Sky One Number One Fighting Ground was a big fighting ground.
It occupied a radius of 330 kilometers. A circular grandstand with fifty levels was surrounding the fighting ground.
At the center of the fighting ground was a huge fighting ring with a radius of 16.5 kilometers.
Long stone platforms were below the fighting ring and six top powers were sitting on them.
The six of them were middle-aged men and they were from the Six Great Palaces. They were the deacons from the Six Great Palaces who were in charge of the Fighting Ground.
At that moment, a fierce fight was taking place in the fighting ring. They were two Rank 2 True Gods with imposing aura.
The circular grandstand was already packed with martial artists and it was boisterous.
Su Mo sat with the crowd and watched the fight.
After sitting there for a while, he understood the rules.
It was a betting fighting ground. The two participants could bet with each other and a betting stall had even been set up by some of them.
The bet was exaggerated.
Take the current fight, for example, the bet was 5,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones.
In the Deity Plane, one Middle-grade Dawn Stone was equivalent to 100 Lower-grade Dawn Stones.
5,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones would be equivalent to 500,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones.
Oh? They are here!
Su Mo glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw four people walking into the fighting ground.
Two of them were male and the other two were female. They were Qin’er and the other three.
They did not hide their identities! Su Mo was surprised to see that the four of them did not hide their identity. Most of the people who came to Sky One Empty World had hidden their identities and used pseudonyms.
Soon, the four of them had found their seats and sat on the grandstand opposite Su Mo.
Su Mo glanced at them and shifted his gaze away.
He was thinking of the bet. If he wanted to participate in the fight, he had to hand over the Dawn Stones to the six deacons as the bet. However, he did not have any Dawn Stones with him.
I will have to use Taiyun Divine Sword as my bet!
Su Mo sighed. He did not have a choice as he was penniless.
Chu Yan and the other three were watching the fight on the other side of the grandstand.
“I can’t see any gifted geniuses from the Five Palaces!” Chu Yan told the three of them.
The gifted geniuses from the other palaces would not hide their identities if they were around. Since he did not see them, they must be absent.
“They will be here!” Ji Yuesong said. After he had participated in the fight and beaten the martial artists up, the geniuses would appear.
“Brother Yuesong, are you confident enough to do it?” Qin’er asked in amazement as she knew what Ji Yuesong had in mind.
“My confidence comes from my strength!”
Ji Yuesong replied with a smile. He said confidently, “Qin’er, Luo Yu, Chu Yan, I will show you that I am not inferior to any of the gifted geniuses in Human Palace!”
“We are looking forward to seeing it!” Qin’er said with a smile.
There were less than 100 gifted geniuses in the Human Palace and that was already a good number of them.
Among those geniuses, the top ten with the greatest talents were known as the Top 10 Herculean in Human Palace.
The most powerful Top 10 Herculean was Ye Lingtian. He was widely accepted by all the Holy Courts as the Favored One and he was well-known in the Deity Plane and the Nine Great Regions.
Ye Lingtian was over 1,000 years old and he had a high cultivation level. Although he was not a Supreme Being yet, he was almost there.
Although Ji Yuesong did not get into the Top 10 Herculean, everyone acknowledged him as a gifted genius in Human Palace.
Thus, Ji Yuesong had prepared himself this time around. He wanted to take everybody by surprise in Sky One Number One Fighting Ground and become one of the Top 10 Herculeans.
“Brother Yuesong, I believe that you can do it!” Luo Yu said with a smile.
Luo Yu had great confidence in Ji Yuesong as she was well aware of his talent.
If he was not talented, Luo Yu would not have accepted him as her lover. He would not be her future partner in cultivation either.
She had chosen Ji Yuesong as she knew him well.
“Brother Yuesong, before you show your power, how about allowing me to show off first?” Chu Yan asked with a smile.
Chu Yan wanted to take part in the fight not only to earn some Dawn Stones but because he wanted to impress Qin’er.
Although Chu Yan was not as talented as Ji Yuesong, he was not too far off from him.
“Sure!” Ji Yuesong nodded. He was not in a hurry to take part in the fight.
“Great. I shall take the field in a while!” Chu Yan said. He had to wait for a while as there were martial artists fighting in the ring.
…
Su Mo sat on the grandstand and watched the fight. He was waiting.
He was waiting for an empty fighting ring so that he could take the field and invite the martial artists to bet with him. After he had won a few million Lower-grade Dawn Stones, he would leave.
