"Without projecting any external power, and without struggling or resisting, it was as if it were flat ground. No wonder the Grand Elder said he wanted to give it special treatment..."
......
Xiao Fan was unaware of the discussion behind him. Holding Yue Yao's hand, he walked through the huge archway of the arena, where a massive open-air stadium that could hold thousands of people came into view.
The arena is laid out in a tiered pattern, with the lower the position closer to the center. This is to ensure that spectators in the back rows can see the battle in the arena at a glance.
Surrounding the stands were layers upon layers of spectators, who stared in amazement at the ten battles taking place in the center of the arena.
In the center of the arena stood ten enormous stone arenas, and at this moment, four of them were already occupied with combat.
Surrounding the already used arena is a faint energy shield, ensuring that the two fighters inside will not be disturbed by outsiders. Please join the battle.
Of course, one must never kill someone in this process. Moreover, once someone concedes defeat, the victorious side cannot launch another attack. This formation not only protects them from outside interference but also ensures the fairness of the competition.
Xiao Fan led Yue Yao to a less crowded spot and sat down, curiously watching the people fighting below.
Not far from the two, there was a stone platform with some things that looked like tickets on it. Many people were gathered there, watching the battle below and shouting excitedly.
Some people showed excitement, while others looked resentful, glaring at the central stands with a look of disappointment before turning away dejectedly.
"That's the grandstand for the gambling matches."
Yueyao followed Xiao Fan's gaze, then quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Some students enjoy watching intense battles, while others simply seek a way to vent their frustrations, which is why this gambling match exists."
Hearing Yueyao's words, Xiao Fan turned his head curiously, smiled at Yueyao, then reached out and pinched her nose, saying, "How do you know so much?"
Yueyao turned her head, slapped Xiao Fan away, and crossed her arms, saying, "Of course, I overheard these conversations among some disciples in the Panmen sect. Moreover, there was a student who lost all his fire energy because he was addicted to gambling, and was even scolded by Hu Jia."
"Oh?"
When Xiao Fan heard that some disciples in the Panmen Sect had actually lost all their fire energy in a gambling match, he was initially a little surprised, but then he came to his senses.
Come to think of it, isn't this contest just gambling?
Gambling is inherently harmful. Once someone with weak willpower gets involved, it's almost a sure sign that they're beyond saving.
Xiao Fan hadn't expected that even in this other world, in this Dou Qi Continent where strength reigns supreme, there would still be people who were obsessed with it.
"What then?"
Xiao Fan pressed Yue Yao for details, as he was curious about what happened to the student afterward.
"After Hu Jia found out and gave him a good scolding, he became much more restrained. After that, he became much more proactive in his cultivation."
Because Yueyao spends most of her time with Xun'er and Hu Jia when Xiao Fan is away, she is aware of how Hu Jia is being treated.
Hearing Yueyao's words, Xiao Fan nodded. It was fair that the disciple was quite resolute. Although he was initially red-eyed, he stopped in time after being reprimanded by Hu Jia and the others.
Otherwise, it's uncertain how long it will take for him to fully realize his mistake, or perhaps he will simply sink into despair, living in a daze and wasting his talent.
