Chapter 260: Athletic Palace
The old man's words made Yan Chuan and Leng Yan stunned for a moment.
I thought it was just the old man himself who came up with such a strange idea in order to get the martial arts stickers for a while, but now it seems that there is a force behind it that is controlling everything, constantly collecting martial arts stickers, and seems to be preparing some conspiracy.
"If I told you everything I knew, would you let me go?" said the old man, who was very clever, poured out some of his stuff and began to negotiate terms.
It seems that he is not very stupid either.
"All we can say is not to kill you!" replied coldly.
Feeling the killing intent on Leng Yan's body, the old man felt a chill, thought about it left and right, and still felt that his life was important, so he would save his life first, so he began to explain.
"In fact, this is all controlled by the 'Athletic Palace' behind the scenes, he collected a large number of martial artists to sell their lives, and asked these martial artists to come out to find martial arts stickers, and find martial arts stickers and buy them at a high price. The old man said slowly.
"Athletic Palace, what are they collecting martial arts stickers for?" Yan Chuan was puzzled.
If you want to participate in the Holy Martial Arts Conference, a martial arts post is enough, but why let so many people collect it?!
"I don't know, but I think the Athletic Palace may want to control the selection results of the Holy Martial Conference, so as to ensure that their people can enter the Ten Thousand Emperors Gate smoothly. The old man said.
Hearing this, Yan Chuan and Leng Yan were taken aback: "Control the results of the Holy Martial Conference?"
"That's right, you said, if the Athletic Palace can get a lot of martial arts stickers, and then most of the martial artists who participate in the Holy Martial Arts Conference are from the Athletic Palace, wouldn't it be better for them to enter the Ten Thousand Emperors Gate when there are more of them. And the Holy Martial Arts Conference, one level is to let the martial artists with martial arts stickers to guard, if they challenge their own people, then they can't cheat. ”
The old man slowly went around with a terrible plan.
Yan Chuan and Leng Yan were dumbfounded.
"If that's the case, maybe it works. ”
"Then how many martial arts stickers have you collected?" Leng Yan couldn't help but ask solemnly.
"I don't know, I only know that a martial artist got one two nights ago, and as for how many martial arts stickers the Athletic Palace has got now, I don't know. The old man said slowly.
"You really don't know?" the cold eyes flashed with murderous intent again.
"I really don't know, how could the people of the Athletic Palace let us know about such a secret matter. The old man was suddenly anxious.
Yan Chuan and Leng Yan glanced at each other, then gagged the old man's mouth, exited the room, and bowed back to Xiao Chen.
After listening to the two of them's reports, Xiao Chen frowned.
"If it's really like this Wang Er's novel, then this Holy Martial Arts Conference doesn't seem to be simple. Xiao Chen's face was a little solemn, and he turned around and asked, "By the way, what's going on in the Athletic Palace?"
Yan Chuan still knows a lot about the affairs of the middle capital, and stood up and said: "The Athletic Palace is a force in the middle capital, with the arena as the main business goal, the competitive industry has developed rapidly in the middle capital in recent years, and the warriors like to be in the limelight and judge a high and low, and the arena is to use such martial artists as a business goal to create a reasonable fighting environment for them." ”
"And I heard that the strength of the Athletic Palace is unfathomable, and when it first appeared, it was squeezed by a few super masters in the middle capital, but the Athletic Palace finally grew, which shows that its power is not bad. ”
After listening to the introduction, Xiao Chen found that he still lacked understanding of the Athletic Palace, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, tomorrow we will go to this Athletic Palace first to have a look and see what the origin is." ”
"Then what about that Wang Erxiao?" When he said this name coldly, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he really couldn't bear that an old man would have such a strange name, which made him doubt the authenticity of this name.
"Tie him up first, don't leak the news, and wait until tomorrow to investigate. ”
The next day, the inn was open for business, and everyone didn't pay attention to the thief incident last night, if it wasn't for the old man's confession, I'm afraid even Xiao Chen wouldn't have imagined that someone would dare to do something at the Holy Martial Arts Conference of Wanhuangmen.
In the morning, Xiao Chen and Yan Chuan cold-eyed the three of them went out of the house to eat, and many martial artists around looked at them, which attracted the attention of many people for the strength Xiao Chen showed.
Xiao Chen also felt that there seemed to be a trace of hostility in the eyes of those people, and now that the Holy Martial Conference had not yet started, some people had already begun to regard him as an opponent.
After breakfast, Xiao Chen behaved very indifferently, letting Leng Yan stay and guard the old man, while he took Yan Chuan out of the inn together, inquired about the name of the Arena Palace, and walked all the way towards the Arena.
The central capital city is full of flowers, and as the center of the mainland, all industries here are very developed.
The Athletic Palace also emerged in recent years, but it has risen extremely fast, taking advantage of the character of mainland martial artists advocating martial arts to develop the competitive industry.
