Before the life-and-death battle between the three kings, the three parties had sent envoys to discuss the details of the life-and-death battle in detail. The timing of the life-and-death battle was surprisingly unanimous. The three kings wished for it to begin as soon as possible, the sooner the better. Therefore, the life-and-death battle was set at noon the day after Shi Xiaobai sent the two letters.
As for the location of the life-and-death battle, the three envoys had an intense debate. Although the three kings did not think it mattered, the three envoys, as supporters of their kings, naturally wished to obtain the home advantage. However, no one could win the argument. Therefore, it was finally decided to be in the middle of the Silent Desolate Lands. It was a place close to the entrance of the Three Realms.
However, the most intense debate among the three envoys was not the details of the location, but … the number of spectators.
The location of the life-and-death battle was in the Silent Desolate Lands. Although it was vast and boundless, it was not a spectator arena. Furthermore, no one knew how wide the repercussions of the battle would be. Therefore, the life-and-death battle could not be opened to all citizens of the Three Realms.
There was a need to limit the number of spectators and distribute it equally across the Three Realms. This way, it could prevent any ambush by one of the parties.
However, the number of spectators could not be too many, nor could it be too few.
If there were too many, it could lead to the sinister situation of soldiers pretending to be spectators.
If there were too few, it would be a waste of the life-and-death battle that was destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Too many citizens wished to witness the splendor of the three kings.
The three envoys even specially conducted field visits for this. Finally, after some calculations and debate, the number of spectators was set at ten thousand for each side, totaling thirty thousand spectators.
This was already a huge scale of spectators. The Three Realms used an entire night to distribute the spectator qualifications.
When Shi Xiaobai learned of this matter, he immediately ordered for the spectator qualifications to be distributed randomly. It prevented corrupt officials from using it for profit, and also allowed poor Infernal commoners a chance to witness the life-and-death battle.
Of course, Shi Xiaobai directly used his authority to give Sunless and company the spectator qualifications.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, the Infernal Region's side quickly gathered the ten thousand spectators and set off for the Dead Silent Wasteland. Considering that many of the spectators were civilians who did not have the strength to truss a chicken, the group traveled on foot. It would take several hours to walk to the center of the Dead Silent Wasteland on the barren land.
Shi Xiaobai, Sunless, and company walked right in front of the procession. They completely ignored the procession that was accompanying them and walked very fast. Immediately, they opened up a distance from the Infernal domain audience. This was because their normal walking speed was faster than a normal jogging commoner. If they had to control their speed to match that of a normal commoner, it would be too uncomfortable.
They might as well head straight to the venue of the life-and-death battle to wait. The few of them were skilled and bold, so they were not worried that the Celestial domain or Transcendence would set up a massive ambush there.
As they proceeded forward, Sunless and the silver-haired girl very naturally leaned against Shi Xiaobai's two sides. Pulp Farmer and company very consciously leaned to the other side. The three of them were filled with mixed emotions. They could not help but feel envious and jealous of Shi Xiaobai's luck with women.
In these ten days, apart from meeting each other for lunch and dinner, they were busy with their own things. Other than Feng Yuanlin, who was immersed in the Arsenal, the rest of them were reading the books in the library.
There were opportunities hidden everywhere in the land of trials. Many of the books in the library were actually ordinary books, but there were some extremely rare manuals hidden among them. Those were the hidden rewards that the land of trials prepared for trial-takers. They needed to be discovered by themselves.
Sunless and company benefited greatly from 'panning' for gold in the library.
As for Shi Xiaobai, he was the weirdest. Other than eating, he spent the entire day in the Infernal King's bedroom. And similarly, the beautiful and enchanting Infernal Queen stayed in the bedroom with Shi Xiaobai. She did not even come out to eat.
Not only did this make one's imagination run wild, a man and a woman alone in a room with a peerless beauty for ten whole days, it was very normal for some shameful things to happen during this period. Even if some shameful things happened continuously, it was completely understandable.
Just the thought of cultivating one's desires in a forbidden room was thrilling.
As normal men, Pulp Farmer and company could not help but have such wild thoughts.
