Chapter 425

Looking at Planet Tania from the distant sky, the planet was as resplendent as a diamond, because it was a planet rich in Christos ore. The Crystal Ore would show a white diffuse reflection state under the illumination of light. This was the main reason why Tania fell in love with the planet the first time she saw it.

Because of this characteristic, the planet became a tourist attraction not long after it was discovered.

Of course, over the years, in addition to the bright ore, a large number of scenic spots had been developed, making the planet's tourism flourishing.

After Tania's Beautiful Pirates settled in, the planet became one of the wealthiest planets under Tania's jurisdiction.

When Gu Ding's crew saw the diamond-like planet outside Planet Tania's atmosphere, they were amazed.

"It's so beautiful!" Lilliath looked at the planet through the window. "If I had a choice, I'd live on this planet for the rest of my life."

"If there's enough good food on this planet, I'd consider living here for the rest of my life." Ayesha added an additional condition.

The spaceship soon docked at Planet Tania's port. After Gu Ding and the others got off the spaceship, they quickly found a hotel with Neptune's help and settled in.

"We arrived two days early. Tania's birthday party starts the day after tomorrow. Everyone can walk around and familiarize themselves with the planet," Neptune reminded everyone.

"Are there any fun places on this planet?" Lilliath asked.

"There are more than a hundred scenic spots on this planet, but the most unique one isn't the scenic spots. It's a place called the Boulder Arena," Neptune explained. "Because Tania likes to watch arena matches, there are matches in the Boulder Arena every day. It's said that the annual champion is eligible to meet Tania and have dinner with her once. They'll also be invited to the next year's birthday party.

"Of course, in addition to the competition, there's also a spin-off event — gambling. This is a legal gambling event organized by Tania's men. After everyone who participates in the competition registers, they'll have an estimated odds. Of course, the odds will also change according to the number of matches. You can bet on the win or loss of a single match, or you can bet on the monthly champion or the annual champion. If you bet on the annual champion, the bet could be dozens of times higher. This is one of the more unique places on this planet. It's very rare on other planets. "

"Let's go take a look!" Gu Ding also wanted to see what the standards of this so-called Challenge Arena were.

The boulder arena was not a natural landscape on this planet.

If it was really a natural rock, it would not be able to withstand the bombardment of a Demigod and above powerhouse. A normal attack would be enough to shatter it, let alone withstand the high-intensity confrontation between two people. Besides, demigods weren't the only ones competing in this arena. Lesser deities, intermediate deities, and even higher deities would frequently appear as well.

These arenas were said to be relics from ancient times, excavated by Tania's men from a planet, and then transported here.

When Gu Ding and the others saw the arenas, their first reaction was shock. That was because the so-called arena was actually twelve incomparably thick pillars. Those pillars alone had a diameter of a hundred meters, and their height was so high that it reached into the clouds.

The spectator stands were also built on top of the clouds.

Gu Ding and the others bought their tickets and took the elevator up to the clouds. It took them a long time to find their seats.

There were already people fighting in the twelve arenas, and it was very lively. Gu Ding and the others had bought tickets for Arena 12. This was the only arena in the spectator stands that had an empty seat. In this arena, a new challenger just happened to stand up.

In front of Gu Ding and the others' seats, information about the two was projected on the seats.

Challenger: Barttersby

Gender: Male

Cultivation Level: Five-star Lower Deity

[Odds: 2.31]

…

[Challenged: Bordel]

Gender: Male

Cultivation Level: Two-star Middle Deity

[Odds: 1.17]

…

The so-called odds were the multiplier that people who bet on him to win would receive if he won this round. The odds were 2.31, which meant that if someone bet 100 million Universe Crystals, the final prize would become 231 million Universe Crystals. If the odds were 1.17, it meant that a capital of 100 million Universe Crystals could only win 117 million Universe Crystals.

Of course, Gu Ding and the others were just watching the show and had no plans to place any bets.

"Gu Ding, what do you think of this match?" Lilliath looked at Gu Ding with a smile.

"The challenger named Barttersby will win," Gu Ding gave his opinion without hesitation.

"Not necessarily. That Bordel's cultivation level is higher." Dockett did not understand why Gu Ding had such an opinion.

