Chapter 735

Although Phoenix Rain's voice was not loud, Blue Phoenix was stunned when she heard it.

An Epic Weapon!

Even the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had only managed to obtain one Epic item after much difficulty. However, it was not a weapon. Instead, it was a pair of cloth armor gloves.

The Phoenix Pavilion and Heavenly Dragon Pavilion had fought endlessly over this pair of Epic ranked gloves. Both had tried to claim the gloves for themselves. In the end, however, the Great Pavilion Master had given the gloves to Phoenix Rain.

Because of this, the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion's Nine Dragons Emperor was furious.

However, Nine Dragons Emperor had no other choice. He was not a magical class, while Phoenix Rain was an Elementalist. That pair of Epic gloves was very suitable for Elementalists. To maximize the benefits, he had naturally given the gloves to Phoenix Rain.

The power of an Epic item went without saying.

Just by looking at the gloves' Attributes, Blue Phoenix could tell that Dark-Gold Equipment was far inferior. Not to mention, Epic Equipment provided a certain increase to some Basic Attributes. Although the increase was only around 10% to 15%, a peak expert's main Attribute already exceeded 500 points. A 10% increase was not a small amount. Not to mention, the gloves' powerful Skills could increase the wearer's basic combat power by at least 20% to 30%.

If an Epic item had such an effect, how much more powerful would an Epic Weapon be?

Just thinking about it made Blue Phoenix afraid.

The fact that Shi Feng had destroyed the Ice Wall with a single slash was proof of this.

However, this situation confused Blue Phoenix even more. The Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had only managed to obtain one piece of Epic Equipment after much difficulty. How had a small Guild like Zero Wing managed to obtain an Epic Weapon?

"It seems that Zero Wing is not as simple as we thought it to be. Both the Star Alliance and the Flower of Seven Sins lost to Zero Wing for a reason. In any case, have someone pay more attention to Zero Wing in the future. I keep getting the feeling that there's something strange about Black Flame," Phoenix Rain instructed sternly after giving the matter some thought.

"I understand. I'll have the intelligence department conduct a full investigation on Zero Wing immediately," Phoenix Rain said. This was the third time Blue Phoenix had seen such a serious expression on Phoenix Rain's face. Inwardly, she felt that Phoenix Rain was overestimating Zero Wing.

The Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was a super-first-rate Guild. Even if Zero Wing rose rapidly, it would not be able to surpass the threshold of a first-rate Guild. Ten years ago.

The virtual gaming industry had developed for several hundred years. During this time, many upstart Guilds had become first-rate Guilds in a single game. However, even now, not a single upstart Guild had managed to surpass a first-rate Guild.

Even the current Super Guilds were no exception. Not to mention Zero Wing, which had no background whatsoever.

…

At this moment, a sea of people crowded the Underground Arena's main venue.

There were two types of battles in the Underground Arena. The first type was the system-recognized ranking competition, which was divided into the normal, advanced, and special zones. The second type was the unlimited competition, in which players reserved the entire venue.

This kind of unlimited competition … Players did not need to obtain any results in the Underground Arena to compete with experts in the special zones. However, depending on the size and specifications of the venue, the fees would also vary.

The normal venue could accommodate more people than the ranking competition. It could accommodate roughly 500 people. If players reserved the venue, they would have to pay 3 Gold Coins per day. Players could fight as they pleased, and there was no limit to the number of times they could fight.

Next was the advanced venue. The advanced venue could accommodate 3,000 people, and reserving the venue cost 10 Gold Coins per day.

The special venue could accommodate 20,000 people, and reserving the venue cost 100 Gold Coins per day. Even large Guilds would not dare to casually reserve the venue.

Meanwhile, above the special venue was the main venue. The number of people the main venue could accommodate depended on the city's rank. A kingdom's capital could accommodate roughly 50,000 people. As for an imperial capital's Underground Arena, it could accommodate 70,000 to 80,000 people. As for the Four Great Empires, it could accommodate roughly 100,000 people.

