Chapter 43 Watching the Advanced Arena Match! Black Panther vs. Golden Eagle! ...
"My God! So many people! Are they all here to sign up for the arena competition?"
Pei Qing followed Feng Qi through a long corridor and arrived at the venue for the arena competition, where the crowd was bustling and lively.
Feng Qi led her through the crowd to a small door. She pushed the door open, turned to Pei Qing, and said, "Only a small portion of the people who came to register for the arena competition are here. Most of them are just here to watch the fun."
"Watching a show? Do you mean a martial arts tournament?"
“There are few recreational activities in this prison, and the time we can go out for fresh air is also short. Apart from the fixed daily times, there is this arena competition. Non-competitioners have to buy tickets to enter, and the spectator seats in the advanced arena are even harder to get.” Feng Qi said with a smile, leading Pei Qing through a maze of turns to the registration point for the beginner arena competition.
He guided Pei Qing as she filled out the competition certificate and signed the waiver of life and death.
Even after Pei Qing finished signing everything, she was still worried and kept asking Feng Qi, "Are you sure you're really okay? I don't want to die here."
Feng Qi patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, with your current strength, dying would be quite troublesome."
However, what she didn't say was that although Pei Qing wouldn't die, she would probably be beaten up badly.
Pei Qing has high mental strength, but her physical fitness is not up to par, and her fighting skills are too weak. If she encounters an opponent with lower mental strength but more mature combat experience, she may find it difficult to win.
However, there are some things that are better left unsaid right now, in case she gives up too soon. Let's wait until she experiences it firsthand before making any decisions.
As she spoke, Feng Qi turned and left, not forgetting to tell Pei Qing to follow her closely, "I'll take you to the lounge first, and then I'll take you directly to the audience seats through the internal passage."
"No need to buy a ticket?"
"Tickets for premium venues start at 100 credits,"
Seeing Pei Qing's pained expression, Feng Qi quickly explained, "Don't worry, since I brought you out, I definitely won't make you spend any money. Each contestant in the advanced arena can bring one person in, which is a small perk."
It's nothing more than a perk for risking one's life. The prison administrators set up the competition with the intention of watching them kill each other. Not only would the self-destruction consume the test subjects' points, making them less resistant and even more willing to participate in the experiments, but it would also identify the more promising test subjects.
"This is truly killing two birds with one stone," Pei Qian thought to herself.
Upon arriving at the lounge, Feng Qi handed Pei Qing a bunch of snacks. "It's not time to start yet, so stay here for a while while I go get ready."
Pei Qing nodded obediently, sat down in a chair with her snacks, and looked around. The lounge was not big, but it was quite comfortable and seemed to be the exclusive space for each contestant.
Indeed, at Feng Qi's level, and considering the selection criteria of S-level mental strength, there are only a dozen or so contestants in total. They are all valuable experimental subjects, so the prison will naturally give them space within certain permitted limits.
After about five or six minutes, Pei Qing finished eating two bags of snacks and drinking three bottles of beverages. Suddenly, she heard loud shouts outside, as if the arena match was about to begin.
She put down the half-eaten bag of snacks, quickly stood up, walked over, and pressed her ear against the door.
As soon as Feng Qi opened the door, he saw Pei Qing squatting against the door, straining to listen.
"Let's go, it's about to start. The advanced arena is divided into three rounds, from lowest to highest ranking. I'm in the last round."
"As expected of you! Amazing!"
Pei Qing had a snack in her mouth and spoke indistinctly. She straightened up and clapped her hands like a seal, her eyes sparkling.
Feng Qi smiled, patted her shoulder, and pushed her out the door. "Let's go, let's go take a look."
The moment she stepped outside, a loud and intense shout nearly pierced Pei Qing's eardrums. "My God, why are they so excited?!"
Pei Qing covered her ears and shouted hoarsely to the side, as if afraid that Feng Qi hadn't heard her.
"You'll get used to it, this is how it is here!" Feng Qi shouted at the top of his lungs.
She led Pei Qian to the front row of audience seats, explained the relevant precautions, and then left. The contestants all had to enter the stage from the back.
Pei Qing groped her way to a chair, adjusted to a relatively comfortable position, and continued eating the half-eaten bag of snacks.
With no one on either side, she thought she could watch the game in peace, but unexpectedly, a few minutes after the stadium lights were turned off, someone sat down to her right.
She first smelled a light pheromone scent, citrusy with some unknown floral fragrance. This fresh scent smelled particularly pleasant against the backdrop of various pheromones and body odor in the surrounding area.
Pei Qing didn't pay much attention and watched the competition intently from the start.
The first match began with a duel between a contestant whose spiritual form was a black panther and a contestant whose spiritual form was a golden eagle.
Both were extremely powerful and evenly matched, directing their spiritual entities in battle from a corner.
The black panther's spirit form was incredibly agile, moving with lightning speed, tearing off several feathers with a single talisman! The golden eagle's spirit form was not to be outdone, circling in mid-air for a few moments before suddenly diving at high speed! Its sharp claws struck towards the black panther's face!
The back-and-forth was absolutely fascinating.
