Chapter 575

Early the next morning, the sky above Purgatory Gate was clear blue.

In fact, the interior of Purgatory Gate was similar to the environment of many administrative planets. It had distinct seasons and climates. There would be thunderstorms and heavy snowfalls, but most of the time, it was sunny.

This kind of climate change would not have any effect on the prisoners or the guardians of the law. When one reached Deity Level, everyone had a physique that was immune to heat and cold. Only extreme heat and cold would affect their movements.

These climate and seasonal changes were actually to occasionally adjust everyone's mood so that they would not feel bored seeing the same sky every day.

Excluding the time he spent in the Outland, Gu Ding had spent less than ten days in Purgatory Gate. During these days, the weather he saw every day was the same — a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The sun was just right, and when it shone on his body, he felt a comfortable warmth.

Gu Ding had always liked sunny days. No matter how glaring and hot the summer sun was, he was never willing to hide in the shade of the forest to enjoy the pleasant coolness.

Squinting slightly at the star-like light source in the sky, Gu Ding could not help but ask, "Neptune, are the stars in this world simulated?"

"No, I've checked it out. It's a real star. This Purgatory Gate is at least a Heavenly God-Level space tool. It can even suppress tenth-rank True God Strongest Kings, so it's not surprising that it can be used to torture stars. "Gu Ding was shocked by Neptune's answer.

As the two talked, they soon arrived at the location of the Arena.

The periphery of the arena was already packed with people.

"It seems that everyone knows that you've arrived at the second level. The number of people who came to watch the battle is more than the first level."

Neptune roughly scanned the number of people. The total number of people inside and outside the Arena had exceeded two hundred thousand.

"The more the better …" Gu Ding's smile seemed to have a hidden meaning.

A terrifying half-step True God aura was released and surged out like a tide. Gu Ding's existence was immediately noticed by many people who wanted to watch the battle, and many people's eyes were filled with horror.

He stepped forward step by step, and everyone within a hundred meters of him moved out of his way. Occasionally, there were people who could not dodge in time and were forced to sit on the ground by the aura, unable to stand up again.

Step by step, Gu Ding calmly walked into the arena. There was nowhere to hide in the arena, and his appearance caused a commotion. He was like a king who had descended into the mortal world. With a single step, everyone fell to the ground.

Those people were not sincerely submitting to him, but they were suppressed to the ground by his pressure.

From the entrance of the arena to Ring 1, Gu Ding took ten steps. Wherever it passed, no one within a hundred-meter radius could remain standing.

When he stepped onto the stage, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared, and his aura became as weak as an ordinary person. However, this action caused many experts who were outside the range of his pressure to feel even more fearful.

"So powerful!"

This was everyone's first evaluation after seeing this scene.

Originally, many people on the second level of Purgatory Gate looked down on Gu Ding, thinking that he was just a nobody. However, now that Gu Ding had shown them what he was capable of, many people knew that Gu Ding's strength was quite terrifying.

Many of the people who had come to watch Gu Ding get beaten up by Barete were now unsure of the outcome of this battle.

In the ring, Gu Ding's expression showed no signs of nervousness and unease before the battle. He was so calm as if he was very sure of the outcome of the battle. His gaze swept across the crowd below the ring. Those who had planned to watch Gu Ding make a fool of himself avoided Gu Ding's gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.

In the ring, the black-armored keeper referee was also quite surprised. "This Gu Ding seems to be more powerful than the rumors say."

Naturally, the warden, the three keeper commanders, and the two seventeenth level's Strongest Kings were watching this battle.

As prisoners of the seventeenth floor, Basaka and Lotham enjoyed many privileges in the Purgatory Gate. Watching the arena matches on other floors was just one of them.

In fact, with their strength, as long as they were willing to sign a cooperation agreement with the Federal Government that had almost no restrictive terms, they could leave Purgatory Gate at any time and regain their freedom. This was because the two of them were the top combat power in the Human Camp.

In an office hall on the first level of Purgatory Gate, Victoria held a glass of red wine in one hand as she watched a video projection.

In the projection, Gu Ding stood proudly in the ring with a calm expression on his face.

As the Warden, Victoria knew what Barete was up to. The corners of her scarlet lips curled up slightly as she stared at Barete's projection. "Without a thousand consecutive wins, you will lose more than four hundred thousand points. Will you give up just like that? Little Gu Ding … "

In the arena on the second level of Purgatory Gate, the system finally selected the challenger.

