Chapter 47 Death Frenzy Martial Combat

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Death Frenzy Martial Combat

The butler’s simple words painted a blood-soaked picture for everyone present.

Winner takes all, and the loser pays with their life.

This was the rule of the Death Madness Tower.

Previously, Feng Yin had wondered how the few dozen Fierce-level Martial Artists on the island managed to sustain the Death Madness Tower’s relentless deathmatches. It turned out these contracted Warriors only existed to be challenged. The challengers themselves came from the millions of Fierce-level Martial Artists scattered across the globe.

Obviously, even at the Fierce Level, where one could relatively easily secure a high-paying job, standard salaries weren’t enough to fund a life of absolute luxury. Winning a single match yielded a million...

Faced with such a massive incentive, there were likely many Fierce-level Martial Artists—and even ordinary people—who wanted to make quick money without turning to illegal activities.

Beside him, Xie Jingyuan sighed. "Men will throw their lives away for a fistful of gold, just like moths to a flame."

Shen Jia’s expression showed some hesitation; she was clearly a little frightened. Xiao Yu was different. A faint gleam of excitement sparkled in her eyes. "I’ve wanted to witness a true, blood-spilling battle for a long time."

Feng Yin was momentarily speechless. Looking at Xiao Yu, who wasn’t scared but rather full of anticipation, he felt his understanding of her was still flawed. He wondered if this Rich Lolita was actually a bloodthirsty maniac.

As they spoke, the group passed through a VIP corridor and arrived directly in a private, luxurious suite. The room had a unique structure. One of its walls was a massive sheet of glass that offered a crystal-clear view of the outside.

Looking out, Feng Yin could see a slightly sunken circular arena, as well as the tiered, stair-like audience seating on the opposite side that rose above the ring. This scene was exactly the same as the Death Frenzy Sword Combat arena where he had seen Ya Lie slaughter his opponent on screen, just from a different angle.

The butler explained at the perfect moment, "The special VIP rooms are built right on the front lines of the Death Madness arena, allowing you to enjoy the deathmatches from the closest possible distance.

"This custom glass is bulletproof and one-way. We also guarantee that there are absolutely no surveillance devices inside the room. You don’t need to worry about being attacked, secretly recorded, or eavesdropped on. Please rest assured."

Shen Jia offered a satisfied compliment. "No wonder the Zero Point Consortium’s Death Madness Tower is so popular. The service is truly top-notch."

The butler bowed slightly. "You flatter me, Ms. Shen Jia. It is all thanks to the support of our esteemed guests." Maintaining his bow, he turned to Xiao Yu. "Ms. Chen Yu, tonight’s Death Frenzy Martial Combat will officially begin at exactly seven o’clock. Would you like me to serve you here, or should I wait outside the door?"

Xiao Yu waved her hand. "Mr. Sebastian, my friends and I prefer a bit of privacy. Could I trouble you to wait outside?"

The butler gave a slight nod. "Understood. Ms. Chen Yu, you only need to press the button on the table to call me. I will take my leave now."

As soon as the butler exited the room, Shen Jia suddenly hugged Xiao Yu. "Oh, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu. You really have a lot of pull to get a super VIP room like this. My box is way up there. It’s safe, sure, but you can barely see the action clearly."

Dropping her aloof facade, Xiao Yu linked arms with Shen Jia. "Hehe, Sister Shen Jia, the boxes up there aren’t bad either. You get a perfect bird’s-eye view."

Shen Jia glanced at Feng Yin, who was standing with Xie Jingyuan. She discreetly nudged Xiao Yu and lowered her voice. "You’re living the dream, picking up a handsome junior martial brother as soon as you get here. Tell me the truth, how is he?"

