"What is your role? What role do you play?" Chen Zhou asked directly.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the middle-aged merchant immediately replied, "What use am I? How dare you ask me such a stupid question? The shops in this Magic City are incomparable to those on the Cloud Continent. Every single item here is something you can only dream of in the outside world! So, as long as you have enough Magic Coins, you can go to the Magic City shops to exchange for them, and your strength will catch up in no time, right?"
The middle-aged vendor was somewhat emotional when he said this, because he had been doing this for a long time.
"I see. So, by now, you've probably already wrapped up most of the experts on the tenth floor with your magic coins?" Chen Zhou asked slowly.
"That's true. This werewolf Zhu Feibai only recently started collecting magic coins with me, so his magic coin count hasn't really increased yet, and his equipment hasn't caught up. That's why you were able to defeat him so easily. But the powerful opponents I'm going to have you challenge next are far beyond what this werewolf Zhu Feibai can compare to. Although some of them might be weaker than Zhu Feibai, with the equipment from the Magic City Shop, their combat strength and abilities far surpass Zhu Feibai's."
"Think about it, besides his werewolf transformation and enhancement, what else does Zhu Feibai have? All his other moves are based on that werewolf's techniques, and he doesn't even have a suitable weapon. His weapon is even used to steal your claw. I've seen all of this," the middle-aged merchant replied.
The middle-aged vendor's answer was quite detailed, and Chen Zhou nodded silently, thinking to himself that this murky water was indeed not shallow.
"There's no time to lose. Tell me the list now, and I'll set off to challenge them immediately," Chen Zhou said after a moment's thought.
"There's no rush. Let me tell you something important first. The real powerhouses of the tenth level of the Demon Warrior realm have already formed an alliance, all for the purpose of reaching the ninth level as soon as possible. So if you challenge any one of those alliance members now, the rest will probably gang up on you," the middle-aged merchant analyzed.
Chen Zhou ultimately underestimated the murky waters of the tenth level of the Demon Warrior realm. For now, Chen Zhou could only listen silently to the middle-aged merchant's story and keep it in mind.
"So, to prevent them from ganging up on you, you must first use provocation to anger one of them, making them accept your challenge. At this point, you only need to concentrate on the battle. Once you win, you just need to stand on the fighting platform and wait. As long as you're on the platform, they absolutely cannot gang up on you. That's the rule of the arena; only two people can stand on the platform at a time. They dare not violate this rule, but..." the middle-aged merchant continued to explain.
"But what?" Chen Zhou asked immediately when he saw that the middle-aged vendor stopped talking at the end.
“But if you stand on the battle platform and don’t come down, it means you’re accepting anyone’s challenge. I’m afraid that the alliance will send that person out to deal with you…” the middle-aged merchant said with some concern.
"Who is it?" Chen Zhou asked curiously. After defeating the werewolf Zhu Feibai, Chen Zhou also became a level two magician, which meant that he was now qualified to enter the ninth level. In other words, no one on the tenth level should be a match for Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou understood it this way: even if some people are very strong, they shouldn't stay on the tenth level of the Demon Warrior realm forever, right? Of course, except for that alliance.
"He was a complete and utter madman. The moment he entered the tenth floor, he caused a huge uproar. Almost no one on the entire tenth floor could stand against him. He would attack people like crazy as soon as he entered the tenth floor, but after defeating someone, he wouldn't take their token; he would just move on to attack the next person. So everyone realized that he was crazy. It took everyone working together to subdue him, but no one could bring themselves to kill him. His skin and flesh were extremely tough, almost impervious to blades and spears. It could be said that none of us could hurt him, let alone kill him."
Then he was imprisoned in a cage by the people of the tenth level. They planned to starve him to death, but they found he was still alive and well after a long time. So everyone assumed he was a strange person and just left him in the cage. In fact, all these years, it was the members of the tenth-level power alliance who had been feeding him, which allowed him to survive. Moreover, now, under the guise of protecting everyone, the alliance had occupied the place where he was imprisoned, and there were guards every day. This meant the alliance had effectively taken control of the person inside the cage.
The middle-aged vendor continued to explain. After he finished speaking, he felt a little thirsty, so he immediately went to the table next to him, poured two glasses of water, and brought them over, giving one to Chen Zhou.
Upon hearing this story, Chen Zhou was greatly impressed, realizing that there were indeed people beyond his comprehension.
Compared to this person, Chen Zhou seemed far inferior. If he were to truly encounter someone invulnerable to blades and spears, Chen Zhou had little confidence. If Chen Zhou's attacks couldn't inflict any substantial damage, while the other person's attacks could harm Chen Zhou, then it would be extremely difficult for Chen Zhou to win this battle.
"Such a powerful person, why don't they just take him to the ninth level? That would completely help them conquer the ninth level," Chen Zhou thought to himself. Wasn't the original purpose of the Strong Alliance to enter the ninth level?
"You're oversimplifying things. Since the people on the tenth floor could subdue that person even when they joined forces, it means that person isn't absolutely invincible. They're just very strong in one-on-one combat. Besides, the ninth floor is a very united group, and it would be extremely difficult for one person to enter the ninth floor," the middle-aged merchant explained.
"I see. If they release that person, my chances of winning are slim..." Chen Zhou said helplessly.
"I'm just worried. If they really release this person, I'll definitely incite the emotions of the audience, and then we can all take action to subdue him." The middle-aged vendor thought for a moment and said. In fact, the middle-aged vendor had already thought of a plan, and Chen Zhou was slightly relieved.
"Now that you can give me the list, I can set off to take on the challenge, right?" Chen Zhou said with a sigh of relief.
"That's certainly possible, but wait a minute. I have something here that might be helpful to you."
