The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 71- Uproar In The Martial Hall Pagoda

As Mar-Dule was in his thoughts, Sol suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! Brother Mar-Dule, I receive a message that my battle is going to start soon."

"What?"

Mar-Dule turned to look at Sol skeptically.

That shouldn’t be, it should have taken a long time for a newbie match to be scheduled. However, Sol showed Mar-Dule his Disciple Token and sure enough, he was telling the truth.

But what further shocked Mar-Dule was the person’s ranking.

"12th? This doesn’t make sense."

Mar-Dule was suspicious, especially when the person’s name wasn’t revealed.

He tried to recall the Mortal Rankings but it constantly changes on a daily bases, so it was impossible to put a name and a face to this person.

"But isn’t this a good thing? I can raise through the rankings faster!"

"Ah, wait brother Sol!"

Mar-Dule having realized something tried to stop Sol from accepting the match, but he had already done so before he could prevent him.

"What’s the issue brother Mar-Dule?"

"Aye! Be more cautious, will you? Look here, the match isn’t a normal match, it’s registered as a life-and-death match! The Martial Hall never schedules these matches for newbies, these are only scheduled by disciples themselves that have an irreconcilable grudge. And I don’t need to explain how different a life and death match is from a normal match."

Sol couldn’t help but blink at this.

"So the academy allows disciples to kill each other?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

"You said it yourself, the academy is very competitive and animosity can arise because of this, even become blood feuds where one person cannot live under the same sky as the other. So the Academy created this system inside the Martial Hall for disciples to settle the matter. And what happens on the stage remains on the stage."

After thinking for a moment, Sol said.

"Alright, I’ll be careful from now on brother Mar-Dule."

After saying that, Sol went to find the stage he would be having his first battle.

Mar-Dule seeing his attitude catch up to him and asked.

"Wait, do you understand what I’m trying to say?"

Sol nodded.

"I know, someone set this up so they can kill me. I don’t know why, but I’ve never offended anyone since I entered the acad-"

Sol couldn’t finish his words since he suddenly paused and turned to look at Mar-Dule. The both of them then looked at each other with skeptical expressions on their faces.

"It couldn’t be him. That was only moments ago. To take revenge this quickly..."

Mar-Dule said this while being rather dumbfounded.

"There’s only one way to find out."

Sol said as he turned to look at the stage he would be fighting this person who wanted him dead.

It was stage number 101.

Sol walked over with Mar-Dule following behind. The Runes and Formations disciples were still around them to part the crowd.

Just before they reached the stage, Mar-Dule looked around with a strange expression on his face.

He realized that people in the crowd were following them. Well, they were following Sol specifically.

’Just what the heck is going on with these people?’

After they reached the stage, Sol turned to Mar-Dule and said confidently.

"Brother Mar-Dule, perhaps you should start climbing the rankings soon. I might overtake you in no time."

"This brat, someone is plotting to kill you and all you’re worried about is climbing the rankings?"

"Haha, if someone wants to take my life then it won’t be so easy."

After saying that Sol turned to a green robe disciple and handed Little Zeel to him.

"Look after him for me until I return, okay?"

The burly youth nodded, having already seen Sol as someone their Young Master was acquainted with. Plus they had heard his words before, and they were entirely moved by his personality.

Perhaps he could be a good influence on their Young Master to tone down his viciousness.

After Sol patted Little Zeel and leap onto the stage, the burly youth and Little Zeel glanced at each other.

Quickly, the burly youth’s stern expression lit up and he suddenly began cooing at Little Zeel while rubbing his cheeks against his fur.

It seemed like he had wanted to do this for a while.

Meanwhile, Little Zeel ignored the burly youth and turned to the stage, something had happened.

When Sol leaped onto the stage, the crowd erupted into a frenzy for some reason.

"That’s him! That’s definitely him!"

"Hey, go called everyone over here! The person who was said to have climbed the Heavenly Staircase has finally shown his face!!"

In an instant, almost the entire lower floor of Martial Hall Pagoda burst into chaos like it was a bottle that had been shaken to its limit before being opened.

In reality, ever since Sol stepped foot inside the Martial Hall Pagoda, news of his arrival started spreading, with everyone waiting for him to make a move.

The disciples from the other side of the Martial Hall Pagoda heard the news and rushed toward stage 101.

Something like this had never happened before.

Perhaps only matches in the higher arenas have ever gotten people this excited.

As for those ten in the Heaven Arena, they had inherited their positions so they didn’t need to climb the Arenas like everyone else. So there was no spectacle when they took their positions.

Mar-Dule who was watching this scene in astonishment couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed a disciple from the crowd and asked before the disciple could protest.

"Tell me what’s going on?!"

The youth seeing who it was stopped himself from cursing before saying respectfully.

"Brother Mar-Dule, we are just excited to see the person who has climbed the Heavenly Staircase."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Brother Mar-Dule, haven’t you heard of the recent news that someone has successfully climbed the Heavenly Staircase?"

The youth looked at Mar-Dule with a skeptical expression.

"Of course I have! How can I not when that’s the only thing people have been talking about? But what I want to know is what does that have to do with my friend on the stage?!"

"Ah! You’re friends with that legendary figure?!"

Mar-Dule was even more confused upon hearing this youth’s words.

Seeing his expression, the youth hurriedly explained.

"Brother Mar-Dule, recently news of this person’s appearance began to spread after the Headmasters of the Divine Beast Pavilion, the Irregular Dharma Pavilion, and the Elemental Dharma Pavilion tried to cover it up. The person was said to have pale skin, hair like a lion’s mane, and black bracelets on his wrists and legs."

The youth said nothing further, knowing Mar-Dule would understand who he was talking about.

Mar-Dule shoved the youth back into the frenzied crowd before he turned to look at Sol with his eyes twinkling.

Mar-Dule then released an uproarious laugh as he said.

"I can’t believe I ended up making friends with someone so amazing. And here I was thinking this person would be some arrogant fellow from the Six Holy Sects or the Five Great Clans. But as it turns out it’s just brother Sol! I wonder how people would react when they find out who he truly is... he’s from our Barbarian Race! HAHAHA!!"
