Chapter 808: The First Battle
Of course, it's a coveted opportunity.
Indeed, while many enter the "Slaughter Field," not many actually step into battle.
After all, every battle wagered "Slaughter Points," and without confidence, no one would easily choose to fight.
But now, seeing Ye Chen's information appearing in the "Slaughter Token," many people's eyes instantly lit up.
A Lower God King with zero wins and zero losses.
This situation clearly indicated someone who had just exchanged for a "Slaughter Token" and come to the Slaughter Field for the first time.
Such a person was, of course, the easiest to deal with!
Unlike those who frequently battle in the Slaughter Field, who are very cunning.
Although it is known that anyone who can come here must have the combat power of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable,
For a Lower God King to possess the combat power of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable was indeed surprising.
Moreover, many people in the arena had also heard of Ye Chen's name and deeds.
But what of it?
Those who entered the "Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable Slaughter Field," didn't each of them possess the power of a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable?
Ye Chen's reputation could intimidate some True Gods, Divine Kings, and some ordinary Earth Divine Venerables, but it definitely couldn't scare them.
In fact, many who knew of Ye Chen's identity harbored the thought of giving this youth, who became renowned upon arrival at the Supreme Divine Institute, a good lesson.
Therefore, there was an overwhelming number of people challenging Ye Chen.
Ye Chen watched the "Slaughter Token" vibrating continuously and emitting Divine Light, and he could not help but smile wryly.
Within the "Slaughter Token," there were two types of information: one was the information of martial artists challenging him, and the other was information of other martial artists in the "Slaughter Field" whom he could choose to challenge.
Ye Chen decided to pick an opponent from these challengers first.
However, upon seeing the "Slaughter Points" wagered by these challengers, Ye Chen was astonished.
He had a total of one hundred and twenty thousand Slaughter Points, and the majority of the hundreds challenging him were betting all one hundred and twenty thousand Slaughter Points in one go.
Did these people want to win all his Slaughter Points in one fell swoop?
Were they really that confident in defeating him?
Ye Chen shook his head and chuckled.
He didn't care about how many Slaughter Points were wagered; Ye Chen was more concerned about the strength of these challengers.
Unexpectedly, although the number of challengers had increased to over eight hundred in a short while, the one with the highest win rate among them was a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable named Hong Tu.
This person had won over a thousand battles, but had also lost over nine hundred, leaving a net total of only over two hundred victories, which clearly indicated he was not a particularly formidable character.
And the win rates of the others were even worse.
This made Ye Chen shake his head helplessly.
Obviously, being a novice in the Slaughter Field meant that those attracted to challenge him were all bottom-dwellers within the arena.
Real powerhouses, such as Beiling Xiaoxiao, who ranked in the top one hundred for victories in the Slaughter Field, would disdain to challenge him.
Even Beiling Xiaoxiao had set a basic requirement for those who wanted to challenge her: to hold at least one hundred million Slaughter Points in their possession!
And this was just a basic condition; even with one hundred million Slaughter Points, it was not guaranteed she would accept the challenge.
If Ye Chen wanted to challenge a figure like Beiling Xiaoxiao, with his current reputation and the Slaughter Points he held in the Slaughter Field, he was far from qualified.
"It seems I need to build up my reputation first."
"Only by proving my strength will stronger experts challenge me! That way I can accumulate my Slaughter Points faster and choose to challenge better opponents actively."
"Since that's the case, let's pick this one..."
Ye Chen's Divine Sense surged out, rushing towards the challenge information in the "Slaughter Token," and eventually, he accepted the challenge from the strongest challenger, Hong Tu.
Hong Tu was a sturdy-looking Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable.
The spectator area where he was seated was also filled with people, all of whom were roughly as powerful as Hong Tu.
Almost all of these people also challenged Ye Chen.
Once they issued a challenge, their gaze was glued to their own Slaughter Token, eager to see if they would be chosen by Ye Chen.
