Chapter 138：Prison Fighting Field

Just as everyone expected, the news that Lin Feng challenged the Black Demon spread throughout Tianyi Academy. 

Not only the people in the starry galaxy received the news, but also those from the noble and assassin lineages were informed. The top ten disciples of Tianyi Academy were always under the scrutiny of countless eyes. 

Furthermore, some people also began to pay attention to Lin Feng and inquire about his background. However, those who investigated Lin Feng's background discovered that Lin Feng seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. He suddenly showed up at Tianyi College and seemed to have been favored by the vice president. As soon as he entered Tianyi College, quite a stir was caused. 

However, what surprised everyone was that when they looked into Lin Feng's past, they found that everything became confusing and obscure. Lin Feng seemed to have many identities, but each identity seemed to be inconsistent with the others. It was as if someone had deliberately tampered with the clues, cutting them off and setting up many false clues to lead them in the wrong direction. 

If it is the latter case, that is, if someone deliberately did it, then those people are too terrifying. They could even erase all traces of a person's identity. 

However, Lin Feng was completely unaware of all these. 

At this moment, he, along with Yuan Shan and others, was accompanying Jian Aoxue to a place a hundred miles away from Tianyi College. 

The towering wall blocked the view completely. What lay before Lin Feng was a mysterious little city. Yes, it was the inner city within the imperial city. People were coming and going, and it was vast and boundless. 

The towering wall keeps extending to both sides, and there is no end in sight. 

"Let's go in." 

Xiao Aoxue said to Lin Feng and others and then stepped forward, walking towards the gate of the small town ahead. 

"Here you are!" 

When Qiao Xue arrived at that not very spacious gate, she handed a piece of Yuan Stone to the guard beside her. To her surprise, it was a medium-grade Yuan Stone. 

Moreover, Lin Feng discovered that not only would Ao Xue refuse to pay the yuan stones, but also other people who entered the gate would voluntarily pay them. 

Soon, several people stepped into the main entrance. What came into sight of Lin Feng and others was a vast sea of people and an expanse of territory, all of which were bustling crowds. 

"Is this...?" 

Lin Feng's pupils contracted for a moment. It was too crowded. There were countless people everywhere. There were pavilions, terraces and buildings. It was like the ancient market in Lin Feng's imagination. However, compared to the market in his mind, the scene before him was obviously much more vast. 

"This is the most bustling and lively area of the Imperial City, without any exception. You can come here for any purpose you like. Whether you are striving forward or going downhill, you can do so here." 

Zhang Aoxue gave a nod of explanation to Lin Feng. Next to him, Liu Fei's eyes flickered and he murmured, "I've only heard of this place before but never been here. This place is even more bustling than I imagined. No wonder that family's strength is so extraordinary. I didn't believe it before, but now, I do." 

Lin Feng was completely bewildered, but saw Yun Aoxue smiling but remaining silent. 

"Lin Feng, here, there is a decadent area. You can linger among the flower beds and enjoy the intoxicating pleasure of being surrounded by beautiful women." Zhan Aoxue said with a half-smile, half-frown expression, leaving Lin Feng stunned for a moment. Meanwhile, beside him, Liu Fei gave him a fierce glare, causing Lin Feng to tremble with a smile on his face. But in his heart, he was thinking, is what Zhan Aoxue said really that good? 

Here, there is also an area for trading. In the trading area, you can conduct any kind of transaction as long as you have sufficient Yuan Shi stones to exchange for weapons, summon monsters, or even for human beings. For instance, you can exchange for a virgin maiden who is pure and innocent, a bewitching beauty with the ability of charm, or a slave who is a martial cultivator. Moreover, in the auction hall, there are often very precious treasures for auction, such as advanced-level cultivation techniques and martial arts skills! 

Zhaohuaixue spoke to Lin Feng one by one, making Lin Feng's heart flutter. Weapons, beauties, demonic beasts, martial arts slaves, martial skills and techniques, all these things have such great appeal 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 one has sufficient Yuan Shi, it is equivalent to having inexhaustible resources. 

"Trading Area. You must come and visit here often when you have time. " Lin Feng thought to himself. What Ao Xue had mentioned were many things. They were very attractive to him. 

