"Chris, what's the deal with that tall building opposite?"
Chris quickly gave an answer.
"Master, that's the arena of Sky Square City. It's a place for boxing matches."
"Arena?"
"That's right. According to the information, the arena is a way to earn points. By winning the battle in this way, you can also increase your star-rank."
"Oh! There's such a saying! "Lin Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Little Melon, let's go there and take a look. If we can participate in the arena, we might be able to break out of our current predicament."
Lin Zhen decided to give it a try. At present, the tricks of the White Tiger Hall had indeed stumped him. He couldn't just sit on the street and cultivate every day. That was simply unrealistic.
When he called Little Melon, the little fox hugged one of his arms with its four limbs and shook there. It was obviously protesting against the name and was determined to fight with Lin Zhen.
Ignoring Little Melon's cute performance, Lin Zhen took it straight to the arena.
The scene here was abnormally lively and crowded with people.
Watching the arena was an important leisure activity for the people of Sky Square City. When the people here weren't fighting with the endless races, they would pay attention to the boxing matches, buy, sell, and bet. Many people made a fortune here, but many more people lost their family fortune.
If the gladiator won, there would be a lot of prize money. Moreover, with every victory, they would be able to obtain points from the dimensional universe. With enough points, they could also increase their star-rank.
However, there were very few points here. Winning a match would only give one point. But in Lin Zhen's opinion, as long as he could win a hundred matches, he would be able to become a one-star warrior. At that time, all the restrictions on him would be ineffective. He could do whatever he wanted. No one could restrain him anymore.
Therefore, although there were a lot of people here, Lin Zhen still waited patiently in the queue. As long as he could participate in the boxing match, he had to win a hundred matches.

"Haha, Brother San Hu, look at who this person is."
At the top of the arena, there was a hall with a white tiger head symbol hanging in the middle of the dark rock floor.
This was the headquarters of the White Tiger Hall. The arena itself was the property of the White Tiger Hall, but Lin Zhen didn't know.
On the surveillance screen, a man was pointing at Lin Zhen and talking to San Hu.
"Oh! Isn't this the Lin Zhen we're looking for? This guy really came to the arena... "
"Hehe, Brother Sanhu is really smart. I knew that Lin Zhen would be stubborn and would not give in so easily. He told us to keep an eye out for this person who might come back to the Gladiator Arena, and he really did."
San Hua leaned on the sofa and said proudly, "This is easy to understand. I've checked Lin Zhen's information. This person is very famous in the Yuan Realm. He even won a Star of God's Punishment Competition. He is also from the Holy Land of Fallen Star Lake. He can be said to be a proud son of God. How can such a person surrender so easily?"
"However, our prohibition is also very useful. If he wants to survive in Heavenly Square City, he has to find a way. Nobody dares to hire him to do business. Therefore, he couldn't make any money at all. Finally, he has to come here to have a try. However, he doesn't know that this arena is also our property. If he comes here, he's just throwing himself into the trap."
His subordinate said, "Brother San Hu, is this Lin Zhen so important?"
"Humph! What do you know? This Lin Zhen's value is too great. This person is a Saint-level alchemist. He can also refine the Nine Transformation Golden Pill, which is a divine medicine that can resurrect a person in seven days. If everyone in White Tiger Hall is equipped with such a medicine, we will have an unparalleled advantage in the battle with the endless races, the competition for territory with the Three Heroes Guild and the Speed Dragon Riders! "
His subordinate's eyes lit up. "That's amazing. It means that our people will become immortal. Anyway, they can still come back to life after death. In this way, who can be our opponent?"
San Hu chuckled and nodded. "You understand, right? That's why we have to get our hands on this Lin Zhen no matter what. Since he came to the arena of his own accord, we'll make arrangements for him to stay here forever!"
"Don't worry, Brother San Hu. You have set up an inescapable net. How can I let him run away? Since he has come here, it's impossible for him to escape from our hands."
"Be careful. Don't let those people in the council find any clues about the contract. As long as we take down Lin Zhen, we can unify the three major gangs in Sky Square City. At that time, we may no longer have to look at the council's face."
"No problem. If he can make a mistake in this kind of thing, he must be a god, Lin Zhen!"
*****
It was finally Lin Zhen's turn in the queue.
"I want to participate in the arena's competition."
"Okay, let me introduce you first …"
"There seems to be a problem with my dimensional universe. I wonder if I can become a gladiator?"
The staff member checked the situation of Lin Zhen's dimensional universe and waved his hand indifferently. "It doesn't matter. Our arena is run by the government. Besides, it doesn't involve any business. With your dimensional universe, you can become a gladiator."
