One of them was betting!
This was why Baldy Qin said that one of the fastest ways of earning dragon scale runes was on the arena! If one was strong, one could earn dragon scale runes quickly in the arena!
In every battle, the challenger and the person being challenged had to lay down a bet.
Depending on their rankings, there was a minimum bet limit.
The higher the rank was, the higher the bet limit. For someone to challenge another ranked much higher than himself, the bet he had to lay down was higher!
As such, there was a very high cost to challenging others. Those who had the confidence would fight, while those without the confidence would end up giving resources to others!
In fact, real arena battles often had stakes exceeding the minimum bet!
The bet amount had to be on mutual agreement.
Sometimes, when two rivals face each other, they would keep raising the stakes till it reached a frightening price!
This sort of battle often happened among people at the top of the rankings. This naturally attracted many spectators.
When Qin Haotian managed to unseat the top ranking person on the Earth ranking, the arena was filled with people. Almost all the ten thousand people or so in the Tai Ah Divine City had come to watch.
Even instructors and law-enforcers came to watch!
“You want to fight with me in the arena?” Yi Yun sniggered. He crushed the bones he was chewing on. A bone the size of a thumb nail was finished by Yi Yun.
Ever since he came to the Tai Ah Divine City, he had not had a real, proper match. Back when he was training hard in the Wilderness Divine Hall, his cultivation level had increased. Ever since he absorbed the Heaven Purple Yang Ginseng, his physical strength had greatly increased!
Now, he had even exchanged for the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. The ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’ was a top compendium that included cultivation techniques, fighting skills and movement skills.
If a saber was not taken out to kill, it would be left to rust.
If one did not use a top cultivation technique in battle, the cultivation effect would be greatly reduced.
Yi Yun had already been contemplating to try his hand in the arena in the coming days. He never expected that people would come forward to be his training partner.
And these bunch of training partners did not need payments, they might even give him dragon scale runes too.
There was no way Yi Yun was refusing such a good thing.
“A group of people challenging me? Isn’t that too shameful… I’ll be scared.” Yi Yun gave a look of helplessness.
“Heh! Now you know fear? Too late!” A man behind Li Hong said with a grin, “Now even if you were to kowtow to Brother Hong, it would be useless. You will end up being beaten till your bones break and will then have to spend all of your fortune on medicines!”
When this man said it, the others behind Li Hong began to laugh heartily.
“Just because of herb-picking, you got some dog-shit luck in picking a half-dead primordial herb, you think you are capable? Strength is what matters in the Tai Ah Divine City. There’s no f**king use if you are good at picking herbs! By offending our Hongdao Association, don’t expect to survive the next six years in the Tai Ah Divine City!”
“You hick from the Cloud Wilderness, when you enter the arena, I’ll let you know the power of the geniuses from the imperial capital’s families!”
Seeing that they had oppressed Yi Yun, Li Hong’s men were all very happy. Some of them came from the Zhong state’s imperial capital’s families. They were born with a sense of superiority and looked down on other family clans in other states, not to mention a person from the Cloud Wilderness.
Previously, when Yi Yun was being arrogant in front of them, they had wanted to give Yi Yun a good beating. Now that they had oppressed Yi Yun, how could they not add a few more slanders?
But… Li Hong frowned. He felt that Yi Yun was not being truthful. It seemed like he was completely unafraid…