For instance, "Wu Xiujiaoliang!!" (This is a fictional character name, not a real 

"Of course, a true martial artist would never go to the kind of place I'm talking about - that kind of degenerate place. Only the bastard sons of the big families who are willing to indulge in degeneracy would frequently linger there for martial cultivation. The other two areas are the other two major regions. One is the trading area I mentioned earlier, and the other is the area that we call the 'Star System Area'. It's the area where the people of the galaxy visit most frequently." 

Xiao Aoxue stopped speaking at this point, as if deliberately trying to whet Lin Feng's appetite. 

"Which area?" Indeed, Lin Feng asked curiously. This trading area has already been very attractive to him, and he believes it is the same for others. But when he asked Ao Xue, she said there was another area which was the most frequented place by the people of the Celestial Star System. 

"There, in the eyes of many, it is purgatory. But for us, many of those who inhabit this galaxy, it is a place of true training, a battlefield, a place where courage and passion are cultivated." 

"Are you saying that it's a cage fight arena?" 

Liu Fei looked at Ao Xue and said. 

"Exactly, this third area is precisely the arena for combat. Even those who are considered the best among the stars are not daring to step into it. There, it is the place where true courage is cultivated." Xuan Aoxue nodded and said to Lin Feng, "You are not aiming to become stronger yourself, right? The arena for combat is just suitable for you." 

"Jail Yard!" Lin Feng murmured and asked, "What kind of place is that?" 

"Prison arena, place of combat among prisoners. Once you go there, you will naturally understand what it is like." 

Xiao Aoxue smiled and said, "Then I'll go first." She immediately lifted her foot and headed in a certain direction. Lin Feng followed behind her. He was also curious about this training ground for courage and passion. How is it like? 

This inner city within the city is indeed vast. At the pace of Lin Feng and others, they still haven't reached the Prison Arena after half an hour of travel. 

However, at this moment, Lin Feng heard a continuous stream of crazy voices reaching his ears. Looking ahead, countless figures were facing him. Lin Feng couldn't even see what was inside them; they were completely blocking his view. 

After a while, Lin Feng and others came closer. The shouting grew louder and louder. He noticed that this place was a large circular ring, with an extremely wide area. Within this circular ring, there were many gaps, and there were some steps there. One could walk inside by climbing these steps. 

"Lin Feng, this is the Prison Arena. Look at the dense crowd here. There are at least several hundred thousand people, and it's like this every day." Xuan Aoxue pointed at the endless sea of people ahead and said to Lin Feng. 

"More than a hundred thousand people!" 

Lin Feng gasped in horror. What terrifying figures! And it's like this every day. The number of people here is so huge that it's almost beyond imagination. 

Walking through the gaps among the crowd and going down the steps, Lin Feng could faintly make out the scene in the distance. 

At the very bottom of the steps, there is a vast area. From Lin Feng's current perspective, that area looks like a deep canyon buried beneath the ground, and where the crowd is standing is the grandstand. 

On the flat ground above the canyon, there is an immense iron cage, enclosing the entire canyon within it. Inside the cage, there seem to be figures constantly flickering. 

"Fight!" or "Brawl!" or "Scuffle!" (depending on the context) 

Lin Feng felt that he was beginning to understand the meaning of the term "prison arena". Here, it was somewhat like the ancient Roman arenas of his previous life. The nobles sat on the steps of the spectator stands and looked down upon the scene below, watching the slaves and wild beasts fight in the arena. 

However, the cage fight arena that Lin Feng saw before him at this moment was more visually striking and more capable of stirring his emotions. 

In the Prison Arena, within that huge iron cage, there are daily fierce battles taking place. There are battles between humans and demons and beasts, as well as battles among humans themselves. Trapped within the iron cage, the battles can only end with the death of one side, and the victor can then emerge from the cage. 

When Lin Feng heard the words from Wan Aoxue, his gaze faltered for a moment. It was such a terrifying place. No wonder Wan Aoxue said that in the eyes of many people, this was a purgatory. 

Fighting while imprisoned in iron cages, only when one side is defeated can the battle be considered over. This implies that in every such cage fight, there must be casualties, or even deaths of monsters or demons. 

"At Tianyi College, every year, people die here. Of course, there are also those who rise up continuously by trampling over corpses. " Yan Aoxue looked at the vast and boundless iron cage and murmured, "Only those who truly have the courage can step into it. Only then can they be regarded as true warriors. Here, it's as cruel as a battlefield."
