Chapter 20: The Black Arena
On this day, everyone walked to a high ground, looked north, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was not an ordinary city. It's a towering mountain. As far as the eye can see, there is no end. It seems to be a giant beast crawling here. This is the imperial capital, Qingxuan City.
Compared to this majestic mountain, which cannot be seen, the surrounding castle is shaped like a miniature model.
Qingxuan City is called a city, but it is extremely huge. It can't even be described as huge. To be precise, the area of Qingxuan City is the size of a mansion. The walls were not the walls they are known for, but were surrounded by mountains. Such a handwriting, you don't need to think about it to know, it comes from the dragon man Qingxuan.
A city of this size is the first of its kind among the Terrans. Therefore, Qingxuan City is also known as the first city in the world.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, Xiao Che and his party went from seeing the city like a giant beast to the city gate, and it took nearly half a month for everyone to move forward with all their might.
When Xiao Che arrived at the gate of Qingxuan City, he was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. This is clearly the mountain range in front of you. In fact, it is the city wall of Qingxuan City.
If you want to enter Qingxuan City, you can only enter from some fixed nodes. There are army guards there. Each person who passes by has to scan their identity through a spirit weapon.
Xiao Che looked at these guards stationed and was surprised to find that the weakest of these guards all had soul realm cultivation.
If it is in a city with a population of one million like Black Rock City, it is absolutely reluctant to use a soul realm warrior as a guard. You can see how big the gap is.
The capital of the Qingxuan Emperor is worthy of its name.
When Hua Yu'er showed the battle card of the Huacheng team participating in the Imperial Youth Association to the guards, Xiao Che could clearly see that the guards' eyes showed a little respect.
It seems that this Imperial Youth Association has a special place in the hearts of the people of the Empire.
Xiao Che didn't know that there were many people in the Qingxuan Empire who were proud to be able to participate in the Imperial Youth Association. Those who can participate in the Imperial Youth can almost be said to be the best of the younger generation of the Empire. And the future of these people is bright.
It can be said that most of the strong people in the empire have participated in the imperial youth.
These young people who participated in the Imperial Youth Association must be the magnates of the Qingxuan Empire in the future. Even the worst can be a city lord.
What's more, Flower City is one of the top five cities in the entire empire. Huacheng's best YMCA result in the past was second, second only to the imperial capital Qingxuancheng. However, Huacheng has not been ranked second for many years. It's always hovering in three, four, or five. However, it has never dropped out of the top five.
Hua Yu'er is known as the first talent in Huacheng for thousands of years, and this time she was given high hopes by the elders of Huacheng, hoping that Hua Yu'er could lead everyone to sit in the second seat of Qingxuan. This is also the wish of the Hua family for many years. As for the first, it has always belonged to Qingxuan City and has never changed. Everyone in Qingxuan City who has participated in the Imperial Youth Association has grown into a strong man and left a great name in history.
Hua Cheng's greatest wish is to be the second seat of Qingxuan. To some extent, the second seat can be regarded as the first place in Qingxuan City.
After everyone entered the city, they were all extremely shocked, and the first feeling they felt was tall and big. In Qingxuan City, no matter what kind of building is very tall.
The inns in ordinary cities are only three or five floors, while the smallest inns in Qingxuan City have twenty floors.
Ordinary restaurants only have one or two floors, while the restaurants in Qingxuancheng are layered, and the smallest has seven floors.
Pressing the shock in their hearts, Hua Yu'er and they don't need to stay in the guest house. Huacheng also has its own industry in the imperial capital. Hua Yu'er found the person in charge of Huacheng in Qingxuan City.
The person in charge of Huacheng in the imperial capital is an old man surnamed Hua, who is obviously a member of the Hua family.
Seeing Hua Yu'er coming with everyone in Huacheng, the old man was also very happy, and smiled to entertain these young people who were about to compete for honor for Huacheng.
The old man is not good-looking, just like an ordinary old man, as if he has no trace of cultivation, but his eyes are extremely deep.
To be the person in charge of Huacheng in the imperial capital, the old man obviously can't be an ordinary person.
The reason why Xiao Che and they couldn't feel the old man's cultivation was that he could only say that the old man's cultivation was far above them. In the face of the powerhouses who are at least in the Venerable Realm, they are very enthusiastic about these young people, and Xiao Che and the others also have great respect for this old man.
