Chapter 471: The Beast Arena

After hearing the man with the yellow face speak, the noisy inn suddenly quieted down.

Especially Xiao Yun and the others, all looked shocked and wondered if they heard wrong.

Even Jiang Yun, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a proud expression, furrowed his brow even tighter.

At that moment, Xiao Yun bravely walked up and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, I am the leader of Xiao Village in The Land of a Hundred Families. May I ask if you made a mistake?"

The man with the yellow face coldly glanced at Xiao Yun and said, "Are you from Xiao Village in The Land of a Hundred Families?"

Xiao Yun nodded quickly, saying, "Yes!"

"Then you’re in the right place! Remember, you must arrive at the seventh arena before dawn tomorrow. Don’t be late, as being late means elimination!"

After saying these words, the man with the yellow face turned and left.

After the man’s figure disappeared, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but say, "Are we really lucky to be chosen as the champion in our first Beast Arena visit?"

The others also smiled bitterly.

Although the selection was random, with a chance for any group to become one of the first champions, being chosen among thousands of groups was almost like winning the lottery. It was incredibly good luck for Xiao Village to be selected as one of the ten groups, with a probability of almost one in a thousand.

Most of the people in the inn looked at the people from Xiao Village with sympathy.

Because everyone knew that becoming the champion was not a good thing!

Especially for the first group of champions, to make it to the final top ten meant enduring on the arena for ten days!

Within those ten days, they would face challenges from thousands of different groups!

In the history of Beast Arena, no first group of champions had ever managed to hold on till the end.

Though Xiao Yun and the others felt helpless, there was nothing they could do. After all, the selection was final and there was no changing it.

However, a bright light flashed in Jiang Yun’s eyes.

Perhaps to others, Xiao Village becoming the champion was just luck of the draw.

But Jiang Yun sensed something fishy, as the middle-aged man from the Xia family who just looked at him had a scrutinizing gaze.

This meant that he must have at least heard of him before.

Yet, he wasn’t from this world at all. Since arriving in The Land of a Hundred Families, this was his first time leaving it.

Though somewhat known in The Land of a Hundred Families, news of him wouldn’t have reached distant Xia City, let alone the ears of the Xia family, who were part of the Daoist clan.

Realizing this, Jiang Yun thought to himself, "It seems I underestimated the power of Mu Village. Even they can make connections with the Xia family!"

At that moment, everyone gathered around Jiang Yun, their faces filled with concern, asking, "Master Jiang, what should we do now?"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and replied, "What else can we do? We’ll face the challenges head-on and try to stay on the seventh stage as long as possible!"

Although Jiang Yun spoke casually, Xiao Yun and the others felt uncertain inside.

This is not The Land of a Hundred Families. In the Beast Arena, there are thousands of clans participating. Even if divided by ten, each platform must undergo hundreds of challenges!

Hundreds of challenges, what does that really mean!

But now that things have come to this point, there’s really nothing more to say.

They could only pray in their hearts that Jiang Yun, possibly a disciple from a Daoist clan, could bring them some surprises and miracles at the Beast Arena.

The next day finally arrived, the day of the Beast Arena event. Almost everyone set off early in the morning and headed to the location of the event.

Jiang Yun and the others set off even earlier, arriving at the competition site before dawn.

The location where the Beast Arena is held is named Beast Arena.

It is a circular outdoor building, extremely large in size. Inside are ten platforms lined up, each platform the size of tens of thousands of feet.

Around the arena, there are layers of square stones stacked up to form seats from top to bottom, surrounding a circle. At the highest level are individual private boxes.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to sit here.

Each seat requires a costly spiritual stone. As for the private boxes, they require an extremely high price in spiritual stones!

Although the Beast Arena was grandly built, Xiao Yun and the others who had arrived were not in the mood to enjoy it. Everyone looked worried.

They had arrived early enough, but they were surprised to find that other groups had already gathered here, with expressions almost identical to Xiao Yun and his group.

Obviously, they had also been selected as the first batch of competitors by drawing lots.

Only Jiang Yun was casually looking around the Beast Arena, seemingly unaffected.

"If I am not chosen as a competitor, I can simply use some spiritual stones to buy a private box and watch the other contestants compete with everyone inside," he thought.

After all, he was wealthy now, and the one thing he wasn’t lacking was spiritual stones.

"When the tenth day arrived, choose a weaker opponent to challenge."

Jiang Yun believed that there were many people who shared the same thoughts as him.

Although staying on the platform for an extra day would bring additional rewards, the cost was also extremely high.

However, there would certainly be some groups who, despite knowing it was impossible to enter the top ten, would still be eager to challenge first.

As for the so-called drawing lots, Jiang Yun scoffed at the idea.

Looking at the nine groups around him who were about to become challengers, not even a cultivator from the Sky Reaching Realm was present, indicating that the drawing lots could be manipulated.

As all ten groups had gathered, after a while, the man with the yellow face who had informed Jiang Yun of their presence yesterday appeared in front of everyone.

The man glanced at everyone and said, "Now, except for the Beast Tamer, everyone else should leave quickly, line up according to the order of the platforms, and follow me into the Beast Arena!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun and others hurried to Jiang Yun’s side.

"Master Jiang, be careful!"

"Yes, it doesn’t matter if we win or not, just don’t get hurt!"

"We’ll be outside waiting for your good news!"

Upon hearing the sincere words of comfort from everyone, Jiang Yun smiled slightly, took out a storage ring filled with spiritual stones, and handed it to Xiao Yun, saying, "I understand, Village Chief Xiao, use these spiritual stones to book a room and wait for me!"

"Um…"

Xiao Yun’s divine sense scanned the storage ring and was shocked by the number of spiritual stones inside.

"Alright, let’s go, I’m going in!"

After saying that, Jiang Yun waved to the crowd, then walked into the Beast Arena with the other nine Beast Tamers from different tribes.

After watching Jiang Yun’s figure disappear, Xiao Yun and the others nervously turned and left.

However, they didn’t follow Jiang Yun’s instructions to book a private room, they just bought eight seats closer to the front.

Even so, the amount of spiritual stones spent made Xiao Yun feel a bit distressed.

Led by the man with a yellow face, Jiang Yun and the other nine people stepped onto their own platform one by one.

"Wait here, at dawn, the Beast Arena will begin!"

With a simple instruction, the man with a yellow face turned and left.

It was still night, the sky was not yet bright, the stands around were empty, and only Jiang Yun and the other nine people were in the large Beast Arena.

None of the ten people felt like talking, each remained silent, waiting for the sky to brighten and for the Beast Arena to start.
