A stench filled the sky!

A strong and pungent stench of blood, along with the rotten smell of demonic beasts’ feces had filled the air of the Bestial Battle Arena. The smell was so bad that it was difficult for one to even open their eyes.

There was an ear-splitting roar, and it seemed as though countless people were screaming at the top of their lungs...

Bai Luochu was lying on the ground with her eyes shut and brows knitted accentuated her wrinkles. Her pale and scrawny face was drenched with sweat and she looked like she was suffering from immeasurable pain.

—— “Evil dao witch! If you take your own life, we can still spare the lives of your sect members! If you persist in traveling down the wrong path, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

Mockery and cold shouts constantly echoed in Bai Luochu’s mind and she felt as though her head was going to split open!

All of a sudden, the roar of a beast reverberated through the sky and it was accompanied by a loud “bang”! A heavy object smashed into Bai Luochu’s shoulder, and her body shot out like a broken rag doll. Brutally slamming into the wall of the Bestial Battle Arena, cracks started to spiderweb across it as she fell to the ground. Fresh blood gushed out from her mouth as she laid there, unmoving.

In her semi conscious state, her body twisted and squirmed continuously as her deathly pale countenance turned green. The blood coming out from her mouth didn’t stop as it stained her face, painting an extremely unsightly scene.

The sharp pain allowed her to regain her consciousness.

“Lu Wenshu…” Bai Luochu murmured softly, as her fists subconsciously tightened. “Lu Wenshu…”

Bai Luochu was still on the ground and her pair of half-closed eyes seemed to have regained some clarity.

“Lu Wenshu, I deserted my apprenticeship for you. Yet, in order to obtain the inheritance, you joined hands with everyone to surround my temple, exterminate my people, and caused my death! Lu Wenshu… in this entire world, even if everyone betrayed me, how could you...”

Bai Luochu released a deep and grim laughter as she barely supported her body off the ground. With her gaze fixed forward, she wanted to take a good look at the current expression on Lu Wenshu’s face!

As soon as she raised her head, she was stunned. The scene in front of her wasn’t the inheritance altar where she lost her consciousness. Instead, she only saw a pile of bones drenched in blood...

“Where… where is this?”

Bai Luochu was shocked. There was only one thought in her mind at the moment and it was to stand up. However, she realized that her body wracked with pain the moment she tried to move. Her right arm had long lost all feeling and the piercing bone-chilling pain in her shoulder allowed her to recognize the fact that her arm was broken. She would feel a sharp pain shooting through her body along with the rising and falling of her chest and it was obvious she had several broken ribs.

What is going on? Where in the world is she?

“Eat her! Eat her! …”

As Bai Luochu’s consciousness became clearer, cries from all over the arena entered her ears.

Bai Luochu tried to search for the source of the noise, and discovered people standing on top of the walls surrounding her. They stretched their necks to look down at her as they gestured and pointed. As they screamed, their faces turned red in excitement and a maniacal look appeared in their eyes.

Bai Luochu surveyed her surroundings as an odd expression crept up her face.

This place… why did it look like the Bestial Battle Arena?

Wasn’t she supposed to be at the inheritance altar?

While she was thinking about what had actually transpired, a shadow appeared and pressed down above her head.

Bai Luochu raised her head and saw a bloody mouth, which brought with it a pungent stench, trying to swallow her whole!

Those sharp teeth still had remnant chunks of flesh that were dripping with blood. If the teeth really sank into her head, her skull would be ripped off her shoulders.

“Brute!” Bai Luochu let out a sharp glare as she formed a sword out of her spiritual energy. It shot straight towards the Fire Lion and she yelled, “Get lost!”

It dares to eat her? This foolish beast must have eaten a bear’s heart or a leopard’s guts!

Just as Bai Luochu assumed that her attack felled the beast, that ferocious beast’s body merely shivered a little before letting out an enraged roar. Its mouth shot towards Bai Luochu’s head once again! This time, it moved even faster.

In the past, Bai Luochu’s spiritual attack was something that supreme experts were unable to dodge. Right now, it couldn’t even fend-off a low-level beast!

Bai Luochu was shocked. With a thought in mind, she immediately circulated her spirit qi, only to notice that the interior of her body was completely empty. Let alone spirit qi, even her meridians were blocked up...

What in the world was going on?!

Bai Luochu’s expression finally changed. Why did her spiritual energy and spirit qi vanish?