Aside from the large number of people that could be accommodated at the same time … The biggest difference was the size of the venue.

Normally, only one-on-one battles could be held in a normal venue.

At most, a three-on-three battle could be held in a high-level venue.

At the same time, a ten-on-ten battle could be held in a high-level venue.

At the main venue, a 100-on-100 battle could be held in a high-level venue.

During a battle inside an Underground Arena, one could easily observe the entire battle from the spectator stands. One could observe every corner of the battlefield.

In God's Domain, there were many battles involving more than 100 players. However, if one wanted to observe a battle in detail, one would not have the opportunity to do so. After all, if one stood too close to the battle, one would easily be caught in the shockwaves. However, such a situation did not exist in the Underground Arena. One could observe the battle from a close distance. Hence, the Underground Arena was very popular among God's Domain's players. The various large Guilds often used the Underground Arena to practice 100-man team battles.

Only, the main venue was unique. Moreover, the price was not cheap. White River City's Underground Arena alone cost 300 Gold per day. As for the Four Great Empires' Underground Arenas, it cost 600 Gold per day.

Through Zero Wing and the Candlelight Trading Firm, Shi Feng's daily net profit was only around 1,000 Gold. Meanwhile, the Four Great Empires' Underground Arenas charged 600 Gold per day. Meanwhile, the Four Great Empires' Underground Arenas hosted such competitions every day would cost at least 2,400 Gold per day. One could just imagine how rich the Dark Arena's organizers were.

Regardless of whether it was the participants or spectators, the Dark Arena's Underground Arena was completely free of charge. Of course, whether it was the participants or spectators, only those who had received invitations were qualified to enter the Underground Arena.

But even so, the organizers still made a lot of money.

That was because all the winning bets in the Underground Arena had to be charged a 1% handling fee. 1% was nothing to the winning party, but the people who came to visit were all of high status. Even if it was only 1%, it was still a considerable amount of wealth, not to mention that there were so many people who participated in the bets.

The Underground Arena earned far more than 600 Gold in a single day.

Of course, with such a massive profit, the organizers weren't eternal. In the early stages of the competition, the Dark Arena's power mattered.

Why did the various major corporations want their battle teams to win repeatedly?

It was because only the top-ranked battle teams qualified to host the Dark Arena's competitions.

This was why the Dark Arena's battle teams were so valuable.

These major powers wouldn't bring the smaller powers with them. After all, the smaller powers in God's Domain didn't qualify to compete for the Dark Arena's Underground Arena.

Back then, Shi Feng had been very surprised that Phoenix Rain had managed to secure a battle team.

"There are so many people here!" After Blackie entered the main venue, he was stupefied as he looked at his surroundings.

Although the venue could accommodate 100,000 players, around 20% of the seats were filled. Moreover, every one of these people was extraordinary.

"These people all possess extraordinary statuses. Even the weakest among them are upper echelons of first-rate Guilds," Aqua Rose said as she scanned the crowd. She immediately noticed the upper echelons of several first-rate Guilds. She even spotted the Guild Leaders of first-rate Guilds.

"It's not just the upper echelons of first-rate Guilds. Many well-known experts of the virtual gaming world have also been invited. In addition, many representatives of major corporations have also been invited. However, the Dark Arena is quite lively today. It's actually filled to 20% of the seats," Shi Feng explained.

In the past, he had visited the Dark Arena several times. However, at that time, he had already reached Level 100. Many people had already recognized the Dark Arena. Moreover, the two battle teams that had participated in those battles had been quite powerful. Even so, the Dark Arena's occupancy rate had only been around 30%. Now that the Dark Arena had only recently opened, 20% of the seats was already considerably high.

As the staff led Shi Feng and the others into the arena, a commotion broke out in a corner of the spectator stands.

"That's not Ye Feng?" Zhao Yueru rubbed her eyes, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her. However, no matter how hard she tried to zoom in, that person was undoubtedly Ye Feng. "Why is he here?"

If you subscribe to Qidian under Yuewen, you can see it immediately. (To be continued.)
