Chapter 2045 - 1843: The Kept Man

Chapter 2045: Chapter 1843: The Kept Man

So in these ten days, besides the old hands, Song Yun was the only one who made a name for himself.

Of course, he only made a name; everyone didn’t think much of his strength.

His speed was indeed fast, but when he fought the Beidi Three Eagles, he only unleashed the momentum of the early stage of the SS level, and others were unaware of his true potential.

The early stage of the SS level doesn’t have much competitiveness in the Four Doors Tournament.

This day finally marked the official start of the Four Doors Tournament.

The venue was set at a flat open area near the mountain wall, with the arena cut from a huge stone, connected to the mountain wall.

Around the arena, seating was arranged.

There were about eight hundred seats, clearly not enough to accommodate everyone.

These seats were set for those above the SS level; as for those below, they could only stand and watch.

Song Yun’s seat was right next to the Lin family.

He was a distinguished guest of Dongfang Yun and had good relations with the Lin family, so he was seated in the front row.

Actually, his seat should have belonged to the Shen Family.

At this time, whether participating or spectating, people were arriving one after the other.

The crowd was so large that even if people talked in low voices, the entire venue was bustling.

"I wonder who will win first place this time."

"The first place will naturally emerge from those four people."

"Which four?"

"Changshan’s Lu Tiange, Lin Family’s Lin Jun, Shen Family’s Shen Lingyun, Gu Family’s Gu Man. These four have all reached the peak of the SS level. Who can rival them?"

"Each of the four great powers has one contestant, it’s just uncertain which house the first place will go to."

"Who cares which house gets the first place, in any case, this Four Doors Tournament will be exceptionally exciting."

The focus of the discussions fell on the four strongest contestants.

Song Yun sat in his seat, observing the surrounding situation.

The area closest to the arena was divided into four zones: Changshan, Shen Family, Gu Family, and Lin Family.

The Lin Family side was already familiar to him.

He looked towards Changshan’s side, but did not see Dongfang Yun.

However, a young man with outstanding charisma caught his attention.

This person held a sword with both hands, looked straight ahead, and there was a gleam of eagerness in his eyes.

Although he hadn’t moved at all, he gave off a sense of sharpness, quite confident, and his expression a bit arrogant.

This person must be Changshan’s Lu Tiange.

Perhaps sensing Song Yun’s gaze, Lu Tiange turned his head.

Their eyes met, Song Yun smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.

The other was Dongfang Yun’s senior brother, and Song Yun knew Old Li had connections with Changshan, so even though his first impression of Lu Tiange wasn’t great, he still gave him some face.

But unexpectedly, Lu Tiange just squinted his eyes, showing a look of animosity, and turned away, ignoring Song Yun.

Seeing this, Song Yun was displeased.

It seemed like he was extending a warm face only to be met with a cold shoulder.

But what was with this inexplicable hatred, it wasn’t like he had killed the guy’s parents?

Song Yun couldn’t be bothered to figure out why Lu Tiange hated him, so he shifted his gaze towards Gu Village on the other side.

The people from Gu Village rarely came out; now, they all had cheerful expressions, eyes full of curiosity, discussing enthusiastically.

Gu Zi seemed to have become the center, surrounded by others, listening to her talk about the wonderful world outside.

But a sturdy man sitting in the front row wasn’t listening to Gu Zi’s storytelling.

He was looking down, polishing a large axe on his lap with a very serious expression and a simple smile on his face.

Though he seemed simple, he exuded a calm and powerful aura.

Gu Man!

Song Yun immediately concluded that this was Gu Village’s strongest seed player, Gu Man.

This person was much more likable than Lu Tiange and made Song Yun feel favorable.

As he was about to look away, Gu Man unexpectedly looked over.

Gu Man nodded, smiled slightly, and before Song Yun could respond, he lowered his head and continued polishing his axe.

This guy, he’s interesting.

Song Yun chuckled, suddenly.

A cold aura locked onto him.

That aura was filled with killing intent.

He turned his head to see it was coming from the Shen Family’s area.

That cold aura belonged to a young man.

The young man was very ordinary-looking, not outstanding in appearance, but his long, narrow eyes were a notable feature, giving off a sinister vibe.

At the moment, he was staring at Song Yun with murderous intent in his eyes.

Who is this guy?

Song Yun was puzzled, but seeing the young man’s seat in the front row, next to him was Shen Han.

There was no doubt this person was the Shen Family’s strongest contender, Shen Lingyun.

"The Shen Family bears a deep grudge with me. If Shen Lingyun encounters me, he’s bound to go for the kill."

"Heh, but who’s to say who will die in the end."

Song Yun sneered internally, gave Shen Lingyun a disdainful look, then made a throat-slitting gesture.

This action was undoubtedly a challenge to Shen Lingyun.

Shen Lingyun’s expression changed, and his narrow eyes glared at Song Yun, filled with rage.

In his view, Song Yun was nothing but trash, yet he dared to provoke him.

He intended to intimidate Song Yun with his gaze, but he found that Song Yun had already turned his head, not paying him any more attention.

Shen Lingyun was so furious he gritted his teeth, looked at Shen Han beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Shen Han, you’re right. That guy Song Yun deserves to die!"

Shen Han said, "Little uncle, if you meet him in the arena, just kill him."

Although Shen Han was only a few years younger than Shen Lingyun, by seniority, Shen Lingyun was his little uncle.
