Chapter 18 - Arena Rankings

With the previous foundation already in place, it didn't take long to add the battle feature.

Soon after, the training arena returned to operation on the Star Network, drawing many members who had been struggling with the lack of trading points.

According to the introduction, the training arena would now be divided into different areas based on realms, starting from Half-Step Acquired to the Innate Realm.

Members of the Star Network could participate in the arena individually, where they would be placed in a ring corresponding to their realm.

The arena was ranked using a points system, and the person who ranked the highest each day would be rewarded with trading points!

For example, in the Half-Step Acquired arena, the top-ranked warrior would receive 10 trading points daily.

As for the second and third places, their rewards would be relatively lower.

Of course, the premise was that one had to defend their rank successfully and prevent it from dropping.

Meanwhile, if someone wanted to challenge a higher level, that wasn't impossible either.

The top-ranked fighter in their arena could choose to continue participating in other arena rankings.

If they remained first, they could earn double rewards!

However, many ignored this rule. Does this mean challenging beyond one's level?

That's no joke. Everyone starts at the same point, and they're practicing the same martial arts too.

How can one leap ahead when they're at a disadvantage in terms of power?

"Oh my God, there's another way to earn trading points! This is amazing, now I don't have to worry anymore."

"It seems the Star Network is encouraging us to improve our combat efficiency, so we've got to work harder now."

"It's not easy to be number one. Star Network members are already stronger than warriors of the same level. If they manage to rank first in the Star Network, they can truly be considered invincible."

"Indeed, standing out among many warriors is definitely the mark of an incredible fighter."

"Come on! The main arena, does anyone dare to challenge me?"

For a while, the Star Network members, who were previously concerned about not having enough resources for training, quickly threw themselves into the arena, ready to win or lose.

The person most excited about the battle feature was none other than the current Li Chi.

With his immense talent, he was definitely considered a powerful figure within his realm.

Now, with a great opportunity to earn trading points, how could he miss out?

"Begin the challenge!"

Li Chi murmured to himself, and then the scene in front of him slowly changed.

Before his eyes stood a young man with green hair.

Li Chi clenched his fists first and waited for the official start.

"Come on! It's time to show everyone my true strength, Ban Kaiji."

"The number one in the Acquired arena will have only one name in the future!"

Ban Kaiji waved his hand, his face full of excitement.

He had grown a lot during this period.

Every day, he consumed pills and supplements, and his rate of improvement was rapid.

Now he had reached the peak of the Second Layer Acquired, which could be considered leading among his peers.

If his father hadn't stopped him from making too much noise, he would have already started challenging his clanmates who had previously looked down on him.

Having broken through for some time, Ban Kaiji was growing increasingly impatient.

If he didn't prove himself, how could he show off?

Luckily, the battle feature in the training arena arrived just in time.

He still needed to hide his strength from the outside world for now, but there was no such concern inside the Star Network.

From today onwards, everyone in the Star Network would definitely remember the name Ban Kaiji!

As he thought this, Ban Kaiji became more excited, but he didn't expect the opponent to have already launched a kick.

Fortunately, Ban Kaiji reacted just in time and caught it with all his strength, but his body still retreated several steps in a row.

Another punch came, but this time, it was too late to stand, and it seemed impossible to dodge.

Ban Kaiji used all his strength and blood and directly raised his fist to meet the blow.

Fist against fist!

This is how warriors fight, and this is the way men battle!

Ban Kaiji thought this, and his blood seemed to surge even more violently.

In the next moment, the two fists collided, and their overwhelming force clashed immediately, causing the air in the ring to explode.

Boom!

Along with the explosion, there was the sound of bones cracking.

Li Chi's momentum remained undiminished, and his fist still carried tremendous force as it fiercely flew towards the opponent's face.

With a loud bang, Ban Kaiji flew backward and crashed to the ground.

"You think you can block this punch? Are you crazy?"

Even though the opponent had fallen, they hadn't completely lost their ability to fight.

Li Chi seized the moment and repeatedly punched with his sword-like fists.

"Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

"What the hell, why does it hurt so much?"

"I admit defeat! I admit defeat!!!"

Ban Kaiji shouted at the top of his lungs, fearing that if he surrendered a bit slower, he would take even more punches.

The battle ended, and Li Chi was victorious.

From the beginning, this battle seemed to hold no suspense it was a complete crush!

"What the hell, have I become this weak?"

Ban Kaiji covered his aching face, feeling somewhat dejected.

Although he lacked much combat experience, the gap shouldn't be this large, should it?

It was just one face-to-face encounter, and he had been beaten so badly that he couldn't lift his head.

If this had been a real battle, Ban Kaiji had no doubt that the other party could have beaten him to death.

"No…"

"It must be the resources there aren't enough resources!"

"My father has succeeded in becoming a master, and it's time for him to give me some resources."

"With more resources, I don't think I can't dominate the arena!"

The first day of the arena's opening passed quickly.

The enthusiastic Star Network members swiftly determined the winners and losers, deciding who among them was the strongest across different realms.

Due to the small number of people in the Innate Realm, it could be overlooked. But the rest of the realms already revealed some answers.

Those fighters who were the strongest in their respective realms often had unexpected combat experience or special talents.

Naturally, this was just a short-term ranking. In the end, everyone's raw power wasn't too different, and battles were full of uncertainties.

No one could guarantee they'd never make a mistake.

But for now, it had already increased everyone's determination to improve their combat strength.

Not only should the realm be improved, but actual combat experience must be continuously honed to be considered a qualified warrior.

"10 trading points... still too little."

"During this period, it's time to level up and improve my rank. I'll move to the Third Layer Acquired arena and become number one!"

At this moment, alongside joy, Li Chi also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Since embarking on the martial arts path, everyone had the same goal to become the strongest!
