1478 The Last Phase
Tang Shaoyang did not ask Ira what would happen if he died in this trial. Was it the same with the Demi-God Trial where they would be resurrected and sent back to their world? Or it was death, death. He did not know that, but it would be silly to die in the tournament and fail the trial instead of dying from attempting the trial itself.
He furrowed his brow as he realized something. There was a sudden surge in the participants. At the same time, there was also a tournament. A very tempting tournament for the participants to join. It felt like the tournament organizer tried to reduce the number of the trial's participants. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
'This is indeed suspicious.' Vandir who tried to persuade Tang Shaoyang to join the tournament also agreed that the tournament was suspicious.
The arena was getting more crowded, and he slowly understood the format of the tournament. It was similar to a gladiator fight. One has to achieve ten wins to proceed to the main arena. The football stadium-size arena was where the main tournament took place. It would be held a day later after a hundred participants with ten wins came out.
Tang Shaoyang's suspicion came true as more participants died. There was a silly fight, a mage-oriented class against someone with a close-combat class. He thought the latter would win, but the mage won with just a single spell. The mage blasted his opponent's head.
A loud cheer resounded when someone died. It caused the arena to shake a little bit from the cheer. Someone even laughed, happy that someone died. He understood as to why they were happy as that meant it was one less competitor. But that was just sickening that someone would laugh. He would kill people, but he would not laugh at the people he killed.
After the thirteenth match was over, Tang Shaoyang headed out. He thought of visiting the restaurant recommended by the barkeeper. The time-killing plan until the trial started was to try all kinds of foods in this city and watch the tournament. That was the plan for two days.
'Should I be worried about myself that I don't mind eating after watching the gory match?' That was what he thought on the way to the restaurant. Even after witnessing the flesh and blood in the arena, he still had the appetite to eat. Of course, he did not dwell on those thoughts too much.
The barkeeper recommended him to Calamity Restaurant. It was not just the name, but the restaurant indeed served Calamity's meat. They used Calamity as their ingredients, and that interested him.
Tang Shaoyang came out of the restaurant with a face of full regret. It was an interesting idea to taste the Calamity meat, but it was either the cook was an amateur who could not proceed with the ingredients properly, or maybe it was just not up to his taste.

"You come alone? Where's your party, Mr, Tang?" Castor did not care about the lukewarm response and asked with a smile.
It was hard not to be polite to someone who was polite. But it was a different case, and he did not know why. But for some reason, he felt repulsive to Castor. There was something that caused that, not because Castor was rude in their first meeting. It was just there was something that made him dislike Castor. He did not know why.
"I don't have a party." He replied shortly.
"What? How can? Is there no one inviting you to the party?" Castor asked with his pleasant voice, "How can no one invite a strong participant like you?"
"Don't know." Tang Shaoyang did not plan to form a party, but now that Castor reminded him. He indeed did not receive an invitation to a party anymore. Not that he wanted to be invited to a party, but now he knew why. He let out a chuckle and shook his head.
For the first time, he turned toward Castor with a smile, "Thank you for your help. It would be a bother for me to reject all those invitations if not for you."
