Arena

As expected, news of Lin Feng challenging Black Demon spread throughout Tianyi Academy.

Not only did the students from the Astral Series hear about it, but also those from the Noble Series and the Assassin Series. The top ten disciples of Tianyi Academy always had countless eyes watching them.

Furthermore, people began to pay attention to Lin Feng, probing into his background. However, those who investigated Lin Feng's background found that he seemed to have appeared out of thin air, suddenly appearing in Tianyi Academy. Moreover, it seemed like he was favored by the Vice Dean. As soon as he entered Tianyi, he stirred up quite a storm.

But what puzzled everyone was that when they looked into Lin Feng's past, everything became confusing. Lin Feng seemed to have many identities, but each identity seemed somewhat inconsistent, as if someone had deliberately tampered with them, cutting off clues and setting up many false leads to mislead them.

If it was indeed the latter, if someone deliberately did this, then those people were too terrifying. They could actually erase all traces of a person's identity.

However, Lin Feng was completely unaware of these things.

At this moment, he, along with Yuan Shan and others, followed Ask Ao Xue to a place one hundred miles away from Tianyi Academy.

A towering wall blocked their view, and what appeared in front of Lin Feng was a mysterious small city. Yes, nestled in the imperial city, this city within a city was bustling with people, bustling with activity.

The towering walls stretched endlessly to both sides, and the edge could not be seen at all.

"Let's go in."

Ask Ao Xue said to Lin Feng and the others, stepping forward towards the gate of the small city.

"Here!"

When Ask Ao Xue arrived at the not-so-spacious gate, she handed a middle-grade elemental stone to the guard next to her. And Lin Feng found that not only Ask Ao Xue but also others who entered the gate would conscientiously pay the elemental stones.

Soon, they entered the gate, and what appeared in front of Lin Feng and the others was a vast sea of people and a vast area, all bustling with activity.

"What is this?"

Lin Feng's pupils contracted. It was so lively, full of people, countless pavilions and buildings, just like the ancient market in Lin Feng's impression, but much more vast than the market in his impression.

"This is the most prosperous and lively place in the imperial city, without exception. You can come here to do anything, whether it's striving upward or indulging in decadence."

Ask Ao Xue explained to Lin Feng. Liu Fei beside him blinked and murmured, "I've only heard of this place before, but I've never been here. This place is even more lively than I imagined. No wonder the strength of that family is so abnormal. I didn't believe it before, but now, I do."

Lin Feng was at a loss, but he saw Ask Ao Xue smiling without saying a word.

"Lin Feng, here, there is a decadent area where you can linger in the flowers and enjoy the taste of being surrounded by beautiful women."

Ask Ao Xue said with a smile that was not a smile, making Lin Feng stunned, while Liu Fei beside him glared at him fiercely, making Lin Feng smile nervously. He was thinking, is it really as good as Ask Ao Xue said?

"Here, there is also an area for trading. In the trading area, you can make any trade as long as you have enough elemental stones. You can exchange weapons, exchange demonic beasts, or even exchange people, such as pure and innocent young girls, enchanting beauties with charm skills, and slaves who are martial cultivators. In addition, in the auction house, there are often very precious treasures for auction, such as high-level techniques and martial arts!"

Ask Ao Xue recounted, making Lin Feng's heart move. Weapons, beauties, demonic beasts, martial cultivator slaves, and martial arts and techniques, these are too attractive to people. It can be said that no one is not attracted by these things. No wonder there are so many people here.

As long as you have enough elemental stones, you have endless resources.

"I have to come to the trading area often when I have time." Lin Feng thought to himself. The things Ask Ao Xue mentioned are very attractive to him.

For example, martial cultivator slaves!

"Of course, real martial artists will not go to the first place I mentioned, that decadent place. Only some illegitimate children who have voluntarily fallen into decadence in some big families often linger there. Martial cultivators go to the other two places more often, one is the trading area I mentioned, and the other is an area that people from our Astral Series often go to."

Ask Ao Xue stopped here, as if deliberately trying to pique Lin Feng's curiosity.

"What area?" Sure enough, Lin Feng asked curiously. The trading area is already very attractive to him, and I believe it is the same for others, but Ask Ao Xue said that there is another area where people from the Astral Series often go.

"That place, in the eyes of many people, is a purgatory, but for many of us from the Astral Series, that place is a real training ground, a battlefield, a place to cultivate courage and blood."

"You mean, the Arena!"

Liu Fei looked at Ask Ao Xue and said.

"Yes, that third area is indeed the Arena. Even people from the Astral Series dare not enter it easily. There, it is a place to cultivate courage for real." Ask Ao Xue nodded, saying to Lin Feng, "You want to strengthen yourself, right? The Arena is perfect for you."

"The Arena!" Lin Feng whispered, asking, "What is that place?"

"The Arena, the place of combat. If you go there, you will naturally understand what that place is."

Ask Ao Xue said with a smile, then took the lead and walked towards a certain direction. Lin Feng followed behind her, also curious about what the Arena, a place to cultivate courage and blood, was like!

This city within a city is indeed vast. With the pace of Lin Feng and the others, they walked for half an hour and still did not reach the Arena.

However, at this moment, Lin Feng heard continuous crazy voices coming into his ears. He saw countless backs in front of him, and he couldn't even see what was inside, completely blocked by the backs.

After a while, Lin Feng and the others walked to the front, and the shouts became louder and louder. He found that this place was a circular ring, very spacious, and within this circular ring, there were many gaps with some stairs, which could be used to walk inside.

"Lin Feng, this is the Arena. Look at the dense crowd. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people, and it's like this every day." Ask Ao Xue pointed to the endless sea of people in front of them and said to Lin Feng.

"Hundreds of thousands of people!" Lin Feng took a deep breath, such a terrifying number, and it's like this every day. How huge is the flow of people here, almost unimaginable.

Walking to a gap in the crowd, and descending along the stairs, Lin Feng vaguely saw the scene in the distance.

At the bottom of the stairs was a vast area. From Lin Feng's current

 perspective, that area was like a canyon sunken in the ground, and where the crowd was, was the grandstand.

On the flat ground of the canyon, there was a huge iron cage that seemed to be flashing with figures inside.

"The Arena!"

Lin Feng vaguely understood the meaning of the three words of the Arena. Here, it was somewhat similar to the ancient Roman arena in his previous life, where nobles sat in the grandstand, overlooking the slaves and beasts fighting in the arena.

However, the Arena presented in front of Lin Feng at this moment was more visually shocking and more able to shake the soul.

"In the Arena, within that huge iron cage, there is a crazy battle every day between humans and demonic beasts, between humans and humans. They are imprisoned in the iron cage, and the battle can only end with the death of one side. The victor can walk out of the cage."

When Lin Feng heard Ask Ao Xue's words, his eyes were stunned. What a terrifying place, no wonder Ask Ao Xue would say that in the eyes of many people, this place is purgatory.

Being imprisoned in an iron cage to fight, the battle can only end with the death of one side, which means that every battle in the Arena will end with someone's death, either a person or a demonic beast.

"In our Tianyi Academy's Astral Series, every year, there are people who die here. Of course, there are also people who step on corpses and continue to rise. Only those who truly have courage dare to enter there. They are the real warriors. Here, it's as cruel as the battlefield."
