Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 349: Void Arena
Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Void Arena
After finishing speaking, he went straight into the hotel.
Xiao Zhan did not take the man’s words to heart, only curious about the man’s identity and what the numbers on his chest represented.
But pondering alone would definitely lead nowhere; he had to ask someone.
Xiao Zhan wasn’t fixated on entering this hotel either.
Didn’t want to cause trouble.
Eventually, he found a relatively nice hotel with no restrictions on the outskirts of the city and checked in.
After getting the room, Xiao Zhan ordered some food.
Just as he was about to start eating,
the doorbell rang.
Opening the door, there stood a man.
"If you want to save Liu Xin, participate in the Void Competition," the man handed Xiao Zhan a registration form.
Xiao Zhan’s spirit immediately tensed. They had been so covert; how had their whereabouts been discovered?
"Who are you?"
"To save Liu Xin, participate in the Void Competition. Only by joining the Void Competition will you have a chance to save Liu Xin."
The man didn’t answer Xiao Zhan’s question but emphasized again and then left without looking back.
Xiao Zhan watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, but chose not to detain him for a forceful interrogation.
If the other party dared to show up voluntarily, it meant they weren’t afraid of Xiao Zhan’s questioning.
So, it was better not to engage in such futile acts.
He returned to the room with the form.
Ye Youlong had heard the preceding conversation; she glanced at the form, which only required simple contact information, just a name, nothing else.
"Are you going to participate?" Ye Youlong asked.
"The fact that they could find us despite our stealth means they are indeed Liu Xin’s abductors, but I’m curious why they want us to participate in the Void Arena, and what exactly is this Void Arena?"
Xiao Zhan was puzzled; the form contained no information, just an indication of the location of the Void Arena, with no introduction whatsoever.
"The kidnappers took Liu Xin yet invite us to join this arena, is this aimed specifically at us or everyone who comes to the rescue?"
Xiao Zhan felt there was more to it.
If it was specifically targeting him, then there was a carefully laid conspiracy behind it, not just the simple matter of abducting Liu Xin.
If it targeted everyone who came to rescue, targeting the agents of the Special Service Bureau, the matter was even more serious.
"Let’s go!"
Xiao Zhan looked at Ye Youlong, "We don’t have any other options, do we?"
The other side already knew about the arrival of the two of them, so they weren’t worried about their disobedience in joining the competition, reducing the chances of saving Liu Xin even further.
However, before leaving, Xiao Zhan needed to find out exactly what the Void Arena was.
He called the hotel reception and requested room service.
Soon, a female attendant came to the door.
Xiao Zhan opened the door and immediately pulled out a few Federation notes, asking, "Do you know what the Void Arena is?"
The female attendant, surprised that Xiao Zhan asked this, joyfully took the money and then said, "The Void Arena is a competition venue situated in the heart of Barbarian City; deadly competitions take place there every day. Competitors can earn competition points, which correspond to privileges in Barbarian City. The higher the points, the higher the status in Barbarian City."
"At the same time, participating also yields rewards from the God of Competition. Rewards are issued immediately, which greatly benefits the competitors, and as long as one wins, the rewards will keep coming!"
After listening to her introduction, Xiao Zhan seized on a particular word.
Deadly competition.
This meant it was not something people dared to join lightly; it was a matter of life and death.
Considering this was Barbarian City, Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but ask, "Is this the only competition mode, where competitors fight to the death?"
"Yes, that’s the only mode; competitors are randomly assigned opponents based on a variety of factors. The opponents are also assigned by the God of Competition, so there’s no need to worry about behind-the-scenes manipulation."
"Also, the only rule of the competition is to kill the opponent by any means necessary."
"Sir, are you going to participate in the Void Competition?"
The attendant looked at Xiao Zhan, thinking what a waste it would be if such a handsome man died there.
After hearing her words, Xiao Zhan did not answer her question but instead asked, "Then what does Competitor mean?"
The people from before left him feeling quite curious.
"A Competitor is someone who has participated in the Void Arena. Only those who survive can be called Competitors; they hold high status in Barbarian City," explained the female attendant.
Xiao Zhan understood, so a Competitor was just that; he had originally thought it was some impressive organization.
"Sir, if you decide to participate in the Void Arena, I can take you..."
Bang.
The door was closed right in front of her.
All she received in response was the coldness of the door.
The attendant stood at the door, a bit dumbfounded—damn, so cold-hearted. What a waste of a good-looking face.
Xiao Zhan approached Ye Youlong, his expression grave, "Deadly competition means death if you lose, yet they say this is the way to save Liu Xin. I don’t understand, if we were to die, how would we save her?"
"I always feel there’s a contradiction, something is off," said Ye Youlong.
Xiao Zhan nodded, indeed.
"Should we contact Qin Wanfeng to see what he says?"
Thinking this, Xiao Zhan immediately took out the communicator to contact him, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t get through.
"Signal blocking in this region too, damn it!" cursed Xiao Zhan, unable to hold back his expletives.
Either provide signal or don’t, but playing it this way, who are they trying to sicken?
"Who are you cursing?" Suddenly, came Ye Youlong’s icy voice.
"I wasn’t cursing anyone..." Xiao Zhan quickly realized and hurriedly grabbed Ye Youlong’s hand, "Wife, I didn’t mean that, I wasn’t cursing you."
Xiao Zhan felt uneasy, accidentally swearing in front of his wife.
Wait, that meant he was also swearing at himself.
If Ye Youlong was a dog, then he...
...
The next morning.
After a night of serious consideration, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong still arrived at the Void Arena.
The reasons were simple.
First, they couldn’t back down from something they had already committed to, even if it was dangerous.
Second, they called the female attendant over again and inquired more meticulously about the Void Arena.
They learned that most of the competitors inside were from Third Grade, Fourth Grade, and Fifth Grade, strengths that Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong did not fear.
Even Reksen, who held the latest record with ninety-nine consecutive wins, was only at Sixth Grade Realm.
Although Xiao Zhan hadn’t had the chance to spar with Ye Wudi yet, he didn’t believe he would lose to a Sixth Grade Realm.
