150: Actor's Competition

Outside the Game Arena.

The Blood Martial Realm martial artists from various factions looked at the entrance of the Game Arena with anticipation.

A month had passed.

They all hoped that their faction's participants would win in the Game Arena, thereby granting their faction the right to purchase Blood Beasts!

This would determine how many Blood Martial Realm martial artists with True Blood their respective factions could produce in the coming period!

Given the scarcity of Blood Beasts in Tian Dou Province today,

most Blood Martial Realm martial artists could only enter the Blood Martial Realm by drawing Blood Source from others.

This resulted in their Blood Source being merely Mortal Blood.

And with each passing generation,

their Blood Source would only grow weaker.

Only the primary Blood Source extracted from Blood Beasts could form True Blood.

While both were Blood Martial Realm martial artists,

there was an indescribably vast difference between True Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists and Mortal Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists!

True Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists could often easily crush Mortal Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists; the two were simply not on the same level!

This also led to immense differences among Blood Martial Realm martial artists, even at the same cultivation level.

In Tian Dou Province, the Blood Martial Realm, though not the strongest realm, was the backbone of various factions.

It not only determined the strength of these factions but also their potential.

According to rumors,

to reach a martial arts realm above the Blood Martial Realm,

one must possess True Blood!

In other words,

Mortal Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists would remain in the Blood Martial Realm their entire lives, unable to reach higher realms.

Only True Blood… could open up a broader world.

It was precisely because of this that

all factions attached immense importance to True Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artists.

Even if the birth of a True Blood Blood Martial Realm martial artist was not enough to immediately elevate the status of an entire faction, once an existence above the Blood Martial Realm appeared… the entire power structure of Tian Dou Province would be rewritten!

Thus, the right to purchase Blood Beasts became even more crucial.

As their deadline approached,

outside the temple.

On the giant stone formation, streaks of teleportation light instantly descended.

As the light shone,

all surviving participants in the Game Arena were teleported out.

Of course,

participants from the Demonic Path forces and Orthodox Faction were teleported to different locations upon their exit.

Those who appeared on the Orthodox Faction's side were all participants from various Orthodox Faction forces.

However, when the four Blood Martial Realm martial artists leading the Orthodox Faction saw the teleported individuals, they were all stunned.

Upon entering the Game Arena,

each of their factions had over thirty participants.

Lei Miao Temple even had more than forty participants.

But now, only a dozen or so participants were teleported out.

Those who weren't teleported out, it was obvious, must have perished within the Game Arena.

Even though they had known from the start that

there would be casualties within the Game Arena.

Every previous Blood Sect Game had seen a portion of Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists die inside.

But even so,

the death rate had never exceeded half.

Yet this time… only a dozen or so remained alive!!

This greatly shook their hearts.

And it wasn't just the Blood Martial Realm martial artists of these four Orthodox Faction forces who were shocked.

Even the blood-robed figure, shrouded in mist, representing the Blood Sect, had a momentary flicker in its mist-covered face upon seeing this scene.

As a senior member of the Blood Sect,

she had organized numerous Blood Sect Games.

But even she… had never seen a Blood Sect Game where so many people died!!

Especially since the theme of this Game wasn't slaughter, but the rearing of Blood Beasts.

Although slaughter would be involved,

it shouldn't have been so tragic… “What exactly happened inside?!!”

The four Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the Orthodox Faction all had extremely grim expressions.

Especially the Blood Martial Realm martial artist from Sky Trace Pavilion… among these dozen or so people, he only saw one Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artist from his own faction, which made his mind buzz and his vision go dark.

The Blood Martial Realm martial artists of Extreme Fire Sect and Lei Miao Temple also trembled.

Although their faction’s Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists weren't as badly off as Sky Trace Pavilion's… only three or four remained.

Among these dozen or so people,

Rapid Shadow Palace had the most survivors.

A total of five people lived.

But even so, the Blood Martial Realm martial artist of Rapid Shadow Palace showed no joy.

The sheer number of Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists who died this time was simply too high!

For these factions,

Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists were equally important to them.

