As expected, the careful Xiao Nuo controlled the number of times he participated in the next few days to about four. This way, the chances of losing in the lowest level of the Deep Arena were very low. In half a month, he only lost two matches. In one of the matches, Xiao Nuo was thrown off the stage in less than a minute. Moreover, he fell outside the outer guardrail. It was said that that person was here to go to Area A to gain some results. There was no doubt about it. Xiao Nuo had already known the result the moment he entered the arena. He was beaten badly by his opponent, but he was also very excited. His opponent had a little of Xiao Nuo's style. After the match started, he didn't say anything and started to punch Xiao Nuo. In the end, Xiao Nuo's tenacity and ability to resist attacks made the opponent very conflicted. Thus, Xiao Nuo was sent flying with the last punch. The other loss was actually arranged after he was beaten up. Xiao Nuo, who had indeed been beaten up miserably, had no more energy to continue the match, so he naturally forfeited.
There was also a battle that surprised Xiao Nuo. The second demi-human competitor had appeared in the Deep Arena. Although he was much weaker than the dark horse Xiao Nuo, it was enough to make people look at him in a different light. Xiao Nuo was somewhat familiar with that person. It was the demi-human youth that he had saved in Monster Forest Town.
Xiao Nuo had already collected the ten gold coins for the registration fee of the Battle God Academy. Ten gold coins was enough to charge a common person ten years of thrifty expenses. The famous education was bought with money.
Xiao Nuo planned to leave for Kyokuboku the next day for the last match of the day. After all, there were still a few days before the registration began. Although it was very close, Xiao Nuo was still a little nervous. He still hoped that he could prepare early, even though he himself did not know what to prepare.
Xiao Nuo's current nickname,'Snow Fox' was quite famous in the competition of Zone C. Especially since he had won 81 matches and lost 3 matches as a demi-human. Among them, he had the highest winning streak of 45 matches! This record was rarely seen. Although there were some players who had no background and had to fight their way up to Area A, it was really rare. After all, people with such strength had some connections and directly advanced to Area A or B.
"Shouya VS Snow Fox, odds 1.5 to 14. The Deep Arena has ushered in the first demi-human battle in history. Although he is only a newcomer, Shouya's madness and tenacity in the first two battles have already been recognized by everyone. We look forward to his better performance today, but unfortunately, his opponent is actually Snow Fox, who is known as the legend of August…It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people. Back to the main topic, I announce the official start of the competition…"
" Greetings, benefactor. My mother asked me to thank you on her behalf…" After saying that, the young man knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow when he immediately felt a strong force lifting him up. "Psionic force! Such powerful Psionic Force? "How is this possible…" The youth who was suddenly helped up looked at Xiao Nuo with a flushed face. He couldn't imagine that demi-humans could really unleash Psionic Force to such an extent.
" I can't afford to have gold on my knees. You'd better admit defeat. You can't beat me," Xiao Nuo said to the boy who had a good impression of him.
" En…I…I want to ask you for one more thing," the embarrassed young man said to Xiao Nuo.
"Speak!"
"I…um…I lost the match yesterday. If I lose to you again, I won't have the money to continue signing up for the competition. I…I…I also want to go to the Battle God Academy. I heard last time that you were going to apply for the Battle God Academy.”He stuttered and finally managed to replay the expressions of these youths who had finished speaking.
"You've just paid off what you owe me, which means we don't owe each other anything. If you want to win, raise your head and clench your fists. Even Xiao Nuo himself wasn't sure if he could get into the Battle God Academy, but the boy opposite him also wanted to go?"
"What? Ah! I understand, benefactor. Shouya thanks you for the last time. " Please…" Just as he finished speaking, the young man was kicked out before he could even say his name. He spun in the air a few times before landing on the ground in a sorry state.
" Bang, bang, bang…The storm-like punches landed on the young man opposite him. He almost couldn't dodge or defend against the punches. What was even worse was his mental endurance. The bone-chilling killing intent came wave after wave, digging out his heart and stirring his flesh. Deep in his heart, he even had the urge to die happily. The endless fear made the young man tremble and even forget the pain in his body. The torture lasted for ten minutes.
The weak young man was covered in wounds and blood, and his eyes that were about to fade indicated that he was about to die. Xiao Nuo, who was in a bestial state, ignored the host's advice, did not notice the snow fox that had quietly arrived below the stage, nor did he care about Owen who was sitting in the corner and that mysterious figure that did not seem to exist. His expression was still calm and murderous, and his eyes that had been opened long ago emitted a demonic red light as he stared at the other party's eyes.
