Hong Qing Shan turned his head and saw a group of people surrounding a handsome young man who was walking towards him with a smile, it was indeed Young Master Lei.

  "Sir——" Gongzi Li just opened his mouth and was stunned.

  Because Teng Qing Shan ignored his existence and didn't even acknowledge him, he instructed the small-eyed fatty: "I want both of your Red Wind Battle Beasts!"

  "Altogether it's six thousand taels of silver. I'll go call the head steward over." The little fat man with small eyes was very excited, and hurried off to call the person in charge.

  The young master Lei, ignored by Qing Shan, couldn't help but feel annoyed. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.

  "On the continent of Duanmu, which martial saint strongman doesn't put on airs? Not having an arrogant attitude would be a strange thing." Gongzi Li tried to persuade himself in his heart, "Father said that when dealing with martial saint-level strongmen, one must be sincere! Only then is it possible to invite them." Although he wasn't clear about Tan Qing's strength.

  Ke Gongzi Lei determined that this person in front of him might be at the level of a Martial Saint.

  "Who wants to buy two Red Wind Warhorses?" An old man wearing brocade robes smiled at Teng Qing Shan and the others, suddenly his gaze shifted to Gongzi Li on the side, greatly shocked, he immediately bowed and saluted, saying "Young Master!"

  "Uh-huh."

  Gongzi Li smiled and walked over, looking at Tong Qing Shan, "Sir, these two Red Wind War Horses are a gift to you." In the Duanmu Continent, the title 'sir' was usually used to address someone with respect.

  "Thanks!" Teng Qing Shan said calmly, he didn't refuse anyone who came.

  Someone offers, why not accept?

  "Sir, there's a place for tea and rest right next door." Young Master Li smiled and said, "Sir, let's go there together..."

  "No," said Teng Qing Shan, "I still need to buy some items."

  "What does sir want to buy? Just say it and I'll instruct someone to take care of it." Young Master Li said with a smile.

  Teng Qing Shan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Gongzi Li with some interest. He thought to himself: "Let's see what this little guy wants to do." In Teng Qing Shan's eyes... a young master of the Fang Manor was indeed just a little guy! After all, according to Teng Qing Shan's knowledge, there were thirty-six main cities and over a hundred small cities on the Duanmu Continent.

  According to rough estimates, although Duanmu Continent has two states of the Nine States and Two Lands, its population is roughly only 200-300 million.

  Congenital strongmen, although there are not a few. However, they are distributed among the main cities. It is estimated that in one main city, there may be only one or two congenitals at most. Some powerful families may have several martial saints. Weak and small families may not even have one martial saint.

  "Martial Saint? The Martial Saint of Duanmu Continent is just Innate, what's the big deal!" Teng Qing Shan was now only one step away from reaching the Virtual Realm.

  At his level, there is probably no one who can be his opponent.

  Such strength...

  Indeed qualified to ignore a square family.

  "The great masters of martial arts from all over the continent would also be defeated with just a few moves." Teng Qing Shan was confident because he had real power.

  "I want to buy a horse carriage, a good horse carriage!" Teng Qing Shan said with a smile, "A horse carriage that can hold ten thousand catties of goods and travel quickly."

  Young Master Lei was slightly taken aback.

  Ten thousand catties of goods?

  Ordinary carts can hold ten thousand catties of goods and their wheels will sink in. So the requirements of Mount Tengqin are indeed quite strict.

  "It's settled then. One hour later, my men will bring the carriage." Young Master Lei said with a smile.

  "This silver..." Teng Qing Shan just opened his mouth.

  Gongzi Li said: "This little money is nothing to Fang Li. Sir, why don't we go over there and sit down for a cup of tea?"

  Teng Qing Shan glanced at Li Kun, smiled and nodded. At this moment, Gongzi Li absolutely wouldn't take another glance at Li Kun. In his eyes, Teng Qing Shan was much more important than a beautiful woman. In the chaotic world of Duanmu Continent, only the strong could attract the attention of various families.

