Chapter 19: The Arena

"Recently, the activities of the White Tiger have decreased a lot, and you have been practicing here for so many days, have you considered participating in the actual battle?" Li Jie woke up leisurely, he yawned, looked at Cao Rui who was training hard next to him and said.

Cao Rui has been practicing boxing during this time, although there is no one to guide him, but it can be regarded as self-taught. A few simple movements, just a combination of each other. When he heard Li Jie's words, he was first curious, then turned his head and said.

"Senior, what do you mean by this, I know that I still don't have enough strength now, and I can't cooperate with you to kill the one-eyed white tiger. But if there are other ways for me to soar in strength in a short period of time, I may be able to give it a try. ”

"That's the case, it's useless for you to practice here alone, and I can't be your training opponent, so I'll find you an underground arena."

Underground arena?

Cao Rui had never heard such a name, but in a literal sense, he seemed to understand a little.

"It's not very good there, I don't really want to go."

"Then you can participate in the test of the Izumo Sect held later, don't you still have the status of an unofficial disciple of the Izumo Sect? From these two paths, you can choose. Li Jie gave Cao Rui his advice very simply, after all, it should be the case at the moment.

Cao Rui looked at his fists at this time and slowly clenched: "I don't really want to go to Izumo Sect, because I know I can't beat it either." But that underground arena, I feel like it's going to be a little dangerous. ”

Li Jie stepped forward and patted Cao Rui on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to worry about these problems at all, in that underground arena, everyone will use some code names to compete." The winner can get some rewards, money is the main thing, and other things are secondary.

When the time comes, you put on a mask and replace your name with a number, and no one will recognize you. Although it is called an underground fighting arena, people from the Izumo sect occasionally come there to exercise.

And the danger you're worried about shouldn't happen here, it's just a place to play in order to satisfy some people's fetishes.

Beginners like you also have corresponding opponents, think about it. ”

When Cao Rui heard such a description, he thought about it again and then nodded slowly: "Senior, I think it's okay, in short, I will definitely avenge the revenge of the White Tiger." However, I also recognize the reality, and this matter really cannot be rushed.

In that case, let's set off right away. ”

Li Jie immediately had a smile on his face, and then led Cao Rui out of the depths of the forest, and they bypassed the White Tiger's patrol range, interspersed through the gaps, and then came to a nearby town.

According to the route of the map, if they hadn't stayed in the small village for so long, the Cao Rui siblings might have continued to walk along the original route, and their next stop would be this town.

The town is small, but there are quite a few nearby villages, and it is only natural that it has become a center of trading and commerce.

What Cao Rui didn't expect was that this place, known as the underground arena, actually had a fair and honest ground building. And quite a lot of the playing fields are set up in the open air.

Li Jie explained at this time: "It is claimed to be called the Fighting Arena here, but the main reason why people call him the Underground Arena is because there are a large number of players who will be eliminated in the underground preliminaries, so this is how the name is derived."

The location of this town is more critical, he is in the northeast corner of the Izumo Sect area, and if he continues to walk along the road of the town, he will basically reach the core area of the Tianyun Sect, and the mountain in the distance is the Okimayama Mountain.

That's the station of the Izumo sect, it's cloudy today and you can't see it, and when the weather is good, you can directly see the pavilion on the top of the mountain from this location. ”

Cao Rui followed the direction pointed by Li Jie, and looked up to see that there were indeed some outlines of mountains faintly.

Li Jie then continued: "After that, I will collect the number plate for you, and then you will use the name on the number plate as your code name to see how far you can go."

If you can make it to the main event in a place like this, then maybe I can officially think about how to kill the One-Eyed Tiger.

After all, in my original plan, I really needed a helper, I originally wanted to find someone with the same strength as me, but they didn't seem to be interested in this kind of bounty, and it just so happened that you had the same idea, so I had to find a way to cooperate with you. ”

Li Jie seemed to have been to these places before, and was quite familiar with the guards at the door, and when he walked in, a beautiful waitress inside even greeted him warmly.

"My partner has come to challenge you here, he is only more than twelve years old, almost thirteen years old, anyway, it is a beginner's field, just arrange for him."

"It's really different to be your partner, come on, this is the number plate 1723. Then the player's information will be logged in, just pay attention to the progress of the game, there are fewer people recently, and there should be a chance to play today. ”

"Thank you, let's get back to it."

Li Jie took a metal sign and put it on Cao Rui's body, and Cao Rui at this moment had already put on a mask before entering. And Li Jie seems to be a regular customer here, so he shows his true face.

