Chapter 0257: Aren't I Just a Sitting Duck Then?
Qi Tian didn't leave just because the gatekeeper rejected him repeatedly. He continued to ask, "Please, I really need spirit stones. If I don't earn enough every day, people will kill me."
The gatekeeper sneered, saying, "What does that have to do with me? Leave, now."
Seeing that he couldn't get into the arena as an audience member, Qi Tian had an idea. He said, "Are you guys short on fighters here? Can I apply?"
The gatekeeper scanned Qi Tian up and down, saying, "Kid, looking at you, you're not very old. You must have some resources at home, right? You haven't seen the bloodshed of the Cultivation World, have you? If I were you, I'd send a Message Paper Crane to my elders at home, have them come over, and negotiate with the powerful person controlling you. Pay a ransom, and maybe they'll let you go. Why are you trying so hard to earn spirit stones for others every day?"
