Floating Light City Center, Combat Arena!
At the entrance to the Combat Arena, Lynn surveyed the magnificent structure with great interest.
The Combat Arena covered an enormous area, spanning more than a hundred li. Its seats could accommodate a full million spectators at once!
Moreover, like Muya Castle, this Combat Arena was an enterprise of the Muya Main God. It had only one purpose: to provide a place for gods to fight!
Even Demigods could enter the arena as long as they were confident in their strength!
Of course, generally speaking, those who fought in the arena were Highgods. Demigods and Gods were rarely seen, since they would not foolishly gamble with their lives.
Floating Light City had been built by the Main God, and the City Lord responsible for managing it was chosen from this Combat Arena.
As long as someone achieved one hundred consecutive victories in the Combat Arena and obtained the Hundred Battle Victor token, they could challenge the City Lord. If they won, they could become the new City Lord!
Lynn had thought about it for a long time the previous night. Apart from simply spending time, he had finally come up with another way to break through the bottleneck of the Fusion Law—battle!
Why did the powerful figures of The Dragon World enjoy slaughter and battle so much?
The reason was simple. During battles against powerful opponents, they might occasionally have a flash of insight, draw inferences from one thing to another, and achieve a breakthrough!
Life-and-death battles in particular could more easily awaken one's potential!
Take Rielmons, for example. He had been defeated in his battle against Aliquin, but Aliquin had refused to let him leave and insisted on killing him. Under the pressure of that brush with death, Rielmons had instead been forced into an epiphany, fusing a profundity of the Path of Destruction with the Flame Law.
In the end, he had directly killed Aliquin with a Fusion Profundity!
Lynn possessed complete law profundities within his soul. Naturally, he would not risk his life like Rielmons and seek out some life-and-death battle!
He chose to fight in Floating Light City's Combat Arena!
Most of those who entered the Combat Arena were ordinary Highgods, along with some Five-star Demons. Six-star Demons were exceedingly rare, while Seven-star Demons might not appear even once in hundreds of millions of years.
Not only could this place temper him, but if he proved no match for an opponent, he could also surrender. With his soul defense and Material Defense, his life would not be in danger!
This kind of tempering was neither too much nor too little for him—it was just right!
"They really know how to make money! You even have to buy a ticket to watch the fights! One hundred Ink Stones each!" Lynn clicked his tongue as he looked at the notice posted on the Combat Arena wall.
There were more than a million seats inside the Combat Arena!
Lynn walked over to the registration window below and said calmly, "I want to register for the Combat Arena!"
After registering, Lynn followed the guidance of the Combat Arena staff and entered through a nearby passage. The moment he stepped inside—
"Whoosh!"
A thunderous wave of noise instantly flooded his ears.
"Come on! Kill that sissy!"
"You coward, what are you dodging for?!"
Lynn could not help but smile wryly. The atmosphere in this Combat Arena reminded him of football matches from his previous life.
A fierce battle was currently underway in the Combat Arena. Lynn casually found a seat and sat down to watch the two fighters. Watching others fight could sometimes give him insight and help him break through a bottleneck.
That was why so many gods came to watch powerful experts fight. Of course, some gods came purely to relax by watching the battles.
Both combatants were Highgods. One was an Effeminate Youth, while the other was a bald, muscular man.
The Effeminate Youth wielded a broadsword and cultivated the Water Element Law. The bald brute wielded a Great Hammer and cultivated the Earth Law.
The two had turned into blurs as they clashed at lightning speed. Rays of light filled the air, and whenever their weapons collided, the surging energy caused the protective Magic Array to ripple. The spectator stands erupted with deafening cheers.
Lynn did not understand the Water Element Law or the Earth Law. Though he had an affinity for the earth element, he had never had the time to cultivate it!
However, he had read brief descriptions of these two Element Laws, so he could barely make out that frost was faintly gathering on the Effeminate Youth's broadsword. It should have been the "Sharpness of Ice" profundity. As for the bald man, each swing of his Great Hammer seemed capable of overturning heaven and earth. It should have been the "Strength" profundity.
"Haha! Stop dodging! Take my hammer!" The bald brute laughed as the Great Hammer in his hand smashed toward the Effeminate Youth like a meteor, seemingly intending to crush him into a pulp in a single blow.
"Idiot!" the Effeminate Youth snorted coldly.
"Smack!"
His broadsword struck the Great Hammer at a clever angle, and an invisible ripple instantly traveled along the hammer and entered the bald brute's body.
"Ahhh—" The miserable scream came to an abrupt halt. The bald man's aura suddenly weakened, and then, with a "thud," he crashed heavily onto the ground without moving again!
"Alipa wins!" a voice announced.
The Effeminate Youth then left directly through the passage beneath the Combat Arena.
"That ripple should have been a Soul Attack." Lynn nodded to himself. Ripples were a common type of profundity. They existed not only in the Water Element Law, but also in the Earth Element and light element.
Once this battle ended, another fierce fight soon began!
The two sides in this match cultivated the Fire Laws and the Life Law respectively, which made Lynn even more interested.
The two exchanged blows for several moments.
"Boom—"
The deity who wielded the Fire Laws actually transformed into flames and exploded. When he re-formed his body, he swung his spear like lightning, smashing it into another Highgod.
That Highgod was sent flying, and then his entire body strangely went "Bang!" and exploded.
Seeing this, Lynn's eyes lit up. "That's the Explosion Profundity. The way he used the Explosion Profundity is rather interesting!"
Lynn's Fire Element Divine Clone had currently comprehended only the Fire Element and the Scorching Heat Fusion Profundity. If he wanted to continue cultivating, he would need to choose a third profundity to comprehend and fuse.
After several battles ended, Lynn had watched with great interest.
Although most of the deities who fought were merely ordinary Highgods and had not fused even a single profundity, some of their applications of individual profundities had still opened Lynn's eyes.
They had even vaguely stirred something within him!
"It's my turn!" Lynn walked into a nearby passage and headed toward the arena.
As Lynn entered, a voice rang out above the arena.
"The next combatants are Lynn and Raul! Let us give them a warm welcome!"
"Lynn!"
"Raul!"
The moment Lynn stepped onto the fighting platform, thunderous cheers erupted around him. It was completely different from watching beneath the stage, and even his blood began to boil.
He looked toward the other side of the platform, where a muscular man with a single horn on his head was emerging from the passage below.
"Heh heh, kid!" The Unicorn Strongman grinned at Lynn. "You'd better surrender early! Lord Raul's great hammer isn't something you'll enjoy taking!"
A longsword appeared in Lynn's hand. "Enough nonsense. Make your move!"
