Chapter 1049
Meteorite System, Too Overpowered!
In the stands.
The crowd erupted in noise again.
"Wow, I didn't expect that number three would be so domineering in the mental realm as well!"
"Indeed, such a powerful Dharma form is hard to find anywhere."
"The meteorite system is simply too overpowered. It can both attack and defend. It seems like there's no way to deal with this kind of Dharma form?"
"If you're above the mid-level challenger level, this Dharma form still has its drawbacks because it's too materialized, so it consumes a lot of energy. But if you're a mid-level challenger, as long as you get through the early stages and drag the opponent into the late stages, you can fight each other and force the opponent to only defend, then you'll have an opportunity to take advantage of them."
"Yes... no Dharma Form is perfect. It can only be said that the meteorite-type Dharma Form, while taking into account defense, also has good offensive means, making it a relatively powerful Dharma Form."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Number Three will probably be promoted to a mid-level challenger today!"
"For beginner challengers, it's best to win consecutive battles. Once you reach the intermediate challenger level, you can fight one battle and then rest for one. However, you'll still need to spend 500 gold coins to enter again next time. So you need to win two consecutive battles to break even and three to make a profit."
"It seems like making money in the fighting arena isn't so easy!"
"Isn't that right? I've calculated everything for you. You're amazing, aren't you? But if you fight three battles in a row, you might not be so amazing anymore. The consumption of Dharma Form is huge. It's not easy to withstand three battles in a row."
"..."
Everyone saw hope in Number Three for advancing to the intermediate challenger level.
They all placed their bets on number three.
Inside Chen Ye's room, a waiter pushed open the door and entered, carrying a huge tray filled with a full 1,120 gold coins, which he handed to Chen Ye.
"These are the chips you received after winning this bet. Please keep them safe."
Chen Ye smiled slightly and, with a wave of his hand, put the 1,120 gold coins into the spatial ring of [Infinite City].
"We're in luck this time. Number three didn't disappoint me at all; we're definitely going to win this match."
With Chen Ye's hearing, he could even hear the voices of everyone in the audience outside clearly.
This is how I practice the suona to improve my hearing.
Even in Sky City, not everyone communicates using telepathy. In such a lively place, it would be incredibly boring if one didn't say a few words.
Being able to hear these spectators from Sky City offering analytical remarks about the Dharma is of great help in increasing one's experience.
Of course.
Chen Ye did not rely entirely on the judgment of outsiders.
Rather than listening to what these people said, Chen Ye believed more in the scene of destiny he saw with his [Eye of Destiny].
In fact, it has proven to be true!
The massive black aura of the meteorite hanging above Number Four's head still crashed down, mercilessly knocking Number Four out of the arena. Losing one match meant he had to go home.
Next time you come, you'll still need to pay 500 gold coins for the entrance fee.
This is the cruelty of the Battle Arena!
If you want to make money, you must win continuously.
This is true even for intermediate challengers.
There's no need to say much about the beginner challengers; they're just there to make up the numbers.
Playing three full matches is no easy feat, and winning all of them is a significant challenge.
otherwise……
Whether you leave the arena or choose to keep your chance, the entrance fee will still be 500 gold coins the next time you come back.
"However, I made a bet and earned 120 gold coins!"
Chen Ye smiled slightly.
In fact.
If you have a keen eye and can find any dark horses in every battle that you can bet on, then you can reap considerable rewards.
I have tens of thousands of gold coins!
Spending a little over a thousand to place bets is perfectly fine.
But Chen Ye didn't want to bet too much.
After all, these bets all carry risks.
Even with the perspective of the Eye of Fortune, one cannot guarantee that every bet will be a sure win.
If we fail, all those gold coins we bet will be wasted!
and.
The betting odds on number three were almost fully capped. Despite betting a thousand gold coins, my winnings were only a little over a hundred gold coins.
However, if you lose, all one thousand gold coins will be lost.
For Chen Ye, a profit of only one-tenth was unnecessary.
The amount that can be earned is far too small.
It's not worth mentioning at all!
but.
Since we're already here, the 50 gold coins for the spectator seats are for betting. If we can win back 100 gold coins, that would be pretty good!
"Next, please welcome number five to the arena for the match!"
With a shout from the female referee, a figure with a white blindfold, long hair, and wearing a loose Taoist robe, resembling a knight-errant, walked barefoot towards the stage in the audience.
When this character appears, he seems to possess an aura that radiates a unique brilliance.
Chen Ye frowned slightly. With his [Eye of Luck], he could see a very different kind of luck halo floating above the swordsman's head.
There was at least a powerful aura of primordial chaos, as if foreshadowing the opponent's victory in this battle.
However, a black meteorite, like the Sword of Damocles, still hovers above the swordsman's head.
"The simultaneous appearance of these two auras indicates that their battle is evenly matched, and it is difficult to determine a winner."
Chen Ye rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and decided not to place any bets this round, just to be on the safe side, since the aura of fortune he saw was quite extraordinary.
Judging from the signs of fortune, since the two sides are not far apart in strength, it is possible for either side to win this battle.
"Both sides, please take your positions at the stand and prepare for battle."
The female referee's voice rang out.
Numbers three and five stood in their respective areas, ready to begin the battle.
The battle cry soon rang out.
As the game begins.
Suddenly, a powerful sword aura began to solidify around the swordsman, heading straight towards Number Three.
"Another Kendo-based Dharma Aspect player!"
Seeing this, many audience members felt disappointed.
They hadn't forgotten that Number Two was a swordsmanship player who was worn down to death by Number Three using a meteorite.
