Chapter 2385 - 1332: Part 2
Asking for help made someone owe a favor, which needs to be repaid in the future.Within the allotted time, Lai Jianlin and Tang Feiyang ended up in a tie, with their match taking up the entire morning.
During lunchtime, the arena temporarily stopped, allowing contestants and spectators to eat first.
Watching this match doesn’t require an entry ticket because the venue and resources used belong to the official organization.
With official support, this official institution refers to the Saint Sect, with Jiang Tang as the Saint Master.
With the match temporarily paused, many spectators left while others stayed in place, worrying there might not be seats available in the afternoon.
So they ate dry rations, drank the water they brought, and thought of taking this noon time to rest here and watch the matches up close.
They weren’t afraid that those arriving in the afternoon would be angry because they occupied the seats.
The seated areas didn’t have anyone’s name on the chairs.
As for the high platform seats, who would snatch a chair?
Luo Yaxuan originally thought their second group would compete in the morning.
Unexpectedly, the match between Lai Jianlin and Tang Feiyang occupied more time, dragging from morning to noon.
The judges’ thoughts remain unknown; they think that since the two haven’t determined a winner, they should continue fighting.
...
Luo Yaxuan’s match was delayed until noon; he understood that perhaps their participants were too few, while matches at each level took an equal amount of time.
Other venues had more participants, leading to shorter rules time.
This venue had fewer participants and thus longer rules time.
That was also why spectators could watch more during their ongoing magic combat.
Such matches typically would charge fees outside.
Such free ones naturally attracted many participants, drawing in everyone from the entire base with free time.
People from two other bases heard the news and came too.
Some people did want to join the match but were rejected.
This was only a family event, not an open tournament conducted by the entire Immortal Sect.
Unlike the previous cultivation competition, this event was organized officially.
It was arranged after consulting the families, using their activity funds to host it and award prizes using items acquired by the families.
After leaving the venue, Luo Yaxuan met Liu Jiaojiao at the entrance.
Their matches weren’t in the same venue, Liu Jiaojiao’s level had more men and women.
They didn’t engage in mixed combat, proceeding with one-on-one matches; however, their venue had more than one arena, considering the number of participants.
"Xuan, did you have your match in the morning? Who won in your arena matches?"
"Jiaojiao, there was only Lai Jianlin competing against Tang Feiyang, which ended in a tie."
"When will you compete, husband? It would be nice if I could watch."
"No worries, our matches will be recorded, did you have your match in the morning?"
"No, it’s only my turn in the afternoon."
The couple lived near each other, so they didn’t go to the open cafeteria but returned to their courtyard for a meal.
There was still an hour until the match, they could check on the children and rest after eating.
Their servant would chat noisily during the meal, asking about various things.
These staff members had duties to perform and weren’t qualified to watch, only able to gossip and watch recorded videos later.
The admiration for the master and mistress was endless, constantly praising them.
If it weren’t for the masters bringing them here, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate.
Originally, they were the lowest in rank within the family, doing rough manual labor, it was all their work.
Making money in the Cultivation World was quite tough, since the earnings were tangible cultivation wealth, yet they couldn’t cultivate with that wealth.
Their currency of choice was typically Spiritual Pearls or Spirit Stones, even if they earned enough to buy Spirit Rice or other food, it merely filled their bellies.
Though they ate the same meals as Cultivators, it only warmed them and strengthened their bodies a bit.
Unable to cultivate, they didn’t earn much from low-level tasks.
It was slightly better within their family since serving the masters granted benefits, preventing concerns about meals.
Their earnings supported family members, some of whom couldn’t serve the masters here.
Entering this service required a high level, not everyone had the opportunity to serve the masters.
Once the masters allowed them cultivation benefits, more people wanted such benefits.
Since not everyone had this benefit, initially only those beside the masters enjoyed these benefits.
Later the masters planned to relocate more people, requesting the masters to bring their families too, which they did.
Some families were larger, giving them an advantage.
One person moving a family, allowing them to relocate, cultivate, and live at the same base as Immortals, Cultivators, and Deities was a blessing.
Children were born into the family, some could cultivate, others couldn’t; in the past, one family member could cultivate, easing the difficulties.
Joining the family, others couldn’t; they might not care much about those not joining, since mortal lifespans were shorter, requiring less emotional investment.
They cautiously provided Longevity Pills, which only extended life by 100 years.
A non-cultivator living past 100, reaching 200 was already the limit.
Since the masters enabled their cultivation, primarily Cultivators secured benefits for family members.
Since not every child born in the family had Spiritual Roots for cultivation.
Families with some children capable of cultivation nurtured them, while others learned to serve the masters, acquiring trade or other skills for family service.
In the base, upon beginning cultivation, they realized the difference compared to the family environment.
Such feelings, when asked about, were attributed to cities’ dense or thin Spiritual Energy.
Areas lacking Spiritual Energy were abandoned by Cultivators, leaving ordinary people to live there.
Some ordinary people were wealthy, usually having Cultivators in their family or working for the official organization.
After eating lunch, Luo Yaxuan and his wife watched their children eat and sleep, served by servants and maids.
They didn’t rest much but discussed today’s battle observations during that time.
Their arenas were separate, but they might watch video recordings afterward.
Currently, they had time and could show the recorded footage to each other.
Perhaps they could offer comments and prepare for afternoon matches.
Luo Yaxuan first showed a video of Lai Jianlin battling with another Family Head.
Given the tight schedule, Liu Jiaojiao shared recordings from the morning; they multitasked, exchanging videos.
"This Tang Feiyang seems to improve swiftly, while Lai Jianlin isn’t slow either, practicing dual cultivation, possessing formidable abilities," Liu Jiaojiao commented.
"Indeed, unexpected they fought all morning without settling," Luo Yaxuan remarked, pondering over his previous tie with Lai Jianlin if replaced to fight today morning, would it also end in a draw?
