The road is vague

Chapter 370 Gladiator Ace (Part 3)

Originally, Afu's idea was to gradually cultivate the reputation of this Thunder Punishment Venerable.

As a newcomer's opening performance, consuming thirty deep-sea man-eating claws in one go was only average. However, given the limited funds in the Fearless Arena's account, this was already the greatest consideration he could give to this Thunder Punishment Venerable.

Next, he originally planned to have Thunder Punishment Venerable appear every two days, hire long-term cooperating free gladiators, and gradually build up Thunder Punishment Venerable's reputation, then attract investors, and finally cultivate him into the arena's ace.

But to everyone's surprise, the bear demon suddenly gave up at this moment.

"Hmph, the reason it treats Venerable Lei Fa like this, seemingly because of a conflict between the two, is actually to show its power to the arena."

Afu muttered to himself with a gloomy expression.

As a human, he must have some exceptional qualities to be able to serve as the manager here.

"Alright, let's use these three days to build up some basic popularity for this Thunder Punishment Venerable. With Xiong Lishi's popularity, he should attract a group of spectators in three days. If this Thunder Punishment Venerable wins, he will most likely take over the two investors behind Xiong Lishi, and may even attract new investors. It will be only natural for him to become the ace gladiator of the arena in the future. If he loses, then let the owner decide."

Since the goal is to quickly build up Li Mo's popularity, arranging for ordinary free gladiators to participate in story-driven exhibition matches is naturally unlikely.

This is a tactic used by gladiatorial arenas to profit from ticket sales by featuring popular, idolized gladiators.

So he went to the area where the slave gladiators were imprisoned. After taking a short look around, he thought about it for a while and finally gritted his teeth and decided to go to the slave traders to see if there were any suitable sources of goods, in order to lay the groundwork for building up his reputation with the Thunder Punishment Venerable in the next two days.

Compared to gladiatorial exhibition matches, the naked life-and-death struggle is undoubtedly more attractive to the audience.

However, this would be too costly for the gladiatorial arena. Even the most successful gladiatorial arena cannot afford to consume a large number of slaves for performances every day. This is only necessary when training professional gladiators.

How to make these professional gladiators famous and attract audiences while saving money as much as possible is a profound science.

the other side.

Li Mo returned to his room and sat down to rest.

He appeared to be resting, but in reality, his mind was completely absorbed in the giant tree on Misty Peak, as if he could hear the heartbeat of the true demon avatar.

The immense nourishment and support from the order of the Evil God Grass allowed the True Demon clone to grow strong.

He was only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

of course.

The demon race does not have a so-called Nascent Soul, but as their realm increases, they can still acquire all sorts of incredible abilities, becoming more ferocious, depraved, and filthy.

At this moment, Li Mo is using the True Demon Avatar as a target for comprehension, trying his best to understand the relationship between his Multiverse Chaotic Thunder Dao and the order of heaven and earth.

"My current understanding of the Dao of Thunder is at the level of the initial dualistic chaotic Dao of Thunder integrated with the Thunder Realm. It mainly involves aligning my understanding of the Dao with the order of heaven and earth, or rather, embedding it into it, to create a wider impact as much as possible. I have transformed from cultivation to Dao cultivation. In less than two months, three sea monsters on the Thousand Treasures Islands have already faced the tribulation of transformation. Two failed and one succeeded."

The opponent's success is Li Mo's failure.

The opponent's failure is Li Mo's success.

The opponent's tribulation, seemingly a battle against the heavens, is in reality a battle against the dualistic chaotic thunder path.

Extending from this, the secret he feared must surely be the evening itself.

Leaving that aside for now, another matter facing Li Mo is how to embed his Multiverse Chaos Thunder Dao into the Lost Continent.

His original idea was naturally to find another demon beast or dragon facing the tribulation of transformation, whether it was a minor tribulation of initial transformation or a major tribulation of advancing to the level of a great demon king.

