The Coliseum belonged to the underworld of Luoshi City. It was an exceptionally popular place controlled by the Zhang family that attracted numerous plutocrats and aristocrats. Many people even in the entire Qingyun Province knew about it.
This was the place for those plutocrats and aristocrats to kill time, enjoy getting excited and seek blood and gore when they were too bored.
Despite being called the Coliseum [lit. Animal Battlefield in Chinese], it was not really a place where animals fought each other. The ones who engaged in killing here, were humans!
Bai Yunfei’s eyes popped out of his head, his mouth slightly open in astonishment, his body quivering unceasingly — he had never thought that people could fight each other so brutally.
In the Coliseum outside, two red silhouettes were engaging in hand-to-hand combat. In order to increase fighting time, weapons were generally not allowed in the Coliseum. If you wanted to survive, you would have to use your arms, legs, head and even teeth. Only by making it impossible for the opponent to stand up again would you be permitted to survive. And if you were defeated, this would usually mean death for you.
Those people were called red silhouettes because their bodies seemed to be sprinkled with blood! Their own blood, and also each other’s blood.
A man with a strong bearlike body, thick eyebrows and big eyes was panting. One of his eyes had become a bloody mess. His left ear had even been ripped off and his body was trembling slightly. But his remaining eye was still showing madness. Letting out a beastly yell, waving his huge fist, he attacked a middle-aged man much smaller than him in stature in front of him.
There were many injuries on the middle-aged man’s body too, but they looked much less severe than the opponent’s. When the big man’s fist arrived, he unexpectedly did not dodge. Instead, he also raised his fist, wanting to clash with the big man head-on!
The moment his right arm struck out, it seemed to swell up all of a sudden. After the fists collided, that big man let out a miserable cry and retreated several steps continuously. The fingers of his right hand had bent into strange shapes, and his blood was spurting out. Several broken finger bones even stuck out through his skin!
That middle-aged man flung blood off his hand — his opponent’s blood. He even licked it with some enjoyment as his eyes glittered frighteningly. He simply looked more like a beast that was slaughtering its prey than a human.
The ‘audience’ outside the field screamed in excitement for a while. These plutocrats and aristocrats had completely lost that graceful, distinguished posture they had had outside. All of their faces were red and full of excitement. Their eyes were wide open, afraid of missing any of this exciting scene.
They were also trembling nonstop like Bai Yunfei. But the difference was that they were trembling because of excitement whereas Bai Yunfei was trembling because of fear.
Around the two people in the field, there were various bloodstains, either red or dark. Some of these bloodstains belonged to these two and some others had been left behind by the people in the several previous fights.
On the ‘stand’, there were similarly several luxurious chairs above Bai Yunfei and the others. At this moment, three people were sitting in these chairs, watching the fighting below them.
The one of the left was none other than Zhang Yang!
Acting like an elegant young nobleman, he was pointing to that middle-aged man and saying to the person beside him: “Second young master Zheng, what do you think about this Coliseum of mine? A place that makes people’s blood boil, isn’t it? That’s none other than the most ferocious man in this Coliseum. He’s called Direwolf…”
Beside him, there was a youngster dressed in splendid purple clothes with a face even more handsome than Zhang Yang’s, who was watching the fighting in the field expressionlessly. He slightly nodded, saying: “Not bad. This man is already in the half-awakened state. With just some more time, his soulforce will fully awaken and he’ll be able to set foot in the Soul Apprentice stage.”Despite those words of praise, his expression showed slight disapproval, making him appear somewhat perfunctory as he talked.
Zhang Yang, however, did not mind. He said with an ingratiating smile: “A mere Soul Apprentice of course isn’t worthy of your approval, second young master Zheng. The Zheng family has a lot of talents and experts. How can small families like ours possibly compare with it…”He knew that this second young master Zheng, who was from the capital, basically looked down upon his own family. This time, out of curiosity, this young master had come to the Coliseum in Luoshi City and he only needed to serve him nicely enough not to offend him.
The person on the right was covered from head to toe in a black cloak. His face could not be seen clearly. At the moment, his arms were crossed over his chest, his head sl
