The Geared Immortal

1323 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 73

Chapter 1323

…

"If this would not create a problem for him, then how is he even alive until today?" Xin Ja thought as he has learned that Big Rock has been a gladiator for a year now and has been the crowd's favorite for some time already.

As the big guy walks inside the pen, he was greeted by the other gladiators and he proudly walked toward Xin Ja.

"How is my performance?" he said with a proud smile.

"Not bad…" Xin Ja replied showing a calm expression.

"Well, I hope that you also would do really well in the fights. But my advice is not to end the battle quickly."

Xin Ja was about to say such words because he knew that Big Rock could actually end the battle briefly however, he did not which baffle Xin Ja a bit.

Xin Ja frowned and then realized what he meant.

"To entertain the audience?" he asked.

"Haha… Spot on! When I first came to this place, I was a bit scared so I always end the battle quickly. But the audience did not like that. Soon I discover that if I play around for a bit, they would cheer me on and I… would receive an extra…" he said while rubbing his two fingers.

Xin Ja knew that he means money.

It seems that this place is not only for entertainment and gambling is become a source of income for the gladiators too.

Soon, the battle continues and Xin Ja's number was then called.

"808 versus 510!"

"808 versus 510!"

The staff called while looking at the pen.

When a big man with a long and ugly scar on his face stood up, the expression of the staff turned pale.

He knew of this guy 510, just like that 506 who seem unbeatable… this guy is not only unbeatable but also ruthless and vile.

He would always play with his opponent, and those who are lucky would die easily, but those that are unlucky would end up tortured under his hands.

This time the expression of Big Rock turned a bit serious then he whispered to Xin Ja's ears.

"Be careful of that guy… he is a bit sinister. Good luck!" he said while patting Xin Ja's shoulder.

Xin Ja nodded his head and then walked out of the pen.

As his feet touched the hot sand, he could somewhat feel his blood boiling in excitement. He did not know why but he seems to be anticipating something.

The smell of blood and sweat are intermixed making one supposed to feel nauseous. However, in this place of death and battle, he could only feel elation as a small smile crept on his face.

"Are you ready to die, little man…" the scar-faced guy asked with a sneer.

"Well, are you?" Xin Ja asked back.

Upon hearing this, the scar-faced man chortled in laughter as he slowly circled the arena.

However, Xin Ja did not move and just stood there calmly. He even slowly closes his eyes as he held the blade in one hand.

The scar-faced man frowns when he saw this and he slowly approaches. He wanted to play for a while, but the guy in front of him did not show any fear. He even closed his eyes.

For him, it was a bit of an insult so he grinned and a sinister smile appears on his face.

"You've gotten my annoyed… I will flay your skin until you wished you were dead… But I will not you the honor of dying… Hehehe…" he sinisterly threatened.

But Xin Ja did not say anything, he found this scene a bit exciting, but also a bit dull.

The guy's large figure suddenly moved as he pounces on Xin Ja.

With the knife in one hand and with his eyes closed, he parried one attack after another even without moving in his place.

He is expecting the guy to be strong and brutal but what he got is someone who attacks frivolously. The guy has a lot of openings.

This made Xin Ja disappointed.

Suddenly, in his annoyance, he took a step forward, and the figure of the scar-faced man passed behind him with a shocked expression.

The guy tripped on the sand and fell on his face.

He was stunned at what just happened and picked himself up in annoyance.

"You dare mock me!" he shouted in anger as he rushed to attack Xin Ja.

Once again, his attacks were parried by Xin Ja without too much of an effort.

The guy even charges at him to tackle him. But Xin Ja only uses the top of his knife to hit the shield of that guy and he was sent taking two steps back.

This made the scar-faced guy annoyed. He suddenly threw his shield at Xin Ja at the same time lounging an attack on him.

The attacks of the man annoyed him, so he casually slices his blade in the air.

The scar-faced man quickly stopped his attacks.

But before he could do anything, he suddenly froze.

This is because he could feel that something is wrong.

Then a line appears on his neck and blood began to spurt out.

Xin Ja did not even look back as he began walking towards the gate of the pen.

The audience was shocked, the staff was shocked, and the gladiators were all shocked, the arena suddenly turned deafly silent.

The only sound they could hear is the gurgling voice of the man holding into his dear life as he tried his best to stop the blood on his neck from gushing.

He weakly fell to his knees and his body began to convulse. Although he wanted to live, his life is already ebbing away.

All he could remember at this time are the faces of the people he has killed in the arena.

He was a brutal fighter, one of the best fighters in the arena. However, now he would turn into a corpse.

From atop the audience seat, a figure could be seen staring at this scene with a horrified expression on his face.

This figure is that same caretaker Yu who had sold Xin Ja in the slave market.

He decided to place some bets to increase his gains, but instead, he lost half of his money.

He actually betted against Xin Ja. How would he expect the guy he could casually beat up could win such a fight in an outstanding manner.

"This guy… this guy should die…" he muttered but when his eyes landed on the final event a sinister smile appears on his face.

He decided to bet all of his money in the last part to win back his losses. If he does then the elder would not get angry at him, right? He might even get praised for doing such a thing.

While thinking as such, caretaker Yu quickly walked towards the betting stand.

He saw Xin Ja's number and the odds of 5 to 1. This means that if someone bets on Xin Ja they could win 5 times the amount.

It was a bit tempting but he decided that doubling the money is already enough for him.

He then put everything on him at the betting stand.

After that, he returns to his seat.

Meanwhile, there are also those that have seen potential in 808, so they bet on him hoping to get lucky.

The arena cheered not long later as 510 took his last breath.

Xin Ja at this time has already taken his seat.

Soon the battle began again and half of the gladiators are left in the pen.

"Ladies and gentlemen… We are now entering the final event of our gladiator matches. But since today is the birthday of the beloved daughter of our patron from the Jo clan… we will have a special match!" the announcer made everyone become curious.

But of course, those that are in the know did not say anything and just excitedly watches. Meanwhile, those that already know what the special event would have excitedly waited in anticipation.

Will those 2nd-level beasts be able to defeat more than 30 people, or those 30 1st-level Ki-Fighters die miserable deaths? The anticipation is killing them and they could not wait for the event to start.

Standing at the main viewing platform sits a middle-aged man and beside him are some of the clan heads of the town.

On his right side sits a beautiful young woman with a proud look on her pretty face. It was as if she is some goddess looking down on the people below her.

She leaned on the side and then asked her maid-in-waiting.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Mistress, I think that a few of them are promising. Numbers 111, 225, 506, and 808 are particularly excellent when it comes to fighting." The maid-in-waiting replied.

"Hmm… I pity that 808, he looks handsome out of the entire gladiators in here. However, he does not have Ki fluctuation in his body. This only means that his dantian is broken…" the young miss said.

"It seems that my daughter has a favorite fighter…" the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"We shall see father… We shall see…" she replied with a smile as she handed her maid a couple of money.

The maid left and a slight smile appears on the young woman's face.

"You better be worth it… or else…"
