Chapter 42: First battle, Forest Ape
“I want to go on stage.”
Standing in front of the thin manager, Fang Yuan’s hand flashed with a silver light.
The silver-quality pet’s light suddenly lit up. It was the best way to show its strength.
Sure enough, when the manager saw the silver light, his att.i.tude immediately became official. His shriveled face squeezed out a smile.
“Okay, may I know your name? Of course, if you don’t want to be in the limelight, you can give yourself a nickname.”
Having a silver-quality pet beast, although it was still not enough to meet the threshold of a big shot, it was not something that a manager like him could offend. The steward’s waist had unconsciously bent a little.
Fang Yuan recalled and remembered there was indeed such a thing. All the contestants who entered the underground colosseum, in order to avoid publicity or to attract the revenge of their enemies, would usually give themselves a nickname as the code name for this place.
Fang Yuan frowned and thought about it. He remembered a famous author he liked very much in his previous life, so he used that domineering pen name.
“Call me Sweep the Horizon!”
“That’s a good name! It’s very impressive, Sweep the Horizon!. Sir, please wait a moment, I’ll arrange for you to go on stage immediately. It won’t take more than half an hour at most. What do you think?”
Fang Yuan nodded and turned to sit on a chair at the side. He raised his head and looked at the underground colosseum.
Needless to say, it was quite big. It occupied at least 2,000 square meters.
In the middle was a huge arena. The edges of the arena were equipped with various protective measures. The battle between pet beasts had caused quite a stir. The audience was almost all ordinary people who liked exciting shows.
They did not lack money. When it came to strength, they could only laugh.
At this moment, a pair of low-grade bronze pet beasts were fighting fiercely on the stage.
They were naturally in full swing, going all out.
However, in Fang Yuan’s eyes, who had gone through countless battles, he just wanted to sleep.
It was too boring. The skills that the bronze pet beasts could use were only a few, and it was just a few moves back and forth.
Fang Yuan was someone who had seen the scene before. Now, watching a battle at this level, he felt like he was watching a child playing game. It was boring.
“Sir, you can go on stage now. Your opponent is called the one-eyed monkey. The pet beast you have is the forest ape. It’s a low-grade silver pet.”
The manager came over at an unknown time. Fang Yuan looked at the stage. The two bronze-grade pet beasts were pecking each other. However, their battle was not over yet. He looked at the manager in confusion.
“Silver-grade pet beasts do not fight here. This place can not withstand the destruction of people of your level, sir. There is a battlefield specially prepared for silver-grade pet beasts. Please follow me.”
Fang Yuan followed the manager down the elevator to the bottom fifteen floors. He took a glance and found that the lowest floor was the bottom fifteen floors. It seemed to be the highest level of the colosseum.
Walking out of the elevator, Fang Yuan had to restrain his contempt. The private rooms were like metal cans hanging on the roof of this floor, which was nearly fifteen meters high.
There were not many private rooms. Those who could enter this place were obviously rich or n.o.ble.
Fang Yuan was sizing up the arena. As Fang Yuan’s opponent, one-eyed monkey was sizing him up.
At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked onto the stage. First, he saluted the high and mighty private rooms. Then, he looked at Fang Yuan and the one-eyed monkey and saluted.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Silverman Colosseum. Next, I will introduce the contestants from both sides.”
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Fang Yuan, pointing in his direction.
“The powerful contestant who has a silver-quality pet, Sweep the Horizon, according to the information of our Silverman Colosseum, the pet that sweep the horizon has is at least silver-quality!”
After the introduction, the imposing manner was so majestic that it was almost like a battle declaration by the middle-aged host. Fang Yuan could not help but sigh. No wonder he could be sent to this place.
A buzzing sound came from the colosseum. Fang Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and realized that there was a huge loudspeaker at the bottom of each box. It was completely embedded in the bottom of the box. One would not be able to see it if one did not look carefully.
This loudspeaker was clearly used for the conversation of the people in the box. Fang Yuan could vaguely understand a few sentences. The words “bet”, “lose”, and “win” were frequently used.
Obviously, this place was not as simple as for beast battle only. The playstyle that came along with it was the highlight of the beast battle arena. With the existence of the bet, the pa.s.sionate battle, together with the high stakes, it was definitely the most attractive combination.
Under the mask, Fang Yuan could not help but smile, but no one could see his evil smile.
“The owner of the high-grade silver pet beast Forest Ape, the one-eyed monkey contestant, has an 80% chance of winning in the Silverman Battle Beast Arena. He has partic.i.p.ated in a total of 70 battles. This means that the one-eyed monkey contestant has already won 56 battles!”
“It is worth noting that every single enemy of the one-eyed monkey has not been able to enjoy the joy of battle. This is all because of the one-eyed monkey’s combat style, which is overwhelming!”
As if it was cooperating with the middle-aged host, the one-eyed monkey released his pet beast at the right time. A silver light flashed and disappeared. It was as if there was an additional wall in the colosseum!
Fang Yuan raised his head and looked up at the forest ape. Its height was not inferior to that of the t.i.tan Bear.
The only difference was that the t.i.tan Bear was not only terrifyingly tall, but also had a tendency to develop horizontally. In comparison, the forest ape seemed a little “thin and weak.”.
Fang Yuan beckoned to the steward who had brought him here. When the manager ran over, he asked in a low voice, “Um, can I place a bet?”
The manager revealed a knowing smile, “Yes, but Lord Sweep the Horizon, according to the rules of the venue, in order to prevent the contestants from deliberately going easy on you, you can only bet on your own victory, and the bet is only 1:1.2. Are you confirmed to place a bet?”
