Chapter 381: The First Battle of the Dimension Arena

There are several requirements for advancing your status in the empire.

The easiest way is to donate!

If you donate 100 million Tianhe coins to the Imperial Red Cross, you can obtain citizenship, and if you donate 1 billion Tianhe coins, you can obtain knighthood.

However, the highest level of donation one can make is knighthood. Titles above baron cannot be obtained through donations alone.

In addition to donations, one also has to make contributions in a certain industry, such as pharmacists, star shifters, adventurers, etc. For example, adventurers can discover civilized planets and resource planets and report them to the empire. When the merits accumulate to a certain level, they can be promoted to the title.

The next step is to fight in the dimensional arena.

The Dimension Arena is also an institution that has been around for countless years and is very popular in the empire.

This is true not only in the Tianhe Empire, but in any country. Dimensional fighting is a very important form of leisure in people's lives.

People can bet on dimensional fighting. Countless people have made fortunes here, but countless people have also lost and gone bankrupt.

Lin Zhen’s clone is at the ninth level of Comet and can participate in the Star Realm Fighting Arena.

Fighting can earn you money and points. If you are a slave, you can be promoted to a pauper if you win ten games in a row. If you are a pauper, you can be promoted to a citizen if you win a hundred games in a row.

Such advancement did not require donations of money, which attracted many slaves and poor people.

Of course, it is not easy to win ten or a hundred games in a row. Whenever a warrior wins eight, nine, or more than ninety games in a row, the dealer will often arrange some masters to compete with him, and very few people can successfully advance.

If we can achieve a thousand consecutive wins, we can advance to the Jazz.

"Chris, I'm going to the Dimension Arena."

"You will be connected immediately. The dimensional arena is being connected."

The scenery in front of him changed, and Lin Zhen came to a huge arena.

The arena is circular, with the fighting field in the center and stands all around it, and can accommodate millions of people watching at the same time.

Of course, this also includes some small arenas. A newcomer like Lin Zhen has no way of directly stepping onto the big stage. He has to start from the low level.

Arriving at the reception desk, Lin Zhen signed up directly: "I want to participate in competitive fighting."

"Okay, I'll scan it for you..."

"Ding! Identity verification, poor Lin Zhen, from the solar system, comet level nine, spiritual master."

"Solar system? This is the first time I've heard of this place." said the receptionist.

"Yes, the solar system has just been occupied by the Imperial Army, and I have just joined the Empire."

"Is that so? Well, I have already entered your identity. After paying a deposit of one million, you can participate in the preliminary rounds at any time and be randomly matched with opponents within the Star Realm. For each win before ten consecutive wins, you can get a bonus of 10,000 Tianhe coins."

The receptionist glanced at Lin Zhen and said, "But I still advise you not to have too high hopes for the competition. I have seen too many young people like you who have just entered the empire and hope to stand out in the arena. This place includes the best players in the entire galaxy, and their combat strength and level are much stronger than your planet."

"Thank you, but I still want to try."

"Well, if you can achieve ten consecutive wins, you will receive the Medal of Bravery. Each victory will give you a reward of 100,000 Tianhe coins. Your capital will be earned back very quickly."

Lin Zhen took out his card and swiped it, paying a deposit of one million.

"Okay, you can enter the battle field at any time through intelligent life. There should be a ten-minute interval between each game. We need to give customers time to place bets. Remember, you cannot bet on yourself or your opponent to win."

Lin Zhen nodded. He didn't need to go into the arena. He just needed to let Chris take charge of the connection.

"Chris, start my first battle immediately."

"Okay, I'll connect right away."

Soon, the battle table appeared in front of Lin Zhen.

This was his first competitive match. The opponent was Lin Zhen, a person from the solar system Earth, and a level nine comet. He had zero competitive match battles, zero wins, zero losses, and zero draws, typical statistics for a newcomer.

On the other side, Landis from the White Moon Star in Andromeda, Comet Level 8, three competitive battles, two wins and one loss, two consecutive wins.

Landis lost the first game, but won two games in a row afterwards, so his strength should be pretty good.

After the battle match came out, some people who were watching the match schedule discovered this fight.

"Look, new people are joining the fight, and we're making money."

"Haha, this kind of battle is the best to bet on. The strength of most newcomers is not worth mentioning, especially this Lin Zhen, who is from the solar system. Where is the solar system? How come I have never heard of it? He must be a native who just joined."

"For the peripheral battle, the upper limit of the bet is one million, so I will bet one million that Landis will win."

"I'll bet half a million on Landis to win, too, and win some pocket money."

Those who place bets here are basically some idle citizens. They gamble in the arena every day and make money based on their eyesight.

They can't afford to place big bets, but they can still take a gamble on this kind of peripheral bets.

It was rare for important people to come to such a peripheral place, but today, when they were discussing animatedly, a group of people came over.

"Get out of the way! Prince Shangguan is here!"

Hearing this name, the people around were frightened and quickly dodged to the sides.

