18 Chapter 18: Tian Dou Great Battle Arena

Tian Dou Hotel, 3rd Floor, Room 35.

The hotel room that Shirou rented had a size of 150 square meters with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a drink bar room as well as a lounge room. As soon as Shirou and Lily arrived at their room, Shirou immediately prepared dinner for the two of them to eat because the two of them were not very satisfied with the food they both ate while sightseeing in Tian Dou City.

After eating together, Shirou went straight to his room and cleaned his whole body. After he was done, Shirou immediately changed into his sportswear with a white robe that covered his entire body and took out a mask that he had bought during his sightseeing in Tian Dou City with Lily earlier.

"Meow~" Lily who saw Shirou's appearance became curious.

"Hmm~" Shirou who saw Lily staring at him with marketing immediately walked closer to Lily and squatted down in front of Lily who was lying on the bed and immediately stroked her head,

"Lily, be a good girl, ok? I want to go to the Tian Dou battle arena to go try fighting there." Shirou said softly.

"Meow~" Lily's face slightly pouted as she probably wouldn't be taken down by Shirou.

Shirou smiled and said, "Sorry, I can't take you there. No one can help me to look after you until the two of us are there. Besides, there are many Soul Masters gathered at that location, it would be very dangerous for you to appear in public."

"Meow~" Lily immediately nodded and understood Shirou's words.

"Be a good girl and wait for me to come home, ok? If you do like that, I will take you back for a walk tomorrow to have a look at Tian Dou City."

Lily's eyes immediately got excited hearing Shirou's words, she nodded excitedly as she said back, "Meow~"

"Hmm~ Has the effect of the cultivation speed-enhancing pill worn off?" Shirou asked curiously.

"Meow~" Lily nodded.

Hearing this answer, Shirou immediately took out a blue pill from his storage room. The moment the blue pill came out of the storage room, the smell of the pill instantly covered the entire bedroom that Shirou and Lily occupied. Luckily the room was covered in this which kept the smell of the pills from coming out of the room.

"Here, you can eat it right away." Shirou directly handed the pill to Lily.

"Meow~" Lily was very happy to receive the pill Shirou gave her and jumped directly onto Shirou's shoulder and licked Shirou's cheek.

After being satisfied with licking Shirou's cheek, Lily came back down from her shoulder and immediately ate the pill Shirou had given her. Lily immediately walked towards the top of the bed and immediately took the blanket and covered her whole body with the blanket on the bedroom bed.

Seeing this, Shirou immediately got up from his position and walked towards the bedroom window, opened it slightly, and immediately walked out of the room where he lived while closing the door so that no one would disturb Lily who was practicing inside. Arriving outside the room, Shirou immediately put on the mask in his hand and walked straight to the Tian Dou Battle Arena.

Tian Dou City, Tian Dou Battle Arena.

The Battle Arena is a building that is usually used for Soul Masters to compete to show their strength. Apart from displaying the power they possessed, this battle arena was also a very suitable location to become a money-making field for Soul Masters who had no power standing behind them.

The Battle Arena itself is located in various cities on the Douluo continent. Starting from the cities in the Heaven Dou Empire, Wuhun City which was the central point of the Douluo continent or the biggest power in the Douluo continent, as well as the cities in the Star Lou Empire, all of them had Battle Arenas. Because this Battle Arena is very important for Soul Masters to increase their abilities while making money.

In every city, the Battle Arena was usually built in the middle of the city because it would be entertainment for the citizens living within the city to see the Soul Masters display their power. Every day the Battle Arena will always be open from 6.00 Pm to 05.00 Am.

This also does not escape the Battle Arena in Tian Dou City. The Battle Arena in Tian Dou City was at the central point of Tian Dou City or not too far from Heaven Dou Empire's castle. The Tian Dou Battle Arena building is very large because it has many battle arenas and various other things to offer in it.

Arriving inside the Tian Dou Battle Arena, Shirou went straight to the information section. In the information area, one of the employees who saw the arrival of someone wearing a robe and mask did not have a strange look because indeed many people who often came to the Tian Dou Battle Arena would cover their identities.

The employee smiled as he said, "Hello, sir. Is there anything we can help with?"

Shirou nodded and said hoarsely, "I just came to the Battle Arena for the first time, may I have information about the battle arena?"

The employee nodded and said, "In this Battle Arena only someone who has become a Great Soul Master level Soul Master can register to fight. The registration fee itself is 10 gold soul coins which can be done at the counter on the right side 50 meters from this place." The employee immediately pointed with his hand at the registration counter which Shirou could also see clearly.

