1478 The Last Phase
Tang Shaoyang did not ask Ira what would happen if he died in this trial. Was it the sa with the Demi-God Trial where they would be resurrected and sent back to their world? Or it was death, death. He did not know that, but it would be silly to die in the tournant and fail the trial instead of dying from attempting the trial itself.
He furrowed his brow as he realized sothing. There was a sudden surge in the participants. At the sa ti, there was also a tournant. A very tempting tournant for the participants to join. It felt like the tournant organizer tried to reduce the number of the trial's participants.
'This is indeed suspicious.' Vandir who tried to persuade Tang Shaoyang to join the tournant also agreed that the tournant was suspicious.
The arena was getting more crowded, and he slowly understood the format of the tournant. It was similar to a gladiator fight. One has to achieve ten wins to proceed to the main arena. The football stadium-size arena was where the main tournant took place. It would be held a day later after a hundred participants with ten wins ca out.
Tang Shaoyang's suspicion ca true as more participants died. There was a silly fight, a mage-oriented class against soone with a close-combat class. He thought the latter would win, but the mage won with just a single spell. The mage blasted his opponent's head.
A loud cheer resounded when soone died. It caused the arena to shake a little bit from the cheer. Soone even laughed, happy that soone died. He understood as to why they were happy as that ant it was one less competitor. But that was just sickening that soone would laugh. He would kill people, but he would not laugh at the people he killed.
After the thirteenth match was over, Tang Shaoyang headed out. He thought of visiting the restaurant recomnded by the barkeeper. The ti-killing plan until the trial started was to try all kinds of foods in this city and watch the tournant. That was the plan for two days.
'Should I be worried about myself that I don't mind eating after watching the gory match?' That was what he thought on the way to the restaurant. Even after witnessing the flesh and blood in the arena, he still had the appetite to eat. Of course, he did not dwell on those thoughts too much.
The barkeeper recomnded him to Calamity Restaurant. It was not just the na, but the restaurant indeed served Calamity's at. They used Calamity as their ingredients, and that interested him.
Tang Shaoyang ca out of the restaurant with a face of full regret. It was an interesting idea to taste the Calamity at, but it was either the cook was an amateur who could not proceed with the ingredients properly, or maybe it was just not up to his taste.
He started with two nus and did not like them. But he trusted the barkeeper since it was recomnded to him. He ended up ordering four more dishes, and that was why he was sure Calamity was not food, at least not for him.
After that, he visited the sa tavern and ordered the sa drink to wash the taste in his mouth. The barkeeper laughed at him when he said he did not like the recomndation.
That was how he spent his ti, trying the new food, drinking at the sa bar, buying new snacks, and returning to the arena. The two days in this city turned him into a gourt person. He kept wanting to try a new food, and he had been asking for a lot of recomndations. He even asked Ira and her friend for a recomndation. It was until the last phase of the tournant.
He had not slept since the announcent of the tournant. No, he had not returned to his lodging ever since. Since there was no night and noon, he had been staying up and watching the tournant, the only thing that was interesting in the city.
There was a break for the last phase, and he went out to get his snack. Then he returned to his seat, but then he found four familiar faces next to his usual seat.
Agnes, Castor, and two n he still did not know until today. He thought of looking for a new seat, but he was just too lazy. He ended up sitting next to Agnes with three bags of snacks.
"We et again, Mr. Tang Shaoyang," Castor recognized him and knew his na. It must be Agnes who told Castor his na.
"Hello," Tang Shaoyang greeted back unenthusiastically as he looked up at the giant screen above the arena. Four participants were remaining for the final battle. Those four people were the undefeated participants in the whole tournant.

"You co alone? Where's your party, Mr, Tang?" Castor did not care about the lukewarm response and asked with a smile.
It was hard not to be polite to soone who was polite. But it was a different case, and he did not know why. But for so reason, he felt repulsive to Castor. There was sothing that caused that, not because Castor was rude in their first eting. It was just there was sothing that made him dislike Castor. He did not know why.
"I don't have a party." He replied shortly.
"What? How can? Is there no one inviting you to the party?" Castor asked with his pleasant voice, "How can no one invite a strong participant like you?"
"Don't know." Tang Shaoyang did not plan to form a party, but now that Castor reminded him. He indeed did not receive an invitation to a party anymore. Not that he wanted to be invited to a party, but now he knew why. He let out a chuckle and shook his head.
For the first ti, he turned toward Castor with a smile, "Thank you for your help. It would be a bother for to reject all those invitations if not for you."