The royal family of the Tianhe Empire is the Tian family, but there are also four princes from other families, and Prince Shangguan is one of them.

Prince Shangguan's eldest son was named Shangguan Jiao. It was said that he was raised as a girl. Later, the prince disliked femininity and changed her name to Shangguan Jiao. He also said that the name was strong and spicy, which made the old prince very angry.

Shangguan Jiao is a royal relative, so he is certainly not someone that poor people like them can afford to offend. Any offense against him would be punishable by death.

Several satellite-level nine guards separated the crowd, and a handsome young man with eyes that kept rolling around and glancing at women appeared.

"Prince, if we want to place a bet, we should go to the main arena. Why come to a place like this? The maximum limit here is only one million."

"What do you know? I had a dream yesterday that a noble person would appear here today. I like those who take unconventional approaches. If I win the preliminary bet, I will follow suit. Maybe I can really make a fortune."

"Then you should find a place to place your bet. You have already visited more than a hundred peripheral venues."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I won't bet on those ugly ones. I have to bet on a handsome one. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of such a handsome man like me?"

As Shangguan Jiao was talking, she suddenly saw the battle schedule between Lin Zhen and Landis.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Hey! This one is not bad, it looks good. Come on, come on, bet one million on him, I'm feeling it."

"Prince, this guy is a newcomer and hasn't played a single game yet. Why don't we take a look at him? It would be ok to just observe him for a while."

"Stop talking nonsense. Are you the master or am I the master? What does it matter if I win or lose a million? I just like to follow my feelings."

The guard who had reached planetary level seven smiled helplessly and helped Shangguan Jiao bet one million that Lin Zhen would win.

In a short while, there were already more than 300 people placing bets, most of whom were betting on Landis, with the total amount exceeding 100 million.

There were really only a dozen or so people betting on Lin, and the amount was several million.

This proves that newcomers like Lin Zhen are not favored.

Ten minutes later, there was a flash of white light, and Lin Zhen entered the arena.

The arena was not big, with several thousand seats for spectators around it, and all those who had placed bets automatically appeared in the stands to enjoy the fight.

Shangguan Jiao sat in the best seat, surrounded by guards. Although being killed in the dimensional universe did not mean real death, he could not afford to lose face. Being beaten in the dimensional universe would also mean making an enemy.

The Bauhinia Medal of Nobility on his body made ordinary people dare not approach him. The Bauhinia is the emblem of the Shangguan family.

The two fighting parties appeared on the ring. Opposite Lin Zhen, a man with purple pupils appeared. It was his opponent Landis.

Landis glanced at Lin Zhen and sneered, "This is the first time I've seen a race with black eyes and black hair. You're a rookie who has never fought a battle. Welcome to the Dimension Arena. I'm going to teach you a good lesson today."

Lin Zhen looked around and saw the prince sitting in the stands.

I didn't expect that there would be a prince coming to watch such a game.

"This guy seems to be called Shangguan Jiao. I knew him in my previous life. He was a famous nobleman in the empire. Although he looked wretched, he was actually a nice person. He liked to watch violent and strong fighters, and he even made friends with quite a few of them."

Lin Zhen was able to learn about the betting situation through Chris. Shangguan Jiao actually bet one million that he would win.

"If I can make friends with such a person, it will be of great benefit to my future plans. So I have to fight quickly and decisively in this battle in the Yuanchang. I want him to see my potential."

The opponent, Landislin, could be knocked down with just a mental shock, but he didn't plan to do that. If he wanted to fight, he would do it in a more shocking way.

Landis on the opposite side had already taken out a long sword and rushed over in one step.

Lin Zhen raised his hand and the Yajiao gun appeared in his hand.

A ball of energy emerged and quickly sank into the gun.

The star power around him was released to the maximum, and thunder was brewing on the spear.

The lightning wings flapped behind him, and instantly accelerated to the maximum, pushing Lin Zhen's body, rushing towards Landis like a cannonball! The power of light and electricity bloomed on the tip of the gun, the star power rose and fell, and the thunder killed suddenly. Under the blessing of the indestructible, it actually tore a long space crack! "Damn! This kid is so fierce!"

Shangguan Jiao suddenly became excited and stood up from her seat.

“Bang!”

Under the accelerated impact of the Thunder Wings at ten times the speed of sound, Landis was unable to avoid Lin Zhen's swift charge, and the two men collided head-on!

The elemental energy exploded like a bomb, shaking the virtual arena violently. Landis was completely destroyed by Lin Zhen's incomparably powerful blow!

It was not a killing, but a destruction. The person was beaten into blood foam all over the place, floating down on the ring.

Lin Zhen put away his gun and stood up, uttering two words softly: "Garbage!"

Shangguan Jiao's eyes sparkled in the stands: "Damn! This guy is so handsome and cool, I'm going to follow suit, I'll bet on every game he plays, I'm rooting for him!"

Today is the second update. In this chapter, a minor character appears, Shangguan Jiao, the son of Prince Shangguan, who is the head of this book (Chopped Pepper Fish Head and Old Duck Soup).
