“Mister Hunter.” Although Xu Mo had changed his attire, he still wore the same mask, so the female receptionist immediately recognized him. She then politely guided him. “Please come over here.”

“Can you give her a set of clothes? I can purchase it.” Xu Mo pointed to Bai Wei who followed behind him.

“Mister Hunter, please wait a moment.” The receptionist left for a short while before bringing back a set of clothes for Bai Wei. She then looked at Xu Mo. “Being able to provide aid for Mister Hunter is my honor. There’s no need for any charge.”

“Many thanks.” Xu Mo thanked her but felt a little strange. The service here was so good, but this place could lure you to your death. After all, there was almost a 50% chance of death if one went up in the fighting arena.

“Mister Hunter, do you want to participate in a fight? I can arrange things for you. Naturally, the opponent selected has to be met with your approval,” asked the female receptionist.

“Currently, I don’t want to passively accept any challenges,” said Xu Mo, causing the receptionist to start a little. But even so, she still nodded politely. “Sure.”

As a newbie, for the sake of safety, it was very normal for them not to accept challenges. They would first observe an opponent, but for the sake of face, no one would say this out loud directly. At most, they would simply reject the challenge if the opponent was someone with a high win streak.

“Can I take a look around here?” Xu Mo asked again. Since Lane had appeared here, could the other thugs also be here?

“Mister Hunter, please feel free to do so.” The receptionist smiled and nodded.

“Thanks.” Xu Mo went to the resting area ahead.

There were several people seated here.

It was the same as the gambling den. The fighting arena didn’t lack gamblers. However, things were crueler here as one would use their lives as their stake.

As Xu Mo sat there, he sensed someone looking at him. He then glanced over and saw a muscular dude that was even burlier than Saar looking at him. Even by sitting, this guy was taller than him, and he looked like a giant. Upon seeing Xu Mo looking over, the man couldn’t help but grin. He stretched out a large palm and gestured a grab toward Xu Mo, as though he wanted to directly crush Xu Mo’s head.

“I can simply crush someone like you to death with a single hand. Why are you courting death by coming here?” The giant stared at Xu Mo. “You should quickly return. Wouldn’t it be satisfying to hug the girl behind you and roll around in bed instead?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei’s expression changed and she lowered her head. She was truly not used to such an atmosphere. She felt like a lamb wandering around a pack of wolves.

“How many of those who come here aren’t courting death?” Xu Mo asked as he looked at the giant.

The giant started before he laughed uproariously. “What you say is logical. In the long run, those who are here have a 90% chance of dying. From how you talk, I don’t think you are very old. In addition, you have a beautiful girl following you. You should stop after you’ve earned enough. Why is there a need to get entangled by greed?”

“Everyone has a fluke mentality; they would always feel they could still win one more round,” answered Xu Mo. Hearing this, the giant was stunned and stared at Xu Mo. “Little fellow, you are very interesting. If this place was the outside world, we could become friends. My name is A`Tai, what’s yours?”

“Hunter.” Xu Mo then asked, “Why don’t you stop after winning?”

“I wish to earn more money. I have a very cute daughter, and I wish to send her to the world above.” A`Tai looked at Xu Mo and said, “This Subterranean World is a place where humans ‘eat’ humans. I don’t want her to be here forever. I want her to see what the Surface World really looks like.”

When A`Tai spoke about his daughter, a simple-minded smile appeared on his face.

“How many federal coins do you need to go up?” Xu Mo sighed. Not long ago, he just saw someone selling their daughter for money. Yet in the fighting arena, he actually found someone fighting with their life on the line for their daughter.

“I don’t know. I heard that the price of a pass is in the millions.” A`Tai then continued, “I don’t know if I can live long enough to earn so much. I’ll just work as hard as I can. If I cannot, I will just give up. Actually, our lives have turned for the better now.”

“In the millions!” Xu Mo was somewhat shocked. Even if the appearance fee for every fight was 10,000 federal coins, one had to fight 100 rounds before they could earn so much. Who could then guarantee they wouldn’t die in one of those rounds?

