Chapter 46: The Arena
The martial arts world is based on martial arts, and the arenas and ring matches used for the competition are naturally indispensable, and it is not an ordinary ring, it is a life and death fight, and you have to sign a life and death certificate before you go up, and there is no complaint about life and death.
"The martial arts arena is fundamentally for the purpose of fighting for life and death, and signing the life and death certificate is not to prevent someone from being killed and make trouble, but to tell you that if you go up and lose, there is a high possibility of being killed."
Fan Ping'an wore a strange eagle mask and sat in a room with many players waiting for the competitionβthe pitiful treatment of the newcomers, while chatting with the dark in his consciousness.
"Martial arts is the art of killing, not to mention that monsters are rampant in the martial arts world, and a large number of masters are needed to protect the city, and the soft competition cannot cultivate real masters."
Shen didn't care: "In addition, the rules of this arena are actually founded by Taizu of the martial arts world, and now the behind-the-scenes managers of the arena in each city are from Zulong City, called Zulong Chamber of Commerce, because of the relationship between Taizu, all empires sell face." β
"A third party, it's okay like this, lest I kill any son-in-law, and someone will immediately find out my identity and send a martial artist to kill me."
Fan Ping'an touched the mask on his face, this mask can be worn when you sign up, mainly to prevent being recognized and retaliated, after all, this is a life and death fight: "Since it is a third party, the nobles in the city should not be able to get my true identity information." β
"This is a rule that has been left behind by the lessons of blood."
"But let's not talk about whether those two enemies will come to the ring to compete, even if you come, you are not the opponent of those two enemies now, and you are still focusing on making money and cultivating strength." β
Fan Ping'an nodded: "I know, this is just a possibility, at present, I only have this way to get close to them, and I can make money and cultivate, but then again, the appearance fee for this fight is too little, only one gold coin, I am selling my life money, and I haven't lost yet, only if I win, it's really black." β
"A newcomer like you, or the lowest-level martial artist, it's good to have a gold coin, after all, it's just the beginning, there is no audience, no one bets on you, it means that the arena has no income, and it is quite kind to give you money."
Shen said angrily: "When you win more times and can be promoted to the high-level field, there will be an audience and someone betting on you, so your appearance fee will naturally be high, of course, there are too many martial artists in the martial arts world, and you can't sell it at a good price, even if everyone is used to life and death fighting." β
"That's called investment!"
As soon as Fan Ping'an said a word, suddenly a middle-aged man outside came in with a notebook and shouted, "Huangjie No. 315." β
"Yes."
Fan Ping'an immediately stood up, because No. 315 is him, and the yellow rank represents the martial arts stage, under normal circumstances, the competition will not appear in the cross-border realm, of course, this realm refers to the big realm, not the third-rate martial arts, the second-rate, the small realm will not be divided, because it is too common for martial arts to defeat the strong with the weak.
"It's your turn for the next one, come out."
The middle-aged man glanced Fan Ping'an up and down, and for some reason said with some pity, Fan Ping'an walked out with him, and in the passage, the middle-aged man said: "If you can't hold on, shout surrender and admit defeat as soon as possible, according to the rules, once you shout surrender, the other party can't attack you again, otherwise it will be a foul, and if he kills you, then he will also be punished." β
"I said uncle, you are so optimistic about me, although I just came, but it will not be defeated, right? Could it be that this time my opponent is a first-class martial artist? β
Fan Ping'an heard what the middle-aged man meant, and said with some dissatisfaction, the middle-aged man glanced back at him and said, "Like you, you are a second-rate martial artist, according to your information, you are cultivating the iron sand palm of the Yellow Rank and the Iron Cloth Shirt of the Xuan Rank, right?" β
"Yes, that's a Xuanjie exercise."
Fan Ping'an said with a triumphant look, the Xuan-level exercises are really nothing in the eyes of those families, but it is quite proud that a scattered person can have the Xuan-level exercises, of course, the god-level exercises that someone cultivates can never say, not only that the exercises can't see the light, even if you see the light, you have a god-level martial arts at the level of a martial artist, and you are completely waiting for others to kill you and grab the exercises.
"Just so confident in the Xuan-level exercises, it's really sitting in a well and watching the sky."
The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully: "Those children of the family, even if they are sidelined, all they have are good or not, and your iron cloth shirt is just a lower grade of the Xuan rank, this time you are unlucky, you met a family child, not only have they been brewed with various precious medicinal materials since childhood, improve their qualifications and root bones, but also take out any exercise is stronger than your iron cloth shirt, unless there is a big adventure, it will never be the opponent of the children of the family, I think you know this." β
"What, family boy?"
