Wrestling City had been in operation for over a hundred years. It had already formed a very commercialized chain of events. Not only could the challengers obtain generous prizes, but it was also very profitable.
Not only could the challengers obtain bountiful prizes, but the ordinary spectators could also participate in the various competitions organized by Wrestling City.
Wrestling City was only five kilometers away from the island's main city, Longyang City. Every day, tens of thousands of cultivators would come to watch the fights. The total flow of people was more than a million. Almost everyone would go down the mountain to place a few bets.
Even if each person only bet a few hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones, the bets would reach hundreds of millions of Medial Grade Spirit Stones. That was a very large sum.
Not only could they earn some extra income, but they could also watch some strong combat techniques in the wrestling rings. Wrestling City was very attractive to cultivators.
"Look, Ding Fengchou already obtained an iron medallion and left. The Heavenly Gate Defensive Sword is indeed extraordinary."
Suddenly, someone in the spectator stands exclaimed.
"Not bad, he is strong enough. He managed to pierce through a vital point with one strike. He is indeed strong. I will place my bets on him after today's competition ends."
"The Beast Taming Abode's Pei Shaoxuan obtained an iron medallion as well. What a fellow. He controlled seven or eight Rank 7 Spirit Beasts by himself. He completely crushed them."
"Jiang Zimo and Mu Xinya obtained iron medallions as well. It looks like the three experts of the Myriad Fiend Palace's younger generation are not undeserved."
"The Holy Fire Manor's Young Manor Lord obtained an iron medallion as well."
"Leng Yun has been famous in the southern islands for a long time. It is not strange that he obtained an iron medallion so early."
Some of the young experts who had been famous for a long time obtained an iron medallion and leaped out of Wrestling City. The moment these people entered the arena, they displayed a strong aura.
After killing a few Demonic Beasts, no more Demonic Beasts dared to attack them. They went to look for weaker opponents. Their auras grew stronger as they fought.
It was a tragedy for those who were weaker. The number of Demonic Beasts surrounding them increased. The originally difficult situation became even more difficult to deal with.
Several people did not even have time to give up before the Demonic Beasts tore them to shreds and devoured them.
Xiao Chen fought four Demonic Beasts alone. He did not even draw the Lunar Shadow Saber. With his strong aura, no Demonic Beast dared to find trouble with him and take the initiative to attack him.
Xiao Chen shifted his target to the other cultivators who were still struggling bitterly.
The two Flame Wolves finally fell under Xiao Chen's iron fists. Xiao Chen broke open the corpses of the Demonic Beasts and discovered that his luck was not ordinary. Four Demonic Beasts had actually allowed him to obtain two iron plates.
However, no matter how many iron medallions there were, one was enough. As Xiao Chen prepared to leave, he discovered that Xia Xiyan and her Junior Sister were still blocking the attacks of seven or eight Demonic Beasts.
Xia Xiyan already held an iron medallion in her hand. Unfortunately, her Junior Sister had too little combat experience. She was already flustered when dealing with two Demonic Beasts.
When four or five demonic beasts attacked together, it was even more dangerous. He had no choice but to think of ways to help her deal with them.
With Xiao Rou dragging them down, the number of beasts surrounding them increased. Initially, there were four beasts, but now, there were eight of them.
If this dragged on and the number of Demonic Beasts increased, even Xia Xiyan would find it hard to escape.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a while before deciding to help. No matter what, when he first arrived at Heavenly Spring Island, Xia Xiyan had given him a good impression.
Furthermore, this was not something that would require much effort. If he could help, he would. There was no harm in making more friends in the future.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground heavily and leaped into the air. With the help of the Blood Flame Shoes, his figure moved at lightning speed. With a whip kick, he sent a Demonic Beast surrounding Xia Xiyan flying.
Half of the Demonic Beast's head caved in. When it fell to the ground, it could not be more dead. This shocked Xia Xiyan and Xiao Rou.
Seeing Xiao Chen help, Xia Xiyan could not help but rejoice. She said, "Many thanks, Brother Xiao, for helping."
Xiao Chen nodded gently and did not say anything more. He tossed an iron plate to Xia Xiyan and said, "Bring your Junior Sister away. I'll hold off these Demonic Beasts first."
When Xia Xiyan heard this, she rejected, "No way. There are still seven Demonic Beasts. How can you hold them off by yourself? Even if you can, you will have to expose some of your trump cards."
"That's fine. I have the advantage of speed. There is no need to be afraid. You go first." Xiao Chen smiled faintly and sent out a few sharp fist winds, attracting the attention of the seven Demonic Beasts.
The pale Xiao Rou heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw Xiao Chen attracting the attention of the Demonic Beasts alone, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
She had not expected that Xiao Chen, whom she had looked down on, had already obtained two iron plates. He even gave one to her. Now, he even helped her lure all the Demonic Beasts away.
Seeing Xiao Chen lead the Demonic Beasts far away, Xia Xiyan said to Xiao Rou, "The other Demonic Beasts are about to surround us. Take the iron plate and leave first. I will help him kill the Demonic Beasts. No matter what, I cannot owe him too much."
Xiao Rou was not insensible. She knew that she would not be of much help. So, she quickly took the iron plate and flew away.
The seven Demonic Beasts launched all sorts of attacks at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen used his advantage in speed to dodge, dodging most of the attacks.
