Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!
Chapter 763: The Modified OpponentA racing carriage entered the arena.
At the reception area, a few dog-headed men in tailored white suits stood respectfully waiting.
The news that an outsider traveler from the Wasteland had entered Yun-Yue City had already spread through the entire metropolis the moment the massive golden gate opened.
"Greetings, honored Wasteland traveler!"
A white-furred dog-headed man wore sunglasses.
"We have already announced your arrival!"
A black-furred dog-headed man wore a cloak.
Black and white together, the two gatekeepers spoke in unison:
"Now, your opponent has been matched! Please, enter the arena!"
On the magic-guided carriage, Ye Qiyan watched the two of them with keen interest.
"So it matched me directly. That's interesting."
"After all, Boss is the first traveler to enter the Lunar Heart Arena this month. The people who live here are extremely curious about travelers from the Wasteland. Regardless of the final outcome, except for a few star fighters, the Wasteland traveler's tickets always sell the best."
"Tickets?"
Emilie nodded.
"Yes. The people in this Lunar Heart Arena are those who failed to complete their trials and are trapped here forever. They might as well marry and raise children, and ultimately developed this strange city that attracted the attention of the great Nether Flower, Lady Eris.
People here, rich or poor, either train from birth just to clear the trials and grow stronger, or they become ordinary folk who live their lives and buy tickets to support the trial participant they hope in when that person fights."
Emilie got off the carriage with Ye Qiyan.
She walked ahead, then paused mid-sentence, and even slowed her steps for a moment.
"The people here long to see someone clear the trial. They are destined not to have freedom; they are birds with broken wings. The only thing that stirs the trapped heart is this.
For the trial participant they support, even if they might starve the next day, even if they have to sell everything they own, they will buy a ticket labeled with the name of hope..."
Emilie stopped walking.
At the end of the corridor, everything was pure white.
Faintly, the frantic cheers and shouts from the arena could already be heard.
They seemed to be shouting a name.
"So, Boss, each Wasteland traveler receives the greatest enthusiasm and hope from them. If— I mean, if... you are willing, could you wave to them?"
Ye Qiyan stayed silent and continued walking forward.
When he stepped past that white boundary, the blinding, daylight-like brilliance revealed the arena full of hundreds of thousands of spectators before his eyes.
And he heard the name they were calling.
"Ye Qiyan!" "Ye Qiyan!!" "Ye Qiyan!!!"
Yes.
The thunderous cheering was like mountains and seas; even he felt his blood heat up inside.
"Oh!!!"
Countless races no longer had the petty scheming of the Wasteland or Station Worlds.
They shouted, they cheered, they roared!
They welcomed the arrival of a new Wasteland traveler.
They welcomed a possible new bearer of hope.
They didn't even know Ye Qiyan.
They didn't know whether he was strong or whether he would fail in his first trial.
But this was the people of Yun-Yue City—their only joy and way of life.
They gambled.
The stakes were hope or despair.
"Hey! Spectators, look! This is the Wasteland traveler who has just arrived in the Lunar Heart Arena established by the great Lady Eris! Ye! Qi! Yan!"
"Let us greet, with our greatest passion, this new trial participant!"
Frenzy! Restlessness!
Ye Qiyan’s gaze swept the surroundings. Amid the waves of passion, he raised his hand and smiled as he waved.
That gesture brought even louder cheers.
On the giant screen above the arena, his record from the Stellar Core Arena appeared.
When the glaring, shining [First] rank flashed up,
the crowd's voices froze for an instant, then erupted into a sound wave that seemed poised to flip the world over!
His name kept ringing out; every other sound around was drowned by that sonic tide.
Lisette set her camera on Red Tears' demon horn. Under the demon girl's quiet stare, she took a photo with the arena as background—the second picture since arriving in this world that satisfied her.
"Bo-boss! Huff huff... your opponent, your opponent is out! Huh? How is this possible!"
Emilie covered her ears as she reminded Ye Qiyan that the first trial was about to begin, but a sudden piece of information that appeared in her mind left her stunned.
"What is it?"
"Your— your opponent! Has been modified!? No, this isn't fair, I'll lodge an appeal right now!"
"There's no need."
Ye Qiyan stopped Emilie.
"But—"
"Looks like it's not only the audience in this arena watching me."
He smiled at the opposite side.
On the other side of the trial field, roughly ten football fields in scale, people were streaming out of the gate—ten, a hundred, a thousand... thousands—each holding various weapons.
Collars hung around their necks, and energy leashes drew them forward, leading them into the hands of a woman on a carriage who held a long whip, clad in leather.
The light screen above the arena simultaneously displayed information for Ye Qiyan and the opponent.
[Name: Gabriella]
[Title: Enslaving Empress]
[Race: Venom Widow Demon Spirit]
[Power System Build: Enslaved Legion]
[Declaration: Those I defeat will become members of my Enslaved Legion!]
[Stellar Core: 12 consecutive wins, ranking: 8982]
[Lunar Heart: best 5 consecutive wins, currently 1 win, unranked]
Judging by the final Stellar Core ranking and the Lunar Heart zero streak, this venom widow demon girl did not appear to be especially powerful.
Yet what about the thousands of slaves serving as her army?
These people had all once been Lunar Heart trial participants.
If they lost to this black widow demon, it showed their strength was not top-tier.
But there were thousands of slaves.
This number and this level of opponent as his first trial—
indeed...
exciting~
"Emilie."
"Boss?!"
"If I still rank first in the final Lunar Heart standings, will there be a lot of rewards?"
"Bu-but the top fifty in Lunar Heart rankings hasn't changed for hundreds of years..."
"Just answer my question."
Ye Qiyan smiled, cutting off Emilie's introduction as he looked at the thousands who had taken their battle stances and prepared to fight.
"Yes, first place gets many rewards..."
"Good."
He grinned. Amid the arena's total frenzy caused by the opponent's appearance, a crisp snap of his fingers somehow rose above the sound wave.
"Rest assured."
[Void Transformation - Armament Hangar]
A pure white carriage slowly ascended from the void.
[Augustine, Lancelot, Bedivere, Scoundrel, Mass-Produced Wuzhong]
[Launch readiness complete!]
"I will win."
