This Purple Gold Infinity Card wasn't too much of a surprise, but what surprised Lin Yao'er was the shopping list Yun Sheng gave to her.

A Purple Gold Card with at least 100,000 gold coins was not that unexpected. Although Doctor Yun's identity was still unclear, but with her unbelievable healing and refinement skills, she wouldn't have to worry about food or lodging anywhere. It was only right for her to have money.

But what was this shopping list?

"Five hundred copies of blank spell scrolls, ten baskets of each tomatoes, cabbage, eggs and stones, ten letter writers and storytellers, five thousand rice papers, and a lot of good brushes and animal blood ink," this was the odd shopping list that Yun Sheng had given Lin Yao'er.

Lin Yao'er grew up in Inaba Mountain since she was a child. She had many connections in the city. Not to mention that she was also clever and cautious. Even though Doctor Yun's shopping list puzzled her, she didn't ask, and acquired all the things at the lowest price.

That night, Yun Sheng brought a group of storytellers and letter writers and worked with them throughout the night. Only the next day at dawn, did the storytellers and letter writers leave.

***

For two days and two nights in a row, Yun Sheng and the other three Phoenix members didn't meet, because the three were all in closed-door cultivation.

It wasn't until noon of the assessment day that the energic Phoenix trio and the non-stop yawning Yun Sheng gathered together again.

"Today's battle is crucial for us, Phoenix. But there is one thing you have to keep in mind, no one can just mindlessly rush in, and we have to pay special attention to Yun Sheng's safety at all times," Feng Kuo resumed his position as captain immediately. Even when they had been facing a huge problem, never had Feng Kuo been as serious as today.

Because he knew that Black Guardian, which they would be facing, was even more ferocious than beasts.

"Yes, Boss Feng!" the other three said in unison.

Wen Renhuo winked at Yun Sheng, his meaning was if Yun Sheng had bet on them, and Yun Sheng nodded her head with a strange smile.

The four of them left the inn and went to the arena.

As they walked along, they saw other mercenaries. Whether they were spectators or competing on this day, they all nodded their heads in a friendly manner towards them, causing them to be baffled.

When did Phoenix become so popular?

"Phoenix, I'll be looking forward to it!"

"Phoenix, hang on and beat Black Guardian's group of Hou Blessing Empire dogs until even their own parents won't be able to recognize them anymore!"

"Phoenix, the dignity of Great Zhou Empire's mercenaries is up to you to defend!"

At some point, a few old mercenaries simply came over and shouted this towards the members of Phoenix.

"I say, it's only been a few days since we went into closed-door cultivation, has this young master grown more handsome again, why are so many people sending secret glances my way?" In his opinion he was quite handsome, so it was only normal for him to receive the fawning looks and affection from the female mercenaries.

"It has nothing to do with your girly looks, this is the reason," Mu Nan Yan had a page of paper in her hand, which was handed to her by a mercenary.

"Black Guardian, Beastly Mercenaries, Public Enemy of Great Zhou Empire's Mercenaries!" After this line of glaring headlines, there was a piece propaganda written like an epic novel, on which the people of Black Guardian were described in indelible blood ink in addition to all their "bad deeds" since their debut.

From the time they arrived at Inaba Mountain, they would injure and kill everyone indiscriminately, the Hei brothers would sneak up to dogs to kill them since young, and the stories of them killing weak and old women and children were written vividly and in great detail.

The person who wrote that, had their way with the pen. They swore they would write the course of the events incomparably truthfully. After reading this page, people would gnash their teeth at Black Guardian, even beasts would roar at Black Guardian.

"Not only that, but I heard that there are also storytellers in inns and even in the marketplace who speak about Black Guardian's deeds. Some even say that Hou Blessing Empire's Black Guardian did not only come to take part in the examination, but to eradicate our landsmen. Black Guardian was secretly sent by Hou Blessing Empire to crush the budding sprouts of Great Zhou Empire's mercenaries," Feng Kuo also heard this kind of information.

Combined with Black Guardian's brutal behavior these days, all the rumors had mixed to form an even more outrageous tale, and the entire Inaba Mountain, from the mercenaries down to the common people, they were all hostile towards Black Guardian.

These rumors that came out now added fuel to the already raging fire, which contributed to the odds between Phoenix and Black Guardian. Black Guardian was extremely cruel and Phoenix would likely suffer in the arena, if not most of them would be killed!

The original odds of one to five had been raised hard to one to seven.

This phenomenon, of a stark contrast in odds and great support, was happening for the first time in the history of the arena.

This had even caught the Mercenary Union's attention. Since the establishment of the Mercenary Acropolis, no mercenary squad had ever drawn so much resentment to itself.

As much as there was disgust for Black Guardian, just as many people cheered for Phoenix.

When Phoenix arrived at the arena, after being welcomed like heroes, the three were baffled, except for Yun Sheng, but they quickly brushed their surprise aside. After all, the tournament was about to begin, and everyone's mind had to be extremely focused.

Same as Phoenix, Black Guardian had been in closed-door cultivation for the past few days.

In Hei Da's opinion, Phoenix was much more difficult to deal with than Jungle Tiger. Although the opponent had the obvious weakness of the Loli Summoner, the cooperation of Feng Kuo, Wen Renhuo and Mu Nan Yan was famous.

They had conducted a strict analysis on the three of them, and found the weaknesses of Feng Kuo, Wen Renhuo and Mu Nan Yan.

But nobody studied Yun Sheng. Firstly, she was too young to be regarded as a threat, and secondly, there was no information to study. Yun Sheng had never been on a mission and she had practically not made a single move in the arena, so Yun Sheng became a blind spot in the research area.

After the four brothers had researched thoroughly, they were pretty confident in defeating Phoenix. But right when they arrived at the arena, they felt that something was wrong. Along the way, everyone had looked at them with odd expressions, as if they had personally snatched their wives or abducted their children.

"Brother, don't you feel that everyone around us is a bit weird? Why does everyone look like they want to tear us apart?" Hei Si was a summoner, he had the sharpest observation skills, and could discern people's emotion most clearly.

He figured that if their stares were daggers, there would be a thousand holes in the four brothers by now.

"You're overthinking, it's all irrelevant," Hei Da was unconcerned. He was just about to enter the arena when he suddenly felt the back of his head go cold as something hit him in on the head.
