On the Gladiatorial Arena!
Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian were currently fighting a couple of similar skill levels, and the battle was incredibly intense.
In reality, Qin Hao was holding back; otherwise, he would have been defeated instantly.
The reason for releasing water was because Cross had personally reminded him.
It has been six months since Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian were released from prison.
During these six months, Qin Hao never held back, unless he encountered someone whose cultivation level was a grade higher than his own.
It's because he can almost instantly kill anyone.
So Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian became famous, known as the "Instant Killer Couple".
That's why Cross met with Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian alone last night.
He just mentioned one thing: he asked Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian to go easy on them and not kill them instantly, because if they killed them instantly, the audience wouldn't have anything to watch and would be angry.
Although Cross said that, his real purpose was not at all about whether the audience enjoyed the show.
To put it bluntly, it's all setting the stage for something: having Qin Hao hold back, then pretending to have a very difficult victory against the opposing couple.
Anyway, the battle is today's battle.
Cross said they only had one fight today, and their only task was to keep fighting until both sides were exhausted.
Qin Hao understood immediately.
To put it bluntly, they've been fighting in the Gladiatorial Arena for six months now, and adding the previous two months, Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian have been here for eight months in total.
Of those eight months, I rested for four months and fought for four months.
Qin Hao naturally understood the rules of this Gladiatorial Arena.
It's very simple: once you're in the Gladiatorial Arena, it's either win or lose.
Of course, there is one exception: a draw.
What is a draw? It means that the battle continues until both sides are exhausted and have no strength left to fight. That is when it is considered a draw.
The spectators who placed bets neither won nor lost, so under these circumstances, they would naturally agree with the verdict.
Both sides can survive.
In one of the matches, Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian faced off against a couple who were both at the Martial King Tenth Tier. One of them was a Golden-Horned Flood Python of the Beastification-Type, and the other was a Law of Ice-Type.
Their talent level should be quite high, and their cultivation level is also a whole level higher than Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian, ten ranks higher.
In this battle, Qin Hao fought desperately, and only then did he and his opponent exhaust each other's magical power.
At the last moment, both sides were too weak, so they used an Ice Seal spell on each other, freezing them and causing them to faint.
Qin Hao thought he and Liu Qianqian were going to die there, but when they woke up, they were in their bedroom, both of them perfectly fine.
In fact, the reason he was able to stay was because Cross appreciated his talent and decided to keep him; otherwise, he might have really been gone.
This time, because Cross himself came to say it, it means that the opponent's strength is definitely inferior to his own, and that he could kill them instantly.
Then he said it had to be to the point where the Spiritual Power was completely exhausted, so Qin Hao kept holding back, letting the opponent exhaust all their Spiritual Power.
This battle appeared to be very exciting on the surface, because it was very rich in detail, and it felt like the two sides were evenly matched.
After fighting for half a day, the opponent's Spiritual Power finally ran out.
Of course, Qin Hao is different; Liu Qianqian only has a little Spiritual Power left because she hasn't used her skills much.
Qin Hao felt that he had only used up about half of his energy, because he had more laws and stored more Spiritual Power.
Of course, it was also because of his strong strength that he didn't expend much Spiritual Power.
Remember last time, Qin Hao gave it his all, but he only lasted for 6 hours before he was exhausted.
After holding back for another half hour, the opponent's Spiritual Power was finally exhausted, and they released their last control skill, the Earth Prison, which trapped Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian.
Of course, Qin Hao also secretly used Ice Seal on Liu Qianqian to freeze the opponent as well.
And so, until the skill's effect wore off, both of them fell into a coma.
At that moment, the announcement came over the loudspeaker. "The Red Team and the Blue Team have tied!"
As soon as the broadcast ended, several Minotaur with healing abilities arrived and then sent both parties to the couple's prison.
Of course, Qin Hao and Liu Qianqian were faking it, so they didn't receive any treatment and woke up immediately.
Through this battle, Qin Hao began to doubt whether the last major battle had actually ended in a draw.
Or perhaps, like this time, the opponent was warned by Cross that the game should end in a draw.
Over this period of time, Qin Hao's strength has increased to the Martial Marquis Tenth Rank, while Qianqian is at the Martial General Tenth Rank.
This is not like the Martial Marquis Tenth Rank or Martial General Tenth Rank on Blue Star.
To be honest, if Qin Hao were to go to Blue Star now, he would be equivalent to Martial Venerable Tenth Rank, while Liu Qianqian would be equivalent to Martial Grandmaster Fifth Stage.
Eight months have passed now. If we can just wait another four months, the system will be successfully upgraded.
Then I'll be able to return to Blue Star. It's been so long since I've been Blue Star; I wonder how it is now.
Qin Hao gazed at the sky outside the iron bars, his face revealing a deep longing for home.
Seeing this, Liu Qianqian also came over and hugged Qin Hao from behind.
However, at this time, Blue Star was in complete chaos.
The Five Great Nations Alliance of Meifulia, England, Oluoke, and Fatemixius, along with the Island Nation and numerous other countries, are targeting China.
China was in dire straits at this time, because all the countries were pressuring China to bring out the genius Qin Hao and withdraw from the Five Great Nations Alliance.
This was intolerable, so a battle ensued.
This battle resulted in heavy casualties.
Of the eight Martial Grandmasters who were the only ones in China—Dai Jun, Zhang Xingtian, Li Danfeng, Luo Tian, Song Xing, Han Fei, Lei Wu, and Bai Bing—Lei Wu and Song Xing perished, while the others were all seriously injured.
Dai Jun's cultivation has been destroyed, and he is now a cripple. Zhang Xingtian lost one hand and one foot and was injured by Life Abilities, so he cannot be restored by Spirit Liquid unless a powerful being of the Life Law removes the restrictions.
Li Danfeng Luo Tian Han Fei were barely alive when they were finally rescued by Bai Bing and the Little Qilin.
Bai Bing wasn't in much better shape. Her beautiful face had been disfigured by a Life-Type Martial Sect from Oluoke, and similarly, it couldn't be restored without the intervention of a Life-Type expert.
The Little Qilin fared even worse. It had finally grown up a bit, gained intelligence, and its strength had reached the Martial Sect Tenth Rank.
Unfortunately, he was not yet Martial Venerable. Under the siege of nearly 50 Martial Sect Grandmasters, in order to save Bai Bing, he completely broke free of some of his shackles and reached the cultivation level of Martial Venerable.
They killed nearly 25 Martial Sect and severely injured all the remaining Martial Sect.
However, since the shackles were forcibly removed, after launching an attack, the Little Qilin regressed again and became an infant.
Fortunately, because of the Little Qilin's attack, everyone escaped, China avoided a disaster.
