35 Yimu; Fight, Start! (1/2)
Three days have passed since Da long held the boat building competition and rewarded the winners.
Adding his final touches, Da long sent out the alerts for the start of the martial arts competition. He had taken care of arranging 500 arenas for the women to fight; each one would house two fighting women at once. Since it was highly likely that many more women would show up for this than for the boat building, he was trying to calculate the time it would take to finish the whole thing. The time inside the little worlds was much slower than the outside world, so in the end there was no worry.

He had erected a massive colosseum where at least 10 million women could sit comfortably. In the center was 500 small arenas separated from each other by roughly 10 feet.
Different than before, rather than voting; the women were allowed to bet on the competitors. They were allowed to bet with anything they owned, although it would transact through the system. This includes martial arts they had learned, GP, physical money/jewelry and so on.
Their return would reflect the amount of risk they took on their bets.
The current Martial Arts offered for missions were as follows from lowest quality to highest: Dragon Art, Noble Dragon Art, Immortal Dragon Art, Holy Dragon Art, Divine Dragon Art, and Godly Dragon art.
If the woman placed a risky bet using their own Martial arts, winning would upgrade their base. For example, they could go from the base Dragon Art to Noble or Immortal with some luck. Women without cultivation bases would do best to bet GP that they had earned from completing business related missions.
Satisfied with the system, Da long locked it into the system and began activating the portals directly to the colosseum.
Within two minutes, thousands of women began flowing into the colosseum. The competitors were given priority, so only once all the women possessing a competition pass would the spectators be allowed in. These spectators would most likely be women who didn't make the cut for Peak Body Realm.
It took roughly 2 hours for the 1.3 million contenders to funnel into the colosseum. Only then did the stands begin filling up until the seats were filled. While each of these women didn't need to show up as they could just watch the live viewing; they preferred the warm and excited atmosphere set by the venue.
This time around, Da long acted as the overseeing judge for the competitors. He would act to both protect them and to declare the winners. This was an easy task for him since the colosseum was set in his little world which is under his full control.
1,000 women stepped out from inside the colosseum and surrounded the mass of rings. Directly at the center was Da long with him normal genial smile.
Addressing the contenders and the crowd he said in a voice that resonated into all the women's ears: ”Welcome to our first Martial Arts competition. Today, he have 1.3 million fighters who will showcase the best of their talents and skills in the ring. This said, only the top 1,000 fighters will be allowed to join my Main ship as the crew. Each participant will receive a badge indicating their overall rank in the competition and an equal amount of GP and XP.”
Waving his arm, a massive list appeared in the sky with 1,000 corresponding names. ”The matching have already been made in an attempt to keep fairness. This means that there is virtually no chance that a Peak Body Realm fighter will be matched against a Transcendent Realm fighter. These Body Realm v. Transcendent matchups will only happen when there is no available opponents at the same cultivation level.”
”Now, let's begin. The competitors are allowed to bet just like the viewers and audience. You may bet on yourself, but not your direct opponent. You are allowed to bet on any other competitor you are not directly facing however. Please step into the platforms according to your numbers.”
With a loud hussle, the 1,000 women began jumping into their rings and facing their opponent. ”Remember, this is not a fight to the death or to harm your sisters. While accidents can happen, I will be able to tell if there is malicious intent. That being said, I am here to protect you, so there is no need to hold back as long as you don't seek to kill.”
Nodding, each of the women bowed to him, the to their opponents before taking up a fighting stance.
Nodding, Da long waved his arm and said, ”Start!”

[Fight one]
So many women had shown up so far that no one really knew who any of them were. That being said, this was the perfect opportunity to gather a following and profit heavily at the same time. For most of the competitors, this was more than enough reason to stick their necks even without the enticement to spend more time with Da long.
Many of the stages were split 50/50 or 45/55 on the betting an viewership. Since the girls were unknown outside their immediate friend group, they got random viewership.
The girl who currently had the most viewers was named Yimu. She currently had 75,041 viewers and had received an astounding 67% of the bets in her match. Most of the betters and viewers had checked out her profile first and compared her achievements and badges to the other girl. Neither girl knew this however, since they wouldn't look at their live viewership as the match was starting.
