"Lord supervisor, everyone from the Law Enforcement Association, how should we deal with this false accusation according to the rules of the Heavenly Gates?" The person who spoke was Wang Zhong. The moment he spoke, the buzzing around him was completely silenced.
False accusation? Was this Earthling planning to cause trouble for Balor and Gorst?
Many people's first reaction was to laugh. He was a mere level-4 civilization. It was already not bad that they did not mess with him, but he still wanted to mess with others? Everyone more or less understood that the daughter definitely thought highly of Wang Zhong because of his elemental spirit. However, this did not mean that Wang Zhong could act cool. Potential needed time to grow. The more potential one had, the more low-profile one had to be.
However, it seemed that this truth did not apply to Wang Zhong.
The surroundings instantly quietened down. Many people turned to look at Balor and Gorst. Gorst still had a calm expression, but Balor's face had darkened. "Wang Zhong, don't be so ungrateful!"
Wang Zhong smiled. Before he could respond, the Titan supervisor had already said, "False accusation is a crime of the same level. Balor needs to pay a fine that is 10 times the price of the krypton gold necklace and publicly apologize in the Heavenly Gates. Then, he will be expelled …"
"Lord supervisor, we were misled and targeted the wrong person. We are also victims!" Balor loudly defended himself. "Before there is conclusive evidence to prove that this is a false accusation, this false accusation cannot be established!"
"I know, I know." The Titan supervisor looked as if he wished for the world to be in chaos. He laughed out loud and waved his hand. "That will depend on Wang Zhong."
"Before there is conclusive evidence, you still have another choice to vent your anger." The supervisor looked at Wang Zhong with extreme anticipation. "You can challenge Balor to the Life and Death Arena! You can beat him to death or cripple him. Do as you please! "
Looking at the excited expression on the Titan supervisor's face, he had probably been waiting for this moment for a long time. However, to the people around them who were waiting to watch the show, this kind of execution was somewhat frightening.
The law stipulated that the falsely accused could challenge the other party to the Life and Death Arena before there was conclusive evidence. This was simply nonsense as the falsely accused were usually weak. When faced with someone who dared to falsely accuse them, would they be afraid that the other party did not have the strength and methods to deal with them in the arena? Furthermore, this was a Foundational Stage from a level-4 civilization facing a genius Void Core from a level-8 civilization! Even though Wang Zhong had made a name for himself in the Combat Cultivation Hall recently, if he were to fight against the top experts in the Combat Cultivation Hall, no one would think highly of him.
This matter was probably going to be left unsettled. He did not know what the Titan supervisor was so excited about.
The whispers in the surroundings did not stop. On the other hand, Balor was rather expectant and looked at Wang Zhong with a burning gaze. As expected, the Earthling with a cramp in his brain did not disappoint him.
"Balor, the Life and Death Arena!" Wang Zhong said word by word.
Dignity was not something that could be obtained through begging, but through fighting. If they just let it go this time, the subsequent targeting would only be even more insidious. Furthermore, the impact of this matter was very great. Although the truth had been revealed, who knew what would happen when it spread? They had the right to speak, and this would make the situation of the Earthlings in the divine territory even worse. This was absolutely, absolutely not allowed to happen.
Anyone who dared to target Earthlings could only die!
Balor laughed. Although there were many twists and turns, this was simply the script of a dream!
Life and Death Arena? As long as they entered the Life and Death Arena of the Heavenly Gates, it was impossible for both of them to walk out alive!
"I admire your courage," Balor said. "I will give you a quick death!"
The buzzing sounds of discussion in the surroundings completely disappeared. Almost everyone's gossipy expressions changed. Some of them were moved, and some were even touched. No one mocked him. On the contrary, all of them were serious. No matter how stupid this Earthling was, in the Combat Cultivation Hall, anyone who dared to enter the Life and Death Arena was worthy of everyone's respect.
"Wang Zhong, Balor!" The Titan supervisor loudly announced. "Three days later, in the Battlefield, the Life and Death Arena!"
A Foundational Stage rookie from a level-4 civilization had taken the initiative to suggest entering the Life and Death Arena with a genius from the Blood Demon race, who was from a branch of a level-8 civilization. This was simply as mystical as a story. Wang Zhong's name was originally only somewhat famous in the Combat Cultivation Hall, and only a few people in the Pill Hall knew about him. But now, in just a short span of half a day, his name had spread throughout the entire Heavenly Gates.