"He's about to die, right? " I'm happy to die in the hands of my benefactor. He's too powerful. I can't beat him…" He even had fantasies in his mind. The twisted and despicable face of the textile factory owner, the harsh sarcasm of the people accusing the demi-humans in the streets, the mother who asked him to live but died without treatment…" I can't…I can't die!”After the young man who had just regained his consciousness shouted this sentence, he realized that the whole world had changed. There was no bone-chilling killing intent, no despairing pain, and no demonic and sinister red eyes! It could really be said to be hell and heaven in a single thought…
" Admit defeat, you win this match…" Xiao Nuo said expressionlessly.
The young man who had just climbed up from hell trembled when he heard the voice on the other side. He carefully pondered over the seemingly contradictory words and understood something…
"May I know your name, benefactor? I am called Shouya. I admit defeat!" The last few words were directed at the referee.
" Xiao Nuo…" After saying that, Xiao Nuo nodded at the young man before him and turned to leave. His departure caused the audience to roar with thunder and Owen and the wizened old man to ponder in the shadows.
Watching Xiao Nuo leave in a daze, the young Shou Ya silently endured it before he suddenly fainted. In fact, the pain on his body was only secondary. After suddenly accepting and resisting Xiao Nuo's cold killing intent for more than ten minutes, Shou Ya's body and mind had long reached the edge of collapse. If it wasn't for his strong and tenacious heart, he would have died in that dangerous psychological struggle just now. This was also why Xiao Nuo said that he had actually won this match. Before he fell, Shouya felt something heavy in his arms.
"Actually, I can still go to Area B in a few days to experience it. That place might be more helpful to me. Forget it! It was better to go to the academy early. They would set off tomorrow. "En, we've finally returned to your alma mater…" After receiving the reward for the last match, Xiao Nuo once again disappeared into the crowd with the snow fox.
" This kid has all the prerequisites for extraordinary achievements. If you don't have the confidence to win, then never provoke such a person…Perhaps you can interact with him more. You should go back tomorrow. School will start in a few days." After saying that, the shriveled old man who was already full of energy disappeared. Owen was left alone in a daze. Although the killing intent had been restrained and no one else had felt it, he had indeed "seen" it. He had really "seen" that thick and distorted killing intent.
"How did that Shouya guy survive?”Owen couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of how his father had tortured him like this. " Pervert, what a f * cking pervert..." Owen, who was muttering, also jumped down and disappeared into the crowd.
The next day, Xiao Nuo went to a clothing store and bought a few grey clothes to change into. He also bought some cheap needlework and other simple daily necessities and put them in his backpack. In the end, they found a food stall and had a hearty meal. In order to avoid the gazes of those who were looking at monsters, Xiao Nuo and his beast had changed over a dozen stalls. They had eaten almost all the snacks before they were barely full.
" He only spent half a gold coin to eat so much. If I had known earlier, I would have left less for him yesterday. My heart aches..." The man and the beast staggered on the road to Kyokuboku with their big bellies.
Along the way, there were caravans of all sizes or new students who were going to report to the academy like Xiao Nuo. For so many years, Xiao Nuo had never strolled so leisurely. It was only a few dozen kilometers, but Xiao Nuo had walked for two whole days. After all, such leisure time was destined to be very rare in Xiao Nuo's life.
When they were about to enter the northern part of the capital, many people stopped outside the city. However, unlike the big, glamorous caravans on the road, most of the people who stopped here were dressed in clothes similar to Xiao Nuo's. It looked like they were either small and pitiful smuggling caravans or new students from poor families. Along the way, Xiao Nuo heard a lot about the Battle God Academy. It was said that the children from poor families who wanted to enter the Battle God Academy without a recommendation letter had to go through an extremely strict selection process, and the passing rate would not exceed 1% per year. This news made Xiao Nuo, who had been excited for a long time, gradually calm down. Perhaps Xiao Nuo, who was now wearing the experience lock, was a little stronger than when he had just climbed out of the deep canyon in the Monster Forest. However, Xiao Nuo was still not satisfied with his progress, and it seemed that his progress was a little slow. Moreover, as his strength increased, the sealing power of the experience lock also increased. Ever since he accidentally broke the experience lock once, he had not been able to break the seal again. If this continued, he did not know when he would have the chance to completely break through the shackles of the experience lock.
