Main Text Volume Chapter 164 Watching the Battle

The 8th Apprentice Town Underground Market, Sky Tower 1st Floor. 『

Angel and his three companions came to the underground market, and the first place they went to was the Sky Tower. Angel and Nausicaa both intended to participate in the competition, and their purpose of coming here this time was to feel the atmosphere of the Sky Tower up close and what kind of competitive opponents they would face.

The Sky Tower has a total of 15 floors, and each floor has a limited score. Once the score exceeds the limit, you can apply to advance to the next floor. Of course, you can also not advance, but if you choose not to advance, even if you defeat your opponent, the contribution points you can get are negligible. This is a protection mechanism for the Sky Tower Arena for contestants.

The interior of the Sky Tower is painted with magic patterns that expand the space, so the venue on each floor is very spacious. There are ten arenas on the first floor, all of which are 4ox4o (unit: meter), and there are audience seats next to all the arenas.

Because the audience seats on the first floor are free of charge, almost every arena is surrounded by spectators, and a large part of them are ordinary people. They are basically the lower-class people working in the underground market, and they have no entertainment on weekdays. The Sky Tower is their only way of entertainment.

"There are more people on the first floor. Tickets are required for seats on higher floors. Ordinary people don't have magic crystals, so it's impossible for them to go upstairs to watch the game. So the upstairs is relatively quiet, but from the 13th to the 15th floor, there are more spectators, and these spectators are basically wizard apprentices." After being promoted to a wizard apprentice, Sailum had also come to the Sky Tower out of curiosity in the past few months, so he knew it very well.

"Don't think about the upstairs, let's take a look at the level of the contestants on the first floor." After Angel finished speaking, the three of them found a competition platform with fewer people and sat in the audience seats.

The competition hadn't started yet, and the contestants hadn't entered the arena yet. The three of them chatted casually. Not long after chatting, a hunchbacked old man carrying a box walked up to them.

This old man was a mortal. When Angel was still wondering why this man stood in front of them, he saw Sailum took out a silver coin and bought a few glasses of juice and fried golden dough from the box carried by the old man.

Angel: "..." So they were selling groceries.

"These mortals are also quite economically savvy. One silver coin is enough for ordinary people to live for a month in other places, but here you can make money by selling some drinks." While handing the juice and fried dough to the two, Sarum recalled the hardships of living in the Principality of Versailles in the past.

Angel took a bite of the fried dough, and the soft texture and the faint milky taste made him very satisfied.

"Is it delicious? I know you like it." Seeing the "happy" expression on Angel's face, Sarum immediately raised his little face to ask for credit.

Angel was about to answer when he heard Nausicaa's words--

"The milk taste is too strong, which is more suitable for your children's taste. I actually prefer salty and fragrant." Nausicaa took a bite and put it aside.

After hearing this, Angel's expression froze: "The taste is average, my taste is actually a bit similar to Nausicaa's."

The three of them ate and drank while waiting for the competition to begin.

Not long after, one person walked out from each of the two contestant passages. Both of them were wearing large robes that covered their faces and bodies.

At this time, Angel found that there was a large glass transparent frame hanging right above the arena. He didn't notice it at first, until the two contestants came on stage, he was surprised to find that the transparent frame was flashing a countdown, as well as the names and avatars of both contestants.

"Countdown 3:39"

"King of Beasts vs. Immortal Ice Emperor"

Angel was still surprised that this transparent frame was already very similar to a holographic tablet to some extent. Sky Mechanical City is indeed a holy place for mechanical alchemy. You can see the background of any alchemy product; but he hadn't finished sighing. When he saw the names of the two opponents, he couldn't help but spit out the drink he had just drunk.

—— Fortunately, there was no one in front of him.

"What the hell is this?! King of Beasts, Immortal Ice Emperor, how can they be so famous?" Angel was stunned. Did he enter the wrong arena and accidentally travel to the legendary wizard's martial arts training ground?

At this time, the two people on the arena threw their robes away in an extremely childish posture, revealing their true appearance.

The King of Beasts is a dark man with a huge bow and arrow on his back, a colorful totem on his face, colorful feathers on his head, and only a tiger skin skirt. His dress is a bit like Hook Dick's original appearance, a primitive aboriginal, but the colorful totem on his face and the colorful feather headband make him more exaggerated than Hook Dick.

The Immortal Ice Emperor is also a man. And in order to highlight the name of "Ice", his clothes are all snow-white, with various exquisite accessories hanging on him, and most importantly, his head is also white.

However, from the middle of his scattered hair, dark roots can be vaguely seen. Needless to say, his white must be dyed.

"He is so exaggeratedly dressed and has such a big name, so his strength should be pretty good, right?" Angel thought to himself.

At this time, the countdown became o.

