Chapter 2238 Earthson

Chapter 2238 Earthson

Pearl was in the second Arena, one floor above the other one. He sat in one of the seats, waiting for his turn.

Since there were 8 arenas in total, they were separated in weird ways.

Fighters in the Immortal Ascendant realm were made to fight in the first arena. In the 2nd arena, those with a cultivation base lower than Immortal Origin 5th realm fought. The rest of those in the same realm fought on the 3rd floor.

The 4th and 5th arenas were for people in the early and late Immortal Transcendent realm. Then, the 6th and 7th floors were for people in the early and late Immortal Spirit realm.

Finally, the 8th floor's Arena was for anyone who made it past the other arenas, so technically anyone could fight there, but it was almost always just people from the 7th arena who beat others that got to fight there.

From what Pearl had heard, these fights were set in advance, and people came specifically for them.

Pearl had been fighting for a week now, although he had taken off 3 days in the middle to go back to cultivate, so he had technically fought for just 4 days.

In terms of the number of fights, he had fought about 8 so far. In the 2nd arena, there were only 4 battles that took place at once, so he had to wait much longer in between each fight.

Still, he had managed to fight 5 people until now, and soon it was going to be his sixth. Pearl's enemies until now had been people in the Immortal Origin 1st and 2nd realms, but soon that would grow. He looked at his medallion and saw the 2300 Immortal Spirit stones he had managed to earn since his return just yesterday in 2 fights.

Before that, it had taken him over 3 days to earn 5000 Immortal spirit stones. The 2nd arena was so much better when it came to earning, especially when people bet on him.

The fox walked up to him in his human appearance and sat next to him. "Your next opponent is likely going to be someone in the Immortal Origin 4th realm," he said. "What do you think? Can you beat him?"

"4th realm?" Pearl asked with a frown. "Shouldn't it be someone in the 3rd realm since I only managed to beat the 2nd realm?"

"Yes, but you made it look too easy. You don't even use many techniques when you fight, just punches and kicks. The organizers are catching onto the fact that you are stronger than you look, so they are going to make you lose soon. It's good for business on their end."

"But I won't lose," Pearl said. The fox gave a wicked smile. "Honestly, I don't want you to lose," he said, running his fingers through his soft white hair as he flipped it backward and let it fall around him. "Honestly, I think you should win if you can."

"Whitepearl, beware," the man said. "I, Earthson, shall best you finally."

Pearl smiled. "I won't let that happen so easily."

The fight started and the man named Earthson slammed his hammer on the ground. Immediately, the ground shook, shooting up rock spikes all around. At the same time, Pearl sensed his body growing heavy as the ground below him dragged him down with a much-increased gravity.

Pearl jumped, getting barely out of the way of the spikes that grew out and punched. Four spears made of Metal energy formed around him at the same time and flew toward the small man.

The man quickly struck back with his hammer, surprised to find how strong Pearl's attacks were. Even with his Battle Power of 1, he had barely managed to stop it.

'A Battle Power of 5,' the man thought, his face a look of astonishment at realizing just how talented Pearl was. 'He is strong. I will need to be careful.'

Pearl landed next to one of the spikes and kicked it at the base to free it. He then started tossing the spike right back at the man.

The man slammed his hammer, pulling up rows of walls that stopped the attacks. Pearl dashed forward and directly punched the walls, breaking them all.

To his surprise, when he broke through the walls, the man wasn't there. He was nowhere within his senses at all. The man had just disappeared.

He looked up and around, but the man wasn't hiding there at all.

'That means...'

He jumped right before the man appeared from the ground, his hammer missing Pearl's leg by just bare inches.

Pearl landed in the distance, smiling slightly. 'I would've been hurt had that hit me,' he thought. There was a dao attached to that hammer when he attacked. It was much stronger than a regular attack at that point. 'Good thing I know what Whisker can do with walls.'

The man had used some sort of movement technique that allowed him to travel underground. It was a nifty trick to catch him unaware, but Pearl had thankfully caught onto it right before.

"You are good," the man said. "This might be tougher than I thought."
