Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Here, a magical ritual, all set up, is about to begin.

The old man raised his wooden staff and began chanting an incantation. A deep blue spiritual energy shone in his eyes. Soon, spiritual energy appeared on the staff and was channeled into the array.

An inexplicable and unpredictable spiritual energy enveloped the entire building, and even the surrounding area within a radius of twenty or thirty meters.

The fat man was quite perceptive and sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the small building at the outpost. He looked at Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao had already activated his demon-hunting senses and was squinting as he began to observe the aura.

Tonight, the night is clear and the stars are few, with the bright moon, like a silver platter, casting its silvery glow. Under the moonlight, the small building seems to be coated with a layer of silver powder.

Zhao Hao saw a layer of flowing spiritual energy forming a semicircle, trapping the small building within it.

Above the small building, a tangled ball of seven colors was constantly churning.

The shape of the Qi Luck is very strange, it is not stable at all, and it changes repeatedly every moment. What exactly is this thing?

Zhao Hao said, "The other side has resorted to some tricks. A barrier whose function is unclear; all we know is that it has no defensive or offensive capabilities. It's probably more of a support type. With such a large barrier, I suspect someone has been controlling it all along..."

This is the disadvantage for the attacking side. Now that the Red Gate's leader has been tricked and killed, the Red Gate is in a dilemma and has to fight back.

The Mafia was mentally prepared, and at this point, they were essentially waiting in ambush.

But we have no choice but to fight!

It's like a boxing match where the Mafia chooses to challenge the reigning champion, the Red Gate.

Before the fight even started, he had already insulted the reigning champion with trash talk, then remained vigilant and defensive, waiting for the champion to attack. The champion had no choice but to take the initiative; any hesitation would cost him face.

The fat man cracked his neck, making a creaking sound. "Alright! Never mind what it is, let's go! At worst, we'll just tear this building down. It's nothing more than some kind of formation; I've seen plenty of these kinds of things!"

Zhao Hao and the fat man certainly couldn't choose to enter through the main entrance. If they were targeted by a group of twenty or so gunmen, they would be in deep trouble.

The two decided to enter the small building separately, about twenty meters apart. This distance would make it easier for them to support each other.

As soon as they stepped into that area of ​​spiritual energy, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

The scenery in front of Zhao Hao had changed!

Although it was still night, the surrounding area was no longer the old, abandoned warehouse district, but an endless meadow. The small building was about a hundred meters away!

Without saying a word, Zhao Hao turned back, only to find that the small building was still more than a hundred meters away.

Zhao Hao turned his head left and right and found that no matter which direction he faced, he was always facing the small building.

"There's no way out! I was wondering what kind of barrier it was, turns out it's a large-scale illusion barrier?!"

He thought for a moment, then replaced [Black Tiger Charge - Afu] with [Gargamel], used the skin card [Deadly Judge], and put on the [Mysterious Badge].

Then a gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhao Hao was no longer where he was.

The old man who was presiding over the illusion array in the basement suddenly frowned. He had suddenly lost track of one of the extraordinary beings!

The gunmen who were lying in ambush inside the building, ready to unleash a barrage of shots, were suddenly stunned. How could the person have just disappeared all of a sudden?!

At this moment, the fat man also guessed what had happened.

He wasn't flustered at all; he had seen many more sophisticated formations.

This one is still a bit rough!

The fat man pulled a horn-like object from his bag, scraped off some powder with a knife, and then lit it. Instantly, a wisp of white smoke rose straight up, and the spiritual energy forming the illusionary magic array dissipated wherever it went…

This is a rhinoceros horn. Those who are of one mind and understand each other perfectly are adept at dispelling illusions and mirages.

Meanwhile, Wang Genji had already carefully infiltrated underground, wearing a specially made leather suit that resembled a diving suit and carrying an oxygen tank.

He sensed a network of psychic energy underground!

This is the energy flow of the formation, like a net catching what lies beneath. Once it touches something, the target will know and react.

Even the best-laid plans can have flaws! This formation is far too weak in protecting the underground!

Indeed, the other party would never have guessed that a terrestrial immortal would be coming!

He needs to find a chance to sneak in without touching the array's spiritual energy.

……

Zhao Hao used the non-human nature of the skin card "Deadly Judge" along with chaos magic and a mysterious badge to temporarily evade the array's surveillance.

For a moment, he couldn't decide whether or not to go near that building.

It was obvious that the closer one got to the small building, the tighter the formation became. And there were definitely other ambushes hidden there!

This formation has no offensive capabilities, but it can create illusions. Under these circumstances, the probability of being ambushed is too high.

If you were to be hit by a dozen guns firing at you, there's a good chance you'd be blown to bits in an instant!