He had a water elemental spirit messenger and had signed a contract with Balor to enter the Life and Death Arena three days later … Any one of these matters was enough to cause the pupils in the Heavenly Gates to raise their eyebrows. With these three matters added together, even some of the senior pupils and the Heavenly Gates supervisors were attracted to this Earthling.
Various gossips were also dug up, such as the dark history of the Earth being the Playground of the Gods, the fact that when the Earth civilization entered the Star Alliance, it was just a "side project" from the Mizobudapi civilization, and the fact that Wang Zhong had crushed many Void Cores in the Combat Cultivation Hall as a Foundational Stage.
However, there was one thing that everyone agreed on. This Earthling had definitely been framed. Regardless of whether he won or lost, his courage won him some respect.
There were heated discussions about Wang Zhong, a mere Foundational Stage, everywhere. The Earth was a mere level-4 civilization. Under normal circumstances, they would not be noticed by the experts in the Heavenly Gates. This time, they had gained a lot of attention.
"… The Life and Death Arena with Balor. Celeste … Elemental spirit?"
Shannali had received this news very late. Over the past few days, she had been in closed-door cultivation to complete the level-7 pill mission that Elder Yimo had given her. When she came out of her closed-door cultivation, various news about Wang Zhong had spread all over the Heavenly Gates.
She knew about Celeste when she had invited Wang Zhong to join the organization and was not surprised. In terms of combat power, she had seen him crush Yin Jiao in the Heavenly Treasures Street. She had also seen Wang Zhong attack twice in the Combat Cultivation Hall. Thus, she was not surprised that he dared to challenge Balor. However, an elemental spirit … What kind of joke was this? That Earthling?!
Shannali was dumbfounded.
Wang Zhong had something that she wanted. She had thought that this Earthling, who had not seen the world, would be very easy to deal with. However, she never expected that after entering the Heavenly Gates, Wang Zhong would be slightly "erratic". She had taken the initiative to express her goodwill to him but did not have any effect.
She had never seen such a low-leveled civilization, causing her to gradually lose her patience. She was the clearest about the situation in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Thus, she had sent people to cause trouble. However, the news that they brought back was that an elemental spirit had appeared in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Shannali did not believe this at all and simply thought that Wang Zhong was finding an excuse for failing his mission. Furthermore, she was busy refining pills and did not have the time to deal with this.
She did not expect that it was really him. Things were becoming more and more interesting.
"Young Master, should we use this information …" A hoarse voice sounded from the side. It was a black figure that was completely hidden in a cloak.
"No." Shannali pondered for a moment before shaking her head.
Shannali decided to endure it for now. As long as this little fellow was here, that thing would not be able to fly away. During this period of time, she had repeatedly expressed her goodwill, but Wang Zhong did not buy it. It was obvious that he was wary of her, but now was not the time to force him. Furthermore, the appearance of an elemental spirit made this little fellow more and more interesting. There were probably even more secrets that could be excavated from him.
"There's no rush. Let's wait and see." There was a smile on Shannali's face again. At that moment, her temperament was completely different from that of a smooth and slick socialite. She had the temperament of a domineering leader, as if everything was under her control. "Let him play with that group of people in the Heavenly Gates. Perhaps he will be able to obtain more useful information. There is no rush for our matter."
"Yes." The black figure in the cloak nodded slightly. Then, he pulled up his sleeve with his left hand and waved it slightly. His entire body disappeared into thin air, and there were no traces of spatial fluctuations around him at all. It was as if what had appeared just now was just a projection, but it was clearly a living person.
This fellow was obviously not someone from the Cloud Mist Faction. Furthermore, he was able to move freely in the Heavenly Gates in such a strange manner. His strength was even more unfathomable. He was definitely not someone that a level-6 Faction like the Cloud Mist Faction could possess. Even their Suzerain might not be able to do so.
However, Shannali did not care, as if she was already used to it. She did not even look at the black figure that had disappeared. When she opened the door, the domineering aura that made others respect her had already disappeared. What replaced it was a smile that made others feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
… …
The Heavenly Gates was a hodgepodge of places. Although it served as a platform to mediate the conflicts between various races, that was only in the general direction. There would always be various small conflicts below. It had nothing to do with the rise and fall of a race. It was purely a personal honor and disgrace. There were very few people like Wang Zhong who failed in framing others and went to the Life and Death Arena without any evidence. Most of them had some personal grudges.
The Life and Death Arena specialized in resolving conflicts like this, and no one would investigate the matter afterwards. This was a tradition of the Heavenly Gates and also a form of honor.
