Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 271 The Arena, Battle!
The Second World, a small, empty platform.

"Open the Arena," Lor requested, staring directly into the void ahead.

A verdant light screen appeared in front of him, reflecting four lines of complex text.

[A fifth-tier life form, 'Time and Space,' has been detected requesting entry into the arena.]

This is the first time the spacetime has been detected to have entered the arena; this entry will be exempt from Dream Points.

Based on your life rank, you will only be able to enter the intermediate arena to fight, and you can watch battles in the beginner and advanced arenas.

Please confirm whether you wish to enter.

"The first entry is exempt from Dream Points, which means I'll have to pay to enter the arena from now on?" Lor raised an eyebrow, paused for a moment on the second line of text, and then focused his mental energy on the 'Yes' option in the last line.

If it makes more money, then so be it.

The moment Lor made his choice, the space around him underwent a dramatic transformation.

The empty small platform disappeared, replaced by a vast, dark void shrouded in a verdant light shield.

At the same time, the words on the light screen in front of him changed on their own.

Arena Rules:

1: Each entry to the beginner arena costs 100 Dream Points, the intermediate arena costs 10,000 Dream Points, and the advanced arena costs 1 million Dream Points.

2: The first victory in the arena will reward you with the Dream Points you paid to enter. The second victory will reward you with double the Dream Points, the third victory with triple the Dream Points, the fourth victory with quadruple the Dream Points, and so on.

3: To enter the beginner-level arena to spectate, you need to pay 1 Dream Point, 100 Dream Points for intermediate-level arena, and 10000 Dream Points for advanced-level arena.

4: The Dream Points paid by spectators will be split between the winner of this gladiator match and the Second World 1-9, with the gladiator at 1 and the Second World at 9.

5: The intermediate arena can accommodate beings of the fourth to sixth tier for gladiatorial combat. The first gladiatorial match will be randomly matched with beings of the same tier. Starting from the second match, the matchmaking will no longer be limited to beings of the same tier.

6: If no life or death is determined within one hour, if they are not of the same level, the lower-level creature will be judged to have won; if they are of the same level, the creature that consumed less life force will be judged to have won.

7: After a duelist achieves a ten-game winning streak in the intermediate arena, they will be matched with an opponent with the same record and forced to start a star-level challenge.

(Note 1: There are no rewards for three stars before the star rating challenge. If you fail, the gladiator challenge will end and you will not be able to start the challenge again for a thousand years.)
(Note 2: Starting from the four-star challenge, each victory will double the Dream Point reward for a ten-win streak. For example, winning a four-star challenge in the intermediate arena will reward you with 200,000 Dream Points, five-star with 400,000, six-star with 800,000, and so on.)
(Note 3: Please be cautious when starting a four-star or higher challenge. If you fail, 50% of your Dream Points reward will be deducted and given to the challenged player, and the challenge will be terminated. You will not be able to start the challenge again for two thousand years.)
(Note 4: The highest star level challenge is nine stars. Nine stars can unlock the super limit battle, which is a sixth-tier battle against a seventh-tier battle. If you win, you will receive a reward of ten law points. If you lose, you cannot start the challenge again for five thousand years.)
(Note: The use of primal power and original laws is prohibited in gladiatorial combat. Death in gladiatorial combat will not have any impact on reality.)
The fifth-tier being 'Time and Space', are you ready to be matched with your first opponent?
whether】

"The use of primal power is prohibited, so my annihilation ability is useless."

Lor's gaze lingered on the third-to-last line of the prompt for a moment, then he glanced at Note 2 and the fourth rule. "If we calculate it this way, if we rely solely on the winning streak reward, I would need to reach at least seven stars to obtain enough Dream Points to exchange for a Second World Entry Permit."

"Unless there are enough viewers watching my match, it's impossible to get a million Dream Points in advance."

Conservatively speaking, it's unlikely that anyone in the first, second, or third-star challenges will reach the seventh-tier threshold, since only nine-star powerhouses can initiate seventh-tier battles and have the strength to defeat them head-on.

Working backwards, an eight-star powerhouse could remain undefeated for a period of time even when at a disadvantage against a seventh-tier being.

A Seven-Star expert will reach the threshold of the seventh rank, which is slightly stronger than Silver Wolf using his trump card.

He couldn't even handle the Silver Wolf, let alone a Seven-Star expert.

As for those whose strength is below the seventh rank threshold, he can at least remain undefeated unless he encounters a powerful figure from the soul faction.

However, experts from the Soul Faction are usually invincible among their peers, so it's unlikely that you'd encounter one unless you reached the Nine Stars level.

