Chapter 50 - This is the Dark Knight?




        However, Liu Jian Cheng simply ignored Wei Xiao Bei’s complexion, and praised him .

        “Can I go on stage again?”

        Wei Xiao Bei was unwilling to just return with 1,400 yuan, so he asked the man .

        “You can, let me quickly arrange it for you . ”

        Towards Wei Xiao Bei’s request, the man became extremely happy . For every match that Wei Xiao Bei would fight in, he would gain quite the profit .

        Soon, Wei Xiao Bei once again got up on stage .

        This time, his opponent was called the Dark Knight . Wei Xiao Bei immediately became annoyed when he saw him .

        Isn’t your skin only a bit darker? Why did you have to choose such a flashy name?

        Compared to the previous Homicidal Demon King, this Dark Knight was a lot shorter and thinner . However, his martial skills were a lot better than the Homicidal Demon King, to the point that he was able to exchange a few moves with Wei Xiao Bei .

        However, his martial skill was most probably learnt through street brawls only . There were many holes in his defense . As a result, he was kicked off the stage after a few rounds .

        After winning two rounds, Wei Xiao Bei’s Fierce Tiger nickname began to come out from the spectators’ mouths .

        Wei Xiao Bei, himself, became more excited due to the audience’s shouts .

        However, after the third round, Wei Xiao Bei had no choice but to leave .

        The reason was simple; it was because the arena’s boss was unwilling . From the second round, a lot of the spectators had placed their bets on Wei Xiao Bei . On the third round, other than stupid people, the spectators placed their bets on Wei Xiao Bei .

        Like this, the arena boss would not only not earn money, he would also have to lose money .

        Luckily, the arena boss was still reasonable . Even if he made a loss, he did not leave out Wei Xiao Bei’s appearance fee .

        When they returned to the dojo, Wei Xiao Bei’s face was still filled with excitement . This was the first time he fought on stage . He was not only able to test his martial arts, he was also able to earn money .  

        It definitely couldn’t get any better than this .

        After fighting three matches, Wei Xiao Bei had earned 3,700 yuan . This was simply equivalent to three months salary of his previous job .

        Fighting was truly profitable . However, Wei Xiao Bei’s enemies were too weak . He felt like an adult fighting a grade schooler . He had earned money, but in his heart, he was not that happy about it .

        Wei Xiao Bei was thinking about asking his second apprentice brother to bring him to a better underground fighting arena, when he suddenly heard Liu Jian Cheng speak, “Junior Apprentice Brother, you are not satisfied by today’s fight right? If I knew that you were this strong, I would have brought you to a different one . It’s alright though . I will bring you to Cui Hu City’s best underground fighting arena next week . ”

        “Yes . Thank you second apprentice brother, third apprentice brother . ”



        Wei Xiao Bei was not someone who was unable to differentiate good from bad . His two apprentice brothers had helped him, if he did not say even a word of thanks, he should just return to his mother’s womb .

        With more than 3,000 yuan, Wei Xiao Bei temporarily had enough to use . At the very least he did not have to worry about his rent .

        Today was Sunday, so the dojo was closed . The students who had to brave the intense heat to come and train, would be able to take a break . After all, it was summer break . If they trained everyday, they would not be able to endure it .

        Because the dojo was on break, Wei Xiao Bei was also on break . However, he still woke up very early and trained with his apprentice brothers . Afterwards, he brought Yao Wu to a sport equipment store to buy himself two sets of weight vest and leg weights .

        The weight vest looked similar to a normal bullet proof vest . It was made of thick material and had 16 pockets specifically made to fit weights . The leg weight on the other hand had 4 pockets .


        The weight vest and leg weight costed 150 yuan a set . It was not that expensive, and the quality was not at all bad .

        Wei Xiao Bei tried on one set of weights in the store and picked up the special weights, weighing it in his hand . It weighed almost 100 grams and placed it in one of the pockets .

        After filling up all the pockets, he tried to get the feel of it, but  couldn’t help shaking his head .

        It only had a total of 2kg . It was so light,  he could not feel a thing .

        Seeing Wei Xiao Bei shake his head, the normally silent Yao Wu already guessed his thoughts . A rare smile appeared on his face as he asked the owner, “Boss, do you have any lead plates here?”

        “Ah . We have . The standard weight is 1kg . ”

        The well-built store owner smiled and made his assistant bring one over .



        The lead plates were only as big as a palm so they could fit in the pockets .

        “Bring out 20 pieces!”

        “Wei Xiao Bei tried to weigh the lead plates in his hand and felt that they were not bad .

        When the owner heard it, he already knew Wei Xiao Bei’s thoughts . He tried to dissuade, “Little brother, when the pockets are filled, it would weigh 20 kg . Are you sure you can bear it?”

        Wei Xiao Bei smiled, “Let me try it . How would I know if I don’t try it?”

        After filling up the vest and leg weights with the lead plates, Wei Xiao Bei practised pacing around the place . He slightly frowned but did not take out the plates .

        After paying, he felt his muscle ache .

        Two sets of weight vests and leg weights with lead plates costed him 1,000 yuan .

        He had no choice, since those special lead plates were nowhere cheap to begin with .

        Carrying 20kg everyday would be absolute suffering from a normal person’s viewpoint .

        However, from Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, it was only somewhat heavy . Overall, he kept it on for a long time . His walking had already started becoming strenuous, and it was especially hard when he was training . When evening came, he was already drenched in sweat .

        Wei Xiao Bei continued this for days . There was not a day where he was not drenched in sweat .

        However, his efforts were worth it .

        In just three days, his muscle and sturdiness attribute had both increased by 0 . 1 points .

        Although the changes the training had resulted in were not big compared to manually placing points, it would still continue to accumulate and become beneficial in the future .

        Naturally, he did not forget about The Dust World .

        It was the next Sunday, so the dojo was closed . He bought a bottle of white wine and returned to his apartment .

        After chugging down the bottle, he returned to The Dust World when he opened his eyes .

        Wei Xiao Bei was pondering a question at this moment .

        If there were so many people who get drunk everyday, why is it only me who can enter The Dust World .

        Of course, he was slightly wrong since the previous two dead people were also able to enter . However, compared to  the entire Cui Hu City, it was too small .

        He knew that he would not be able to find the answer . If he truly wanted to know, it would be the same as trying to climb into heaven .

        After leaving the apartment, Wei Xiao Bei went straight to Lake Cui . What disappointed him was that the Fishmen Village had been crushed to nothing . Even the bones of the Fishmen’s corpses had disappeared without a trace .

        Moreover, when Wei Xiao Bei tried to fish for half an hour, he came up empty, and could only helplessly give up . The Fiendish Man Fish which originally needed only a bit of blood as lure simply did not bite .
