Chapter 209: Lu Changsheng Flips His Palm and Slashes Hong Shan! Battlefield Stunned! A New King of the Fighting Arena Born!
Lu Changsheng stepped down from the arena.
Wang Cheng promptly delivered the Spirit Stones.
"Brother Lu, these are the Spirit Stones you wagered and earned."
Lu Changsheng accepted the Spirit Stones from Wang Cheng.
A total of 64,860 pieces.
This amount was actually rather impressive.
However, if Lu Changsheng hadn't displayed such overwhelming dominance, defeating his opponents effortlessly, his odds wouldn't have been so low.
Otherwise, his Spirit Stone earnings would have already surpassed a hundred thousand pieces.
Still, even sixty thousand pieces of Spirit Stones was an astronomical figure.
With so many Spirit Stones, Lu Changsheng could directly purchase six drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
Think about the Heavenly Sect in the Ancient Domain, seven Divine Power Realm patriarchs, who had roamed the Holy Land for years—how many drops of Heavenly Spirit Water did they manage to accumulate?
A mere eight drops of Heavenly Spirit Water.
Now, Lu Changsheng had just arrived in the Holy Land, secured ten victories in the battlefield, and even factoring in the one-drop-per-ten-thousand-Spirit-Stone exchange rate, Lu Changsheng had already netted over fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
His efficiency far surpassed that of the seven Divine Power Realm patriarchs of the Ancient Domain Heavenly Sect.
Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng didn't rush to spend all sixty thousand Spirit Stones on purchasing Heavenly Spirit Water.
He needed to stockpile Spirit Stones to make a one-time purchase of sufficient Heavenly Spirit Water.
Lu Changsheng was waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to "wager" and win a large amount of Spirit Stones.
And now, that opportunity had arrived.
Challenge the King of the Fighting Arena!
From what Lu Changsheng understood, every challenge to the King of the Fighting Arena involved wagers in the hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.
In particular, some legendary duels exceeded one million!
These were the true "main attractions" of the battlefield.
Once someone initiated a challenge against the King of the Fighting Arena, there was no option to refuse.
If refused, the King of the Fighting Arena title was automatically forfeited.
And the fighter could no longer participate in the battlefield.
After handing over the Spirit Stones to Lu Changsheng, Wang Cheng didn't leave immediately and instead stood to the side, seemingly waiting for something.
Lu Changsheng was fully aware of what Wang Cheng was waiting for.
He had already won ten consecutive matches.
According to the rules of the battlefield, Lu Changsheng now had the qualifications to challenge the King of the Fighting Arena.
The battlefield had recently been in a slump.
For more than a year, there hadn't been a top-tier Dao Foundation or Foundation Establishment Daoist Monarch achieving ten consecutive victories.
Lu Changsheng, however, was the sole arena fighter in over a year to achieve ten consecutive victories.
In fact, the arrangement for Lu Changsheng to face off against East Void Daoist Monarch demonstrated the battlefield's intentions.
No matter who won, they would achieve ten consecutive victories and thus earn the right to challenge the King of the Fighting Arena.
"Wang Cheng, who is the current King of the Fighting Arena?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly asked.
"Brother Lu, the current King of the Fighting Arena is Hong Shan!"
"This Hong Shan is truly remarkable. Here is some intelligence on Hong Shan that's publicly available, Brother Lu. You can take a look."
Wang Cheng seemed well-prepared and handed a dossier to Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng reviewed the information carefully.
It was all publicly known data about Hong Shan.
Hong Shan, a top-tier Dao Foundation martial artist.
Also a loose cultivator.
Hong Shan was a loose cultivator from the Holy Land, rising from obscurity step by step to the level of a top-tier Dao Foundation.
At first, his cultivation speed was slow—remarkably slow, even.
But as his cultivation progressed, his growth rate increased instead.
Eventually, Hong Shan comprehended Laws and mastered a total of nine Laws!
Unfortunately, when Hong Shan imprinted his Law Seeds, he chose to imprint a Space Law Seed—making it ten Law Seeds in total.
As a result, Space Law remained incomprehensible for him.
Thus, Hong Shan lost his opportunity to condense Divine Skills and advance to the Divine Power Realm.
Yet Hong Shan didn't give up.
Instead, he worked tirelessly to earn Spirit Stones, purchasing various rare items in an attempt to grasp Space Law.
Hong Shan entered the battlefield, achieving victory after victory in rapid succession, eventually defeating the King of the Fighting Arena and claiming the title for himself.
He then went on to accept five subsequent challenges.
Each time, he emerged victorious.
An absolutely formidable figure.
Some even believed there was no Dao Foundation or Foundation Establishment level fighter who could rival Hong Shan.
Lu Changsheng focused on understanding Hong Shan's Laws and Divine Skills.
With nine Laws, Hong Shan had developed a top-tier Composite Divine Technique that integrated all nine Laws.
Its power was earth-shattering.
In addition to that, he had created various Divine Skills based on combinations of five, six, seven, or eight Laws.
Packed with an arsenal of Divine Skills, he was virtually unbeatable, dominating all opposition.
In fact, some fighters who had achieved ten consecutive victories dared not challenge Hong Shan in the end.
"If I challenge Hong Shan, the odds for victory will likely be very high, right?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly asked.
Wang Cheng was slightly surprised.
Challenging Hong Shan, yet not pondering how to defeat him, and instead calculating betting odds?
This truly was valuing Spirit Stones over life.
Nevertheless, Wang Cheng nodded and replied, "Indeed, Hong Shan is extremely powerful. Though Brother Lu has performed impressively, at present, your odds of victory in a challenge against Hong Shan seem rather slim. Hence, your betting odds would undoubtedly be very high."
Lu Changsheng was thoughtful.
With odds like that, it was perfect!
With that realization, Lu Changsheng didn't hesitate further.
"Wang Cheng, make the arrangements—I want to challenge the King of the Fighting Arena, Hong Shan!"
Lu Changsheng declared.
"You're going to challenge Hong Shan?"
"Brother Lu, why not take some time to reconsider your decision?"
Wang Cheng could hardly believe how quickly this opportunity had presented itself.
He understood well that Lu Changsheng was essentially "his man."
In the battlefield, all of Lu Changsheng's matters were handled by Wang Cheng.
Once Lu Changsheng decided to challenge the King of the Fighting Arena, regardless of success or failure, Wang Cheng's status in the battlefield would undergo an unprecedented transformation.
