Chapter 120: The Colosseum
The furnishings in the room are simple, but elegant, a few bamboo chairs are lined up, and the young man in white said to Xiao Yao: "Please take a seat!" ”
Xiao Yao thanked him, and then sat down with Yanniu left and right, Lao Bi still stood on Xiao Yao's shoulder, looking at the young man in white arrogantly.
The young man glanced at Lao Bi in surprise, then sat down on the chair opposite Xiao Yao, and motioned for Teacher Cang to sit next to him.
"Your Excellency is a jack-of-all-trades!" Xiao Yao asked politely.
"That's right, it's me!" Han Xiaosheng nodded indifferently, obviously admitting the title of jack-of-all-trades.
Xiao Yao was slightly surprised, it seems that this Han Xiaosheng really has some skills, and it is not polite to be called a jack of all trades!
Han Xiaosheng seemed to see through Xiao Yao's thoughts, smiled lightly, and asked, "Do you want to enter the eighteenth layer of hell?" ”
"That's right!" Xiao Yao nodded, he came here to ask this.
"If you want to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, you must first enter the gladiatorial arena, and you must earn one hundred points in the gladiatorial arena." Han Xiaosheng said.
Xiao Yao was silent, this gladiatorial arena should be the screening that Teacher Cang said, but Xiao Yao didn't understand the rules of the gladiatorial arena very well.
"Anyone can sign up to enter the gladiatorial arena, challenge or be challenged, and each victory can earn ten points, which means that you must win ten consecutive victories in the gladiatorial arena before you can sign up to enter the eighteen layers of hell!" Han Xiaosheng seemed to know what Xiao Yao wanted to ask, and he had already said the answer before Xiao Yao could speak.
Xiao Yao's eyes showed a slight surprise, this Han Xiaosheng doesn't seem to be simple, it seems that he can see through people's hearts.
"And what if you fail in the gladiatorial arena? Do I need to deduct points? ”
Han Xiaosheng's face suddenly became serious: "If you fail in the gladiatorial arena, you will not deduct points, and the points are no longer of any use to the loser, because almost all the people who fail in the gladiatorial arena are dead!" ”
"What!" Xiao Yao was shocked, but after thinking about it, he understood that this is the city of freedom, and the battle here is not a competition, but a real battle of life and death, only in the battle of life and death can human potential be stimulated, and such a battle failure often means death.
"Since you dare to come here, you prove that you will not be afraid of death, and all the people who come here are just like you, if you are destined to live a mediocre life, it is better to die happily!" Han Xiaosheng's every sentence can point directly to people's hearts and make people think deeply.
"I want to enter the gladiatorial arena to get points, please give me some advice!" Xiao Yao humbly asked for advice, he felt that the cold little student in front of him must be a master.
"The gladiatorial arena is divided into three levels, first, second, second, and third, most of the first-level gladiatorial arenas are newcomers, and only by accumulating one hundred points can they enter the second-level gladiatorial arena, and if they accumulate five hundred points in the second-level gladiatorial arena, they can enter the third-level gladiatorial arena. If you enter the gladiatorial arena, it is best to experience a period of training in the first-level gladiatorial arena first, even if you have accumulated a hundred points, don't easily enter the second-level gladiatorial arena, because the worst opponents in the second-level gladiatorial arena are the top existences in the first-level gladiatorial arena! ”
Xiao Yao was a little puzzled and asked: "The gladiatorial arena is just a channel to obtain points, everyone's ultimate goal is to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, why is there a level in the gladiatorial arena?" ”
Han Xiaosheng shook his head: "You're wrong in this way, do you think it's easy to break through the eighteenth layer of hell?" Some people may not be able to break through the first layer in their lifetime, and those who are trapped, or who cannot break through because of their lack of strength, will choose the gladiatorial arena as a place to accumulate strength, because in the gladiatorial arena they can fight continuously. ”
"After a long time, the gladiatorial arena is not just to get points to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, but to become a place where many strong people accumulate strength, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the gladiatorial arena, you must not be careless!"
It seems that the eighteenth layer of hell is not as easy as imagined, if you can't break through the eighteenth layer of hell, the gladiatorial arena seems to be a good choice!
Xiao Yao thought silently.
"Sir, what are the trickier characters in the first-level gladiatorial arena?" Xiao Yao asked.
Han Xiaosheng nodded: "You are right to ask this question, if you want to enter the gladiatorial arena, you must know that those people in the gladiatorial arena cannot be touched, this will make you live longer!" ”
"In the first-level gladiatorial arena, there are four people you must remember. Soul snatching in dreams, killing people invisibly, good at soul attacks of cherished dreams. The emaciated camel is not as big as a horse, and a skinny horse with the blood of a dragon horse. The butcher is known as the big official, and the woodcutter is the merchant with the title of woodcutter. The strength of these four people could have entered the second-level gladiatorial arena a long time ago, but in order to gain points and impact the eighteenth layer of hell as soon as possible, they had already stayed in the first-level gladiatorial arena for a long time, and countless strong people had died under their hands. ”
At this time, the Yan Niu who was sitting on the side suddenly spoke: "Wait, who are you talking about, a big official?" Is it a big official who likes to show his weapons before every battle? ”
"That's right, it's him, haven't you heard of it?" Han Xiaosheng asked.
