Dark Demon Planet! Sublime Demon Island! Life and Death Arena!
Normally, very few people would come to the Life and Death Arena. Only some of the family's enemies would come here for a duel. Duels in the Life and Death Arena would result in either death or injury. Therefore, unless it was a great feud, most people wouldn't come to the Life and Death Arena for a duel.
The Life and Death Ring was a huge metal platform that was a hundred meters long and wide. There was a pillar at each of the four corners, and the pillars could be equipped with crystals. The pillars covered the entire Life and Death Ring so that the energy inside wouldn't fly outside and hurt the spectators.
There were nearly 30,000 seats around the Life and Death Arena. The north side was for VIPs. Generally, those who sat at the back were people with status. The other three sides were for commoners. Anyone could sit there and watch the duel.
Normally, unless there was a duel, very few people would come to the Life and Death Arena. This was because the murderous aura here was too heavy. No one liked it.
Sublime Demon Island was very large. The Life and Death Arena was only a corner of the island. To be exact, the Life and Death Arena couldn't be considered on the island. It was on a huge reef outside the island. It was just that it was very close to Sublime Demon Island and was connected by a bridge. Therefore, it was considered a part of the island.
Today, the Stage of Life and Death, which was usually very quiet, was very lively. Countless flying cars were parked in the parking lot outside the Stage of Life and Death, and the Stage of Life and Death was full of people. However, there was no one in the north stands. Obviously, the main character had not appeared yet.
At 9 o 'clock in the morning, a melodious bell rang. The originally noisy Life and Death Arena suddenly became silent. For the people of the Ashley Family, they were very familiar with this bell. It was the Ashley Family's World Quiescent Bell!
The Ashley Family had a lot of very special traditions. For example, the World Quiescent Bell and the World Warning Drum! The World Quiescent Bell was rung when a big figure of the family appeared in a public place and needed everyone to be quiet. The World Warning Drum was rung when the family was in danger.
There was a very strong rule in the Ashley Family. When the World Quiescent Bell rang, the entire arena would be silent. If anyone dared to speak, they would be killed on the spot. When the World Warning Drum rang, all the combatants of the family had to be ready within 30 breaths. If they weren't ready within 30 breaths, they would be executed on the spot!
Because of this rule, when the World Quiet Bell rang, the Life and Death Ring immediately quieted down. There wasn't a single sound.
The Quiet World Bell rang three times and then fell straight down from the sky. Among these people, the leader was wearing a black magic robe and holding a black magic staff. His hair was a little white, but his face was ruddy and his expression was stern. He didn't look angry, but he looked dignified.
At his side were several people wearing Magic Robes and Warrior Robes. Desbarres was also among them. It was clear that they were the higher-ups of the Ashley Family.
The one leading them was a man wearing a black magic robe. He was the current Patriarch of the Ashley Family, Uke Ashley. Following him were eight people altogether. Two of them were core managers of the inner mansion, two were external managers of the inner mansion, and the other four were external managers. Each of these eight managers was in charge of a camp in the outer mansion. They were the eight most trusted people of Uke Ashley.
The group stood on the Life and Death Ring and looked around. Then Uke Ashley said, "The Six Realms Newcomer Competition, the Ashley Family's internal qualifier, now officially begins." Then his figure moved and entered the VIP seats. Desbarres and the others quickly followed behind him.
As soon as they entered the VIP seats, a transparent glass immediately rose from the VIP seats, separating them from the others. At this time, some core members of the Ashley Family entered the VIP seats one after another and sat down.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked onto the Life and Death Stage. This man was also a fatty. However, compared to Desbarres, this fatty was much cuter. His round face had a simple and honest smile, giving people a silly feeling. But if you treat him as a simple and honest person, then you would be dead. This person was a very famous person. His name was Cadjo. He was someone who grew up with Thunder. He was now the Ashley Family's chief steward and was in charge of Desbarres and the other eight stewards.
Desbarres was called the Fat Butcher because of his fierce face and the fact that he had killed countless people. But in the Ashley Family, there was another fatty who was more famous than him. This was Cadjo. Cadjo killed more people than Desbarres. Moreover, he wasn't like Desbarres who had a disgusting face. He was a typical smiling tiger. Because of this, Cadjo had a nickname in the Machine Field, Smiling Yama Cadjo.
As soon as one heard this name, one would know what it meant. Desbarres was called the Fat Butcher while Cadjo was called Yama. From this point, one could see who was superior.
Cadjo wasn't just the Ashley Family's manager. He was also Wuke's most trusted person. His relationship with Wuke's children was also very good. Wuke's children also respected him. It can be said that besides Wuke, Cadjo was the second most important person in the Ashley Family.