  ******

  Nuli Fang Cun, a large two-story building in the style of a traditional Chinese quadrangle courtyard.

  Hong Qing Shan, Li Kun and that young master Lei sat around a square table. The line of sight passed over the hollow railing on the side, and the empty courtyard in the center of this building could be seen clearly. This large building was in the shape of the character "口", and the central courtyard was at least fifteen zhang long and wide.

  At this moment, a huge iron cage, ten zhang long, ten zhang wide and over one zhang high is placed in the central courtyard.

  This giant iron cage has a faint smell of blood.

  "Hmm, what's this iron cage for?" Teng Qing Shan asked in surprise.

  "Sir, didn't you know?" Young Master Lei was somewhat surprised.

  Next to him, Li Kun said: "My brother has entered the slave market for the first time and is not familiar with this kind of place." Young Master Lei nodded, smiling and saying: "I suppose you've heard of 'Cage Fighting'? This is what they call a 'cage'."

  "Gladiatorial Arena?" Qing Shan understood in his heart, listening to Gongzi Li's tone, people on the Duanmu Continent should have all heard of "Gladiatorial Arena".

  Gongzi Li continued: "I reckon in a little while, the fighting will begin."

  Teng Qing Shan and Li Kun both took notice.

  The entire first floor of the giant building was packed with guests, all excitedly chatting.

  "Today's first round, Second Brother, are you betting on a person or an animal?"

  "Yesterday gambler lost, I don't believe today still lose. I bet again!"

  "Boss Wang, you won several thousand taels of silver yesterday, didn't you?"

  A murmur of discussion came from downstairs.

  Listening to them, Hong Qingshan gradually understood: "What they said is that this iron cage is for gambling. It should be that one person and a wild beast are both put inside the big iron cage. Let them fight each other in the iron cage until only one side survives! And the people watching around can bet on which side wins!"

  "A loud roar suddenly rang out."

  The entire building fell silent, and Teng Qing Shan also looked down from the second floor. At the entrance, he saw a tall man with a height of over 3 meters, wearing animal hide, with a face like a rock carving, holding an iron chain in his right hand that was bigger than a human head, leading a snow-white lion into the building. Then, another robust man with a height of over 3 meters came in, dragging a thin and frail man whose hands and feet were all locked up in iron chains, with scars all over his face.

  "Huh?" Tong Qing Shan stared at the two people in shock, who were being led by iron chains.

  "Is it that high?" Li Kun was also surprised.

  On the vast land of Kyushu, a height of one zhang (2.5 meters) is extremely rare. Suddenly, two appear at once here.

  "Sir, those two are from the far north, they are from the Qing Shi tribe around Qing Shi Lake in the northern cold region." Gongzi Li said with a smile, "This Qing Shi tribe has been living in the extremely cold regions of the north for generations. In such places, ordinary people can't survive at all. The people of this tribe are strong and powerful by nature! Every adult member of the Qing Shi tribe is nearly one zhang tall, born with two to three thousand jin of strength, and not afraid of extreme cold."

  Hong Qingshan was amazed in his heart.

  Towering physique, can indeed be called a giant!

  Yu Huang initially told me that the environment of Beihai Continent was harsh. Teng Qing Shan sighed in his heart, "Survival of the fittest, the races that can survive in a harsh environment also have their own strengths."

  In the courtyard downstairs.

  A middle-aged man wearing a golden fur hat and thick leather coat laughed loudly: "Everyone, the old rules apply. Today's first round is a fight between humans and beasts. The slaves who will be going in to fight today have already fought twice before. Both times were human versus human, and they killed two people each time. And this Snow Lion has fought once before, tearing its human opponent into shreds."

  "Human wins, 1:3 odds. Snow Lion wins, 1:1 and a third odds. Place your bets."

  The first floor immediately became lively, with shouts of betting rising and falling.

  The second floor is much quieter.

  Someone specially ran to each table and asked.