[Challenger: Barete]

Since he was the only one who chose to challenge, the system had no other choice.

After the challenger's name appeared, the crowd below the ring became more and more excited.

However, as time ticked by, Barete, who was the challenger, did not appear. Sounds of discussion could be heard from the crowd.

"Why isn't Barete here yet? He couldn't have overslept, could he? "

"You don't know about this. That guy, Barete, has always waited until the challenge time is up. He will never appear before the challenge time is up. That guy also has a famous saying, 'The experts are always the last to appear'. "

As expected, when the challenge time was up, a figure finally appeared slowly at the entrance.

"Yo, sorry to keep everyone waiting." The person who came was the scar-faced Barete. Although he said that, there was not a hint of embarrassment on his face. It was obvious that he had come late on purpose.

His treatment was completely different from Gu Ding's. Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically dispersed. It was enough to show that he had accumulated power on the second level of Purgatory Gate for a long time.

Barete strode up the ring and was about to say something to keep up appearances, but he did not expect Gu Ding to speak first.

"Uncle, don't you think that with our strength and so many people watching the match, we'll only get two points in the end? Even if we win, we'll only get two points in the end. Isn't that a little too cheap? " Gu Ding's voice clearly passed into the ears of everyone present and those who were watching the video projection.

"Hearing you say that, I do feel that way." Barete was stunned at first, but immediately nodded in agreement.

"Since uncle thinks so too, I suggest we play something big. I wonder if uncle has the guts to follow?" Gu Ding knew that for a man like Barete who only had muscles in his head, the words "dare or not" were like a cat's tail. Whoever stepped on it would get angry.

"If a brat like you dares, why wouldn't I, Barete, dare? No matter how you want to play, I'll accompany you to the end! "Barete crossed his arms and said confidently.

Below the ring, Bruce and the others looked bitter. Of course, they knew that Gu Ding was digging a hole for their boss, and Barete had already jumped into it. The rest was waiting to see how Gu Ding planned to bury it.

"My suggestion is very simple. I have more than four hundred and seventy thousand points. I'll only keep a fraction and bet four hundred and seventy thousand on myself. If I lose, all four hundred and seventy thousand points will belong to you. "Gu Ding said and looked at Barete." But uncle, what are you going to use to follow? "

"Isn't it just four hundred and seventy thousand points? I'll bet one million on myself to win! If I lose, all one million will belong to you. But if you lose, in addition to the four hundred and seventy thousand points, I want you to be my lackey! The time limit is a hundred years. You have to massage my legs and pour tea for me every day. You have to listen to everything I say, and you can't say no! "Barete was obviously very confident in himself.

Gu Ding's heart was blooming with joy. He originally thought that with a capital of four hundred and seventy thousand points, the other party would at most give him four hundred and seventy thousand points. He did not expect the other party to give him one million points.

Neptune had checked earlier. This Barete had been on the second level of Purgatory Gate for hundreds of years and had been to the Outland countless times. Even if he used up his points frequently, he still had more than one million and two hundred thousand points left. Therefore, there was no need to worry that the fellow would go back on his words.

"Sure. Referee, please be a witness." Gu Ding agreed without batting an eyelid. He turned his head and said to the referee.

"Purgatory Gate does not prohibit wagered battles. I'll record the contents of your wagered battle. If either party does not abide by the terms of the bet, we, the keepers of the law, will intervene. " The referee nodded and projected a page. "Since both parties have agreed, now put your handprints on the wagered battle page."

Both of them walked over and put their handprints on the page.

"The wagered battle contract has been established. You may begin the match." The referee kept the contract and nodded at both of them.

Barete still did not make a move. Instead, he arrogantly said something that he had thought of for a long time to keep up appearances. "You're a junior, so I'll let you have three moves first! I don't want people to say that I'm bullying a child when I win, and that it's an unfair advantage. "

When he said this, he even pretended to have a cold expression on his face, as if he was very arrogant.

"Are you sure? Let me have three moves first. You'll lose miserably, "Gu Ding said bluntly. In reality, Barete was not weak. Gu Ding did not intend to use his killer move to crush his opponent's confidence. However, since the other party had said so, it was obvious that he did not respect his opponent. Gu Ding did not plan to hold back.

"Of course. I, Barete, always keep my word."

"Alright." Gu Ding did not intend to waste his breath on the other party. He stretched out his hand and a space crack opened in his palm. A thumb-sized silver crystal bead slowly rose from the crack.

The crystal bead was a star that Gu Ding had condensed using the platinum skull earlier …