Pei Qing quietly ate her snacks, watching with great interest. As she watched, she subtly moved a little closer to the right. There was no way around it; the air here was just too polluted. Luckily, a portable air freshener had arrived.
"You're Pei Qing?"
Suddenly, an arrogant yet gentle voice came from the right. Before Pei Qing could reply, she heard the person say something else.
"Heh, Feng Qi's taste is getting worse and worse." The man scoffed, mocking him mercilessly.
Turansen had planned to wait for Pei Qing's reply before continuing to humiliate her, otherwise it would be too boring for one person to put on a show. But to her surprise, the man didn't even acknowledge her!
"Hey, you're really rude!"
She angrily tossed her slightly wavy chestnut-brown hair, looking somewhat exasperated.
"Huh? What's wrong? Are you talking to me? Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."
Pei Qian forcibly pulled her gaze away from the spectacular competition and turned to the person next to her, her face full of innocence, "Could you say that again?"
She really didn't hear clearly; she only heard the person speaking and was just about to listen carefully.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Pei Qing's attention was drawn to the fierce battle on the field. No wonder so many people like to watch it; it's really exciting. She was still a little unsatisfied.
A round of competition is divided into two parts, allowing the players a break between matches. Only after the discussions in the audience gradually subsided did Pei Qian realize that the person had been speaking to her.
"You, are you doing this on purpose?! How could you not hear me? I was so close to you!"
Turansen was absolutely furious. How could this seemingly honest and simple man speak so infuriatingly?!
Pei Qing looked at the female Omega beside her, who was jumping up and down in anger, and was also puzzled. She didn't know why this person was so insistent on talking to her, especially since she genuinely hadn't heard what the person said. With the match so intense on the field, who had time to care about the people next to them?
"Um, could you say it again? Before the competition starts..."
Pei Qing observed the woman's expression and said cautiously, "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen an omiga in all the days I've been in prison."
No wonder the pheromones smell so good. Pei Qing secretly took another breath of the walking citrus perfume.
"Forget it, forget it. It would be a waste of my energy to argue with a commoner like you..."
Turansen waved her hand helplessly. She had only wanted to tease the newcomer to cheer herself up, but she almost got so angry that she died. Was this person her nemesis? Couldn't she see that she was deliberately making things difficult for her?
"Okay, I'm going to watch the game then. Call me if you need anything."
Although Pei Qian didn't know what this person was up to, she was always tolerant of beautiful people, especially someone who was like a walking air freshener, so she wasn't angry at all.
Fortunately, the second half of the game had already started, so she picked up the snacks beside her and continued watching with great interest.
"Hey, you—" Turansen was speechless for a moment, scratching his head in frustration. Didn't Feng Qi say that this person was very curious? Why isn't he curious now?
Unwilling to accept defeat, she reached out to grab Pei Qing's arm, but her words were drowned out by the huge cheers from the crowd. She could only grit her teeth, clench her fists, and wait for the match to end.
Just as Pei Qing was about to pick up her snacks, she saw the person next to her reach out towards them. Did they really want some? She frowned in confusion, then held up the snacks and offered them to the person next to her. "Do you want these? They're pretty good. Want to try some?"
"..."
Turansen suddenly laughed in exasperation, momentarily speechless. He slumped into his chair as if all his strength had been drained, and said weakly, "Thanks, but you can eat by yourself..."
Pei Qing obediently stopped paying attention to her and continued watching the game.
The battle on the field has now entered a fierce stage. Both sides have injuries of varying degrees, but they seem to be too evenly matched to quickly determine a winner. They are both hiding in a corner, panting and glaring at each other.
The change happened in an instant!
A huge phantom of a spiritual entity suddenly appeared behind the contestant who possessed the Black Panther's spiritual body!
A phantom flashed past behind him, and the contestant's body instantly swelled up, his snout lengthened, his canines protruded, and his five fingers merged with the black panther's claws, gleaming silver and exceptionally sharp!
The golden eagle's spirit seemed to sense danger, circling in mid-air and constantly emitting loud cries.
"This is..." "...Spiritual body fusion!" "She can actually achieve spiritual body fusion!" "She's truly not to be underestimated..." "When did she achieve that? She hid it so well..." "Amazing..."
The audience was abuzz with discussion, seemingly finding the events on the field quite unbelievable.
The battle turned in an instant. The black panther leaped into the air, and its fierce bite force pierced through the golden eagle's wing!
The golden eagle was in great pain and struggled to shake off the attack! The feathers created by its spiritual power fell down in a flurry, and its body instantly shrank a size, becoming listless and dispirited. Its shimmering wings dimmed, and it slowly flew back to its master's side.
"Is semi-fusion of spiritual entities really that powerful?"
My God, how powerful must the complete fusion of their spiritual bodies be? Pei Qing couldn't even imagine it, muttering to herself.
"What a country bumpkin..."
Turansen muttered under his breath, casting a disdainful glance at him.
I really don't know if Feng Qi's brain has rusted! She actually chose such a newcomer as an ally. Does she even understand that this supply transport is the last chance to escape?
If we miss this opportunity, everything will be over...
They will all die!
