C22 Conspiracy!

Arles was seriously training in the "round arena". Arles was always very confident in this chance to effectively increase his own strength.

At this moment, Arles was battling against the virtual opponent created by the Mystic Domain Battle Arena. He had the strength of a Level 9 Martial Master with a huge three-meter long sword in his hand. Since Arles didn't have a suitable weapon, he only chose a protective glove to use. He wanted to block the big man's attack.

The big guy swung the huge sword at Arles with a sweep of his arm. The speed of the sword shocked everyone. The sound of the wind breaking sounded along with the swing of the sword. Even Arles wouldn't feel good if he was hit. Arles released all his battle qi and easily dodged the man's fierce attack. With both of his hands on the man's sword, he kicked towards the man's face.

The big guy's reaction was also very fast. At the same time Arles struck with his feet, he raised the sword upwards. Arles was also thrown into the air by the lifting force. The big guy's counterattack did not stop there. He retracted his giant sword, inhaled, and then slashed his sword out for a month and a half before attacking Arles who was in mid-air. Arles crossed his hands with the gauntlet to block the attack.

"Chi …"

When the huge sword and the boxing gloves clashed, Arles only felt his hands go numb as he was knocked out. Arles landed on the ground. He didn't even stop when his feet touched the ground. His body closed in on the big man like an arrow leaving the bowstring, his elbow striking the big man's unguarded abdomen.

"Boom!"

The big guy was also knocked back a few steps by Arles's attack. In this short ten seconds of confrontation, the two were evenly matched. He didn't give his opponent any benefits.

Arles twisted his hands that were numbed by the huge sword and looked at the big man. He didn't hide his smile and excitement at all. Those who were familiar with Arles would know that Arles was addicted to such battles. A battle like this was what Arles wanted.

After a few slight adjustments, Arles did not linger and quickly attacked the big man. The big man did not show any signs of weakness as he raised his huge sword to block Arles. The two people in the battle went back and forth, intensely clashing against each other.

In such a high-intensity battle, Arles did not relax at all. Because as long as he relaxed even a little, Arles knew that he would lose.

Arles was also getting used to the pace of the battle. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could challenge a Zong Stage powerhouse. Arles was also looking forward to the day that he would challenge someone with a higher cultivation level.

Arles had been fighting in the Arena for almost two hours now, and his fatigue was slowly showing. His battle qi was also decreasing. However, Arles was still able to persevere. At the beginning, it was a bit difficult. But after getting used to it, there was nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

In Arles's intense battle, his training also slowly came to an end. Arles dodged it in time. However, it was unknown if Arles didn't notice it, or if he didn't have the strength to dodge it. Then, another sound of wind came from behind him.

Along with the sound of wind breaking, a small dagger appeared in Arles's line of sight. Arles didn't know why this dagger appeared. Arles didn't have the energy to dodge the dagger at the moment. Although it wasn't a big shot, he still couldn't let Arles be distracted.

At this moment, the class ended, and the 'Colosseum' automatically disappeared. Arles looked at the dagger behind him and dodged. Although he dodged fast enough, his arm was still cut by the dagger. Bright red blood dyed the white school uniform red.

Arles looked at the dagger on the floor and wondered: "Who is plotting against me?"

Everything from the group challenge this morning to the current ambush seemed to be planned out beforehand. In the end, who was the one who wanted to cause trouble for him?

"Luckily, I got lucky this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as having my arm bleed." Looking at the wound on his arm, Arles thought with some lingering fear.

"The training has already ended. It's better to go and heal." Arles thought as he watched his students leave. After that, he put away his student ID and walked out of the training grounds.

Just as he walked out of the training field, Arles saw Daria and his subordinate, Karman, waiting for him there. Seeing Arles's figure, the two of them leaned towards Arles. When Daria walked in and saw the blood stains on Arles's arm, she panicked.

"Arles, why is your hand injured?" Daria's actions made Arles feel as if the one injured wasn't him, but Daria.

"It's nothing, it's just a small wound. Just wait a moment and use a basic water or light magic to help me heal." Arles patted Daria's head.

Upon hearing Arles's words, Daria immediately started to cast elementary water magic. He started to treat Arles.

"Boss, how did you get your hands on it? I remember that this" round arena "might feel pain, but it won't hurt, right?" Karman looked at the wound on Arles's arm with doubt.

"Yeah, Arles, how did you get injured? I also remember that this" round arena "won't hurt anyone!" Daria asked as she treated Arles.

Arles took out the dagger that hurt him and said, "This is the one that hurt me. Someone shot this dagger at me when my mind was at its weakest."

"Just who wants to harm you?" Daria and Karman asked at the same time.

"I don't know. Something's been wrong since this morning."

Under Daria's treatment, Arles's wound quickly healed without leaving a single scar.

"Thank you, Daria."

"Hmph, it's nothing. "This small matter won't trouble me." When Daria heard Arles's thanks, her original arrogant and lovable nature surfaced once again. It was the complete opposite of the worry she had just now. Looking at Arles and Karman, he felt a burst of laughter. They all thought at the same time, "Women are really fickle."

Arles rubbed Daria's head, who was still feeling proud of herself, "Alright. Okay. Daria, you're the best. Let's go and have a rest first. We still have to attend the second class later on. " Then he took the lead.

"Arles, you're treating me like a little girl again, right?" Daria stomped her foot and scolded Arles who was walking forward.

Arles turned his head and said to Daria with a smile, "Okay, First Miss, I won't wait for you if you don't leave." With that, he turned around and walked forward again.

"Wait... "Wait for me …"

Daria shouted loudly and chased after Arles, who was at the front, sulking.