"Once a person has registered, that person will receive an emblem proving that he/she has registered in that battle arena and that person's emblem will be able to be used in any battle arena. Emblems consist of several levels, namely Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Ruby, Sapphire, and finally Diamond. The moment one is about to register, one will first obtain the Iron Emblem"

The employee paused slightly and held up the emblem on his side for Shirou to see. When finished, the Employee pulled the emblem again and continued, "To level up the Emblem, one must participate in the battles in the Battle Arena in a system of winning 1 point and losing will be deducted 1 point. To advance to the Copper emblem level, one must at least have a total of 100 points or more and to advance to the Silver level requires 1000 points or more. For more complete provisions on how many points are needed, sir, you can directly look at the brochure on the side"

Shirou immediately turned his attention to the brochure and saw how many points he had to collect to get a higher emblem. Copper requires 100 points, Silver requires 1000 points, Gold requires 5000 points, Purple Gold requires 10,000 points, Ruby requires 50,000 points, Sapphire requires 100,000 points, and finally Diamond requires 1,000,000 points.

After Shirou looked at the flyer, Shirou turned his attention back to the employee and said hoarsely, "This number of points isn't too much?"

The employee shook his head and said, "That's a predetermined number of points long ago sir. In the battle itself, it was true that the number of points that would be earned each time one won was only one. However, it was different from the one who could calm down consecutive battles. Those people will get an increase in earning point amount. Like if someone wins five times in a row, at the time of that person's sixth victory, he will get 10 points for the wins he gets, furthermore if someone wins 10 times in a row, that person will get an additional 100 soul points that person can win in his fight to eleven and so on"

"I see" Shirou nodded and asked again, "Then, what are the benefits for people who can raise the emblem to a high level? I'm sure there must be a big enough reward to make a lot of people have the intention of upgrading their emblem in this battle area, right?"

The employee smiled and said, "Right, sir. The level of the emblem also affects how much income he gets every time he wins in a match he does. At the time when one was only at the Iron level, that person would only get 10 gold soul coins every time he won a match made by him. The next level is the Copper emblem, every time this person wins in the match he does, this person will be able to get 20 gold soul coins for the match he did and for the next upgrade, Master can do the calculation by calculating the amount of increase in income by adding 10 coins golden souls of every grade."

"An increase of 10 gold soul coins each level? So it's true, this battle arena is a very suitable location for civilians who don't have a background to make an income. Especially if they're talented in fighting, it wouldn't be a dream to be able to make a lot of money through this battle arena." Shirou thought casually as he also thought about making money through this battle arena. Moreover, Shirou was very optimistic about the strength he had by assuming that at his current level even two levels above his level, no one could compete with him.

"Apart from the above benefits, if one has reached the Silver emblem level, that person can participate in the battles in the main arena. By the time that person has reached the battle in the main arena, many things can be obtained such as honor, status, and also various things because many nobles often watch the fight." The employee resumed.

" Nobles? Hmm~ Could it be that Uncle Ning and Grandpa Sword also often come to watch the fight for a good seed to join the Sect? Well~ Surely all of them do that, but if you think about all the Sects in the Douluo continent, I feel that the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect is the best Sect to join than the other Sects. But, forget all that, I'm also not interested in joining any power, let alone many obligations and responsibilities after joining a Sect."

Shirou sighed as he looked back at the employee and said, "Earlier you were talking about the match. In this battle arena, how many types of matches can a person have?"

"The Battle Arena has three types of matches that one can play, normal matches, life and death matches, and finally gambling matches. For each day, one can only compete for a maximum of one time. However, it is different from people who participate in life and deathmatches. That person can be free to play matches in that one day until he dies or continue to win and no longer wants to continue the match he wants."

Shirou who was covered in a mask frowned, "A match of life and death? Forget it~ I would never take this type of match. I came to this Battle Arena only to increase my fighting experience and not to kill someone, while also enjoying my free time until the Furnace I requested was finished and Uncle Ning finished looking for the ingredients needed to make the Evolution Pill. After that, I will immediately take Lily to the Star Dou Forest."

"Master, do you still have any questions?" The employee asked carefully because he didn't want to offend a Soul Master, moreover, many Soul Masters had a temper that was very difficult to control their emotions and also had a certain arrogance that even slightly offending them would be fatal. Moreover, the employee was just an ordinary civilian employed by the Battle Arena and not a Soul Master.

Shirou shook his head and said, "No, the information you provided is sufficient. Thank you." Shirou immediately turned around and walked towards the reception counter to register for the match in this battle arena.