Usually, these factions would protect their Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists, not allowing them to easily take risks.

After all, one more step for a Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artist was the Blood Martial Realm!

Unless it was a major event like the Blood Sect Game,

would Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists be allowed to participate.

Under normal circumstances, they would impose some travel restrictions and other measures on Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists.

To protect these Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists to the greatest extent possible.

And try to ensure that they could break through to the Blood Martial Realm!

This time, so many Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists were lost at once.

This was a heavy blow to their four factions!

Especially since many promising prodigies, whom they had high hopes for, and some descendants of high-ranking officials, had also died.

One could imagine… the shock this news would cause when it reached their respective factions.

At the same time,

they also successively saw that

besides these dozen or so teleported Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists, there were also two massive Blood Beasts.

The most striking among them was a blood-colored long-tailed fox, with a body length of six meters.

It exuded a sharp aura.

There was also a blood-colored giant tiger.

The entire giant tiger was also quite extraordinary.

However, compared to the long-tailed fox, it seemed inferior in all aspects.

This was the effect Xiao Shi achieved after disguising Crimson Tiger.

Crimson Tiger had to restrain its domineering aura.

Only then could Cheng Tianhao's Blood Beast become the most prominent focus.

The moment everyone saw these two Blood Beasts,

their hearts were filled with shock.

They knew that

being able to bring Blood Beasts out of the Game Arena meant that someone had raised the Blood Beasts to maturity!

And judging by the positioning of these two Blood Beasts,

the people who raised them to maturity seemed to be… two Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists from Rapid Shadow Palace!

This once again shook everyone's minds.

The Blood Martial Realm martial artist of Rapid Shadow Palace's eyes lit up.

His mood improved considerably.

Although many Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists were lost this time, if they could obtain the right to purchase Blood Beasts, the outcome would still be acceptable.

And the moment it saw these two mature Blood Beasts,

the blood-robed figure, shrouded in mist, representing the Blood Sect, immediately widened its eyes under the mist.

It almost couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

She knew better than anyone… how difficult it was to raise Blood Beasts to maturity in the Game Arena!

Although she had told everyone before the Game began that as long as they raised the Blood Beasts to maturity, they could take them out of the Game Arena.

But this was actually just a gimmick of the Blood Sect Game… in most cases, it was impossible to achieve this.

Yet now… two mature Blood Beasts had appeared at once!!

The shock this brought her far exceeded the shock of so many people dying.

“How… how did they do it!?”

Now she really wanted to know what exactly happened in the Game Arena this time!

It was a pity that even people from their Blood Sect could not view the scenes within the Game Arena.

Just as everyone was in shock,

a voice of grief and indignation suddenly came from among the dozen or so participants.

“Damn Demonic Path forces!!”

“They have no martial ethics! They didn't care about raising Blood Beasts in the Game Arena; they just wanted to kill us!!”

“From the moment they entered the Game Arena, they weren't there to raise Blood Beasts, but to kill us!!”

Everyone's gaze collectively fixed on the speaker.

This person was… Liang Su!

At this moment, Liang Su's face was filled with grief and indignation, immensely furious.

He immediately explained to everyone the reason why so many of them had died this time.

The Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the four factions were all stunned upon hearing this.

Their expressions simultaneously darkened.

They had no doubts about Liang Su's words.

Because this was indeed the modus operandi of the Demonic Path forces… they could certainly do such a thing.

And given their irreconcilable hostile relationship with the Demonic Path forces, it was impossible to question them.

This was also what Liang Su had thought of… the best explanation for why so many people had died.

Pushing all the blame onto the Demonic Path forces.

At the same time, with gratitude, he immediately bowed to Cheng Tianhao.

“Thank you, Brother Cheng, for leading us in the Game Arena to fight against those scumbags from the Demonic Path forces. If it weren't for Brother Cheng, I wouldn't have made it out alive!”

“Brother Cheng’s great kindness, I, Liang Su, will surely engrave it in my heart. If Brother Cheng ever needs my help in the future, just say the word. As long as it is something I, Liang Su, can do, I will go through fire and water, even if it means dying ten thousand times!”