The two of them started to move instantly, and the Immortal Ice Emperor shouted: "Ice and snow!"

After the words fell, he stood still, as if building a magic model in his mind. Three seconds later, white frost marks appeared on the ground within a range of about two or three meters in front of him.

The King of Beasts was not to be outdone, and somersaulted on the spot. In the puzzled eyes of everyone, he posed with one hand on the ground, crawling and looking up.

"Come out, my king!"

After a long while, a light smoke burst out from the King of Beasts, and then a pure white kitten walked out of the smoke.

"Go, King! Go and break his world of ice and snow!" The King of Beasts waved his hand and pointed, full of momentum, as if he had thousands of soldiers under his command ready to charge into battle.

The pure white kitten cooperated very well and opened its mouth: "Meow--"

A coquettish, crisp, shy cry.

Angell and the other two: "..."

After a long while, Selum pulled the corner of his mouth: "It looks so unreliable, why don't we go to other arenas?"

Nausicaa raised her eyebrows: "Actually, this cat is quite cute."

Angel: "When did the Frost Spell change its name to the World of Ice and Snow?" The Frost Spell is an O-level trick, and its effect is similar to the "Greasy Spell", which summons a small range of frost to hinder others from moving forward. Two similar low-level tricks, most wizard apprentices choose Grease, because Grease can at least ignite and cause burning damage.

The three of them had their own complaints in their hearts, but the ordinary people watching cheered, and some people cooperated and shouted: "Go, King, tear the arrogant Ice Emperor to pieces and pull him down from the highest throne!"

No one objected to the shameful words, but the atmosphere became more heated.

"Shall we get out?" Sailum asked again.

"Whatever. With the strength of these two people, I can defeat them with my fists and feet alone, without weapons." Nausicaa stroked the soft sword at her waist.

Sailum looked at Angel, but Angel shook his head: "Wait a minute." Then he continued to focus on the arena.

At this time, the white kitten had broken through to the range of "Ice and Snow". The Immortal Ice Emperor snorted coldly, and after a while of chanting, a slow ice knife broke through the air.

The white kitten was very fast and dodged the ice knife. At this time, the Immortal Ice Emperor suddenly jumped out. The white kitten couldn't turn around in mid-air. The Ice Emperor kicked it hard, and the kitten fell into the "ice and snow", wailing non-stop.

"Ah! My king!" The King of Beasts sighed and rushed to the white kitten in a voice that was almost an aria. He picked up the kitten tenderly, with a look of heartache on his face.

The audience was also infected by this scene, and some people wiped tears quietly.

The King of Beasts had tears in his eyes: "I admit defeat. The Immortal Ice Emperor's strength is indeed extraordinary."

The Immortal Ice Emperor snorted, "You know what's good for you." Then he turned around and left with his head held high.

The hanging glass screen also displayed a row of words in time: "Immortal Ice Emperor, victory!"

Angell and the other two: "..."

Angell: "I regret it, let's go."

Sailum covered his face with his hands: "Let's go quickly. I feel ashamed to stay here. Fortunately, no one knows us."

...

The three of them changed several arenas on the first floor of the Sky Tower to watch.

There are "King of Magic vs. Dragon Flame", "Unbeaten King of War vs. Thunder God of Lightning Cloud", "Eternal Sage vs. Little Sword Saint"...

Angel found that the names of these apprentices on the field were all shocking, but their abilities seemed to be at the level of ordinary first-level apprentices, and even some ordinary people who had practiced martial arts could beat them.

"I think we entered a fake Sky Tower." Sailum said silently after watching these games.

"The last time I came to watch the game, the contestants didn't seem so weak. Why did the level suddenly drop so much?" Nausicaa was puzzled.

Angel: "Have you forgotten, Phantom Island."

Angel's reminder made them suddenly realize. This time, most of the wizard apprentices went to Phantom Island to meet opportunities, so the Sky Tower was left with only the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates.

Moreover, the Phantom Island incident also led to the fall of hundreds of elite apprentices. It is estimated that in a short period of time, the contestants of the Sky Tower will be this kind of wild seedlings of mixed quality.

Thinking of this, Nausicaa's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think this is an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Seerum looked over and saw Nausicaa rubbing her hands in anticipation, and was surprised: "Miss Nausicaa, do you want to..."

Nausicaa nodded: "Yes, I want to climb the tower now! I think I can try to rush in these few days. I will try as much as I can, just as saving the cost of the magic pattern leather scroll." She originally planned to spend money to open the way, but now there is such a great opportunity, how could she not want to take advantage of it.

Angel also agreed with this: "I think it's good. With Nausicaa's fighting power, at least there is no opponent on the first floor."

So, they didn't think about continuing to watch the battle, but accompanied Nausicaa to the Sky Tower Management Office on the first floor. Let the management register Nausicaa.
