die?" he raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know for sure! But I've heard those words from the ancients!"
"Ohh.. So anyway?"
"Yes! And again, what the merchant said had a point! This is a special grand tournament, so naturally the merchants seem to raise the price!"
"I agree with that!"
While the middle-aged man who heard that all could only grit his teeth firmly. He is so embarrassed at the moment. Forcibly, he reached into his pocket and took out three silver coins to buy a pack of beans and a cup of warm tea. Actually he wanted to drive away the merchant in front of him, but if he did such a thing then his embarrassment to everyone who saw him would be even greater.
"Good! Give me a packet of beans and a cup of tea!" said the plush-clothed middle-aged man with a hint of coldness and tossed three silver coins.
The traveling merchant immediately caught his windfall and kept it. He also quickly brewed tea for his good customers.
"It's sir! Please and enjoy!" said the traveling merchant while smiling warmly.
"Just go there!" throw away the luxurious dressed middle-aged man.
"Okay sir! Thank you!" answer the trader with a happy tone.

From above the sky, Ling Tian who witnessed the incident only shook his head. He came back a little reminded of life on earth that was almost similar to that traveling merchant.
Ling Tian quickly dismissed the thought and looked towards the three holographic screens above the circle of the illusionary soul prison.
"Now the second round will be over!" he said slowly.
***
Prison illusion soul.
Within the soul illusionary prison, the current remaining participants were only twenty-six people. Among them there were those killed by beast monsters or demon animals, some were scuttle by other participants.
The two matchlighters aka Hong Lie and Xuan Ji still continued to hunt tirelessly. Neither of them wanted to give up at all. Their self-esteem is at stake in the points it collects later. Called adek? Damnit damnit! It was a god-level inner abuse!
"Hong Lie! Never mind.. You rest first! I feel sorry for you! That's.. Your face looks so tired!" xuan Ji said like someone giving attention.
"Haha.. Why don't you just sit there sweet. And also I see that you are no longer strong! I'm afraid you'll get gout before your waist wears! Ahaha.." Hong Lie thought of it carelessly and laughed out loud.
"Damn it! Don't call me adek! This competition is not over! I will definitely call you that name!" yelled Xuan Ji and cursed at Hong Lie.
"Haha.. Then let's prove who the winner is!" answer Hong Lie.
The two of them darted back into the forest that they had not yet climbed. Unknowingly because of the competition they made themselves, they became like brothers who were very close despite being scorned and maki with each other.
It was also proven that when one of the two almost killed by a monster beast or demon animal, then one of the others quickly helped him to defeat the enemy. What an unexpected friendship.