Yan Niu sneered: "I've heard that this person is more sword than the three musketeers we have, and he always likes to show off his high-grade treasures before every battle, taking the opportunity to intimidate his opponents, but I didn't expect to see him run to the City of Freedom for a few years!" ”
"Don't talk about people like that, the big officials are my idols!" Teacher Cang on the side said with a look of adoration.
Xiao Yao silently wrote down the names of these people, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" What about the second-level gladiatorial arena? Are there any particularly perverted characters? ”
"Of course there is, but it's useless for you to know too much now, it will affect your state of mind, so let's wait for you to experience a while in the first-level gladiatorial arena, and then come to me!" Han Xiaosheng said.
Xiao Yao nodded, he understood that it was really useless to know too much at this time: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, I'll go to the gladiatorial arena first!" ”
"Please!" Han Xiaosheng got up to see off the guests.
Watching Xiao Yao and the two leave, Teacher Cang asked with some confusion: "Boss, how are these two people?" ”
"It's very good, but the specific strength depends on his performance in the gladiatorial arena, you let people pay attention to it and tell me in time!"
"Yes!" Teacher Cang nodded happily.
Leaving where Han Xiaosheng lived, Xiao Yao and Yanniu went directly to the gladiatorial arena.
On the way, Yan Niu suddenly said, "Brother Xiao Yao, do you think that Teacher Cang feels a little weird?" ”
"I think he's a little strange when you say that, but I can't tell you what is strange?" Xiao Yao thought about Teacher Cang's performance all the time and said.
"I don't think he's a man!" Smoke Girl said.
"Ah, I finally think it's strange when you say that, yes, he doesn't look like a man in terms of action or other aspects." Xiao Yao patted his head and suddenly realized.
"But it has nothing to do with us, don't you care about him!" Xiao Yao thought for a while and said.
"Yes!" Yan Niu was only temporary, and asked casually, and when she heard Xiao Yao say this, she immediately stopped thinking about it.
The city of freedom was built on a hill, and the colosseum was located halfway up the mountain.
Asking along the road, he came to the gate of the gladiatorial arena, and to Xiao Yao's disappointment, the gladiatorial arena of the entire Freedom City was famous, and the gate could only accommodate two people to enter side by side.
It is said that it is the gate, but in fact, it is on the cliff wall halfway up the mountainside, and three words are carved, gladiatorial arena.
However, when Xiao Yao entered the gladiatorial arena, he completely changed his perception of the gladiatorial arena.
Entering the stone gate carved out of the cliff wall, there is a hole inside, and the entire mountain wall seems to have been hollowed out, and the scale inside is half the size of a free city.
There are all kinds of stone rooms, restaurants, teahouses, etc., and it is really impossible to imagine that anyone has such a big hand to build half a town in the mountain wall.
The most central circular area, where the arena is located, is divided into three levels, each representing a level.
Xiao Yao took the smoke girl and walked all the way to the round gladiatorial arena with a feeling of amazement.
Walk through the arched gate and up the stairs to the high platform, where you don't encounter any administrators and get a panoramic view of the Colosseum.
Around the arena are stepped seats, which are supposed to be intended for spectators, and in the middle is a circular arena, which is very spacious, and there are two people fighting fiercely.
The surrounding audience was silent, mostly young people, unlike Xiao Yao's previous battle in the academy, a large group of people watched and talked about it, obviously these people were not only spectators, but also members of the gladiatorial arena.
The atmosphere here is very silent, even a little solemn, and it is difficult not to become strong if you can stay alive for months or years in such an environment.
Xiao Yao and Yan Niu found a place to sit down and watch the battle below.
This is the first floor, which belongs to the scope of the first-level gladiatorial arena, and it is also the place where Xiao Yao is about to fight, so Xiao Yao at this moment is looking very carefully, he wants to understand what kind of strength the people who enter the gladiatorial arena are!
The two young men below are both the strength of the three turns of the Star Core Realm, and they should be on par depending on the situation, but the weapon in the hand of one of the young men seems to have taken advantage of it, and it is a mortal-level high-grade treasure weapon, so now they have the upper hand steadily, and they have been pressing the other young man to fight.
The people in the gladiatorial arena are almost all young people, most of the cultivators are in the star core realm, and some may have reached the star transformation realm, if an older powerhouse comes here, he can almost sweep the gladiatorial arena and directly enter the eighteenth layer of hell.
However, it seems that those older powerhouses are not very interested in the eighteenth layer of hell, and no one has come here at all, so I don't know why.
Xiao Yao didn't understand this, but in the future, Xiao Yao would know that it was not that the eighteenth layer of hell could not attract those super strong, but because the eighteenth layer of hell was closely related to age, in other words, the older the age, the lower the success rate of the level.
In the end, the young man with the high-quality weapon won the victory, and his opponent was killed by his sword.
No one in the audience exclaimed, not even the people who spoke, and it seemed that such a thing as killing people had long been commonplace.
Xiao Yao's heart was a little shocked, and at the same time, he also understood a little more about the rules of the gladiatorial arena, there is only life and death here, and the benevolence of a woman is the way to death.