However, Sunless and the silver-haired girl were as pure as a piece of white paper. They did not have such thoughts at all. They were only puzzled as to why Shi Xiaobai was staying in the bedroom all this time. When Shi Xiaobai said that he had been playing chess with the Infernal Queen for ten days, the duo did not doubt his explanation.
This made Pulp Farmer and company feel terrible. They wanted to ridicule — "You are playing a very big game of chess", but thinking of Shi Xiaobai's terrifying strength, they obediently shut their mouths.
.....
Shi Xiaobai and company proceeded at a very fast speed. They arrived at the venue of the life-and-death battle two hours ahead of time. In the desolate land, there were dozens of spectators who had arrived before them.
However, these spectators came from the Celestial domain, so none of them recognized Shi Xiaobai's identity.
Shi Xiaobai and company randomly found a spot without anyone and rested by a boulder.
Liu Yu said, "I heard that Leonis died of a sudden illness and the Transcendents have a new king. It's said that the new king is even stronger than Leonis. It's really strange. When did the Transcendents have an existence stronger than Leonis? Too many fascinating things have happened on the seventh level. This Penniless Priest suspects that he has read fake information. "
Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "I hope it's real information. It's best if the new king is stronger. This King does not wish for the life-and-death battle between the three kings to be too boring."
Liu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, you are indeed very wise on the matter of the life-and-death battle between the three kings, but aren't you playing with fire? You can clearly remove the words' life-and-death ', so why are you taking such a risk? "
Shi Xiaobai chuckled in his heart. He could indeed remove the words' life-and-death '. The gimmick of the battle between the three kings was enough, but there was no other way. The Infernal King's mission was to kill the incumbent Celestial King, so the life-and-death battle was the best opportunity.
Pulp Farmer said in a deep voice, "There's a huge difference between a three-person free-for-all and a one-on-one battle. Shi Xiaobai, it's best you be careful. The strongest person might not be able to win because the two weaker parties can choose to join forces. Keeping a low profile and hiding your strength is beneficial without any harm."
Feng Yuanlin added, "Boss Shi Xiaobai, don't forget the exit command. This is only a trial and not a true life-and-death battle. What if, and I'm saying what if, what if the new Transcendent king shamelessly joins forces with the Celestial King, resulting in you not being their match? When that happens, you must not put up a brave front!"
Pulp Farmer and company gave advice out of concern for Shi Xiaobai's three strengths of being audacious, high-profile posturing, and never giving up.
Shi Xiaobai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His heart warmed slightly as he nodded gently, indicating that he had heard them. As for whether it went in one ear and out the other, it was unknown.
At this moment, Sunless' calm and gentle voice sounded from his left, "Be careful."
Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "Don't worry. The ones who should be careful are the other two."
His right sleeve was tugged as Shi Xiaobai turned his head. The silver-haired girl had raised the writing board in her hand.
"Brother Xiaobai, I heard that the war was instigated by the Celestial King. That Celestial King is too evil. It just so happens that the new Transcendent king hates him. Why don't you join forces with the new Transcendent king to kill that badass Celestial King? "
The silver-haired girl blinked her crystalline eyes, indicating that her suggestion was worth listening to.
Shi Xiaobai smiled. Although it was a three-person free-for-all, he did not plan on joining forces. However, killing the Celestial King was his primary goal.
The battle could be lost, but the Celestial King had to die.
That was Shi Xiaobai's thoughts at that moment.
At that moment, a familiar voice came from afar.
"Shi Xiaobai!"
Shi Xiaobai subconsciously turned his head and saw two figures slowly walking over from afar.
A girl with short brown hair was waving at him.
And beside the girl was an ordinary-looking youth who was walking over with a smile.
They were none other than Mu Yuesheng and Speechless.

(PS: Sorry, I'm stuck. It's very, very stuck. It's not that I'm stuck because I can't think of a plot. It's because I've already thought of the plot, but I don't know how to express it from the point of view. There's no other way about it. I'm stuck because I don't want to write randomly. I wish to express the plot in the best way possible. Now, the plot is slightly slow. I will try my best to speed it up and adjust my mental state. Everyone, please forgive me.)
