Chapter 272: Prelude

Senior Brother Sun did not uncover the mystery of the box on the right but led Chen Chuan and the other three deeper into the exhibition hall. Inside, the display shelves were filled with bizarre creatures from the ocean, all of them strangely shaped, some of which were horrifying to look at. Senior Brother Sun explained with a smile, "Some things look scary, but they are not dangerous. They have strict requirements for their living environment, which we need to maintain at all times. This is mainly for those picky customers on the ships. These customers have very high standards, and only things with a bizarre appearance and extremely stimulating sensation can satisfy their tastes." Chen Chuan agreed, because after seeing so many things, only the Crimson Sea Worm showed signs of fading in his Second Self, and no other creature gave him that feeling. At this time, he used the Boundary Token to inquire about the Crimson Sea Worm. This creature can secrete a very strong toxin, and ordinary people will be poisoned just by touching it. However, facing a Third Limit Martial Artist, this toxin does not pose much of a threat, either being blocked or quickly metabolized. Moreover, this thing still has some fighting ability even on land, but it is still not as good as terrestrial beasts. So, Senior Brother Sun said that releasing this thing tomorrow is just for Martial Combat entertainment, which may really be just for entertainment. After browsing the entire internal exhibition hall, it had been more than an hour. The four of them did not realize that they had been watching for so long. When they came out, Senior Brother Sun said to them, "Our Sea Dragon Company's business is expanding, which has aroused the hostility of many competitors. We encounter man-made attacks and sabotage every year. The Security guard team urgently needs fresh blood. We welcome every talented student to join." Saying that, he handed three blue jade cards to Chen Chuan, Pan Xiaode, and Qi Huixin respectively, and said with a smile: "This has our Sea Dragon Company's seal on it. With this card, you can board the Company's ships anchored in the offshore or port at any time. The night is beautiful tonight. I wish you a pleasant evening, and I must excuse myself." After Chen Chuan and the other three thanked him and parted ways, watching him leave, Pan Xiaode Evaluated, "This Senior Brother Sun is a good person." Tan Zhi said, "Senior Brother Sun's reputation has always been good at school. He is now in the middle level of the Sea Dragon Company and no longer needs to fight and kill personally." Pan Xiaode just said "Oh" and didn't say anything, because he preferred fighting and killing to managing people. He asked, "It's still early, where shall we go?" Tan Zhi thought for a while, first suggesting going to the casino below for a couple of rounds, but no one responded, so he suggested watching the band performance invited by the cruise ship for a while. This time, Chen Chuan and the other three did not object. However, the performance was unexpectedly good, and the four of them stayed until nearly ten o'clock before returning to their rooms. The next day, the cruise ship arranged a speedboat-pulled water skiing activity for them in the morning, and in the afternoon, they held a diving and fish-chasing event. This kind of activity is very popular among Martial Artist. Participants need to wear special diving suits, divide into several competing teams, and snatch and collect fish of all colors from other teams within a specified time, while ensuring the fish are intact. The four of them naturally formed a team and chased and competed with other teams composed of Martial Artist. After this event, Pan Xiaode had a great time. Chen Chuan had received underwater stealth training from He Xiaoxing before, so this kind of activity was just pure entertainment for him, but it was also a rare chance to relax. The entertainment activities continued until the evening, because they had been informed in the afternoon that the duel between the two Third Limit Martial Artist would be held at seven o'clock, so at five thirty, the four of them returned to the cruise ship to wash up, had dinner in the restaurant, and headed towards the Fighting Deck. When they arrived at the Martial Combat arena, they found that many people were already seated in the arena, and this time there were more than just them from Wuyi Academy Student. Some senior student also appeared, but they did not greet each other at all. This was normal. Even if they were from the same Academy, everyone had their own small circle, and there were many who did not know each other or even disliked each other, so they did not take the initiative to get close. S~eaʀᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After the four of them found their seats, Chen Chuan looked around. At a glance, the circular arena was densely packed with heads, but most of these were realistic projections, but with these people, it seemed more atmospheric. He then turned his gaze to the middle of the arena, where there was a huge aquarium connected to the top, almost encompassing the entire space. There were water gates and passages on both sides, but now there was no water in it, which should be the venue for the two Martial Artist. Not far from their diagonal, Gong Zhanyi was sitting there, facing the high-level Martial Combat match that was about to begin, but he was a little absent-minded. The manager came over at this time and shook