In terms of attack, his Great Disintegration Technique only has a mere 6.3 ring power, and in a head-on confrontation, he can't even beat a stronger sixth-tier opponent.

However, due to the sixth rule, it is not difficult for him to win by stalling for time against those who have not reached the seventh level threshold.

"Seven stars, the threshold of the seventh rank, it's probably close to being true."

Lor thought to himself, "I'll probably stop at six stars this time, and the reward of 800,000 Dream Points won't be enough. To get a million Dream Points in one go, I need to attract 200,000 viewers."

"I wonder what kind of gladiatorial combat the audience prefers, whether it's flashy or clean and simple?"

"Forget it, let's just be straightforward. I can't handle anything fancy. If all else fails, I can just finish this game and see if there's a way to earn more Dream Points in other games."

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gave up on his plan to deliberately attract the gladiatorial audience.

With a soft exhale, Lor focused his mental energy on the 'Yes' at the bottom of a long list of rules.

The first match is in progress.
Matchmaking complete. Your opponent will arrive at the arena in ten seconds, and the battle will begin in thirty seconds. Please prepare for the fight.

[Entry number for this gladiator match: 12]

In just a moment, the arena had completed the matchmaking.

"call--"

Looking at the slowly increasing number of viewers in the notification, Lor raised an eyebrow but didn't pay much attention. He focused his mental energy into his sea of ​​consciousness, activated his spatial true form, and manifested it to its limit of thirty miles in height.

Such a small audience is of little use; it's probably mostly brought by the opposing team.

After all, it was just the first battle of the fifth rank, and it wouldn't attract many creatures to watch.

The spatial origin true form, which is thirty miles high, is as inconspicuous as a speck of dust in the arena with a diameter of tens of millions of miles. However, the spatial element fluctuations caused by the spatial true form are extremely conspicuous, enough to be ignored by any living being.

Just as Lor manifested his true spatial form, outside the emerald green defensive shield that covered millions of miles.

Five strange creatures, each about three meters long and resembling rays, with pectoral fins that have evolved into foldable membranous wings, suddenly appeared.

They all looked towards the arena. Although they were five million miles apart, with the aid of the arena, they could clearly see the pitch-black figure, thirty miles tall, composed of spatial elements.

The moment they saw Lor, their eyes widened almost simultaneously.

"Hey, this is..."

"Good heavens, he's actually a powerful expert from the Space faction."

"Haha, Cavendish hit the jackpot! He's encountered this monster on his very first arena match."

"That's really unlucky, a thousand Dream Points were wasted just like that."

"Pfft-"

The Space Faction is considered an extremely powerful and mysterious faction by the beings of the Crystal Domain.

There are indeed those of the same level who can rival the spatial factions, but this definitely does not include their friends.

The stingrays were somewhat gloating over their friend's impending doom.

"Whoosh-"

When the countdown reached twenty seconds, a creature resembling a ray appeared five million miles opposite Lor, surrounded by a constantly flowing body of water.

"A spatial cultivator?!" Upon seeing Lor, the Hundred-Mile Ray's eyes widened in disbelief. The surging waters around it suddenly froze, creating a spectacular sight.

It was originally full of confidence, thinking that as long as it didn't encounter those cultivators with special systems, it would be considered a top-tier fighter among the fifth rank, and winning a battle would be no problem at all.

However, to his dismay, he not only encountered a cultivator from a special system, but also one of the most unique systems. He was incredibly unlucky.

If the arena hadn't forbidden it, it would have conceded defeat on the spot.

This thing is really impossible to fight.
The ray's words reached Lor's ears without missing a single one, and he understood them perfectly. "Hmm, hello," Lor nodded rather amiably.

This ray wasn't an enemy, just a rival, so he didn't mind chatting for a bit before the countdown ended.

Unfortunately, the ray opposite him didn't seem to want to chat with him. Instead, it just stared at him, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Lor abandoned his plan to chat and waited quietly for the gladiatorial combat to officially begin.

十.
Fives.

As the countdown ended, Lor didn't hesitate. He first used a spatial jump spell to instantly arrive within a million miles of the ray, and then used the Great Collapse spell to completely envelop the ray and the surrounding 100,000 miles of void.

"Kakaka-"

Under the influence of the 6.3 Ring Great Collapse Technique, the 100,000-mile void suddenly collapsed, turning into fragments of space that vibrated continuously, while the chaotic properties secretly covered the 100,000-mile area.

