Meanwhile.

A certain luxurious lobby.

Melodious and light violin sound, people dressed as nobles raised their wine glasses, gathered or sat together, and talked in low voices.

During the conversation, words such as "Battle Royale" and "Death Game" could be vaguely heard.

From time to time, their gaze drifted to the same spot in the hall, sometimes with disdain, sarcasm, and even chagrin.

A huge screen over 20 meters long and wide was projected in that direction, and a map appeared on the screen.

On it, you can see the continuous routes that extend in all directions, like an underground ant hole.

In the outer areas around the map, there are close to 1,000 red dots flashing.

Some of the red dots flickered a few times before they suddenly went out.

Outside the big screen, there are countless small screens, each of which is a high-definition live broadcast screen, and even has an infrared night vision function, so that this group of viewers can see the situation of each contestant.

"Damn, I bought this guy for a lot of energy coins, and it's gone in less than 10 minutes!"

"Oh my God, this guy I recruited from the prison with my relationship has such a bad look in his eyes, and he fell to his death with one foot in the air!"

"You idiot should ask the prison if this guy is physically crippled!"

"F**k, of the 10 slaves that Lao Tzu bought, 7 actually died, and the rest are estimated to not be able to hold back!"

Obviously, although they dress up like nobles, their conversation and self-cultivation are far from reaching.

Among them, there are also many young people dressed in gorgeous clothes, who are clenching their fists to cheer for some people on the screen.

"My contestant, you should fight for me, whether Young Master Ben can awaken or not depends on you!"

"This time, the number of participants is 1,000, and it is estimated that less than one-tenth can reach the central area in the end, and as for reaching the Awakening Altar, the number of people should be even less!"

"I have very little mentality, and if I can reach the awakening area, it will be considered a success!"

", who doesn't want the contestants under their name to reach the awakening area, that's the awakening that concerns us!"

"I've been busy for 7 years, just for this time. If you lose the opportunity this time, you will have to wait another 7 years! The best transplant stage for my awakening is only this one. If it is not the turn of this time, then it will not be us next time, and I will definitely not give up! ”

"That's right, so why don't you go in by yourself? I'm here to show us the way, and I'll do it too? ”

"You!"

Many of these young people are competitors, cheering on their competitors while not forgetting to hit their opponents.

Because for their family, the "Awakening Day", which takes place every 7 years, is the most important day since they were born.

Once they obtain the awakening qualification, it means that they have become the true descendants of the family, and a large amount of resources in the territory will be tilted to them every year.

And once they lose their awakening qualifications, they can only become some high-level workers in the family, managing some unimportant industries in the territory, although they have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, but they lose the real fun of this world.

While these people were talking, many red dots disappeared on the big screen.

At the front of the screen in the luxurious hall sat the person with the highest status in the family.

At this moment, the principal was looking at the center of the screen, but the corner of his eye glanced at the young people around him from time to time.

When he saw the panicked expressions of these young people, and occasionally showed extreme chagrin, his eyes were full of contempt and mockery.

"Hmph, a bunch of rubbish, the family won't give you the qualifications to awaken these garbage. The only ones who can awaken are our orthodox bloodline, that is, the descendants of the awakened! ”

"Your fathers have lost their qualifications and become the senior wage earners of the family, so you can only be a wage earner for the rest of your life, and it is the right thing to recognize your future early!"

After saying that, his eyes looked to the left and right.

The person sitting around him is the one who will be 100% sure to be qualified for awakening this time.

The only difference between these people is that if there are a few people who pass the battle royale this time, then how many of them will be eligible for awakening.

"Uncle, this awakening seems to be more intense than your session and the previous one, is the number of people who passed later enough for us to all qualify for awakening?"

Among these young men, a noble girl asked the principal, "If there are not enough people, won't it be ......?"

As soon as she spoke, she could clearly feel that the air around her suddenly cooled.

The expressions of the people next to him were the same as the temperature, freezing cold.

Although these people are all brothers and sisters on the surface, it is a matter of awakening qualifications, and blood relations have to be sidelined.

Once the number of awakened people is not enough, there will inevitably be people among them who cannot be awakened, and no one wants to be that person themselves.

"Rest assured, each awakening will be intense at the beginning, but then the frequency of deaths will gradually level off!"

"After all, there are 1,000 participants, and the awakening place is so big, the probability of meeting others is very high at the beginning, and when the weak chickens on the periphery are finished, the rest of the people will be honest for a while......"

Hearing the principal say this, these young people all breathed a sigh of relief.

"But ......"

However, the next sentence of the principal made them not calm again!

"This trial is called Death Royale, you don't really think that just a few people together to fight is all there is to it, right?"

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"If only ordinary people participate in the trial, then why is the casualty rate so high each time, and why are there less than 10 people who can reach the Awakening Altar every time?"

"The best is yet to come, and when these mortals feel safe enough, this trial will show its true horror!"

When the principal said this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and even the smile on his face revealed gloom.

Like he said, the best is yet to come!

……

Battle Royale, game.

Lu Yuan finally met the death row prisoner codenamed 455.

It was a burly and stout man with bronzed skin, muscles bulging like pimples, and his prison uniform was bulging, looking like a professional wrestler.

