Chapter 837 Arena
"Chris, what's going on with that tall building across the street?"
Chris quickly gave her answer.
"Master, that is the fighting arena of Tianfang City, a place for boxing matches."
"The Arena?"
"Yes, according to the information, the Arena is a way to earn points. By winning battles in this way, you can also increase your star level."
"Oh! There is such a saying!" Lin Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Little melon, let's go and take a look over there. If we can participate in the fighting competition in the ring, maybe we can break the current predicament."
Lin Zhen decided to give it a try. At the moment, the dirty tricks of the people in the White Tiger Hall really stumped him. He couldn't sit on the street and practice every day. That was simply unrealistic.
When he called him Xiaogua, the little fox hugged one of his arms with all four limbs and shook it there, obviously protesting against the name and resolutely struggling with Lin Zhen.
Ignoring Xiaogua's cute performance, Lin Zhen took it straight to the arena.
The scene here was extremely lively and crowded with people.
Watching gladiatorial fights is an important amateur activity for the people of Tianfang City. When the people here are not fighting with the endless races, they will pay attention to boxing matches, buy and sell, and place bets. Many people make a fortune here, but even more people lose everything.
If the gladiator wins, he will get a lot of bonuses, and every victory will earn him points in the dimensional universe. High points can also increase the fighter's star level.
It's just that the points here are very few, and each victory only earns a few points. But in Lin Zhen's opinion, that's enough. As long as he can win a hundred games, he can become a one-star warrior. At that time, all restrictions on him will be invalid. He can do whatever he wants, and no one can restrict him.
So even though there are a lot of people here, Lin Zhen is still waiting in line patiently. As long as he can participate in the boxing match, he must win a hundred games.
********* "Haha, Brother Sanhu, look who this person is?"
At the top of the arena, in a hall with a dark rock floor and a white tiger head logo hanging in the center of the wall.
This is the headquarters of the White Tiger Hall. The arena itself is the property of the White Tiger Hall, but Lin Zhen doesn't know it.
On the surveillance footage here, a man is pointing at Lin Zhen and talking to Sanhu.
"Oh! Isn't this the Lin Zhen we are looking for? This guy really came to the arena."
"Hehe, Brother Sanhu is really smart. He knew that Lin Zhen was a stubborn guy and would never give in so easily. He told us to be on the lookout for this man to return to the arena, and he actually came."
Sanhua leaned back on the sofa and said proudly, "This is easy to understand. I have checked the information about this Lin Zhen. He is very famous in the Metaverse and has won the championship of the Star of Divine Punishment. He is also from the Falling Star Lake Holy Land. He can be said to be a child of destiny. How could such a person surrender so easily?"
"But our ban is also very useful. If he wants to survive in Tianfang City, he has to find a way. He can't buy or sell, and no one dares to hire him to work. He can't make a penny. In the end, he will definitely come to the Colosseum to try. However, he doesn't know that this Colosseum is also our property. If he comes here, he will only walk into a trap."
His subordinates asked, "Brother Sanhu, is this Lin really that worthy of attention?"
"Hmph! What do you know? This Lin Zhen is too valuable. He is a Saint-level alchemist who can refine the Nine-transformation Golden Pill, a magical medicine that can revive a person within seven days. If everyone in our White Tiger Hall is equipped with one such medicine, then whether we are fighting against the Endless Race or competing for territory with the Three Heroes Association and the Speed Dragon Riders, we will have an unparalleled advantage!"
His men's eyes lit up: "That's amazing! It means our people have become immortal. After all, we can come back to life after death. In this way, who can be our opponent?"
Sanhu nodded with a smile: "You understand, so we must get this Lin Zhen no matter what. Since he took the initiative to come to the arena, then we should make some arrangements for him and keep him here forever!"
"Brother Sanhu, don't worry. You have set up a tight net. How can I let him get away? Now that he is here, there is no way he can escape from our grasp."
"Be careful not to let those people in the parliament find out anything in the contract. As long as we take down Lin Zhen, we can unify the three major gangs in Tianfang City. At that time, we may not have to worry about the parliament anymore."
"No problem. If there is still room for error in this kind of thing, then Lin Zhen must be a god!"
********* Finally it was Lin Zhen’s turn in the queue.
"I want to take part in the arena."
"Okay, let me introduce you first..."
"There seems to be something wrong with my dimension. I wonder if I can become a gladiator?"
The staff member checked Lin Zhen's dimensional universe and waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay. Our arena is government-run, and this doesn't involve buying or selling. Your dimensional universe is completely suitable for becoming a gladiator."
"That's great!" Lin Zhen waved his hand excitedly.
"Do you want to be an amateur or a professional gladiator?"
