Chapter 599 - 91: The Four Divisions
Chapter 599 - 91: The Four Divisions
Gu Feng and Qi both arrived at the Sky Wings Arena today, where Qi participated in a magic duel.
Gu Feng is a Light Mage; on his own, it’s inconvenient to enter the competition. His method of improving his cultivation is to ceaselessly offer healing services.
Therefore, he began looking for the injured within the Arena, providing treatments at a very favorable price of five gold coins each.
Unexpectedly, before Gu Feng had finished healing, several mages looking fierce and hostile, claiming to be from the Dark Medicine Pavilion, fiercely attacked him.
Had it not been for Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere to defend himself, and coincidentally with Qi having finished his competition and stepping in, Gu Feng might have been treated even more brutally.
"The Dark Medicine Pavilion again?" Yun Sheng listened, her delicate brows furrowing tightly, "Didn’t you also go to the Sky Wings Arena before? Did you not encounter a similar situation then?"
"Not at all, back then I was with Elder Helian and Master Guangxi, and I only healed our own team members, I never encountered anything to do with the Dark Night Pavilion," Gu Feng still looked indignant. He had always been proud of being a Light Mage, but this time, he felt the disadvantage of the Light Mages, unable to resist at all.
Hearing this, Donghuang Lingling’s gaze dimmed slightly.
"Elder Helian and the others must have also been aware of the rules here, it’s just that they had previously overlooked some things and protected everyone well. The other party didn’t act out of respect for Mainland Elite Camp, but now that we’re acting alone, and our cultivation is so-so, they took the opportunity to bully us," Qi analyzed from the side.
Yun Sheng also agreed with Qi’s viewpoint.
Elder Helian must have anticipated that they would face suppression.
This training experience was also to help everyone better understand the darkness of Sky Wing City, to train both strength and mind.
"Actually, we encountered a similar situation today," Yun Sheng shared the incident experienced by herself and Donghuang Lingling with the two of them.
It seems that the power of the Dark Medicine Line is even more formidable than Yun Sheng had imagined, not just within Sky Wing City, but also within the Arena itself, their influence is terrifying.
They have jurisdiction over everything from the sale of Elixirs and Magic Medicine to regular Magic Healing.
"I also tried my luck in the Arena today, participating in two duels, but... I didn’t win any prize money," Qi admitted somewhat sheepishly.
The others were somewhat surprised. Could it be that despite Qi’s abilities, he actually lost both matches?
It turns out that as the number one Arena on the continent, the Sky Wings Arena has very special competition rules.
Moreover, the fights at the Sky Wings Arena weren’t what she’d expected, not solely duels between Sky Mages or those of the Martial Saint Level.
If that were the case, Elder Helian would not have brought them here for training.
The competitions at the Sky Wings Arena are divided into two types based on the number of competitors, individual and duo duels.
Based on the strength of the participants, there are four competition divisions: Sky Wings, Earth Wing, Xuan Yi, and Yellow Wing divisions.
These four symbolize four different levels of competition, with different prize money and participants for each.
Sky Wings, as the name suggests, is the highest level of competition. Only individuals such as Martial Saints with Dou Qi Wings or mages, martial artists, and summoners of Sky Mage Level can participate in the individual, team, and individual duels, which all must occur in the sky.
The prize money for a single duel can be as high as ten thousand gold coins.
Earth Wing refers to competitions at the Martial Arts Sect Level or the Holy Mage Level, which can take place in the sky or on the ground, with a prize of one thousand gold coins for a single contest.
Xuan Wing is the only one of the four types of contests where Demon Beasts compete, with a prize of five hundred gold coins for a single contest.
Yellow Wing, among these four levels, doesn’t restrict the competitors’ levels, but strictly forbids participants above the Martial Saint or Sky Mage Level from entering this free-for-all competition, with a prize of five hundred gold coins for a single contest.
Among these four types of contests, the Sky Wings Level competition has the highest prize money and entertainment value.
This is undoubtedly true because high-level experts such as Sky Mages and Martial Saints are rare on the Wuji Continent, and they all use Advanced Magic and Combat Skills once they make a move. The ticket for this kind of contest is also the most expensive, with even just a seat in the stands costing several thousand gold coins.
At the four levels of Earth, Sky, Xuan, and Yellow, each has its own Fighting King, but the conditions for achieving victory and the Fighting King title vary.
According to the rules of the Sky Wings Arena, anyone who achieves thirty consecutive wins at the Sky Wings Level can claim the Fighting King title. To win the Fighting King title at the other levels, one needs fifty, one hundred, and one hundred victories respectively.
Additionally, the Sky Wings Arena has stipulated that after participating in the competition of a certain level, except for a breakthrough in cultivation, one cannot participate in competitions of other regions.
Qi, now a Holy Mage, naturally participates in the second type of contest, the Earth Wing Level competition.
"However, the competitions here are tough; I participated in two today, with one win and one loss. As for the prize money, it will be settled at the end of the month," said Qi, who won his first contest today but lost the second.
According to the accumulation system of the Sky Wings Arena, the prize money for the competitors is distributed once a month, but the specific cumulative prize money varies from person to person.
Like Qi, as a newcomer, for winning one Earth Wing Level contest, he gets five hundred gold coins.
But if he loses the second match, half of the five hundred gold coins he owns will be deducted.
"Ah, that’s way too tricky, how are we going to survive this month?" Gu Feng, whose wounds were already dressed by Yun Sheng, could not help but shout after hearing about the Sky Wings Arena’s prize money rules.
Not just Gu Feng, even Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling had never heard of such competition rules.
"That’s right, to put it another way, if I’ve already lost ten matches, but in the eleventh match, I come across an opponent who has won twenty consecutive matches and I defeat them, then the prize money I get will far exceed the two thousand gold coins mark because it’s very likely that they have obtained several thousand, or even tens of thousands of cumulative prize money from their previous opponents," Qi is rather indifferent to such competition rules.
The Sky Wings Arena, being referred to as the number one arena on the continent, is not without reason.
Such rules easily spark people’s competitive spirit.
At the end of the month, some people walk away with nothing, while others may have amassed a fortune of tens of thousands.
This is both an opportunity and a great challenge.
For someone like Qi who wins one and loses one, the prize money is much less.
Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng immediately started strategizing in her mind.
To survive a year in Sky Wing City, money is an important factor. They only have ten thousand gold coins on hand, which is enough for at most one or two months.
The plan to sell Magic Potions and Elixirs, which was originally well-thought-out, had to be abandoned because of the emergence of the Dark Medicine Pavilion.
At the moment, it seems the only way to provide them with a stable income is through fighting in the arena.
