The truck entered the city and headed straight for the eastern block, where there is a large area of abandoned factory buildings, a great place to do something shady, and the location of the Blackstream City's underground fighting arena. Most of the gambling fights in more than a dozen villages and towns around Blackstream City to resolve disputes are held here.

The owner behind this underground arena is said to be a big figure in the Expeditionary Legion. Within the power of the Eternal Night Continent Empire, the Expeditionary Force is an invincible ancient beast, the de facto emperor of this land, so no one dares to mess around in this underground fighting arena.

Each of the abandoned factories in Blackstream City is more than ten meters high, covering an area of thousands of square meters. Five tall factories are neatly arranged together, and the momentum is magnificent. These behemoths made of alloy steel and concrete have survived countless wars and are still standing. From the scale of these factories, you can see the glory of the empire's great industry in the past.

However, as people studied the Force and developed a derivative technique for extracting black crystal from black stone, the first generation of power represented by black stone and steam gradually stopped, and there were no leapfrog technological inventions.

The second-generation energy technology that simulates Force Energy by releasing Black Crystal energy is called Force Power. But this technique is limited in many environments, especially in the lower continents, far from the Sun and the planetary belts, where the Force is weak. As the highest-level driving energy source of the empire at present, it is naturally included in the list of strategic materials, and the control is extremely strict.

Of course, the real obstacle to the use of the Black Crystal technique is the price.

The Primal Power Drive is so expensive that a single chariot engine can buy the entire Lighthouse Town, and although the Land of Eternal Night is worthless in terms of land and human life, a small town is a lot of money in any way. And this kind of thing is basically smuggled goods, and as soon as it leaves the middle and upper continents, the price increases several times.

Qianye wrapped her trench coat tightly and followed Zhao Gongzi and his party into the underground gambling arena. He's in charge of the virtual fighting part, which is a contest of combat skills that doesn't require blood. If it is a normal dispute, just virtual fighting is enough, but since this is a big gamble, it will have to add two additional bloody fights.

Zhao Gongzi, dressed in a formal suit, walked straight to the left side of the fighting arena, sat down on a sofa there, and then lit a cigar, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the opponent on the other side.

Across from him sat a middle-aged man, his bare arms covered in dense tattoos, and his face grim. He was shirted open, and his chest was covered with scars.

The arena has about a few hundred seats, and it's mostly full now.

There are also several boxes above where the fight can be seen most clearly. The box is equipped with one-way glass, so you can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. The boxes are reserved for the real bigwigs, and it is said that the owner of this underground arena is said to be present to watch the fights occasionally. But only the battle of real masters will attract him, and the level of village and town fights like today's is, of course, impossible to attract such big people.

As soon as the time was up, the bell of the underground arena rang, and the three judges entered silently. Their faces were expressionless, their murderous aura was condensed but not dispersed, and they were all second-class soldiers! The referee was also the maintainer of order.

The central figure is wearing a special pistol, and the Force lines on the body of the gun are clearly visible. With the Force gun in hand, the authority of the referee can be guaranteed.

Qianye's gaze swept over the three referees, then lowered his gaze again, and stood silently behind Zhao Gongzi. In Qianye's judgment, these three referees can completely kill the manpower of both sides.

The premise is that Qianye does not make a move.

At this point, a referee shouted, "The fight begins." ”

Zhao Gongzi spit out a puff of smoke rings, then showed an evil smile and said, "Yan Laohu, since you dare to bet so much, how about we come to see some blood first?"

Yan Laohu suddenly laughed, the sound was deafening, and then slapped his thigh hard: "Seeing blood? Okay! I like blood the most! The surname is Zhao, don't be so scared that you pee your pants when the time comes! Dare to fight with me Yan Laohu, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will cut off your hands and feet, soak you in the dung pit, and let you scream for a few days before you die!"

Zhao Gongzi took another puff of cigarette and said leisurely: "There are many people who want me to die, but unfortunately I am still alive and well until now, and those guys don't know where they have gone." Oh, maybe it won't be long before you'll disappear inexplicably, who knows?"

Yan Laohu smirked, all the scars on his chest were trembling and writhing, and said, "Okay! I'll see if you can make me disappear!" Which of you goes down first and chops off the two claws of that kid surnamed Zhao?"

The two big men behind Yan Laohu slowly got up and walked off the fighting arena. Their steps are steady, their faces are expressionless, and their knuckles are covered with calluses.

Seeing these two people, Qianye's heart sank slightly. These two people obviously have the iron-blooded aura of soldiers, and I am afraid that they can be regarded as elite veterans in the Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Qianye's gaze immediately swept over the person behind Yan Baihu, and then drooped down again.

It was an ordinary-looking man, in his thirties, with short, stiff shaved hair. Except for his knife-sharp gaze, there was nothing special about him. But Qianye only sat on half of the stool, his waist was straight, his legs were slightly separated, his hands were on his knees, and he was as steady as a rock.

He seemed to feel Qianye's gaze, and raised his eyes to glance at Qianye, but found nothing. Under the torture of dark blood, Qianye has changed considerably from temperament to appearance, and now he looks like a delicate big boy, and he can no longer find a trace of the ruthlessness of elite legion members like Red Scorpion with battlefield blood.

Zhao Gongzi saw the two big men who were on the field, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. His hand stopped in the air, but he pointed to the middle of the field and said, "Chop them up for me!"

