Under Leon's puzzled gaze, Angor tried his best to explain the situation.
He didn't want Leon to get the wrong idea. Showing off one's personality was one thing, but it wouldn't be good if Leon went astray because of it.
Leon nodded as if he understood something. Angor wasn't sure if he understood.
Cheers came from inside the Sky Tower, followed by thunderous applause.
As Leon wondered, a screen on the outer wall showed a line of words: [Ghost Forest defeated Demon Dragon Envoy. Defeated four opponents in a row today and entered the second level of Sky Tower! ]
"There must be a fight inside," said Angor. "Come on, let's go inside. I'll show you what each level of the Sky Tower is like."
Angor only brought Leon here to see how strong his peers were, so they had to buy tickets to enter the Sky Tower. Angor could use his ID card to enter the tower for free, but the card had to be registered first. That shameful nickname was his biggest stain, and he would never use it.
After buying two tickets for the first level, Angor and Leon approached the list of matches.
The screen took up nearly 20 meters of the wall, and the matches were constantly changing. Words and numbers alternated back and forth, densely packed together, dazzling one's eyes.
"You can see the matches here," Angor explained to Leon while thinking about which one to start.
Angor checked the ranking first. Usually, the higher the ranking, the stronger the contestant. He was planning to watch the matches according to the ranking of the seats. Then he noticed that the first seat of Sky Tower was actually the "Silent Forest" that was advertised on the screen. As the screen refreshed, the first seat of Silent Forest disappeared from the first floor. Clearly, he had entered the second floor.
Apart from Ghost Forest, who just finished his match, none of the top ten contestants had a match today.
There were only ten seats shown on the screen.
"I guess I'll have to choose randomly." Since he couldn't choose which seats to watch, he had to choose randomly.
Angor looked at the most recent matches and decided to take Leon to one of them first.
"Choose randomly?" Leon was actually also observing the matches on the screen. "Where are the matches on the first floor?"
"They're all on the first level."
Leon's face was filled with shock. The screen was so big, and the words were so small. The densely packed words were actually all about the competition on the first level? He thought all the matches in Sky Tower would be displayed here.
"Can the pagoda hold so many matches?"
"This is the headquarters of Sky Tower in the southern wizardry region. The space inside is beyond imagination. We can host hundreds of matches at the same time."
Leon received new knowledge again. It was nothing out of the ordinary for Angor, but it still left a huge impact on Leon.
With Angor's guidance, Leon finally learned how to choose the matches he wanted to watch.
"A Lord of Hell against a Flame of Annihilation. This match should be amazing." Leon pointed at a match that would start in ten minutes. His eyes were shining with anticipation.
"Did you see the number of people watching this match? Less than a hundred people chose to watch the match. Games like this are just for fun, "said Angor.
"But from their titles, I feel that they are quite powerful." Leon muttered.
"More than half of the contestants here have very powerful titles." There were at least a few hundred "Annihilation" matches. "They usually have too high expectations when naming their titles. When it comes to reality, there's always an insurmountable gap between their expectations and reality."
Leon nodded. "Like how they show off their personalities? Is it a gimmick?"
"You can think of it that way." While answering Leon's question, Angor was also paying attention to the changes on the screen. When a message popped up, Angor saw a strange match.
[Scorpion VS Sword of Condemnation]
Angor had never heard of either of them before. Or rather, he didn't see anyone familiar on this level. He probably didn't even know about the matches on the 15th level. After all, he never talked to anyone who wasn't a member of Brute Cavern.
The reason why he found it strange was that this match was held in Arena 7, but there were only 60 people in the audience.
Among all the arenas, the top ten arenas were basically used by the contestants who were ranked at the top. In other words, "Scorpion" or "Sword of Condemnation" must be quite strong. Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged so many arenas.
If so, this match should attract a lot of people. But why were there so few people here? It was even lower than the "Lord of Hell VS Fiery Destroyer" match Leon mentioned earlier.
Something must be wrong. Should he go and check it out? After all, one of them was called "Condemnation Sword", which sounded like a Bloodline Apprentice. Lyon should have received some inspiration from it.
While Angor was hesitating, he suddenly heard a voice beside him.
"If you can't make up your mind, I recommend you to watch the match in Arena 18. There's a potential seed there."
Angor looked back and saw a chuunibyou young man who was wearing skull ornaments all over his body.
There were too many people watching the screen, so Angor didn't notice when the man came. But when he saw the man's face, Angor's expression changed a little.