"It seems that I've been living too comfortably recently. I have to find an opportunity to return to the Deep Arena and enter Area B to take a look. Do you want to participate in a few life-and-death battles?”For Xiao Nuo, who had been on the run for his life for the past few years, his recent life was indeed like heaven. After hesitating for a while, Xiao Nuo also found a place to rest in the forest outside the city. After all, the dozen gold coins in his pocket were all earned from the hard work of the past twenty days. In the future, he might not have the opportunity to go to the arena for a long time. He also could not find a suitable place to sell the magical beast fur in his bag. To Xiao Nuo, who was poor in income, it was always right to be frugal. Moreover, he really didn't feel comfortable staying in those so-called hotels, even though he had never stayed there before. Xiao Nuo had long gotten used to living in the wild, which meant that he still hadn't adapted to human life. Perhaps it wasn't difficult to change a person's thoughts, but it would take a long time to change a person's habits…
"Hey! Brother, I'm sorry to disturb you. Do you want to come over and have a drink with us? "After all, it's safer for everyone to stay together to deal with the horde of magical beasts at night." Just as Xiao Nuo sat down and thought about how his recent comfortable life had slowed his progress, a peer of the same age smiled at Xiao Nuo and said.
" Thank you, I like to be alone." After saying that, Xiao Nuo didn't care about the other party's awkward gaze and started to pack his luggage.
"Forget it, Brother Soldier. Let him pretend to be cool. We won't care about him when we encounter a magical beast attack at night!”a chubby youth said.
"Little Five! In fact, for these warriors, such a loud voice could definitely be heard clearly from such a distance, let alone for Xiao Nuo, it was the same as speaking in his ear. However, he was too lazy to care about other people's opinions.
"It's not easy for all of us. These fat bureaucrats deduct our taxes and raise so many magical beasts just to force us to spend. As long as we are united, they won't have a chance. The ten gold coins that the village has gathered is already the limit. "Little Wu, you have to work hard. Try to get your father to give you a spot in two years. I'll wait for you at the Battle God Academy," the soldier who was rejected by Xiao Nuo said to the chubby youth beside him.
" I'm far from being able to compare to you, Soldier Bro. After so many years, my old man has finally come to his senses and agreed to raise funds to send you to the Battle God Academy to try. If he doesn't agree this year, Soldier Bro, you'll soon be over your age," the fatty said with a dissatisfied expression.
"I am already very grateful. This is the savings of the entire village. However, I will definitely not let your father and the others down. This time, you will be beaten up again when you sneak out. Little Five, you have a lot to suffer."
"Tsk! It's not easy for me to come out with you to see the outside world. Can you not spoil my mood? I'll be depending on you tonight, Brother Soldier. If I lose a piece of meat, my old man will definitely punish you!"
"Haha, you brat! Sure, no problem. Why would the future Battle God care about these lowly magical beasts reared by a few despicable humans? Haha…"
Xiao Nuo listened to the casual conversation not far away and roughly understood the situation. It turned out that this country had deliberately left such a huge hidden danger to protect the interests of most merchants in order to urge consumption. Moreover, from what they said, it seemed that some other royal institutions were even more excessive. The courier stations, real estate, academies, guilds of magic, and so on were all controlled by the national authorities. The cost was naturally needless to say…It seemed that there was only one place where the poor could escape their fate, and that was…the Battle God Academy.
Sure enough, a large group of magical beasts attacked at night, but the situation was different from what he had imagined. After a few symbolic attacks, the magical beasts passed through the crowd and disappeared into the night sky, as if they were only here to disturb everyone's sweet dreams.
"Haha, looks like the other party's manager isn't stupid after all."
"What do you mean, Brother Soldier?"
"Think about it, what kind of life will it be in a few days? It was the day of enrollment for the Battle God Academy. More than half of the students who camped outside the city were poor students who had come to apply. Not only did these people not have any benefits, but they were also mostly stubborn children from poor families. If they wanted to bite down on such a big hard bone, would they not break a few teeth? Raising magical beasts also required money. Even if there were a large number of these low-level magical beasts, it would still be a huge sum of money!”
"Then why did they still come? I didn't even sleep well last night."
"Didn't you just say that? Their goal is nothing more than to make us feel uneasy and make those small merchant groups that have mixed into this group of people tremble in fear. They will also harass them to make them publicize and prove that the magical beast horde does indeed exist."
"Oh! That's what he meant after all this time. Damn it, but Brother Soldier, you're even better. You actually guessed it, haha!”
" I think it should be fine. Everyone should go to sleep." Xiao Nuo didn't care about other things, but it didn't mean that others didn't care about him. When the horde of magical beasts passed by, the soldier noticed that Xiao Nuo was lying there motionless as if nothing had happened. However, none of the magical beasts came close to him. Even if there was one or two, they would suddenly run around him. He didn't think that the other magical beasts would retreat because of the snow fox. In the soldier's heart, this person was equal to danger. In fact, what he thought was the most impossible was the real reason. Xiao Nuo felt relieved when he sensed the level of the magical beasts from afar. After greeting Xiao Ling, he went to think about the problem of unsealing the seal. Xiao Ling, who had the Black Dragon bloodline, only needed to release a little bit of aura to make these low-level creatures flinch.