“Does it make any difference?”
Now Lin Zhen’s authority over the dimensional universe has been weakened, and Chris knows very little. Lin Zhen has to ask about everything, otherwise he won’t understand at all.
"Amateurs only participate occasionally. They don't get points for winning, but only some bonuses. The danger level of participating in gladiatorial fights is also relatively low."
"Professional gladiators are permanent residents of our arena. You can get bonuses and points for winning. You can sign a contract. For example, if you want to become a one-star gladiator, you can sign a contract that states you can only leave after winning 100 games. You cannot leave here before you win 100 games."
Lin Zhen thought about it and realized that even if he was allowed to leave now, he had nowhere to go. There was no place to live outside, and no place to practice.
It would be better to stay here patiently for a while, and then leave after winning a hundred games. Once you become a one-star warrior, everything will be easy for you.
"What about the people that professional gladiators fight? In what range?"
Lin Zhen had to ask clearly. He didn't want to encounter a God Realm Transformation, a God Stone Transformation, or a Demigod here. That would be basically the same as seeking death.
"The opponents you fight against are random, and there are also restrictions on the levels of the two sides. For example, if you want to know the level of the strongest person you want to fight against, you can tell us in advance, and we will limit your opponents to this range."
Lin Zhen felt relieved when he heard this, "Okay then, the upper limit of my opponents is the middle stage of Divine Mind Transformation. I will not participate if they are beyond this range."
"Okay, I'll draw up a contract for you now."
The staff worked quickly and a contract came out in a short while.
Lin Zhen took it and examined it carefully.
The contract was very detailed, stating that Lin Zhen voluntarily became a gladiator in the arena and obeyed the arrangements of the arena. He was required to stay in the arena voluntarily and was not allowed to leave until he obtained 100 points and became a one-star fighter.
The arena is responsible for his living, boarding and lodging, and arranges opponents for him to fight, with the upper limit being the middle stage of the Divine Mind Transformation.
Lin Zhen paid special attention to the upper limit of his opponent. He was still somewhat confident that he could handle it if it was higher.
Seeing that the upper limit was indeed the middle stage of the Divine Mind Transformation, Lin Zhen felt relieved. He picked up the pen to sign and the contract came into effect.
Before signing, the staff member said: "This is equivalent to a contract to sell yourself, you have to think carefully."
Lin Zhen smiled and said it was okay, then started signing.
Xiaogua poked his head out of Lin Zhen's arms and kept yelling at the staff opposite.
"Haha! What a smart little fellow." The staff member wanted to touch Xiaogua, but was stopped by Lin Zhen. He didn't want Xiaogua to bite anyone again, and now he had no money to compensate.
After the signature was completed, the staff member took a look and immediately took Lin Zhen to the inside of the arena.
********* On the top floor, Sanhu said to his men, "This fox is a bit weird. Xiaojuan's hand was bitten by this guy a few days ago. It is indeed a spiritual one."
"That's useless. The signing has been completed. Lin Zhen has officially become a gladiator. Now everything he does is out of his control."
Soon, Lin Zhen's contract was sent to Sanhu.
Sanhu took it and wiped it gently, and the words on the paper immediately changed a little.
In the middle stage of the transformation of divine consciousness, the word "Nian" turned into the word "Jie".
"Brother Sanhu is very clever. No matter how strong Lin Zhen is, he can never be a match for the God Realm Transformer. As long as we don't want him to complete these 100 victories, he will never be able to complete them. By the time he realizes something is wrong, it will be too late and he will have no choice but to ask Brother Sanhu for help. When that happens, he will have no choice but to obey."
"That's right. There is no problem with the contract. Now there is one more thing. That is, the room where Lin Zhen is located must be designed well. The sleeping potion must be placed in place so that he can fall asleep immediately during his free time. He will not have any time to practice. This is the only way to completely cut off a person's hope."
"Understood. We are very familiar with this kind of thing. We will never give Lin Zhen any chance to turn things around. We are also monitoring him. If Lin Zhen becomes alert, we can take action to deal with him at any time."
"Well, we can't do it openly, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble. And remember, we want a living Lin Zhen, not a dead Lin Zhen. A dead Lin Zhen is of no value to us at all."
********* Led by the staff, Lin Zhen came to a sealed room.
"Okay, we have arrived at the place where you are going to live. This is where you will live from now on. Before you become a one-star warrior, this is where you will live."
"When will I be assigned to the battle?"
"Don't be anxious. It will be within one or two days. When you are about to join the battle, you will be notified in advance."
The staff member left after saying this. The iron gate was tightly closed, making it absolutely impossible to leave.
Lin Zhen sat on the bed for a while, intending to practice, but somehow, he felt sleepy.
