Chapter 350: Tempering the Citizens
After returning to Yuncheng, Liu Xun drove the weak beasts aside, gathered some powerful beasts together, and built a general platform with the stones accumulated in Yuncheng.

Liu Xun stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking at the citizens below: "From today on, you will fight against the monsters. Those who win three games a day can rest for one day. Those who win ten consecutive days will have their cloud essence resources doubled for that month, for a period of one month."

"Those who win consecutively for a month can enter the library and choose three martial arts."

"Those who win three consecutive months will receive three drops of blood from the same type of exotic beast!"

As the reward and punishment system in Cloud City has been improved, there has been no general direction for its implementation.

Now that these rules have been established, the citizens of the city are immediately happy.

Even though the Immortal Lord was talking about fighting with strange beasts, the citizens of these cities were martial people by nature. These strange beasts looked scary, but after spending a long time with them, they were not too frightened.

What Liu Xun proposed was just a gladiatorial contest to motivate the citizens with rewards.

And exotic beasts are the best choice to train the citizens.

For these citizens, the best reward is not cloud essence, not martial arts, but blood essence.

Whoever can win for three consecutive months will be able to obtain the blood of a strange beast bestowed by Liu Xun. This blood comes from the same type of strange beast as the blood consumed by the citizens, and is extremely pure. Three drops are enough to greatly improve the strength of the citizens.

In the Body Tempering Stage, one strengthens the body; in the Evil Condensing Stage, one cultivates and strengthens the evil spirit; and in the Transformation Stage, one completely controls the essence and blood and can freely transform into the body of a strange beast.

The same essence and blood can bring them great benefits in these three realms, so no one can resist being tempted.

All along, Liu Xun used his blood essence to refine blood pills and breed exotic beasts, and did not give much to the citizens.

Now that it is taken out, it naturally becomes a good thing sought after by everyone.

Tang, Lu and others who practiced the Five Heart-Forging Methods were a little anxious. They needed to borrow the hearts of alien beasts of the same realm five times to complete the practice of a higher realm.

When you enter the Ningsha realm, you must exchange your heart with the Heizun realm.

However, among the species of exotic beasts they had chosen at the beginning, only a few had broken through to the Black Lord Realm, which made things more difficult.

Liu Xun saw what they were thinking, and said that he would cultivate enough Black Venerable Realm beasts to replace their hearts from today on.

The Five Heart-Forging Methods are enough to increase the strength of the citizens fivefold, so Liu Xun naturally cannot ignore it.

The fight with the strange beast was postponed for two days. During these two days, the citizens built a scaled-down version of the arena and set up high- and low-level spectator seats outside.

After that, a series of fights began.

Each warrior has three chances to fight on the day. If he wins all, he can rest for a day. If he loses one, he must continue to participate the next day.

The days of rest are counted in the winning streak of the month, and the same applies to the others.

Under Liu Xun's instruction, Li divided the fighting into two levels: the Body Tempering Level and the Evil Condensing Level.

The Tempering Body Realm is against the White Zun Realm, while the Condensing Evil Realm is against the Black Zun Realm's strange beasts, and even has to fight against a group of strange beasts. The difficulty is several times higher than that of the Tempering Body Realm.

When Liu Xun was not practicing and plundering Dielian, he would watch the fights among the citizens.

He didn't need to worry about the people in the Condensing Sha Realm. Those in the Tempering Body Realm had not experienced many battles and made numerous mistakes in front of the ferocious beasts. Even if they were skilled in martial arts, they could hardly be the beasts' opponents.

Liu Xun selected relatively powerful exotic beasts. In addition, those like Qin Yuan, who were not very strong but also troublesome, were also used to train the citizens.

Liu Xun frowned slightly and said to Li beside him, "Ask each of them who participated in the fight to write an analysis of their own fight, regardless of whether they won or lost. Then put it on the first floor of the library and arrange for the citizens to read it."

This had been done in the previous life. The citizens of the city analyzed the reasons for victory and defeat, wrote down corresponding fighting skills for different gladiator beasts, and applied them to enemies of different paths. The experience accumulated from the fights was enough to fill the first-level library.

