Chapter 803: Chapter 422: Zhangsun Wu Chapter 803: Chapter 422: Zhangsun Wu The Cui Family of Qinghe might have special resources to enhance the *Comprehension Degree of the Law of Light*, but that doesn't conflict with the Light *Law Fruit*.
Counting these five Light *Law Fruits*, Cui Ze estimated that he could raise his Comprehension of the Law of Light to nearly 1% in the coming years, allowing him to be regarded as a minor genius.
As for Song Chi, he was equally satisfied.
Counting these three Fifth Rank *Void Crystals*, he now held four in total, taking him ever closer to upgrading Chicang's No. 004 Breeding Secret Realm component to the Sixth Rank.
After that, thanks to Song Chi's meticulous and ever-present guardianship, three days passed safely.
On the fourth day, Cui Ze took out a distinctive medallion, upon which the words “Dragon-Tiger” were engraved.
Once Cui Ze explained this medallion's significance, Song Chi learned that it was an entry token for an arena called the “Dragon-Tiger Arena.”
Supposedly, it was gifted by Cui Ze's cousin, specifically Cui Yulong, the prodigious gifted direct descendant of his family.
“How about it, Brother Waking of Insects, shall we go take a look?”
“I heard this Dragon-Tiger Arena hosts betting matches, where winning allows you to earn arena points. These points can then be used at the arenexclusive mall to purchase all sorts of rare items.
“According to my cousin, this arenexclusive mall even sells Seventh Rank Floating Land Origins and Silver Legend Components. It seems to be a joint venture established by the Zhangsun Family and several other royal Immortal Clans, with branches in various domains of the royal Star Sea.”
Upon hearing about the Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin and Silver Legend Components, Song Chi's interest was piqued.
The Dragon-Tiger Arena reportedly had a high entry threshold; only those at the level of Third Rank Cruiser Captains, Zhulu-class Torch Ship Captains, or their direct descendants were eligible to enter.
However, initial entry required an introduction from an internal member. Thanks to the entry token they carried, Song Chi and Cui Ze were able to enter the arena with ease and without hindrance.
As they stepped into the grand hall of the arena, the sheer size of it left a strong impression on Song Chi and Cui Ze. Compared to the Beast Fighting Hall of the Zhendan Court, this arena was vastly larger.
Sweeping his gaze across the area, Song Chi noted that there were at least a hundred gladiatorial stages on the first level of the arena. At that moment, every stage was occupied by combatants fiercely engaged in battle.
The majority were Starry Sea Alien Races, including Eight-Armed Snake Demons. On over a dozen stages, Song Chi even spotted Third Rank Torch Ship Captains standing as gladiators.
The critical point was that these Torch Ship Captains weren't just engaging in cursory trials but were locked in genuine life-and-death struggles.
Song Chi frowned slightly. *Perhaps these Torch Ship Captains volunteered for the matches, yet he still felt a pervasive sense of disapproval.*
*In this Shattered Starry Sea Era, civilizations endlessly battled one another, with the slightest misstep leading to annihilation. Even understanding the simple truth that darkness and light are inherent counterparts, the blatant monetization of internecine slaughter as a business model instinctively repelled him.*
The two didn't linger on the first level. They soon headed toward the underground sections.
Below the arena lay multiple subterranean levels.
They directly descended to the deepest eighteenth underground level. This level contained just five gladiatorial stages, yet all the combatants here were exclusively Fourth Rank species.
What made Song Chi narrow his eyes was the sight on the central stage: two majestic Zhulu Warships locked in battle, both in their Mythical Mecha Forms.
The gladiatorial stages on this level were encased by special energy-isolating array curtains, sealing the raging barrage of Power of Laws within.
Scanning the guest seating, Song Chi spotted dozens of individuals, men and women alike, all of distinguished heritage and refined demeanor, watching the battles with overt interest.
When Song Chi and Cui Ze entered, the guests turned their gazes to the newcomers.
Upon seeing two unfamiliar faces, faint looks of surprise flickered across the guests' expressions.
Cui Ze, seemingly oblivious to this reaction, walked excitedly toward the gladiatorial stages. His face flushed slightly as the grandeur of the scene ignited a fiery enthusiasm within him.
Soon enough, he arrived at the betting counters situated before the gladiatorial stages and placed his first wager.
Cui Ze bet 10 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin. If he won, he would recover the 10 strands he wagered and gain an additional 100 arena points.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side; the Fourth Rank beast he bet on ultimately lost.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Cui Ze quickly placed another wager.
Song Chi didn't join him. Instead, he found a seat nearby and silently observed Cui Ze's repeated bets.
*No one knew how much time had passed, but Cui Ze's face darkened progressively with each loss. Despite winning just one round, he had already lost nearly half of his fortune.*
As a direct descendant of a prominent family and the young son of its head, Cui Ze naturally carried substantial funds on him. Hence, it was clear that his losses had amounted to an alarming quantity of Floating Land Origin.
Behind him, Song Chi–quietly seated–sensed movement. His right ear twitched slightly, and he soon heard approaching footsteps from his right.
The newcomer was a well-dressed middle-aged man who exuded an air of gentleness and sophistication. Smiling casually, he walked up to Song Chi and remarked seemingly without pretense,
“Friend, won't you join in? A small wager adds a bit of excitement. This Dragon-Tiger Arena's betting feature is one of its most popular attractions. If you earn enough arena points, you can exchange them for items like Seventh Rank Floating Land Origins, Silver Legend Components, and even Fifth Rank Void Crystals…”
