Chapter 163: Turned into a Paper Person! The Aura Warrior! (Please Subscribe)
Sky Arena,
located in the Batogia Republic.
"There really is such a tall building?"
Standing before the main gate of the Sky Arena, Shizuku couldn't help but exclaim.
She had thought the Sky Arena's propaganda contained exaggerations.
Only after witnessing it with her own eyes did she realize the words were not false.
The Sky Arena has 251 floors and stands 991 meters tall.
This is merely the fourth tallest building in the world; three other buildings are taller than it.
The exterior of the Sky Arena is somewhat unique; it is a tower-shaped structure.
Yet it is not a straight line; occasionally one or two platform-like spaces protrude.
Those are the locations of the rings used for challenges.
The Sky Arena, as the name Gu Mingsiyi suggests, is a place for competition.
The Sky Arena bears titles such as "Sanctuary of Barbarians" and "Mecca of Fighting."
It can be said to be the best place for those who pursue combat.
Since matches are for viewing and include gambling, many tourists also visit.
It is said that over a billion spectators from around the world come every year.
Every day, more than four thousand challengers queue at the registration desk.
Therefore, Luo Ge and the other three must also queue if they wish to compete.
"So... why did you follow?" Luo Ge asked Bisuke beside him.
In his original plan, Bisuke was not included.
Bisuke waved her hand and smiled, saying, "It's just that I'm a bit short on cash."
"This is an opportunity even easier than picking up money; naturally, I cannot miss it."
Because Bisuke often spends huge sums buying gems, she frequently needs to earn some extra cash.
Just as Luo Ge and the other three were heading to the Sky Arena, she happened to follow to make a huge profit.
The Sky Arena not only provides opportunities for challenges but also operates a casino.
Before each fight, people can place bets and choose the side they favor.
As the Master of the three, Bisuke knows her disciples' strength all too well.
She can bet on Luo Ge and the other three winning all the way, making a huge profit; why not earn it if it's free?
After earning money, she can continue to buy more gems!
"Ho ho ho—"
Thinking of this, Bisuke's smile grew even more intense; her mouth split open as she sank completely into her gem-filled dream.
Luo Ge and the other three:...
Luo Ge shook his head, having grown accustomed to Bisuke's behavior.
Arriving at the counter,
Luo Ge took the information form, filled in his relevant details, and signed the life-and-death waiver.
Fighting in the Sky Arena requires filling out a life-and-death waiver.
If one dies in the ring, the authorities take no responsibility.
In a sense, the Sky Arena is merely a whitewashed underground bare-knuckle boxing arena.
It just wears the name "Sanctuary of Martial Artists," making it appear far more high-class.
The reality is that almost everyone who comes here pursues fame and fortune.
Only a very few come to improve their abilities and constantly challenge the strong. 123
After simply filling out the registration form and life-and-death waiver, Luo Ge and the other three were arranged to wait in the waiting room.
The Sky Arena has a huge number of challengers every day; naturally, the numbers cannot continue indefinitely.
Therefore, the numbers are refreshed daily here, distributed according to the registration order of the day.
Luo Ge is number 666, Machi is 667, and Shizuku is 668.
Inside the waiting room,
This is merely the lowest-level waiting room; anyone who registers can enter, with no threshold.
So Luo Ge simply glanced around and found no one worth noting.
They were all ordinary people with some strength.
However...
It seems someone cannot gauge their own strength and is being overly arrogant.
A burly man sat in the corner.
The burly man was significantly taller than the others; his broad white cultivation practice robe could not conceal the solid, bulging muscles beneath.
With a crew cut and a hideous face covered in jowls, a pair of sinister triangular eyes stared at Luo Ge, full of contempt.
Seeing Luo Ge look over, the burly man extended his right thumb and slowly turned it downward, making a gesture of disdain.
In his eyes, Luo Ge, with his well-proportioned build, possessed no strength at all, yet such a person had two beauties accompanying him.
This made him, whose face was terrifyingly ugly, feel extremely jealous.
He believed that only a burly man strong and powerful like himself should be favored by beauties.
Luo Ge watched the burly man with cold eyes.
Before anyone could react, the broadcast in the waiting room suddenly blared.
"Contestant 666 and contestant 581, please proceed to Challenge Platform Three."
"Repeating, contestant 666..."
Upon hearing this, the burly man rose directly, but seeing the "pale-faced" Luo Ge stand up as well, his expression brightened with joy.
Immediately, a cruel smile spread across his face.
He would make this young man thoroughly understand the dangers of the challenge platform!
Luo Ge paid him no mind, his cold face showing no change.
After all, no one speaks much to a dead man.
"Everyone, next to appear are contestant 666 and contestant 581."
"Let us look forward to their performance!"
The host possessed high professional standards; even when introducing the lowest-tier challenges, he never lacked enthusiasm.
The audience here was smaller in number compared to the higher tiers, because battles in the higher tiers were more spectacular.
Accompanied by sparse applause, two figures emerged simultaneously from the passages on either side.
On the left was the burly man; many spectators' first sight of him brought a look of delight.
Such a muscular challenger was relatively rare in the lowest tier of the Sky Arena.
There was great hope he would fight his way to the higher tiers and become a new star.
The audience watching challenges in the lowest tier generally fell into a few categories.
