Chmura chmur spojrzała na kupony areny, które miała, i z zapałem weszła na arenę dla pojedynczych graczy.
The interior space of the arena was even more spacious than its exterior. In the center was a circular arena with a diameter of one hundred meters, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of seats – one could imagine how lively it must have been in its heyday.
【Current Arena Points: 1000 (Initial Value)】
【Current Ranking: Unranked】
【Remaining Arena Vouchers: 10】
He directly inserted an Arena Voucher into the stone slot of the single-player arena. With a buzzing sound, Xiao Yun was teleported to the center of the arena.
【Matching opponent...】
【Currently no other Lords are challenging, a simulated opponent will be generated.】
【Opponent Level: Level 30 Skeleton General】
The ground cracked open, and a skeleton clad in heavy armor slowly rose. It held a giant axe, and purple soul fire flickered in its eye sockets, its aura far surpassing any skeleton he had encountered before.
Just right to test the new skill. Xiao Yun was pleased rather than surprised. His figure flickered, and he actually split into two identical clones of his main body.
Azure Lotus Sword Song: Three With One Shadow!
Three figures simultaneously drew their swords, their sword energies intertwining into a net. Before the Skeleton General could react, it was shredded into pieces.
【Battle Victory】
【Gained Arena Points: 20】
【Current Winning Streak: 1】
The subsequent battles were without suspense. Whether it was the Level 40 Skeleton Marshal generated by the system, or the Level 50 Bone Dragon Phantom, they couldn't last three moves against the Level 60 Sword Immortal template. Xiao Yun even tried fighting using only his clones, and still won with ease.
After nine consecutive victories, Xiao Yun's Arena Points reached 1180, and his ranking soared to over 1500th place. In the final match, the system finally generated a decent opponent – a Level 60 Shadow Swordsman.
Interesting. Chen Ye put away his casual attitude. This Shadow Swordsman was incredibly fast, his swordsmanship tricky, and he had narrowly broken through his defenses several times. After a fierce battle of more than ten rounds, Xiao Yun finally seized an opening and pierced its throat with a single sword.
【Ten Consecutive Victories Achieved】
【Reward Obtained: Bounty Refresh Order × 5】
【This Week's Challenge Attempts: 10/120】
When leaving the arena, Xiao Yun felt unsatisfied. If he hadn't been low on Gold Coins, he would have liked to use up all his attempts in one go and directly obtain those two Wish Cubes.
It seems I need to find a way to earn more Gold Coins. Xiao Yun pondered. The arena rewards reset weekly, so I must seize this opportunity.
Leaving the Summoning Temple, Xiao Yun arrived at another newly unlocked building, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
This was a hundred-zhang-tall gilded pavilion. Its glazed tiles reflected colorful rays of light under the sun, and Xuan copper wind chimes hung from the eaves, producing fragments of "High Mountain Flowing Water" when the wind blew. The plaque at the main entrance bore the words "Myriad Treasures Pavilion" written with brilliant star sand, each stroke and dot seeming to have fireflies dancing, making it appear like a galaxy descending when viewed from afar at night.
On both sides of the white jade staircase at the entrance stood eighteen Spirit Puppet maids, some holding Ruyis, others holding precious vases. Upon seeing guests, they would all curtsy and open their red lips, saying: "Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Heavenly Pavilion."
Stepping into the hall, his feet landed on floating cloud bricks. Each brick, when stepped upon, would ripple with a lotus-shaped halo and move freely within the Myriad Treasures Pavilion according to the guest's wishes.
A Myriad Treasures Mirror hung suspended from the dome, reflecting the rare treasures of the Great Wasteland World, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
The internal areas of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion were not fixed. The currently open areas included Daily, Points, Limited Purchase, Sect, Arena, Divine Ability, and Dismissal, a total of seven zones.
Xiao Yun first entered the Daily zone. After entering the Daily zone, it was divided into two sections. The lower-level area primarily used Gold Coins as currency, while the higher-level area used Spirit Stones as currency.