The two fighters who were in the same car as Chiya also stood up, entered the ring, each picked an opponent, and began to confront.

The bell rang three times, and all four men drew their weapons at the same time and pounced on their opponents!

Bloody combat allows the use of short-bladed weapons such as daggers and fist gauntlets. One of the two people on Zhao Gongzi's side used a serrated dagger, and the other held a double dagger in his back. However, the two big men on Yan Laohu's side all used triangular military bayonets.

The four of them are all first-class soldiers, and their strength and speed far exceed that of ordinary people, and as soon as they engage in battle, they are splashed with blood!

The brawler of the double dagger swung his sword like the wind, and instantly cut more than ten wounds on the opponent's body. But the big man only protected the vital point, and he actually hit it hard, and the military thorn stabbed into the opponent's heart, and the tip of the thorn came out of the back!

One-hit parry!

This is clearly in the style of the military. Qianye's heartbeat was a little faster, but it calmed down again.

Fortunately, on the other side, Zhao Gongzi's subordinate was a real master, and he took advantage of the gap in the opponent's brave attack, suddenly threw away the dagger, and broke the big man's arm with a grappling. Then he struck like the wind and strangled the opponent's limbs respectively, which broke the big man's neck bone and won back this game.

This man was actually a master of hand-to-hand combat, but instead of using a finger stab, he took a dagger into the ring, making the opponent misjudge, and even pounced on him to fight him in hand-to-hand combat, so he suffered such a big loss. It can be seen that Zhao Gongzi's subordinate is not only ruthless, but also cunning.

Yan Laohu and Zhao Gongzi both twitched the corners of their eyes. It's hard to find a warrior-level master, and it costs a lot of money to recruit each one. Now that one has died on both sides, it is naturally extremely painful.

Yan Laohu snorted and said, "The surname is Zhao, count yourself lucky! Now it's one to one, that's the virtual fighting to decide the winner!"

Zhao Gongzi's expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he said with a smile: "You know that I have a good hand here, and you dare to use virtual fighting with me to decide the winner?

Yan Laohu glanced at Qianye and said with a cruel smile: "Are you being my little hairy child? However, it's not just you who have a virtual fighting master! Instructor Liu, go teach that little hairy child a lesson!"

The plain-looking man stood up and walked to one end of the arena. His steps are steady, his movements are concise, and each step is at shoulder level, which is typical of the imperial army.

"Is it really a combat instructor in the army? I don't know which regiment Lu Dao belongs to the expeditionary force. Qianye thought silently. He took off his long coat and walked to the other end of the arena to stand on a round platform.

The two staff members activated the switch, and the huge instantaneous power demand caused the lights of the entire arena to suddenly dim before gradually returning to normal.

A curtain of turquoise light gradually rose from the round platform at the feet of Thousand Nights, enveloping him. When the light curtain was raised, a warrior composed of green light appeared in the arena at the same time. The man on the opposite side also stood on the round platform, and another virtual warrior appeared in the fighting arena.

This virtual fighting system is the product of the Empire's use of the Primal Drive technique. It captures the movements of the players on the round table in their entirety and synchronizes them to the virtual warriors. The virtual fighters on both sides of the fight have all the same data.

The virtual fighting system was originally designed to study some of the most lethal combat techniques. If this kind of combat skill is used in actual combat, once it hits, it will either kill or be injured, but there is no way to cut and study. In addition, because the data of the virtual warrior is completely identical, it can create an absolutely fair environment for both sides to hone their combat skills.

Virtual fighting systems have been around for more than 500 years, and countless martial arts masters have been trained for the Empire. By now, it had spread to every corner of the Terran territory, and even one was found in Blackstream, although it was only the most basic version. It is said that the truly advanced virtual fighting system can even simulate fights at the level of a fighter.

Because of the huge role of the virtual fighting system, the dark race paid a heavy price four hundred years ago, grabbed the original design of the system, and began to build its own virtual fighting system. Since then, the two sides have been on the same starting line again.

Qianye clenched his fist, and the virtual warriors in the field also clenched his fists at the same time. The two virtual fighters approach each other and throw a punch at each other. Qianye felt the amount of force fed back by the Force Force Field, and her heart sank slightly. The man on the other side also had a serious face and glanced at Qianye.

Fist fighting is a routine test before starting the virtual fighting system. Qianye gestured to the referee, signaling that everything was in order for the system to start.

The two virtual fighters begin to slowly spin in circles, as if they were actually fighting. Qianye was already familiar with the virtual fighting system when he was in the Red Scorpion Legion, and if the opponent was really an instructor of the Expeditionary Legion, even if it was a retired instructor, he would not lack experience in using it.

The two sides tested each other a few times, and suddenly moved at the same time, pounced on the opponent fiercely!

Instructor Liu's movements are simple and direct, wide open and closed, no matter punches and kicks, he goes straight to the point, and he wins with speed and strength, and there are very few tricks.

This is another style of fighting in the army, which seems simple, but if you really have to fight, you will find it extremely difficult to deal with. This Instructor Liu's style is as calm as a mountain, he has a lot of combat experience, and there are very few flaws between advance and retreat. Even if there is a slight flaw, the feedback delay in the virtual fighting system is enough to compensate, so it is difficult to exploit.

Most of the audience present knew some fighting skills, and some people began to see the taste and cheer loudly.

Serious attention to the battle began to be observed in the box.
