Free Web NovelChapter 1217: Chapter 1203: Moonwheel Gladiatorial Arena
The name of this interstellar cruise is Gale.
It is said to belong to one of the top ten super-large commercial enterprises in the Imperial, the Moon Wheel Commerce Association.
This commerce association is quite famous, with its own luxurious headquarters in many Star Realms, and has many connections with various affairs within the Imperial.
This freighter is reportedly under the command of a significant figure within the Moon Wheel Commerce Association.
It is usually not used for passenger transport.
This time, due to special circumstances.
Of course, as for what exactly those special circumstances are, Alfred did not tell Baiyu, only saying it doesn’t affect them.
Baiyu arrived at the center of the freighter, followed closely by Nancy.
Originally thinking.
That there should be many entertainment facilities here.
However, when Baiyu and Nancy arrived, they discovered that there was actually a circular, enormous Gladiatorial Arena inside.
In the center of the first floor, all obstacles on the entire floor had been cleared, with no other structures, only a circular Gladiatorial Arena paved with sturdy black stone flooring.
And the middle of the second, third, and fourth floors are all hollowed out.
That means the upper areas of the Gladiatorial Arena are not covered by anything, and passengers can lean on the railings of the second, third, or even fourth floors, watching the scene on the first floor from above.
This is simply an excellent viewing spot.
It’s not hard to see.
This kind of structure has obviously been thoughtfully designed.
Turning this place into a Gladiatorial Arena convenient for viewing.
For a moment, Baiyu and Nancy’s eyes were filled with puzzled expressions.
"Hello, both of you."
At this time.
A middle-aged man in a pure black suit, with slicked-back hair and slight crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, walked over.
He was slim but his eyes were bright, with a professional smile on his face:
"Welcome to the Gale Arena, may I ask if both of you wish to enter to watch, or would you like to fight on the stage yourself?"
Baiyu and Nancy were momentarily stunned, completely not expecting that there would actually be gladiatorial combat here.
"This is our first time here and we are not aware of the situation; could you give a brief introduction?"
Baiyu asked the man.
"Oh, of course, I can, that is precisely my duty here." The man smiled, professionally introducing to Baiyu and Nancy: "The Gale Arena has always been a feature aboard the Gale. Every time the Gale sets sail, a gladiatorial combat is held.
This is also a pretty good way to relieve the travel valve.
The rules of the angle are also simple.
We operate on a betting basis, a straightforward affair of winning or losing, you can either be an observer below or go up and fight yourself.
As for the participants on stage.
If they belong to our Moon Wheel Commerce Association, we will have their detailed past performance records available for bettors to reference.
If it’s a temporary participant.
Though we may not know his information, we will inform everyone that this participant does not belong to our association, advising everyone to bet cautiously.
That’s pretty much it.
On each floor, the association has set up dedicated betting and sign-up points, with professional staff in charge.
You two.
Is there anything else you wish to know?"
The middle-aged man was clearly the manager here, extremely familiar with this set of rules and procedures.
He squinted smilingly at Baiyu and Nancy, patiently waiting for their response.
"Got it for the most part, thank you."
Baiyu smiled and said.
"You’re welcome, it’s all part of my job.
If you need anything, you can come find me on the first floor at any time, or contact other staff members.
My name is Gavin."
The man gave a respectful bow and then immediately went to greet other guests.
...
Baiyu and Nancy entered the Gladiatorial Arena.
However, they were not on the first floor but instead went to the second floor spectators’ stand, planning to take a look at the situation before making a decision.
There were many people inside, all passengers aboard the ship.
Moreover, Baiyu noticed many betting points, indicating that this business was doing well here, as everyone passed their idle time on the ship with this entertainment.
From Abaida to the Holy Central Continent, it requires passing through at least five Large Teleportation Arrays, along with countless smaller Teleportation Arrays.
Besides interstellar teleportation.
It takes at least three to five months navigating through the deep, dark starry sky.
This is under smooth conditions.
If a minor mishap occurs, extending the journey by another month or two is also quite normal.
In such a situation, without a way to release people’s inner pressure, there would certainly be trouble.
This method by the Moon Wheel Commerce Association.
Firstly to stabilize the situation on the ship, and secondly to make money.
Anyone able to board the ship is clearly not someone poor.
This primitive form of entertainment has always been popular and sought-after among people who revere might in the Human Galactic Imperial.
Baiyu and Nancy, after reaching the second floor, casually found a seat to sit down. Nancy eagerly watched the situation on the first floor of the Gladiatorial Arena.
It seemed they had arrived at just the right time.
A match was about to start in the Gladiatorial Arena, and it was a popular one, too.
Baiyu was observing the surrounding situation.
He looked to the third and fourth floors.
Noticing many independent rooms above, the people entering and exiting all dressed impressively.
Clearly.
There are VIP rooms on this ship. freewёbnoνel.com
However, from the looks of it, the prices should be somewhat steep.
...
Before long.
The noisy clamor from the first floor caught Baiyu’s attention.
The protagonists of the gladiatorial combat had taken the stage.
On the left side of the first floor, against the wall, a large door opened, and a robust man walked out.
He had broken chains on all four limbs, dragging on the ground with a clanging sound.
Whether it was his arms or feet, many wounds were on them.
Some had already scarred over, while some were still very fresh, appearing to have been sustained not long ago.
The man’s chest and back also had numerous Scars, like having been whipped by barbed whips countless times.
"The Monster Shi Ruming!"
"Didn’t expect this guy to appear on the first day of sailing, wondering who his opponent is, just the thought makes one excited!"
"Last time during the sail, Shi Ruming created a record of thirty consecutive victories and zero defeats.
He was then scouted by the Moon Wheel Commerce Association, recruited as a member.
However.
It’s heard that this guy’s method of cultivation is extremely perverse, involving self-harming training.
Look at those wounds on him, most were inflicted during his cultivation."
People nearby began whispering.
Baiyu and Nancy listened to the discussions around, learning about this scarred strong man’s situation.
To win thirty consecutive matches.
No matter in which Gladiatorial Arena, such a feat indicates an absolute powerhouse.
Everyone was very curious about who Shi Ruming’s opponent would be.
After all, at this time, with the journey just beginning.
To have such a heavyweight contender on stage right from the start implies his opponent is definitely no push-over either.
After everyone calmed down.
The big door on the right side of the first-floor Gladiatorial Arena slowly opened as well.
This time, the person who walked out still had shackles on their hands and feet, and they were intact ones, unlike Shi Ruming’s broken chains!
