Amidst the commotion, the competition quickly began.
There were many battles to be fought at the Starfire Summit, so it had to be done as quickly as possible. Lu An was about to walk out when he was stopped by Liu Yi.
"There's no need to rush." Liu Yi said to Lu An, "There are just some small fish and shrimps fighting in front. The real show is behind."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He nodded and said, "I want to take a look first."
"Then I'll accompany you." Liu Yi said.
With that, the two of them walked from the resting area to the periphery of the competition area, below the stands. There was a bronze door in front of them, and there was no stage in the huge arena in front of them. It was all a competition venue!
When Lu An saw the scene in the arena, he was stunned and asked in astonishment, "Why are there so many people?"
That's right, there were not only two people fighting in the arena, but at least six people fighting! The six Heavenly Masters kept attacking, setting off waves after waves in the huge arena.
"Don't you know?" Liu Yi looked at Lu An in surprise and asked.
Lu An looked at Liu Yi and shook his head. "I don't know. What's the situation?"
"This competition is not like normal, where there is a need for challenges. Instead, it is divided by resources." Liu Yi frowned and said, "For example, a piece of land. Whoever wants this place will take the initiative to come to the competition arena. Therefore, the six people in front of us might be from three or even four families. Whoever stands at the end will get the land."
"There is no limit to the number of people in this battle. You can send as many people as you want. You can even join forces with other families and ask them for help. When the time comes, you can just give them some benefits when you get the territory."
Hearing Liu Yi's words, Lu An's expression was a little sluggish, but he quickly calmed down. He had to admit that this was indeed the fairest method.
This was actually just putting the fight between the big families in the arena. This way, it could maintain the stability of Starfire City and allow the commoners to live a more peaceful life.
However, Lu An still had some doubts in his heart. He asked Liu Yi, "Can anything be snatched? For example, the headquarters of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, can it be snatched? "
"Of course not." Liu Yi smiled and said, "I bought it. I have the title deed and all the formalities, and it was recognized by the City Lord's Mansion. The resources that could be seized were all under the control of the City Lord's Mansion. For example, official roads, waterways, ores, medicine mountains, and some shops. Of course, there's also the central shop. "
Lu An nodded and turned to look at the battle in the arena. No matter what, this Starfire Summit was really not simple. Of all the things that Liu Yi had said just now, what Lu An cared about the most was that they could join forces with other families.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce had a vast network of connections and resources. It was hard to imagine whether or not they would be able to invite any powerful figures. Even if he didn't manage to invite them, the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce had a large number of people from various large Chambers of Commerce and families.
On the other hand, Liu Yi had once said to him that she would not ask the Chamber of Commerce or her family for help. The reason was simple. Although the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce was powerful now, it wouldn't last long. Most of these people were still in a wait-and-see state. They were wavering and could change sides at any time. Asking them to help now would only cause resentment. More importantly, once they helped at the Starfire Summit, it was equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce. Before the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce was completely destroyed, no one dared to do so.
Originally, Lu An didn't care much about it. But now that he knew that they would all join forces, his heart sank.
This wasn't something that could be joked about. Because Liu Yi had told him that in this arena, life and death didn't matter!
Lu An stood quietly in front of the door, watching the battle in the arena. Everyone inside was going all out. Every move they made was a killing move, showing no mercy. In a short time, someone was seriously injured and took the initiative to flee to the side to surrender.
Those who surrendered couldn't participate in the battle anymore. This was the rule.
The originally clean arena was completely changed in a short time. Rocks, trees, and flames were everywhere. At this time, Lu An's eyes turned cold. He raised his head and looked at a person in the air.
He saw that person jump up from a tree and fly straight into the air. At the same time, a vine shot out from the tree and went straight for that person!
The vine was getting closer and closer. That person quickly threw out a few flames to hit the vine. Although the force hit the vine, the flames were just ordinary flames. They couldn't burn the vine all at once. That vine, with a few sparks, suddenly turned around and continued to fly towards him!
Fire restrains wood. This principle didn't exist in battle.
Numerous vines swept over. That person hurriedly used flames in the air, but he couldn't stop them. In a blink of an eye, his whole body was bound by the vines. At the same time, a vine went straight for his heart!
Poof!
Lu An's eyes narrowed. He saw with his own eyes that the Heavenly Master's aura quickly withered. In the end, his head fell down and he didn't move.
The vine loosened. The Heavenly Master fell to the ground. His head touched the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Wow …" Shocked voices came from the stands. Looking at the Heavenly Master on the ground, he definitely couldn't survive.
"See?" Liu Yi suddenly said, "This is the world of the Heavenly Master. If you take someone's offerings, you have to work for them. Sometimes, a Heavenly Master can't even compare to a commoner."
"…"
Lu An frowned tightly and didn't say a word.
"I'll leave first," Liu Yi said.
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Liu Yi and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Where I should go." Liu Yi smiled elegantly and said, "I still have something to do."
Lu An was stunned again. However, he never asked about Liu Yi's matters. He nodded and said, "Come back quickly."
"Why? Can't you leave me?" Liu Yi's smile grew wider. She looked at Lu An teasingly. When she found that Lu An's face was a little red, she was willing to let him go. She said, "If I don't come back before the competition at the central store, you will bring them to the stage."
Lu An's eyes narrowed. He took a light breath and nodded.
"Don't worry. I trust you very much." Liu Yi said with a smile, "Sometimes, I trust you more than I trust myself."
With that, Liu Yi patted Lu An's shoulder and turned to leave, leaving only her graceful back to Lu An.

Time passed little by little. Lu An stood inside the bronze door and watched the battles one after another.
At noon, their people only distributed some dry rations. Everyone was eating together in the lounge. Everyone was trying their best to eat because no one knew if they could survive past the afternoon.
Even Lu An was infected by these people. He ate the steamed bun in his hand in big mouthfuls, wanting to be a full ghost.
In the afternoon, the battles continued.
As time passed, the number of people, strength, and scale of the battles increased significantly. In the first battle, there were only six Heavenly Masters, but now there were 15 Heavenly Masters in the field. At this moment, Lu An understood why the field was so huge. Moreover, the strength of these 15 Heavenly Masters was not something the Heavenly Masters in the morning could compare to.
Lu An also realized that the battles of the Heavenly Masters were not as messy as before. Instead, there was a faint sense of coordination. Whether it was the promotion of attributes or the combination of skills, they all appeared, making the battles between the Heavenly Masters more orderly.
This was the first time Lu An realized that the Heavenly Masters were cooperating. He had thought about this before, but he had never taken it seriously.
Liu Yi had not returned yet.
Lu An looked back at the long corridor. That graceful figure had not appeared since the morning.
Watching the sun slowly set from the highest point, Lu An's heart became more and more solemn. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Watching the battles end one by one, the bloodstains on the ground increased, and the corpses were carried away one by one. Lu An kept frowning, but he did not say anything.
"The last battle!"
All of a sudden, the host shouted loudly. His voice spread throughout the entire arena, and everyone was shaken by it!
"It is also the most important battle that everyone is looking forward to the most! Because the resource for this battle is — the Central Commercial Street! "
"Hua hua …"
In an instant, the audience in the stands was completely excited! Everyone cheered, and their voices reached the peak of the day!
Lu An was shocked. He looked back and found that Liu Yi had still not returned. He did not say anything. He went back to the lounge and opened the door.
"It's time for us to go on stage." Lu An looked at everyone and said softly.
"Yes!" The 13 Heavenly Masters stood up and shouted in unison!
