Chapter 2911: Starting from Below
"Simply put, you register in the arena network system and place how many Spiritual Stones you want to bet," the worker there explained. "The arena system will then select an opponent with similar cultivation to be your adversary. Of course, it is up to the other cultivators of our Gondel Clan to look into your information and then accept to fight with you. At the same time, you can check who decided to accept your challenge and see if it is fair or not. In case you think it is a lost cause, you can also refuse to accept that challenger."
He continued. "On the other hand, you can also check the arena network system and see the challengers available. You are quite old for someone in the Energy Gathering Realm initial stage, you know? I\'m pretty sure most of the cultivators around your level will accept fighting against you as well. You just need to bet the same amount of Spiritual Stones they are putting on the line. The winner takes all. It is that simple."
Finally, the worker asked for Rean\'s CD. "Give me your CD so that I can register you."
Rean passed his communication device over, which was inserted in a slot on the worker\'s terminal. A moment later, the device came out and was given back to Rean. "That\'s it. Your device is registered. Just open the arena website and all the options will be available for you." "Thank you," Rean was happy everything was that simple and organized.
A moment later, he returned to Roan\'s side. "How is it? Did you find it?"
Roan nodded and showed his CD to Rean. "Here is the arena bet website. All fights that will take place in the arenas are posted here two hours before they start. All the information about the fighters is made available for those who want to bet so that they can choose someone. There are other gambling methods here in the Gondel Clan, but the rest is all about luck."
Rean shrugged. "Truth be told, the arena is also about luck... if you don\'t count the two of us, that is. In any case, this is enough. It\'s just that we used all our Spiritual Stones to buy those useless pills."
Roan\'s mouth twitched. "More meaningless work?"
"More meaningless work..." Rean confirmed. "Just one more day, though. Both of us can gain one Spiritual Stone, and two should be enough to attract some overconfident kids. Look at the arena website."
In there, Rean could stipulate a limite of strength of cultivators who could accept fighting with him. For example, Rean was in the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, and he could put a limit that his opponent couldn\'t be more than one or two stages above in cultivation than himself. Rean wanted to put two entire realms... but if he did it, he would definitely catch too much attention, so Rean registered a fight with a limit of at most one stage above his own cultivation.
Following that, Rean and Roan once again went to work on some of those menial tasks. They could take better missions now that they are in the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, but it would take longer to return to the Gondel Clan. They just needed two Spiritual Stones to start the plan, after all.
On the next day, various cultivators had already accepted Rean\'s challenge, where his bet was only two Rank One Spiritual Stones. Rean wasn\'t an idiot, so he selected a kid in the same Initial Stage Energy Gathering Realm who also offered two Rank One Spiritual Stones. With this, their fight was released on the Arena Bets website.
After two hours, Rean and the kid entered the arena. Rean could tell why that younger kid with the same cultivation accepted his challenge. Even though the kid was in the same Initial Stage, he was very close to reaching the Middle Stage. Besides, he was holding a saber that looked quite expensive.
In the arena, one could bring their own weapons or use the weapons provided in the arena. Naturally, the Arena ones were very basic, but it was better than nothing for those without money. Rean looked at the kid on the other side with a smile before moving to the side and grabbing a sword.
\'Wipe out the smile, idiot,\' Roan complained from the standings. \'Aren\'t you here to make a profit? Don\'t look so confident.\'
\'Oh! Sorry, sorry,\' Rean felt like laughing but still managed to harder his expression. \'This will take a few minutes, and I will get quite injured. Try to not worry too much about me, okay?\'
\'As far as I\'m concerned, you can just drop dead right there and then,\' Roan answered. Neither of them was paying attention to Rean\'s opponent at all.
*BAMMMM!!!*
Suddenly, the sound of an alarm echoed in the arena, signaling the start of the fight. *Zush!*
The kid immediately dashed forward as his sword began to gather Fire Element.
\'Oh!\' Rean felt slightly surprised. \'They also know how to forge weapons that can gather elements on their own in this place.\'
A wave of fire then came out of the sword like a slash, aiming to take Rean down.
*Bang!*
Rean defended with his sword, being forced back. The temperature increased, burning the edges of Rean\'s clothes a little. \'Such a difference... How strong do you think this kid is compared to a kid of the same age back in Sunkan Planet?\'
\'Peak Stage Energy Gathering or Initial Stage Foundation Establishment,\' Roan commented. \'Just forget about it. We know they are much better in the Werdlem Empire. No point dwelling
over this issue.\'
\'True...\' Rean agreed with Roan on that point.
The fight lasted eleven minutes, and both Rean and the Kids had injuries all over their bodies. Quite a few faces looked terrible in the arena. Many had bet on the kid to win against Rean, especially since the kid had a better weapon. Yet, both sides seemed even matched regardless. In the end, in a last clash between Rean and the Kid, the Kid finally fell unconscious while Rean \'barely\' kept himself standing. Rean won his first fight and got two extra Rank One Spirit Stones.