his head at him. "Still nothing?" Gong Zhanyi was a little surprised and couldn't help but feel a little irritable. "Could it be that we judged wrong? No, he must be here, there is no mistake, and he must be on the scene. We must find him at all costs…" The manager reminded in a timely manner, "Young Master, this is Sea Dragon Company's ship." Like being splashed with a basin of cold water, Gong Zhanyi instantly calmed down. The overseas islands fear Sea Dragon Company the most. Da Shun does not interfere in the affairs of overseas island nations, but because of business matters, Sea Dragon Company has been dealing with them all the time. The energy this Company possesses makes them deeply jealous, and now is indeed not the time to antagonize them. He endured it and said, "Let's wait and see, watch the match first." At the same time, many people outside the arena were also paying attention to this Martial Combat. Whether Implant Martial Artist is better, or Wild Sect is as powerful as they say, they really want to know the result. Most people believe that this is a contest between Implant Sect and Wild Sect. In fact, people are different, even if one side loses in today's competition, it cannot be simply concluded that one faction is stronger. But if Implant Sect wins, many Company will undoubtedly promote this match, deeply imprinting this concept into the minds of the public. Once this ideological implantation occurs, with the formation of inherent impressions, it will be difficult to change. At six fifty-five, the doors of the arena slowly closed, and all the lights inside turned on. "Here it comes, here it comes." Everyone's spirit was lifted, and they looked towards the battle platform in unison. Chen Chuan also looked down and saw a thin man walking in from the right. He had thick eyebrows, unkempt beard and hair, yellow and thick nails on his fingers and toes with sharp hooks, and oil paint smeared on his face, his whole body exuding a wild aura. His muscle lines were clear and smooth, strong and flexible. He did not carry any weapons, but only wore a self-made close-fitting diving suit. At this time, in the opposite passage, the Implant Martial Artist walked out at about the same time. Compared to his opponent, he had no distinct characteristics. He had an ordinary face with nothing impressive, but surprisingly, he had no identifiable Implant traces on his body. Chen Chuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at this person. This person looked no different from ordinary people, and his movements were stable and smooth. If it weren't for the introduction, it would be impossible to imagine that this was a Martial Artist whose body parts were almost entirely replaced with Implants. Is this what Compatibility above ninety percent looks like? With the arrival of the two, they began to fill the aquarium with water, gradually submerging their heads. Because the two Martial Artist were only using this venue for Martial Combat exchange, Rhinoceros Horn was only providing the venue. Out of respect for the two Martial Artist, there was no explicit commentator, and neither of their names were revealed. Of course, the discussion on the Boundary Token was another matter. At this moment, the audience on the cruise ship was watching the Boundary Token with novelty and tension, and the discussion on the interface was lively from the beginning. At this moment, someone asked: Won't these two drown in there during Martial Combat? Someone immediately explained that some Gao Ming Martial Artist can breathe underwater, and besides, if the Martial Combat time is not very long, holding their breath is not a problem for either of them. Below, someone began to explain in detail why Martial Artist can do this. Due to the detailed description and professional wording, it immediately attracted a large wave of exclamations and praise. Compared to the noisy audience outside, the Martial Artist in the Martial Combat arena were relatively calm. Some people looked serious, and occasionally someone would communicate using the Boundary Token. Although Wild Sect and Implant Sect's Third-Limit Martial Artist had sparred before, they had never competed so much in the public eye. Today's competition may have an Influence on the future direction of Martial Combat, and may also have an Influence on each of them, so they had to pay attention. At this moment, the aquarium was completely filled with water, and a hole suddenly opened at the bottom of the tank. Under the action of water pressure, a visible whirlpool formed, and this hole closed for a while, and then opened in another place, sometimes two, sometimes three. The organizer immediately came forward to tell the audience on the comment interface that this was to increase the unpredictability and difficulty of the Martial Combat, and it was also agreed by the two Martial Artist. Chen Chuan couldn't help but pay more attention to it. Although this looks like a small change, when two people with similar levels are fighting, sometimes a slight extra change may become a weight that tips the balance of victory or defeat. Then he turned his gaze to the two people, evaluating their combat power in his heart. He had fought with Third Limit Martial Artist several times, but he had never truly reached this realm himself, and he wanted to see carefully how two Third Limit Martial Artist would fight. At this moment, a drumbeat that shook the entire arena came from his ear, and he immediately realized that the fight… had begun. …