After he saw Lu Yuan, his eyes flashed with cruelty and bloodthirst.

"Hey, hey, hey, the food appeared. Just when you're hungry and eat your flesh, you can replenish your physical strength! ”

"When I eat you, I will have the strength to break free from the chains under my feet, and then I will complete this game and cash out the freedom from the hands of those nobles!"

The condemned prisoner said, moving his feet bound by chains, and approached Lu Yuan step by step.

"Damn, he's going to eat me!"

"What kind of bullshit game is this, I had an encounter with a death row prisoner at the beginning, I really beeped the dog!"

Lu Yuan never expected that this guy in front of him was not only cruel, but also so cruel.

He's going to curse!

It's illegal to eat people!

No, this is not necessarily the original world, and the criminal law is estimated to be unable to restrain the other party.

In this way, Lu Yuan could only find a way to save himself.

The other party clearly wants to kill himself, he doesn't want to do it again, in case he doesn't cross it again!

At the moment of life and death, Lu Yuan's brain was running rapidly.

Linked to the previous analysis of Xiao Zhi's combat power, the condemned prisoner has 2 strength and 2.3 physique, and his value in both physique and strength is less than 1, obviously melee combat is extremely unfavorable to him.

He is superior to the opponent's stats, only the spirit of not knowing what to use, and the agility that is barely higher than the opponent's 0.3.

"Boy, die obediently!"

The condemned prisoner quickly approached Lu Yuan and raised a fist the size of a sandbag, which was to greet him directly.

After Lu Yuan felt the wind pressure in front of him, his body shrank on the spot, letting his fist fly past his side face.

His hands searched the ground for something, and his pupils jumped slightly.

When the opponent punched, his body was slightly affected, and he could barely maintain his balance.

Lu Yuan relied on the squatting posture, his legs suddenly exerted force, and the whole person jumped up.

He also learned from the other party's appearance, gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, and hit the condemned prisoner in the face with a blow.

"It hurts, my fingers are going to crack!"

The fist hit the condemned prisoner in the face, and as a result, there was a pain in his hand.

"Hahaha, it's soft, it's not strong at all!"

The opponent was also happy, and his hideous face was full of cruel sneers.

Lu Yuan then remembered that his strength was only 0.3, and it was estimated that his fists did not break the defense.

A big hand lifted Lu Yuan like a chicken.

Looking at the face of the condemned prisoner, Lu Yuan's face showed panic.

He was now face to face with a prisoner who had killed someone, and he was terrified.

"Hahaha, it looks like I'm going to kill you, it's easier than I thought!"

The condemned prisoners were very proud.

He didn't expect Lu Yuan to see that he didn't run, but chose to be tough and tough.

What is this not sending to death?

He was sure that Lu Yuan's thin arms and legs were impossible, so he deliberately exposed his flaws and took a hard punch.

The truth is really as he expected, Lu Yuan's strength is too weak, and hitting his body with a fist is no different from tickling.

"Now I'm going to think about what parts of you should I eat first?"

The thought of having blood to fill his stomach made saliva flow from the corners of his mouth.

"If you really want to eat me, then I also understand one thing!"

But at this moment, the panic on Lu Yuan's face disappeared, and it was replaced by calmness.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and someone seemed to have found a chance to win!

"You understand something, little ghost!"

"I understand, it's either you who kill me or I'm going to kill you!"

Lu Yuan didn't know where the strength came from, so he burst into a shout, his clenched left hand was released, and his right hand took over the thing hidden in his palm.

"Huh?"

Only then did the condemned prisoner see that Lu Yuan actually had a sharp stone hidden in his left hand.

In the next moment, I saw Lu Yuan's right hand slammed off, and the stone flew out.

This stone was infinitely enlarged in the line of sight of the condemned prisoner, so much so that he subconsciously shrank his neck, and his pupils contracted violently.

Laugh at!

The tip of the stone smashed into the condemned man's left eye like a bullet, and the pain hit his nerve in the skull.

Ahh

A scream pierced the silent space, and the condemned prisoner let go of his grip on Lu Yuan's hand, and then rolled on the ground in pain.

His left eye was bleeding, and fluid mixed with plasma was pouring out.

His left eye was ruined.

"Don't blame me, I'm also here to protect myself!"

Lu Yuan watched the death row prisoner suffer so much, but he knew that the danger had not been lifted.

Although severe pain can temporarily incapacitate the opponent, the loss of the left eye does not mean that the combat effectiveness is completely lost.

He picked up a large stone from his feet again, raised it with both hands, and then turned his head and closed his eyes in the pain of the condemned prisoner, and the stone came out of his hand.

Syllable!

The condemned prisoner's head was hit with a stone like a watermelon bursting.

The other man's tumbling motion stopped, and his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably.

In the next few seconds, the condemned prisoner's body twitched several times, and gradually lost his movement.

Lu Yuan knew that the other party should be dead.

It was as if he had unloaded all his strength, and he sat down completely, full of fear, and his heart welled up with infinite fear.

Then a strong feeling of dizziness rushed to the brain, and the chest felt nauseous, and I couldn't help retching.

He killed!

As a good young man in the new era, he actually killed a person!
