Chapter 543: Colloseum 1
"Do the fellow immortals want to register?" A female clerk asked, looking at Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, and Zhou Xuan.
"This is our first time entering the colloseum." Zhou Xuan said and the female nodded.
After that, each of the three paid one thousand immortal stones and received an iron warrior badge.
"The iron warrior is the lowest rank in our colloseum." The female said and quickly continued.
"You need to win one thousand matches to upgrade your rank from iron to bronze warrior." She said.
"Consecutive matches?" Shen Xu asked and the female couldn’t help but be shocked.
’This man is beautiful but his brain is a little slow.’ She thought.
After all, the colloseum had existed for countless years but no one had ever won one hundred consecutive matches.
"Not consecutive." She explained and continued.
"However, losing three consecutive matches will incur a penalty." She said.
"Immortal stones?" Zhou Xuan asked but the female cultivator shook her head.
"A deduction of five points from your accumulative wins." She said.
As it turned out, one iron warrior rank win amounted to one point.
Therefore, a deduction of five points meant that one had won five fights for nothing.
"How many ranks are there?" Shen Xu asked but the female cultivator didn’t answer.
Instead, she smiled and removed a jade square from her desk drawer.
"This jade contains information about the colloseum. It details the ranks, types of fights, and more." She said.
"How much?" Zhou Xuan asked.
"Ten immortal stones." The female said.
After paying for the jade square, Zhou Xuan led Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan to stand a few metres from the registration desk.
"Let’s read it first." He said.
From the jade square, the three learned that there were six warrior ranks: iron, bronze, silver, gold, diamond, and purple.
Additionally, the purple rank was divided into three levels: one star, two stars, and three stars.
So far, the colloseum had fewer than two hundred one-star purple warriors, a dozen two-star purple warriors, but no three-star purple warriors.
’It seems that becoming a three-star purple warrior is like leaping over the dragon gate.’ Shen Xu thought and began looking at the requirements.
The upgrade from to iron to bronze, from bronze to silver, from silver to gold, and from gold to diamond, required one thousand wins at each level.
However, the penalties were different.
In the iron rank, three consecutive losses would incur a penalty of five points.
Similarly, three consecutive losses in the bronze rank would incur a penalty of ten points, twenty points in the silver rank, and fifty points in the gold rank.
As for the upgrade from diamond to purple, one required a cumulative one thousand wins but that was not all.
Within the one thousand wins, there should be at least one, ten-wins streak.
Because of this requirement, many powerful cultivators were stuck between the diamond and purple ranks even after accumulating one thousand wins.
Finally, the purple levels were all about consecutive wins.
The one-star level required ten consecutive wins, the two-stars required one hundred, and the three-stars required one thousand.
"I now understand why it’s so difficult to become a three-stars purple warrior." Shen Xu said and Zhou Xuan nodded.
"A person who can win one thousand consecutive matches is enough to dominate the lower heaven." He said.
After that, Shen Xu and the others learned that the colloseum had three types of matches: solo matches, double matches, and group matches.
"I will register for a solo match." Zhou Xuan said and turned to the two.
"What about you?" He asked.
"Solo and double matches." Shen Xu said and Zhou Xuan nodded.
After that, the three returned to the registration table and communicated their intentions.
"You need to register a warrior name if you want to enter a match." The female clerk said.
"A warrior name? A nickname?" Zhou Xuan asked and the female nodded.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuan fell silent with a thoughtful expression.
A moment later, he raised his head and looked at the female.
"I want to use the name ’sword’." He said but the female shook her shook her head.
"Most of the common names have already been registered. You should think of something unique." She advised and Shen Xu couldn’t help but but frown.
He originally wanted to use the name ’flame’.
After all, he was a chaos fire spiritual root cultivator, and ’flame’ epitomised that.
However, after listening to the female attendant, he realised that such a common name would likely not be available.
Still, he couldn’t help but ask.
"Has the name ’flame’ already been taken?" He asked and as expected, the female nodded.
"What about ’Law’?" Zhen Yuan asked.
"That one is available." The female said and turned to Zhen Yuan.
"Should I register it for you?" She asked asked the man nodded.
"Thank you." He said.
With that, the female cultivator took Zhen Yuan’s iron badge and used a special inscription brush to engrave the word ’Law’.
"That’s it." She said, returning the badge to the owner.
"How about ’Unrivalled Hammer’?" Shen Xu asked and the female cultivator forcibly suppressed a smile.
Doubles weren’t native to the immortal realm. Because of this, people viewed Shen Xu as a delicate and petite male cultivator.
Looking at Shen Xu’s beautiful appearance and thinking of the domineering name he had chosen, the female cultivator almost burst out laughing.
"Are you sure?" She finally asked and the double nodded.
"I am sure." He said.
With that, Shen Xu’s alias became ’the Unrivalled Hammer’ and he happily took his badge back.
"Roaring sword." Zhou Xuan suddenly said.
"’Roaring sword’, is it available?" He asked and the female nodded.
After registering, the female cultivator entered their aliases in the day’s fight pools.
"The waiting hall is over there. You can rest there and wait for your aliases to come up." The female cultivator said, pointing to an open door.
After tipping ten immortal stones, the three left the registration area and went to the waiting room.
