Today in Honmaru Retirement Again

Chapter 24

Candlestick Tachibana was the first to jump off the teleportation platform.

His right hand stroked the long sword at his waist as he looked around, secretly on guard.

This was a crowded reception hall, very spacious and bright.

The metal walls and floors were smooth and flat, and the furnishings were extremely simple, full of a strong sense of technology.

In the center was a circular transparent corridor that led to the top, and several high-speed elevators shuttled through it.

Outside the glass window,

The holographic projection of the reception staff floated in the air, introducing the basic information to the crowd in the common language.

"Welcome, Warrior, to the Sky Comprehensive Arena!

The arena has a total of 251 floors and a height of 991 meters. There are hundreds of fighting categories and tens of thousands of virtual experience carriers. Every day, more than 4,000 challengers join the challenge team.

Every year, more than one billion people come here to watch the live competition, and hundreds of billions of viewers watch the live broadcast online.

This is the best fighting arena in the entire galaxy … Here, you will have a wider and freer world! "

"Warrior,

I look forward to your wonderful performance! "

"This place … is completely different from what I imagined." Candlestick Tachibana looked up at the holographic projection and sighed.

"You haven't been here before?

That's not right. Your expression tells me that you're looking forward to it. "

The black-haired youth leading the way turned around in surprise. Under Candlestick Cutting's tacit gaze,

He asked in disbelief, "Ah … Could it be …"

"You want to go to the sword and saber training field?

The kind of training field where The Inquisitor exchange greetings with each other, the swords and sabers fight in order, and I fight back and forth without any anger? "

"No, no, no …" The Inquisitor shook his head.

He firmly objected. "Fighting with your own dungeon,

It's too boring. "

"If you want to fight to your heart's content,

You still have to be here. "

The bustling crowd hurriedly passed by them,

Heading in their respective directions.

The lines on the ground divided the reception area into several large areas. Above the reception desk hung a gray sign with words such as "Practice Registration", "Strength Test", "Appointment", "Inquiry", "Help", "Teleportation", and other words in the common language.

The teleportation was behind them, where they had just walked.

The God's Inquisitor led them to the registration area for the drill.

Creatures of all shapes and sizes were lined up in a long line.

There was a handsome swordsman with long hair and dressed in white and blue robes. There was also a ferocious man with bulging muscles and a fierce face. There was even a short humanoid with green skin, pointed ears, and a walking stick. There was also a beautiful snake demon with multiple heads sharing the same body.

Ji Kai strode past them and went straight to the registration counter.

The tattooed young man was furious and slammed his fist on the table. "Line up!"

Candlestick Tachibana took half a step forward and glared coldly.

Tarō Tarō lowered his head and looked at him, his killing intent overflowing.

Ji Kai, who didn't even look at him, took out a card from his pocket and threw it to the uniformed staff at the front desk.

The vicious young man still wanted to say something, but when he saw the card, he silently fell silent and slipped back into the group.

After swiping the card's information on the special machine, the staff member returned the card to Ji Kai. His voice was full of awe. "Mr. Kay, are you sure you want to register for the competition today?"

"Yes."

"Okay, we will arrange it for you as soon as possible.

After the competition time and candidates are confirmed, we will send you a communication message.

Please check it in time and arrive at the designated arena on time. "

The black-haired young man took a step back and pushed Candlestick Tachibana and Tarō Tarō to the front.

The staff member glanced at the two and asked hesitantly, "Are the two of you also participating?"

"Of course," Ji Kai answered for his swords. "It's their first time here. Please arrange the test."

"No problem.

Please fill in the form first. "

A few minutes later, the two of them filled in all the forms under Ji Kai's guidance and received their personal number plates and communication devices.

Tarō Tarō was number 9132 and Candlestick Tachibana was number 9173.

"Please follow me. I will take you to test your strength," the professional guide said.

"There are a total of 251 floors here. First-time contestants will have to compete on the first floor. The referee will assign the contestants to different floors based on their performance.

