Liao Ji couldn't answer Ssiutia's question.
All the answers can only be found in the stories of Jiuyou's past.
Liao Ji soon re-entered the arena of Gulasai Base and returned to the fork where the last decision in "Dragon Dream" took place.
In this final with Jiuyou's mother, Liao Ji deliberately lost to Tang, and Tang became the gladiator champion of this arena.
Sure enough, the fantasy did not collapse like it did at the beginning, and the story continued, proving that this was the correct option and a fact of the past.
Whether it was the much-anticipated championship, her superior strength and superb swordsmanship, or being the first to win the championship as a "female gladiator", Tang had accumulated a large number of spectators and fans, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak. , Liao Ji felt that if we use modern terms, Jiuyou's mother undoubtedly had a huge amount of traffic.
For such a popular gladiator to be born, the officials of the arena are naturally as happy as if they were hit by a golden egg. It is conceivable that the passenger flow of the arena in the future will reach a new peak because of the presence of Jiuyou's mother. , the daily tickets alone are estimated to be sold twice.
The official also intended to build momentum for Tang and push Tang's popularity to a higher level. They held a grand championship ceremony for Tang and gave him a high bonus that was several times higher than the previous ones. This was to motivate Tang, which could be regarded as a change of direction. win over.
Although most gladiators are slaves in the arena, as long as they are strong, can make a name for themselves, and win the love of the audience, as long as a popular gladiator like Tang now has a large audience, the arena officials are not fools, and businessmen will still treat them with peace. For your sake, you even want to please Jiuyou's mother.
Seeing Liao Ji here, it is almost certain that as long as Jiuyou's mother is willing to cooperate, she will basically have food and clothing for her whole life. As long as Gulasai Base is still there, she and Xiao Jiuyou should be able to live a good life. Very moisturizing.
But obviously, Tang chose another path, which was what she had told Liao Ji before that she had to do.
Tang Fei's purpose in winning the championship is not fame and prestige, nor the huge prize money for the champion. Her real purpose is a privilege that the champion can have.
You can put forward a wish for conditions that are "within an acceptable range" to the organizer.
Usually this championship reward looks very nice, but in fact it is just decoration. After all, this range is determined by the organizer. Many champions basically require double the bonus by default. This is an unspoken rule.
But this time, after Tang took the stage, with all the audience watching, as well as many gladiators below, Tang broke the unspoken rule of making a wish and made a strange request to the organizer.
"I hope to get a privilege. I can challenge any gladiator in the arena at any time, and any gladiator challenged by me...cannot refuse."
The draconic female on the stage said with calm eyes.
Tang's request surprised everyone, including the organizer. What followed was a bit unclear. What on earth was Tang going to do by wasting such a precious opportunity?
From the organizer's point of view, the first thing they thought of was that if Tang was willing to play more games, it would definitely be a great thing for the arena. It was too late for them to have fun, so how could they refuse.
Tang's request was soon accepted. The organizer of the arena, as well as the senior management behind the Gulasai base, personally came forward and promised Tang the privilege in front of all the audience, even fearing that Tang would regret it. the meaning of.
After all, every time Tang played another game, he was making money for them. They wished that Tang could challenge other gladiators every day.
Although they didn't know why this dragon widow, who seemed very friendly and never laid a fatal blow in previous arena battles, and even brought her daughter with her, suddenly became so bellicose.
The dream changed again, and it came to the day after winning the championship. Just last night, something happened among the gladiators. Tang personally issued an initiative to all gladiators.
Tang proposed that in the future, gladiators should no longer use lethal force against their opponents in the arena.
When the opponent has voluntarily surrendered or lost the ability to fight again, the gladiator no longer hurts the opponent for the sake of harm.
At first, not many gladiators cared about Tang's initiative, and many even thought it was ridiculous and scoffed, even though Tang was the strongest man in the arena and the current champion.
After all, the bloody killings in the arena have been going on for so many years, and now Tang actually wants to change this environment? It's just the wishful thinking of female gladiators. Women have always been so whimsical and engaged in unrealistic fantasy behaviors.
Even the organizers behind the arena didn't pay attention at all, and even thought that Tang was using this method to package himself.
until...
The day's arena match ended, and the audience, who had enjoyed several enjoyable fights, were about to leave when Tang appeared, and her goal was clear.
Those gladiators who did not abide by her "advice" today have all become the targets of Tang's challenge.
This move shocked everyone. No one expected that the privileges raised by Tang would actually be used here.
Soon these gladiators were gathered and forced to enter the arena again. Yes, Don thought it was too troublesome to challenge one by one, so he let them enter together.
Such a feast of fighting skills against many, and the protagonist was the previous female gladiator champion, immediately stimulated the nerves of the audience, making them buy tickets to stay, and many people began to place crazy bets.
The organizer of the arena was already aware of Tang's intention, but faced with such popularity and surge in income, and the fact that Tang had been granted such privileges, they did not stop it.
The game ended in less than ten minutes. In the end, only Tang was still standing in the arena, and all the remaining gladiators were killed by Tang one by one. The scene looked bloody for a while. Incomparably, the corpses of seven or eight gladiators lay scattered beside Tang, allowing everyone to see for the first time the killing side of this dragon race.
The spectators in the arena were thoroughly enjoying watching this match, especially when they saw Tang Killer for the first time. For the enthusiastic spectators in the arena, it was a feast for the eyes, and they wished they could come to a few more matches as soon as possible. Don then kills more gladiators.