In today's Zhongdu City, as long as you are a martial artist, you almost like to go to the arena every day to watch one or two competitions, comment on them, and feel your strength.
After walking through two streets, turning a corner, I came to a huge palace.
There is a welcoming girl at the door, wearing a light silk veil, and greeting guests at the door, so that those who come can feel a VIP feeling at the door.
"This Athletic Palace is really interesting. ”
From this alone, Xiao Chen saw that the Athletic Palace was extraordinary, and he could use details to attract the enjoyment of martial artists, which was not something that ordinary merchants could come up with.
After entering the main hall, a middle-aged businessman dressed as a businessman in his thirties immediately walked up, and when he saw Xiao Chen and Yan Chuan, they first clasped their fists and saluted, and then said politely: "The two adults are polite, the next surname is Jia, and they are in charge here, and the two adults look at the eyes, it must be the first time to come to the arena, right?"
Xiao Chen's heart moved slightly, and he glanced at Steward Jia, and it was not strange to see at a glance that the two of them were living people, and those who could do things here must have some ability to remember in their eyes.
But it is not easy to see the identities of the two of them as 'adults'.
Judging from Xiao Chen's divine sense investigation, this Jia is only an eighth-level martial artist of the Martial Sect, but he can see through Xiao Chen and Yan Chuan's cultivation at once, which is not simple.
You must know that Xiao Chen has hidden his breath, and although his appearance is dressed as a Confucian student, he is also quite young, but the other party can still feel Xiao Chen's breath, so as to judge that Xiao Chen's cultivation is higher than his, so he is called 'adult', presumably this person in charge is not so simple as it seems on the surface.
Xiao Chen and Yan Chuan nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Lord Steward has good eyesight, it is indeed the first time we have come to Zhongdu City, and I heard that there is a new competitive palace here, so the two of us came to see the excitement." ”
Xiao Chen's words were also half-true, and Steward Jia didn't ask much, and then began to introduce the Athletic Palace.
The competitive items in the Arena Palace are divided into several categories, including martial arts level arenas, martial sect level arenas, martial king-level arenas, and demon beast arenas.
These types of arenas are of different grades, the prices are not the same, and the audience of the audience is also different.
The most watched ones are the Demon Beast Arena and the Martial King Arena.
Especially now that the Holy Martial Arts Conference is imminent, there are many martial kings who have come to the central capital, and there are naturally more competitive martial artists who watch the martial king-level.
In addition to watching the battles, I also want to learn more about potential strong competitors and improve my own awareness.
"Hey, what's going on with this Demon Beast Arena?" Xiao Chen didn't understand this.
Steward Jia smiled and said: "Oh, this demon beast arena is where we caught some demon beasts, there are martial sect-level demon beasts, there are also martial king-level demon beasts, some martial artists have strong combat effectiveness, and they are dissatisfied with fighting with humans of the same level, so they want to fight with demon beasts, the demon beasts are powerful, and the defense is also perverted, which is the most suitable for martial artists to practice, and some people are just to vent and have a good time, so they fight with demon beasts to test their strength." ”
"I see. ”
Xiao Chen was a little surprised by this, he didn't expect that the Athletic Palace would have such a means, even the Martial King-level giant demon could be caught, and it could be seen that the Athletic Palace was extraordinary.
After the two of them understood, they then paid first and came to the martial sect-level arena to take a look, and the price alone cost five pieces of superb dragon soul incense per person.
Steward Jia said before leaving: "If the two of you are interested in going down to the arena to appreciate the style of the arena in person after watching the battle, you can come to me, the registration fee is ten yuan of the value of the best dragon soul incense, if you can win the battle in the Martial King Arena, you can get a seven-grade pill 'Xiao Huandan'." ”
"Xiao Huandan?!" Yan Chuan's eyes lit up.
Xiao Chen's was a little stunned.
Xiao Huandan, Xiao Chen is very clear, that is, he still has a few Xiaohuan Dan in his hand, all of which were left to him by the Killing Martial King, which can greatly increase the cultivation of the user.
For martial artists in the realm of Martial Sects, if they can improve their strength by one level out of thin air, it is against a strong person at the level of Martial King, and the effect is also very great.
Yan Chuan's eyes are shining as a good proof of this.
"Sir, it's a little Dan, what a big stroke. Yan Chuan was excited.
Xiao Chen nodded.
I didn't expect the Athletic Palace to be able to take out a seven-grade pill Xiao Huan Dan in a competition, and they don't know how many games they have to fight every day in the Martial King Arena, but for so many years, the Martial King who participated must be a terrifying number, if you win a game is Xiao Huan Dan as a reward, then the Athletic Palace doesn't know how much Xiao Huan Dan has taken out.
"They must have an alchemy master in charge, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many pills as a reward. Xiao Chen secretly guessed.
While speaking, Steward Jia led them to the back of the palace, and then walked through a long corridor and opened a door, and after Xiao Chen and Yan Chuan walked in, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
The face of the arena has finally appeared!
