Although Bashui Commandery was only one of the 108 commanderies in Tianyan Province, its territory was still very vast.
In Bashui Commandery, Sword Marquis Mansion appeared to be the most powerful force and was recognized as the number one force. But in fact, there was another force in Bashui Commandery whose status was higher than Sword Marquis Mansion's. Because this force had always kept a low profile and did not participate in battles, Sword Marquis Mansion was the number one force in Bashui Commandery.
This transcendent force was the Gladiator Arena!
It was said that the Gladiator Arena was supported by the Imperial Family of Tianzong Dynasty. There were Gladiator Arenas in every province and commandery city of Tianzong Dynasty. It was a giant in the whole Tianzong Dynasty.
The Gladiator Arena was located in the center of Bashui Commandery.
A white-clothed figure with a long sword on his back and a mask on his face slowly walked into the Gladiator Arena.
"Your Excellency, what can the Gladiator Arena do for you?" A waiter was in charge of receiving him.
"I want to gamble on a fight," Jian Wushuang said.
"Gamble on a fight?" The waiter raised his eyebrows and was not surprised at all.
The Gladiator Arena operated a variety of events, among which gambling on the arena was a very common one.
"May I know your name and your Cultivation of Spiritual Power?" The waiter asked.
"My name is Nan. As for my Cultivation of Spiritual Power …" Jian Wushuang moved his wrist and a stream of Spiritual Power burst out.
"The Fourth Step of the Spirit Path?" The waiter smiled slightly. There were countless warriors monopolizing the Gladiator Arena. It was possible to see warriors at the Spiritual Sea Realm and even experts at the level of Jin Dan. The Fourth Step of the Spirit Path was too common.
"What does Mr. Nan want to gamble on?" The waiter continued to ask.
"This." Jian Wushuang took out the wooden box and opened it.
"Spirit-cultivating Elixir?" The waiter recognized the elixir in the wooden box at a glance. At first, he did not care, but soon his expression changed. "This is a First-class Spirit-cultivating Elixir?"
"Mr. Nan, let's talk somewhere else. Come with me." The waiter lowered his voice.
Jian Wushuang took back the wooden box and nodded. Then he followed the attendant to a secret room in the Gladiator Arena. After entering the secret room, the attendant left. The one in charge of receiving him was a black-robed deacon with a high position in the Gladiator Arena.
"Mr. Nan, our Gladiator Arena has been opened all over the Tianzong Dynasty. This rule has long been known to everyone. I think you are also clear about it." The Black-Robed Servant looked at Jian Wushuang.
"I understand. In the Life-and-Death Gambit, you are responsible for your own life and death."
"In that case, I will arrange a suitable opponent for you as soon as possible. As for the First-class Spirit-cultivating Pill, you must give it to me for safekeeping." The deacon looked at Jian Wushuang.
"Sure." Jian Wushuang already knew the rules of the Gladiator Arena. Without hesitation, he handed the First-class Spirit-cultivating Pill to the Black-Robed Servant. Then he asked, "I want to know how many First-class Spirit-cultivating Pills I can get if I win one round?"
"The gambling matches in the Gladiator Arena are usually one-to-one. If you win a match, you'll only get a First-class Spirit-cultivating Pill. Of course, as long as you're confident enough, you can choose to continue," the deacon said.
"One to one?" Jian Wushuang frowned and shook his head. "That's too slow. I don't have time to continue. Are there any special battles where I can get more First-class Spirit-cultivating Pills in one go?"
"Special battles? Yes." The Black-Robed Servant nodded with a smile. "If you want more First-class Spirit-cultivating Pills in one go, there is only one way, and that is to challenge someone at a higher level!"
"In my Gladiator Arena, the odds of winning a battle are ten to one. That is to say, as long as you can win one round, you can get ten Spirit-Cultivating Pills in one go. However, challenging someone of a higher level is not that easy. In my Gladiator Arena, ninety-nine percent of those who challenged someone of a higher level ended in failure. Most of them ended in death!"
"Challenging someone at a higher level?" Jian Wushuang's face darkened.
He was now at the Fourth Heaven of the Divine Path. If he wanted to challenge someone at a higher level, he would have to face a warrior at the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path. Moreover, he had to face a warrior at the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path who dared to come to the Gladiator Arena for a life-and-death battle.
"Although I am at the Fourth Heaven, the power of the Heavenly Creation Skill is far stronger than that of my peers. My Spiritual Power is comparable to that of a warrior at the Peak of the Fourth Step of the Spirit Path. Although there is a big gap between me and a warrior at the Fifth Step, I have a big advantage in martial arts techniques!"
Jian Wushuang had absolute confidence in his swordsmanship.
"My swordsmanship should be able to make up for the gap in Spiritual Power. Moreover, I have my own trump card!" Jian Wushuang's eyes lit up as he finally made up his mind.
"Well, I'll challenge someone at a higher level. Go and arrange it for me!"
…
A middle-aged man in a loose purple robe walked into the Gladiator Arena.
"Director!"
"Greetings, Director."
All the deacons who passed by bowed and saluted when they saw the newcomer. They were all very humble.
"Are there any exciting Life-and-Death Battles or Arena Battles in the Gladiator Arena?" the middle-aged man asked a Deacon.
"Your Excellency, you've come at the right time. A special Life-and-Death Battle is about to begin. One of them is at the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path, while the other is at the Fourth Step of the Spirit Path. It seems that he has just broken through." The Deacon replied.
"Oh? Challenge someone at a higher level? "The man in the purple robe raised his eyebrows and nodded. He seemed to be interested." Let me have a look. "
In the center of the huge Gladiator Arena stood a bluestone ring. A large number of spectators were sitting around the ring. They were all attracted by the challenge. The middle-aged man in a loose purple robe found a seat in the auditorium at random. He looked at the center where the bluestone ring stood.
A large number of spectators were sitting around the bluestone ring. The atmosphere was chaotic. When a dark-skinned man with messy hair stepped into the ring, the whole Gladiator Arena immediately burst into an uproar.
"Spear Devil!"
"Spear Devil!"
Countless people in the Gladiator Arena cheered and howled.
The dark-skinned man stood on the stage with a long spear in his hand. His eyes, which were as big as copper bells, scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, he grinned, like a wild beast revealing its white teeth, full of wildness.
Spear Devil was an expert who had recently risen in the Gladiator Arena. He was at the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path. He had fought two opponents at the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path in Life-and-Death Battles and killed them both. His methods were very violent. His spear technique was so strong that it was like a crazy demon when he used it. That was why he was called Spear Devil.
On the other side of the ring, Jian Wushuang stood calmly with a long sword on his back and a mask on his face. His exposed eyes stared at the opponent in front of him. This wild opponent in front of him gave him a lot of pressure.
Jian Wushuang looked quite serious.
He knew that the man in front of him had not only broken through to the Fifth Step of the Spirit Path, but he had also won two Life-and-Death Battles in this crazy Gladiator Arena. His strength must be even stronger.
If it was not necessary, Jian Wushuang did not want to fight with him, let alone fight to the death. But the fact was that he had no other choice.
After all, he did not have much time. In addition, he had a special identity and the Sword Marquis Mansion's swordsmanship was very easy to recognize. He could not fight one battle after another in this Gladiator Arena. He could only take a risk and challenge someone at a higher level. If he won, he would get enough First-class Spirit-cultivating Pills.
