Chapter 894: Chapter 462 Someone Ambushed? Watch Me Smash! (Double Monthly Ticket Request!)

"Fight against oneself and win against eight others?" Clyde looked at the poster in front of him and couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue.

The number 1 followed by a series of 0s was indeed impactful, how much food could it buy.

Not far behind, Florian looked at the poster in front of him.

"Teacher, I want to give it a try..." Clyde turned his head, the young man’s face showed some eagerness to try, he had some abilities, confident he could beat them.

"No." Florian shook his head expressionlessly, "This temporary transit is already beyond expectation, as soon as the space membrane is finished, we’ll leave immediately."

"Alright..." Clyde was disappointed.

"However, we can at least go and have a look." Florian’s tone changed, at the bottom of the poster, there was a line of words --

Audience tickets on sale.

...

"Who is up today? Josephine, Deke, where are they from? Not a single familiar name." Seth rubbed his hands, standing in front of a small stall at the castle, where people were placing bets.

"Forget it, I’ll bet on anyone randomly, this is truly a competition without insider info, how exciting!"

He took out an unknown number of times exchanged smart terminal, about to make a payment, but suddenly felt half his body drop heavily.

"Who...who is it..." Seth wriggled his body, turned his head and his face slightly changed, barely squeezing out a smile, "B-big boss, so it’s you, I’ll just get the money..."

Seth suddenly realized halfway through speaking, "No, I didn’t scam you."

"Gambling is bad..." Li Ming glanced behind him, ignoring his opinion, effortlessly lifted him up and pulled him aside.

"Big boss, intentional harm is a serious crime..." Seth’s face was ugly, cautiously reminded, feeling like his shoulder blades were about to shatter, with immense pain.

"I ask, you answer..." Li Ming was succinct, Seth nodded quickly.

"How long has this castle been here?" Li Ming asked.

"It appeared over half a month ago, supposedly paying extremely high rent." Seth said.

Wasn’t it because the Cloud Wing Star Gate Node was blown up?

Li Ming was quite surprised, upon carefully asking about the time, found that this castle appeared here before he set off.

So it shouldn’t be aimed at me, he pondered in his heart, "In all this time, has anyone succeeded in winning?"

"No one, don’t know how these people’s skills are so advanced, just a slightly scan can perfectly reproduce one’s entire strength." Seth knew quite a lot, said with emotion:

"Even superpowers and hidden genetic abilities can’t escape detection."

"Up until now, not a single person has managed to win, the most powerful one only won three rounds."

"How many people are behind this castle?" Li Ming asked again.

"On the surface, there are only two leaders, but..." Seth’s eyes moved, Li Ming smiled, "Relax, benefits won’t be lacking for you."

Seth dared not haggle: "But, I guess there’s another person, those two big guys speak an interstellar dialect, not yet included in the interstellar language database."

"I can’t hear them clearly, but when they eat, they often mention a word, with a strange pronunciation, yet their faces show subtle reverence, I guess... maybe it’s a superior."

Superior?

Li Ming became increasingly surprised, a S-level life form’s superior, could it be an x-level life form?

In this rundown place, could there really be an x-level life form laying in ambush.

It wouldn’t be aimed at me, right?

Li Ming subconsciously speculated in his heart, but then felt something was off, he had already faced those two guys.

And this way of challenging is very much in the style of Holy Castle trials.

"What’s your relationship with the barbecue shop owner?" Li Ming looked Seth up and down.

He awkwardly said: "He’s my father..."

Li Ming seemed thoughtful, casually put Seth down, said: "Let’s go, let’s watch the competition together..."

"Watch the competition?" Seth was startled, his gaze hesitant: "This..."

"I need to verify the truth of what you said, don’t worry, I’ll buy the ticket for you." Li Ming patted his shoulder, Seth’s knees went weak, almost kneeling.

Faces changing, hesitantly followed the guy in front, whose name he didn’t even know, into the castle.

The ticket price wasn’t high, only five hundred Star Coins per person.

It looked like a castle from the outside, but in reality, it was nearly hollow inside, the center was a huge arena, with audience seats on both sides.

A lot of people queued for space membrane, taking at least three days, in this barren place, there really weren’t any entertainment options, and this competition’s price was indeed not high.

"This castle’s material..." After Li Ming entered the castle, he tried his fingers on several places, seemingly made of metal materials, yet unable to absorb metal energy.

He was quite astonished, retracted his life form aura, and used energy particles to isolate contact with the seat, discreetly observed around.

After an hour or two, about two-thirds of the seats around were occupied, and the lights inside the castle suddenly dimmed.

The graceful host walked onto the arena, began introducing today’s challengers.

Li Ming glanced around, they really were quite impressive, mostly B-level life forms, the Star Gate Node being blasted did indeed attract quite a few people to this almost forgotten transit node.

"It’s already starting." Clyde whispered, hunched over to climb the stairs, based on the ticket number in his hand, looking for his seat.

"Found it... Teacher." His eyes brightened, calling Florian back, and then slightly apologizing to those around him, he sat down with a sigh of relief, focusing on the arena.
