Speaking of which, when Lu Ye was in the Nine States, he had also signed a Heavenly Secret Contract with others. Although it wasn't many times, such a thing had never happened before.
After thinking for a moment, he roughly understood.
The manifestation of a Heavenly Secret Contract was different from the Asura Contract. After a Heavenly Secret Contract was signed, Little Nine would secretly monitor both parties. If someone violated the contract, Little Nine would punish them.
But, the strength of the Asura Contract directly entered a cultivator's body. This naturally triggered a reaction from the talent tree.
"Fellow daoist?" Seeing Lu Ye in a daze, Walnut couldn't help but call out. She comforted him, "Fellow daoist need not worry. When fellow daoist leaves the Asura Arena in the future, the strength of the Asura Contract will naturally dissipate."
Lu Ye nodded. He naturally wasn't worried. Now, he was curious as to how long the strength of the Asura Contract could last in his body.
"When does fellow daoist plan to continue participating in the battle arena?" Walnut asked.
"Now!" Lu Ye replied.
Walnut happily said, "Then I will wait for fellow daoist's good news!"
The two returned to their respective caves and Lu Ye immediately began his challenge. He entered the battle arena and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a number in the sealed space of the battle arena. He took out the Asura Command and sent a message to Walnut. After Walnut responded, he put away the Asura Command.
A moment later, he turned his head and saw Walnut's figure in that direction. When their eyes met, Walnut waved at him.
But what surprised Lu Ye was that there was actually a very dignified woman sitting next to Walnut …
Lu Ye blinked and laughed. He was wondering why Walnut had so readily agreed to a 50/50 split. It turned out that she wasn't the only one betting on him. The 50/50 split was only between him and Walnut, it didn't include that woman.
30 breaths of time quickly passed. The battle began and then quickly ended!
When his figure dissipated, Lu Ye saw the woman beside Walnut stand up, looking very happy …
For the next several days, Lu Ye continued to travel back and forth in the battle arena. Every time he challenged, his ranking would rise by nearly a hundred places. His contact with Walnut also gradually increased.
Every victory brought benefits to the master and disciple pair. At the very beginning, because the master and disciple pair didn't have much capital, they didn't win much.
But as the Master and disciple pair slowly accumulated their capital, the benefits they obtained gradually increased. This was because every time they bet all their Asura Seals on Lu Ye, no one else had the same boldness as them.
As a result, the proportion of their bets far exceeded that of the other cultivators, and if Lu Ye won, they would receive even greater benefits.
Just like a rolling snowball, in just a few days, the number of Asura Seals the Master and disciple had accumulated increased by more than ten times!
During this time, Lu Ye had thought about finding more people to sign the Asura contract in this way, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided against it.
The main thing was that he didn't know anyone here, so they didn't trust him.
During this time, he had sent a message to Gui Yi, wanting her to reap some benefits. Unfortunately, Gui Yi had always been against betting on luck. Not only did she not come to place a bet, she even persuaded Young Master Lu to get involved in these matters.
A few days later, Lu Ye's ranking in the Battle Arena had already entered the top 500.
In the battle record column, a record of 152 wins and zero losses was extremely eye-catching, and it repeatedly caused great psychological pressure to his opponents. This was because any cultivator with the slightest bit of common sense would know what such a terrifying record entailed.
After another battle, Lu Ye returned to his cave abode to rest and reorganize. It had to be said that as his ranking rose, the opponents he encountered did indeed become stronger. In particular, the cultivators in the top 1000 were not to be underestimated.
Lu Ye had also changed his original intention. His initial goal in participating in the Battle Arena was to reach the top of the rankings and fight for the Asura Seal reward.
However, after so many battles, his goal was no longer just that.
This was because he discovered that this was a rare place to broaden his horizons. Although he had fought against Yue Yao in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, he hadn't had many opportunities to do so.
However, it was different here. Every opponent he encountered was at the late stage of Yue Yao, without exception. Moreover, they were all from different backgrounds, inheritances, and races.
Fighting against different opponents often gave him many wonderful insights, and at the same time, he could also test his various shortcomings.
He very much enjoyed this kind of competition where every opponent spared no effort to kill him!
In Walnut's cave abode, Walnut looked at the woman and asked, "Master, he has already entered the top 500. Can he continue to advance?"
The reason she asked this question was naturally because the woman's initial judgment was that Lu Ye had a place in the top 500.
In just a few short days, this judgment had become true. Therefore, before entering the top 500, Walnut had full confidence in Lu Ye. Before every battle began, she would bet on Lu Ye without hesitation, but now, she couldn't be sure.
The woman revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "That kid probably hasn't used his full strength!"
