Chapter 572

On the second level of Purgatory Gate, Gu Ding stood in the arena. Many people looked at him. Judging by the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that many of them had recognized him.

The passageway to each level of Purgatory Gate was in the arena. As a prisoner, he had to defeat three gatekeepers to gain permission to go to the next level.

Gu Ding had already defeated three gatekeepers who had challenged him among more than ten thousand challengers. No matter who challenged who, the results of the challenge would be recorded. Therefore, Gu Ding did not have to challenge the three gatekeepers again. Instead, he gained permission to go to the next level.

Under the guidance of the gatekeepers, Gu Ding passed through the space passageway between the two levels. From the first level, he went down to the second level of Purgatory Gate.

He had expected people to pay attention to him. Therefore, when a group of people looked at him, he was able to look straight ahead and walk out of the arena.

"This kid is Gu Ding, isn't he?" someone asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's him. Wasn't the news that he was imprisoned in Purgatory Gate more than ten days ago? He even claimed that he would break out of Purgatory Gate within three years. I've seen the video. That's his face. "Someone immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"What an arrogant kid. No one has ever successfully broken out of Purgatory Gate. Legend has it that the powerhouse on the eighteenth level was imprisoned for hundreds of eras and never managed to break out. How dare a Lower Rank deity talk big like that. " Obviously, the news of someone breaking out of Purgatory Gate had been blocked by the Warden and the three gatekeepers. Even the eighteen gatekeepers did not know about it, let alone these prisoners.

"The Federal Government flatters him like that because they don't know how strong he really is."

Most people in Purgatory Gate knew about Gu Ding's reputation. However, most people did not think much of him. They thought that he was a paper tiger that the Federal Government had deliberately put up and that the Federal Government had imprisoned him in Purgatory Gate to deter other Interstellar Pirates.

After all, most of the people who entered Purgatory Gates were arrogant and unruly people. Before they entered Purgatory Gates, they had made a name for themselves in the Cosmic Sea. Some of them even had higher bounties than Gu Ding. On top of that, Gu Ding's cultivation level was only that of a Lower 1-Star Deity before he was imprisoned. On the second level of Hell Gates, most of the prisoners were Medium Deity powerhouses. Therefore, it was normal for them to look down on Gu Ding.

Of course, Gu Ding heard their discussion loud and clear. Not only was he not angry, but he was very happy. Judging from the reactions of these people, there would probably be quite a few people challenging him on the second level. These challengers were the source of Gu Ding's points.

Just as Gu Ding was about to walk out of the arena, a short-haired man with a scar on his face blocked Gu Ding's way. He had a fierce expression on his face, and behind him were more than ten fierce-looking lackeys. If it was in the world of ordinary people, being blocked by such a group of people usually wouldn't be a good thing. Moreover, the person who was blocked could only choose to obediently take out his wallet and spend money to avoid the disaster. However, in the world of cultivation, the fierceness of one's appearance was usually unrelated to one's strength.

Gu Ding also stopped in his tracks and looked at the scar-faced man.

"You're Gu Ding?" Scarface asked with a cold expression.

"That's right. What's the matter?" Gu Ding readily admitted his identity.

"I want to challenge you!" Scarface raised his hand and pointed at Gu Ding with a cool expression on his face.

The group of lackeys behind him all had expressions of admiration on their faces. "Boss is so handsome, 24K's real man!"

"Oh, can't you just press the challenge button on your wristwatch for this kind of thing? Or is there something else you want me to do by blocking my way? "Gu Ding raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No … nothing else." Scarface scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Alright, since you're blocking my way, uncle, do me a favor while you're at it." Gu Ding did not wait for the other party to agree and continued, "Help me advertise and tell everyone that those who want to challenge me should register within eleven days. After eleven days, I'll be there on time. After the challenge is over, I'll head to the third level of Hell Gates. So, if you want to challenge me, please hurry because there won't be a second chance. "

"Uncle?" Scarface's mouth twitched slightly.

"Thank you." Gu Ding said as he brushed past the other party and walked to the front desk to register for the arena challenge. Then, he stepped out of the arena.

Scarface and his group of lackeys stood where they were.

"Boss, Gu Ding left." One of the lackeys poked Scarface with his finger.

Only then did Scarface come back to his senses. He turned his head and asked, "Do I look like an uncle?"

"This …" The lackeys all turned their faces to the sides, not daring to look at their boss directly.

