Zhou Yan looked at the other party and replied strangely, "Do you black market merchants all like to inquire about things?"
Vina quickly shook his head and said, "Don't mind me, I'm just purely curious."
After speaking, Vina smiled at Zhou Yan and asked, "Anything else?"
"There will be more in the future, only more than now," Zhou Yan replied.
"I like to hear that," Vina smiled, then began to calculate the prices of these items one by one, and finally stated a price.
"One hundred and fifty-five billion spirit coins." Vina said.
Although the price was a little lower than he expected, this was the way of black market merchants. Zhou Yan chatted with him for a while, and finally the deal was made for one hundred and sixty billion.
These items were just a pile of scrap metal to Zhou Yan, but to the black market merchant, anything could be sold for a certain price.
"Vina, we want tickets for next week's black market trade fair," Ye Bufan said.
"For our future friendly transactions, I've decided to give each of you two tickets." Vina took out two dark pieces of paper, truly dark through and through.
Only three words were written on them: "Admission Ticket."
Of course, this was not the script of the Canglan Continent. Zhou Yan had no interest in knowing which country's script it was; as long as he could see the translated text, it was enough.
"We will definitely be your partners," Zhou Yan and Ye Bufan left.
"I look forward to our next meeting," Vina replied.
After leaving the black market merchant, Ye Bufan asked, "Interested in going to the fighting arena?"
"Oh, what kind of arena?" Zhou Yan asked.
"There are defending and challenging. Ten consecutive wins are considered successful, and the winner gets a reward. What do you say, are you interested?" Ye Bufan asked.
"Let's go take a look," Zhou Yan nodded.
Ye Bufan brought Zhou Yan back to his territory, and then teleported to another place. This was a country, and Ye Bufan had already explained it to Zhou Yan on the way.
This country was very fond of various arena challenges, and could even be called the "Arena Nation." There were all sorts of arena modes. Before participating or challenging, one had to be familiar with the chosen mode.
Ye Bufan had been here many times and knew quite a bit about it.
Many lords came here, and even more tourists. Before entering, one had to pay an entry fee of one hundred spirit coins per person. According to Ye Bufan, this "Arena Nation" could earn a lot just by collecting this entry fee.
Indeed, many lords came here, with people coming and going through more than a dozen city gates.
Upon entering, it was basically filled with accommodations and arena halls. The accommodations were inns that provided various delicacies. Other than that, there was no commercial activity.
This was not surprising. The Lord Continent had all sorts of strange countries; there was nothing you hadn't seen, only what you couldn't imagine.
This was just one city in the "Arena Nation." There were no less than thousands of such cities in the entire country. Ye Bufan took Zhou Yan to a large arena hall.
Upon entering, one could see various arenas, with people setting up challenges and others challenging.
Both those who set up arenas and those who challenged had to pay a fee of one thousand spirit coins each time.
Ye Bufan said that the charging methods of each arena hall were different. This was just the low-level arena area, frequented by lords of lower strength, and where no good items would appear.
Ye Bufan directly took Zhou Yan to the advanced arena area. Here, the lowest quality item that could be used to set up an arena was S-grade.
Correspondingly, each challenge required a payment of one hundred thousand spirit coins. The lords who came here were relatively few, but those who dared to challenge here were undoubtedly confident in themselves.
Zhou Yan had been to similar places before. Last time, Teacher Leng Yue had taken him, and the scale was not this large, nor were there so many people.
This was a country on the Lord Continent, and the entire country, the entire city, survived by this arena-challenging method.
This country had all sorts of arena-challenging methods. Zhou Yan had seen many types as he came along. Some simply competed in strength, some in wisdom, and some in speed.
It was more like a competition, which Zhou Yan found quite novel. He felt he had come to the right place.
Each arena had detailed information, specifying which realm of individuals was allowed to challenge. Those exceeding the specified range were not permitted to challenge.
"What do you think, seen anything you like?" Ye Bufan asked.
"Still looking." Zhou Yan was not interested in ordinary items. He was still searching and spotted a suitable arena for him to challenge. Although the item was only an SSS-grade defense tower, he decided to try it out first.
The person challenging was a lord, and the challenger also had to be a lord. The realm could only be below the ninety-third heaven to challenge the opponent.
The opponent had already won fifteen consecutive matches. The challenge price had reached three hundred thousand spirit coins. To challenge the opponent, one had to pay three hundred thousand spirit coins.
After paying the three hundred thousand spirit coins, Zhou Yan walked onto the arena. After being detected by the instrument, his realm was identified as the ninetieth heaven.
The opponent was a lord of the ninety-third heaven, wearing a full set of spirit equipment and holding a red staff.
"Ninetieth heaven!" Ye Bufan was a little surprised upon seeing Zhou Yan's realm. This cultivation speed was truly astonishing.
"Ninetieth heaven, very young, and very courageous." The opponent, named Catherine Simon, commented after seeing Zhou Yan's strength.
Zhou Yan waited for the battle to begin. When the protective shield appeared, Zhou Yan clenched his fist and assumed an attacking posture.
Catherine Simon was taken aback and said, "You don't intend to defeat me with just your fists, do you?"
"Is there any reason why not?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Of course, but you will fail because you underestimate me," Catherine Simon replied, determined to show the other party how strong he was.
"I look forward to your performance." Zhou Yan saw that the protective shield of the entire arena had appeared and beckoned to the opponent.
"This Zhou Yan, his actions are too arrogant," Ye Bufan commented from below the stage.
The surrounding spectators also said, "This kid is so arrogant."
"At such a young age, to possess the realm of the ninetieth heaven. Young people will always have some youthful impetuosity."
"Catherine Simon's record shows he has won fifteen consecutive matches. This young man will surely pay a heavy price."
"Let's see. Perhaps the opponent will show some unexpected performance."
Zhou Yan's actions indeed made Catherine Simon very angry.
"Kid, you've got guts. This makes me very angry. You've angered me."
Catherine Simon attacked powerfully, unleashing a very strong aura.澎湃的 energy was released from his body, transforming into a violent fluctuation and fiercely attacking Zhou Yan.
