641: Chapter 641 Ade's Discovery
Mecaff began playing the recordings for Xiao Weiqing.
Seven match recordings, totaling two hours.
The final match was the monthly championship battle, where a member of the Human Race faced off against Xigu of the Yao Race.
Watching until the end, Xiao Weiqing frowned. The Human Race contestant in the final match had average strength; he didn't even know any Starry Sky Ultimate Technique, and his attacks were seen through by Xigu of the Yao Race throughout the entire fight.
Xigu's strength was clearly a tier above the Human Race contestant, or rather, a tier above all the other contestants in the May Unlimited Fighting Arena matches.
Moreover, he seemed to have a deep understanding of the martial arts of the Human Race and knew how to counter them.
The match recording finished.
Xiao Weiqing fell into deep thought.
"Could the information from the Holy Land be incorrect?"
No, that was impossible.
The Holy Land could not make a mistake.
Xiao Weiqing's second-stage mission for advancing to the Seventh Heaven was far more important than an S-rank mission; the Holy Land would not provide incorrect information.
But four months ago, the Human Race contestants in the Unlimited Fighting Arena were a bit weak; it was impossible for Qi Hao to be among them.
"Could it be that Qi Hao appeared in the exhibition matches but did not participate in the unlimited matches?"
Only that scenario made sense.
But if that were the case, what was Qi Hao's motive for participating in the Fighting Arena?
If he didn't win the match, there wouldn't even be any rewards.
"Mecaff, help me pull up the matches of the May exhibition match champions."
"Mr. Qin, is it all of them?"
Xiao Weiqing said: "Yes, all of them."
"Mr. Qin, there were a total of 30 champions in the May exhibition matches, including 14 from the Human Race, 6 from the Yao Race, and 10 from the Mechanical Race."
"Play them directly."
...
Box 2101.
Unlike the situation in other boxes, there were no heated shouts or unsightly scenes.
Instead, it was unusually quiet.
A young man was staring at a virtual interface, which was playing past match recordings. The young man watched carefully, not missing a single detail.
Yet he showed no interest in the intense fighting currently happening in the Fighting Arena, which was quite strange.
"Mr. Qin, this is the last one."
Mecaff opened the recording of the final championship match of the May exhibition matches.
Ten minutes later.
The match recording ended.
Xiao Weiqing fell completely silent.
"That shouldn't be right."
Where exactly was the problem?
Could Qi Hao be participating in the matches just for fun?
"Mr. Qin?"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Xiao Weiqing turned his head to look at Mecaff.
"The match has ended. Red Fox of the Yao Race has won this month's unlimited fighting championship."
"Hmm, I see."
Xiao Weiqing had glanced at Red Fox's match earlier. Red Fox was not only skilled in Divine Soul attacks but also quite adept at close-quarters combat; in the final decisive battle, he had caught his opponent off guard.
"Mecaff, help me prepare the match recordings from three years ago, the unlimited matches. I will come to watch them tomorrow."
Mecaff nodded respectfully: "Yes, Mr. Qin."
After Xiao Weiqing left.
Mecaff checked the box to ensure everything was back to its original state, then closed the door.
Outside the door, Ade was waiting.
"Sister, how did it go?"
Mecaff sighed: "Ade, I told you, Mr. Qin does not have those kinds of thoughts about me. Today, he just watched some match recordings."
"Really, none at all?"
Ade felt a bit discouraged.
"Yes, Mr. Qin's eyes are different from others; they are very clean. When he saw the opening performance today, all he showed was shock and disgust."
"I know Mr. Qin is extraordinary, which is why I arranged for you to serve him. If he takes a liking to you, perhaps he could take you away from the Fighting Arena and out of the Land of Ashes."
"Ade, don't say these things anymore. People like us are destined to grow old and die here."
Upon hearing this, Ade sighed and asked again: "Sister, besides watching match recordings, did Mr. Qin do anything else, or say anything?"
Mecaff said: "Mr. Qin told me to prepare the match recordings from three years ago; he will come back to watch them tomorrow."
Ade nodded slightly: "It seems my guess was correct. Mr. Qin must be looking for someone."
"Looking for someone?"
"Ade, are you so sure?"
"Yes, sister, I am sure. Over the years, I have seen too many people of all kinds. Eyes do not lie."
"The first time I saw Mr. Qin, I felt it. Mr. Qin is different from other guests; his gaze imperceptibly examines everyone in the Fighting Arena."
"Mr. Qin's strength is also not as simple as it appears on the surface. He can easily kill a Yao Race captain instantly; he is much stronger than most unlimited fighting champions."
Mecaff said: "Ade, is it possible that Mr. Qin is also a wanted criminal or an interstellar pirate, and that's why he is sensitive to his surroundings?"
Ade shook his head: "No."
"Sister, you don't understand. When Mr. Qin entered the Land of Ashes, he didn't deliberately hide himself. If he were a wanted criminal, he would definitely have been as low-key as possible when first arriving in the Land of Ashes."
"Sister, trust me. Although your strength is greater than mine, you are definitely not as accurate as me when it comes to reading people. Serve Mr. Qin well; there might be a chance for him to take you away from here."
"I understand."
The two parted ways.
Ade returned to his living quarters.
Using his authority, he searched for three years' worth of unlimited fighting matches and watched them one by one, not missing a single one.
Especially those involving Human Race contestants.
Ade's eyes burned with intensity as he carefully watched everyone, not missing a single detail. He wasn't watching the combat because his strength was insufficient, and he couldn't grasp the nuances; he was watching these people's eyes and body movements.
While watching, he took out a piece of paper to make notes.
Having been in the Fighting Arena for so many years.
The only skill Ade had honed was using eyes and some physical details to identify every contestant and guest who entered the Fighting Arena, analyzing their motives, preferences, and dislikes.
After all, he only had Tier 4 strength, while the guests were all Star Lords and Dominators; a single moment of carelessness could cost him his life.
By the time Ade finished watching all the match recordings, it was already the next day.
Ade decisively took a day off and continued to pull up the video of the May matches.
While watching, he flipped through his notes.
"That's not right."
"There is a problem."
Ade frowned tightly. He watched an unlimited fighting match from May and a match from three years ago several more times, not missing a single frame.
"This person..."
"No."
"It could also be a Yao; there is definitely a problem."
Most people who came to the Fighting Arena to become contestants would hide their identities because no one knew if they would be backstabbed and turned in for a bounty.
The Fighting Arena never concerned itself with these matters either.
However, there was usually a fixed identity. If one frequently changed identities, everyone would know there was a problem, and a big one at that; they would end up being targeted regardless.
Ade calmed his emotions and swallowed the few pieces of paper he had used for notes.
He began to think in his heart.
Although he had discovered a problem, he didn't know if this was the same person Mr. Qin was looking for, or how he should communicate this to Mr. Qin.
After all.
Up until now, everything was just his guess; what if he guessed wrong?
Not only would he be in trouble, but his sister would also suffer, perhaps even worse than death. He had seen the methods of the Fighting Arena.