Cadjo stood on the stage with the same unchanging smile on his face. However, everyone on the Life and Death Stage was quietly looking at his fat body, and no one dared to look down on him. They didn't dare.
Cadjo stood on the stage and looked around. Then he chuckled and said, "Today is the Ashley Family's grand event. The Ashley Family's experts will compete for the honor of the family. Now, let's welcome the 71 warriors from the eight camps onto the stage!"
Just as his voice fell, two groups of people walked out of the doors on both sides of the Life and Death Ring. Some of them were wearing magic formation robes while others were wearing warrior robes. However, all of them had a badge on their bodies. This badge was the Ashley Family's badge, the Dark Mist Skull Badge. However, there were some small differences in their badges. For example, Zhao Hai's badge had two crossed bones under the skull. It looked like a pirate flag. This meant that Zhao Hai was a member of the Ashley Family's Bone Symbol Camp.
After everyone entered the Life and Death Ring, they immediately stood in their respective camps. The other camps had ten people each. Only Zhao Hai stood alone on the side. He looked pitiful.
Cadjo also saw Zhao Hai's appearance, but he didn't say anything. He just said, "I'll ask the computer to automatically arrange everyone's numbers." As soon as he finished speaking, a small aircraft appeared on the Life and Death Ring. A beam of light shot out from the aircraft and formed a projection in mid-air.
Then everyone's names appeared on the projection. Their numbers were from 1 to 71. Zhao Hai's number was 36, right in the middle.
After arranging the numbers, Cadjo looked at the projection and said, "For the first battle, I'll ask the computer to pick the two sides!"
Just as his voice fell, the names on the projection rolled. Then two numbers appeared on the projection. One was number 2 while the other was number 58. Not only did the two names appear on the projection, but there were also images and detailed introductions of the two.
Zhao Hai looked at them. The two of them had ascended to the Machine Field three years ago. Their strength was now at 2nd rank. One was a Mage while the other was a Warrior.
Seeing that the two sides had come out, Cadjo said, "Alright, I'll have to ask the warriors to leave. The other side can stay." Zhao Hai and the others left the Life and Death Ring and sat on the seats reserved for them.
At this time, the people in the VIP lounge were discussing the match. Desbarres was sitting beside Thunder. From this point, it can be seen that Desbarres was Thunder's confidant. Otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting so close to Thunder.
Thunder looked at Zhao Hai through the glass, then he turned to Desbarres and said, "Fatty Des, you're always protecting your own people. This isn't good. This time, you actually sent only one person to participate in the competition. Do you want to lose early so that you don't have to worry about it anymore? Moreover, I've seen this fellow's information. He's a Mage who ascended four months ago. Aren't you taking this too lightly? "
Desbarres smiled faintly and said, "Patriarch can rest assured. This time, I won't disappoint you. Don't look at the fact that I only sent one person. I can guarantee that he will give you a big surprise."
When Thunder heard Desbarres, he couldn't help but stare. At this time, someone next to him said, "Fatty Desbarres, don't brag. You've never sent more than eight people to participate in a competition. Moreover, you've always admitted defeat early. This time, you sent a rookie. I don't believe that someone who just ascended four months ago can do anything."
Desbarres didn't need to look to know who it was. It was Dillard, one of the four Outer Court Managers. Dillard had entered the Ashley Family's management 20 years ago. However, the Ashley Family and Desbarres didn't get along well. The two of them were constantly fighting.
But in general, Desbarres didn't like to fight with him. After all, Dillard was still a member of the Ashley Family. If the two of them fought too fiercely, it would affect the unity of the Ashley Family. For Desbarres, who grew up in the Ashley Family, this wasn't in line with the Ashley Family's interests.
Desbarres didn't want to be like Dillard. However, Dillard thought that Desbarres was afraid of him. He would often make things difficult for Desbarres in public. Desbarres wanted to fight back, but in the end, he endured it.
Thunder also knew what Desbarres was thinking. To be honest, he didn't like Dillard's personality. Desbarres grew up with him, so Thunder knew Desbarres better than Dillard. Although the Bone Symbol Camp didn't have a super expert, in terms of overall strength, the other seven camps weren't a match for the Bone Symbol Camp. It was precisely because of this that Thunder turned a blind eye to Desbarres' unwillingness to send people out.
Upon hearing Dillard, Thunder couldn't help but frown. Desbarres looked at Dillard and sneered, "Dillard, do you dare to make a bet with me? We'll each take out 10 million machine coins and bet that Zhao Hai will take first place in the qualifiers. If Zhao Hai takes first place, then you will lose 10 million machine coins to me. On the other hand, if Zhao Hai doesn't take first place, then even if he takes second place, I will lose 10 million machine coins to you. Do you dare to bet?"