From A`Tai’s tone, he was actually harboring thoughts of quitting. However, he kept feeling that luck was on his side and he wanted to win a few more matches.

This was the general psychology of the gamblers. Until the point where they lost everything…they wouldn’t see clearly.

“Mister A`Tai, it’s your turn.” At this moment, a person walked over to inform him.

A`Tai then looked at Xu Mo and laughed. “Later, we should fight. I won’t kill you if I win, but if you lose, I want you to go back home and never return here.”

“Sure, the same goes for you too.” Xu Mo nodded.

“It’s a promise then.” A`Tai smiled and walked out of the backstage.

Xu Mo stared outside. Through the glass, he could see the scene in the fighting arena.

A`Tai put on a suit of armor before he headed up. His opponent hid half of his face with a mask and wielded twin blades as his weapon.

Despite the glass door blocking him, Xu Mo could still hear the thunderous ear-splitting roars and heavy metal music outside. They were so loud that he faintly felt a sense of shock.

“How’s the strength of A`Tai and his opponent?” Xu Mo asked the female attendant beside him.

“Mister A`Tai already has seven consecutive victories. He has herculean strength and is very powerful. However, his opponent is very powerful as well. His opponent similarly has won seven consecutive victories, and his blade arts are extremely quick. His nickname is Bonescrapper,” introduced the female attendant.

Xu Mo didn’t say too much. He focused on the fight instead.

“It has begun.”

A`Tai was roughly two meters tall, and he appeared like a mountain when standing there. Bonescrapper was circling around him while holding his twin blades tightly. All of a sudden, Bonescrapper rushed toward A`Tai, and streams of blade light flashed. Bonescrapper was extremely quick, be it his attack or his footwork.

The two of them separated the moment they clashed, and Bonescrapper’s body was sent flying from the impact. However, his footwork was very sleek, and he also managed to leave an injury on A`Tai’s body. Right now, A`Tai’s blood dripped onto the ground. The suit of armor he was wearing couldn’t protect all parts of his body.

Upon seeing blood, the audience grew even more crazed. A`Tai didn’t check his wound. He only took large strides toward Bonescrapper, wanting to end the fight fast because he knew he shouldn’t fight a battle of attrition.

Bonescrapper also understood this point, so he didn’t clash head-on with A`Tai, choosing to circle around him and launching attacks occasionally.

“Oh no.” Xu Mo silently mused. A`Tai would lose. Bonescrapper’s blade technique was very quick, and he would find an opportunity sooner or later.

“Chi…” At this moment, blood splattered around the arena, and A`Tai screamed in misery because a stream of blade light arced past his eyes, directly blinding him. He charged forward haphazardly in pain, but he became a live target without his sight.

Bonescrapper’s twin blades left numerous wounds on A`Tai’s body, causing him to scream in pain as his blood dyed the fighting arena red.

Bai Wei, who was behind Xu Mo, let out a low gasp. She closed her eyes and no longer dared to watch the fight. The scene was too bloody.

However, the bloody scene actually stimulated the nerves of the crowd instead. Their shouts and cheers shook the entire place, and many fighters in the backstage area even stood up so they could see better. Someone then exclaimed in a low voice, “Bonescrapper is starting to scrape the flesh off his opponent’s bones. This b*stard is truly very cruel.”

“We definitely cannot fight against this fellow.”

Even people who participated in the fights were shocked when they saw this.

Xu Mo felt a little unbearable to watch. He turned his head to the attendant. “Can’t you stop this?”

“Mister Hunter, when fighting in the arena, only the two parties themselves can decide when they want to stop,” the attendant replied.

Xu Mo glanced in the direction of the fighting arena again. A`Tai had finally fallen, but his body was still convulsing in pain.

“Help me ask Bonescrapper if he’s willing to proceed directly to the next challenge battle,” said Xu Mo as he stared at the fighting arena.
