Chapter 4 Refereeing Work

The first level of the Sky Arena is divided into four competition zones: A, B, C, and D. Each of the four zones contains many small arenas.

The first tier of seating is free; anyone can enter the first tier to watch the show.

However, starting from the 10th floor, you need to buy a ticket for the competition. The price is not expensive, about the price of a bottle of juice. The higher the floor, the more expensive the ticket becomes.

In addition to the competition area, Sky Arena also has many commercial areas, making the entire Sky Arena a large commercial district.

The city is also famous because of the Sky Arena, which single-handedly made the city prosperous.

Lucci arrived at Division B under the guidance of a referee.

When Lucci appeared, he still attracted some attention.

"Look, everyone!"

"Is that the referee's uniform?"

"Are there referees this young?"

......

Lucci's clothes were easily recognized by some viewers, and they immediately started talking about it.

Applying to be a referee in the Sky Arena isn't easy; it requires passing an exam and possessing a certain level of combat ability.

For example, contestants who are stuck below the 100th floor and can't climb higher, due to financial constraints, may choose to apply for a referee position in the Sky Arena.

Given the existing conditions, it's unlikely that someone of Lucci's age would become a referee.

Lucci was placed next to the ring to observe first.

Soon, the arena they were interested in was set up for a match.

With the Sky Arena becoming famous, a large number of people come to Kree City every day. After all, this is the only place where you can earn money by fighting.

Although the Sky Arena was built for martial artists, what truly attracts so many people to take on the challenge is the generous prize money.

The first floor is also where the most competitions take place, since it's where the starting line is located.

There are probably tens of thousands of matches taking place on the first floor every day.

Lucci would observe and, while waiting, would also visit other arenas.

Starting from the first floor, the skill levels of the competitors are the most uneven.

Many of these matches are more like street brawls, where fighters with real fighting skills will show their abilities during the fight.

Lu Qi noticed that fighters with a fighting background are usually promoted to level 30 by the referee, while level 50 is relatively rare.

Unless it is exceptionally outstanding.

There weren't many fighters on the first floor for Lucci to "copy" moves and techniques; it was more about letting Lucci familiarize himself with the referee's work process.

At the end of the day, I had achieved some results.

He can officially start his job tomorrow.

However, unlike the heavy workload of the referees on the first floor, he only judges a maximum of 20 matches a day, as he still needs to hone his skills.

the next day.

Today, Lu Qi was assigned to be the referee at ring number 85 in Division C.

There was naturally another round of discussion in the audience.

"Contestants number 2558 and 3648, please proceed to arena number 85 in area C for the match."

The announcement was broadcasting to the contestants.

Soon the two contestants stepped onto the ring.

Both were young men in their early twenties, one of whom had bandages wrapped around his hand.

Lucci could tell from their stance as they entered the ring that they were not ordinary fighters, but rather people with combat experience.

"Are there referees your age at Sky Arena?" The young player, his arm wrapped in bandages, asked directly.

Another contestant expressed skepticism: "Can a judge like you really set the standards?"

Lucci did not choose to answer their questions.

Instead, he asked directly, "Are both contestants ready? If so, shall the match begin?"

"Never mind." The bandaged young man didn't want to dwell on these things; all he wanted to do now was advance in the competition.

As for the other one, he was a little annoyed to see Lucci like that.

At Lucci's command to begin, the two fighters immediately engaged in combat.

Because they all possessed a certain level of fighting skill, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

The two were locked in combat. Lucci could tell that the younger man with bandages was not as strong as his opponent, but he was still capable of fighting him.

Young people with bandages react faster and can quickly take countermeasures even if they are not as good as their opponents.

While watching the fight, Lucci could tell that both of them were probably at the level of ordinary fighters, at most around level 70 to 80, and couldn't even beat someone at level 100.

Lucci had been in the Sky Arena for a long time and had watched many matches, so he was familiar with the skill levels of each floor.

If you are weaker than your opponent, you will inevitably lose if you hold out for too long.

The young man with the bandages finally had a moment of slow reaction and was directly kicked by a flying kick, sending him flying.

The direction is Lucci's location.

Lucci, however, easily dodged it.

"Clean Hit, player 3648, scores one point," Lucci announced the score.

His gaze fell on contestant number 3648, who even smiled at him.

The other party's actions just now were intentional.

Is he planning to "retaliate" against me because I didn't respond to his indifference earlier?

This kind of mentality is really... disgusting!

The battle continued, and the bandaged young man quickly got up.

Although he has a certain level of fighting skills, is he still mostly a self-taught fighter?

Watching the battle, Lucci analyzed even more details.

Soon, contestant number 3648 scored 5 points again.

The result of this match seems to be already in.

As the battle progressed, the bandaged youth seemed to be losing his strength.

"Your skill level is not bad, but unfortunately, your opponent is me." Number 3648 was still declaring his victory.

It was as if he had already won.

They knocked down their opponent again and scored 1 point.

Lucci announced the score with a blank expression.

But he could see something: contestant number 2558 was showing weakness.

Do you want to use this to lower the other party's guard?

To win, you have to knock out your opponent with a single blow, leaving them with no chance to fight back.

When contestant number 3648 scored 9 points, contestant number 2558 fell in front of Lu Qi once again.

Lu Qi looked at the other party, thinking, "This is truly a provocation time and time again."

"Why isn't the count up yet?" contestant number 3648 yelled at Lu Qi.

He was very unhappy with Lucci's face. If Lucci wasn't the referee, he probably would have wanted to beat him up too.

Lucci glanced at the bandaged youth, who seemed too weak to even get up.

But Lucci knew the other party was acting.

"10, 9..." Lucci began to count down.

Meanwhile, contestant number 3648 seemed to find Lucci's countdown too slow, and walked over to kick the bandaged youth off the ring to score the final point.

But just as he got close, the bandaged youth lying on the ground suddenly attacked.
