"What did you just say, what exactly are the rules here?" Su Yuan asked.
Li Su explained, "In the Red Stone Battle Arena, as long as you can achieve consecutive victories in one match, three matches, six matches, or ten matches, you can earn more and more rewards.
During the daytime, battles are among those of the Lower Three Levels, while at night, when it’s more popular, the fights are at the Shining Star level, with higher rewards.
Winning one match earns you five thousand Cent Star Stones;
Consecutive wins in three matches earn you twenty thousand Cent Star Stones;
Consecutive wins in six matches earn you one hundred thousand Cent Star Stones;
And if you win ten matches in a row, you will directly receive three hundred thousand Cent Star Stones!"
Xiong Chunyang smacked his lips, "Winning ten matches gives you three hundred thousand Cent Star Stones? That’s really generous~"
You should know, although Su Yuan didn’t lack Star Stones at the Shining Star level, that was Su Yuan.
For most Shining Star level warriors, one hundred thousand Cent Star Stones is almost everything they have!
And here, just by winning six matches in a row you get one hundred thousand Cent Star Stones, and ten matches in a row gives you three hundred thousand Cent Star Stones!
This reward is undeniably generous.
Li Su shook his head and said, "It’s not that easy. Here, once you win, others must challenge you unless they directly give up.
And life or death doesn’t matter here—being crippled or killed happens frequently. The people in the Red Stone Battle Arena really love to see blood..."
Su Yuan asked, "When it comes to critical matches, won’t the Bright Light Association make it difficult for people to win that easily?"
Li Su nodded, "That’s true at the beginning, but from the sixth match onwards, some very powerful experts will be planted, and even experts from within the Bright Light Association might step in to break the winning streak.
As far as I know, there are fewer than ten people a year who can win ten matches in a row.
And all these people, except for two from the Twelve Evil Stars, basically end up joining the Bright Light Association later on."
Li Su implied that aside from a few top-tier experts among the Shining Star level, basically only those predetermined to join the Bright Light Association can have ten consecutive wins.
Three hundred thousand Cent Star Stones are just a pretense, used to build the reputation of the Red Stone Battle Arena to continuously attract people from outside to Black Stone City.
Su Yuan nodded slightly, looking down at the two people in the arena who were currently fighting.
One of them was using a spear, known as the Ghost God Spear Xu Hao, with quite a reputation, having already achieved four consecutive victories according to the arena’s screen!
The other was using a hammer, with no detailed description on the screen, only showing "Sea Covering Hammer Liu Kun", apparently a recently entered Card Master in the Western Desert.
"Xu Hao, all the money I’ve earned in the past six months is bet on you, so go for the kill!"
"Stab him like before!"
"..."
The cheers in the arena grew more intense, mostly cheering for Xu Hao, and at this moment, the fight between the two in the arena had reached a fever pitch.
Xu Hao and Liu Kun indeed had some strength, with each move being ruthless without a hint of holding back, both being merciless individuals!
But they only had "some" strength; compared to the level of the Sky Patrol Department, they were far behind.
Su Yuan said, "The Ghost God Spear, Sea Suppressing Hammer... such awe-inspiring names."
Xiong Chunyang grinned widely, "Boss, in a mixed place like the Western Desert, having a big name not only can intimidate others but also grants more bargaining power and benefits if you want to ally with someone.
So basically, anyone with some strength will give themselves a loud title."
Su Yuan nodded slightly, "So that’s how it is."
Xiong Chunyang observed the two in the arena, began to evaluate:
"The one with the spear, although weaker in strength compared to the hammer user, is more agile and his spear mastery far surpasses that of the hammer-using fatty.
No wonder he can win four in a row. His strength is obviously a notch above; he should win within twenty rounds!"
Xiong Chunyang looked towards Li Su, asking, "Old man, what’s your opinion?"
Li Su pondered for a moment, then said, "In my opinion, within fifteen rounds, Ghost God Spear Xu Hao will win."
Xu Hao’s spear moved like a dragon, akin to a myriad of dark, shadowy snake figures.
Liu Kun raised his hammer in defense, but his footing was already unstable.
If this continued, Liu Kun really wouldn’t last fifteen rounds.
As a veteran Full Moon Master, Li Su’s eye for this kind of battle was quite accurate.
Xiong Chunyang turned to Su Yuan and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"
Li Su also looked over, wondering if a master like Su Yuan would give a more precise number.
Su Yuan, however, said, "Perhaps there might be a change."
"Oh?" Li Su and Xiong Chunyang were both quite surprised.
Su Yuan watched the arena, and even without using All-Knowing Vision, his super sensitivity to star power allowed him to detect that inside the fatty Liu Kun, a combination of water and earth star power was getting stronger, seemingly preparing for something.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud...!"
After twelve rounds of engagement, Xu Hao saw the opportunity and performed "Yang Pass Triple" with a flick of his spear, causing the already strained Liu Kun to be unable to defend.
"Thud, thud" after two sounds, Xu Hao’s third spear shot like lightning towards Liu Kun’s chest!