"That's great!" Lin Zhen waved his hand excitedly.
"Do you want to be an amateur gladiator or a professional gladiator?"
"What's the difference?"
Now that Lin Zhen's dimensional universe authority had been weakened, Lin Zhen knew very little about it. Lin Zhen had to ask about everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't know anything at all.
"Amateur gladiators will participate occasionally. After winning, you won't get any points but some bonuses. The degree of danger in participating in the arena is also relatively low."
"A professional gladiator is a permanent resident of our Gladiator Arena. If you win, you can get bonuses and points. You can sign a contract. For example, if you want to become a one-star gladiator, you have to sign a contract that states that you can only leave after winning 100 rounds. Before you win 100 rounds, you can't leave here."
Lin Zhen calculated for a while. Even if he left now, he had nowhere to go. He didn't even have a place to stay or a place to cultivate.
He might as well stay here patiently for a while and leave after winning 100 rounds. After becoming a one-star warrior, it would be convenient for him to do anything.
"What about the professional gladiators' opponents? What's the range? "
Lin Zhen had to ask clearly. He didn't want to meet a Divinity Change, Divinity Stone Transformation, or a demigod expert here. That was basically no different from asking for death.
"The opponents are random. There are also restrictions on the level of both parties. For example, you can tell us the level of the strongest person you want to meet in the battle in advance. We will limit your opponents to this range."
Lin Zhen was relieved when he heard this. "That's good. The limit of my opponents is the mid-stage Divinity Change. I won't participate if it's beyond this range."
"Okay, I'll draw up a contract for you now."
The staff moved quickly. A contract came out in a short while.
Lin Zhen took it and looked at it carefully.
The contract was very detailed. It said that Lin Zhen was willing to become a gladiator in the arena and obey the arena's arrangements. Before he obtained 100 points and became a one-star warrior, he was not allowed to leave the arena voluntarily.
The arena would be responsible for his food and accommodation. They would arrange opponents for him, and the limit was the mid-stage Divinity Change.
Lin Zhen paid special attention to the limit of his opponents. He had some confidence in defeating a mid-stage Divinity Change opponent. If it was any higher, Lin Zhen wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing that the limit was the mid-stage Divinity Change opponent, Lin Zhen was relieved. He picked up the pen and signed. The contract came into effect.
Before signing, the staff said, "This is equivalent to selling your body. You have to think carefully."
Lin Zhen smiled and said it was fine. He started to sign.
Little Melon poked its head out of Lin Zhen's arms and screamed at the staff.
"Hehe! What a smart little guy. " The staff wanted to touch Little Melon but was stopped by Lin Zhen. He didn't want Little Melon to bite him again. He didn't have the money to pay for it now.
After the signing was completed, the staff member took a look and immediately led Lin Zhen into the arena.
*****
On the top floor, San Hu said to his subordinates, "This fox is a little strange. A few days ago, Xiaojuan's hand was bitten by this guy. It really is smart."
"That's useless. The signing has been completed. Lin Zhen is officially a gladiator. He has no control over anything now."
Soon, Lin Zhen's contract was sent to San Hu.
San Hu took it and gently wiped it. The handwriting on the paper immediately changed a little.
The mid-stage Divinity Change had turned into the word 'realm'.
No matter how strong Lin Zhen is, he won't be a match for the Divinity Change. As long as we don't want him to win 100 battles, he will never be able to do it. By then, it will be too late for him to realize that something is wrong. He can only ask for help from Brother San Hu. When that time comes, he will have no choice but to listen to us. "
"That's right. There is no problem with the contract. Now, there is one more thing. Lin Zhen's room must be designed well. The sleeping potion must be prepared so that he can fall asleep immediately when he is free. He won't have any time to cultivate. This is the only way to completely cut off his hope."
"Understood. We are familiar with this kind of thing. We will not give Lin Zhen any chance to make a comeback. Also, we have surveillance. If Lin Zhen is alerted, we can take care of him at any time."
"Well, we can't do it openly. Otherwise, it will be troublesome. Remember, we want a Lin Zhen alive, not a dead Lin Zhen. A dead Lin Zhen has no value to us."
*****
Under the guidance of the staff, Lin Zhen arrived at a sealed room.
"Okay, this is where you live. This will be where you will live in the future. Before you become a one-star warrior, this will be your place of residence."
"When will I be arranged to participate in the battle?"
"Don't be impatient. It will be in one or two days. When you are going to participate in the battle, you will be notified in advance."
After the staff finished speaking, he left. The iron door was tightly shut. There was no way to leave.