As for number four, his strength is even worse than number two's. He can only switch to using the mental system of Dharma Form to see if he can win this battle.
As it turned out, a Dharma Aspect player who excels in the material realm is unlikely to be far behind in the spiritual realm. They eliminated number four with a single Heavenly Movement.
The situation became extremely serious.
The sword light from number five surged like a tidal wave, relentlessly rushing towards number two.
At this point, most onlookers were not optimistic about number five.
One of the kendo-based Dharma forms has already failed.
and.
As Number Five, he was merely a beginner challenger, but in the perception of other players, Number Three's strength was already close to that of a mid-level challenger.
This means that the opponent will have difficulty finding a worthy opponent among beginner challengers.
Not to mention the Dharma Form of the Kendo school.
Originally, this kind of Dharma form is not as powerful as imagined. It takes ten years to hone one's Dharma form and slowly cultivate it to the point where it can cut through anything. But this requires a very long time to build up.
This swordsman looks quite young.
If someone reaches the level of the Jade Void Daoist and wields a powerful flying sword-type Dharma form, they could fight against Number Three, and might even defeat him.
However, if it's just an ordinary kendo practitioner, then it's difficult to defeat number three.
In the stands.
Some spectators who had bet money on number five were now frowning, regretting their choice.
"Another kendo major!"
"Sigh, it looks like today's bet is going to be a waste."
"The odds are already quite high, and if you win, you can get three times the return!"
"Yes, in this situation, betting less should be quite effective."
"I bet a thousand gold coins on number five, and now I feel like I'm not going to get them back!"
"Isn't that outrageous? Number Three's strength is visibly formidable! You actually chose to bet so many gold coins on Number Five? You're incredibly audacious!"
"Sigh, it's too late to regret it now. Just consider it a game!"
"This guy has so many gold coins, he can play like this!"
"Nonsense, he's a top-tier merchant in Xuanwu Gate, the kind who earns a thousand gold coins a day. It's no big deal for him to spend a day's income here for a bit of fun."
"Wow, that's impressive! To be able to earn a thousand gold coins a day, this big shot is truly affluent!"
The wealthy man who was admired by everyone was nicknamed Huang Sanliang. He was a very powerful merchant in Xuanwu Gate.
Although earning a thousand gold coins a day seems a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show that Huang Sanliang's ability to make money is still top-notch.
at this time,
Huang Sanliang's face was dark, and he was not moved in the slightest by the adoration of these onlookers.
These high-flying cities are notoriously cunning; they love to elevate people to great heights only to bring them crashing down...
Although this wasn't exactly a backstabbing, it was a blatant act of idolization.
Those who are successfully made gods by Sky City generally don't have a good ending. Therefore, all the masters in Sky City prefer to develop in silence.
However, Huang Sanliang, as a local tycoon, was quite famous and attracted attention wherever he went, which naturally led to these rumors and gossip.
At this moment, his bet is likely to become a laughing stock among these onlookers.
No wonder Huang Sanliang's face grew increasingly grim.
After all, some of the rumors and gossip around them would eventually reach Huang Sanliang's ears.
Although his hearing wasn't as sharp as Chen Ye's, he could still hear some of the conversations about him. They seemed to be praising him to death, but in reality, they were criticizing him.
It would be quite amusing to see a wealthy merchant make a bad investment and lose a lot of gold coins.
At this moment.
The betting market has been closed.
Even if Chen Ye wanted to place another bet, it wouldn't be allowed.
His gaze was focused on Number Five, and he saw that the opponent's sword light was not quite what he had imagined.
"This sword aura from number five is quite extraordinary!"
The sword energy unleashed by Number Five was like flowing water, penetrating everywhere.
The tidal wave of sword light continuously pounded against the meteorite created by Number Three, seemingly endless and able to suppress Number Three indefinitely.
Number Three frowned slightly.
This kendo department feels rather unusual to me!
This tidal wave of sword energy could actually flow out from the cracks in his own rock, constantly consuming his spiritual energy.
in a blink.
Number Three has already used up one-third of its spiritual energy to counter Number Five's sword energy, leaving only two-thirds!
and.
Because of the previous battle, I used the mental technique "Heavenly Movement" to finish the fight quickly and avoid being overconfident. I directly eliminated the fourth person, but the consumption of energy was not small. Now I have encountered a troublesome fifth person, and it will not be so easy to defeat him.
Number Three realized that he couldn't just defend in the battles to come.
The appearance of this number five is really too strange!
They are able to employ unique offensive tactics.
therefore.
Under the watchful eye of Number Three, I need to take the initiative to attack in order to seize the advantage.
The next second, Number Three finally decided not to sit idly by and wait for death. After all, these tidal waves of sword light kept attacking him, seemingly penetrating everywhere. His absolute defense, on which he relied for survival, was now showing signs of being restrained. If this dragged on any longer, and his spiritual energy was depleted to one-third, he would not be able to return to his peak condition and would have to drag his tired body to fight the opponent. All of these situations had many disadvantages.
Starting from number three, a different method was used.
Instead of defense, they used offense.
Behind him, small meteorites began to appear one after another, hurtling towards the area where the swordsman was.
"Number three should have taken the initiative and launched an attack!"
"Yes, I can see that. This number five doesn't seem to be particularly simple either. His sword light is actually able to suppress number three."
"Yes, what kind of Dharma form is this? It seems that these sword energies are like water, penetrating everywhere."
"Number three had already resisted the erosion of the Dharma body with his own spirituality. Now he needs to take the initiative to attack!"
"This match looks unpredictable; it's not certain that number three will emerge victorious." (End of Chapter)