Xiao Yun came to the low-level counter and found various items neatly displayed: Common Summoning Contracts, Advanced Summoning Contract Cards, Breakthrough Stones, Common Treasure Hunting Orders, Arena Vouchers... Below each item was marked with a golden number.
Xiao Yun picked up a purple card to examine it:
【Common Summoning Contract】
【A summoning contract possessing ordinary spiritual power, which can be used in common summons to summon heroes.】
【Price: Gold Coin (10% off)】
【Limit: 1】
Next, he picked up the key with a cross-shaped star at the end to examine it:
【Common Treasure Hunting Key】
【An ancient key found everywhere in the Great Wasteland, which can be inserted into the Treasure Hunting Temple for one chance to obtain treasures.】
【Price: Gold Coin (10% off)】
【Limit: 1】
Then, Chen Ye examined the third type of item, which was a stone encased in a purplish-red crystal:
【Dark Epic Battle Spirit Shard】
【Collect 30 of these to randomly summon a dark-element epic hero.】
【Quantity: 10】
【Price: 1.5 million】
Upon seeing the price, Xiao Yun immediately gave up the thought of buying. It was too expensive. Gold Coins had many uses now, and he didn't have enough. Buying this was simply not cost-effective.
The remaining two items were Spirit Power Orbs and Arena Vouchers, both rather expensive, but not needed for now.
He then went to the high-level counter. The items here were clearly more advanced: Advanced Summoning Contract Cards, Wish Cubes, Advanced Treasure Hunting Keys, Legendary Battle Spirit Shards, Divine Ability Essence, and so on.
Moreover, all the items displayed here were priced in Spirit Stones, but the prices were also astonishing – even the cheapest Advanced Contract, at a 10% discount, still cost 25 Spirit Stones. As for the Wish Cubes, there were two, requiring 750 and 1000 Spirit Stones respectively, which were the results of a 30% and 40% discount.
Spirit Stones... Xiao Yun remembered the pile of Gold Coins from the spoils of war and quickly took them out to check. Sure enough, a few shiny Diamond Coins were mixed in.
He then looked at the description of the Breakthrough Stone:
【Breakthrough Stone (1400)】
【Crystallization of heaven and earth's primordial energy, a resource required for Battle Spirits to break through level limitations.】
【Price: 700 Spirit Stones】
【Limit: 1】
Coming in at hundreds each, Xiao Yun had no purchasing power with his current Spirit Stone reserves. Just as Xiao Yun was looking enviously at the items inside, Youyou suddenly jumped out and prompted:
【Detected external currency: Złote Monety Ducha × 1123】
【Can be exchanged for Spirit Stones ×】
【Exchange?】
Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment and did not convert all the Złote Monety Ducha into Spirit Stones. Instead, he took out 100 Złote Monety Ducha and exchanged them for Spirit Stones. With a crisp clinking sound, Spirit Stones appeared before Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun immediately put these Spirit Stones away.
First, buy an Advanced Contract. Xiao Yun put 25 Spirit Stones into the cashier slot of the high-level counter. The counter flashed, and a golden Advanced Summoning Contract Card slowly floated out.
After putting the Advanced Contract Card into his spatial bag, Xiao Yun bought two more Wish Cubes, using up one-fifth of the 100 Spirit Stones he had just replenished.
As for the other zones, Xiao Yun also went to check them out and found that the currencies used in those trading areas were quite special. Up to now, he had not obtained any of them and could only sigh in regret.
Exiting the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Xiao Yun returned to the Summoning Temple and eagerly used the newly acquired Advanced Summoning Contract.
A blue beam of light appeared on the altar. Within the beam, a ghost messenger wearing simple armor and emitting black energy appeared. It should be the earth-element Rare Battle Spirit, Underworld Yin Soldier – the ghost messenger.
Xiao Yun directly assigned the ghost messenger to Tualina's command, letting Tualina manage these low-level Battle Spirits well.
