"What kind of price can you offer for winning the duel?"

"Asking like that, does he intend to go on stage?"

"No way, didn't he just see how formidable that Flame Horn Race member is?"

...

Lin Qi's inquiry left the people of Chasing Light City puzzled, not understanding what the new Deputy City Lord intended to do.

"Is he really planning to go on stage?" Wu Zhuoqun looked at Lin Qi, his brows slightly furrowing.

"Ridiculous! It's utterly ridiculous!" Elder Xiang's expression was anxious, "Those Holy Blood Mercenary Corps members are not easy to deal with! Why is a young man running around stirring up trouble!"

Tu An's power is undeniably strong, he's not someone that top-level Bone Forging Realm experts who master extraordinary martial techniques can handle.

If Lin Qi were to go up, it would be certain death.

"Hall Master Lin, are you planning to step onto the arena?" Diroya was surprised to hear Lin Qi, a bit taken aback.

Despite being young, Lin Qi is already a top-level Bone Forging Realm expert mastering extraordinary martial techniques, with a limitless future ahead. His coming was merely a formality, Diroya never expected him to contribute.

The Human Race has long been declining in Chasing Light City, and their influence is continuously diminishing. Even if Chasing Light City changes hands, it wouldn't greatly impact the Human Race, much less Lin Qi, the newly appointed Deputy City Lord, who hasn't even received any city resources yet. No one would criticize him if he didn't come today.

"I was just curious and wanted to ask." Lin Qi faced Diroya's passionate gaze and simply smiled.

He had no intention of participating in this city dispute, as it wasn't a life-and-death battle between two cities. No matter who rules Chasing Light City, it wouldn't affect his Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

Not to mention, he wasn't familiar with City Lord Diroya, and had no reason to help.

But the bounty offered by City Lord Diroya tempted him.

Five thousand energy crystal stones, a profit players couldn't even obtain after days of plundering in the Wraith Mountain Range, and Lin Qi was desperately short of energy crystal stones.

Building a Cultivation Tower alone requires a thousand energy crystal stones, not to mention upgrading from advanced to special-level Martial Arts Hall, unlocking the Intermediate Gravity Room, which requires a huge amount of energy crystal stones.

Renovating the Intermediate Gravity Room first requires a room made of B6-level alloy, and the renovation doesn't use energy units anymore but directly switches to energy crystal stones. Each room costs five hundred energy crystal stones, and each hour of usage costs two energy crystal stones, practically faster than robbery.

Of course, the Intermediate Gravity Room is really powerful, the Basic Gravity Room's maximum gravity environment is twenty times, while the Intermediate Gravity Room is three hundred times.

Three hundred times gravity would crush Bone Forging Realm martial artists outright, and if used to enhance the Body Strengthening Secret Technique, the efficiency would be amazing.

The second layer of the Body Strengthening Secret Technique had stagnated at 20% entry for too long, while his actual level had reached 54% entry, yet without a sufficient gravity environment, it wouldn't improve.

Building the Intermediate Gravity Room with B6-level alloy was straightforward, players could directly dismantle various scrapped B6-level battle armor and weapons and use them, or they could go deep into the Wilderness Area for Rem Titanium and trade with the Half-Beast Race in Myriad Stars City, using a Flying Transport Vehicle to bring people to mine.

But the energy crystal stone was a real problem, it couldn't be solved by mining small energy ore veins or selling sausages to Donna.

After listening, Diroya couldn't help but laugh, saying: "If someone truly wins the duel, I can offer an additional reward of one hundred thousand energy crystal stones."

He held no hope that anyone in Chasing Light City could defeat Tu An, believing only someone from the Domain City could do it, and his offer was one hundred thousand energy crystal stones.

He didn't mind telling everyone this, giving some incentive to the various races in Chasing Light City. That way, participating in the duel could be more motivated.

When the audience heard this, they gasped in surprise, even the Bone Forging Realm experts from Star Tower City were tempted and considered challenging Tu An.

"One hundred thousand energy crystal stones, you really are generous," Hu Lei said, marveling at Diroya's boldness.

One hundred thousand energy crystal stones, if it weren't for identity limitations, he would have intervened.

"Without giving, there's no gain," Diroya said, glancing at Tu An on the arena, "And I don't think hiring the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps cost you any less."

After the chaos of the Red Moon, the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps became famous in the Mist Mountain Region, and regular forces couldn't afford them.

If he could hire the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps for one hundred thousand energy crystal stones, he wouldn't hesitate.

"Even if you offer a higher reward, it's pointless," Hu Lei smiled, "Tu An's skills aren't something those Bone Forging Realm martial artists, confined to cities, can contend with. No matter how many come up, it'd only be courting death."

The Holy Blood Mercenary Corps members behind Hu Lei nodded in agreement.

Martial artists in the city mainly engage in battles against monsters in the wild, usually with a group hunting a single monster.

But the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps is different; its formal members are all composed of the Flame Horn Race.

Living outdoors constantly, they spend almost every day in slaughter, never engaging in group hunts. Each one fights individually against monsters, subjected to rigorous training, living closely with death.