Xiao Yu wiggled her eyebrows at her best friend, giving a knowing look. Her voice was equally hushed. "Yesterday, after he finished practicing his sword, he hadn’t put his shirt on yet. I opened the door and saw him. Let me tell you—

"He is an absolute Immortal-grade masterpiece~"

On the other side, standing a few meters away, both Xie Jingyuan and Feng Yin stiffened simultaneously. Xie Jingyuan looked exasperated, completely helpless against his erratic apprentice. Feng Yin cast a speechless glance at Xiao Yu, finally realizing why this Rich Lolita had suddenly opened the door to look for him yesterday. It turned out to be completely premeditated.

As if trying to dispel the awkwardness, Xie Jingyuan pointed at the sunken arena beyond the glass. "Feng Yin, you’ve only been practicing martial arts for a few days. You probably haven’t seen real blood yet.

"Although these death frenzies are inhumane, they should offer you some Enlightenment. Tonight, take a good look at how Fierce-level Martial Artists fight against other Fierce-level Martial Artists."

Feng Yin nodded slightly. "Master, I’ve killed people before..."

Xie Jingyuan paused. "Oh? When?"

"Just a few days ago..." Feng Yin recounted the night he had snapped the neck of the nighttime assailant.

Of course, the feats of the Black Armor Swordsman cutting down a hundred men and sequentially slaying two Fierce-level Blade Masters were secrets he couldn’t casually reveal.

Xie Jingyuan smiled and nodded. "Not bad. Staying calm in the face of danger and being decisive in the kill—you have the potential of a true powerhouse, Feng Yin."

The two hadn’t deliberately lowered their voices. Hearing about Feng Yin’s experience, Xiao Yu excitedly raised her hand. "Me, me, me! Although I’ve never tried it, snapping an ordinary person’s neck should be a piece of cake for me too."

Xie Jingyuan scolded her, amused but annoyed. "Xiao Yu, behave yourself. Your parents had you practice martial arts to strengthen your body and keep you healthy. Don’t go around thinking about fighting and killing."

Xiao Yu stuck her tongue out at him. "Can’t I even talk about it?"

Feng Yin remained quiet on the side. He truly couldn’t refute what Xiao Yu had said. Having practiced Fixed Forms with this girl over the past two days, he had experienced her sheer physical power firsthand. It really was Innate Divine Power.

Feng Yin was also strong. Currently, he possessed nearly three to four times the strength of an average adult, but the Armor’s invisible enhancement accounted for a multiplier of two. Counting the physical improvements he had recently gained from Cultivating the Rotating Dragon Breath, his base strength was only about one and a half times that of a normal person.

He really couldn’t fathom how Xiao Yu’s petite frame could contain such astonishing power. This was what one called true talent.

While they chatted, they watched a large number of upper-class elites in suits and ties gradually take their places in the audience seats. Over half of them wore various types of masks, presumably to avoid revealing their identities.

Not long after the audience filled the seats, seven o’clock swiftly arrived. All the spotlights on the ceiling suddenly lit up.

Roaring heavy metal music blasted from the speakers, accompanied by a loop of shouts echoing in several languages:

"Unarmed! Short weapons! Long-handled weapons! Even battles with exotic weapons!"

"Blood! Gore! Severed limbs! Death! We have it all!"

"Death frenzy! This is death frenzy!"

"..."

Amidst the frantic, harsh vocals of the music, the four-way screens above the arena simultaneously began displaying footage. They all showed real-life scenes of fighters wielding long and short weapons, disemboweling their opponents or cleaving them in two.

Stimulated by the blood-pumping roars and graphic visuals, the atmosphere in the colosseum ignited in an instant. The formerly reserved audience began to cheer and scream, looking utterly deranged.

The next moment, a hole opened in the center floor of the arena. The host rose from it and leaped out, passionately shouting the opening remarks:

"Good evening, esteemed guests!

"Welcome to the Death! Madness! Tower!

"Tonight, dozens of frenzied outlaws will, as always, present you with an incredibly spectacular Death Frenzy Martial Combat!

"Cheer! Scream! Roar!"