Later generations learned these skills, experienced gladiatorial combat themselves, and innovated on this basis. The warriors who grew up were all good fighters!
In his previous life, Liu Xun was able to fight the demon who possessed the Five Heart-Forging Techniques and both suffered heavy losses because of the battle experience accumulated by the citizens of the city.

That demon has the Five Heart Forging Methods, and Liu Xun has the exotic beasts created by the Desolate Scripture, but they both play to their own strengths.

As smart as Li, he understood Liu Xun's intention and nodded to make note of it.

He thought about it and thought that maybe it would be better to let the citizens exchange skills with each other on this basis. In fact, this was also what Liu Xun had done in his previous life.

In a nutshell, you can’t work in isolation.

Some warriors in the Tempering Body Realm were defeated and returned to the audience seats dejectedly. However, when they heard Li's summary of the reasons for their failure, they immediately perked up.

Yes, there were a few times when we were able to defeat the monsters, but minor mistakes led to our defeat. As long as we reviewed the situation a few times and made corrections again and again, we would eventually be able to win.

A new rule has been added to the gladiatorial combat: citizens can choose to fight again with the monsters that they failed to challenge last time.

Challenge, failure, summary.

Fighting, success, summary.

Before fighting, go to the library to observe the skills summarized by others, and then fight with the new beasts.

Citizens in the city who are on good terms with each other exchange martial arts and the weaknesses of strange beasts.

In less than a month, more than a dozen citizens in the city received rewards from Liu Xun for winning ten consecutive days.

Liu Xun was not stingy with his cloud essence and gave out rewards as promised, which motivated the other citizens to work harder.

With the current scale and variety of cloud plants, the cloud essence produced in Cloud City is no longer in short supply.

During this period, the fights were in full swing, and every warrior participated in them with the greatest enthusiasm.

Citizens with lower strength like to watch the fights between warriors in the Ningsha realm, and they can learn a lot from it.

For women and children in Yuncheng, there is now an additional entertainment activity.

In the past, apart from working and resting, they could only gather with talented storytellers to listen to storytelling. Now, with the addition of passionate fights, the women and children have an extra fun, watching the fights in the arena on time every day.

Whenever someone close to them fights, they cheer without hesitation.

The citizens with the talent of storyteller had no audience to listen to his "chat", so they could only come to watch the gladiatorial contests with sighs. He planned to describe the fighting scenes of the warriors participating in the gladiatorial contests into stories in order to attract some audiences for himself.

Currently, the building facilities in Yuncheng are still in short supply, but Liu Xun has already built some of them in accordance with the abilities of those who have acquired the talents of illiterate people. The teahouse is one of them. The main business of Chengmin Liao is storytelling, which can be regarded as adding some entertainment activities to Yuncheng.

As for facilities related to money and sex, Liu Xun did not establish any.

When I have time in the future, maybe I can make beast chess and sandboxes as entertainment for the citizens in their spare time.

There are also chess and Go, which one is not a way to enrich entertainment?

However, once chess and Go are released, they will attract a lot of talents. Sometimes Liu Xun needs talents to attract illiterate people. It is not the right time yet, so he did not release these two kinds of games.

Some time ago, there was Ben's gladiatorial contest, and the bloody fights on the battlefield made the citizens excited.

When they heard that Luo would participate in the fight today, everyone had already filled the audience seats.

Luo is quite famous among the citizens, mainly because of her unreliable father.

Although Tao has now reformed, his former reputation still lingers among the citizens.

In addition, Luo is a lively child and is deeply loved by the citizens.

Liu Xun sat at the top, watching Luo stepping into the arena with a spear in hand. From her posture he could see signs of her hard training.

Ben said that Luo was born to fight, and even though she was a woman, she was no weaker than a man.

She possesses the power of the infant spoon and the two evil energies of yin and yang, and Liu Xun has high hopes for her to share Long Yunyan's luck.

We can take a good look at her strength.
