"Hoo~"
Qin Chen sat on the reserve bench, exhaling a breath of stale air.
After a period of understanding, he had a general grasp of the rules of the Myriad Blades Arena.
First and foremost was the issue of how many Star Coins could be obtained after a victory.
Each victory came with a basic reward of ten thousand Star Coins.
And this was just the smaller portion; the larger portion was the consecutive win bonus.
Every time the number of consecutive wins reached a multiple of five, there would be an additional consecutive win reward. The more consecutive wins, the higher the reward.
However, consecutive wins were not something ordinary people could achieve; the difficulty was immense.
The Myriad Blades Arena's matching system for duels was based on a combination of a fighter's consecutive wins, total wins, and total matches fought, rather than their cultivation realm.
This meant that since Qin Chen was participating for the first time, his opponents would most likely be those who had only participated once or twice, or those who had never fought before.
In such a situation, he might encounter someone at Body Tempering Layer One, or he might encounter someone at Body Tempering Ninth Layer, depending mainly on their record.
Of course, this was just the theoretical matching result. If there were no opponents among the current fighters whose records were similar to Qin Chen's, then the system might match him with opponents who had better or worse records.
At the same time, the Myriad Blades Arena had another rule: killing was not allowed.
Severe injuries were fine, but no one was to die there.
Unless the duel was upgraded before the fight, changing a normal duel into a Life and Death Duel.
Both parties would sign a Life and Death Contract, and then it would be life for the victor and death for the loser; only one person would walk off the dueling stage alive!
Generally, unless there was an irreconcilable conflict, Life and Death Duels would not be conducted!
While Qin Chen was still thinking, he heard his codename being called.
"Please... King of Body Tempering Layer Six and Blood Wolf, proceed to Dueling Platform Six for your duel!"
!!!
In an instant, more than half of the attention in the arena was drawn, and gazes were uniformly directed towards Dueling Platform Six.
Expressions varied on people's faces: shock, curiosity, disdain, hostility, and so on!
"King of Body Tempering Layer Six? What kind of arrogant guy came up with that name?"
"Does he mean he's the king among those at Body Tempering Layer Six? What a bold claim!"
"Could it be some guy at Body Tempering Ninth Layer shamelessly took that name?"
"That's a bit too embarrassing, isn't it? If I were at Body Tempering Ninth Layer, I'd dare to take that name, and I'd even dare to call myself King of Body Tempering Layer Seven!"
"You never know, it's quite possible!"
Just a name caused the audience stands to erupt in a flurry of discussion.
At the same time, information about the two combatants appeared on the large screen above Dueling Platform Six.
[Blood Wolf, Realm: Body Tempering Layer Six, Total Matches: 105, Wins: 70, Consecutive Wins: 4]
[King of Body Tempering Layer Six, Realm: Body Tempering Fourth Layer, Total Matches: 0, Wins: 0, Consecutive Wins: 0]
"WTF?!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned as they looked at the information displayed above.
Were they sure the realms of these two weren't reversed?
And also!
What was with the all-zero record?
The fact that these two were matched was due to the special circumstances mentioned earlier.
One of the parties couldn't find an opponent with a similar record, so under the matching mechanism, two people with extremely different records were paired together.
"No way! Is this guy here to be a joke?"
"I thought he was some big shot when I saw his name, but he's just some weakling at Body Tempering Fourth Layer?"
"There's no need to even think about it! Just bet on Blood Wolf blindly!"
A considerable number of people immediately made their decision and bet on Blood Wolf.
If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
Any normal person could tell who to choose just by looking, without any hesitation.
Instantly, odds also appeared above the basic information of the two combatants on the Myriad Blades Arena's large screen.
[Blood Wolf: 1.21, King of Body Tempering Layer Six: 10]
And as time went by, the odds for Blood Wolf continued to drop, while the odds for the other side remained unchanged.
Because this was the highest odds index in the Myriad Blades Arena; it couldn't get any higher than this!
Looking at the odds above, Qin Chen's eyes couldn't help but gleam.
This was a ten-to-one payout! Ten thousand becomes a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand becomes a million...
It was a shame that as a gladiator, he couldn't bet on himself unless he had someone else place the bet for him.
But clearly, no one could help him right now. Moreover, he had less than two thousand Star Coins left, which wasn't much even if it was multiplied by ten.
Shaking his head, Qin Chen slowly stood up and headed towards Gladiator Arena Number Six.
Qin Chen's movements did not escape the eyes of the crowd. After all, most people's attention was focused around Arena Number Six at this moment.
In an instant, a considerable portion of the crowd's gazes turned towards Qin Chen.
Upon seeing Qin Chen's appearance, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
The first reaction was his youth!
So young that they thought he was some kid brought along by a contestant!
But everyone knew this was impossible.
Because non-contestants were not allowed to enter the combat arena.
"That guy is the King of Body Tempering Layer Six?"
"No wonder he chose such a name. So he's just an immature brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
"Back when I first started cultivating, I thought the same way, believing I could fight across several realms, but later..."
"What happened later?"
"I didn't break through to become a Martial Artist!"
Besides the spectators, many Martial Artists in the waiting area also cast their gazes over.
When they sensed Qin Chen's aura, they all paused.
It was indeed Body Tempering Fourth Layer!
Compared to the spectators in the stands, most of the Martial Artists here felt more hostility towards Qin Chen.
This was because the majority of them were at Body Tempering Layer Six or below.
Seeing Qin Chen's chosen name naturally made them very unhappy.
What the hell?
A brat at Body Tempering Fourth Layer actually looked down on them?
Immediately, someone said to another person heading towards Gladiator Arena Number Six:
"Blood Wolf! Teach this kid a good lesson for me, and I'll give you five thousand Star Coins!"
"I'll give five thousand too! Beat this kid soundly, especially his face. Beat him to death! The arena shouldn't have anyone this handsome!"
"I'll give five thousand too!"
"Me too..."
Soon, five or six people shouted towards Blood Wolf.
Blood Wolf was a well-built, fierce man with a scar on his right eye. Upon hearing their words, he immediately grinned and said:
"Leave it to me!"
He was actually very unhappy with Qin Chen's chosen name.
He had already planned to teach this kid a lesson, and now he could earn extra money. This was simply a windfall!
A moment later, the two arrived on the arena, their gazes fixed on each other
