The orc capital, Zuma City.
Perhaps because of the lack of strong battles, Zuma City is more lively than usual. On the bustling streets, elites of all ethnic groups from all over the world are piled up in the streets and alleys. There are many young faces on the streets, and their faces are full of vigor. , with a little courage of a newborn calf.
Perhaps because of the popularity brought by the Shaoqiang War, the business of the store has also increased by 30 to 40% compared to usual.
A large circular arena stands in the center of Zuma City. It has been a landmark building in Zuma City for thousands of years, and it is also the venue for the life-and-death battles of the young and strong of the Orc Empire.
The entire circular arena is full of the heavy atmosphere of history. Although it has undergone many renovations, the arena is still mottled. It has witnessed countless battles over the long years, life and death, despair and glory, scene after scene. Tragic comedy is grandly staged here.
The blood of the orcs is full of fighting factors. The saliva of the Grand Arena is to satisfy the glory in the hearts of the orcs, the glory that belongs to the strong. On the field, they can get everything, cheers, applause, fame, and honor. , money, women, power...
This is different from humans. Human nobles often send warriors to fight duels, but their purpose is mostly for fun.
Of course, the glory of the strong does not only belong to the orcs, but all races, including monsters and elves, as long as you are under the age of twenty-five, you can participate in this glorious battle.
In a box in the Grand Colosseum, this is the place where you can enjoy the most exciting games. Of course, this box is not something ordinary people can sit in, even if they are rich, but this pair of gold family among the orcs must Miss Lan didn't have any difficulty.
Moran sat there with Ron, Tieshan, Aojiao and others. Except for Moran, the other three were contestants in this competition. There are three other people, namely Xiao Yudian, Kay and Basara. Originally, they were not qualified to sit here, but at Ron's insistence, Moran could only accept it.
"Brother Ron, look, there are a lot of people—" Xiao Yudian looked out on the railing, she was wearing a light purple dress today, she looked very cute, her face was full of excitement, and there was a hint of girlishness Innocence, Bashara also dressed in festive finery.
Ron also stood there looking out. Looking down, he could have a panoramic view of the arena. In the players' lounge, he saw many strong young men, many of whom already possessed impressive strength at a young age. , Seeing this scene, Ron couldn't help but marvel, there are still a lot of geniuses in this world.
At this time, Moran pushed open the door of the private room and came in, glanced at everyone and said, "Ron, Tieshan, and Aojiao, I have already signed up for you. After a while, you will go to the preliminaries, you know?"
"There are still preliminaries?" Ron frowned.
"Of course, there are so many people who signed up!" Moran glanced at him and said loudly, "You are all young and strong, one in a hundred, don't tell me that you can't even pass the preliminaries!"
"Of course that's impossible!" Aojiao sat on one side, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and said proudly, this is the treatment only available in the VIP box. After Ron glanced over without any emotion, he restrained himself a little.
"I hope so!" Moran nodded and said, "I won't sit here anymore. Grandpa is here, and I'm going to accompany him..." She glanced at Ron and reminded, "Ron, cherish the opportunity!"
"Got it!" Ron said expressionlessly. He knew that the grandfather Moran was talking about was Li Jia, the God of War of the Tauren clan.
Moran nodded, turned and left.
Basara had a hint of worry in her eyes. She walked up to Ron and said softly, "Ron, although this battle is a life-and-death battle, you can surrender on the field. If you can't beat it, don't Barely…”
"No!" Ron shook his head and said quietly, "Basara, do you think I still have a chance to choose?"
"This—" Basara was momentarily at a loss for words.
Ron knew very well that this young battle was his last chance. If he surrendered, it would be no different from dying in battle. The Orc Empire could no longer tolerate him.
Instead of surrendering and being executed by Moran, it is better to fight. This is the decision Ron has made before coming.
"Dong dong dong—" After a while, the waiter from the Grand Arena knocked on the door and came in.
"May I ask who are Mr. Ron, Mr. Iron Mountain and Mr. Proud Horn?"
After the three answered, the waiter took out a sign from his pocket, "This is your number plate, please take it well, and report to the competition office later to participate in the preliminaries..."
The three of Ron each took their own cards, among which Iron Mountain was No. 16, Ron was No. 98, and Proud Horn was No. 156.
"Brother Ron, come on!" Xiao Yudian said.
"Ron, don't die!" Basara said worriedly.
"Hope you come back with a place!" Kay said.
With everyone's encouragement and blessings, Ron left the box and went to the competition place.
In the box, Ron saw the players participating in the competition with him. There were many players in the preliminaries, and Ron's number was at the back. It took him a long time to play, so he could only wait quietly.
In the big arena outside, bursts of cheers, exclamations and applause were heard endlessly, and the atmosphere was very intense.
