"How was it?" Jiang Chen looked toward Hu Liena.
Hu Liena said, "The one who won this match isn't as strong as me."
Jiang Chen nodded. The two who remained at the end in that fight were both at the Soul King level, and their combat techniques were clearly inferior to Hu Liena's. If Hu Liena had participated in that match, she should have been able to win easily.
"Let's watch a few more matches."
The two continued waiting. Soon, another ten people gathered.
The Hell Slaughter Arena was surrounded by iron fences nearly a hundred meters high. Those participating in the duels inside had no way to escape.
At the edge of the killing field was an entrance. At this moment, the entrance gate opened, and ten participants walked out.
Among them, one person arrogantly released a powerful aura, proclaiming his strength. It was actually a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.
Of the other nine, two were at the Soul King level and similarly released their auras to intimidate the rest.
The remaining seven did not expose their auras. Their faces were filled with fear.
The battle began. The Soul Emperor powerhouse roared madly, his eyes blood-red as he glared at the others.
The other nine exchanged glances and, surprisingly, attacked the Soul Emperor powerhouse in unison.
Nine people besieging one. Even without the use of soul skills, although this Soul Emperor had thicker soul power, he was still torn apart by the nine.
In the end, the winner of this match turned out to be someone who had seemed completely unremarkable at the start.
This person was only at the Soul Ancestor level, yet in a battle involving a Soul Emperor and Soul Kings, he survived until the very end.
Jiang Chen and Hu Liena exchanged a glance. Both had learned quite a bit.
The strongest person doesn't necessarily survive to the end, while the weak, by using certain strategies, can also claim the final victory.
"You watch a few more matches. I'll go register and give it a try," Jiang Chen said.
He wasn't worried about his own strength; he was worried about Hu Liena. That's why he wanted her to watch more matches and gain some experience.
Hu Liena nodded. "Be careful."
Jiang Chen left the spectator stand and headed to the registration area.
At the registration desk, he took out his identity token to register, then was led to the waiting room.
In front of him, ten people had already gathered. Once the current match ended, his group would enter.
The room was empty at first; he was the first in his group to register.
On the side of the room facing the killing field was a huge glass window. Through it, the situation inside the killing field was clearly visible.
The match currently underway had a highest cultivation of only Soul Ancestor level, yet the slaughter was still brutal.
Soon, that fight ended, and the next one was prepared to begin.
The door of the room next to Jiang Chen's, facing the killing field entrance, opened. Ten participants stepped onto the field, each exuding dense killing intent.
While Jiang Chen was watching, the door to his own room opened, and people gradually entered.
He only glanced back once before turning his attention back to the battlefield.
In this match, the participants' strengths weren't high either—the strongest was only at the Soul King level.
Although there were many high-level fallen soul masters in Slaughter City, every match couldn't feature Soul Emperors, Soul Saints, or Soul Douluo-level participants.
Before this fight even ended, his room had already gathered ten people.
That meant once the match above finished, he would go on stage.
His gaze swept across the nine others in the room. Some restrained their auras, some were wildly domineering, some were extremely sinister.
Without exception, the looks they exchanged were filled with killing intent.
Fighting was not allowed during the wait; this was a rule of the Hell Slaughter Arena. No one dared violate it.
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze. Since these people hadn't fully released their auras, he couldn't judge their exact strengths.
"I hope there's a big one in here," he thought to himself.
Since soul power cultivation was difficult to improve here, he planned to focus on advancing his zombie cultivation.
The most effective way was to drink the blood of powerful experts.
More than ten minutes later, the battle ended. The staff opened the door to Jiang Chen's room, and the ten people, including Jiang Chen, stepped onto the killing field.
Jiang Chen glanced upward and instantly spotted Hu Liena in the spectator seats.
Hu Liena gave him an encouraging gesture. Jiang Chen nodded in response.
"Kid, you still dare to get distracted here? Courting death!" A sinister voice rang out. An old man had already appeared behind Jiang Chen, his withered yet powerful fingers reaching to twist Jiang Chen's head.
Jiang Chen ducked, slightly sidestepped, and with his sturdy shoulder carrying tremendous force, under the old man's shocked gaze, he slammed viciously into the old man's chest.
The old man's body shot out like a cannonball, flying more than ten meters before crashing into the iron fence. When he fell, he no longer breathed.
His chest was completely caved in, showing just how terrifying Jiang Chen's strike had been.
This old man was already a Soul King, yet he was instantly killed by Jiang Chen in one move.
In an instant, the eight others already engaged in chaos turned their attention to Jiang Chen.
Using the Three Thousand Thunder Movement, he moved swiftly across the field. No one could touch his body. When he stopped, only one middle-aged man remained in the arena.
This was the one Jiang Chen had deliberately left alive.
…
Moments later, Jiang Chen walked calmly out of the killing field's main gate.
He was not stained with a drop of blood; only a trace of blood remained at the corner of his mouth.
The fallen ones on the spectator stands looked at Jiang Chen with nothing but shock.
In this match, all nine others had been instantly killed by this youth!
They had watched clearly from outside: wherever this youth went, lightning flashed on his fists. No one could withstand a single punch from him.
Even the last Soul Emperor-level powerhouse couldn't.
What was most terrifying was that this youth had drained that Soul Emperor's blood completely. Such a brutal killing method, they had never seen anything like it in the killing field.
There were plenty of fallen ones who drank blood and ate flesh, but directly sucking a living person dry into a corpse undoubtedly filled people with fear.
Many secretly memorized Jiang Chen's appearance, marking him as someone not to provoke.
Jiang Chen took out a tissue, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, leaped up, and with light taps on the rows of seats, arrived in front of Hu Liena.
"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Jiang Chen asked.
Hu Liena nodded. "I watched four matches. Aside from yours, I'm confident I could defeat the winners of the others."
Jiang Chen said, "Not bad. In one-on-one fights, you should be able to beat them. But in the Hell Slaughter Arena's ten-person free-for-all, the situation changes instantly. Still, caution is key."
"I understand. Isn't it just pretending to be weak to eat the strong? I won't be as flashy as you." Hu Liena rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen.
"Alright, I'm going to register too. Time to secure my first victory."
Her expression began to show some excitement.
"Senior Sister, wait." Jiang Chen stopped Hu Liena and took out a completely pitch-black short sword from his soul guide device.
"This short sword has been tempered with my corpse poison for a long time. If you encounter an opponent who's too powerful, you must find a way to cut them with this sword."
Hu Liena carefully accepted it, then lightly kissed Jiang Chen on the cheek. "Don't worry. Your senior sister isn't just for show."
Jiang Chen watched as Hu Liena went to register and was led to the waiting area.
"I hope Senior Sister's first match doesn't run into too strong an opponent."
For some reason, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a trace of unease.
