Chapter 972: Battle Royale
*Crack-crack-crack…*
There were three sharp clicks in a row.
The three brothers got up and headed for the hall.
They also gave up because their opponent was very strong - their opponent was Bunker.
In an instant, the eight players refused to continue fighting.
— What! Did the eight participants decide to leave it at that? Huck said incredulously.
He hadn't played a single game in the arenas, and usually there were at least 40 contestants left after the second round, but this time there were only a few left 22.
This year's fights in this arena were the most violent in the last hundred years, but at the same time it gathered a record number of spectators.
Any fighter could be famous right now. By becoming famous, he could attract the attention of major forces, and naturally, he could gain incredible opportunities. This time there were more than three million viewers. In the first two rounds, those who came here for glory were eliminated, and now those who were not ready to give up their lives decided to leave.
Many promising creatures who were injured decided to give up and not try their luck.
There were many strong people among the fighters of these battles, for example, the famous Wind Prince, the Zerg-born Bunker, the steel strongman Kroff, the ear hunter Leysa, and most importantly, even the long-vanished Shadow of Law took part in these battles.
Faced with such serious opponents, many fighters who were injured decided to give up.
*Crackle-crackle…*
There were two more sharp clicks.
Two more decided not to fight.
— Oh my God, there are only ten contestants left! Huck shouted and leaned back in his chair.
At first, there was silence in the spectator stands, which quickly turned into cheers, and soon they were already echoing throughout the arena.
— What will happen next? Huck asked excitedly, and pointed the microphone toward the stands.
— Battle Royale, Battle Royale, Battle Royale...
The screams of the audience were deafening. Su Xiao held his number between his thumb and middle finger. He was willing to give up fighting. After all, the rewards for reaching the top 3 were good, but as yet, no one knew what exactly the winners would be given out this time.
Plus, he didn't want to stay in the Void Arena for too long. The void was too dangerous for him.
However, after hearing the screams of the audience, Su Xiao had an idea in his head. If this was what he was thinking, then the arena fights would most likely end within an hour.
True, Su Xiao still didn't know what the rewards were for reaching the top 3, but the organizers of the fights seemed to be very confident in their rewards.
And the participants obviously also trusted the organizers, because no one would risk their lives without the possibility of receiving a very good reward.
— Please, the remaining ten contestants, enter the arena.
Ping raised his eyebrows at Huck's shout and thought about something.
Previously, he had always wondered why fights in this arena were so popular.
And now he was given the answer to that question.
The first arena fights were just an aperitif to the main course.
When the number of participants became equal to or less than ten, the rules changed dramatically.
Ten contestants would enter the arena and engage in battle at the same time. As for the ranking of participants, the final numbers in the leaderboard were given out posthumously or when the fighter broke his badge.
The one who was the last to stand on his feet became the winner of this battle.
It was basically an elimination match, and the longer a contestant lived in that fight, the higher their ranking would be.
If a contestant broke their badge too early, they would obviously definitely not make it to the top 3, but the longer they fought, the more likely they were to die.
The organizers didn't care if the final fight was fair or not. They only wanted to get as many viewers and popularity as possible. As for the possible collusion of the fighters, which would lead to a dishonest battle, this was just a stupid excuse.
If someone managed to make contact with their enemy, it was part of their strength.
This was the Void Arena, an arena without rules, not post-fight wrestling. This arena was covered in yellow sand and the blood of countless daredevils who believed in their strength. The winner got everything, and the loser went to the next world.
The strong got everything, while the weak got nothing.
It was a straightforward and honest rule.
Su Xiao entered the arena while the other nine contestants were thinking in the waiting area.
The atmosphere reached its climax.
Huck, sensing that the time had come, quietly contacted the organizers and started talking about something, and as soon as he finished, a smile graced his face.
— As usual, the rewards for taking the top three places will be announced before the final fight starts, " Huck said and waved his hand, and three half-dressed girls immediately came out with trays in their hands.
Each tray was completely covered with a piece of black cloth, and at this moment, all the big screens in the arena were showing only three of these trays in close-ups.
— The reward for third place is the Ainzi III Combat auxiliary device, " Gek said, and removed the black cloth from the tray.
There was a high-tech glove on top of it, and a close-up of "Ainzi III Combat Auxiliary Device" appeared on the screens».
Many of the onlookers let out a sharp sigh. The third place reward was very valuable. This device was quite famous in the void. Even the first version of this device was sold at an exorbitant price, and the third version is much more expensive.
— Hahaha, are you already regretting not going any further? Well, you'll be even more sorry now — " Huck said, and removed the black cloth from another tray.
On the second tray was an envelope.
There was a letter in it.
— This is the right to build a vibrating steel mine on the star Tis. With this right, anyone can build a mine there and they won't have to pay taxes." Not to mention the audience, even he himself was surprised. Vibrating steel was a special metal, a very expensive special metal. Alchemists, creators of advanced mechanisms, gunsmiths… This metal was used in many areas at a very high level, and this metal in most cases was the main material for creating very expensive things.
Often, no more than 3 grams of such steel were sold at a time, which indicated the huge cost of this metal..
— Wow~...
There was an uproar in the spectator stands. Not only the audience, but also the representatives of the big factions were surprised.
No matter who got the right, even if they weren't very talented, any faction would do anything to get the right.
The fact that the reward for second place was so good indicated how fierce the fights in this arena were, however, winning these fights could immediately make one incredibly rich.
— And the reward for first place... " said Huck, and fell silent.
He couldn't contain his greed.
The black cloth stopped hiding the first place award.
There was a fist-sized crystal on the tray. It was green.
Because of this crystal, the tray was currently covered in green plants.
They all looked alive and they were all full of life, as if they were growing on very fertile soil.
A powerful aura of life spread out in all directions.
The entire audience was baffled.
Many people couldn't remember what kind of crystal it was, but as soon as they remembered its name, they immediately began to breathe rapidly, and some even got up from their seats.