Most of the audience only saw what was in front of them, cheering for Tang, but a small number of people frowned and smelled something wrong.
The dream changed again. When Liao Ji went to the lounge as a gladiator again, he found that many gladiators had undergone psychological changes.
】
"Hey, did you watch last night's game? What exactly does Tang mean?"
"She told us not to kill people, but she slaughtered seven or eight gladiators first? How ridiculous!"
"No, didn't you notice? Those people she killed were those who did not comply with her initiative. Those people were challenged by Tang because they killed others in the arena first."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean? As long as we kill people in the arena, Tang will..."
"So what should we do today?"
"No...don't know..."
The gladiators began to whisper and discuss among themselves, and after today's game ended, Liao Ji watched the entire process. There were a total of seventeen games, and there were no casualties in seven of them.
You must know that in the original arena, it was extremely rare to have a game between gladiators without casualties, but today there were seven games!
There is no doubt that Tang's intimidation worked yesterday. Some gladiators became afraid, so even if they won, they did not kill their opponents.
Such a game without killing and blood naturally aroused great dissatisfaction and doubts from the audience. At the same time, they were also very strange. They began to complain that they had lost money in buying tickets today and why the "quality" of the game was so poor.
Some viewers also fantasized about whether today's Tang would be able to give them an extra meal and have another killing feast to make up for their disappointment today.
Originally, the audience was just thinking about it. Everyone knows that star gladiators, as champions, are regarded as treasures in the arena. It would be good to appear once a week, but who would have expected...
After today's game, Tang once again appeared on time, and this time, amid the surprises of the audience, Tang came up with another crazy challenge, sending all the players from today's ten games to the arena. middle.
The result was no surprise. Yi Tang was able to resolve the battle in ten minutes, suppressing it with absolute strength and executing the ten gladiators one after another without any mercy.
After that, Fantasy began to accelerate time, and Tang's challenge never stopped, one day, two days, one week, one month...
During this period, any gladiator who did not abide by Tang's initiative and start killing in the arena would definitely be waiting for him after the day's game, a challenge from Tang, a death challenge.
More and more gladiators, whether because they agree with Tang's initiative or because they are afraid of Tang, have really begun to abide by the agreement and no longer use deadly attacks. As long as the opponent admits defeat, they will immediately stop attacking and never do it again. Deliberately delaying the opponent.
In the end, there was a gladiator who, because the fight was too fierce, when the opponent gave in, his eyes turned red and he accidentally stopped his hand and stabbed the opponent again.
As a result, when he came back to his senses, he was filled with a huge sense of fear. Although he was the winner, he kept apologizing to his opponent, yelling in fear, trying to prove that he never did it on purpose and did not disobey. Don's initiative.
This dramatic scene left the audience stunned, left the gladiators fresh in their memories, and made the organizers behind the arena realize that something was really starting to escape their control.
Since then, the number of gladiator casualties in the arena has begun to decrease significantly. From the beginning, it was just to watch the desperate fight between two desperadoes, and the fight with their lives on the line has now become a real competition of skills. , so far, there are no more bloody elements.
The spectators in the arena came to their senses and began to boycott one after another, shouting curses, and drastically reducing the amount of bets for each game, but it was of no use. The gladiators had begun to become a united force with Tang as the leader. .
After all, for most gladiators, although they make less money, their life safety is greatly improved. Some gladiators even think that this can become a "serious job".
They are no longer beasts in a cage being watched by others, but are truly using their skills in exchange for rewards.
In response to this, the organizers of the arena were anxious. Although they took Tang's dividends and made a lot of money, with the emergence of Tang's initiative, the environment of the arena was changed, and the audience who did not adapt to it began to reduce their purchases. Tickets, arena revenue plummeted.
The organizers tried many ways to save it, using benefits to lure the gladiators and then kill each other, but the effect was very poor. After all, everyone knows that no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it with your life.
Another example is that the organizer is trying to find another gladiator who is more powerful and stronger than Tang. As long as the core of Tang is eliminated, the environment of the arena will naturally return to its previous bloody state, and the audience will also be able to return. .
However, several years have passed. The organizers have found countless so-called strong men through various channels, hoping to defeat Tang, but without exception, the final result is to be killed with a knife.
Not only did the organizers fail to kill Tang, but they also allowed the gladiators to see Tang's terrifying personal strength and strengthen their determination to obey Tang's rules. They even spawned more and more gladiators who regarded Tang as their spiritual leader and began to Gladiators gathered around Tang Dynasty.
Together with Tang, they worked together to refine and revise the original arena rules and make them more standardized. In the process of formulating the rules, they completely skipped the organizers of the arena, which was equivalent to forming a group of gladiators. The independent alliance between them has left the arena organizers alone.
Just before this new set of rules was released, the passage of time in Huanmeng stopped, and Liao Ji found himself in Jiuyou's home.
This is a small courtyard that is not big. Under the moonlight at night... under the blood moon, Jiuyou, who is already a little girl, is swinging a sword hard and practicing her skills under the supervision and guidance of her mother Tang.
Liao Ji stood at the door without disturbing him and watched quietly. After Jiuyou was panting and finally reached his limit, lying on the ground unable to get up, Tang Cai shook his head helplessly. Then he sensed something and moved his gaze to the door.