"That's all I can do for you, hold the number plate, they don't recognize people, they only recognize the number plate, you pay attention to the progress of the game, or you can also go and watch other people fight, in short, just learn a lot.

There is another thing that I don't know if your teacher has told you, that is, cultivators will realize one problem in their future cultivation, that is, some of the things they have learned in the past, including those things that they have trained tirelessly, may not be of great use in the future. Even if it doesn't work, but this does not affect the improvement of your strength, and you need to explore a path that suits you when you reach a stage, and others can't guide you. After all, how to build your own small world needs to be decided by yourself, and others are just providing experience

So you have to work hard, of course I'm still saying those words, I'm not in a hurry about killing the White Tiger, because I still have the task of intelligence not completed, and I will give priority to such things.

It's never too late to wait until you have the strength to do it. ”

When Cao Rui heard this, he naturally felt some pressure, and he lowered his head as if he was affirming.

"I see, I'll see you later."

Cao Rui had completely abandoned the sword at this time, and was ready to use his fists in the battle later, at this time he paid attention to the progress of the game and found that there was still some time before he competed. So he familiarized himself with the rules and precautions of the game in advance, and finally began to watch the game.

In order to make it out of the qualifiers, you need to win at least nine or all of your matches after 10 battles to enter the main draw, otherwise you have to start from scratch.

Although this place is divided into many grades because of its age and strength, it seems that the rules here are not very strict.

The definition of beginners is also very vague, and even fifteen or sixteen-year-old people can be regarded as beginners, and their realm strength has actually reached Xiaochengdongtian.

The strength of Cao Rui's first opponent is a person who has become a small cave, although this information can be seen clearly on it, but he only has the strength to enter the cave, and he also let the opponent know.

Although Cao Rui has long learned to be independent, he is still a little uncomfortable in the face of this kind of scene, especially when the whole atmosphere is quite depressing.

Li Jie first walked around the inside of the arena a few times at this time, as if he was looking for someone, and after a few turns to no avail, he came to the front desk to ask about something, and then walked towards the basement with a key.

Entering the basement did not face the playing field in front of you, but turned a corner and entered a room.

At this moment, there were seven people in the room waiting for him, each of them doing their own thing, but when they saw someone open the door and enter, they immediately put down their work and got up to greet him.

"Isn't this Brother Jie, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you still miss me."

"Brother Wang Kai, hello. I didn't expect to meet you in such a place, so I guess I was attracted to my baby. After giving you such a long time to observe, have you come to any conclusions? And what are the origins of these people next to here? I've never seen it before, and you'll have to introduce it to me. ”

Li Jie originally thought that there were only one or two people in the room, but he didn't expect that there were seven people, and many of them were unknown to him, which made this old fox feel a little wrong.

Wang Kai is quite handsome, but his actual age is much older than Li Jie, and his appearance is much younger than him, and it is said that he used some drugs to beautify his face. I saw him smile slightly, and then stretched out his hand and said.

"These people are indeed admired, although the black market in each region is relatively independent, but once there is a good thing, there is still a possibility of circulation.

The two were from the Kanster Peninsula, the white-bearded man was Cornlock, and behind it was his student.

The others are all from our Izumo sect region, and they come from other places, so it's normal that you haven't seen them. ”

Cornlock first bowed and saluted, then stood up and said, "Sir, it's likely that what you're bringing is from our Kanster Peninsula.

The Izumo region and the Kanster Peninsula are basically connected, so I suspect that it was a treasure brought out by the fleeing people after the destruction of the former Guterre Kingdom.

So I'm going to take it back, and no matter how high the price is, I'll accept it. ”

The opening scene is Wang Bang, Li Jie has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard such words, which makes him a little ecstatic.

"This is true, and other treasure connoisseurs have a complaint."

At this time, a person next to him stood up and said, "I think it's very likely, at least on the Kanster Peninsula, there is something very strange about it, and it has something to do with the history of the past.

Although the overall area is relatively remote, it belongs to the northeast region where the aura is relatively thin, whether it is the Izumo sect area or the Kanster Peninsula, in fact, only the Okuten Mountain and the White Tiger Mountain Range are rich in aura.

And the nature of the aura in these two regions, I believe everyone has already figured it out, and this object actually does not have any of the same aura above, which proves that it should not come from here, and it should be somewhat the same as the strange and strange of the Kanst Peninsula. ”
