The bald man who had been sent flying by the Barber crawled up from the ground. He wasn't an idiot, and he knew exactly how strong his body was. The fact that his opponent was able to send him flying in an instant meant that he couldn't afford to provoke him.
He turned to leave, crestfallen.
"Stop," the Barber barked.
The bald man turned back, trying to look fierce. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I should be the one asking you that," the barber said lazily.
Do you know where we are? "
The bald man's eyes flashed. "Skyfire Avenue."
The Barber said, "If you know, then why did you break the rules?"
The bald man growled, "I didn't break the rules. What rule on Skyfire Avenue says you can't go against traffic?"
The Barber's face lit up with understanding. "So you knew you were going against traffic!
That's good.
You're right, there's no rule against going against traffic.
But that was in the past. From now on, there's a rule.
Because I said it.
I'll report it to the Skyfire Avenue Committee.
And your malicious actions today will be punished. "
The bald man's face fell. "Nonsense, what right do you have to convict me?" As he spoke, he turned and ran.
The Barber curled his lip in disdain. "Major League guys are so brainless.
Let's go. "
As he spoke, he continued forward, as if he didn't care about the bald man's departure.
Lan Jue and the beautician didn't look in that direction either.
The bald man rushed into the crowd. After running for a while, he turned his head to see that the young soldier hadn't caught up. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Come with us."
A middle-aged man in a grey suit with his hands in his trouser pockets had appeared beside him out of nowhere and said calmly.
The bald brute was shocked. "Who are you people?" Around him, seven or eight gray-robed men had already silently surrounded them.
"Skyfire Avenue Enforcement Team," the middle-aged man said impatiently.
"What right do you have to capture me?" The bald man's muscles began to swell rapidly.
The grey-clothed middle-aged man sighed and said, "Why don't you have eyes?
Why didn't you bump into anyone?
He had nothing better to do than to find trouble with the barber.
You're lucky. It seems like the barber is in a good mood today. Otherwise, do you think we would still need to catch you? "
As he spoke, a ray of light suddenly flashed in his hand. The bald man groaned and fell to the ground.
"Take him away."
Lan Jue's face betrayed his interest as he looked at the domed building in front of him. "This is my first time here.
This is called the Arena of Life and Death, right? "
The barber smiled at him and said, "That's right."
The Arena of Life and Death was a place for Adepts who had a grudge against each other to duel. The duels here were very fair. After both sides signed a life and death contract, the victor would be decided. Life and death were decreed by fate, and no one was allowed to seek revenge. Some people with deep backgrounds and deep grudges were willing to fight in the Arena of Life and Death, which was guaranteed by the Skyfire Avenue Committee.
Among them, the number of people who made bets was the highest.
That was why business here had always been good.
Lan Jue also smiled. "I suddenly feel a little better.
Barber, you see, we're all people of status. We're nobles, and we don't fight casually.
Why don't we make a bet? "
The barber was taken aback. "You want to bet with me?"
Lan Jue smiled. "That's right!"
The barber clapped his hands together and laughed, "That's great. How did you know I like this kind of stuff?
Aiyaya, you really are a committee member. You know my heart too well.
Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I've taken a fancy to that fire spirit diamond in your shop, the one that's fifty carats. But I'm short on cash.
We're not that close, and I'm too embarrassed to ask you for it. "
Lan Jue's face lit up with understanding. "I see. You should've said so earlier.
We're both committee members, and I can make the decision to give you a discount.
But from the looks of it, you don't want to spend the money? "
The barber nodded solemnly.
The Beautician grinned from the side. "Since you've asked me to be the judge, then I must uphold justice. I must make this fair.
Little Clippers, if you want the fire spirit diamond, you'll have to offer something of equal value. "
"Of course," the barber replied. "I've always been honest.
Jewelry Master, what do you think of this? "
As he spoke, the barber reached into his clothes. In the next moment, something appeared in his hand.
It was a piece of metal the size of a palm. Its surface glowed with a dreamy luster, almost as if it were emitting a rainbow of colors.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. "This is a fair bet," she said without hesitation.
The piece of metal the barber had brought out had a beautiful name. Rainbow Silver. It was extremely conductive, and its value was even higher than Essence.
It could conduct most Disciplines.
While it could conduct most Esper Abilities, as long as a little Rainbow Silver was mixed into the alloy, the Esper weapon created would have the effect of amplifying Esper Abilities.
The value of this palm-sized piece of Rainbow Silver was even greater than the fierydragon diamond the barber wanted.
?
Essence could be mined on certain planets, but Rainbow Silver was a matter of luck. It was exceedingly difficult to collect, and only a few special metals would produce a trace of it.
Collecting it was exceedingly difficult.
The barber handed the piece of Rainbow Silver to the Beautician. "Then it's settled."
As he spoke, he led the way into the Arena of Life and Death.
The Arena of Life and Death wasn't just a single arena, but several. From the outside, the building wasn't particularly large, but the arenas within were all equipped with spatial technology.
Anyone who came here to request a Arena of Life and Death or a friendly match only had to pay a fee, and a staff member would act as a judge. After registration and recording, the fight could begin.
As members of the Skyfire Avenue committee, Lan Jue's group naturally didn't need to pay a fee to use the Arena of Life and Death.
Moreover, they were using the highest level of arenas available.
This was a necessity in a contest between the strongest.
The barber had requested a friendly match. Although he was a committee member, he still needed to register and record his request.
As for the bet, it was done privately. If the Arena of Life and Death was used as a judge, the winner would have to pay a ten percent commission.
"Jewelry Master, we don't need to give them a commission, do we?" The barber asked Lan Jue with a shrug.
Lan Jue smiled. "As you wish."
