C20 Sniper Appearance

Shi Soong turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking towards him enthusiastically.

This person was dressed decently, and his upper and lower body were extremely clean. He was in stark contrast to the vulgar men of the fighting club just now.

"Brother, you sure are skilled!" The middle-aged man stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Not at all." Shi Soong replied politely.

"A young hero indeed, haha!" When he finished, he turned around and saw that there was no one around. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "Brother, with your skills, it's all thanks to your martial arts that you are able to live in such a lowly place!"

After he finished speaking, the man shook his head and smacked his palm. He had a look of regret on his face. However, he was secretly staring at Shi Soong with the corner of his eye, paying attention to Shi Soong's reaction.

Seeing this, Shi Soong wanted to laugh: the man's exaggerated smooth expression is really interesting.

On the surface, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh?"

Seeing Shi Soong's interest, the man was also happy. He immediately said, "Come, let's talk over here!"

A gesture of extending his hand, that was indeed very well done.

Shi Soong didn't say anything more and walked to a remote corner with the man.

As Shi Soong expected, this man was a scout of a large fighting arena. When he saw Shi Soong's performance, he felt that it was indeed good and invited Shi Soong to participate in the official competition.

"There are real experts over there. Why are they acting like this?!" After saying that, the man couldn't help but look around to confirm that there was no one around.

"Furthermore, the competition bonuses there are way higher than here!" The man's exaggerated expression tempted Shi Soong.

Actually, there was no need for Shi Soong to lure him around. Shi Soong had been hanging around this warehouse these days just to attract these scouts to enter the official fighting arena and enter the fighting ring.

A few days ago, when the sect had sent a message, Eleventh had already told Shi Soong a lot of information.

According to the report of Mu Touwu on the Hee Mansion murder case, as well as the comprehensive confirmation from other sources, the Hee Mansion tragedy was committed by a group of four bandits which had committed many heinous crimes throughout the year and committed many major crimes. They had been arrested for many years, but had disappeared once in the past few years.

Unexpectedly, this group of bandits had reappeared in the martial world, and they had caused such a bloody tragedy.

The 11 Elders Guild combined all kinds of information and analysis, this bandit groups seemed to be serving a bigger organization, and this organization was also recruiting people from all over the place.

In order to recruit a lot of manpower, on one hand, it was to recruit the famous bandits and the heroic bandits of the martial arts world, and on the other hand, it was to go to a high level fighting arena to recruit outstanding rookies.

According to the information of the Elders Guild, the shadows of this organization seemed to be moving in the large fighting arenas of the various regions.

Therefore, the group of elders asked Shi Soong to secretly investigate from the direction of the ring to see if he could find any clues.

In the end, the order given by the clan elders of the Language Spirit Bird was: "You are just a novice in the martial arts world, your experience is lacking, your safety is your top priority, your capabilities must be measured, you must not put yourself in danger, barely able to accomplish it!"

The group of elders only wanted Shi Soong to investigate from the angle of the ring, but Shi Soong wanted to go straight in and enter the tiger's den by himself.

Do not risk your life, but which is and which is not? Shi Soong was inexperienced, and it was precisely because of the disappearance of his martial uncle, the tragic circumstances of his Hee Mansion, and his repeated failures that he didn't understand what was going on.

However, Shi Soong had thought it through. Letting Mu Touwu help him hide his identity could be considered a form of protection for him.

Now that the scout of the fighting club had finally appeared, Shi Soong did not hesitate and immediately expressed his interest. He was willing to give it a try, so he agreed to go to the city on the Jadestone Avenue tomorrow at noon to try out the Smiling Face Hall.

After the agreement had been reached, the two parties attacked each other and parted ways. The spy left with a face full of spring wind.

Shi Soong also turned around and returned to the temporary inn.

After walking a few steps, he passed the door of the combat gym again. Shi Soong saw a boy sitting by the wall in front of him with his arms wrapped around his knees. He leaned against the wall and buried his head between his knees.