However, it was a standard for a civilization of the same level and strength. This was the foundation of honor.
A Void Core fighting a Foundational Stage, and a level-8 civilization fighting a level-4 civilization. Furthermore, it was the weaker party who had initiated this. This was the first time something like this had happened in the Heavenly Gates. People would always admire this spirit of fighting a strong opponent as the weak. However, to the stronger party, this was not honorable at all.
After spreading the news, there were not many people who mocked Wang Zhong. On the contrary, there were many people who mocked Balor. This made Balor feel slightly awkward. Back then, he only thought about killing Wang Zhong and did not carefully consider the impact this would have on his reputation. He had racked his brains to deal with a piece of trash from a low-leveled civilization. It did not matter if he used some methods, but if he failed, it would be embarrassing. Most importantly, he had been forced to fight in the Life and Death Arena. Even if he won, he would not have any face and would lose a lot of face.
The competition within the Blood Demon Race was cruel. Many members of the Blood Demon Race used this opportunity to spread rumors that were not beneficial to Balor, causing him to be at a disadvantage and extremely vexed.
In particular, some new rumors looked down on him because of this. They said that bone goblin Pavaro, Blood Demon Balor, and Ghost Gorst were known as the top three experts in the Combat Cultivation Hall, but that was just a title. In reality, these three were not the only true experts in the Combat Cultivation Hall. The overall standard of this batch of Combat Cultivation Hall students was rather high, and there were many unknown people like Wang Zhong who were hidden in the Combat Cultivation Hall.
There was no need to doubt their strength in the Combat Cultivation Hall. Even if there were hidden experts in the Combat Cultivation Hall, it would definitely not be a problem for them to be ranked in the top 10. However, they had been belittled because of a small Wang Zhong, and their limelight had been seriously stolen. If they could not win this battle cleanly, it would be hard to say what would happen to the other two, but Balor would definitely lose his reputation.
It was obvious that even though they had been scolded together, the pressure was completely focused on Balor. Even though Pavaro and Gorst had been belittled because of this, the two of them were rather composed and did not care about this matter.
Among the Three Great Halls, the Pill Refinery was the most "gentle". After all, there was basically no one who dared to fight with the Pill Refinery. Even if there was a conflict, it was an internal conflict among the Pill Refinery. They were all disciples from large powers and Factions. Naturally, there were more ways to resolve their conflicts. Meanwhile, the Weapon Refinery was in the middle. Occasionally, there would be conflicts, but they were relatively few.
Only the Combat Cultivation was the most powerful when they fought. Furthermore, the more they fought, the more intense they became. The Heavenly Gates had established the Combat Cultivation Hall to nurture a group of soldiers with astonishing combat power, and they were happy to encourage this. This was the rule and tradition of the Heavenly Gates.
On the other hand, there was no first place in literature, and there was no second place in martial arts. Perhaps it could be said that so-and-so and so-and-so were geniuses in pill refinery and equipment refinery, and they were evenly matched. But what about the Combat Cultivation Hall? Every batch of Combat Cultivation Halls had to be ranked. This ranking, which seemed to be a competition to determine who was stronger, was actually very far away. However, the Life and Death Arena would only appear after one or two years in the Combat Cultivation Hall. This time, the lessons had only started for slightly more than a month, which was rather surprising.
Many people felt that Balor had shot himself in the foot. There were simply no benefits for him in this matter. If he won, his reputation would be ruined. If he lost, he would die a tragic death. Furthermore, to Wang Zhong, everyone would pay the same price if he lost. However, if he won, he would obtain respect and replace Balor's position in the Combat Cultivation Hall! If a low-leveled civilization wanted to obtain respect, unless they were like the Shell race, where everyone had extremely powerful natural endowments in pill refinery, they had to rely on fighting! This was simply an opportunity that had been delivered to his doorstep. Even though it was very difficult, as long as he could win, the benefits were not small … The two of them had not even started fighting, but Balor had obviously lost in terms of intelligence …
In the mushroom house, Jhonas was sighing.
The Babi family was very rich, but there was a family that paid particular attention to harmony and wealth. Normally, they would not cause trouble, but if they caused trouble … they would definitely kill the other party and eliminate the source of the trouble. … Speaking of which, this had nothing to do with Jhonas, who was currently studying. He just wanted to happily enjoy his holiday. At the beginning, he was rather happy. Wang Zhong was easy to get along with and did not have much of an appetite. However, who would have thought that this fellow was simply a troublemaker?
"Boss, you are too rash. You should know when to stop. He already said to forget about it …"