  "Gentlemen, would you like to place a bet?" A young man with gleaming eyes looked at Teng Qing Shan and Gongzi Li.

  "Sir, shall we play a round?" Young Master Lei said with a smile.

  Hong Qingshan glanced down and took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket: "One or two silver coins, human wins!" In fact, the odds of winning were very low.

  "One or two silver coins?"

  The other guests not far from the second floor were all somewhat surprised, because those who could go up to the second floor just drank some tea and had to pay tens of taels of silver. The general bet was over 100 taels of silver... Even for those who placed bets on the first floor, it was rare to have less than 10 taels. However, when they saw Young Master Lei on one side, no one dared to say anything.

  "Isn't it too little?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the young man.

  "No, no." The young man connected again.

  "I'll also spend a few silver coins to buy a beast skin." Young Master Li said with a smile.

  The young man made a bitter face and took it again.

  He will soon bring over the betting slips for both of them.

  "A thunderous roar shook the entire building, and that majestic snow lion had been put into an iron cage. As soon as it was freed from its restraints, the snow lion let out a mournful cry in the iron cage, and even used its sharp claws to swipe at the surrounding iron bars. The specially made iron cage was shaking violently, emitting a chaotic clanging sound."

  "Alright everyone, betting is closed!"

  "The cage match begins!"

  The middle-aged man let out a loud roar, and immediately another member of the Qing Shi tribe untied the slave's iron chains, opened the iron cage door, pushed him in with one hand, and threw in a short knife.

  "Clang!" The iron cage door was closed again.

  At this moment, there is only one person and one beast in the huge iron cage.

  "Ahh!" The slave in the iron cage let out a beast-like howl, holding a short knife and constantly dodging around inside the cage. Meanwhile, the Snow Lion was slowly but steadily closing in, seemingly searching for an opportunity. Apparently, this Snow Lion also knew... that the human in front of it was not to be trifled with.

  Suddenly——

  Wow!

  The snow lion suddenly pounced out, as fast as lightning, and directly rushed towards the slave.

  "Ah!" The slave's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in a fierce grimace, and with a loud roar, he stabbed out with his knife in the brief moment between life and death.

  Pong!

  The tall body of the Snow Lion crashed into the iron cage, causing it to shake violently. The Snow Lion was already powerless and about to fall down. But that slave was hugging the Snow Lion's head, roaring, and continuously waving a short knife, stabbing it repeatedly into the Snow Lion's neck.

  Fresh blood stains the snow lion's fur.

  "Ahhh~~" The slave excitedly raised his head and let out a loud roar, he had finally survived. Although there would be more killings later on, after all, he had escaped this calamity.

  "Haha, I won!"

  "Damn it! I lost several thousand taels of silver, but at least I won once!"

  The whole building was in an uproar.

  "Sir, you win." Young Master Lei smiled and looked at Teng Qing Shan, "I've come to this cage fight many times, but when humans fight beasts, humans usually win. I've only encountered three exceptions. This is the third time."

  Hong Qingshan smiled lightly and looked down at the slave below him.

  "Who is the most famous slave of this cage fighting, sir?" Young Master Li said.

  "I don't know." Teng Qing Mountain shook his head.

  The tall, middle-aged man standing beside Gongzi Li smiled and said, "In the Cage Fighting Arena, there was once a very famous and ferocious slave. According to legend, he was thrown into a pack of wild beasts as a child and grew up drinking their milk, possessing innate divine strength! Although he didn't know internal energy, his actual strength surpassed that of internal energy masters. In the ninety-eighth round of the Cage Fighting Arena, he won every match. Even a post-heavenly peak expert was torn apart by him. This slave was known to everyone as 'Fierce Beast'."

  Hong Qingshan was somewhat surprised.

  Won't internal energy, yet can tear apart a postnatal peak expert alive?

  "Could it be that he also knows the internal family fist?" A strange thought flashed through Teng Qing Shan's mind.
