Chapter five hundred and eighty first deliberate provocation
Squeak!
At the signal from Evie's eyes, a boy stepped forward and pushed open the door of the gladiatorial hall.
In an instant.
The weak sound became stronger than countless others.
The deafening sound of shouts, laughter and beast roars mixed together passed through the gate and rushed toward everyone.
Look intently.
The entire arena is spacious and bright, with an area of about seven to eight thousand square meters, almost equivalent to a standard football field.
The ceiling is inlaid with unknown crystal stones, which emit a bright but not dazzling light, making the entire venue as bright as the streets in daylight.
The floor and walls seemed to have undergone some kind of special treatment. They looked like they were made of wooden boards, but they exuded a cold metallic sheen, giving them a texture as solid as gold and iron.
The gladiatorial hall at Nottingham University is divided into relatively small venues.
They are separated by spacious aisles.
At this moment.
Many people gathered in the venue, and the noise was endless.
Many students are competing in various venues.
The surrounding aisles were filled with spectators, watching the battle with great interest, whispering to each other, laughing and discussing.
From time to time the crowd would burst into loud cheers.
Everyone walked into the venue in amazement and looked around with curiosity.
Among the exchange students present, except for a few such as Lin Ze, Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi who had fought against beast spirit warriors before, the rest of them had seen the beast spirit warriors fight for the first time, and they couldn't help but watch intently.
In various venues, the competing students either showed beast-like features on certain parts of their bodies, or were entirely shrouded in translucent shadows of spiritual beasts.
The only thing they have in common is that these people are all extremely physically strong.
Zheng Ying and others watched with great interest.
On the contrary, Lin Ze looked around, a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Ewei had been paying attention to Lin Ze, saw the change in his expression, and immediately asked:
"Classmate Lin Ze, do you have any questions?"
Originally, Evie had been calling Lin Ze "Your Excellency" until Lin Ze asked Evie to treat him and everyone else equally on the grounds that he did not want to arouse suspicion and expose his identity, so the girl changed her tune.
Lin Ze was not polite when he heard this and asked directly:
"The students in the venue are all using the ability to fuse the blood of spiritual beasts. But as far as I know, there should be a branch of beast spiritualists that control spiritual beasts in combat, right?"
Evie was startled for a moment, then smiled, nodded and said:
"That's true, but what Lin Ze doesn't know is that in the empire, only nobles have mastered the cultivation method of merging the blood of spirit beasts, and only beast spiritualists from noble backgrounds are qualified to fuse the blood of spirit beasts!"
"Beast spiritualists who are born as civilians can only practice the combat skills of controlling spiritual beasts!"
"I see."
Lin Ze's eyes flashed slightly.
No wonder no one can be seen controlling spiritual beasts to fight in the venue.
After all, the students at the Royal Central Academy are all children of nobles, so it is conceivable that they all have the blood of spiritual beasts.
Lin Ze suddenly remembered that when Geshan Province invaded, among the beast spirit people he encountered on the plane battlefield, ordinary soldiers generally used spirit beasts as mounts and used spirit beasts to fight.
Only officers of noble origin can display various spiritual beast bloodline abilities.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but now that I think about it, it is a manifestation of the strict and clear hierarchy of the Beast Spirit Empire!
By monopolizing the bloodline of spirit beasts, the aristocratic class of the spirit beast empire completely blocked the way for civilians to climb up!
Civilian beast spiritualists who have not merged with the blood of spiritual beasts will never become strong after practicing for a lifetime!
And if talented civilians want to merge with the blood of spirit beasts, they must join and be loyal to the nobles, which in turn strengthens the power of the nobles!
This is what the imperial aristocracy relies on for hundreds of years.
In just a few seconds, Lin Ze thought through the joints and sighed secretly in his heart.
In the hierarchical Beast Spirit Empire, it is much more difficult for civilians to get ahead than in the Federation.
If he had traveled to the Beast Spirit Empire, even if he had a golden finger, it would be even more difficult for him to get ahead.
I'm afraid that as soon as I showed a little bit of limelight, I was suppressed by the aristocratic class!
Even if you join the nobility, you will most likely be jealous of your immediate family members.
Just think about it, which noble family would allow an outsider to put pressure on their head?
Fortunately, he traveled through the Federation and not the Beast Spirit Empire.
While Lin Ze was thinking, many people in the venue had already noticed their group, pointing at them and whispering to each other.
"Who are those people? Why aren't they wearing uniforms?"
"I heard he's an exchange student from the beast-controlling plane!"
"Oh, it turns out they are beast masters!"
"Tsk, tsk, this outfit is too weird."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Didn't you see that Chairman Ivie is here? If you piss off the Chairman, you will suffer a lot!"
"I think those girls are so pretty!"
"..."
Among the many curious, scrutinizing and surprised glances, there are also many hostile ones.
Several boys in the crowd looked at each other and winked at each other.
Listening to the noisy discussions around her, Evie narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around.
As if feeling invisible pressure, the surrounding discussions suddenly weakened a lot.
"Everyone, let's continue visiting other places."
Ewei turned around and smiled at Lin Ze and his group, and was about to take them away.
But at this moment.
Suddenly a voice came from the crowd.
"Wait a moment!"
Evie paused and turned around to look.
Everyone also looked in the direction of the sound.
The dense crowd parted to both sides, and four or five boys walked out.
The leading boy is tall and burly, about in his early twenties, with a rebellious look on his face.
"President Ivie, it's rare for guests to come to the gladiatorial hall, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Evie narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the boy who spoke for a few seconds with cold eyes, then raised the corners of her lips in a sarcastic arc.
"It turns out to be Hook. It seems that you have a lot of leisure time after leaving the Autonomous Committee, and you have time to hang out in the gladiatorial hall."
The boy named Hook stiffened when he heard this, the annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:
"It's all thanks to Chairman Ivie. I will always remember your care for me. I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Hook emphasized the words "care" and "repay", and did not hide his deep malice.
However, Evie seemed not to have heard anything, her face remained cold, and she said calmly:
"If nothing happens, please forgive me for not accompanying you. I still want to take the guests to visit the academy."
Hu Ke sneered, turned to look at Lin Ze and others, and raised his voice:
"I heard that you are all the best in each grade of your respective colleges. Your talent and strength are far beyond ordinary students. I wonder if you dare to compete with us?"
There was a sudden silence all around.
Then there was an uproar.
Evie's face darkened and she shouted coldly:
"Hook, do you know what you are doing? These students are distinguished guests of the college, and you are not allowed to mess around!"
"How can this be nonsense?"
Hook glanced sideways at Evie and crossed his arms.
"Isn't the purpose of the exchange program to allow both parties to have friendly exchanges? In that case, why not have a competition with these classmates? Or do you think you are not as good as us and are afraid of losing?"
The last sentence was said to Lin Ze and others, and the provocation and disdain in the words were clear at a glance.
Hearing this, the girls Zheng Ying and Qiao Sizhu all showed anger and glared at Hu Ke.
"Who's afraid of you? Let's compare!"
Zhou Mingsheng couldn't bear the excitement at first and stood up and shouted loudly.
Liu Man and Xing Muxin looked at each other and did not stop them.
Neither of them were stupid, and they didn't know that Hook was deliberately provoking.
If they back down at this time, they will lose all face in the beast-controlling plane!
No matter what, you must stand up and face it head on at this time!