As for the few attacks that were too concentrated, Xiao Chen simply blocked them. The larger the attack range, the weaker it would be. There was no problem blocking them.
"Ka ca!"
Just as Xiao Chen was about to break through, a sharp sword light flashed. Blood spurted out, and a Flame Wolf's head flew into the air.
However, Xia Xiyan turned back and landed beside Xiao Chen.
Xia Xiyan did not say anything. Her sword light danced, and she danced around like a butterfly. She moved about the Demonic Beasts as she pleased, appearing graceful and natural.
However, her sword Qi was very dense and imposing. Furthermore, it was complemented by sword intent. Its might was startling, unlike her Movement Technique.
When Xia Xiyan swung her sword, no matter how strong the Demonic Beasts were, they would be significantly injured. The weaker ones would have their limbs chopped off.
This was Xia Xiyan's true strength. Without Xiao Rou holding her back, the first batch of people to obtain the iron plate would definitely have Xia Xiyan's name on it.
Xiao Chen did not intend to leave immediately. He clenched his fists and relied on his strength and the strong defense of his physical body to fight the Demonic Beasts.
With the two of them working together, the seven Demonic Beasts slowly fell. The two of them took some time to extract their Demonic Cores. In the end, they discovered that the seven Demonic Beasts did not even have an iron plate.
Xia Xiyan felt somewhat fortunate as she said, "Fortunately, you helped me deliver an iron plate. Otherwise, after so much effort, we would not even have obtained an iron plate."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Sometimes, luck is just like that. It is hard to say. Let's go."
"Xiu!"
Just at this moment, a man landed beside the two of them in a hurry. He smiled at them and said, "Help me block them for a while. I'll leave first."
The expressions of the two of them changed. They saw ten-odd Demonic Beasts chasing after them aggressively. This fellow had actually used Xiao Chen and Xia Xiyan as a shield.
The lines on the Blood Flame Shoes suddenly lit up. Xiao Chen's speed increased to Mach 4. With a 'xiu' sound, he arrived in front of that person.
Before that person's astonished gaze, Xiao Chen kicked out and said expressionlessly, "Scram!"
Xiao Chen's speed was too fast. That person did not even have a chance to react. The kick struck his chest and sent him flying back into the encirclement of the Demonic Beasts.
Xia Xiyan took advantage of this opportunity and dashed forward. The two of them flew out of the wrestling ring one after the other and arrived at the spectator stands specially prepared for the participants.
In the spectator stands, there were already a hundred people who had obtained an iron medallion. They sized up Xiao Chen for a while before returning their attention to the wrestling ring.
In the wrestling ring, sixty or seventy people were bitterly holding on. Forced by the situation, they had to work together to fight against the remaining three-hundred-odd Demonic Beasts.
Actually, as long as these people jumped out of the wrestling ring, even if they did not have an iron medallion, they would not receive any punishment. At most, they would automatically forfeit.
Dozens of corpses littered the wrestling ring. Some Demonic Beasts cruelly devoured these corpses as tens of thousands of people watched.
Dying without a complete corpse, reduced to food, this was the most tragic fall of geniuses. When Xiao Chen saw this, a ripple appeared in his calm heart.
In this budding age of geniuses, geniuses were like fish in the river, emerging in an endless stream.
To those talented cultivators, this was the best age. Only in this age could geniuses find a stage that belonged to them. They could shine brightly and leave their names in history.
Just like the Tianwu Emperor who founded the Tianwu Dynasty. Just like the Thunder King from thousands of years ago. Even after tens of thousands of years, they were still remembered by history.
This was also the worst age. Normally, the people here would be the ones who led the tide of the age.
However, now, even the geniuses that appeared once in a hundred years were no different from the crowd. If you did not work hard, you would be eliminated by the times, losing the opportunity to shine on this stage.
The owners of the corpses in the wrestling ring had all thought of giving up when they were alive. However, once they gave up on this opportunity, they would be left behind.
In this age, they could only be a spectator. To these proud and aloof geniuses, who would be willing to be a nameless spectator?
Xiao Chen clenched his right fist tightly and muttered to himself, The age of geniuses is here. Since I have come to this world, I cannot be a spectator.
Three hundred Rank 7 Demonic Beasts surrounded sixty-seven cultivators. The battle could no longer be described as intense; it was extremely miserable.
Another ten cultivators obtained an iron medallion and broke through the encirclement of the Demonic Beasts, returning to the crowd.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that the cultivator who wanted to use him and Xia Xiyan as a stepping stone was actually one of these ten people.
After that cultivator arrived, he looked at Xiao Chen with a sullen gaze before slowly walking into the crowd.
Xia Xiyan said, "Don't underestimate him. He is the second disciple of the Great Xia Nation's Lamenting Valley's Valley Master. His Lamenting Palm is very powerful. He probably did not want to reveal his trump card, so he delayed obtaining an iron medallion."
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. In reality, he had hidden his strength as well. If he drew his saber, he was confident that he would be one of the top ten people to obtain an iron medallion.
After a while, no one else obtained an iron medallion. Instead, many of the cultivators who persisted died. Gao Yangyu shook his head and said to the people beside him.
After a while, ten half-step Martial Monarchs landed in the wrestling ring. Their strong auras merged together and pressed down on the Rank 7 Demonic Beasts.
"Hu chi!"
The previously insufferably arrogant Rank 7 Demonic Beasts felt fear before this strong aura. They all retreated.
