Chapter 173

Chastina went up and knocked on the door.

Ten breaths later, the iron gate did not open, but instead a small window was pulled open in the gate, revealing a pair of eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a man's voice came from behind the door:

"Chastina, who are these people behind you?"

"My friend."

Chastina a few steps forward. The small window was opened quite high, Chastina had to look up to meet those eyes.

"I can vouch for it."

The eyes behind the small window scanned the area, and after a few breaths, he said, "The boss instructed that you can come in, but if anything happens, Chastina, you know the consequences."

"I know."

Chastina remained unfazed.

Then, the iron gate slowly opened.

Behind the door were several Kuranta people, different from the thugs from last time.

These men, dressed in full armor and carrying weapons, looked like knights.

Chastina was clearly unfazed and led Han Fei and the others down the road in a relaxed manner.

There was another spiral staircase, leading to another door at the end.

There were still guards at the door. When Chastina came down, they opened the door, and immediately a loud noise came out.

Once inside, the view immediately opened up.

Below is a large space that can probably accommodate several hundred people, and in the very center is a ring, much larger than a typical boxing ring.

But compared to the Knight's Championship's spacious ring, large enough to run a 100-meter dash, it's much smaller.

At that time, there were two sides fighting in the arena, one of whom was even a Sarkaz.

Upon seeing the Sarkaz, Han Fei subconsciously turned his head to glance at Theresa.

The latter, however, didn't show any particular expression.

The Sarkaz race is quite different from Sankta. Because of the existence of Laterano, non-Fallen Sankta rarely venture out unless there is a specific reason.

At least in the storyline, non-fallen Sankta are indeed not commonly seen outside; there are only a handful of them.

But the Sarkaz are different; they really seem to be everywhere.

Not to mention anything further, Patriot even led his entire race to Ursus.

Therefore, it's quite common for Terra to encounter Sarkaz.

"I need to take care of the competition arrangements first," Chastina said. "You can find a place to sit for a while; I think I'll be able to come down and find you after the matches are over."

Han Fei said, "No problem, we'll just meet at the exit later."

Theresa softly echoed, "Yes, you go ahead and do your thing."

Texas nodded as well.

So the three of them parted ways with Chastina.

Han Fei led everyone directly to the edge of the arena and randomly picked a spot.

As a result, not long after I sat down, someone came over to chat with me.

"Gentlemen, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

Han Fei turned his head and saw another Kuranta. He nodded and replied, "Indeed."

"Want to come and have some fun? There's something special going on tonight."

The Kuranta man gave him a knowing look, then introduced, "Tonight, the somewhat famous Chastina will be on stage. A lot of people are betting on her to win. How about it, want to join in the fun?"

Han Fei then realized that it was about placing a bet.

This is normal; in places where there are winners and losers, this kind of industry will naturally emerge.

What's more, it's an underground, illegal knightly competition.

Han Fei wasn't really interested in this, but he still asked, "What are the odds for Chastina?"

Let me see.

This person was quite professional; they immediately pulled out a tablet, checked the numbers, and replied, "Currently, it's 1 to 1.12, and her opponent..."

Han Fei waved his hand, too lazy to listen any further, and said directly, "Then let's play with 10,000 marks. I'm betting on Chastina to win."

Mark meant nothing to Han Fei, so he wasn't a gambler and had a very calm attitude towards it.

I'm not thinking too much about it; I'm just having fun and supporting my friend.

"Okay, sir, this way!"

The Kuranta people were immediately overjoyed.

Han Fei followed him, and on the way, he looked around with great interest.

Just as Chastina said, there are actually quite a few infected people in this place, perhaps even the majority.

Furthermore, it's quite obvious that some of the infected individuals came specifically to fight, and they were even carrying weapons.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. He vaguely remembered that there were quite a few infected knights in Kazimierz later on.

These guys didn't just appear out of thin air. Like Chastina, they couldn't register as knights, so they had to fight in illegal knightly tournaments underground to make a living or hone their combat skills.

Once registration opened in Kazimierz, they all popped up at once.

Just like Chastina.

The Kuranta man was quite skilled. After Han Fei handed over the money, he expertly placed the bet for Han Fei and then handed him a small receipt, saying, "Wait a moment, if you win, come back with this receipt to exchange for your money."

"OK."

Han Fei responded, took the receipt, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the Kuranta man then said, "Speaking of which, I see you and your friends are all carrying weapons. Are you also interested in going up on stage for a fight?"

"Our arena is quite good. Regardless of winning or losing, you'll receive a 3% to 10% cut from every match."

