189: Chapter 189 Silver Dragon Duel Arena!
In the preview video for this cultivation method,
one could see a terrifying simulated battle scene.
A horrifying cosmic giant was fighting fiercely against dozens of enemies of the same realm. The battle scene was appalling; when the giant threw a punch, it was like lava, like a meteor, full of domineering power and incomparable heat.
The heatwaves from the wind of every punch thrown by the giant could easily destroy a star.
Overall, this cultivation method was incredibly overbearing!
As for Li Fan, he preferred this kind of head-on, domineering, and sharp fighting style.
However, the price was a bit too expensive.
As a Realm Master Level cultivation method, the price tag on it was four trillion cosmic coins!
Even if he were beaten to death, the current Li Fan could not produce such a price.
Fortunately, installments were available.
The "Frenzied Battle Prairie Art" was divided into nine layers in total.
The first three layers could support his cultivation up to the Universe Level.
And it only cost one hundred and thirty billion cosmic coins!
Compared to other Realm Master Level cultivation methods, which often cost five hundred billion cosmic coins even in installments, this was already a great bargain.
After refueling the Dark Star last time and the recent housing expenses, he still had over one hundred and forty billion cosmic coins on him.
If he bought this cultivation method, he would still have over ten billion cosmic coins left.
Gritting his teeth,
Li Fan didn't hesitate and immediately decided to buy the first three layers.
The purchasing method was very simple.
The purchase could be completed directly online.
However, the delivery required the exchange to send it over in person.
The exchange wasn't far from the apartment where Li Fan lived.
Ten minutes after the successful payment and order placement,
the exchange staff delivered the goods to his door.
What was delivered to Li Fan's hand was a golden jade slip engraved with an exclusive code.
According to the staff, he only needed to enter this string of code when entering the virtual network to permanently unlock the first three layers.
Although Li Fan didn't understand why they made it so complicated, he was still very satisfied with the delivery efficiency.
Afterward,
Li Fan opened the "Frenzied Battle Prairie Art."
"[Note]: 'Frenzied Battle Prairie Art' is a cultivation method created by King Jinju during the Realm King Stage. King Jinju rose to prominence in the Chiyan Star Sector of the Wushan Seat..."
At the beginning,
it displayed an introduction about the author of this cultivation method.
Li Fan was somewhat surprised; the author of this cultivation method was now actually a King-level Immortal!
But it made sense when he thought about it.
A person who could create such a terrifying and domineering cultivation method must have extraordinary potential; reaching Immortality was very reasonable.
Afterward,
Li Fan began to go into seclusion to comprehend this cultivation method.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Li Fan had already basically mastered the first layer.
He also finally knew why the installment for the first three layers of this cultivation method was cheaper than other Realm Master Level methods.
Because the theoretical aspect and the difficulty of comprehension for the first three layers weren't high; what was needed most was actual combat! Frenzied actual combat! Comprehension through fighting!
Just like the name of the cultivation method, it required frenzied battle!
And wanting actual combat was very simple.
Li Fan immediately opened the virtual network, chose the Starry Sky Arena, and began matchmaking.
Battles in the virtual network could simulate reality almost one hundred percent, so it could practically replace actual combat.
Moreover, here, the virtual network could match him with opponents of similar strength based on his own power.
Training here was clearly the best choice for Li Fan.
However, while Li Fan was waiting for an opponent to be matched,
his gaze was attracted by a local slogan in the corner.
"Silver Dragon Duel Arena: This weekend will witness the duel between 'Mountain Ghost' and 'Golden Cloud'. Exciting moments not to be missed!"
Regarding the duel arena,
Li Fan had also heard about it from Jia Yan.
It was a very popular entertainment venue in Silver Dragon Central City.
The operational model mainly involved some financial groups and factions signing up specific Contestants with terrifying realms to duel on their behalf.
During the duel, bets would be opened on the outcome. Except for the Contestants themselves, anyone could place a bet.
To put it simply, it could be understood as a massive casino with dueling as the gimmick!
Of course,
besides the financial groups, others could also fight as freelancers. Each appearance would earn a certain appearance fee, and they could also get a one-ten-thousandth share of the betting pool.
However, most people would still choose to sign with a financial group before going.
Because if a freelancer went, they wouldn't have any popularity, and the organizers wouldn't arrange popular opponents for them.
This would result in very few people betting on the match.
So after a battle, they would only earn the appearance fee—hard-earned money.
But if one insisted on going as a freelancer, it wasn't impossible; they just had to endure and rely on sufficiently stunning strength to slowly accumulate popularity through match after match.
Once popularity grew, the appearance fee would increase, and the funds in the betting pool would also grow.
But in the end, they still couldn't escape the financial groups.
Because once they became famous, they would be scouted by those powers.
Faced with the temptations offered, most freelancers would choose to sign.
Such things had long been common occurrences.
"I could actually try going to the Silver Dragon Duel Arena for a bit!"
"While I can fight, I can also earn some extra cash!"
Li Fan rested his chin on his hand in thought and silently made a decision.
He only had over ten billion cosmic coins left on him.
Although it could last for a while, he couldn't just sit around and let his resources deplete.
If he could earn some extra cash, it would be a pretty good place to go.
Subsequently, Li Fan immediately exited the Starry Sky Arena and clicked on the Silver Dragon Duel Arena interface.
As soon as he clicked,
the scene before Li Fan's eyes transformed into an interview area of the Silver Dragon Duel Arena.
In front of him was a refined Middle-aged Man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
"Hello, sir, welcome to the Silver Dragon Duel Arena. I am a service staff member of the arena, number 925. May I help you?" the Middle-aged Man said in a respectful tone.
Li Fan got straight to the point, "I want to sign up for the duel arena."
"Certainly, I will arrange it for you. Please provide some simple information."
...
Not long after,
Li Fan successfully signed up without a hitch.
Moreover, Li Fan gave himself a code name: "Frenzied Warrior!"
That's right.
The duel arena did not recommend Contestants use their real names; they generally used code names.
The main reason was the concern that some fanatical gamblers might become enraged after losing and secretly strike at the Contestants outside the arena.
Such tragedies had happened many times in the past.
Through the virtual network, Li Fan noticed that many Contestants in the duel arena were currently idle.
So he immediately prepared to go to the Star-Treading Level Arena to test the waters.
However, just as Li Fan was about to choose to enter the arena, he received a message from Jia Yan.
"Brother Fan, I haven't finished handling things here yet. I might have to wait a while longer before I can come back."
Seeing this message, Li Fan immediately replied.
Some time ago, after Jia Yan had taken Li Fan to familiarize himself with Silver Dragon Central City, he said he was going to see an old acquaintance to handle some business.
A long time had passed, and he still hadn't returned.
Looking at this message, it seemed Jia Yan wouldn't be back for a while.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Li Fan currently had a relatively good understanding of the situation in the Central City and didn't really need Jia Yan for the time being.
Subsequently,
Li Fan's gaze returned to the duel arena.
