“There is a strict formation on the high platform, making it impossible to use any magical energy. The formation will only close after the winner is determined, and then we can relax.”
“But many people were thrown from the stage and shattered into pieces before the competition was over.”
“You’re willing to lose your life for a small amount of immortality coins? Do you still think making money is easy?”
the middle-aged man asked.
“These rules are acceptable and easy to administer.” David nodded.
“Brother Daoist Chen, do you also want to go up and try it?”
Xiu Rui asked.
“Of course, if there’s something as fun as this, I’ll definitely try it.”
David nodded and said.
“Young man, I suggest you don’t try. Judging by your stature, you probably won’t last more than two hits.”
“This is only the first match. There are still nine matches left. Even if you win, you still have to accept the challenge from the next person.”
“In that case, you are completely incapable of dealing with it. If you want to try, you can find the right opportunity and go on stage when the person on stage has already fought two rounds and is exhausted.”
“All of this is achieved by using your brain; you cannot win using mere physical strength.”
The middle-aged man was giving David advice.
“Is there no one who can stay on stage until the end?”
David asked curiously.
“Of course there are, but nowadays these are often arranged in secret. By playing ten games in this way, one can enter the city lord’s residence.”
“Now everyone knows the truth, so they are just here to watch the show.”
“As far as I know, in thousands of years, only three people have managed to stand on the high podium until the end without cheating.”
“You should know that without using magical aura, relying solely on physical strength, it has nothing to do with cultivation level.”
“That’s what the middle-aged man said.”
Hearing this, David was amused. It turned out that the Celestial Realm also valued such things, just like in the mortal world, when auctions were held, many people were hired as accomplices!
The winner has already been determined; then what’s the point of such competition?
“If that’s the case, then what’s the point of this kind of competition?” Xiu Rui couldn’t help but smile sarcastically.
“Did you know? This is a matter of social etiquette. See those two people on the platform? Even though they’re battered and bruised, it’s all pretend.”
“The man in the dragon robe is Long Qi, the young master of the Long family in Rhino City, so he will definitely win this time.”
“They have already arranged for these people to come on stage. Everyone knows this, and no one else wants to come on stage.”
“We still have to respect the Long family, otherwise, just forget about the possibility of them ever being successful in Rhino City again.”
The middle-aged man patiently explained to David and the others, perhaps to show off how much he knew.
