Asura Arena

The arena of the Tianhe Empire is incomparable to the Asura Arena of the Sanjiang Star Region Federation.

All martial artists who have reached the third level of the Eternal Realm aim to become Asuras, as this is the fastest way to rise above others.

Becoming a noble is extremely difficult. They cultivate diligently for decades or even centuries, only to enter the Asura Arena one day. If they truly earn their status and achieve great success, then immense wealth and honor will follow.

In the nascent Cosmic Nation, the status of Asura Martial Artist is not that of nobles, but rather surpasses that of nobles.

People only ever see and remember the geniuses and the successful ones; as for the majority who don't fare well in the Asura Arena, nobody cares at all.

"Lin Zhen, have you arrived?" Chen Fenglie asked from the Dimensional Universe.

"They're here."

With a flash, Lin Zhen's clone appeared in front of Chen Fenglie.

Beside Chen Fenglie were Qing Xu and An Bihuai; the three of them had been in the Asura Arena for two days.

"Hey guys, it's been two days, and you all seem a bit different now. You're all showing your true colors."

Lin Zhen glanced at the three of them with some surprise. He did have that feeling. The three of them had not improved their cultivation levels, but they were like unsheathed swords, exuding killing intent. They were the kind of people who could be thrown into battle at any time.

An Bihuai a wry smile, "What's so sharp about him? It's just that he's been attacked a lot in the Asura Arena, so his nerves are a bit tense, and he's always ready to fight someone."

"Is it really necessary? It's just a virtual arena, isn't it?" Lin Zhen asked.

Qing Xu waved his hand. "This virtual arena is not simple. The level of realism inside is no different from that in reality. Especially during the battle, there is 100% pain and tactile sensation. You can't tell that it is a virtual environment at all. If you encounter someone with super strength who can kill you in one move, that's fine. But if the strength is similar, you will suffer. Not only will you get injured, but if you die in the end, you will think that you are really dead."

Chen Fenglie suddenly smiled, "Brother Qing Xu said his last words several times during the battle, it seems he had quite a few wishes."

Qing Xu blushed slightly. "I shouldn't have told you. You always bring it up to make fun of me."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't press Qing Xu about her wishes. Instead, he asked the others, "So, how's it going in this Asura Arena?"

Chen Fenglie shook his head. "It's not easy to get by. There are too many experts in there. It's not easy to achieve a high win rate. I've played two hundred matches in the past two days, and my win rate is only 75%. It's been gradually improving."

An Bihuai said, "You're doing very well. If you improve by another five percentage points, you'll become Silver Star Asura. Qing Xu and I are in a bit of a predicament. My win rate is 53% and his is 55%. We don't know when we'll become Asuras. You should know that the more matches you play, the slower your win rate will increase."

"Yes, it's not easy to get to a certain level, but then you run into a skilled opponent, lose a game, and come back down. Sometimes you're unlucky and lose several games in a row, and a lot of your hard work is for nothing."

Lin Zhen asked, "How Xuan Ze the opponents inside?"

"There are two Xuan Ze: random assignment and a challenge. Most people Xuan Ze random assignment, while fewer people choose the challenge option."

At this moment, Qing Xu said angrily, "Designated challenges are disgusting. Several times, just when my win rate was going up, someone would designate a challenge for me. If I didn't accept, he would just hurl insults at me. If I accepted, I would just get a really bad beating."

An Bihuai patted Qing Xu on the shoulder. "You're still impulsive. Just ignore people like that. It's not good to act on impulse."

Qing Xu was clearly a straightforward person, and nodded somewhat dejectedly. However, in Lin Zhen's opinion, he might still lose his composure when faced with challenges.

There must be quite a few people like this in the Asura Arena, who use verbal insults to find weaker opponents, which is also a way to boost their win rate. After all, few martial artists can remain calm in the face of a high win rate.

Chen Fenglie said to Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, why don't you give it a try? Try not to pay attention to anyone who provokes you. There are too many trashy people here who specialize in doing this kind of thing. Fighting here more often is very beneficial and will greatly help improve your combat skills."

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement, and the rest of them returned to the Asura Arena.

Lin Zhen arrived at the registration desk, and after being scanned, he obtained his identity.

"Lin Zhen, an Earthling from the Solar System, has a record in the Asura Arena: zero wins, zero losses, zero draws, and a win rate of zero."

"You can now Xuan Ze the battle mode."

Chris gave Lin Zhen a long list.

The list was so long it was impossible to estimate. Lin Zhen saw that the first page alone contained tens of thousands of names, and the total number of pages was so long that it made Lin Zhen's eyes dizzy.

"Xuan Ze random."

"In random mode, the probability of encountering an opponent in the Satellite Stage is 90%, the probability of encountering an opponent in the Planet Stage is 9%, and the probability of encountering an opponent in the Star Stage is 1%."

"Match successful. Opponent: Orion Constellation, Alati. 19 wins, 10 losses, 0 draws. Win rate: 65%."