There is still half a month before the Imperial YMCA, Xiao Che and they are young people after all, and when they first arrived in the first city in the world, they also went around with curiosity. Qingxuan City is so vast that it is unrealistic to walk. The city is divided into many areas, such as the commercial area, the auction area, the casino area, the martial arts area, the food area, the inn area and so on.
Every street in Qingxuan City has a space door that can be used to shuttle through space. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can reach any place in the city in an instant through the space gate. Depending on the location and importance of each place, the amount of spirit coins paid is also different.
Xiao Che and the others were all amazed by this strange spatial door. Strictly speaking, this spatial gate can be regarded as a spiritual weapon of spatial attributes. This special spatial spirit weapon does not have any attack power, and it also requires a specific spirit circle to work. These are all handwritings left by the dragon man Qingxuan.
It seems that Qingxuan has also put a lot of thought into this Qingxuan City. Xiao Che thought to himself.
Visiting Qingxuan City is naturally their own actions, Hua Yuer went to a girlfriend's house in the imperial capital, Zhang Qinghe and Wu Han naturally took their respective servants to play alone, Xu Zheng followed Li Yunfei, Xiao Che and Zi Wouji of course went together, but to Xiao Che's surprise, Dongfang Ye also chose himself and Zi Wouji's team.
After leaving the courtyard of the Hua family, the three of them didn't know where to go, or Xiao Che said that he wanted to go to the arena to see and see, and Zi Wuji and Dongfang Ye readily agreed.
After paying the spirit coin, the three of them were teleported to the arena through the space gate. For the three people who shuttled through the space door for the first time, it felt very strange. One second it was still near the Huajia Courtyard, and the next second, it was teleported to the arena. And the three of them didn't feel any discomfort, not even dizziness, just because the environment changed all of a sudden, and they were a little trance.
Such a strange space door also amazed the three of them. The power of space is really powerful.
This area is full of colorful arenas. And each arena is unusually huge. Xiao Che and the three of them didn't know what the difference was between these arenas. Soon, they saw about the arena and knew what the different colors of the arena meant.
These arenas are generally divided into red, green and purple.
Spectators in the red arena can place bets on one side to win, or they can participate in the competition and bet on themselves to win.
Spectators in the green arena can only watch and cannot place bets, but the bets can be decided by both sides.
The purple arena can place bets and can fight to the death. The two sides of the life-and-death battle must sign a life-and-death agreement before the battle, and the warriors who die here are not allowed to take revenge on the winner. It is also a place where the hatred of the warriors is legally resolved.
In addition, there is a very special kind of arena, which is the only and largest black arena.
The Black Arena is also the bloodiest and most brutal of all tournaments. Any form of competition can be played here, there are no rules. No rules means no fairness. The only rule is that you can't shoot at each other in the audience, and you can only go to the stage to make a shot. This avoids confusion.
The red and green arenas are generally for competitions with similar cultivation realms. The purple fight is slightly different in that if it is a life and death fight, there is no restriction on cultivation. Theoretically, in a life-and-death battle, the Spiritual Primal Realm can compete with the Hetian Realm. But in reality, of course, no one is so stupid.
The Black Arena does not have any cultivation restrictions. Theoretically, there is no problem in the competition between a Venerable Realm and a Spiritual Primal Realm. Even in a fight of the same realm, a group fight of 1 out of 10 can occur. Even if the audience suddenly shoots at the warriors on the stage, as long as they are on the stage, the competition will continue. These are all allowed here.
The spectators and the warriors on both sides of the competition can be said to be a group of crazy people who enter the black arena.
The reason why the Qingxuan Empire allows such a place to exist also makes the empire easier to manage to a certain extent. After all, there is such a place of legal violence, and it is also an outlet for many extremist people. Let it hurt the people relatively lightly. After all, no matter what era, no matter where you are, there will always be a group of extremists. Instead of letting them scatter around and cause trouble, give them a place to behave recklessly.
Seeing the introduction of the arena, Xiao Che and the three of them were also secretly convinced. This kind of management can be described as comprehensive. It's also easy to manage.
The three of them naturally chose to go to the black arena to see it.
Whether it is Dongfang Ye Zi Wuji or Xiao Che, don't look at the usual inconspicuous mountains and rivers, they look calm and peaceful, but they all have restless genes in their bones.