"I'm Glenn. You're here to watch as well?" The chuunibyou boy saw Angor looking at him and introduced himself with a smile.
It wasn't Angor's first time seeing this young man.
When he first came back from the Abyss Plane, he learned that Dave was also participating in the "Rising Star Competition", so he went with Balba to watch a match between Dave and the King of Beasts.
At that time, Glenn was sitting beside Angor and seemed to be a fan of the King of Beasts.
When the match ended, Angor saw Glenn again. This time, Glenn was with Baroque.
Now, he saw Glenn again in the Sky Tower. Although Glenn looked like he was meeting Angor for the first time, Angor didn't think it was a coincidence.
The number of people who chose to watch the match under the screen could be said to be a sea of people. How could it be a coincidence that Glenn, who had met Angor several times in the past, managed to get close enough to talk to him?
Angor was using an illusion spell to hide his real face, but the higher-ups of Floating Mech City should be able to see through his disguise.
Baroque was one of the higher-ups in Floating Mech City, so Glenn might have something to do with Floating Mech City's higher-ups.
So someone deliberately told Glenn and then let Glenn approach me? Angor believed it was possible. But he didn't understand why Glenn would approach him.
Of course, this was all just a guess.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, but Angor didn't believe it.
"The potential seeded fighter in Arena 18 was raised by a famous wizard family in Evory. I can tell he's going to win by a landslide. But he's the only one who's worth watching so far. "Seeing that Angor did not reply, Glen continued his explanation.
This was similar to the first time Angor met Glenn. Glenn might look like a chuunibyou, but he was still a science enthusiast. It was Glenn who told him the rules of the "Rising Star Competition".
Leon didn't know who Glenn was, but he didn't think too much about Glenn's friendly attitude. He even whispered to Angor, "Should we listen to him and watch?"
Angor checked Arena 18's "Caged Bird VS Delusion". There were already 578 people watching the match.
Angor nodded, took out their tickets, and wrote "18" on them.
As they finished writing, the number of people who watched the show jumped to 581. In addition to him and Leon, Glen also filled in his ticket with the number 18.
"Since we're both going to watch Arena 18, why don't we go together?" Glenn smiled. He seemed to be looking forward to it.
Angor didn't answer. He took out his ticket again and wrote "7" on it. It was the match "Scorpion VS Sword of Condemnation".
The match in Arena 18 would start in an hour, while that in Arena 7 would start in ten minutes. He estimated that he would be able to make it to Arena 18 after watching the match in Arena 7.
Angor wasn't doing this to annoy Glenn. He was just curious about the match in Arena 7.
As for Glenn, it didn't matter if the man came here on purpose or not.
Leon didn't object to Angor's decision. He wasn't familiar with the matches in Sky Tower yet. When he saw that the battle in Arena 7 was about to begin, a strong sense of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to know how the battles between the other supernatural beings were like.
Half an hour later, in the auditorium of Arena No.7, Leon frowned.
His curiosity towards this match had completely disappeared with the passage of time.
Angor finally understood why no one wanted to watch the match. It was … too boring.
The female apprentice named "Scorpion" started the match with a stunning performance. She lifted her bright red skirt, and nine dark-red scorpion tails came out from under her skirt and waved them around.
"That's the bloodline of a Nine-Tailed Red Scorpion!" Angor's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to see an apprentice with such a bloodline on the first level. She should be at least at the fifth-tier level. No wonder the Sky Tower officials arranged her to fight in such an advanced stage.
Angor explained the advantages and disadvantages of the Nine-Tailed Red Scorpion bloodline to Leon.
Leon was also excited at first. But as the match went on, both of them fell silent.
Normally speaking, a Nine-Tailed Red Scorpion bloodline was an aggressive one, and it could inflict poison damage that was difficult to detoxify. However, this apprentice used the nine-tailed red scorpion as a defensive bloodline. The nine scorpion tails surrounded him, and no matter how hard the Sword of Condemnation slashed, it could not break through this layer of defense.
It wasn't that the Nine-Tailed Red Scorpion's defense was good. It was just that the contestants on the first level were too weak.
"A good match turned into a long one. No wonder no one wants to watch." Angor felt a headache coming on. It would be great if Leon didn't get misled by a match like this.
But when he thought about it again, he realized that the matches on the first level were for the weakest contestants. If Leon really wanted to learn something, he should go to the higher levels.
Fortunately, he had only bought tickets for two shows.
After this match, he should go to the higher levels to watch the match in Arena 18.
