Mountain Sitting Immortal-Chapter 92: Challenge.
"Even if I lose, it doesn’t mean I’ll close down the red dojo. There will be some problems when they block the gate, but I can always move the dojo somewhere else and start there."
"But I won’t lose." He said with a grin of anticipation, "They don’t want me to steal their livelihood, but that’s exactly what I am going to do."

He knows just how much Skylar needs the funds from the dojo because he knows that Skylar is preparing for the regional sect examination that will be held next year.
Skylar wants to improve his chances of getting the force diagram, so he needs the grand blood pills. If he misses this opportunity, he will be too old for the next regional sect examination.
So it is very important that he maintains the profit of the Owl Claw dojo. But Arthur doesn’t care. He too has benefits to fight for.
The news about the upcoming challenge spread far and wide. He wasn’t the one who spread it. It was Skylar and the Owl Claw dojo that told everyone they knew about it.
They sent letters of invitation to the dojos in the area. They told their disciples about the fight and also told those disciples to tell others.
In fact, they made it compulsory for their disciples to attend the fight. They even went to great lengths to invite dojo masters who didn’t have dojos around the Red dojo and were not significantly affected by the free teaching of the basic mana breathing technique.
They wanted everyone to be there when they humiliated and belittled the childish master of the red dojo.
All of their efforts paid off. In one day, they were able to amass an audience of more than 3,000 people.
That morning, Arthur still went out to distribute bread. He went through his day as if there was nothing special about it.
The difference was that when he returned to his house, there was someone waiting there for him with directions to the venue of the fight.
Apparently, the location of the fight had been moved from the front of his house to outside of the city because of the large amount of people that wanted to see the fight.
This made him shake his head and say inwardly, "This Skylar is rushing things. Why can’t he make the challenge occur in one week? That will give him more time to accumulate an audience and prepare a more fitting location. It is almost as if he is in a rush."
He felt that things were moving too fast, but he didn’t object to it. Instead, he received the invitation with a smile. Then he went into his house to wait for his students to arrive.
His students trickled in a few minutes after. They came carrying their mats or pieces of fabric that they would sit on. Some of the fabrics were neat while others were just rags.
His students came from mostly poor backgrounds. But there were also children from lower-class families who can afford basic living requirements but can’t afford the expensive tuition of dojos.
As he looked at them, he said proudly to himself, "Not for long now."
He is sure that after the fight, more students from the lower class and middle class will show up for his class. It made him smile.
The class went on as usual. Kelvin received his wave of karma. It was a little more than usual, which could be because of the increase in the number of students he was teaching.
It made him start considering the future. He chuckled to himself and said, "Maybe I should start preparing to move to a bigger location like Skylar."
When he chose his yard to be the location of his dojo, he knew it wasn’t going to be enough eventually. After all, nothing can beat something that is free. But he didn’t expect his yard to become inadequate so fast.
He has only been teaching the class for a week. He expected to change location after at least a month. But things are moving faster than he expected.
He will have to change the location of his dojo once the benefit of his upcoming fight arrives. It is something he has to do if he wins and becomes popular or loses and has to avoid the Owl Claw dojo’s area of influence.
But changing location is not a problem for him since he doesn’t have much to move. Besides, he already has a location in mind to move to.
After class, he led his students to the venue of the fight. There were a lot of people there already waiting for him.
The venue of the fight is an open field. There is an area of sand in the middle of the field of grass.
This field is a popular location in Agete city. It is a location that many dojo masters and prominent figures use to settle their scores through battle. The area of sand in the field was created after many years of erosion by many fighters.
Since this kind of event is pretty common and popular, no one had to instruct the thousands of audience members on how to behave. They arranged themselves in a circle around the patch of sand at the center of the field.
Closer to the sandpit were the masters of dojos and other prominent figures who had come to watch the fight. The laymen were situated farther away from the pit.
The fight is not that impressive since only those in the first mortal coil would be fighting, so not a lot of people arrived, and the power of the audience was also at the first mortal coil.
Even so, the number and the power of the people that had come to witness the fight are enough to have a major impact on the dynamics of dojos in at least the area of the fourth street where the Red dojo is. So the outcome of this fight will lead to significant impacts on the city.