Looking at the quick, violent, and ferocious beast whose mouth was dripping with blood as it bared its fangs at her, Bai Luochu didn’t even have time to think. Enduring the pain, she rolled over rapidly in order to escape. Spotting a pile of bones by her side, she grabbed a slender and sharp one and used it as her weapon.

Pulling herself away, Bai Luochu finally saw the full appearance of the ferocious beast. It had a lion’s body, a leopard’s head, and a snake’s tail. Its entire body was pitch-black and its red paws made it looked as though it was stomping on flames. It was precisely the spirit beast, Fire Lion.

A high rank Fire Lion had an entire body seemingly made out of flames. Each breath it took made it seem as though flames were streaming out of its mouth and the air it exhaled formed a gale. Since the Fire Lion’s paws were barely red, she knew that its cultivation had only reached the first stage.

“Hmph! Even the Ancient Flaming Lion will have to bow before me. How dare a first stage Fire Lion behave so audaciously in front of me?”

Bai Luochu spoke indifferently as her crystal-like black eyes on her pale face sparkled with an icy-cold and sharp light. She looked like a cheetah staring at the Fire Lion’s every move. She looked much more savage and vicious compared to the Fire Lion!

Out of its wildest expectations, a prey which was supposed to be powerless managed to dodge its attack. With a blank expression on its face, the Fire Lion quickly turned its body to face Bai Luochu.

It seemed like Bai Luochu’s cold expression made it even more angry as the Fire Lion snarled before charging head first into her.

The two of them weren’t too far away from each other and in the blink of an eye, the Fire Lion arrived in front of Bai Luochu’s face.

At this precise moment, Bai Luochu made a move. One could see her body tilting to the left as she used her right hand to hook onto the neck of the Fire Lion. Her left hand pressed hard on its ribs and she did a flip. She rode on the lion’s back and the moment she landed, her left hand chopped down on the Fire Lion’s seventh vertebra. She hammered with all her strength!

A muffled ‘snap’ echoed through the air. A moment later, the Fire Lion’s body trembled as it roared and swayed violently. That abnormally bitter roar caused everyone to instinctively flinch!

But she was nowhere near done. In order not to be thrown off by its violent movement, Bai Luochu’s legs clamped tight on the Fire Lion’s abdomen. At the same time, her left hand turned into a claw and dug into its skin before grabbing onto the seventh vertebra. In a swift movement, she pulled with all her might and a clear shattering sound echoed through the air. In an instant, the Fire Lion’s body stiffened and its legs gave out. Collapsing onto the ground, the Fire Lion no longer got up.

The originally fearsome and powerful Fire Lion perished in an instant!

Seeing as the lion could no longer fight back, Bai Luochu’s brows furrowed and she flipped off the Fire Lion’s back. She looked at her left hand and couldn’t help but frown.

In the past, a simple point with her fingertip was enough to pierce a hole through a giant boulder. Right now, she used her full strength and was unable to smash apart a mere bone!

Had it not been because of her knowledge of the beast’s weakness, there was no way she would be able to kill the Fire Lion that easily.

What was going on here? Why was she here? Why was her cultivation gone?

Unknowingly, the maniacal shouting in the Bestial Battle Arena had stopped and it was replaced by yelps and soft gasps...

“Tsk, why didn’t she die…”

“The flesh had already entered its mouth. Why couldn’t it just snap its jaws shut? This Fire Lion sure is useless!”

“Arena Master, why did the Fire Lion suddenly die? Is this some sort of trick to scam our money?”

Everyone was shouting out simultaneously and most of them were curses. Of course, there were cheers as well as they laughed heartily before tossing gold coins into the arena.

A moment later, the Bestial Battle Arena went into an uproar again.

“The battle is over. No.8 human slave wins, open the gate!”

All of a sudden, a deep voice resounded through the Bestial Battle Arena. At the same time, there was a clattering sound as a giant gate at the corner of the Bestial Battle Arena rolled open..

No.8 human slave?

Bai Luochu frowned and scanned her surroundings. She walked towards the gate with a suspicious look in her eyes. The moment she walked out, an enormous amount of memory flooded into her mind violently like a giant wave and caused her vision to go black. Her body froze and she fell onto the ground.

In a high pavilion above the Bestial Battle Arena, an individual was quietly fanning himself with a folding fan as he stared at the motionless Bai Luochu on the ground. That person spoke slowly, “Who is that?”

The voice was clear and gentle, yet there wasn’t a lack of unsophisticated manliness. That crystal clear voice was something that no one would ever forget after hearing it once.

