The Immortal God of War

Chapter 113 Arena

No one was shy about it. After all, no one wanted to buy a ticket and sit in a crowded auditorium, listening to the shouting of a group of men.

Taking advantage of their identities and relying on the two royal girls in the team, Liu Chi and others were seated directly in the VIP room.

After they were seated, the waiter who was in charge of entertaining everyone handed Karina a picture book.

"Dear Madam, here is the list of people scheduled to appear today. Please take a look. If you need any service, please touch the energy crystal ball next to the seat. I will leave first."

The male waiter backed out of the VIP room.

The VIP room is a separate raised room located above the ordinary audience seats, with a wide view and a panoramic view of the entire arena.

Karina casually flipped through the picture album and handed it to Liu Chi. After all, it was he who suggested coming here to play.

Catherine and Liu Xueer had already started "purchasing" in the self-service food area of ​​the VIP room. Their tables were piled with exquisite desserts. Influenced by them, Yang Xi also joined the team, and a plate of strawberry milkshake was placed in front of her.

He opened the picture album that Karina handed over. The first page mainly introduced the history of the Colosseum, the second page was the gameplay and betting rules, and the rest were the people and beasts that would appear in the Colosseum today.

Like Karina, Liu Chi flipped through a few pages casually and put the picture book on the table beside him. The most powerful character to appear today was just a swordsman, but Liu Chi didn't care about this. He came here mainly to learn how to fight.

Catherine picked up the picture book with a smile, flipped through a few pages, and locked onto her target.

The picture shows a half-body bald man, with black tattoos all over his waist and head. There are beasts, strange characters, and human figures, but the most eye-catching one is the tiger with its bloody mouth open on its chest. Although the man has no expression on his face, the artist's solid skills still make the man's coldness come out.

"This guy is so strong, I want to bet on him to win!!!" Catherine shouted, her eyes full of excitement.

Karina turned her head and glanced at the excited Catherine. Her fingertips flickered slightly, and a yellow electric current quickly attacked Catherine.

As if being slapped, Catherine looked at Karina fiercely.

"Sister, what are you going to do?"

"Don't place bets. There are insider information in the arena. If you play too much, you will lose more than you win. It's impossible to win money by betting on the outcome."

"Hmph!" Catherine was very unhappy. In her opinion, betting was just a way to support the contestants, and once the contestant won, he or she would also receive 5% of the betting victory bonus.

Don't underestimate this 5%. There are many players who can earn 100 diamond coins in a day.

"My dear sister, you must not develop this bad habit. Maybe you don't know that there is a country in the West that is of the same race as us. The queen loves gambling so much that she emptied the entire treasury. In the end, she stepped down, and the country's fortunes began to recover."

"Hmph, you are just stingy!" Catherine did not listen to Karina's words, as if they were wind in one ear and the other, and seemed a little impatient.

Liu Chi laughed, took the picture book from Catherine's hand, and saw the man on the paper.

"It's indeed OK. It can be considered as a great one among this group of people, but nothing can be predicted. Who knows the result?"

The album does not tell people the names of the contestants, but rather names them by numbers. The tattooed man is numbered fifteen, and his strength is that of a warrior, so he is also a chip that all the bettors in the field are very optimistic about.

Because it was break time when everyone arrived, there was no fighting in the arena. When Liu Chi and others were still chatting about the picture album in the VIP room, a female voice that was not very loud but just clear enough rang out.

"Welcome to all the new audience members. After a long wait, the next round of competition is about to begin. Both contestants are high-level warriors. Audience members can register their betting information using the energy crystals next to their seats."

The female voice paused for a moment, then continued in a cheerful voice, "The voting phase will begin after the contestants enter the venue. There will be a unique magic shielding barrier in the venue, and the audience can place their bets with confidence."

"All of our contestants are amateurs who volunteered to participate, and they will not intentionally lose the game to earn votes."

The female voice paused again, and the arena became silent. Liu Chi and others in the VIP room stared at the arena intently.

Two figures walked into the arena from the east and west entrances respectively, and one of them was wearing a mask.

At this time, the female voice sounded again through magic transmission.

"Please enter the venue, both contestants. Our magician team can start working!"

The silver pillar at the front of the audience spread out a translucent barrier in the air above the arena. As magic elements were continuously injected, the barrier became transparent.

"Okay, everyone here can see that our barrier has risen. Now everyone can choose their favorite contestants. Before our fight begins, the contestants will have five minutes to warm up."