Liang Su's emotional actions

moved the Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the four Orthodox Faction forces.

They all looked at Cheng Tianhao.

Cheng Tianhao's expression was normal.

But the corner of his eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

Although this was a pre-arranged excuse, when Liang Su actually spoke these words, his expression, actions, and sincere words made Cheng Tianhao inwardly sigh with emotion.

“What a damn drama queen!”

Meng Que and others also didn't expect Liang Su's acting to be so good… Cheng Tianhao subtly glanced at Xiao Shi out of the corner of his eye, and after sensing Xiao Shi's admiration for Liang Su, his inner sense of crisis escalated again.

“Brother Cheng, there’s no need to say more. Although you and I come from different sects, we are all people of the Orthodox Path. How can we let those Demonic Path forces ride roughshod over us?”

“It’s just a pity that although I saved Brother Cheng, I was powerless to save those fellow Daoists who died…”

Cheng Tianhao's face showed regret.

He seemed to want to compete with Liang Su in acting skills.

Liang Su was not to be outdone.

According to the script that had been designed in advance,

a contest between actors unfolded.

According to the script they set,

the Game began with a confrontation and slaughter between their Orthodox Path people and Demonic Path people.

Cheng Tianhao played a crucial role in this slaughter.

At the same time, because those from the Demonic Path forces were not focused on raising Blood Beasts, Cheng Tianhao successfully collected many resources.

He not only successfully raised his own Blood Beast to maturity but also helped his bodyguard, enabling his bodyguard to also successfully raise his Blood Beast to maturity.

All the glory was concentrated on Cheng Tianhao.

As for the other surviving individuals… they had also encountered people from the Demonic Path forces, although they hadn't experienced the good-evil confrontation Liang Su described.

But they had no doubts about this either.

After all, this Game Arena was very vast.

Even though it had experienced shrinking, it was still quite large.

The places they had visited were only a very small area of this Game Arena.

They had not seen the larger areas.

Naturally, they could not refute the loopholes in this script.

Just like this,

under the performance of Cheng Tianhao and Liang Su,

the Blood Martial Realm martial artists of the four Orthodox Faction forces also gained a general understanding of what happened in the Game Arena.

Of course,

what they understood was only the script designed by Liang Su.

Although there were some parts that made them feel strange,

they didn't doubt it.

On one hand, Cheng Tianhao and Liang Su were not from the same faction; in the Game Arena, they were considered competitors. If they hadn't gone through life and death together, such a scene would certainly not have occurred.

On the other hand, the other participants also had no doubts and chose to believe, so they naturally wouldn't doubt either.

For a time, their hatred for the Demonic Path forces grew even stronger.

Although they were also unwilling about Rapid Shadow Palace obtaining the right to purchase Blood Beasts this time, they felt some gratitude towards Cheng Tianhao.

After all, according to Liang Su's script,

if Cheng Tianhao hadn't led the extermination of those from the Demonic Path forces,

all the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection martial artists of all their Orthodox Faction forces might have perished inside.

Cheng Tianhao was considered a benefactor to their three factions.

For a time,

everyone's attention was focused on Cheng Tianhao.

Even the Blood Martial Realm martial artist of Rapid Shadow Palace was somewhat dazed.

Although he knew Cheng Tianhao was excellent… he never expected Cheng Tianhao to have such a heaven-defying performance in this Blood Sect Game!

His heart was very complex.

He had both surprise at Cheng Tianhao's rise and joy at obtaining the right to purchase Blood Beasts, as well as sorrow for the heavy casualties this time.

And on the other side,

compared to the participants of the Orthodox Faction, the participants of the Demonic Path forces were even more miserable.

Only one person was teleported out of the Game Arena from their side!!

This person, from the moment he entered the Game Arena, had hidden himself using his concealment technique.

He hadn't even bothered to raise Blood Beasts.

Purely slacking off… and because of this,

he wasn't found by Xiao Shi and successfully survived.

When the four Demonic Path forces saw that only one person was teleported out, they were all dumbfounded.
