Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 154 Arena



[ Ring of Good Health +4 ]

Vincent checked the description and confirmed that this is a Rare Magic Tool that increases the recovery rate of the user\'s physical injury.

It wasn\'t that incredible since other Mana Arts can do this as well. Nevertheless, what\'s important is that this item is already a +4 item!

"This is incredible, Sir Vincent. Although I don\'t have any appraisal skills, I can tell that this has been enhanced… The enhancement is even much higher than my creation so I can feel it even without my tools." Ayla said in excitement.

"Oh? You can tell?"

"Yes! This is the feeling that I\'m getting when I\'m observing my enhanced items with my Observer Tool… Right, that tool is also my Appraisal item. Although it can\'t appraise any item at the level of Epic or above, it really helped me a lot to assess the value of an object… I\'m sure that this Circlet is very pricey… Are you sure you\'re giving it to me?" Ayla excitedly asked. She couldn\'t wait to return to her room and appraise this item.

"Yes… However, may I ask whether there are others who can use this mystical enhancement ability?"

"Unfortunately, no one wanted to join my research… Especially since I\'m only 14 years old."

Ayla bitterly smiled as she continued, "No one would want to explore another field of study led by a young girl… I\'m already happy that Master Turhan is supporting me."

"Is that so? I understand… Once I\'ve regained my eyesight, I will help you. Anyway, I\'ve already taken too much of your time. Let\'s meet again sometime."

"Great! Thank you, Vincent… I will leave now. I also want to study this circlet immediately. You can have the ring in exchange. That would be my welcome gift… Hehe, Welcome to the Black Tower, Sir Vincent!"

Ayla said as she happily left Vincent\'s cabin to return to her room.

"Tara, can you describe Ayla\'s appearance? So I can at least imagine her face whenever I talk to her…" Vincent said as he fiddled with the ring for a little while before tossing it in his Obsidian Treasure Box…

"Hmm… She\'s cute."

Tara answered after a few seconds.

It wasn\'t helpful at all.

"That\'s it?"

"Yeah… Just hurry up and cure your eyes if you really want to see her."

"Haa~ Give me a break… Right, if Rem returned, just tell her to accompany me to the arena tomorrow. That way, I\'ll be sure that no one would pull a trick on me.

"I\'m sure that Turhan will observe the battle though…"

"It\'s better if a Celestial is still there. She\'ll be a good deterrence."

"Hmph… Okay." Tara coldly replied as she returned to her room.

On the next day, the whole floating ship has a festive atmosphere.

The rumors about the battle for love have spread throughout the whole floating ship. Surprisingly, the employees working within the ship liked this event as well! They even decorated the entrance of the arena and set up a betting stand.

The betting odd was 50:1 and the favorite here is quite obvious.

Vincent couldn\'t even imagine that someone would bet on him to win! Perhaps, if he wasn\'t blind, he wouldn\'t be this disadvantaged. After all, although Richard is a Master Magician, Vincent is still a young Aura Knight. He might still have a chance to win if he gets closer to Richard.

Unfortunately, as a blind person, he might even trip on his way to the arena!

"Haha! I wonder how that blind man would fight… I\'m excited. I\'m sure he\'ll be funny."

"That\'s true… However, don\'t you think that the wager should be changed to how long the blind man would last? There was no way he can win, right?"

"That can\'t be… Richard would just manipulate the fight and win when he wanted if we did that."

"Sigh~ It\'s quite weird that this person still dared to fight for Lesley\'s affection. He should just be obedient and leave the clan."

"Well, we can\'t blame him. Miss Lesley is a true beauty. Although he can no longer see her, her appearance must\'ve been etched in his mind already."

The crowd started discussing the upcoming battle.

Perhaps, because Richard wanted Vincent to be humiliated thoroughly, he had invited so many people to watch their battle.

Furthermore, a few elders within the Zemin Clan has even arrived!

They seem to be interested to find out about Richard\'s skills since he\'s about to be engaged to Lesley… or so they thought.

"Vincent… Are you confident?" Yulia asked as she accompanied Vincent on his way to the arena.

Their group is currently in the hallway leading to the central area of the ship. Thanks to Yulia\'s early arrival, Vincent already heard about the situation there.

"Yes… As long as bringing magic tools is not prohibited, I\'m sure that I can deal with him. You can place your bet on me."

Vincent replied with a smile.

"Haha… Very well. It\'s good that you\'re confident. I have a platinum coin here, I might as well use it."

"What? Isn\'t that too huge?" Vincent asked in surprise.

"Oh? Are you not feeling confident anymore?"

"No… But I\'m worried that they won\'t be able to pay you with that odds." Vincent smiled.

Yulia paused for a moment after hearing this…

"You\'re right… A platinum coin should be too much." Yulia then rummaged through her bag and pulled out a pouch of coins. "I guess this would do."

Soon, their group arrived at the central area of the ship and was welcomed by a loud cheer!

That\'s right… Most of the people here were excited to see a battle. They didn\'t have that much of an impression on Vincent so they don\'t really hate or like him…

What matters to them is to see an exciting battle for love! Although it will be a one-sided beating, they were still looking forward to seeing it!

There\'s barely any entertainment in this floating ship after all.

Vincent wryly smiled at this as he was approached by the Black Tower\'s Arena Master.

"Vincent, are you going to accept Richard\'s request for a duel?"

Vincent only noticed someone with a powerful fluctuation of mana and three high-rank items getting closer to him.

When he heard the question, he realized that this person is from the Black Tower. He\'s probably someone related to Sir Turhan.

"Yes."

"Hmm… Very well. Richard is already at the center of the arena waiting for you. Follow me."

The Arena Master said.

Vincent then nodded. He didn\'t immediately follow as he turned to Rem and asked.

"Rem, what does he look like?" Vincent asked referring to Richard.

"Hmm? He looks like a fish… He has big eyes and is quite tall with a thin figure…"

"Ugh… Is that so… I guess it\'s better than Tara giving descriptions… Okay." As he said this, he quickly followed the Arena Master and faced Richard.
