When building the arena, Jun Changxiao had a flash of inspiration and ordered Peppa to also construct spectator seating, precisely to see if there was any business opportunity.
Sure enough!
Fighting Earth-tier warriors attracted quite a few martial artists.
To watch the excitement, they had to enter the spectator seating. To enter the spectator seating, they had to pay.
No robbery, no extortion—clearly marked prices!
Jun Changxiao was indeed doing legitimate business. No one could find fault with it.
Using a small amount of ore resources to gain the opportunity to spectate Earth-tier powerhouse battles didn’t seem like a loss at all, so many warriors walked up to pay one after another.
The spectator platform could accommodate one hundred thousand audience members. In a short time, it was nearly full.
“Sect Master.”
Li Qingyang held the tallied ore list and said, “Sixty types of ores, totaling four million two hundred thousand jin.”
After simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, plus rounding, Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “With this much ore, the three weapons should each be able to forge four or five thousand, right?”
System: “……”
The host set up the arena to challenge Earth-tier warriors—first to measure his own strength, second to show off. Yet it became a channel for earning resources.
“Why not combine showing off and making money?”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao lightly shrugged his shoulders, and his mink fur coat slid off.
Xiao Zuiji took a step forward to catch it, then draped it over his wrist and stepped back to his original position.
“Swish!”
With a leap, he floated down onto the fighting platform.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
Artificial wind waves blew from the side, sweeping open Jun Changxiao’s flowing black hair, revealing a chiseled face.
The camera gave a close-up, slowly rotating from right to left, displaying his handsomeness in all directions.
There should be applause here.
……
After landing on the fighting platform, Jun Changxiao smoothed back his black hair and said, “Welcome everyone for coming from afar to spectate. Next, Jun will challenge Earth-tier powerhouses from all planes. Whoever wins can obtain one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones.”
“Clap clap clap!”
After speaking, he clapped his hands.
Li Qingyang walked out from the stronghold carrying a large box, then placed it on a prepared stone platform. When opened, it revealed densely packed spirit stones.
Because there were no restrictions, the warriors present could all extend their spiritual energy. They quickly confirmed it was indeed one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones!
Precious martial dao resources were normally stored in spatial rings. Now they were openly placed on the stone platform in such large quantities—truly extremely tempting.
Wait!
Warriors from various planes suddenly realized an extremely serious problem.
The disciple who caught the mink fur coat, the disciple who walked out with the box—hadn’t they… died in the Asura Battlefield?
“Holy crap, how are these disciples still alive!”
“The guy who took the mink fur coat was clearly hacked to death by random swords. Even if he wasn’t killed at the time but only heavily injured, he shouldn’t be completely fine!”
Many warriors who had spectated the Asura Battlefield belatedly discovered this and rubbed their eyes one after another. After confirming they weren’t mistaken, they all said in disbelief, “This is incredible!”
Fortunately, they only saw a few Eternal Sect disciples who had ‘died.’ They hadn’t seen the two thousand Xingyun Continent warriors who left early. Otherwise, they would definitely be shocked enough to take off on the spot, then be pulled onto an ambulance by doctors, struggling and roaring, “I’m not crazy! I’m not crazy!”
The Earth-tier powerhouses present didn’t care about this matter. After seeing one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones, their eyes immediately gleamed.
Spirit stones from Nine Heavens Continent—those were good stuff!
If they obtained them, they could definitely cultivate peacefully for a long period!
“Of course,” Jun Changxiao supplemented, “Let me say the ugly words first. If Jun is lucky enough to win, the loser must also take out something.”
This statement was undoubtedly like cold water, waking up nearly a hundred Earth-tier powerhouses present.
“Sect Master Jun.”
One Earth-tier powerhouse asked, “What do we need to take out?”
“Those who lose to Jun need to hand over ten thousand spirit stones. If you really don’t have any, substituting with ores is also fine.” Jun Changxiao pointed to one side and said, “As for what ores, they’re already listed here.”
Everyone turned their heads and saw two Eternal Sect disciples carrying out a large wooden board.
The board was covered with various kinds of ores. Not only did it note the jin amounts that could substitute for ten thousand spirit stones, it also had detailed graphic introductions of the ores.
The same ores existed between planes, but the names might differ. So including pictures made it easier for them to understand.
What do you know?
After plane warriors examined them one by one, they could all find corresponding matches among the ores, and some ores were even quite ordinary.
“One hundred jin of Xiao Silver Stone can substitute for ten thousand spirit stones. This is definitely worth it,” a certain plane’s Earth-tier powerhouse thought to himself.
It being worth it was correct!
Jun Changxiao’s real purpose wasn’t to make losing warriors give ten thousand spirit stones, but to have them substitute with ores.
First give a fixed price, then allow substitution with items of lower original value—definitely easier to accept.
“Since Sect Master Jun has taken out one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones, if this old man challenges and loses, giving ten thousand spirit stones is reasonable!” One Earth-tier powerhouse agreed.
Other powerhouses had no objections either.
The temptation of one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones was too great.
Moreover, they could use a small amount of ore to substitute for ten thousand spirit stones. Naturally, they were willing to gamble.
“In that case.”
Jun Changxiao waved his sleeve and cupped his fists, “Then let’s not waste words. Who will be first to take the stage to fight Jun?”
“Swish!”
As soon as his words fell, one Earth-tier powerhouse was first to fly over, then landed on the fighting platform and cupped his fists, “Song requests Sect Master Jun’s brilliant moves!”
“However…”
His expression turned grave, “Let me say beforehand, Sect Master Jun absolutely must not use that sword with writing on it!”
Other powerhouses eager to try immediately pricked up their ears.
What everyone feared most was still the难收 Blade. If Dog Sheng took it out to use, they definitely wouldn’t challenge him, because it would be no different from freely giving away spirit stones and ores.
“Rest assured.”
Jun Changxiao said seriously, “Jun will not use that weapon.”
“Please!”
The Earth-tier powerhouse surnamed Song cupped his fists.
“Please!”
Jun Changxiao clasped his hands.
“Whoosh whoosh!”
As soon as the words fell, the Earth-tier powerhouse shot forward like a cannonball. His hands rapidly formed seals, and towering palm prints immediately pressed over from left and right.
This time, the goal was one hundred thousand Six-Pointed Star Stones, not friendly sparring, so he entered combat mode right from the start!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Jun Changxiao showed no fear. As various overwhelming palm prints bombarded him, his fists immediately swung, easily breaking them apart.
“Crack crack crack—”
With simple attack and defense exchanges, space couldn’t support it and immediately showed cracks.
The array-reinforced fighting platform remained completely unmoved.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In an instant, Jun Changxiao and the Earth-tier powerhouse engaged in fierce battle, with various energies unleashed wantonly.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Around the fighting platform’s perimeter, faint array barriers appeared, blocking all forces that could endanger the spectator platform.
The protective facilities were perfect.
“Such fast speed!”
“Can’t capture how they’re attacking at all!”
“Earth-tier powerhouses are terrifying indeed!”
The spectators’ hearts shook with amazement. After confirming they wouldn’t be affected, they immediately felt that spending several dozen jin of ore in exchange for close-range spectating was truly super worthwhile!
It must be said.
Jun Changxiao was very good at doing business.
The paying consumers were extremely satisfied with both the viewing experience and physical experience, even believing it exceeded the value!
