In Tianyi Academy, the nobles and the star-aligned have always been at odds, glaring at each other and constantly in friction.
In the City within a City, not only do the star-aligned like to come here, but the nobles also frequently visit this place. However, the nobles prefer to go to the trading area to exchange for items that are valuable to them.
Of course, many people also like to come to the Prison Arena.
In the eyes of the star-aligned, entering the Prison Arena can temper and elevate oneself. The nobles rarely enter the Prison Arena for combat because they are cowardly and lack the courage and passion.
However, in the eyes of many nobles, the star-aligned entering the Prison Arena for combat is foolish and reckless, using their lives to gamble for elemental stones. Only these commoners would do such a thing.
When nobles come to the Prison Arena, what they most want to see is scenes of the star-aligned being devoured by demonic beasts and killed by slave martial cultivators during combat. Every time they see this, they are particularly excited.
"You must be Lin Feng, right? Because you want to challenge Black Demon, so you want to improve your strength through combat in the Prison Arena?"
Beside Bai Ze, a young man in yellow looked at Lin Feng and sneered, "Don't get yourself swallowed by a demonic beast before challenging Black Demon. Many people in the academy are waiting to see you embarrassed!"
Lin Feng glanced at Bai Ze. This person actually knew him, obviously because of Bai Ze. However, Lin Feng still looked down on people like Bai Ze.
So, Lin Feng just looked calmly at the young man in yellow, then shifted his gaze to the direction of the Prison Arena, silent and indifferent, the best way to counter the other party.
The nobles are always arrogant, considering themselves superior. In their eyes, others must listen to them, or at least, they cannot dare to ignore them.
However, Lin Feng used indifference as a counterattack, which made the young man in yellow's eyes flicker, his smile stiffening on his face, his gaze gradually becoming gloomy.
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear me talking to you?" the young man in yellow said coldly, his voice reaching Lin Feng and the others' ears, but the response was still silence.
"I'm talking to you!" The more silent Lin Feng was, the more the young man in yellow felt his dignity was being challenged, especially when many people around were looking in their direction, which made him feel more and more angry. A coldness emanated from him.
"You're so noisy." Aodong Xue, feeling annoyed, scratched her ear and turned to the young man in yellow, shouting, "Haven't you noticed that you look like a barking dog?"
The young man in yellow's face stiffened. Then, his chest heaved, as someone dared to call him a dog. He was always the one who treated others like dogs.
"And, a brainless dog at that."
Aodong Xue added, with a strong tone of sarcasm in her voice.
"He dares to challenge Black Demon. Do you think you're stronger than Black Demon? What are you to demand his answer? Who do you think you are?"
The young man in yellow's eyes became dangerously gloomy, staring at Aodong Xue, "A dog? Do you know who you are insulting?"
Aodong Xue was completely speechless. He turned around, no longer looking at the other party, lying on the stone chair, his indifferent voice emanating from his mouth.
"Don't think that adding a 'Yu' in front of your name makes you so arrogant. Moreover, even if some people have 'Yu' in their names, they are still just dogs. They think they can swagger outside, but they don't realize how ridiculous their behavior is."
Aodong Xue's calm voice made the young man in yellow's eyes tremble. He, unexpectedly, knew his surname was Yu? Moreover, Aodong Xue knew, and still dared to insult him like this, it can only be said that Aodong Xue didn't even regard him.
Hearing the surname Yu, Liu Fei also turned her head and glanced at the young man in yellow.
Then, Liu Fei's gaze shifted to Aodong Xue.
Although there are countless powerful forces in the Imperial City, those with the surname Yu are still revered. Aodong Xue, knowing the other party's surname is Yu, still doesn't care, it seems that this person is not simple!
"Yu!"
Lin Feng murmured. He had heard of this surname, and not just once.
In the Snow Moon Country, the most powerful force is naturally the Imperial City. Below the Imperial City are the Yue Family, Yu Family, Beast Gate, Haoyue Sect, Cloud Sea Sect, Ice and Snow Villa, and Luoxia Sect.
These eight forces, now, the Cloud Sea Sect has been wiped out, leaving only seven forces, among them, the Imperial City has four forces.
The Yu Family, is one of them!
Is this young man in yellow a member of the Yu Family?
Just then, a loud roar interrupted Lin Feng's thoughts. Turning his gaze, Lin Feng looked towards the prison cell.
In that demonic beast cell, the battle had ended, the demonic beast had been killed, and now, an old man was leading a demonic beast into the cell.
The roar just now came from this demonic beast.
"Spiritual demonic beast, Scorpion Tiger!"
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the crowd. The Scorpion Tiger is a very powerful demonic beast, with a strong defensive shell, as well as the agility and strength of a tiger and leopard, very formidable.
"I wonder who dares to go to the Prison Arena this time. It's bound to be exciting."
The crowd thought to themselves, knowing that the Scorpion Tiger had often been brought out for combat in the past, and many humans had been devoured by it.
"The owner of the Prison Arena keeps pulling out demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators for combat. If the demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators are killed, they still have to pay with elemental stones. Isn't this a loss?" Lin Feng asked, slightly puzzled. The owner of the Prison Arena actually managed to acquire so many spiritual demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators. They fight here every day, and their background is unfathomable.
"When these demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators are first acquired, their strength may not be very strong. Even if they are killed, the owner of the Prison Arena doesn't care much. Through these battles, the demonic beasts become more bloodthirsty and the slave martial cultivators become stronger. At this point, they have value. The owner of the Prison Arena will select some for their own use and auction off the rest. This is their purpose. Just like how we rely on the demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators in the Prison Arena to train and improve ourselves, the owner of the Prison Arena is also using us. They use our blood to make their demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators stronger."
Lin Feng's eyes flickered.
He hadn't thought so far. Indeed, a slave martial cultivator who survives countless life-and-death battles has immeasurable value. If taken for cultivation, they will become terrifying experts, being utilized by the owner of the Prison Arena.
"As for the elemental stones they compensate with, we have to pay elemental stones when we enter this City within a City. Although not many, with so many people here, imagine how much it adds up to. In addition, if you want to sit in the front, you have to pay one high-grade elemental stone per person. Calculate how much that is," Aodong Xue patiently explained to Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, realizing he had been too shallow in his thinking. He only saw that demonic beasts and slave martial cultivators were killed and had to pay elemental stones, but overlooked how many people the Prison Arena attracted here.
At this time, the old man stood in the cell and said loudly, "Scorpion Tiger, a fourth-grade spiritual demonic beast, with a record of twenty-eight wins!"
The crowd gasped when they heard the old man's words. Twenty-eight wins, how terrifying. This means that twenty-eight human martial cultivators have died in the mouth of the Scorpion Tiger.
"A martial cultivator at the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm will be rewarded twenty high-grade elemental stones if they win, while those below the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm will be rewarded one hundred high-grade elemental stones if they win."
The old man continued, then walked to the door of the cell, waiting for the combatants.
"Twenty high-grade elemental stones, that's a lot."
Lin Feng muttered to himself. Twenty high-grade elemental stones are equivalent to two thousand low-grade elemental stones, which can be used to cultivate on the fourth floor of the academy's cultivation tower for two years.
Two years, this is a terrifying concept.
"Using life as a wager, the rewards are also terrifying."
Lin Feng said to himself, realizing that the Cloud Sea Sect is really poor. The owner of this City within a City has a terrifying amount of elemental stones.
Twenty high-grade elemental stones can buy a batch of slave martial cultivators, and can also be exchanged for some good martial arts techniques.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng stood up without hesitation, indifferently saying, "I'll take this combat!"