But now he suddenly realized, why not use a true demon clone to embed himself into the world?
After all, the True Demon Avatar will also face the tribulation of lightning, and with the foundation of his Evil God Grass order, there is naturally no possibility of him failing the tribulation. At that time, although Li Mo's main body will lose some of his divine soul, he will be able to further strengthen the True Demon Avatar. At the same time, he will also be able to try to carefully sense the connection between the original True Demon blood and the True Demon Avatar from the level of order.

"Once everything is on track, I will most likely enter the Nascent Soul stage along with my True Demon clone. If nothing unexpected happens, it will even be enough to support me to advance one or two more minor realms. But further ahead, in the long run, the right path is to try to comprehend a deeper level of the Dao of Thunder, from the dualistic chaotic thunder Dao to the tri-dimensional, quadri-dimensional, and even quinary chaotic thunder Dao. At that time, although I cannot guarantee that anyone will successfully pass the tribulation, within my sphere of influence, I can ensure that the alien races that conflict with my lineage gradually weaken..."

Just as Li Mo was feeling satisfied with his insights from the day and preparing to go to sleep, someone gently pushed open his door.

"who!"

Li Mo activated his spiritual eye and looked around.

She turned out to be one of the maids he had saved yesterday. After arriving at his room, she was dressed in a light blue gauze dress, her graceful figure partially obscured, and knelt before Li Mo.

"Thank you for saving me today, young master. I have no way to repay you, but I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly."

After realizing what was happening, Li Mo couldn't help but chuckle softly.

In the years since he left the Great Qian Kingdom, although he has always been anxious and missed it, it was only through his romantic encounters with the women here that his mindset gradually matured. He was inspired by the passion and uninhibitedness of the women here and had no regrets about coming here.

"What's your name? Is your injury getting any better?"

Li Mo asked gently.

"My name is Qingxiu. I have already applied medicine to my wound."

"Really? Turn around and let me see. Make sure to apply the powder as evenly as possible, otherwise it will definitely leave a scar later."

As Li Mo's large hands touched the wound on Qingxiu's back, sending his vital energy into her body, Qingxiu felt a warm sensation all over her body, and the pain from the wound on her back was significantly reduced.

At the same time, he felt that Li Mo's hands seemed to possess an indescribable magical power.

As Li Mo continued to stroke her, Qingxiu's breathing gradually became rapid, and her petite body trembled uncontrollably as she tried to lean back into the arms of this Thunder Punishment Venerable.

There's no need to elaborate on the events of Huairou that occurred overnight.

the next day.

Li Mo arrived at the lounge.

As professional gladiators, although they were of much higher status than slave gladiators and received as much care as possible from the arena in their lives, they still had to stay in a limited, dark underground space every day, with only a little sunlight shining into the rest room.

He naturally lay down on the armchair, letting the waiting maids vie to serve him.

After all, Li Mo not only had a transcendent status, but was also a human, handsome young man, and unlike those demonic beasts who were inherently cruel and would torture others for amusement, he naturally became the object of many maids' vying to serve. They were afraid that if they were too late, they would have no choice but to serve others.

After a slight pause, Li Mo realized the key point.

So he waved his hand, and everyone gathered around, and he assigned them different tasks. Even Zizi had someone specifically responsible for feeding the fruits and vegetables and removing the pits and peels.

Li Mo casually handed a plate of fruit to Qingxiu.

"You didn't get enough rest last night while you were healing. Go to my room and get some rest. No one will dare to say anything."

Seeing this, the other maids all revealed expressions of jealousy and envy. Upon hearing this, Qingxiu blushed and responded obediently.

"Yes."

after awhile.

As usual, Iron Fang Wolf went to the lounge to enjoy the sunshine.

Yesterday, it followed Xiong Lishi and secretly watched Lei Fazun's gladiatorial combat. Although Xiong Lishi was full of confidence and said it was a piece of cake, it learned early this morning that Xiong Lishi had gone out to find the investors behind him and was not in the arena, which made it a little anxious.

