Chapter 5

The arena was noisy. When Fang Ping entered, a new battle had just begun.

Through the staff’s introduction, Fang Ping realized that this was a very cruel place.

The arena held deathmatches.

There were also two types of people participating in the competition.

One was a free man, and the other was a slave. The latter’s life was completely in the hands of his master.

There were even professional schools that specialized in nurturing slaves to participate in the arena battles.

Once these slaves’ strength decreased, their master would begin to let them participate in the deathmatch to squeeze out their last value!

In a deathmatch, only the victor could survive!

“The competition begins!”

As the referee gave the order, the two participants in the arena began the competition. This was a deathmatch.

Fang Ping sat in the audience and watched the battle in the arena.

The participants were from two different races.

One was a tauren, and the other was a necromancer.

The tauren was filled with a majestic combat aura. He clenched the big axe in his hand and rushed towards the necromancer opposite him.

He did not want to give the other party a chance to chant and use his skills to quickly end the battle.

The necromancer did not panic at all. As he quickly moved his feet to increase the distance, he began to chant an incantation.

Raising the staff in his hand, the dark elements in the space began to condense, and he was preparing a skill.

This was the first time Fang Ping had seen the combat style of this world’s creatures.

Just as the system had said, there were two types of power: battle aura and magic.

This battle finally ended with the victory of the necromancer.

Although the tauren had found an opportunity to approach the necromancer’s body midway through the competition, the latter had actually mastered a skill similar to short-distance teleportation.

This skill also completely announced the death sentence of the Tauren.

When a heavy soldier could not touch a mage, it was impossible for him to win.

The Undead Death Ray that descended from the sky completely enveloped the Tauren’s entire body. In just a few seconds, only a pile of white bones was left where the Tauren was.

After the competition ended, Fang Ping wanted to take the opportunity to walk around the arena before the next competition began.

He clenched his fists as the scene of the battle kept echoing in his mind.

Without a doubt, any one of the two people fighting in the arena could easily kill him.

“I’m still too weak. I have to think of a way to quickly become stronger! Only then can I have enough ability to protect myself in this world!”

Unknowingly, Fang Ping had arrived at the center of the arena where the battle had just taken place.

As he walked, Fang Ping’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“Hmm?”

He looked in the direction where the tauren had fallen.

Although the tauren’s corpse had already been pulled away, a transparent phantom was actually floating where the corpse was just now.

On a closer look, it was the bull-headed man from before.

“Is this the soul left behind by the tauren after his death? Looks like he’s very unwilling to accept his defeat, which is why he’s trapped here!”

At the same time, Fang Ping discovered that his heart was instinctively restless. He subconsciously raised his hand and aimed it at the tauren’s soul first.

“Soul Devouring Spell, activate! Let me help you relieve your pain!”

Fang Ping muttered in his heart, and a black light appeared in his palm.

With a whoosh, the tauren’s soul had already been sucked into Fang Ping’s body.

His soul transformed into pure energy to strengthen Fang Ping’s body.

Opening the system interface, the experience bar progress from level ten to level eleven increased by about ten percent!

Although the increase was very small compared to the system reward, Fang Ping was instantly overjoyed.

“So the Soul Devouring Spell doesn’t only devour the souls of undead creatures. I can even absorb the remains left behind by ordinary creatures!”

Thinking of this, Fang Ping decided to stay and watch a few more competitions to strive to encounter a few more deathmatches.

Perhaps he could rely on the Soul Devouring Spell to advance to level 11 today!

After leaving the arena, Fang Ping walked to the backstage lounge of the arena.

He originally wanted to try his luck here and see if he could encounter that undead mage just now.

However, the other party seemed to have already left the arena.

There was only a giant covered in wounds in the lounge. His appearance was tragic.

Fang Ping asked the staff outside the door and learned that this giant had just finished a deathmatch. It was a competition held in another venue.

In the end, the staff shook his head regretfully.

“That guy has fought several matches here. Although he persisted the first few times, I’m afraid he won’t be able to last with his injuries this time!”

Although Fang Ping pitied this giant a little, he did not intend to interfere.

In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, life was the least valuable. Even if he wanted to care about these things, he did not have the ability.

However, just as Fang Ping was about to leave the lounge, his gaze swept past the giant and immediately returned.

A weak blue light was enveloping the giant’s body.

“It’s a system notification! Level two investment potential!”

Fang Ping immediately understood the meaning of the blue light.

“Detected the existence of a level two investment potential target. Mission: Help the target survive.

“You can obtain a large number of rewards after completing the mission. Host, please decide if you want to invest this time.”

If Fang Ping had not encountered Kallen previously, he might have hesitated.

But now, he had made a decision without hesitation.

“I invest!”

The giant who was facing death was filled with despair. He knew his physical condition very well.

He could no longer withstand the serious injuries this time. At most, he would die under the torture of the injuries in three days.

“Hey, do you need my help? I might have a way to let you survive!”

Fang Ping’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear. The giant immediately looked over.

However, when he discovered that the person who spoke was only a low level undead creature, his eyes were filled with disappointment.

If it were any other time, he might have already attacked Fang Ping for teasing him.

“Get lost. If you don’t leave now, I’ll send you on your way to reincarnation!”

Fang Ping did not care about the giant’s attitude. Instead, he directly took out the medicinal box Kallen had given him previously.

The moment he opened the box and smelled the medicinal fragrance, the giant’s huge body suddenly trembled.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the box in Fang Ping’s hand.

“This, this is… This is the life-saving divine medicine of the vampire royal family!”

“How could you have such a thing?!”

“Could it be that you’re from the royal family?”

Thinking of this, the giant endured the intense pain in his body and trembled as he bowed to Fang Ping!

The giant said in fear and trepidation, “Please forgive me for offending you just now.”

“Now, do you still think I’m a scammer?” Fang Ping said calmly.