But now, in this illusion, he wasn't even sure if the small building was really where he was looking.

Now even the demon hunter's senses can't see anything; there's flowing psionic energy everywhere, and everything is chaotic.

How to do this?

Before he could even think of a solution, it was already too late to even consider it!

"Got you!" a voice whispered.

Zhao Hao hurriedly tried to drift away with the yin wind, but he was enveloped by another strange barrier and failed.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically!

"Where is this?!" Zhao Hao looked at the somewhat familiar scenery around him with some surprise.

This place has been transformed into a huge arena, somewhat like the ancient Roman Colosseum that Zhao Hao had seen in pictures, but much smaller, with only two levels.

On the surrounding ten-meter-high stone walls are tiers of seating, where excited spectators, their faces obscured, are cheering and jumping for joy.

In the sky and around the arena, psionic energy flowed endlessly, like a sea of ​​stars. Looking further afield, one could even see some colorful bubbles!

Is this a dream?!

------------

Chapter 108 Let's duel!

In the instant he was being pulled, Zhao Hao instinctively canceled his skin card to prevent anyone from discovering his disguise.

He immediately sensed and recognized where he was.

This is a dream!

Zhao Hao found the previous illusion to be incredibly wondrous.

Zhao Hao quickly skimmed through the information and formed a general guess.

The unknown magic circle enveloped the area, greatly increasing spiritual energy and activating it.

Under this artificial "psychic resurgence," the "psychic vision" of this land surged, and it began to move closer to the underworld.

Although this illusion is fabricated, it is so realistic that it is indistinguishable from reality.

If everything is fake, it's just visual deception, which is easy to see through. For example, if you drop a stone, it looks far away but is actually very close.

However, the formation transformed this area with spiritual energy, and by moving closer to the inner world, the scenery of the inner world was projected in, artificially creating a pseudo-inner world, which became an illusion that was both real and unreal!

It must be said, their thinking was truly ingenious.

In fact, this was a method developed by some extraordinary individuals in Europe during a period of psychic dormancy.

To minimize the impact of the dormancy of psionic energy in the surface world, to demonstrate the power of the extraordinary within a small area, and to a certain extent to shield ordinary people from participation.

However, in the eyes of the dormant spiritual energy of the surface world, this illusion array could not achieve this level of capability.

Even now, the old illusionist at the Black Iron 4-star level has already done everything he can to encompass such a large area and deal with Zhao Hao and his three companions, as well as his own three extraordinary beings.

He had to preside over the magic array in the basement and could not be distracted for even a moment.

That illusion array was already quite mysterious, giving Zhao Hao a lot of inspiration for developing his dream system.

I never expected to be pulled into this strange dream barrier, which opened my eyes to a whole new world.

If that illusion array can be considered mysterious, then this dream arena can be described as magical!

Incredibly, the scene was recreated within the Psionic Sea, imprinted with the surging emotions of countless gladiators and spectators, forming a dreamlike arena barrier.

This is truly a masterpiece!

It seems these foreign superhumans shouldn't be underestimated.

Zhao Hao had previously thought they were a warrior, mage, and priest—a classic trio!

……

The illusion array was very enlightening for Zhao Hao, and this dreamlike arena was simply showing Zhao Hao a way to solve the problem!

Dreams can do so much! They can even incorporate rules and regulations!

Just as Zhao Hao was admiring this rare scene, the gladiator grew impatient.

His name was Lucius, and he was an Italian.

He was chosen by the extraordinary members of his family when he was eight years old and began to receive professional training. He started competing, fighting, and killing from a young age!

From humans to animals and finally to supernatural beings, the number of creatures that have died at his hands must be at least eight hundred or a thousand.

This is how he became a super gladiator, inheriting the extraordinary profession that originated in Roman times and was specifically created for combat.

At the beginning of this month, he suddenly comprehended the ability "Glory Arena," which can only be mastered by a high-level gladiator champion with a Black Iron 5-star rating!

What does this mean? It means that he, at Black Iron 4-star, is a genius, and will soon reach the peak of Black Iron level!

Only in this age of active psionic energy could I level up so quickly.

This was, in fact, the first time Lucius had ever used his own Arena of Glory.

To be on the safe side, he chose Zhao Hao, who was of a lower rank, as his opponent.

That's right, Zhao Hao's psionic level is at Iron 1-star, and at most he can only be rated as Iron 2-star.

The growth of psionic power is not something that can be achieved overnight; the most important thing is to be grounded and practical.

If one day you suddenly experience a surge in spiritual energy after drinking a vial of medicine or worshipping a god, it means you're about to have bad luck.

Psychic energy is the spiritual power represented by mental thought, and a sudden surge in psychic energy is definitely not a good thing.
