Xiao Qiang and Cai Cheng thought they had heard wrong at first and looked at each other with obvious confusion, which clearly showed that the other person had heard it too.

''Do as he says...'' Xiao Qiang said as he sighed, although he doubted that Li Ming would underestimate his opponent, a gold-ranked fighter was in a completely different league and much stronger than a silver-ranked demon spiritist without a doubt!

Meanwhile Li Ming had recovered enough physical and mental stamina to continue his training. He unceremoniously grabbed his sabers that had been stuck on the ground and after a moment's reflection decided to change the weapon, with which he would continue his fighting and decided on a large halberd as his new weapon.

Cai Cheng disappeared and about 10 minutes later, two different prison guards led a tall man full of muscles and scars into the battlefield. The man had a contemptuous smile on his face as he looked at the guards.

Li Ming remembered this man... He had been one of the leaders of one of the hunting teams in Glory City that had teams that sometimes went out to kill demonic beasts, this man had been one of them, and he also had a rather high rank...

''Young Master! This man had found a treasure and killed his team to keep it for himself! Another team found it while he was slaughtering his team and saved 3 people from him, a team of 25 men!" Cai Cheng shouted from the stands.

"Greed, all of us humans have it and we all have greed, even the holiest people have greed" Li Ming shook his head and smiled, it didn't matter anyway.

The man didn't even look at the guards when his handcuffs were removed and walked over to the weapons before grabbing a heavy sword...

"Another heavy sword user huh? This is going to be more fun than expected..." Li Ming thought when he saw the man walking toward him with the heavy sword on his shoulder.

Li Ming clutched his halberd tighter and tighter and launched himself at the man who merely stared at his oncoming figure before grinning like a fool and brandishing his own broadsword at him with a savage attack.

Li Ming saw his opponent's heavy sword coming and decided to assume a defensive stance by brandishing his halberd to try to block the blows or, alternatively, to try to deflect them since he was losing physical strength.

*Clang* *BOOM* *Clang*

The two exchanged blows at high speed unlike the battles before you could see that they were a completely different level than before which should not be underestimated.

Li Ming had adjusted the angle of his halberd to let the man's sword slide along the blade of his halberd thus deflecting the blow, instead of blocking it with full force, before counterattacking and giving the man a shallow wound on his right side.

''Do you only know how to run?" The man roared before brandishing his heavy sword several times at Li Ming, who immediately jumped out of the man's reach before laughing at the obvious teasing.

"That depends, do you have a daughter?" Li Ming sneered with obvious mockery in his tone and clearly saw the man's face turn into one of pure anger before returning to strike Li Ming with even more force than before.

On the stands, Xiao Qiang and Cai Cheng looked at the prisoner with a complicated face and he said, "He broke through, didn't he?"

"Yes, he is definitely a 2-star gold level fighter," Xiao Qiang said in a complicated tone when he saw that the man was having trouble with Li Ming who was almost all of a rank below him!

Although Li Ming was countering the man by redirecting his various blows, he could not block every single slash and could only avoid taking some fatal damage that would put him at a clear disadvantage.

"Where did your previous confidence go?" The man laughed wildly as he swung his broadsword at him with even more force like a berserk destroying everything in his path.

Li Ming merely looked at the man, the more he fought the calmer he became, the pain could be felt far away and did not bother him, instead the blood around him only made him.

The man used his sword and swung again at Li Ming, who ducked to the side and stabbed with his halberd. The man promptly cleared his swing and blocked Li Ming's halberd with his broadsword while a small advantage could be seen.

The man was stronger, faster, and definitely had more fighting experience than Li Ming, but this did not mean much in a fight to the death, it only gave a momentary advantage.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

The two continued to brandish their swords as metal-on-metal clashes resounded across the battlefield. Li Ming's body was receiving more and more cuts and blood began to stain his clothes red, but even so he did not seem to be getting weaker; on the contrary, he was showing a big smile full of vigor!

"Will those old farts still not save you? Do they hate you or something childish?'' The man laughed as he looked at Xiao Qiang and Cai Cheng with obvious unconcealed contempt.

"Who knows?" replied Li Ming simply with a crazed smile on his face and brandished his halberd at the man again.

''Look at you, you're having fun, aren't you?'' The man said as he brandished his sword at Li Ming who quickly redirected the attack before leaping toward the man

Li Ming kicked the man's feet and knocked him off balance before brandishing his halberd at him to try to finish the fight with the next move.

The man gritted his teeth as he fell off the curve of the world and came off the ground as he used his sword as a pillar and backed away. "You little brat! The man said through gritted teeth before launching herself at him again with no strategy in mind.

Li Ming could not help but feel the atmosphere, even though there were corpses around him with severed heads, lost limbs, full of sword cuts ..... Somehow he felt.... Good?

'Maybe I really am ... not normal,' Li Ming's smile widened and he brandished his halberd at the man again. But unlike before he could see several blood-red seals revolving around his figure that gave him a very dangerous feeling.

''You ignorant little shit! Don't tell me you still don't know that I am a gold-ranked fighter! '' The man laughed loudly before meeting Li Ming's halberd with his broadsword trying to turn the battle to his advantage.

*Metal Noise* *Metal Noise* *Metal Noise*

The two weapons remained locked as both tried to overpower the other. ''What's wrong old man! You weren't talking so much a minute ago,'' Li Ming said to the man with obvious teasing, trying to get him to make some mistakes to finish the battle.

"Come on kid! It's only a matter of time..." The man wanted to continue until he felt.... being rejected by a boy with a whole degree rank him! How are y-you , demonic spiritualist! You shitty little traitor...."

But before the man could finish his sentence, his arms succumbed to the combination of his physical power and the several blood seals that had gathered around his halberd to deliver the final attack, easily managing to slash the man's right shoulder at the level of the left side of his waist.

Before the man could utter the last words, a slash separated his head from his neck. ''As if... as if listening to.Your stupid last words" murmured Li Ming in an obvious exhausted tone; fighting against several cultivators and one even of gold rank without using his Aspect Totem had been quite difficult for him.

''This is what you get for calling me a child, although you have a point,'' Li Ming smiled slightly and Xiao Qiang and Cai Cheng appeared in front of him in time.

Xiao Qiang immediately took a bottle from his Space Ring and gave it to Li Ming. ''This is one of the highest quality healing pills, take it.''

He noticed that Xiao Qiang's voice was not as cold as before and even sounded warm to him. ''Thank you,'' Li Ming easily thanked the prison chief and took the pill; the man's loyalty was strong to Glory City, so he did not really fear that there was poison in the pill.

''Could you....*huff*.... Do more things? Li Ming asked with a bitter smile on his face as his body trembled slightly.

''Of course,'' Xiao Qiang replied immediately.

''Then, take me back....*huff*....to the City Lord Mansion.....'' Li Ming's bloodied body fell backwards to the ground with a small satisfied smile on his face.

His gains in his day were huge!