"It must be a good fight..." thought Ron.
Ron would really like to watch them fight if he could, but he's a player, so he can only stay in the players' lounge.
Waiting is the most boring thing, Ron couldn't help but startled.
But judging from the voices outside, the game was going on very quickly, and it should be his turn soon.
"Hey, brother, let's talk a few words?" At this time, a young human swordsman approached with a smile and greeted him.
"Hello!" Ron nodded politely.
"Hello, my name is Ham..." The human swordsman named Ham introduced himself and sat down beside him.
He looked at Ron carefully, then smiled, "Are you human too?"
"Yes!" Ron nodded.
"Hehe, that's right, I'm human too!" Hamm cheered up, as if he had started a chatterbox, "Are you also here to try your luck?"
"Trying luck?" Ron was a little strange. The battle of the young and strong is a battle of life and death, so there is such a thing as luck
"Brother, what's the matter with that luck?" Ron became humble.
"Hehe, you haven't heard of it?" Hamm was a little proud, "I think you're a nice person, so I'll tell you..."
"Based on my experience from participating in two small-strong battles, in fact, the small-strong battle is a battle of chance. Since it is randomly drawn and matched freely, before the game, you don't even know your Who the opponent is, so it's all about luck..." explained Hamm.
"I see..." Ron nodded, "If you meet a weak opponent, it will be easy to pass the preliminaries!"
"That's right!" Hamm said excitedly, "If I'm lucky and keep running into weaker opponents, then I'll be developed..."
"Ron, do you know? There was once a human being who made it to the top ten because of luck, the top ten..." The rewards for the top ten are also very impressive, and Ham's eyes showed a fiery color, But he knew in his heart that with his strength, it was impossible to reach the top ten.
Ron frowned, "According to what you're saying, is it just luck for humans to make it to the top ten? Don't they make it to the top ten because of their strength?"
"Humans make it to the top ten based on their strength?" Hamm glanced at Ron in astonishment. "Brother, don't you have a fever? How can human beings make it to the top ten? Unless it's just luck."
Hamm said with certainty.
Ron frowned, "Aren't there any powerful people among human beings?"
"Of course, there are strong people among human beings!" Hamm said with a smile, "But brother Ron, don't forget what kind of competition this is. Three... no... you are twenty-five years old, do you think it is possible for us humans to defeat those races with extremely perverted talents at the same age?"
"The top ten rankings in the previous Shaoqiang wars have been monopolized by monsters, orcs, and elves. In fact, the Shaoqiang wars are the stage for their higher races to perform. We humans, haha, are not popular at all..." Hamm laughed at himself. said.
"Some of those highly gifted monsters are born master-level powerhouses. Do you think we humans can compare with them?"
Ron was silent, he knew what Hamm said was the truth.
As he said that, he pointed to a large group of human beings who participated in the competition, and said softly, "Ron, don't look at the number of human beings who have signed up. In fact, they are just like me, they are here to try their luck. I can tell you Bet, as long as those guys see that their opponent is an orc or a monster, they will immediately abstain from the game, and they won't even play the game. Believe it or not... "
It was only then that Ron suddenly realized, no wonder the game went on so fast, so everyone abstained.
"Hehe, of course, sometimes if you are unlucky, you will encounter a duel between monsters and monsters in the qualifiers, and that will be wonderful..." Hamm was fascinated, "I remember that in the last session, the strength of both sides can win the championship." The top three monsters of Shaoqiang fought a thrilling decisive battle in the preliminaries. One of the monsters lost and withdrew from the competition. In this case, there will be another one in the top ten... "
"It would be great if we met human beings. In this case, the chances of getting the ranking will be greatly increased!" Hamm smiled, "But in general, it is still possible to be in the top ten, and it is impossible to be in the top five. No matter how lucky you are , still need some strength..."
Ron finally understood some common sense about the competition system, and there were some things that Moran hadn't told him at all.
"By the way, brother Ron, what's your occupation?" Hamm asked with a smile, he couldn't tell his occupation from Ron's attire.
"I am a necromancer!"
"..."
Hamm was speechless for a while, thinking that it was a strange thing to see today, a necromancer who couldn't even defeat ordinary humans actually came to participate in the young strong battle? Want to try your luck? Is it just to show your face in front of everyone
At this time, a voice sounded in the venue.
"Now invite contestant No. 13 and No. 167 to enter..."
"It's my turn!" Player Ham stood up, and Ron saw that he was holding a number plate with the words "167" in his hand.
"I hope I'm lucky. Don't run into opponents of those perverted races. The first round of qualifiers is better than being eliminated!" Hamm said with a wry smile.
Ron also stood up and nodded, "Come on!"
