The Sky Arena boasts 251 levels and stands 991 meters tall, making it the fourth tallest building in the world.

The tower is filled with combat arenas, with the goal to advance by tens of levels up to the 200th floor—progress reserved for victors only.

Audiences from all around the world exceed one billion annually, and each day over four thousand challengers queue at the registration desk to sign up.

The competition operates on a PKO system, where scoring ten points or successfully knocking out an opponent leads to victory.

Clean Hit: An impressive attack awards one point.

Critical Hit: An exceptionally impressive attack awards two points.

Down: If an opponent is floored and only stands up after the referee's countdown, a point is awarded.

Accumulating ten points equals victory by TKO.

All competitors must first display their prowess on the first level, as judges allocate floor assignments based on three minutes of combat performance.

The stronger the ability, the higher the starting level assigned, saving the time of fighting up each level—a very humane arrangement.

Beyond the 100th floor, one can gain access to a private room, although a defeat resulting in a fall below that level results in room confiscation.

Warriors ascending to the 200th floor are allotted luxury rooms.

Moreover, the prize money offered by the Sky Arena is extremely tempting, with earnings corresponding to the number of levels conquered.

Reaching the 100th floor yields a reward of approximately one million Jenny, while surpassing the 150th level promises over ten million Jenny.

Victory on the challenging 190th level secures an immense prize of two hundred million Jenny.

Beyond this level, there are no more bonuses to be won, it's all about fighting for honor.

At the registration desk of the Sky Arena, Abel was carefully reviewing the promotional brochure in his hand, which detailed the various rules and the rights of the competitors.

Anyone who read it through would basically understand the rules.

However, some things were not mentioned in the brochure.

Abel put away the brochure and flashed a charming smile, causing the front desk lady to blush uncontrollably.

"May I ask, the brochure mentions that each floor from the 230th to 250th is owned by a 'floor master.' What are the conditions to reside on the 251st floor?"

"Of course, I have one more hour before my shift ends. Ah, I mean, are you asking about the conditions to stay on the 251st floor?"

"Yes, it's not written here, so I wanted to ask."

The lady's face turned even redder, almost steaming; she thought the reason he stood beside her for so long was to ask her out.

Embarrassed and somewhat disappointed, she wished she could just disappear into a crack in the floor.

Just then, a few disdainful chuckles came from nearby.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious? A newcomer who has never fought in the Sky Arena actually dreams of reaching the top? That's just laughable!"

"Do you know why the brochure doesn't mention such things? It's because 99.99% of the warriors who register here every day never come close to that level."

"That's right, wait until you can fight up to the 200th floor before you ask such questions, rookie."

The group snickered.
