Chapter 980 – The Dark Shadows of the Arena
Chapter 980 – The dark secrets of the arena
Xu Chuniang looked at the person handing over the immortal crystals with a smile, “It’s not too good for me to collect your immortal crystals for no reason, right?”
“How could it be? This is my special tribute to the fairy, as long as the fairy doesn’t mind it being too little, I hope that if I meet the fairy in the arena in the future, I’ll be merciful.”
Xu Chuniang smiled with satisfaction and took this small bag of immortal crystals and weighed it in her hand, “Since it’s your filial piety, I’ll take it, I’ll remember you, if I do meet you in the arena in the future, I won’t let you lose too badly.”
The remaining few people saw this, although they were annoyed that the person who gave the immortal crystals was too dogged, they were more afraid of being hated by Xu Chuniang because of it.
Several people quickly made a decision, successively pulling out Immortal Crystals from their bodies and forcefully shoving them to Xu Chuniang in the name of filial piety.
“Fairy’s strength is not bad, in the future there will be a day when she shines in the fighting arena, I had eyes that didn’t recognize Mt. Tai earlier and said the wrong thing, I still hope that fairy won’t share our general understanding.”
“This is a bit of reparation, I hope the fairy can forget about it.”
Xu Chuniang raised an eyebrow, not expecting that her slight outburst to clean up the out-and-out giant would actually have this kind of unexpected gain.
If she hadn’t guessed wrongly, these few people had originally wanted to give her a hard time before knocking an amount of Immortal Crystals out of her hands in the process.
As a result, seeing that it was not good, not only did they extinguish their thoughts of robbery, they also took the initiative to offer a sum of Immortal Crystals, hoping that she would not pursue their previous offense.
Since these few people were so sensible and took the initiative to offer Immortal Crystals, she didn’t bother looking for trouble from them anymore.
After pocketing the immortal crystals, Xu Chuniang looked at the four people in front of her, “I’m new here, I don’t even have a place to stay, do you guys know where there’s a secluded courtyard?”
“There are quite a few empty courtyards in the north, there aren’t many people living over there, it’s very secluded, it should meet fairy’s requirements.”
Another person quickly retorted, “The north side is too far away from the inner field, and those courtyards have been uninhabited for years, and have long since fallen into disrepair, how can we let a fairy live in that kind of dirty land?
I do know that there is an empty courtyard, not only secluded, but also very close to the inner field, only the courtyard is a little small.”
Just quickly, there are other people retort.
“No no no, you said that yard I know, not only is a little small, simply is nowhere to foot, how about this, I will clean up the yard to let with the fairy, I then choose another place to live is.”
When these words came out, the other three people glared angrily at the person who spoke.
Dogleg, this person is also too dogleg! He actually said that he would give up his courtyard!
They were even more furious that they hadn’t thought of such a good solution and were argued over by him.
Xu Chuniang glanced at the person who had spoken and shook her head with a smile, ”I appreciate your feelings, but there are many vacant courtyards here, there’s no need for you to vacate your spot.
How about this, I’ll go to the few places you’ve recommended and take a look first, if I don’t find a suitable one then we’ll talk about it.”
“Alright, the few of us are idle, why don’t we just let us guide the way for the fairy.”
Seeing a few people insisting, Xu Chuniang didn’t refuse, these few people looked to be veterans who had been in the fighting arena for quite a few days, and were very familiar with the rules of the arena.
As she walked, she chatted with the few people.
“You guys came to the fighting arena, how long have you been here?”
“I’ve been here the longest, and have been in the fighting arena for seven months, and Monkey has been here the shortest, and has been here for almost four months.”
The monkey in his mouth was a sharp-tongued, monkey-headed man, and the one who threatened to give up his courtyard and be the first to “honor” the Immortal Crystals.
Xu Chuniang sniffed and looked at the monkey, “You’ve been here for almost four months, how many fights have you had in total?” Monkey smiled shyly, “Not much, just thirty-seven matches, if you win or lose, it’s 50/50, my strength is average, just a little faster.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, “When I was signing the contract earlier, I saw this stipulation on the contract, during the fight, if you are self-conscious of your lack of strength you can directly admit defeat.
If one admits defeat when they encounter an opponent they can’t beat, they shouldn’t lose their lives ah, why do they all say that many new fighters don’t survive the first three matches?”
Monkey snatched the answer, “Fairy, you are only knowing one thing but not the other ah, although the rules written out in the contract are real, it hides many, hidden rules that only exist in the fighting arena.”
“That’s right, it is true that you can admit defeat in the fighting arena, but after admitting defeat, you will inevitably be greeted with a death match, the so-called death match is when two people who admit defeat are arranged in the same fighting arena, so that they will be divided into winners and losers by life and death.”
Monkey picked up the conversation, “That’s why even if we know we won’t be able to beat them, we will still do our best to participate in the fight, because the Immortals who watch the fight have all paid for it, and if the fight isn’t exciting enough, naturally no one will be willing to pay for it.”
“I see.”
Xu Chuniang realized, everything in the fighting arena naturally started from profit, as for the deaths and lives of the fighters, it wasn’t in their scope of consideration.
“Then those fights that you lost, you should have suffered considerable injuries, right?”
“More than not lightly injured?”
The one who had been here the longest laughed bitterly, “The times when I was injured the most, I completely lost consciousness and fainted to death in the middle of the arena.
It was only because I was lucky that I didn’t meet the ones who liked to abuse their opponents in the arena that I managed to pick up a life, relying on some of the Immortal Crystals that I had saved up from my previous wins to buy medicine to heal my injuries.”
From the mouths of a few people, Xu Chuniang learned that they had been coming to the fighting arena for some time now, and their strength was barely passable, but they hadn’t saved up many immortal crystals.
This was because when they fought with others in the fighting arena, regardless of whether they won or lost, they would inevitably get injured, and just the expense of buying medicine for their injuries accounted for a large portion of the immortal crystals they had won.
After hearing the words of several people, Xu Chuniang fell silent.
These people were just like her, all holding the idea of wanting to earn Immortal Crystals before they came to the fighting arena to fight for their lives.
But the truth was, they had signed a contract with the fighting arena, lost some of their freedom, and constantly fought for their lives against other people without saving many immortal crystals.
A few of them were still considered to be of good strength and sank in the arena for a few months, and although they didn’t earn many immortal crystals, they at least saved their lives.
But what about more people, not only did they not earn Immortal Crystals, they also lost a life for nothing.
They are all immortal who have attained the Dao ah, placed in the lower realm are able to shock the existence of a party, but quietly died in this side of the small fighting field.
Several people thought that Xu Chuniang was worried about the next fight and spoke out to comfort her.
“Fairy, don’t worry, your strength isn’t even on the same level as ours, I’ve seen the fights of those C-level fighters, and I feel that your methods are even more powerful than theirs.”
“Like us D grade fighters, in addition to a small number of D on the grade, most of the mix is very general, but those C grade fighters, the treatment is much better, win a fight, at least can earn five hundred immortal crystals it!”
