The next morning, a large crowd had gathered at the entrance to the arena. Passersby initially thought it was something novel, but after asking, they shook their heads and walked away.
These martial arts figures are crazy. How can they like fighting and killing so much?
As soon as the arena opened, many people immediately clicked to enter.
Mu Qing's eyes flashed, and she saw the familiar old man again.
Since she had already passed the first stage yesterday, she could choose to start the trial directly from the second stage. After thinking about it, she decided to start directly from the second stage.
Perhaps fueled by a burning desire to regain her ranking, Mu Qing's counterattack accelerated.
The result was beyond her expectations. After using up all three resurrection chances, she only managed to get past the wooden figure in front of her.
Mu Qing was panting heavily, not understanding where the problem lay. It was the same level, and she was even more familiar with it than before, so why was her progress still slower than before?
The old man seemed to see Mu Qing's confusion, stroked his beard, and looked like a wise hermit. "Does the hero know why today is not as good as yesterday?"
Mu Qing nodded. "Please let me know."
"Haha, the trial tests not only external abilities, but also mental state. You seem a bit too eager today, chivalrous one."
Mu Qing then realized the problem. She closed her eyes tightly, knowing that she had been too anxious.
She spoke eloquently yesterday, but how could she not worry that her sect would be ridiculed because it wasn't ranked?
Mu Qing gave a wry smile, then opened her eyes again, her gaze clear. "I understand, thank you for letting me know. Next time!"
After adjusting her mindset, she embarked on a new round of challenges.
This time it went smoothly, and Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief after the challenge was successfully completed. She looked at the five cards floating in the air, took a deep breath, and chose one.
"Congratulations on obtaining the special equipment: Pipa (White), attack power 15, defense 7, can stun the enemy for 3 seconds."
"Great!" Mu Qing couldn't help but jump up, but when she realized that her behavior was inappropriate, she immediately looked around.
Fortunately, she was the only one in the arena. Otherwise, it would be too unbecoming for someone of her age, a dignified leader of a pavilion, to be bouncing around like a little girl.
Mu Qing looked at the pipa in her hands, her heart filled with joy.
The moment she received the pipa, she gained a deeper understanding of its attributes. This weapon wasn't as powerful offensively as her usual weapon, but it offered defense, not to mention special effects. These two factors alone made it far superior to her usual tools.
Mu Qing didn't know what the "white" after the weapon meant, but she could guess a thing or two.
"If it really is a graded weapon, does that mean there are even better weapons?" Thinking this, she was incredibly excited. The weapons in the second level were already so good; if the levels were higher, wouldn't she be able to obtain even better weapons?
With her new weapon and a changed mindset, her trial progressed noticeably faster. By the time the arena closed, Mu Qing had already completed the third stage.
Mu Qing walked out of the arena and glanced at the stone tablet.
The rankings haven't changed much; the highest-ranking player, Western Dragon, has already reached the fourth level!
As Mu Qing was marveling at the strength of these people, she heard Kuanglong shout loudly, "Kid, you've passed the third level, so you should have entered combat mode by now, right? How about we have a match tomorrow?"
Jiang Fengyu had the same idea, "I'll be waiting for you tomorrow!"
The onlookers didn't understand what they were talking about. When they asked, they learned that once the third level was passed, the mysterious old man would probably think the martial arts were acceptable and would start single-player, three-player, and five-player combat modes.
As Mu Jing was sighing, she saw Jiang Fengyu nod to her and leave, clearly recognizing her identity.
If it were before today, she might have felt a little embarrassed, but now she can nod and respond calmly.
After arranging everything, An Ge finally had a moment to check the arena's revenue.
This gave her a shock. In just two days, the arena's revenue was almost matching that of the amusement park.
You see, amusement parks are for the general public, while arenas are only of interest to those in the martial arts world.
After looking at the details more closely, An Ge couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens, how many times have they died?!"
Of all the revenue, points spent on purchasing revival items topped the list, with the highest number of revival purchases in a single day exceeding one hundred!
Since acquiring the arena, An Ge hadn't yet experienced its fun. Seeing how interested people in the martial arts world were in it, he felt a surge of eagerness to try it out himself.
Her strength is improving too fast right now, so it's a good time for her to train in the arena and solidify her foundation.
As the owner of the arena, An Ge's results would not be published. She easily passed five or six rounds using the first move of the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, the Sweeping Sword Style, before feeling a bit strained.
By the eighth level, Ange experienced her first death. She shook her head, trying to dispel the fear of death.
The Nine Heavens Sword Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a divine skill; even though she hadn't fully mastered the first move, she had already passed eight levels.
"After practicing, my swordplay has become smoother. It seems that if I pass one more level, I will be able to master the first move." An Ge checked the time and realized that a night had passed and it would soon be dawn.
An Ge stretched and chose to teleport out of the arena. Luckily, she could choose the teleportation location; otherwise, if she had encountered someone else, it would have been difficult to explain.
After experiencing the arena, An Ge finally understood why it held such a strong appeal for people in the martial arts world.
Since she began cultivating, she had rarely become so engrossed in martial arts. She never expected to lose track of time once she entered the arena.
An Ge thought about the arena's combat mode and decided to find time to spar with Hu Jiu. Since she started cultivating, aside from her fight in the arena today, she hadn't actually fought anyone else.
In Ange's view, the arena is like a holographic game.
"I wonder when we'll be able to play holographic games?"
Upon hearing An Ge's call, Xiao Qi transformed into a white tiger and jumped into her arms: "Didn't Master add Meng Xia as a friend? If you want to experience holography, you can do so in the future when you have the chance to go to the interstellar dimension."
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Either I work hard to ascend and strive to be able to freely cross planes, or I work hard to upgrade the inn. What if the inn also appears in holography after it's upgraded?"
Ange had a premonition that once the inn was upgraded to a certain level, more special holographic devices like the arena would appear.
After chatting with Xiaoqi for a while, it was already broad daylight.
An Ge is not like an ordinary person now; it is not difficult for her to go without rest for several days, but the fighting all night still made her feel a little tired.
She rubbed her sore shoulders and yawned. Although she no longer needed to rest every day, she had always maintained a regular schedule.
An Ge collapsed onto the bed, thinking she wouldn't be able to sleep, but to her surprise, she fell into a deep sleep within minutes of her head hitting the pillow.
Xiaoqi sensed Ange's steady breathing, sighed humanely, and carefully drew the curtains.