Sudden.

Iron Fang Demon Wolf was stunned when he saw that Li Mo had actually summoned all the maids to serve him.

Because it suffers from insomnia and its mental state has always been poor, it can only fall asleep slightly in the sunlight when served by a few familiar maids, a habit it has developed over the years.
However, the other party summoned all the maids to its side at this moment, which made it hesitate.

Li Mo noticed the wolf demon's hesitation and a hint of disdain appeared on his lips.

"There's a foul smell, it's really irritating!"

Li Mo deliberately kept his eyes closed and said with an irritated expression.

The maids fell silent and looked at the Iron Fang Demon Wolf.

The wolf demon's mouth twitched, but in the end, it had no choice but to leave unwillingly.

It wasn't until it returned to the room door that Li Mo said with satisfaction, "Hmm, the smell is gone."

Enraged, it immediately revealed a fierce look on its face.

But when he thought of the feeling of being struck by lightning yesterday, the ferocity in his eyes turned into fear, so in the end he was only angry for a moment and obediently returned to his room.

soon.

The other monsters all came to the rest room.

The demons looked at each other, and after not seeing Xiong Lishi, they all chose to remain silent and quietly enjoy the sunshine.

When the dim-witted wild boar spirit arrived, it saw that Li Mo was being served by twenty or thirty maids, and immediately became furious.

"I want food! Bring me food now!"

Upon seeing this, the maids immediately left several people to prepare food, but Li Mo snorted coldly.

"What a noisy thing! How dare it disturb my rest!"

Crack!

The lightning flashed and disappeared in an instant, blasting the raging wild boar demon away on the spot.

But compared to yesterday's Iron-Toothed Wolf, this Mud Boar was clearly much tougher and thicker. After a moment of surprise, it became enraged.

"Roar! I'll fight you to the death!"

Li Mo didn't even glance at it, casually flicking his index finger, and another bolt of lightning blasted it away.

This is, after all, just a basic, low-level spell.

The lightning bolts were not fatal to the wild boar demon; they only caused minimal superficial damage.

Unlike the Iron-Toothed Demon Wolf, this Mud Boar was incredibly stubborn, charging at Li Mo seven or eight times in a row, only to be blasted away by Li Mo each time.

The other monsters were furious.

The Black Sea Queen and another human male cultivator dared not even leave the room, seeking safety within its walls.

A snake spirit flicked its tongue and scolded.

"Thunder Punishment Venerable, don't go too far!"

Li Mo slightly opened his eyes and looked at the snake demon.

"I'm going to push you too far, so what?"

At this time.

Afu arrived panting with his dragon guards. Seeing the tense standoff, he immediately adopted a submissive posture. After learning the cause and effect, he looked at Li Mo.

"Venerable Thunder Punishment, you must understand your current status. The arena has its own rules, and you cannot act recklessly!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mo gave a soft snort.

"If you're going to deduct money, deduct it from my share of the profits."

Afu immediately brought out the ledger and deducted Li Mo's performance bonus in front of everyone, which calmed the anger of the demons somewhat.

"We'll see!"

The demons left in anger.

Li Mo sneered inwardly. He came here on a mission only to quickly become the arena's ace, gain the freedom to travel, purchase and stockpile a batch of local specialties, and leave the Lost Continent as soon as possible after completing the mission.

Instead of begging these guys to cooperate, we should just trample them underfoot.

After the demons left, Afu took small, quick steps to Li Mo's side.

"Tonight your opponents are four expensively purchased slaves from the Misty Clan. You'd better put on a good show and display the berserk nature of the Thunder Punishment Venerable. The dragon people of Xinian City now like exaggerated scenes of utter destruction, but while you're destroying everything, you also need to use different methods to create a certain..."

At this time.

The maids who had left earlier brought over several large platters of food.

The mud-covered war pig, which had already left, suddenly ran back and, ignoring the dumbfounded Li Mo, began to feast on its food with great relish.

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, completely ignoring the glutton.
