Although Chu Xiu couldn't understand it at all, he inexplicably grasped its meaning.
It was inviting him to enter.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiu walked into the arena.
At the entrance of the arena, there were four statues, from left to right: a wriggling maggot, a stone fountain, a humanoid bird monster with six eyes and eight wings, and a withered ancient tree.
Many blood-colored giants were crawling near these four statues, seemingly worshiping them.
The blood-colored giant that had led Chu Xiu in earlier remained motionless after entering, simply standing behind Chu Xiu, staring at him fixedly.
"Uh... what am I supposed to do here?" Chu Xiu was momentarily confused.
Just as he was at a loss, he suddenly felt a disturbance coming from his storage space. With a thought, a tongue appeared in his palm.
The moment it appeared, the tongue screamed: "Quick! Equip me, you idiot! I can't appear here!"
Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment but still equipped the tongue. Instantly, a disgusting feeling came from his mouth, as if the tongue was a parasite clinging tightly onto his original tongue.
After hiding inside Chu Xiu's mouth, the tongue seemed to feel much more at ease and manipulated Chu Xiu's tongue to speak: "I didn't expect you would actually find this place!"
"Is this the Bloody Arena?"
"Of course, but how did you get here, just from those few hints?"
Chu Xiu quickly recounted his experience, which left the tongue stunned: "Is that even possible?"
Chu Xiu also found it quite amazing, but he didn't say more, simply asking, "So what's the situation now, what should I do?"
"You must choose your Monarch by standing on the altar, where you can connect with the four Gods."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu stepped onto the altar, yet nothing happened.
"What's going on?" Chu Xiu murmured.
"This means none of them fancy you."
Chu Xiu: "???"
"This is an ancient arena established by four Gods. People who come here using transmission objects from the Old World are at the lowest level, generally far inferior to the warriors carefully selected and nurtured by the four Gods," replied the tongue softly.
Chu Xiu rolled his eyes: "Well, I don't fancy them either! So how do I leave now?"
"Win three battles, and you'll earn the gladiator's insignia and a transmission object."
"So how do I fight?"
"You need to choose a Monarch first."
Chu Xiu: "..."
The tongue twisted, "You have no other choice now but to select the second God from the left because you're from the territory of the Endless Blood Pool, so it won't refuse you."
"Drop a drop of blood on it quickly; the blood infant behind you is already getting impatient."
Chu Xiu glanced back at the hundred-meter-tall blood-colored giant behind him without a trace. Speechless, you tell me this thing is called a blood infant?
Without thinking further, Chu Xiu quickly stepped forward and dropped a drop of blood onto the stone fountain.
As the blood dropped, a large amount of fresh blood suddenly gushed out of the fountain, and it seemed as if an eye opened in the center of the fountain but quickly closed after glancing at Chu Xiu.
An ancient language echoed through the air.
Soon, the two blood infants guarding the door moved aside, and the doors of the arena slowly opened.
"Tongue, what's it saying?"
"Your level is too low, being rejected again, the Endless Blood Pool is directing you to enter the Brawl Arena."
"Inside are desperate desperadoes who would crush your skull or their own without hesitation to gain a formal gladiator qualification!"
"However, you don't need to worry too much, as you are at the Warrior Tier, so you will only be matched with Warrior Tier enemies."
Only matched with Warrior Tier enemies?
With this, Chu Xiu felt relieved and stepped into the arena.
However, as he entered, an unsettling feeling arose within him, as if there was something wrong with the space here.
And indeed, it wasn't his imagination; the vast space began to contract at an alarming rate, with the scenery changing as well. In just the blink of an eye, he found himself in a lush, verdant forest, with the massive walls completely vanished. Only the blood moon above remained, occupying the entire sky, casting an eerie glow, like a huge, emotionless observer.
The ancient language echoed through the air once again.
"What's it saying now?"
"Kid, translations come with a fee; if I help you this time, you owe me more Blood Wine."
"Alright, alright," Chu Xiu quickly agreed.
The tongue then manipulated his tongue to twist: "You're kind of unlucky, the Endless Blood Pool seems displeased with you forcibly joining its ranks and has arranged a terrifying opponent for you in the arena."
"This guy has eleven consecutive wins, and if he wins two more matches, even if no Gods are willing to accept him, he can still become a formal gladiator."
"I suspect the Endless Blood Pool is using him to wipe you out."
The tongue's words made Chu Xiu understand a bit. He had transported here through three skulls, akin to some backdoor method.
Not only could he participate in battles, but he could also forcibly require the Endless Blood Pool to accept him. Thus, as long as he won three matches, he could become a formal gladiator, whereas those not accepted by the Gods had to win thirteen matches, and the benefits there would certainly differ.
But the Endless Blood Pool loathed those who used backdoor methods and wanted to quickly dispose of him.
Chu Xiu could totally understand this; it was like painstakingly assembling a golden all-star team in a game, only to have someone shove a low-level whiteboard into it unexpectedly.
"However, no matter what, I must do one thing—win this battle!"
"An opponent with eleven consecutive wins..."
A serious expression appeared on Chu Xiu's face. At that moment, a noise suddenly came from the distant forest, and in the next instance, a gigantic figure, five meters tall, leaped out!
"Here it comes!"
Chu Xiu's eyes widened without the slightest hesitation; the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand appeared behind him, and he launched a punch!
Simultaneously, three Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails appeared in his palm.
Chu Xiu had completed his setup in an instant, as the multi-fold mana output of Golden Embryo Nurturing would generate a large amount of energy fluctuation in a short time, easily detected by those with high attribute perception, allowing them to preemptively prepare and avoid it. So, Chu Xiu only used the ordinary Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand.
This punch was both to probe the opponent's depth and to cover up the energy fluctuation within his body. At the moment the two engaged, Chu Xiu would shoot out the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails to block the opponent's position, while using the prepared fourfold output Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand to deliver a powerful strike!
However, just as he was about to shoot out the Blood Curse Bone-Piercing Nails to block the opponent's movement, a loud "bang" suddenly echoed, and the figure flying towards him exploded into pieces in front of the Frenzied Celestial Demon Hand.
Chu Xiu: "...?"
He looked at the blood and flesh splattered all around, falling into deep thought.
Wait a minute, where was that terrifying opponent with eleven consecutive wins?
He hadn't even gotten a clear look before it shattered?!
And at this moment, a prompt sounded in his ear.