Many people sighed secretly when they saw the three of them going to the black arena at such a young age, these three young people looked like new chicks. I'm afraid I'll be scared out soon. It's not a place for anyone.
It is said that there used to be young people who had just debuted and wanted to go in and have a look. As a result, I was scared to death by the scene inside, and I was scared crazy. Since then, there has been a rule in the black arena that people under the age of eighteen are not allowed to enter.
Xiao Che and they look like they are around twenty years old, Xiao Che's face is gentle, and his smiling appearance makes many people trust, Zi Wuji is handsome, like a weak scholar, although Dongfang Ye looks more mature, but there is a clear appearance in his eyes, and he doesn't seem to have much of a worldly experience.
In general, many people on the road regard them as sons and daughters who have just left home.
Seeing that the three of them were not protected by family elders, they were very unoptimistic about them.
The eyes of passers-by, the three of them also saw it. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. Whether it was Xiao Che, Zi Wuji or Dongfang Ye, I don't know how many people died in their hands. In particular, Zi Wou-Ki, who seemed to be the most civil, could be said to be the most cruel and vicious of the three, although he only did so to the wicked.
Black is more than the arena needs to pay very few spirit coins, which makes Xiao Che and the three of them very surprised. Seeing that the three of them were new here, the guards of the arena also patiently explained to them. As long as it is a warrior who dies here, all the spirit coins on his body belong to the black arena. As for the spiritual weapon, the elixir can be taken by the victor. Only the spirit coins are left. Therefore, the black arena is only a symbolic charge for a small amount of spirit coins.
I don't know how many warriors die here every day, and not only humans, but also many demon beasts come here to compete for various reasons, and all the demon beasts who die here belong to the arena. And for humans, monsters are treasures. Over time, the profits from the black competition arena are naturally extremely rich.
Even though I heard and saw the introduction of the black arena, I didn't enter the arena yet. The three of them knew how cruel it was here.
As soon as you enter the arena, the entire arena is made of jet-black inkstone. And the interior was indeed illuminated by countless light attribute spirit stones. The lights are bright and bright.
It is not bright and atmospheric, but irritating madness and depression.
These came from the frantic crowd in the arena, and the severed arms and limbs and disgusting viscera and blood on the stage.
The arena will not be cleared until the corpses have accumulated to a certain extent.
The scene here was like hell, and the three of them were stunned. And the blood on the stage and the crazy cheers and shouts in the audience made Xiao Che's blood boil a little.
In such an environment, even the body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This feeling is not due to fear, but to environmental stimuli. It's like igniting the wildness that has been buried in the bones of the three for a long time. Let them involuntarily emerge a trace of madness.
However, this mood did not last long, and the three of them regained their clarity. Although the scene here is very exciting for the three of them, these three are not ordinary young people who are not familiar with the world. Although the scene is more cruel, bloody, and even disgusting than they have ever experienced. They were not too affected by their own volition.
This black arena is really terrifying.
It seems that the rumors they heard before that someone was scared crazy and scared to death were indeed true.
After Xiao Che and the three of them regained their clarity, they looked at the people in the field again, but they felt sad for them in their hearts. These crazy people, as if their consciousness is controlled. Martial artists need to have a strong dedication to martial arts. There must also be a tireless pursuit of martial arts. In a way, this is an extreme. But this extreme is on the premise of a clear heart.
In other words. Self is fundamental. And not like these people, venting for the sake of venting, for the sake of extremes and extremes. If the power is beyond one's control, then oneself will become a slave to the power. The same goes for emotions.
These people are clearly already slaves to this madness.
This previous experience also gave the three of them some understanding.
Looking at it, not everyone is like this, and there are many people in the audience who have not been affected by the environment. Not to mention cultivation, these people's hearts are strong enough to be like this.
Cultivation is not just about relying on talents, resources, but also about experience. The higher the realm of a martial artist's cultivation, the more attention is paid to the cultivation of the mind. Many people are stuck in a certain realm because their minds are not up to the mark.
Cultivation has reached an extremely high level, and when it breaks through, it will produce demons. And the inner demon is the nightmare of all warriors. It can even be said that most martial artists can't get past their demons. What's even more terrifying is that the further the martial arts cultivation goes, the more demons appear. Even every time the realm breaks through, the demons will appear.
At this time, the three of them had just experienced a spiritual baptism. This is a huge benefit for the three of them that they don't know at the moment.