When they saw Ye Chen choose to fight with Hong Tu, and their battle was queued up in the waiting line for the combat arena, all these people let out sounds of immense regret.
"What a pity, Brother Hong Tu has hit the jackpot. That Lower God King Ye Chen, has actually chosen to fight with Brother Hong Tu!"
"Now, all of Ye Chen's 120,000 Slaughter Points will belong to Brother Hong Tu!"
These people sighed, feeling regretful that Ye Chen hadn't chosen them.
In their eyes, a rookie like Ye Chen who was visiting the Slaughter Field for the first time was simply there to give away Slaughter Points, such a pity they missed the chance to make an easy fortune.
At this moment, "Hong Tu," the Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable selected by Ye Chen for a slaughter battle, was laughing heartily, brimming with pride.
"Your achievements are not as good as mine, that's why you weren't caught in Ye Chen's eyes."
"I actually thought that little lad didn't dare to pick me, but it turns out he does have some guts."
Hearing what Hong Tu said, the others were even more disgruntled: "Ye Chen sure is arrogant but useless, looking down on us? Which one of us hasn't won hundreds of battles in the Slaughter Field?"
"Brother Hong Tu, you too have fought many times as a Lower Heavenly Divine Venerable. If you can't take down this Junior God King within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, you'll be disgracing yourself."
Hong Tu lifted his head: "The time of an incense stick? That's underestimating me too much. Although this Junior God King has exceptional combat power beyond his realm, he is after all a rookie here at the Slaughter Field. Just wait and see, I'll defeat this Junior God King within ten moves!"
As he spoke, Hong Tu was already warming up his fists and palms, eager for the fight.
Ye Chen was unaware that his selection had sparked such disdain and regret among many others.
At this time, while observing battles on various Slaughter Arenas, he also awaited the start of his own fight.
A battle at the center of the several hundred Slaughter Arenas directly captured Ye Chen's attention.
Being assigned to fight at the central Slaughter Arena clearly indicated the strength of the two combatants.
And when Ye Chen looked at the battle information of the two fighters through the "Slaughter Token," he was even more taken aback.
The two people currently fighting in the central Slaughter Arena were indeed ranked among the top hundred in win rate throughout the entire Slaughter Field.
It was a battle between the twenty-third and the twenty-fifth ranked combatants.
Furthermore, the Slaughter Points at stake in this battle also shocked Ye Chen, as the two had bet a staggering 10 million Slaughter Points on this fight!
10 million Slaughter Points.
That's nearly a hundred times more than all the Slaughter Points Ye Chen currently possessed!
Just these Slaughter Points alone would probably require the completion of dozens of level five missions to exchange for.
Of course, while these Slaughter Points seemed like a lot to Ye Chen, they weren't much for the two fighting.
Being ranked within the top thirty in win rate, these two had obviously won many battles and many Slaughter Points in the field, and Ye Chen noticed that the remaining Slaughter Points behind both their names were still in the hundreds of millions!
"Comparing with others can be infuriating."
"If I accumulated hundreds of millions of Slaughter Points, I reckon with those exchanged into Mission Merit Points, I could definitely trade for many precious Pill Divine Weapons or even Mysterious Heavenly Divine Arts outside!"
The battle of these two combatants also greatly impressed Ye Chen.
As expected of individuals who were ranked within the top thirty in win rate, observing just their fighting skills and Skill and Divine Skills gave Ye Chen many insights.
However, the battle was extremely tense, and before Ye Chen could finish watching, over a hundred battles had concluded across the other Slaughter Arenas, and finally, it was his turn to enter the arena.
Ye Chen immediately leaped into action and flew towards Slaughter Arena number five hundred and sixty-four located on the periphery of the field, as designated to him.
"Haha, it's my turn to compete!"
"Watch me take down this fight in ten moves!"
On the other side, after laughing heartily next to the people around him, Hong Tu also flew out from the Spectator Platform towards Slaughter Arena number five hundred and sixty-four.
In an instant, both of them were standing ready on the Slaughter Arena.