Fan Ping'an looked surprised, there is a world of difference between ordinary scattered people and the children of the family, this is the common sense of the martial arts world, not only the gap in the exercises, but also the gap in the means of cultivation, which Yin and Fan Ping'an said in detail, it is like this.
"In the martial arts world, generally speaking, before the age of fourteen, they will not directly quench their bodies, but will only practice some basic martial arts, during this time, ordinary people will buy some monster meat at most to enhance their lower physique, but those family children are soaking their bodies with precious medicinal materials and the blood of various monsters, improving their qualifications and root bones, and this alone has opened up the gap between the children of the family and ordinary people, and each family child is cultivated with a lot of resources, and the starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people."
"In addition, the children of the family have been reading since they were children, and their knowledge in all aspects is not comparable to ordinary people, so unless there is a big adventure, it is a moat, ordinary people are not the opponents of the children of the family, but like a god-level exercise, it is a great adventure, and few of the descendants of the god of the underworld are children of the family, and the world that can kill them is feared by them, and the immortal god trick has the effect of improving qualifications."
So Fan Ping'an's surprise was just pretending to be surprised, but the middle-aged man didn't know this, he sighed and said: "Yes, so I let you surrender and admit defeat as soon as possible if you can't hold it, there is nothing to be ashamed of, from ancient times to the present, no strong man has not been defeated, and saving his life is the most important thing." β
This middle-aged man is a good person, and what he said is also good words, but Fan Ping'an is special, he blushed, and pretended to be unconvinced: "What about the children of the family, I don't believe that I can't compare to them, try it in the ring, I see if they have three heads and six hands, by the way, I remember that the rules of the arena are that you can buy yourself to win, then I will buy all the gold." β
"Generally speaking, in order to prevent cheating, contestants can't buy their own losses, but they can buy their own wins, and at the same time, every competition with competitors betting on their own has a special supervision from the Chamber of Commerce, if cheating is found, then you will directly break your limbs and throw them out of the arena, however, you are the most basic competition, there is no gambling at all, you are not even eligible to buy."
The middle-aged man sneered, he was really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and he didn't bother to say it, anyway, he had no relatives and no reason, besides, people always have to understand how big this day is, how wide the ground is, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the gap between ordinary people and the children of the family is so big that they don't know if they don't try it in person.
I think he was also ambitious when he was young, and he thought that he could become a martial emperor, but as a result, the years have passed, and today he is only the peak of a martial artist, and even the martial arts can't break through, if he was born in those families, he would never be a martial artist for the rest of his life, and few of the children of those families can't break through the martial arts.
Fan Ping'an pouted secretly, it seems that it is impossible to make an extra profit, as long as he is not a first-class martial artist, he is confident to defeat the other party, god-level martial arts is not a joke, although he does not have a relatively high-level martial arts, this is a weak board, but he believes that his hard cultivation is enough to make up for this.
Soon, Fan Ping'an and the middle-aged man walked through the long passage to the competition ring of the Yellow Rank Primary Field, which is actually a school field, very simple, with some chairs next to it, and there is no audience seat other than that, after all, this is only a primary field, and if you want to be promoted to the intermediate field, you only need to defeat an opponent, which is basically a whetstone nature.
When it comes to the intermediate field, you need to defeat at least ten opponents to be promoted to the senior field, and there is a small range of gambling in the middle, and the senior field is different, each game has a large number of spectators to watch, and then bet, the appearance fee will not be only a gold coin so pitiful, it can be said that the senior field is a formal arena.
When Fan Ping'an arrived, there was already a man in a brocade robe waiting there with a young man, the young man did not wear a mask like Fan Ping'an, he was very arrogant, when he saw Fan Ping'an coming in, he looked him up and down, and said quite disappointedly: "Uncle Li, this kid is so thin, he can withstand a few punches from me, it's boring." β
"Third Young Master, don't underestimate any of your enemies."
Although the man known as Uncle Li looked like a subordinate, he unceremoniously lectured: "This enemy in front of you is the opponent that we specially prepared for you after discussing with the Ancestral Dragon Chamber of Commerce, proficient in iron cloth shirts, if you underestimate him, you may die in his hands!" β
"What's the matter, you actually leaked my information?"
Fan Ping'an was shocked and angry, what kind of Ancestral Dragon Chamber of Commerce is this, and said that the third party is more reliable, but he leaked his information to the other party in the first game, and he was designated as an opponent.
"This is unavoidable, people are nobles and privileged."
The middle-aged man sighed, and then said: "But don't worry, I just said this, nothing else was said, and besides, about your true identity, no one will leak it, which my Ancestral Dragon Chamber of Commerce can guarantee." β
