The Great Seminary

Chapter 424 What's the point?

In this world, in ancient mythology...

Longbo, like Kuafu, is depicted as a giant demon god.

Longbo even had it.
'East of the Bohai Sea, countless miles away, lies a great chasm... called Guixu...'

The waters of the eight directions and nine fields, the flow of the Milky Way, all flow into it…and within it lie five mountains…

The first is Daiyu, the second is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is Penglai…

Its height and circumference are 30,000 li, and its flat top is 9,000 li. The distance between the two parts of the mountain is 70,000 li...

Fifteen giant turtles were born and raised their heads to support it...

The Dragon Lord could reach the five mountains in a few steps, and catch six turtles with a single fishing rod…

The legend says, "So much so that when the Ruins collapsed, its pure 'power' reached the pinnacle of the world!"

It means that there was a place called Guixu east of the ancient Bohai Sea.

Within the 'Ruins' are five colossal and unparalleled sacred mountains: Daiyu, Yuanqiao, Fanghu, Yingzhou, and Penglai.

Fifteen giant turtles carried loads at the foot of the mountain, floating on the waves.

As a result, the ancient god Longbo came to Guixu and caught six giant turtles with a single fishing rod.

Ultimately, this led to the collapse of the mountains and the disintegration of the ruins.

Therefore, if we only consider 'strength', He should be considered the strongest in the world...

While sitting, I just felt that Long Bochun was a big, strong woman.

If it weren't for the fact that the armor styles are 'different for men and women', with the female armor having a particularly 'imposing' chest, it would be almost impossible to tell that she is a heroic figure.

When he stood up, his height was even more astonishing, reaching about ten feet in length.

An ordinary person's head is only between her waist and abdomen. When she stares at Zhang Gui, it's like looking at a child, creating a strong sense of oppression.

However, Zhang Gui, facing her piercing gaze, chuckled dryly twice and softly refused:

"No need, the hardest person to surpass is actually yourself."

Other competitions are merely for external things or for one's own pride.

This is what it means to be "attached to appearances."

"You're so attached to appearances, you don't even believe in Buddhism, do you? You're really good at 'talking nonsense'..."

Upon hearing this, Long Bochun pursed his lips, as if he was about to say something more.

A 'horned warrior' clad in leather armor and wearing a hood with black iron horns sewn onto its head had already opened the gate on the other side of the 'arena' and shouted loudly:
“Long Bochun, the mighty warrior, it is your turn to take the stage.”

With a roar, a noisy heat wave rushed into the 'White Tiger Cave'.

Looking outwards.

A huge circular plaza, paved with black soil, was a scene of devastation, riddled with potholes and soaked in blood.

The more than 10,000 stone seats spiraling upwards above the square were about 70-80% full.

Although there were still empty seats in the 'official seating area', the 'booth seating' was already completely full.

Many people, their faces flushed, shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Longbo, Longbo, Longbo, annihilate, annihilate, annihilate..."

The so-called 'extermination' is just a small appearance after the 'Kunlun Demon Arena' has completely subdued the earth demon.

The scene depicts the 'fighter' displaying overwhelming strength and then calmly slaughtering the earth demon.

The more brutal and creative the killing, the better.

After all, the excitement of a 'demon battle' largely stems from the strength of the opponent.

However, as a special kind of 'performance', it still requires the participants to demonstrate their 'acting skills'.

If the 'performance' is particularly outstanding, it might even steal the show...

Hearing the cheers of the crowd, Long Bochun, in a state of blissful ecstasy, made a chest-expanding gesture, as if embracing something, and swayed as he walked towards the arena. "Performative personality disorder, huh? No wonder he's acting so strangely. I'll have to stay away from him from now on."

Zhang Gui, standing to the side, watched her retreating figure and murmured to himself.

At this moment, several 'wrestlers' forcefully closed the gate to the arena once again.

Several other young men with fierce temperaments who were participating in the "Battle of the People's Warriors" in the "White Tiger Cave" suddenly shouted when they saw this.

They managed to rouse the servants from the 'Kunlun Great Demon Arena' to come over.

"When we arrived, the gates to the arena were already closed. How come they were closed again just after we opened them?"

I was really looking forward to secretly watching the scene of that strange 'big woman' fighting the demon.

Does this mean that if everyone comes here for a "battle of the common people," they have to pay to "watch the fight"?

The servant, seeing their drunken state and looking at them as if they were a group of dead men, still politely explained:
"The brave men have misunderstood."

The gates are only opened when brave warriors enter or leave the arena; otherwise, they must be kept tightly closed—this is the rule of the Kunlun Great Demon Arena.

However, after you all finish fighting the Earth Demon, if you're willing...

You can go directly to the stands in the arena to 'watch the martial arts', and there will be fine wine and snacks as a treat.

"For now, please be patient and focus on preparing for the battle."

These young men clearly came from humble backgrounds and were uncouth in nature.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have overheard Long Bochun and Zhang Gui talking loudly and casually about the "Xia Que" military leaders and the various officials in the "court," yet he didn't seem to care at all.

The disturbance with the servants at the 'Kunlun Great Battle Arena' was simply because some of them were too drunk, got carried away, and acted out of spite.

After being politely persuaded by the servant, his enthusiasm dissipated, and he dared not continue to make a ruckus in the 'Kunlun Great Demon Battle Arena' and became well-behaved.

They continued drinking and boasting there, waiting for the moment when they would make a name for themselves.

After a while, another gladiator opened the gate on the other side of the arena.

This time, however, they shouted, "Chengyang Dragon Tiger, Chengyang Warrior, come quickly, it's your turn to go on stage."

Zhang Gui was taken aback, then got up and walked over, politely confirming the question.
"Manager, I'm late, so please don't get the order wrong and make you the one who gets the last laugh."

"There's no mistake, those who fight one-on-one go first, and those who fight in groups go later, so you go first."

The horned man was also taken aback, then grinned and said:

"The brave man doesn't smell of alcohol at all, yet he's so composed. He must be a 'playboy' from outside."

Looks like I, Old Di, am in for another good show.

Zhang Gui chuckled noncommittally and strolled into the arena.

Old Di, the minor leader of the "Horned Warriors," and his men then resealed the gate of the "White Tiger Cave."

He immediately ran with great interest to the isolation array, to the blood-stained barrier.

He crossed his arms, wiggled his toes, and looked on with anticipation.

Seeing this, one of his close subordinates moved closer to him, trying to be friendly.

"Hey, Di Tou, what's this kid who's going up this time? Is he some kind of formidable character who came to Kunlun to make a name for himself because of the 'Star Pointing Gathering'?"

"Eight or nine out of ten."

"Hey, you're getting all high and mighty now, but I really don't understand."

You know, these people are so young yet they have such great abilities and are so incredibly wealthy.

Why go to such lengths and exert so much effort to struggle with all this and that? What are they trying to achieve?

"What's the point? Hehe, you've got food and drink, a wife and kids, a warm bed, you have everything you need."

Why are you still eyeing my position?

"You're allowed to want to improve yourself, but others aren't..."