In the end, her eyesight was not as good as Walnut's. Although Lu Ye had to fight for a long time to win in the recent battles, and there were a few times when it looked like he had won by a narrow margin, the woman always felt that Lu Ye's strength was not limited to this. Those fierce battles and narrow victories were more like a kind of deliberate suppression to temper himself.
Walnut was shocked. "He's already in the top 500, and he hasn't used his full strength?"
This ranking was something she would never be able to achieve in her entire life. Her best result had been when she had entered the top 5000, and the gap between her and the top 500 was like a chasm.
"Did he send you a message?" the woman asked again.
Walnut shook her head.
"Then there's no mistake." The woman nodded. "He definitely has a place in the top 100!"
Walnut hesitated, "Then the next battle …"
"No change, we'll bet everything on him!" The woman said resolutely.
Walnut was secretly speechless. The two of them, master and disciple, had never experienced such wealth before. In just a few days, they had accumulated an extremely large amount of wealth. However, if they were to make a mistake in the future, then all their previous savings would be for naught.
Walnut didn't dare believe her master's judgment because her master's gambling luck really wasn't very good.
Just to be safe, she couldn't help but send a message to Lu Ye, "Can you still win?"
"No problem!" Lu Ye quickly replied, and at the same time, he sent a serial number to the battlefield.
Walnut was shocked. "Aren't you going to rest?" She had never seen such a person before. He had clearly consumed a lot of energy in the last battle, and it had only been a short while, yet he had actually started again.
She hurriedly sent the serial number to her master, and they entered the battlefield together. When she looked up, Lu Ye was already standing in the middle of the battlefield, and he didn't look the least bit dispirited. On the contrary, he looked full of energy.
If it were any other cultivator, they might indeed need a period of time to recover after a hearty battle, but Lu Ye had the Innate Skill Tree, and the magic power he consumed could be quickly replenished. As long as his physical strength could keep up, he wouldn't need to recover for too long.
It was another fierce battle. For a battle of this level, there were many cultivators in the stands. It was not like when Lu Ye had just entered the top ten thousand. At that time, there were few cultivators in the stands, but now, there were almost no empty seats.
With so many spectators, there were naturally more cultivators betting. As a result, Walnut and her master could obtain even greater benefits.
The only thing that dissatisfied the woman was that now, it wasn't just her and her master who were staring at Lu Ye. Many people had already noticed this newcomer.
Although these people couldn't contact Lu Ye and couldn't chase him into a specific Asura Field, there were always some people who were lucky enough to enter the place where Lu Ye was. Naturally, they would bet on him without hesitation.
As a result, the benefits of Walnut and her master were reduced in disguise.
Victory after victory.
Walnut felt that she had won too many times. She never thought that it would be so easy to obtain Asura Seals in this Asura Field. She more or less understood the joy of her master.
After a few more victories, Lu Ye's ranking had already entered the top 100!
The news of the newcomer's rise spread, and many people in the Asura Field knew that an incredible newcomer had arrived. So far, he hadn't tasted a single defeat in one or two hundred battles.
Unfortunately, for the time being, no one knew where this newcomer came from or what his name was. This was because this newcomer had hidden his information on the battlefield rankings. Now, they only knew that he was a saber wielding cultivator of the human race.
After entering the top 100, the rules changed again. He could no longer challenge opponents in the top 100. Right now, Lu Ye could only challenge cultivators ranked in the top 10.
In other words, he needed to win at least nine more battles to enter the top 10. However, considering that some cultivators weren't in the Heavenly Asura Field right now, the number of battles wouldn't just be nine, but more.
For Lu Ye, this wasn't a problem.
The strength of the top 100 cultivators compared to the strength of the top 500 cultivators obviously had some changes. Even Lu Ye had to be careful because some cultivators often used some strange methods. However, if he was careless, he could capsize the boat in the gutter.
Walnut was completely dumbfounded because she never thought that Lu Ye would still be able to advance in the top 100.
One had to know that at first, her master had judged that Lu Ye had a place in the top 500. Later, she judged it to be the top 100. However, this still wasn't the limit.
After more than ten battles, Lu Ye successfully entered the top 10.
The cultivators in the Asura Field all knew that in this battlefield, the top 10 cultivators and those below them were two different levels of existence.
They didn't dare to say that entering the top 10 meant that they would definitely be promoted to Sunshine, but the strength of the top 10 cultivators would always be at the top of the entire realm.
Walnut watched every battle from beginning to end and was also on tenterhooks the whole time. After all, Lu Ye's victory or defeat was related to her entire fortune.
Gradually, she discovered a strange thing. Whether it was the top 500 or the top 100, or the top 10, Lu Ye's performance had never changed. In every battle, it looked like he had used all his strength to win with difficulty.
If it was just one or two battles, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, it was the same every time. It made people suspect one thing — even in the top 10 battles, Lu Ye still didn't really use all his strength. It was because he still had some strength left that he could control the changes in the battle situation.
