Fierce Horror Dorm: Take a Concubine to Get Stronger
Chapter 358: Sky-Piercing Slash; A God-Tier Structure Emerges—Duel to the Death
Xu Lang stood at the center of the venue with his eyes tightly shut. It felt as if his soul had been split open by a crack, and it was precisely through this fissure that a beam of light poured down!
Endless insights surged within his heart, driving him to unleash the most sincere and, simultaneously, the most powerful slash of his life.
His body was slightly hunched, as if an immense force of a thousand jun was pressing against the area in front of the sword's hilt, making his draw somewhat sluggish.
The blade of Purgatory March emanated faint threads of Ghost Qi. Even before it left the scabbard, an aura of ultimate destruction was already brewing.
"Extreme Path: Void-Sundering Slash!!!"
The moment the longsword was fully drawn, that destructive aura erupted and released, reaching far and wide without limit!
A circular blade wave spanning hundreds of meters enveloped the entire sports hall. The spectator stands completely shattered, and the dome ceiling began to shake precariously!
[War God]
[Type: Universal Skill]
[Level: 5]
[Exclusive Skill: Extreme Path: Void-Sundering Slash]
"I'm so handsome!" Xu Lang sheathed his sword, smiled confidently, and prepared to leave.
Extreme Path: Void-Sundering Slash was integrated with the War God skill and didn't occupy skill capacity. Although, with the "Mad Spirit" talent, he wasn't particularly concerned about skill capacity anyway.
Right at that moment, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.
[Dormitory Broadcast: Congratulations to player "Xu Lang" for unlocking the Divine Trial. The Gymnasium has been transformed into the "Iron Blood Colosseum". Everyone is welcome to come and fight!]
[Iron Blood Colosseum Rules are as follows]
[One, players can initiate duels within the colosseum. The challenged player cannot refuse. Each player can initiate at most one duel per day. All duels are to the death. The deceased will drop items equivalent to approximately fifty percent of their total value. The duelist can only carry five pieces of equipment and one item.]
[Two, death duels will be considered "Death Duel Performances".]
[Three, the Iron Blood Colosseum will periodically host "Challenge Performances" for public viewing.]
[Four, players can assist the challengers and share the rewards upon victory.]
[Five, the Iron Blood Colosseum is a Divine-tier building of the Dorm Survival Game. Currently, three exist. Performances are shared. It is not open during game time.]
Xu Lang was forcibly teleported outside the gymnasium.
Before his eyes, the gymnasium flickered like a phantom illusion for a moment, gradually being replaced by the phantom image of a colosseum, which then solidified completely.
Iron Blood Colosseum? Why does it feel so similar to the Blood Mist phenomenon the Young Master mentioned?
Xu Lang's heart was filled with doubt and unease.
In the chat room, bullet comments flooded like a tide. The players were all emotionally frenzied, frantically @ing Xu Lang, asking what had happened.
Simultaneously, a large number of players swarmed to the location.
"Xu Lang, what's going on?" Li Shuwen arrived with a light, almost skimming leap and asked.
The gymnasium was his territory. Now that this anomaly had occurred, he was the most anxious.
In front of the colosseum's arched gate, Xu Lang tried to enter but was prompted that there were currently no performances and he couldn't enter. He was asked if he wanted to initiate a duel.
He didn't have anyone he wanted to kill, so he naturally refused.
"I don't know either." Xu Lang shook his head at Li Shuwen, then looked at the dueling arena and sighed, "This thing really has an invisible wall."
This was the first building he had ever seen with an invisible wall.
This effect defied common sense, but considering it was a "Divine-tier building" of the Dorm Survival Game, it somehow seemed perfectly natural.
Divine-tier buildings existed in the word-of-mouth legends among players. It was said they could connect all dormitory buildings, but not all dorm buildings had the potential to possess one.
And the Mad King Building clearly possessed this potential.
"I want to initiate a death duel!"
Suddenly, a figure that seemed almost insane rushed over, his voice trembling and shrill.
Xu Lang glanced sideways. It was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard.
"It's Hu Jianguo!"
"Are you crazy? Hu Jianguo!"
