Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Bai E's tone was light and rising, "I know."

"Knowing is good..." Any normal person should be aware of the value of the name 'Blood God' in this gladiator arena. A smile appeared on the staff's face, "Now, there's a chance to defeat the Blood God head-on in a four against one match..."

Four against one? Head-on?

"Not interested!" Bai E flatly refused.

Four against one?

Winning wouldn't lead to any promotion.

As for the so-called reputation in this arena, what use had he for it?

Even the charge value for a lucky strike wouldn't increase; it was worthless!

In the control room, the person in charge was pressing an earpiece to his ear, listening to his subordinate's report.

"He says he wants to defeat the Blood God alone, he's not interested in four against one."

The person in charge's lips curled slightly, and a cold light flickered, "Arrogant..."

However...

"Let him be."

It was just a matter of one more or one less offering. The greatest ascension required the finest offerings, and ordinary targets didn't even qualify to be a part of this ritual!

...

Having heard that a match involving the Blood God was coming up, Bai E wasn't in a hurry to leave. He couldn't participate, but watching that fellow's match wouldn't be bad.

It was only after his battle with the Mad Lion that Bai E deeply realized just how great the gap between him and the Blood God had been. Though his speciality level was only six levels behind, it seemed small, yet the special attribute entries included within the Blood God's abilities were probably far beyond his own.

Moreover, after who knows how many battles, his reflex attributes were undoubtedly far beyond his current 12.6 level without any surprise.

Even if he had dumped all his experience into direct stat upgrades, the outcome of that battle would probably still have been a crushing defeat.

Honed over several years and surviving until now, his practical combat abilities were terrifyingly strong. The only area where he might slightly fall behind was brute strength.

With the Overlimit Drive, his strength advantage was unique and exceptional, while the Blood God... had never received even a single dose of Gene Optimization Solution.

Despite this, he dared to face three opponents in this brutal arena?

During the rest period, Bai E had heard this significant news from others. Tonight, it was heavy enough to be considered.

The only thing he was a bit conflicted about was... whether or not to place the 500 Black Street coins from Chavez on the Blood God.

Three against one at the top tier level seemed to have a very small chance of victory. Could he lose all of his savings?

Night fell, and more and more people arrived...

As the news deliberately spread by the arena fermented, almost the entire Black Street and even more people from the settlements outside the city came upon hearing the name.

Outside the city there wasn't just Black Street as a gathering place. The inside of the city was safer, but it also had rules. Those who disliked rules stayed outside the city walls, gradually forming various spontaneous settlements.

Black Street was just one such place closer to the military barracks.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And as more lively crowds from different areas gathered, the tiers of floors above and below were nearly filled to capacity with people.

An unprecedentedly feverish atmosphere enveloped the entire gladiator arena. Those rampant desires, almost tangible, seemed to flow through the air. Bai E felt as if he could see a kind of perverse pink fog spreading in front of his eyes.

[The scale is this huge?]

Sitting alone in the resting room, Bai E marveled inwardly. The resting room could also be considered a VIP viewing platform. As a rising star, he had this privilege.

Unfortunately...

It couldn't be monetized.

Leaning back in his seat, Bai E's eyes slightly glazed over, feeling a bit regretful.

No matter how fervent the worship of these people, it couldn't be converted into charge values for his skills.

Otherwise, this place would indeed be a sanctuary for grinding charge values. After winning each match, he probably could count on a full 50 points of charge income. Unfortunately, it was not to be...

The crowd was noisy, and to overcome the screeching music and the voices of the foolish around them, everyone spoke louder and louder, naturally inflating their emotions.

Where there are more people, control becomes difficult. In a small place packed with people, a slight friction under a violent atmosphere could easily ignite a large melee.

It was nearly impossible for the limited staff of the hosting party to maintain order among the inherently chaotic elements.

As the situation gradually spiraled out of control and his subordinates were anxiously requesting orders, the person in charge finally pulled out the cigar clamped at the edge of his mouth and, with a ferocious smile, gave the signal, "Begin!"

The announcer's voice violently erupted through the poor quality speakers placed all around. For a moment, the squabbling crowds stopped their fights.

"Let's welcome the fighters to the ring!"

Three top-tier fighters in a bare-knuckle match against one!

Your next read awaits at empire

The result of three top-tier fighters surrounding one would normally be a foregone conclusion, but with the Blood God being the one surrounded, things became uncertain.

No matter what, the odds didn't lie.

With odds of 1 to 1.5, viewers still favored the trio slightly more than the lone Blood God.

The Blood God was formidable, but his three opponents were also renowned fighters of unmatched strength.

Bai E laid eyes on the three opponents of the Blood God.

One... was a cybernetically modified fighter.

One was an aged warrior with a sturdy physique.

And one was a lithe, bloodthirsty desperado.

"Hey! Those three guys, what are their stories?" Bai E asked curiously to the staff nearby.

The staff member spoke as if reciting from memory, "That modified fighter, nicknamed Viper, used to be a long-standing winning competitor in bare-knuckle fights. He got schemed against once, lost a leg and two hands, got sponsored by the war guild in the city to have cybernetic limbs installed. Now he's exceptionally ruthless in his moves, and he also has more strength than a normal person."
