(Second Update!)

"I've just arrived in the Northern Darkstar Continent and the first step is to find a way to establish myself. Then, I'll find a way to obtain more Primordial Stones to improve my cultivation level and strength. I'll only think of a way to deal with the Territorial Lord when I have absolute confidence." Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang asked, "Tiexin, since you're so familiar with the Northern Darkstar Continent, do you know how I can get a large number of Primordial Stones in a short time?"
"The fastest way to get Primordial Stones is to become a Territorial Lord. Mr. Sword One, you have great potential, but there's still a gap between you and the Territorial Lord," said Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang rolled his eyes at Xiao Tiexin, indicating that she was talking nonsense.
"In addition to becoming a Territorial Lord, you can also go and find trouble with those clans in the Northern Darkstar Continent. Even the weakest small clans have a lot of wealth, but as I've said before, those small clans have a lot of power and connections. It won't be easy for you to destroy those clans one by one and seize their accumulated Primordial Stones like you did in the Dark Thunder Territory," said Xiao Tiexin.
Jian Wushuang shrugged.
He did not have the strength to go against those clans for the time being. Even if he did, he would not destroy those clans for some Primordial Stones for no reason.
After all, those clans were different from the Eighteen Prefectures in the Dark Thunder Territory. The Eighteen Prefectures were bandits who committed murder and robbery. Jian Wushuang would not feel guilty if he killed them.
"If those clans can't do it, Mr. Sword One, there's only one way for you to get a large number of Primordial Stones in a short time — a gambling match in the gladiatorial arena!" Xiao Tiexin said solemnly, "I know that there's a very large arena in the Northern Darkstar Continent. It's the property of the Shi family, one of the top three families. In that arena, both parties can bet on the battle. Moreover, there's a special way to bet on the battle, which is … to challenge the Blood Gladiators!"
"Blood Gladiator Challenge? What's that?" Jian Wushuang asked curiously.
Xiao Tiexin smiled and explained, "Mr. Jian Yi, you should know that there's a limit to the wager in the Gladiatorial Arena. It's the same for the Shi clan's Gladiatorial Arena. The wager limit is one thousand Primordial Stones at most. In other words, if you want to win ten thousand Primordial Stones in one go, you'll have to fight ten consecutive battles. Moreover, if the Gladiatorial Arena sees that you're too strong and there's almost no suspense, they'll even lower the odds. It'll be more troublesome for you to win ten thousand Primordial Stones."
"However, it's completely different if you want to challenge a Blood Gladiator as the gambling limit is five thousand Primordial Stones and the stakes can be accumulated continuously. For example, if you take five thousand Primordial Stones in a gambling match and win one, you'll get ten thousand Primordial Stones in the next match and twenty thousand Primordial Stones if you win the next match and so on. This is the only way to win a large number of Primordial Stones in one go."
"However, there's also a rule when you challenge a Blood Gladiator. You must go through five consecutive matches before you can stop. The gladiatorial arena will also arrange your opponents. Of course, they won't be too outrageous and must be at the same level as you. For example, Mr. Sword One, if you challenge a Blood Gladiator, your five opponents will definitely be Primary-Level Ultimate Gods who are at the same level as you. There won't be any High-Level Ultimate Gods."
"I see." Jian Wushuang had already understood.
The gambling limit for a Blood Gladiator challenge could be as high as five thousand Primordial Stones and the stakes could be stacked continuously. However, one must complete five matches before leaving. If one lost one of those five matches, not only would the bet be gone but one's life would also be in doubt.
"I'm afraid the gladiatorial arena will arrange opponents for you based on the strength you've shown in the five matches. In order to prevent you from successfully leaving with the Primordial Stones you've won, they'll definitely find ways to send some very powerful same-level experts to defeat you. Therefore, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to win all five matches," said Jian Wushuang.
"Indeed. Not everyone can challenge the Blood Gladiators as they wish. Not everyone can survive five rounds of gambling matches either. The arena won't let you take away your winnings so easily, so many people have tried to challenge the Blood Gladiators. However, most of them can only survive two to three rounds of gambling matches before losing their lives in the end," said Xiao Tiexin.
"Of course, the risk is high, but so are the rewards. In history, many people have succeeded in challenging a Blood Gladiator and won a large number of Primordial Stones as well as fame. As far as I know, there's a Peak Ultimate God commander in the Territorial Lord's Official Army who once successfully challenged a Blood Gladiator in the gladiatorial arena.
"Mr. Jian Yi, you're an out-and-out super genius. You're only a Primary-Level Ultimate God, but you can easily kill a High-Level Ultimate God and even retreat safely when facing a Peak Ultimate God. If you go to the Gladiator Arena to challenge the Blood Gladiators, the five gambled battles won't be a problem for you. As for the Primordial Stones … If you bet 5,000 Primordial Stones at the beginning and win all five gambled battles, you'll be able to take away 160,000 Primordial Stones from the Gladiator Arena in one go!"
Jian Wushuang was a little tempted after hearing that.
He had reached the peak of First-Class Divine Demon and only needed twenty to thirty thousand Primordial Stones to make a breakthrough to Peak Divine Demon. However, he would need even more Primordial Stones to continue his breakthrough to Ultimate God after becoming a Peak Divine Demon.
One hundred and sixty thousand Primordial Stones was definitely not a small number for Jian Wushuang.
As for the Blood Gladiator challenge, it might be very dangerous and difficult for others, but it was nothing for Jian Wushuang.
"Tiexin, I've used up all the Primordial Stones I got from Dark Thunder Territory. You still have six thousand Primordial Stones, so take five thousand from me first. I'll pay you double after I'm done with the Blood Gladiator challenge," said Jian Wushuang with a smile.
"No problem." Xiao Tiexin agreed without hesitation.
"In that case, lead the way." Jian Wushuang smiled.
Jian Wushuang soon went to the Shi Clan's huge gladiatorial arena under Xiao Tiexin's lead.
…
The gladiatorial arena was extremely noisy.
Countless figures were seated in the spectator stands. There were probably no less than hundreds of thousands of people. Many of these people were shouting and roaring hysterically.
Their voices were deafening.
At the center of the gladiatorial arena was a huge battlefield.