“Young Master, that is the no.8 human slave. She is a newcomer to the Bestial Battle Arena.”

“En.” The person nodded silently and stood up to walk outside as his black hair fluttered lightly in the wind without restraint.

“Reward.”

“Understood, Young Master.”

In the dead of the night, the temperature was extremely cold. The prisoners felt as though they were submerged in a cold pool as sparse moonlight passed through the mottled barred window and shined into the prison cell as it illuminated a tiny figure who was lying on a pile of rice straws.

Bai Luochu laid quietly as she looked around the filthy prison cell. She had been awake for more than four hours and since she woke up, memories flowed through her head. Obviously, none of it belonged to her. However, they were so profound and detailed that she felt as though she had truly experienced them.

Connecting the dots, she realized that there was only one explanation for this. She had reincarnated into another body!

She had perished on the sacred monument of the inheritance altar and reincarnated into the body of someone in the Bestial Battle Arena. Right now, she was in the body of a woman named “Luo Chu”.

She once heard about how supreme experts in the world would fight over the method of reincarnation. Never in her wildest imaginations did she expect herself to be able to come back to life.

Bai Luochu looked at her frail and powerless hand. The primary energy and divine sense she possessed previously had all but vanished. She was currently a wastrel whose primary energy meridians were blocked.

Nevertheless, it was extremely fortunate for her to be able to live another life.

As for primary energy and divine senses… That was something she could easily regain.

“Lu Wenshu, it is hard to imagine, right? You schemed and racked your brains to kill me but the heavens didn’t allow me to die. I am really looking forward to the day we meet again…” Bai Luochu laughed insipidly as a cold light flashed through her eyes. Killing intent leaked out of her body.

Whatever the case, the most important task right now was for her to become stronger!

“Gong! Gong! Gong!” Suddenly, a loud and ear-piercing gong echoed and broke the silence in the dark night. A disturbance broke out in the prison cells.

“Get up, get up! All of you get up! Gather in the main hall in the time it takes to burn half an incense stick!” The person who beat the gong spoke in a strict tone. As he spoke, he smacked the doors of the prison cells with a loathsome expression plastered on his face.

“No.8?” When in front of Bai Luochu’s prison cell, that guard’s body paused and raised a brow. He then tossed a bag in and spoke with a rather mild voice, “You’re lucky to be alive. This is a reward from a noble.”

He walked off as soon as he was done speaking. Prisoners in the other cells were already on their feet as they cursed loudly. Even though curses flooded their speech, they moved quickly.

Bai Luochu surveyed the surroundings and noticed this prison had slightly more than ten cells and most of them were occupied by robust middle-aged men. Looking at the reward in her cell, their gazes shifted to her and an avaricious expression appeared on their face. They didn’t intend to hide their feelings in the slightest.

Looking at them, Bai Luochu coldly snorted. With the likes of those men, if she were to walk out of the cell with the bag of rewards, she would definitely die a miserable death in their hands with her current strength. In the best case scenario, her rewards would be plundered in a flash...

As such, she was in no hurry to walk out and she immediately sat down. She opened the reward bag in front of everyone’s unblinking eyes.

Inside the bag, there was a bottle of medicine and ten gold coins. The moment Bai Luochu opened the medicine bottle and took a whiff, she frowned. A loathing expression appeared in her eyes.

“Medicine… there is a fragrance of medicine!” All of a sudden, one of the sturdy men’s eyes opened wide. There was a trace of disbelief as he continued, “It’s actually spirit medicine?!”

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone in the cells were stunned. Rushing to the edge of the metal bars, they stretched out their necks in order to get a whiff.

“Spirit medicine! It’s actually spirit medicine!” There was an instant clamor in the prison cells.

Spirit medicine? Bai Luochu took a look at the medicine bottle and revealed a trace of despise as the corner of her mouth curled upwards. This was considered spirit medicine? This probably didn’t even have a grade. At best, this medicinal fluid only contained a trace of spirit qi...

But when she saw the reactions of the people inside the prison cells, she could understand why they were drooling over this bottle of measly medicinal fluid. She also understood why they were acting so crazily.

As humans inside this Bestial Battle Arena, they were probably no longer classified as ‘humans’. They were food that was destined to enter the jaws of the ferocious beasts. This was the reason that even though it was merely a bottle of medicinal fluid with a trace of spirit qi, everyone was going crazy for it. It was a rare supplement that might ensure their survival in the near future.
