"I only hope that I can head to the Foreign Lands as soon as possible, and so long as I obtain the Resurrection Pill from the great treasure vault left behind by Emperor Wu of Samsara … I'll be able to help Xiong Quan repair his Dantian!"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
He'd always felt guilty towards Xiong Quan.
After all, it was because of him that Xiong Quan had his Dantian crippled and his cultivation crippled.
It was what he owed Xiong Quan.
"Roar!"
A loud roar pulled Duan Ling Tian's thoughts back to the present.
Duan Lingtian saw it.
In the Cage Battle Arena, after the strong fierce beast bit the human martial artist to death, it was ceaselessly roaring in demonstration.
"He's dead?"
Duan Lingtian frowned as he looked at the incomplete body of the human martial artist.
Seeming to have noticed Duan Lingtian's surprise, the nearby Luo Zhan explained. "Once one enters the Cage Battle Arena, no matter if it's a human or a beast, only one of them can survive in the end … Only when one of the two survives would the Cage Battle be considered to have ended."
"Only the victor can leave the cage!"
When he heard Luo Zhan.
Duan Lingtian frowned. "In this way, every battle in the Cage Battle Arena is a battle to the death?"
"You can say that."
Chen Shao Shuai nodded and said slowly, "To those with weak strengths, this place is hell … Because they can be killed by humans or beasts at any moment."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
So, this was the Cage Battle Arena.
A place filled with blood and slaughter.
Of course, to those that wanted to ceaselessly become stronger, this was undoubtedly the best touchstone.
A person that was able to survive in the Caged Battle Arena was surely an outstanding expert.
Once one stepped foot into the Cage Battle Arena, there was only a single choice.
Either live or die!
"I think that person that was killed by the fierce beast seems to be a slave?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"Yes."
Luo Zhan nodded. "Not everyone dares to enter the Cage Battle Arena every single time … So, when no one enters, the Cage Battle Arena will arrange for the slaves, fierce beasts, and demon beasts they keep to enter the Cage Battle Arena to kill each other!"
"As for the Cage Battle Arena, it will be the banker, open the gambling house, and profit from it."
Luo Zhan finished in one breath.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Are there any rules in the Cage Battle Arena?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
Chen Shao Shuai introduced. "Ordinarily speaking, the slaves or demon beasts that the Cage Battle Arena itself sends out to fight each other are all of equal strength … Whereas the people on the spectator stands can only step into the arena with a cultivation that is equal to the slaves, fierce beasts, or demon beasts, and only those with a cultivation that is equal to the slaves, fierce beasts, or demon beasts are able to step into the arena and battle with the slaves, fierce beasts, or demon beasts.
"Otherwise, if people with cultivations that far surpass the slaves, fierce beasts, and demon beasts in the Caged Battle Arena step into the Caged Battle Arena, then it would be a one-sided slaughter that would be completely meaningless … The Caged Battle Arena won't allow this to happen."
Chen Shao Shuai continued.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
This rule was excusable.
Otherwise, wouldn't the Cage Battle Arena suffer a huge loss?
"Besides that, once a person that dares to step into the Caged Battle Arena and has a cultivation that is similar to the slaves, fierce beasts, or demon beasts in the Caged Battle Arena wins, the person will be able to obtain generous rewards!"
Luo Zhan added. "The rewards are different according to people with different cultivations … For example, if a Void Prying Stage martial artist is able to kill a slave, fierce beast, or demon beast of the Caged Battle Arena with a cultivation of the same level, then the reward he obtains is far more generous than a Nascent Soul Stage martial artist!"
"Besides that, people that enter the Caged Battle Arena are not allowed to rely on any external forces … It's' any '!"
Chen Shao Shuai continued.
"Any?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised. "Could it be that even spirit weapons aren't allowed?"
"Yes."
Chen Shao Shuai nodded.
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be astounded.
"After all, it's impossible for the slaves in the Caged Battle Arena to utilize spirit weapons to deal with those fierce beasts and demon beasts of the same level … If that's the case, then it would be completely meaningless."
Chen Shao Shuai continued.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He was able to understand when he heard Chen Shao Shuai say this.
"What rewards are there usually?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
"The rewards are gold, silver, spirit weapons, medicinal pills, cultivation techniques, martial skills, and occasionally some rare materials and spirit fruits!"
As he finished speaking, Chen Shao Shuai's gaze burned slightly.
Spirit fruits?
Duan Lingtian's eyes were similarly filled with yearning when he heard this.
"Interesting."
Duan Lingtian grinned.
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian's group of three had arrived nearby the Caged Battle Arena.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian completely saw the entire Caged Battle Arena clearly.
This Caged Battle Arena was like a football field from his previous life, and it was extremely vast.
Whereas in this vast arena, numerous black iron rods that crossed each other formed an enormous iron cage, and it sealed everything within the arena within.
"This is … Thousand Year Dark Iron?"
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian recognized the material of this iron cage, and his pupils couldn't help but constrict.
Thousand Year Dark Iron!
Even a Void Prying Stage martial artist would find it difficult to forcefully break it open.
"This Caged Battle Arena is really rich and overbearing."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Hehe … Duan Lingtian, the background of this Caged Battle Arena isn't small, and it's an industry under the name of the brother of the current Emperor, Prince Sheng!"