The female voice stopped and said nothing more.

Liu Chi flipped through the picture book in his hand according to the contestant's number.

The two people in the field are indeed both high-level warriors. Apart from the description of their strength, the remaining information is basically the contestants' pre-battle declarations and interests and hobbies. If it were not stated that they are contestants, this picture book could completely serve as gossip about the contestants.

Five minutes passed in a flash, and as the female voice sounded, the match officially began. Liu Chi also fixed his eyes on the two of them.

The two men in the field simply gestured and drew their swords.

The arena is different from ordinary competitions. Here, even death can be counted as an accident caused by mistake, and the punishment can be reduced or even eliminated. Over time, the contestants form a tacit understanding and will not kill each other unless there is a deep hatred.

Having said that, there were also people who completely disregarded this rule. After all, those who came to participate in the fights were almost all desperate criminals fleeing from various places.

The fight between the two men in the arena lasted only a few seconds. As the head fell to the ground, the masked man raised his hands and began to walk out of the arena.

The audience erupted in cheers, and those who voted for the masked man stood up excitedly.

Liu Chi memorized the scene just now and kept replaying it in his mind. After slowing it down several times, Liu Chi saw the telomeres.

The masked man's attacks were always directed at the vital points, and before his opponent could react, after blocking several times, the masked man suddenly changed his attack method with an extremely strange movement - rotating his wrist almost 180 degrees from bottom to top and from left to right counterclockwise.

It was for this reason that the sword passed through the opponent's neck.

Seeing Liu Chi opened his eyes, Karina asked beside him, "What are you thinking about?"

"This masked man is probably a killer." Liu Chi came to this conclusion after his initial analysis.

"Oh?" Karina seemed to be thinking about something. For a killer, strength is not a must, but fighting skills are the main thing. The killers in the rumors are all those "rat people" who come and go without a trace.

"Then tell me, why would a killer come back to the arena? It's not realistic to do it for money, right?"

"That means there is someone on his order in today's fight." Liu Chi replied, "You can buy him later."

Karina frowned at Liu Chi, slapped him hard and said, "You are corrupting the children."

Liu Chi just responded with a smile. From the masked man, Liu Chi learned skills that had never been recorded in books. This kind of dirty tricks that were not worthy of being performed in public could only be seen among street thugs and people in special professions. To be frank, it was indeed useful.

Soon, everyone sat in the VIP room until the evening without realizing it. The strong contestants were usually scheduled to compete in the evening.

The night seems to have a unique charm that makes everything that happens seem so strange.

Everyone had a simple buffet dinner in the VIP room. During this time, the daytime games were basically over and the winners would move on to the next round. Given the uneven number of players, duels between players with a difference of one level often occurred, and such duels were often crazy.

The first match in the evening was a duel between a warrior and a swordsman, between a bald tattooed man and a muscular middle-aged man.

Not many people voted, the ratio was one to one, and no one in the audience knew the two people who appeared.

Soon the battle began. The bald man, who was a warrior, shook his arms, and two iron rings slid down from his arms to his wrists. He then took out a pair of soft iron gloves and put them on.

The Qi warrior has not cultivated fighting spirit, so he has no advantage when facing a swordsman with an advantage in weapon. Similarly, when a swordsman does not have an advantage in weapon quality, relying on his physical body to fight a Qi warrior head-on is undoubtedly seeking death.

Seeing the bald man showing his weapon, the middle-aged man also drew out his sword. The sword was shining like snow, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary sword.

The two men saluted each other and signaled with their eyes. Both sides understood each other's meaning and stopped there.

The bald man, as a warrior, launched his attack first. As the saying goes, an inch stronger is an inch longer, and he didn't want to be in a passive position and get beaten right from the start.

Faced with this sudden punch, the middle-aged man turned his sword sideways and blocked the bald man's punch. The sound of metal collision excited many of the audience in the front row. Several regulars who could not wait any longer stood directly on the stands of the auditorium.

The middle-aged man felt pain in his knuckles and gritted his teeth, taking a few steps back to relieve the brutal force.

After this attack, the middle-aged man was sure that he could not go head-on with the bald man in front of him. He had originally thought of trying it by relying on his strong body, but he didn't expect that he would become like a joke.

"Brother, don't be stunned. If we really have to fight, you have to show mercy!"

The bald man's words instantly brought the middle-aged man back to reality.
