17 Chapter 16: Great Spirit Arena (First Part)

In Front of the Great Spirit Arena, a young boy clad in white robe had mysteriously appeared out of thin air. The boy wore a white mask that covered his entire face. Walking towards the registration office, Nian Zhen saw an old man behind the registration desk.

"I would like to register as a fighter. Here is the fee." Nian Zhen said indifferently. Not even glancing at him, the old man said, "This isn't a place for kids. Go play somewhere else."

An intense killing intent spread from Nian Zhen's body which made the old man feel deep fear and pressure.

"..stop...I am sorry...I said I am sorry…." The old man tried to shout for help but no words came out of his mouth.

"Please stop." An old voice came from behind Nian Zhen. Glancing behind him, Nian Zhen saw an old man wearing a black suit.

"I hope the boy can take back his killing intent.." The old man said, wiping off the sweat beads on his forehead. He could never understand how a boy around the age of 12-13 could have such killing intent. Hardly any fighters in the Spirit Arena had such killing intent.

"Who are you?" Nian Zhen asked coldly, taking back his killing intent. Some guards had arrived and took away the now unconscious old man.

"I am the manager of this Arena. You can call me manager Ao." Manager Ao said, handing out his business card to Nian Zhen.

"Hmm. I would like to register. I can, can't I?" Nian Zhen said with a slight chill on his voice. Due to the influence of his Fallen Archangel Soul and the fact that he killed many beings, Nian Zhen's mood was now getting affected.

Nian Zhen had already asked about this situation with Enron. Enron had said that for now, no major issues are seen. But it is recommended for Nian Zhen to obtain the Death God Domain as soon as possible. This will let Nian Zhen have some control over his killing intent.

Regarding his cursed energy, due to it being a type of energy from a whole new world, it was impossible to access it if not for the Cursed Demon Dragons core. This allowed him to change the spirit energy he absorbs into cursed energy allowing him to use his Cursed Energy Manipulation Techniques effectively.

"Then I would like Sir to give me his name." Manager Ao said. He was a wise and calculating man. He had already analyzed some of Nian Zhen's power. Due to this he wanted to win the favor of Nian Zhen as soon as possible so he could gain more power.

"I don't have a name. Just keep my name Northern Warrior for now. Martial Soul Scythe, Spirit Rank level 55, Attack and Agility Dual-System." Nian Zhen said calmly without even giving Manager Ao's shocked face a glance.

"Level...Level 55 you say…!?" Manager Ao said in terror. Even if the Nian Zhen may have not said it, how could he not guess that Nian Zhen was just around 13-14 years old. A 14 year old Spirit King. This would shake the entire continent if passed out.

What Manager Ao did not know was that Nian Zhen had just reached the tender age of 11.

"Northern Warrior…? Ok. This is your identity token. This proves that you are eligible to enter an arena match. Would you like to immediately start a match?" Manager Ao asked.

"Yes, as fast as possible. And if you can match me up with someone stronger than me and make it a Life and Death match" Nian Zhen said, walking towards the waiting area.

"....Yes." Manager Ao said before hurrying off to make some preparations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And now we have a new fighter who has just joined us today. He will be fighting in a life and death match with the ferocious Shikona. Will the new warrior survive his first match and make a name for himself or will he Rest In Peace?" The commentator designated for Nian Zhen's match was enthusiastically spouting things.

"Shikona!!" "Shikona!!" "Shikona!!!"

A deafening cheer for Shikona was heard around the arena. Everyone had already considered Shikona as the winner.

[Host. I didn't know Human's were so stupid. None of them could even think that if you have the guts to enter a life and death match as your first match, you would at least have the strength and confidence to win this match.]

"You are not wrong but it is also because of my opponent's influence. I am a new fighter. Obviously I won't have much influence on them. Shikona must be a veteran in the Arena that's why he is influential and makes people believe that he would definitely win any match. Well, I am about to completely annihilate him though." Nian Zhen said with a cold smile on his face.

*Knock**knock*

"Sir, please move to platform number 4 for your match." An attendant's voice was heard from outside.

"Okay. I will be there." Nian Zhen replied. Putting on his mask, Nian Zhen went towards the entry gate for Platform no. 4.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let's give a round of applause for the New Warrior from the North. Please welcome the Northern Warrior!!" The commentator said signaling towards the east gate.

A white figure came out of the gate. All of a sudden, the whole arena went into an uproar.

"Is that a little boy? What is he doing here? You are implying that that boy is a level 55 Spirit King!??"

"Definitely not a young boy. Must be a dwarf or some old man with short height." A man said.

"That's body shaming dude…" His friend said.

"This…." The Commentator was at a loss of words. He too felt a little strange when he looked at Nian Zhen. Manager Ao had said that the Northern Warrior was a rather strong person but he didn't expect the person to be this small.

"Ahem...now I present to you your favorite, Shikona!!!!" as soon as he said that, the entire arena boiled up with loud cheers and screams.

A huge figure came out of the western gate. The figure had an extremely buff build. With brown skin and a bushy mustache and short beard, Shikona looked extremely menacing. Completely exposing his upper body while wearing red trousers below, Shikona appeared to be around the age of 50. According to the information given by Manager Ao, Shikona is stuck at level 61 for years now.

"A perfect opponent huh. Sad that he will die today." Nian Zhen sighed.

[It's uncomfortable to see a newly introduced character die, isn't it?]

"Yes. For now I am gonna end this man's whole career." Nian Zhen said coldly.