Lose?
Su Mo had never thought of losing. As long as he did not take on someone who was a few realms higher than him, he would never lose the fight.
Soon, the fight had ended. The one who had won the fight received 5,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones from the one who had lost.
After this, the two participants flew out of the fighting ring.
Su Mo immediately stood up and got ready to get into the fighting ring. There were too many people around. If he did not take the field, he had no idea when he would be able to do so.
However, although Su Mo was fast, he was still slower than someone.
In a flash, Chu Yan landed in the fighting ring.
“I am Chu Yan from Human Palace and I am at Rank 1 Advanced True God Realm. Anyone who is at the same rank is welcomed to take me on!”
Chu Yan said as he looked around. He was in a yellow robe, and he stood tall in the fighting ring.
“It’s Chu Yan!”
“Chu Yan has great combat strength!”
“He’s from the Human Palace!”
“Human Palace has started to challenge the geniuses from the other Palaces!”
The crowd from the grandstand started to look at Chu Yan. The men from Human Palace and those who lived near Human City recognized him.
However, some of the martial artists from the rest of the Palaces and other regions did not know him.
Everyone started to take the fight seriously. Those martial artists who openly declared their names and did not hide their identities were usually the geniuses.
Since Chu Yan had revealed his identity, he had to be a genius.
However, regardless of Chu Yan’s great strength, there would be martial artists who would take him on.
Swoosh!
A burly youth in a black shirt flew into the fighting ring and landed opposite Chu Yan.
“Chu Yan, let’s fight!”
The youth in a black shirt said as he looked at Chu Yan. In an instant, his appearance and aura changed drastically.
“I am Gu Yuanjiang from Earthly Palace. Since you have openly stated who you are, I shall make known my identity as well!” The youth in a black shirt said.
“Gu Yuanjiang?”
Chu Yan squinted his eyes when he heard the name. Since he had heard the name before, he believed that the guy must be well-known.
“Oh, he’s Gu Yuanjiang from Earthly Palace!”
“Gu Yuanjiang has great talent and powerful combat strength. He is a Rank 1 Advanced True God and he has the ability to take Chu Yan on!”
“The show is about to start!”
Many people were discussing on the grandstand.
Sky One Number One Fighting Ground was perpetually filled with contestants. However, the most interesting fights would be between the geniuses from the Six Great Palaces.
The reason being after the genius from one of the Six Palaces had been defeated, the rest of the geniuses would start to participate in the fight.
After all, none of the Palaces would want to be seen as weaklings.
800 years ago, when Ye Lingtian, the Favored One, had come to Sky One Number One Fighting Ground, he was invincible. He had defeated many geniuses from the rest of the Palaces.
None of the geniuses from the Five Palaces could take it lying down and they had challenged Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian had defeated almost 100 geniuses from the Five Palaces.
However, in the end, Ye Lingtian lost the fight. He had lost to Tian Chenyu, the most powerful genius from Heavenly Palace by one stroke.
Tian Chenyu, who was currently known as the White-robed Supreme Being, was well-known in the Deity Plane as one of the Great Supreme Beings.
“Chu Yan, name the price of the bet!” Gu Yuanjiang said as he looked at Chu Yan.
“How about 300,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones?” Chu Yan named the bet without giving it much thought.
Chu Yan had a lot of Dawn Stones but he would not name a ridiculous amount. 300,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones was already a hefty sum to ordinary Rank 1 True Gods.
“Alright!” Gu Yuanjiang nodded in agreement.
The two of them threw their storage rings to the Administration Counter, which was handled by the six deacons from the Six Palaces.
The storage rings contained the Dawn Stones. They were real Dawn Stones and not replicas.
After the deacons had checked the storage rings, they nodded to confirm the amount.
At that instant, the entire fighting ring went silent.
Chu Yan and Gu Yuanjiang stood in the fighting ring and looked grim. Powerful aura started to rise from their bodies.
Su Mo sat down and looked impassive.
Chu Yan, I hope that you will win the fight! Su Mo said in his heart.
If Chu Yan won the fight, Su Mo would take him on.
Su Mo was frustrated with Chu Yan. However, he had to suppress his frustration as they were in Human Palace.
Since no one knew his identity in the fighting ring, he could teach Chu Yan a lesson.
If I have the opportunity to take you on, I will make sure that you’d rather end your life!