The Kuranta man coaxed, "How about it? Want to give it a try? Just think of it as sparring with other experts?"

"I'm not really interested. As for my friend, I'll ask him," Han Fei said.

"Okay, if you're interested, you can come find me," the Kuranta man said confidently.

Han Fei waved his hand, turned around, and walked back.

While he was away, Theresa and Texas were chatting, but it seemed that Theresa was talking more often, while Texas was responding less.

Given Theresa's personality, she naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters. Moreover, she knew that Texas was just like that, not that she truly disliked her.

Seeing Han Fei return, Theresa's gaze naturally shifted from the arena to Han Fei's face, and she said softly, "You're back."

"Um."

Han Fei waved the receipt in his hand and said, "It's settled. Consider it supporting Chastina. If she wins, we'll use this money to get some late-night snacks later. If she loses, then she'll treat us to late-night snacks."

"You're bullying them again."

Theresa scolded, "She hasn't even gone on stage yet, you can't say things like that! How can you say she'll lose?"

"Yes, mine too."

Han Fei stretched, sat back down, and said, "Then let's start looking forward to tonight's late-night snack."

"Oh, by the way, that guy just said we could go up and fight too, are you interested?" Han Fei asked the two women.

Without even thinking, Theresa shook her head and said, "I'm not interested. Being a spectator is fine."

"I'm not interested either," Texas replied.

"Okay, then I'll be a spectator."

Volume 1: Chapter 203 The Armorless Union

Han Fei didn't have to wait long; soon, Chastina appeared on the ring.

"You're on stage so quickly!"

Theresa also noticed Chastina holding a weapon on the stage and chuckled, "I thought I'd have to wait a while longer."

Immediately, she put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Go for it!"

Han Fei didn't cheer as loudly as Theresa, but his eyes still showed a deep trust in Chastina.

After all, Chastina is a six-star operator named "Fartooth," and she's quite powerful.

Even if Fartooth is a high-positioned unit, that's just a matter of gameplay presentation and doesn't really mean anything.

--My Saria is a healing tank who isn't good at dealing damage, but she's quite strong in the story!

He's far better than that toilet-cleaning king.

Unexpectedly, Chastina's opponent was also an "old acquaintance" of Han Fei.

A small figure with bright red hair and a matching tail slowly walked onto the ring and stood opposite Chastina.

This one is much easier to recognize. Even disregarding her fluffy red tail, the old Doctor could immediately identify her by the honey-splatter-shaped iron ear protectors on her head.

Sona, leader of the Pinus Sylvestris, codename Wild Mane.

Upon seeing Sona, Han Fei had a premonition that his Mark was likely going to be wasted.

The reason is simple: the arena severely restricts Chastina's range of movement, while Sona's specialty is agility.

This girl's skills at Elite 1 and Elite 2 are all related to evasion.

On this basis.

Han Fei personally believes that Fartooth is no match for Wild Mane.

With no room to maneuver and Wild Mane adept at dodging, how can Fartooth possibly win?

Theresa immediately noticed Han Fei's reaction and said, "What's wrong? Why does your expression suddenly look so strange?"

"Nothing much, I just think our little Chastina might lose," Han Fei said.

"You're saying that again."

Theresa looked at Han Fei with a reproachful expression, and then she noticed that this time Han Fei seemed to be serious.

Theresa immediately understood and asked, "So, you know this person?"

"I actually know him."

Han Fei readily admitted, "I can only say that, in terms of style, this red-haired girl is more restrained by our Chastina."

"Then your money is all gone?" Theresa said.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, does it?" Han Fei said dismissively.

"Too."

Theresa said knowingly, "You only care about Haf Coins."

As they were talking, a fight broke out on stage.

Han Fei looked closely and saw that the situation was indeed not much different from what he had imagined.

Fartooth is a powerful shot with a long range, but Wild Mane's evasion is too strong.

If it were Lemuen, things might be different.

But the Fartooth cutie doesn't have a guaranteed hit, making it too difficult to fight.

Once Wild Mane's Flaming Heart is activated, it grants an 80% physical and magical evasion rate. Even according to the game's stats, this skill only lasts for eight seconds, but on this arena, it wouldn't take eight seconds to run from the east side to the west side.

Before long, Han Fei saw Wild Mane dodging Fartooth's shots and cutting into Fartooth's front, his rapier rising and falling, aimed directly at Fartooth's neck.

You lost.

"Hateful."

Chastina, however, was able to accept defeat gracefully. Despite her obvious reluctance, she readily admitted defeat, saying, "I lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, some audience members started swearing.