"I'm not looking at cultivation level, I'm looking at aura. Gu Ding shook his head. "Battersby's aura is very strong, like that of a ferocious beast. He must have been through a lot of killing. As for that Bordel, his aura is obviously much weaker, and his murderous aura is not obvious. It's very likely that he'll lose! "

"I also think Barttersby will win, but unlike Gu Ding, I'm judging from the strength of his soul." Lilliath also gave her opinion. "Although Battersby's cultivation level is only a Five-star Lower Deity, the strength of his soul is close to that of a Four-star Medium Deity, far surpassing Bordel's Two-star Medium Deity. It's obvious that Barttersby knows soul-related secret techniques, and his soul strength is two ranks higher. It's unlikely that he'll lose in this situation. "

Dockett's soul strength was not weak either, and he quickly discovered that what Lilliath said was true. "Looks like I was wrong."

In the ring, the match did not last long. The result was just as Gu Ding and Lilliath had expected. The challenger, Barttersby, won the match. In the ring, there was a lot of criticism because many people had bet on Bordel to win. Originally, they thought that the bet was a sure win, but they did not expect an upset.

Of course, there were also a few people who bet on the upset who made a fortune and were secretly happy.

After winning the match, Barttersby became the ring master of the ring.

A few Middle Deities who were not convinced went up to challenge him, but they were all defeated.

Gu Ding and the others watched for a while and felt that this level of competition was not interesting. Just as they were about to get up and leave, a teenager appeared in the ring in a flash.

The teenager's aura immediately caught Gu Ding's attention.

Seeing that Gu Ding had suddenly stopped, Lilliath asked, "Aren't we leaving?"

"Let's finish watching this match." Gu Ding shook his head. He could feel that the teenager had the same cultivation level as him, a demigod. However, the teenager's aura was much stronger than Barttersby's. The intensity of the aura was extremely close to the level of a Higher Deity.

Gu Ding quickly clicked on the teenager's information:

[Challenger: Errott]

Gender: Male

Cultivation Level: Demigod

[Odds: 4.87]

The odds of 4.87 were basically very difficult to surpass. This was because there was a limit to the odds of 5.00 for a single match. Not only was the teenager's odds as high as 4.87, but even Barttersby's odds had dropped to 1.12.

This time, Gu Ding did not just sit and watch the match like before. He grinned. "Neptune, help me bet a hundred million Universe Crystals that Eilort will win."

"Gu Ding, do you know him?" Lilliath asked with some surprise. She had checked on the teenager and did not find anything special about him.

"I don't know him, but I found that he's very strong. He's not much weaker than I was before I went through the calamity." Gu Ding smiled.

"This Eilort is a powerhouse who ranks thirteenth on the Demigod Monster Ranking. He's an independent mercenary. He's a descendant of the ancient Moonworshipping Tribe. At night, his combat effectiveness is increased dozens of times, "Neptune's explanation rang clearly in Gu Ding and the others' ears. "He's also on Tania's invitation list."

"If that's the case, we should also place our bets." As Lilliath spoke, she placed a bet of ten billion Universe Crystals. As a result, the odds dropped from the original 4.87 to 4.21 because of her antics.

"Do you have to be so ruthless?" Gu Ding was a little speechless.

The reduced odds did not affect Lilliath much because when she placed her bet on winning, the odds were 4.87, and the final deal would be based on that. However, the people who placed their bets on winning could only place the odds at 4.21.

"I don't usually have the opportunity to earn pocket money. What's wrong with taking the opportunity to earn some?" Lilliath looked at Gu Ding with a smug expression. "Who told you to be so stingy and only bet a hundred million?"

The battle between Elliot and Battersby ended extremely quickly, and it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Battersby's combat effectiveness had convinced many people of his strength, but Eilort's appearance had completely reversed everyone's common sense. He had knocked Battersby to the ground with just one blow, and the blow had been delivered with just one finger.

Some of the angry spectators in the audience scolded Battersby for deliberately losing the match. In fact, deliberately losing a match did happen occasionally, but this time it was not a pre-arranged match. It was because Eilort's strength was so strong that he defeated Battersby with just one blow.

"I got my pocket money." After receiving the transfer message, Lilliath raised the wristwatch on her hand and glanced at Gu Ding with a flaunt expression.

"Very good. Tagore and Blue's snacks will be all yours for the time being." Gu Ding glanced at her lightly, but he was laughing in his heart.

Lilliath glared at Gu Ding, a little speechless.

Ayesha, who was next to her, immediately cast a sympathetic look at Lilliath.

In the ring, Eilort's gaze fell on Gu Ding from afar. He stood there and suddenly said, "Gu Ding, I want to challenge you!"

His voice was like a thunderous roar. Not only did it reach Gu Ding's ears clearly, but it also reached the other eleven rings and the stands, startling everyone.