"Kevin, you say it!" Scarface looked at a baby-faced young man.

"Boss, you don't have to make things difficult for me with this kind of thing …" The baby-faced Kevin's face was full of awkwardness. "You should ask Uncle Bruce."

"Bruce, you say it!" Scarface still did not seem to realize what his refusal meant.

"Boss, for a man, his face isn't important," Bruce said very seriously.

"Then what's important?" Scarface still did not understand the other party's intention and continued to ask.

"The body is important, boss. With your body, you're practically a fighter jet among men." Bruce saw that although his words did not make his boss understand what he meant, it was not bad that he had successfully changed the topic.

"Of course!" Scarface looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He tore off his shirt, revealing his muscles, and even struck a few bodybuilding poses. "I, Barete, am the man with the best body in the entire Purgatory Gate!"

After he showed off for a few minutes, one of them could not help but ask in a low voice, "Boss, that … Gu Ding asked us for a favor, should we help him?"

"What did he say just now? Kevin, let me test your memory. Repeat what he said. " After Barete heard the word "uncle", he didn't hear the rest of the conversation.

'It's obvious that I didn't hear it …' Kevin cursed in his heart, but he obediently repeated what Gu Ding said without missing a word.

"Are you sure he said the word 'thank you'?" Barete looked like he was in a difficult position.

"I'm sure, I'm sure!" Kevin nodded very seriously.

"Alright, then we'll take this job." Barete was silent for a moment, but in the end, he chose to nod.

"But boss, aren't you unhappy with that kid? Why should we help him? "Kevin could not help but ask.

"Because he said thank you. It would be very impolite not to accept it." Barete gave a reason that made everyone speechless, but his expression was serious. His lackeys knew that when he showed such an expression, it meant that he was serious.

"Alright then …" Kevin felt that he might as well not ask this question. This answer was more troubling than not having an answer at all.

…

Outside the arena, Neptune heard the conversation clearly. "That guy actually agreed to help you. That's a little unexpected."

"Looks like that uncle is really a good person." Gu Ding grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth.

"You're a little mistaken about this," Neptune said. Neptune opened his mouth to reveal the relevant information about Barete. "That Scar Face, his name is Barete. He's a violent maniac who lives up to his name. He was imprisoned in the Gates of Purgatory not because he committed a small crime, but because he massacred eight star regions and killed hundreds of members of the Federation's military for revenge. "

"Although he only has the cultivation of a Five-star Medium Deity now, his abilities were already comparable to a One-star Half-Step True God when he was still a Three-star Lower Deity before he was imprisoned here hundreds of years ago. Now, his strength is at least a four-star half-step true god, and he's recognized as the strongest guy in the entire second level of Purgatory Gate. "

"He's also an authentic Goblin Tribesman. This tribe is currently ranked second among the top ten combat tribes in the human Cosmic Sea. Since ancient times, this tribe has provided many strong talents to the Human Camp, and they have a good relationship with the Federation Government. He's also one of the top demons in this era among the Goblin Tribesmen. "

"It's just that he has always been evaluated as a man with muscles in his brain. No matter what, he advocates using violence to solve problems, and brains seem to be completely unnecessary to him. "

"He sounds like an interesting uncle." After listening to Neptune's introduction, Gu Ding gave him a very high evaluation.

"I forgot that you're sometimes the same kind of person as him …" Neptune was a little speechless. It was no wonder that Gu Ding found him interesting, because Gu Ding was not willing to use his brain to solve problems unless it was necessary.

However, Gu Ding was different from him. Gu Ding was actually very smart. Although he was not as smart as people like Reid and Mikko, his IQ was on the high side among ordinary people. When he was in the Federal Basic Military Academy, among the students of the same year, his cultural assessment results were always second only to Reid. As his combat strength was stronger than Reid's, his overall results sometimes even surpassed Reid's.

"I could tell that he was very strong, but I didn't expect him to be the strongest guy in this second level." Gu Ding also judged from his aura that his combat strength should be at the level of a half-step true god, but perhaps because of the influence of his bloodline, he could not accurately judge his combat strength. He could only roughly feel that he was at least a three-star half-step true god, maybe even stronger. "If that's the case, the entire second level should soon know that I accepted the challenge, right? It seems that I can quickly accumulate points again. "

"Then, let's go according to the original plan and go to the outland battlefield to earn points for ten days!"