Chen Shao Shuai explained to Duan Lingtian.
"Then it's no wonder."
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding.
"Eh, these seats …"
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian noticed that the spectating seats that were closest to the Caged Battle Arena actually had fewer people than the seats behind.
After a short moment, he found out the answer.
They'd just sat down when a middle aged man walked over with an expressionless face, and he stretched out his hand towards Duan Lingtian's group of three.
Duan Lingtian hadn't reacted to this.
Swish!
With a raise of his hand, the Sword Young Master withdrew three gold bills and passed them over to the middle aged man.
"30,000 gold?"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted.
He saw extremely clearly that the three gold bills Chen Shao Shuai passed over were all worth 10,000 gold.
"Because these seats that are close to the Caged Battle Arena are near the front, their field of vision is extremely good … So, a single seat is worth 10,000 gold."
Luo Zhan noticed Duan Lingtian's surprise and smiled as he explained.
"A single seat, 10,000 gold!"
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly.
Gold and silver were actually so cheap in the Caged Battle Arena of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
Just to watch a deathmatch, just the seating fee alone was already ten thousand gold taels...
10,000 gold was equivalent to 1,000,000 silver!
"Moreover, the people that sit in the front row have the privilege of having priority to enter the Caged Battle Arena."
Chen Shao Shuai added.
Right when Duan Lingtian's group of three sat down, the fierce beasts within the Caged Battle Arena had already left.
A slave with a cold expression and a brand branded on his face walked into the Caged Battle Arena under the lead of an old man.
"This slave is a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage slave … Is there any guest that wants to battle him?"
The old man soared into the sky and stood above the slave, and his voice contained Origin Energy that spread out far and wide. "So long as there's a guest that's able to kill him, the guest will be able to obtain the 500,000 gold reward of our Caged Battle Arena!"
500,000 gold!
Instantly, many people in the spectating area went into an uproar.
The temptation of 500,000 gold wasn't small.
"Duan Lingtian, if you were to enter the arena to battle a slave or demon beast with the same cultivation as you … Would you choose the slave or the demon beast?"
Luo Zhan asked Duan Lingtian.
"Demon beast!"
Duan Lingtian spoke without the slightest hesitation.
Luo Zhan looked at Chen Shao Shuai. "Sword Young Master, what about you?"
"I'm also a demon beast."
Chen Shao Shuai similarly didn't hesitate, and then he slowly said, "Although slaves don't use spirit weapons and are inferior to fierce beasts and demon beasts with the same cultivation … However, no matter how strong fierce beasts and demon beasts are, they're still only animals! Even if they possess intelligence, there's still quite a gap between them and humans. "
"So, normally speaking … Slaves possess a will to survive that far surpasses fierce beasts and demon beasts. They're usually able to erupt with unbelievable potential when they're on the verge of death and launch a counterattack!"
"I've seen too many similar scenes in the Caged Battle Arena. Between fierce beasts and slaves with the same cultivation, the latter is even more terrifying! "
As he finished speaking, Chen Shao Shuai sighed with emotion.
"My thoughts are the same as yours."
Luo Zhan smiled, and then he looked at Duan Lingtian and asked. "Duan Lingtian, you ought to be thinking like this as well, right?"
Under the gazes of Luo Zhan and Chen Shao Shuai, Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"No?"
Luo Zhan and Chen Shao Shuai couldn't help but be stunned.
"No."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then he sighed. "The reason I don't choose slaves isn't because they're able to bring forth great potential when they're on the verge of death … But it's because they're humans!"
Humans!
Just like him, she was a person of flesh and blood.
"Humans?"
Luo Zhan and Chen Shao Shuai went silent.
"Even though these slaves don't have human rights, they're humans after all … They're of the same kind as us!"
Duan Lingtian continued.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's gaze became slightly dazed.
He suddenly felt that …
Compared to his previous life, he'd really changed a lot.
In his previous life, there were many times when he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, and he was extremely ruthless.
But in this life, he'd changed.
Compared to his previous life, the current him was simply like a completely different person.
In his previous life, he killed decisively, regardless of right or wrong.
In this life, if it wasn't necessary, he would kill and not implicate innocent people.
Simply speaking, he'd become more humane.
This was a change in mentality.
Perhaps, even Duan Lingtian himself didn't know.
After he came to this world in this life, he was imperceptibly influenced and changed …
Whereas all these changes came from the people by his side.
In this life, he had parents, a fiancée, numerous brothers, friends …
He wasn't all alone like he was in his previous life.
"What a fellow of the same kind … I truly never imagined that there would be someone who bemoans the state of the universe and sympathizes with the fate of mankind that came to the Cage Battle Arena to watch the show. Truly laughable!"
An ear piercing voice entered into the ears of Duan Lingtian's group of three.
Subsequently, a young man in embroidered clothes sat near Duan Lingtian's group of three under the escort of an old man.
The words from before were precisely spoken by the young man in embroidered clothes.
"If you really bemoan the state of the universe and sympathize with the fate of mankind, then why have you come to watch the slaves kill each other? Hypocrite! "
The tone of the young man in embroidered clothes was extremely infuriating.
Duan Lingtian frowned and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the young man.
When they heard the ridicule of the young man in embroidered clothes, Lo Cheng and Chen Shao Shuai frowned.