However, before the spatial fragments could launch a second attack, the ray couldn't withstand the spatial collapse alone, and it and the surrounding waters for thousands of miles turned into nothingness.

"Uh," Lor blinked, suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable.

In reality, even if he destroyed the enemy by disintegrating space, he would recover with a slight activation of his primordial power.

Only spatial fragments carrying annihilation properties can be considered a trump card, capable of annihilating even the origin.

In the arena, however, it's different; you win as long as you defeat your opponent once, which is far too easy.

Lor felt awkward, but outside the arena, things were in an uproar.

"Did you all see clearly the secret technique that spatial cultivator just used? I suspect I saw it wrong!"

"Look closely, these are the initial forms of two laws."

"hiss--"

"He's only at level five!"

"Outrageous! Cavendish didn't just encounter an ordinary spatial cultivator, but one of the most talented beings from a top-tier large civilization. I reckon this guy could even compete for a sixth-tier seventh star after reaching the sixth ring, right?"

"Heh, I won't argue with ordinary spatial cultivators saying they're at the sixth or seventh rank, but I think this one is capable of reaching the sixth or eighth rank. Even now, I believe he has a chance to enter the Star Challenge!"

"That's true, tsk, I don't know whether to say Cavendish was lucky or unlucky to have met such a genius."

The five rays chattered excitedly, each taking turns to speak.

They had seen geniuses of this caliber before, but only in the seven-star and eight-star challenges, and all of them were sixth-tier powerhouses.

This time, however, was fundamentally different from the past. This creature was also a fifth-tier being, and had even fought with their friends, which subtly brought the two sides closer together and gave them a sense of participation.

Just then, five beams of light appeared in front of them.

The duel has ended, and spectator privileges will soon be revoked.

"I don't know if he'll continue, but if he does, I'll definitely watch!"

"Me too."

"I estimate it will continue. Although his attack power is only around the middle level of the sixth rank, the strength of the spatial faction is not in attack. I estimate that by dragging it out, we can achieve a ten-game winning streak."

"Time and space, tsk, time and space again. It's a pity that it only followed the spatial faction. But it's still much better than those that don't occupy anything but are named time and space."

"I'll let those guys know that a fifth-order space faction genius isn't so easy to find."

"I'm so envious, a level 5 player can have a chance for a ten-game winning streak."

【1】

As the countdown reached zero, the five rays' heated discussion ceased, and the arena fell silent once more.

In the center of the arena, Lor couldn't hear the discussion among the spectators and could only turn his attention to the emerald green light screen that had appeared in front of him.

[First gladiator victory, 10,500 Dream Points accumulated. Please choose whether to continue the challenge.]

Yes/No (If you refuse to continue the challenge, 10,500 Dream Points will be awarded directly, and you will be prohibited from starting the challenge again for 1,000 years)

A victory earns 10,000 Dream Points, and the remaining 50 points are the proceeds from the five rays watching the battle.

Lor glanced at the Dream Points he had gained and immediately chose to continue the challenge, while also activating a spatial domain that covered an area of ​​millions of miles.

A mere 10,000 points is just a drop in the ocean, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

It's worth mentioning that right after the gladiatorial combat ended, the elemental energy he had consumed in casting the Space Jump spell and the Great Collapse spell was automatically replenished.

In this way, he no longer worried about the consumption of elemental energy and could unleash the full power of his domain without restraint.

The second match is in progress.
Matchmaking complete. Your opponent will arrive at the arena in ten seconds, and the battle will begin in thirty seconds. Please prepare for the fight.

[Entry number for this gladiator match: 1755106]

Seeing the unusually large number of spectators, he glanced outside the emerald green arena and was surprised to find that the rays had returned, and more rays were constantly appearing.

"Interesting." Lor smiled and shook his head, ignoring them and silently waiting for the arena countdown to end.

off the field.

"Haha, Cavendish, you're here too?"

How did you feel just now?

"How does it feel to be attacked by spatial arcane magic?"

"It's a pity you didn't invite me to your gladiatorial combat! I missed a great fight."

The group of rays started teasing the ray located to the right rear.

Clearly, this is the stingray that previously 'fought' with Lor.

"very good!"

Cavendish rolled his eyes. "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you weren't even qualified to try."

Is it a disgrace to be defeated by a genius of the Space Faction?

"No!"

"This is not a disgrace. When he becomes a sixth-tier, seven-star, or even eight-star powerhouse in the future, this battle will be my honor!"

It rattled off a string of words, leaving the group of rays speechless.

Upon closer examination, they realized that what this guy said seemed to make a lot of sense.
