Chapter 1072 - 1072 Ten Challenges

1072 Ten Challenges

After sizing it up in a daze, Chu Nan’s gaze landed on a huge banner in the distance that was clearly projected by a virtual screen.

There were only two rows of words on that banner. It looked to be the official language of the Declan Empire.

The meaning of the larger words in the first row was very simple—the battle was the honor of a martial artist!

If he paid attention, there was a row of slightly small words below. This subtitle was the reason why Chu Nan noticed it.

The meaning of this row of small words was, “Every time you win, you’re one step closer to successfully registering!”

“Could this be what that person said just now… ‘relying on his fist to find out’?”

Chu Nan scratched his head and helplessly walked over.

In just this short distance, many battles could be seen around him. From time to time, someone would fall from the sky and be heavily injured. Then, they would quickly be carried away by the people who had long been guarding the side and looked like medical workers, as if they were already prepared.

Chu Nan was surprised.

Could it be that this scene was actually deliberately arranged by the Declan Empire?

When he walked under the banner in confusion, he immediately confirmed his guess.

Under the banner was actually a reception area that was not small. In the reception area, there were several robots responsible for entertaining them.

With the robot’s explanation and the help of some of the diagrams he saw, Chu Nan quickly understood the meaning of this reception office being set up here.

This place was indeed responsible for entertaining the young martial artists who had come to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly, but… it was not a true registration place. It was only to provide these young martial artists with a chance to know the true registration location.

As for how to obtain this opportunity…

“With every win, you will obtain more information about the registration location. The more you win, the more detailed the information you obtain. If you can win ten consecutive rounds, we will arrange for someone to send you to the registration location and let you enjoy the most honorable reception.”

Looking at the rather humane solicitous smile on the robot’s face, Chu Nan’s heart stirred and he continued to ask, “Who’s the opponent you arranged for me? Could it be someone who came to participate in the Garden Hunting Assembly this time?”

“No, the opponents arranged for you are all martial artists who have voluntarily signed up from all over the Empire.”

Hearing this answer, Chu Nan finally understood.

It seemed that this arrangement in front of them was not only a test for these participants but also a chance for the martial artists of the Declan Empire to fight them from other countries.

“That’s why the Declan Empire is being ridden in the paradise of martial artists. They actually don’t even miss such an opportunity.”

“Let me ask again. How strong are the opponents arranged for us?”

“The system only accepts the registration of the citizens of the Empire. There’s no limit to their strength. Your opponent will be casually chosen by the system from those citizens of the Empire who still maintain their health and condition.”

Chu Nan shrugged and thought to himself that this test was really interesting.

According to this, if his luck was bad, he might encounter an extremely powerful opponent in the first round.

However, this did not matter to Chu Nan. With his current strength, as long as he was not a Star-Grade Martial Artist, he could fight.

As for Star-Grade Martial Artists… even if there were thousands of Star-Grade Martial Artists in the Declan Empire, or even tens of thousands in the legends, no one would be so bored as to come here to register and participate in this thing.

“Alright, I understand. Arrange an opponent for me.”

Chu Nan did not wait long. Less than half a minute later, he received the notification.

“I’ve already arranged an opponent for you. Please head to the 179th arena.”

Under the guidance of the route given by the robot, Chu Nan walked out from the reception area in the direction of the distant surface space station. Soon, he arrived at an empty space.

At this moment, not far from this empty space, there were several pairs of martial artists fighting. In the empty space, a man with brownish-yellow skin who looked to be in his thirties was rubbing his fists.

When he saw Chu Nan walking over, his eyes lit up. He waved at him and greeted him before punching him without holding back.

Seeing his punch, Chu Nan immediately laughed.

This man’s strength could not be considered especially weak. Be it the powerful Internal Breath or fist technique posture that erupted from this punch, it could be said to be excellent. However, there was a very fatal problem—it could not cause spatial energy fluctuations at all.

In other words, this guy was at most a good fifth-stage Internal Breath Martial Artist. He was not even a Void Break Martial Artist!

With Chu Nan’s current strength, how could he take an ordinary Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist seriously? When he saw the man rushing over, his figure flashed and he slapped the man’s chest before he could react.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately fell to the ground, fainting.

A moment later, two robots entered the venue and carried the man out. Then, the personal terminal on Chu Nan’s wrist received a message.

“Congratulations on winning the first round. You have already obtained the first piece of information regarding the registration location. May I ask if you choose to receive this information now and give up on continuing the challenge, or continue to accept the challenge?”

Chu Nan did not hesitate to continue accepting the challenge.

After waiting for another minute, the wind suddenly sounded above his head and a voice fell.

“Heh, the kid from outside, come up and accept my challenge!”

Chu Nan raised his head and looked at the Void Break Martial Artist who looked to be more than 40 years old flying above his head before grinning.

Who said that the system randomly chose opponents?

He had just dealt with an Internal Breath Realm Martial Artist, and now, his opponent in the second round had become a Void Break Realm Martial Artist. Clearly, it was getting more and more difficult.

“However… what does this have to do with anything?”

Chu Nan’s figure moved and he flew into the sky.

Just as Chu Nan had expected, in fact, after he won, the opponents arranged by the system were clearly stronger than the opponents in the previous competition.

However, the degree of strength varied. Some were only slightly stronger. In fact, they could be considered opponents of the same level. Some were clearly much stronger and almost crossed an entire level.

This made no difference to Chu Nan.

The strength of these opponents gradually increased, but in the end, they only stopped at about the same level as a fourth-stage Void Break Martial Artist. Not even a fifth-stage Void Break Martial Artist appeared.

If not for the fact that he did not want to attract too much attention from the beginning and had the intention to maintain a low profile, with Chu Nan’s current strength, he could easily deal with his opponent in a very short period of time.

Under his deliberate control, it took him more than two hours to settle a total of ten competitions. In the middle, he even had the mood to stop and eat something, putting on a posture that he needed time to recover.

After the ten rounds ended, the system did not arrange the next round for Chu Nan. Instead, a robot appeared and led him out of the arena and back to the reception.

There were a few large low-altitude floating shuttles parked behind the reception area. The robot directly led Chu Nan to one of them.

“Congratulations, young martial artist. This shuttle will bring you to the registration area of the Garden Hunting Assembly. I wish you a satisfactory journey in the empire.”

Chu Nan waved at the robot and got into the shuttle.

As soon as he entered the huge cabin of the shuttle, several gazes filled with intense hostility immediately shot over.
