Chapter 210 Lockblade
Every day at the highest point of the day, a grand gladiatorial battle is held to harvest the spiritual power and souls of all living beings.
As night falls, they burrow deep underground to build their hidden lair.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Thor was immersed in the scalding lava, but unusually, he did not dive down. Instead, he looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and focused his attention on the spinning wheel in his mind.
After deducting the consumption, the essence accumulated over the past month or so still has more than 10,000 points left.
This number was less than he had expected on the first day, partly because the subsequent contestants became more cautious, and partly because the audience's emotions were no longer as intense as they had been initially.
After all, this is like riding a roller coaster; the thrill is usually strongest the first time. The second and third times, while you'll still feel excited, the emotional fluctuations will be much smaller.
Fortunately, this was within Thor's expectations, so he wasn't worried about it.
After all, no one is a first-timer forever, but there will always be people in this world who are willing to try again. Once these "leeks" (victims) get tired of being exploited and their value is squeezed dry, we'll just replace them with a new batch of "leeks." It's no big deal.
Thor didn't intend to continue accumulating these 10,000+ essence points. Instead, he wanted to draw a high-level monster template in advance as a backup.
If everything goes smoothly, it will be integrated with the Ancient Dragon template that will be drawn next. If something unexpected happens, it can be loaded in advance so that we can break through to Legendary status first.
As soon as Thor had the thought, the number on his Essence Balance instantly evaporated by one digit. Ten thousand points of Essence transformed into a galaxy that echoed the sky above, roaring into the fifth level of the roulette wheel.
The neon-like light flashed, and Thor's attention followed it. When it stopped, a horned behemoth surrounded by chain blades was depicted in silver and black on the small square it covered.
Congratulations! You have obtained the [Cloth Blade Dragon Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.
The unfamiliar monster startled Thor for a moment before he realized it was a new creature introduced in the Wilderness update.
This is a flying dragon-type monster that is about 20 meters long and covered with a silver carapace.
Its face looks very fierce, with small eyes hidden in the gaps of its mask, an upward-curving horn on each side of its cheek, and a thick ring of silver-gray mane around its neck.
Its thick limbs are covered with sharp claws, and the wing membranes extending from its forelimbs are also covered with long, silvery-gray fur.
What's most peculiar is that on each side of its forepaws grows a thick, long, lock-blade-like tentacle made of hard, multi-bone and carapace structure, connected by a thin, tough "tendon," which is also the origin of its name.
These are actually its powerful hunting organs. It uses these locking blades to entangle and bind its prey, absorb the energy from their bodies, and is never picky about food, accepting anything from water, fire, ice, and lightning.
This is undoubtedly a very powerful monster, and its special abilities are no less than those of some ancient dragons for Thor.
If combined with his constitution, which is gradually transformed after consuming large amounts of ether crystals, it will definitely have an effect far greater than 2.
This almost made him want to click to withdraw the money on the spot, but he managed to resist thanks to his stubborn will.
Having prepared for so long, I can't just give up halfway. Maybe the Gu Long template will bring me an even bigger surprise.
It wasn't until the night passed that Thor's excitement subsided. Dragging his slightly bloated body, he leaped out of the lava and flew once again toward the huge arena not far away.
It's that time of year again for the points rankings to be settled.
Unlike before, after more than a month of competition, the first place with over 100 points will likely be decided today.
Therefore, the arena was much more lively than usual that day. When Thor's towering figure landed on the obsidian throne, the surrounding stands were already mostly filled with spectators.
Large, medium, and small creatures of different sizes obediently stayed in the places they had designated for themselves.
In the beginning, there were some clueless guys who fought over front-row seats for a better viewing experience, and some even got into physical fights.
In this situation, Saul always adopted a one-size-fits-all approach, arresting and enslaving everyone regardless of who was right or wrong.
It's like two sheep in your sheepfold fighting. You wouldn't try to reason with them, would you? You'd rather give each sheep a few lashes. If they still don't learn their lesson, then cook them all.
The arena has already made a name for itself, and there are some wealthy people among the audience.
Is it feasible to start implementing a ticketing system and price-sell some locations with better views?
They could even begin to build a second and third arena and classify them.
For example, there are beginner arenas specifically for matches with a score of 50 or less, intermediate arenas for matches with a score of 100 or less, and the final arena that only those with a score of 100 or more are qualified to enter.
The basic level is free to attract more viewers, the intermediate level requires tickets, and the final level requires a certain level of spending to enter; those without money can only watch the broadcast.
Yes, this world has magical items such as sound transmission stones and image retention stones, as well as telepathy, projection magic, and illusion-type broadcasting spells.
Although Thor himself didn't know how, he believed that with a little "money," he could easily get a skilled mage to produce a live broadcast according to his specifications.

This not only allows for a larger audience, but also enables the production of disc-like content for widespread distribution.
Once the hype grows, he can even package some outstanding participants, creating star athletes by referencing the methods used in fighting events in his previous life.
In this way, both reputation and attractiveness will surely increase further, and one can gain a lot of wealth as a result.
Once the entire system is on track, even if it goes into a dormant state, it can still operate according to its predetermined trajectory, preventing the loss of popularity due to a huge downtime.
Numerous thoughts flashed through Thor's mind: the red dragon hatchlings had an intelligence of over 12 points from birth, far surpassing the average human intelligence of 10 points.
When they really want to seriously consider certain problems and come up with solutions, it is actually quite easy.
However, the irritability flowing in their veins and the surging power within them often lead them, especially before old age, to prefer a more relaxed approach.
Although Thor can be quite irritable at times due to the difference in his soul, he is able to remain calm most of the time.
Furthermore, the addition of numerous monster templates and the enhancement of his mental strength made it easier for him to control his bloodline power, thus revealing—
The results are slightly different.
Just as he was pondering what would happen next, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted from all around. The player with the highest current ranking was about to take the stage.