"He's not crazy. His tenant was screwed over by Zhou Chang in the last round of the game and died. His wife and daughter are inside."
"Zhou Chang was just trying to survive too..."
"You bastard, how dare you speak for those scum from the fourth floor!"
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Amidst the noisy crowd, ten fireworks bloomed in the sky above the dueling arena.
Hu Jianguo's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Moments later, the Dormitory Broadcast sounded.
[Dormitory Broadcast: "Kill Zhou Chang" and "Hu Jianguo Cao Ni Ma" will perform a "Death Duel Performance" in ten minutes. Players can enter the colosseum to watch the performance after purchasing tickets.]
All the players of the Mad King Building became interested.
What a novelty!
But they didn't step forward because Xu Lang was blocking the way in front.
They weren't maniacs like Hu Jianguo.
"Xu Lang, are you going in to watch?" Li Shuwen looked at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang didn't answer, instead looking behind him.
The crowd automatically parted as Cao Yaxuan and the others arrived.
Their appearance here, with their charm off the charts, was like shining stars.
"Did Little Meng not come?" Xu Lang asked.
"Little Meng is guarding the home base." Xu Ruyan replied.
"Tell her to come over. Turn on the dorm's auto-attack mode. Nothing will happen in such a short time." Xu Lang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xu Ruyan revealed a smile.
"Uncle Wen, the scene is a bit chaotic. Remember to protect Wenwen, or bring her along to watch the performance." Xu Lang then looked at Li Shuwen.
Being called Uncle Wen didn't make Li Shuwen happy at all.
Why the hell are you so concerned about Wenwen?
"Ah, I know." Li Shuwen sighed, feeling a sour ache in his heart.
Xu Lang understood Li Wenwen quite well. In a situation like this, Li Wenwen would definitely come to join the excitement.
And once Xu Lang said this, many players felt a chill in their hearts.
Li Wenwen's combat power wasn't strong, but she absolutely must not be dueled!
The colosseum's death duel setup was extremely prone to breeding vendetta events of 'you kill me, I kill you'.
But such events would definitely not spread to Xu Lang.
Everyone knew Xu Lang was invincible.
Whether new players or veteran players, after learning what Xu Lang had done during pioneering, they all regarded him with awe as if he were a deity.
"Ah, Lang Ge, do you think the appearance of this dueling arena is good or bad?" Tong Qi spoke up.
"A good thing." Xu Lang said with a smile.
Such special buildings were an important part of a dorm building's ecosystem. The more special buildings, the stronger the dorm building.
"I also think it's a good thing. This way, everyone will have something to consider when they act." Zhen Lu agreed.
Senior Sister Red Butterfly sneered, "Heh, yes. Either eradicate the roots completely, or don't provoke them at all."
The surrounding players felt a chill upon hearing these words.
Some players had already started sweating on their foreheads.
In this Mad King Building, who dared say they didn't have one or two enemies?
More and more players gathered in front of the colosseum, reaching about eighty to ninety percent of the total population.
The players from Dorm 200 stood at the colosseum entrance. Players like Wu Huihui, Zheng Kai, Kui Zi, and Yan Xiaoli, who were on good terms with Xu Lang and his group, stood closer, occasionally striking up a conversation.
Further back were notable powerhouses like Xiao Yan and Floating Life Play.
The outermost ring was the ordinary players.
Everyone watched eagerly until Xu Xiaomeng arrived.
"The tickets are quite expensive." Xu Lang raised an eyebrow.
A single ticket cost one hundred thousand Copper Coins, which ordinary players couldn't really afford.
But for the sake of novelty, he still bought one.
Performances were shared, so he might encounter players from other dorm buildings inside. Thinking about it was a little exciting.
After Xu Lang and the others entered, Li Shuwen and the rest also began to file in.
"They've all left."
Floating Life Play narrowed his long, narrow eyes, his fingers twitching, lost in thought.
"Brother Xi, let's first figure out what's going on with this colosseum." A dark-skinned youth leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Floating Life Play nodded. Steel wires blocked the path, clearing other players away, and he swaggered towards the colosseum gate with a group of his tenants.