"Enter the Asura Arena, random map, mountaintop."

The next second, Lin Zhen appeared at the summit of a mountain.

Clouds and mist drifted beneath his feet, the scenery was delightful. The mountaintop was like a fighting arena, with no spectators, only his opponent standing opposite him.

Alati, a satellite-level nine with a high-bridged nose and deep-set eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, Alati revealed a smug smile, "Wow, my luck is really good. I actually ran into a newbie. Looks like my win rate can be improved."

"Then you're probably going to be disappointed; you can't even maintain your current winning percentage."

"A mere Level 6 satellite dares to be so arrogant? I'm ranked in the top ten on our planet. Someone like you wouldn't even be in the top one hundred." Alati drew a golden scimitar.

"Fall down, you rookie from the Solar System! Today I'll show you the cruelty of the Asura Arena!"

Alati leaped up and slashed down fiercely with his scimitar!

This move has countless variations. No matter which direction Lin Zhen dodges, he will fall into the range of his subsequent attacks. It is his signature move.

Lin Zhen stood still, and as the other party was about to reach him, he had a thought and launched a Mental Impact!

"Puff!"

Alati felt a wave of dizziness. His mental defense Sacred Artifact couldn't completely block Lin Zhen's Mental Impact, and his movements immediately came to a halt.

A Gold Qi appeared out of thin air. Now, all of Lin Zhen's elements had resonated with the atoms, and its power was incomparable to that before.

The sharp Gold Qi, like a Flying Sword, pierced directly through Alati's brow.

Blood flowed from between his eyebrows. Alati remained silent, his eyes unfocused, and he fell backward.

Lin Zhen wins his first battle in the Asura Arena!

He withdrew from the Asura Arena, and his stats changed: one win, zero losses, zero draws, and a 100% win rate.

********

Although he was confident in his fighting ability, Lin Zhen was still very happy because this was his first victory in Asura Arena in both his past and present lives.

After they came out, Chen Fenglie and the others finished their battle and regrouped.

After exchanging pleasantries, they learned that Chen Fenglie and his friends had also had good luck this time, each securing a victory. However, with so many matches played, one or two victories were simply not enough to improve their overall win rate.

Upon hearing that Lin Zhen had won the first match, An Bihuai said with a slightly exaggerated tone, "Not bad! Your win rate is now 100%. If you keep this up and win a thousand matches, wouldn't you be able to obtain the title of One Crown Asura King?"

Lin Zhen laughed and said, "Well, if it can really be maintained, then that would be true."

This was obviously a joke, and none of them took it seriously. A thousand consecutive wins is not something that can be achieved so easily.

Unexpectedly, a cold laugh came from behind, "A bunch of country bumpkin idiots, they think they're all that after getting their first victory."

Several people frowned and turned around to see who had spoken so rudely.

When he turned around, a planet-level martial artist was standing behind him.

When the martial artist saw Lin Zhen and the others turn around, he slightly raised his chin. "What? Are you not convinced?"

Qing Xu said somewhat angrily, "We have no grudge against you, why are you saying hurtful things?"

"We have no grudge against each other, but I just can't stand you Young Master. You think you can have a 100% win rate after winning the first round? Countless people participate in the Asura Arena, and everyone has their first battle. Half of them win, and half lose. Out of 100 million participants, 50 million people achieved a 100% win rate on their first attempt. What does that mean? Half of them still fell in the second round, and in the end, there are probably very few who can even achieve an 80% win rate, you idiots!"

"Damn it! You foul-mouthed bastard, you need to be taught a lesson!" Qing Xu was getting angry.

"Tch! You think you're worthy? If you're not happy, Asura Arena. I, this Young Master, will let you idiots take turns fighting me. Do you dare?"

"I'll go then, I'll meet you first!" Qing Xu agreed first.

The two announced their Dimensional Universe Number, then entered the Asura Arena without saying another word.

Lin Zhen frowned slightly as he watched. He knew that there were quite a few people like this who deliberately used words to provoke others, but the other party's words were too harsh. No man with any sense of justice could tolerate them.

Chen Fenglie couldn't help but shake his head. "Qing Xu is in danger. This person is not weak. He is stronger than all of us at the planetary level. I'm afraid he will lose again."

An Bihuai nodded in agreement. "I feel the same way. If Qing Xu loses, it probably won't be of much use for me to go up. Old Chen, you still have a chance if you go up, but your win rate is approaching 80%. It's better not to get involved in this mess. It's better to seize the time to quickly deal with the situation. When he comes again, just leave."

Lin Zhen suddenly asked, "Is this kind of challenge considered a designated battle?"

"That's right, directly asking the opponent for their number is a type of designated battle."

"In this situation, is it possible to increase the stakes?"

An Bihuai paused for a moment. "It's possible, but very few people would do that, as challengers are usually very strong."

"That's good. I'll go exchange some Sanjiang Coin right away." Lin Zhen was overjoyed and immediately went into the bank.