The ten floors are a level. The higher you go, the higher the level.

You have just appeared, so you don't have much experience in fighting in your human form. Don't worry too much about the results. "The black-haired young man explained to Fu Mourning God as they walked.

There were no more steps under their feet. The four of them walked up the flat ground and arrived at the testing field on the first floor through the arched door in front of them.

The noise and the smell of blood rushed into Candlestick Tachibana's ears and nose.

Inside the door, it was completely different from the quiet and secluded stairwell. It was another world that belonged to the contestants.

The huge arena was filled with excited spectators. At the bottom of the arena, there were dozens of arenas neatly arranged.

The two contestants fought in the narrow arenas. The referee floated in the air, counting down or announcing the score loudly.

On the wall behind the spectators, there were countless screens of the same size, broadcasting the details of each arena at close range.

"How nostalgic."

Ji Kai pulled Fu Mourning God to an empty seat in front of him and sat down. He glanced at the situation in the arena. His eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth rose.

"You have been here before?"

Although he had a rough guess, Candlestick Tachibana still needed The Inquisitor to give him a formal answer.

"Yes."

Ji Kai put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs on the chair. He said casually, "I haven't been here for a long time. This place hasn't changed.

Look, arena number 11 in area A. This body fought the first battle there. "

"When I went up, they all thought I was here to die. They even gave me a 5: 1 payout … Tsk tsk … How embarrassing …"

Candlestick Tachibana didn't think that the spectators were stupid.

Among the group of burly men, The Inquisitor looked like a logistician with no combat ability.

"Those who are weak will only evaluate their strength based on their appearance."

Ji Kai looked at his saber and sword with pity. "When you go up later, don't lower yourself to their level.

Candlestick Tachibana was perfectly unjustly implicated.

As a senior, The Inquisitor didn't have time to impart more of his experience. The broadcast had already called the two contestants.

"Contestants 8764 and 9132, please go to arena number 3 in area B.

Contestants 8543 and 9173, please go to arena number 15 in area C. "

Ji Kai patted Candlestick Cutting's shoulder. "Warm up for tomorrow's battle."

Then he looked up at Tarō Tarō and smiled. "Show me your strength!"

*

In area B arena number 3, Lan Fafu, who was tall and handsome, wore a black tuxedo. He was tall and had long legs. He was facing the tall and bald monk in robes silently.

In area C arena number 15, a tall man with long hair and wooden clogs unsheathed his saber. A hunchbacked old man sneered and raised his crutch.

"Beautiful!

What a beautiful strike!

Contestant 9173, Candlestick Tachibana, slashed!

It's been a long time since I've seen such a pure Japanese Katana Drawing Technique!

Contestant 8764 was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a bang!

Contestant 9173 wins!

From the audience's cheers, it can be seen that no one is optimistic about contestant 9173 before the match. The 3: 1 odds also prove this point. "

"Contestant 9132 wins!

This saber is really daunting.

Tarō Tarō, who can easily wield this weapon, will definitely give the contestants upstairs a headache. "

In less than three minutes, the two contestants finished the match almost at the same time.

"Contestant 9173, please go to the 100th floor!"

"Contestant 9132, please go to the 120th floor!"

Ji Kai applauded and welcomed the two contestants. "How do you feel?"

Candlestick Tachibana was not a warlike Fu Mourning God.

But as long as it was a saber or a sword, it would never not thirst for battle and victory.

Hearing the cheers in his ears, Taitō, who was always calm and reliable and good at hiding his emotions, could not help but become excited. "It was easier than I thought."

"Hahaha." Ji Kai could not help but laugh. "Candlestick Cutting, you are really cute.

Many of them use all sorts of methods and train hard just to cultivate themselves into weapons. But you, you were born to be sharp weapons to hurt others. "

Candlestick Tachibana lowered his head in embarrassment.

"But don't let your guard down.

There will be many surprises above the 100th floor. "

The Inquisitor finished his warning and turned to Taitō. "By the way, Tarō, were you injured in the forest this afternoon?"