Taking a closer look, it was the stubborn boy that Shi Soong had knocked down in the fighting arena.

The boy had clearly recovered long ago. There was no longer any problems. It was unknown whether it was because he lost the match or because of some other reason, but he just sat there crying.

Shi Soong couldn't help but walk over and wanted to chat with the little boy.

"Hey, kid!" Shi Soong squatted down beside the little boy.

The boy raised his head and glanced at Shi Soong. His red eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help it for a while. The boy wiped his eyes with his arm, then buried his head and sobbed again, ignoring Shi Soong.

"I wonder why his family decided to let him come to this place." Shi Soong said in his heart. Seeing how sad the boy was crying, Shi Soong felt that he really hurt him just now, so he tried to persuade him.

Shi Soong slowly talked to the boy for a while. After learning some information from the boy's intermittent crying, he realized that the boy's crying was not as simple as just the loss and pain of the match.

This child's nickname was Shitou. He was originally living in Yeyang City by the Wu River with his parents and sister.

Shitou and his family, just like the others, quickly escaped from their flooded homes, bumping and bumping along the way. However, their parents died in the hands of the bandits, while he and his sister luckily survived because their parents used their own bodies to protect them.

Afterwards, with the help of the other adults who had escaped with their lives, they buried their parents and followed the escaping army in pain as they continued their journey south. Along the way, they relied on the charity of the kind, dug up vegetables and picked wild fruits for themselves.

But just a few days after arriving at Yanhui City, because of her fatigue, excessive sadness, and food loss, her sister finally couldn't resist anymore. She fell ill with a continuous high fever, and today, she even burned herself to the point of speaking nonsense, always calling him "mother, father" and other similar things.

Shitou wanted to treat his sister's illness, but he couldn't earn any money. Seeing that his sister's illness was getting worse, Shitou steeled his heart and came to the fighting gym. He wanted to risk his life to win the next match to treat his sister's illness.

He grinded for several days, but the fat guy didn't let him compete. Today, Shitou was extremely worried when he saw that his sister's face was completely red and her mouth was full of blisters. He could only use the grass juice that the adults taught him to feed to his sister and use cold water to cool it down.

After his sister finally fell asleep, Shitou came back to the sparring building. He hoped that the fatty would let him participate in a competition, but he still couldn't.

Shitou could not help but feel despair in his heart. While he was at a loss, the fatty suddenly gave him a chance and told him that he could go up and compete!

Shitou immediately became excited, as if he finally found a lifesaver before drowning to death. He secretly made up his mind that he must seize this opportunity, even if he had to risk his life, he must win the match, earn money, and treat his sister's illness.

Shi Soong did not have to know about the process of the competition later on.

Shitou had never eaten his fill and his body was extremely thin and weak. However, he had used all of his strength to obtain victory in this match.

He was pushed down and got up again. His head felt dizzy from being thrown, so he tried his best to stand up. This was because as long as he could stand up straight, his sister would have hope!

Shitou, who had been starving for a long time and was tired all over, fell down a few times and his eyes were filled with tears. The Spiritual Sense became blurry, but because of a conviction, he crawled up again and again.

The difference in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth. No matter how hard he fought, it would be useless.

Shitou didn't even get a chance to touch his opponent's shirt before he was hit by a finger and his whole body became numb. He laid on the ground, but he was still unwilling to give up, still struggling with all his might and kicking his legs, trying to stand up. No matter how hard he tried, he could only make his body twist uncontrollably.

He knew that a sliver of his sister's chance of survival was right in front of him, but he tried his best, but he was still unable to stand up. In the end, he was like a trapped beast trapped in a desperate situation, helplessly watching his sister's sliver of hope slip away from his eyes.

When he woke up again, he was already placed by the wall. Thinking about the best chance to treat his sister, but he didn't hold on to it, Shitou blamed himself in his heart, yet he didn't know how to face his sister.
