Chapter 139: Cultivation Slaves (1/2)
In the middle of that cage, the winners live on and the losers die.
It was indeed like on a battlefield.
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, cultivators were respected and admired. Cultivators took cultivation very seriously as it was a way of life. That is why they didn’t hesitate to risk their lives to improve their cultivation abilities. The path of cultivation was full of personal challenges and determination was the key to success.
“What are the rules of the Prisoner Arena?” asked Lin Feng.
“The one in charge of the cage declares who will fight against whom. Of course, he always matches people with other cultivators or ferocious beasts of a similar level, otherwise the battles would be meaningless slaughter.” explained Wen Ao Xue.
Lin Feng slightly nodded. If one wasn’t assigned to fight against someone of the same level, many people wouldn’t dare to enter the cage at the risk of fighting someone much stronger.”
“By the way, if you lose a battle in the cage then death is inevitable but if you win, you can get a massive amount of purity stones. That is why many of our fellow disciples come here to fight and then go back to the cultivation tower at the academy, use their purity stones and come back here again etc. That enables them to boost their cultivation speed to the extreme… of course it is also extremely dangerous.”
“Challenging death over and over again is, indeed, often the best way to become stronger. In dangerous situation, death and fortune coexist.” said Wen Ao Xue sounding solemn.
Lin Feng was stupefied. Wen Ao Xue sounded like he often visited this place. It was hard to imagine that this boy would go to such a place when looking at his beautiful girl-like face.
They were still walking and at the same time Lin Feng could clearly see the inside of the cage from where he was.
The inside of the cage was incredibly huge and the cage which covered it looked like it had fallen down straight from the heavens and trapped the people inside.
Inside the cage was divided into two: one side was for cultivator versus cultivator battles while the other side was dedicated to fights between cultivators and ferocious beasts.
The two sides were separated by viewing platforms. People were free to choose what kind of battle they wished to watch.
At that moment, a group of silhouettes in front of Lin Feng turned around and looked at them.
As if Wen Ao Xue had expected it for a long time, he took out six purity stones of medium quality out of his pocket and handed them over to the man who moved aside and let them pass.
“The price for the ten first rows is quite expensive but they are also the best place to clearly watch the battles.” said Wen Ao Xue. Lin Feng was stunned: “One purity stone of medium quality per person?! That’s horribly expensive! Way too expensive!”
One purity stone of medium quality was enough to practice one month in the cultivation tower of the Celestial Academy, from the fourth to the tenth floor. That wasn’t a low price.
“No, it’s not expensive at all. It’s even cheap. Think for a while, what kinds of people will come here and sit on the best rows on the viewing platforms?” said Wen Ao Xue while shaking his head.
“Those who wanted to enter in the cage to fight and the wealthy who already had a lot of purity stones to begin with.” said Lin Feng.
“You’re right. Besides, if they win a battle within the cage then they will win at least ten purity stones of medium quality. If they lose, they will not need any purity stones anymore as they will be dead.” said Wen Ao Xue. He then pointed at the third row of the viewing platform and said: “Let’s sit there.”
“Alright.” said Lin Feng while nodding. There weren’t so many people sitting in the first ten rows. After all, those who wanted to enter the cage as well as those who had enough purity stones to waste were hard to find.