This was what he had discovered and recalled from God of Death Fu's stiff movements when he was watching the match on the field just now.

Tarō Tarō did not care. "It's just a minor injury."

"Mr. Tarō Tarō, you should rest for a while," Candlestick Tachibana pleaded from the side.

In fact, when he was in the This Pill, he had already advised Taitō to explain the situation to The Inquisitor and suggest a replacement candidate.

However, Taitō listened to him for a long time with a cold expression. In the end, he said, "Thank you." Then, he got up and left.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Tarō Tarō only had eyes for The Inquisitor. He once again ignored Candlestick Cutting's concern.

The black-haired youth called for the two to follow him and left the place together.

"The official match is coming up next.

You can go and get your prize money first.

The prize money can be exchanged for Jiazhou gold. Hmm … it should be enough to buy two boxes of snacks.

"As for me, I just received a notice that my luck is pretty good today. A challenger has sent me a challenge, and I have already accepted it.

The match will start in twenty minutes. Do you want to come and see your master's heroic appearance? "

The Inquisitor asked with a smirk.

"Are you really going to go on stage?"

Although he had heard The Inquisitor's participation request during the registration, Candlestick Tachibana, who was extremely shocked, only now felt a little bit of reality.

"Oh?

Can't I? "

Ji Kai was puzzled. However, when he saw the worry on Candlestick Cutting's face, he winked at him. "Are you worried about me?"

"There's no need."

The Inquisitor, who was full of heroic spirit, said so.

*

On the 231st floor, the audience, who were clamoring for food, heard that the OP was back and that there would be an exciting challenge soon. The seats were all sold out.

Candlestick Cutting and Tarō Tarō were invited by the OP and successfully sat in the two best seats in the front row.

The match had not yet started, but the audience was already full of enthusiasm. They were passionately shouting "Kay, Kay, Kay".

Candlestick Tachibana understood that they were shouting another alias of The Inquisitor, but it still did not feel real at all.

"My lord, is it really okay?"

Thinking of the God's Inquisitor's fragile appearance, even though he knew rationally that he should not judge a book by its cover, the blue-haired deity of tragedy was still very worried. He asked the same question again.

The scene made him feel a lot of pressure. He was completely unable to believe The Inquisitor's "there's no need".

"I believe in my master."

Tarō Tarō stared at the slender figure in the middle of the field with bright eyes. His low voice hid a faint sense of expectation.

"Good evening, audience friends!

Welcome to the venue. The match between the OP of the 231st floor, Kay, and Dilumudo Audi is about to begin.

Contestant Audi is a new rising star. In just half a month, he reached the 220th floor, and in another month, he reached the 231st floor. In his first match, he dares to challenge Kay!

His courage is commendable!

Let us warmly welcome him to the arena! "

A man wearing a tight, dark green, sleeveless leather armor walked into the arena.

Ji Kai looked over curiously. He found that this man with a good figure had a good face. He was handsome, charming, and had a black mole at the corner of his eye, which added a touch of charm.

Screams of girls came from the audience. The camera panned over. A group of young girls and young women were holding up support boards and cheering for Dilumudo in high spirits.

At the same time, in the forum where the match was being discussed, Kay's fans were rapidly increasing.

[Ahhhhhh …]

[There's finally a good-looking guy in the group of bald uncles!]

[What fight!

Handsome, come home with me, I'll buy you candy!]

[Ahhhhh, he's so handsome ahhhhh, I'm sorry, Kay, I, I, I, I want to climb walls …]

[F * ck, do you have to be so fickle?]

=]

[Hmph, my Kay is the same on the outside. He's handsome, he's handsome, and he's strong.]

[Ahahahahaha, you won't let go of such a handsome Kay, right?]

[Quiet, quiet!

Quietly watch my Kay show off his prowess.]

[I watch every match of Kay's, but I like watching him play, gangster!!!]

[Waiting for Kay to play gangster.]

[Waiting for Kay to play gangster.]

[Waiting for Kay to play gangster.]
