The God's Children seemed excited about the possibility of making a fortune while fighting against others.
Jason had always wondered why mankind hadn't developed a similar system. The big clans had been too full of themselves, while the same could be said about the other human powerhouses.
As such, it would have been a great solution to let powerhouses, and descendants fight against each other.
This was not really important for Jason because he wouldn't have participated in something like that either way.
However, with time, his mindset had changed a lot. As such, he couldn't help but smile craftily.
"You may not be aware of this, but the reward for achieving a winning streak of 50 is pretty good! I'm quite tempted to participate."
Every victory would reward cultivation resources, and it was only the winning streaks with 20, 50, 100 wins that would result in different rewards.
As a matter of fact, the reward for a winning streak of 20 wins was uninteresting for Jason, but the 50th was quite beneficial for everyone!
Betty stared at Jason, not sure what to think about his words. He was hinting something, and evidently advertising the Colosseum.
It was only when Merl Arths took a step forward that she averted her attention from Jason.
"I guess you want everyone to join the Colosseum and enter the 50th round. How can you be so confident that nobody will fail, or even worse, die? And what is the reward, to begin with?"
Jason had waited for her to ask these questions, and he couldn't suppress a smile.
Everyone could see a faint glint of determination in his eyes as he cleared his throat.
"If the God's Children can't even beat someone two or to be more precise three ranks above their mana core rank, we should just give up on participating in the liberation tournament. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing
The reward is pretty simple. We receive the permission to enter a dimension or to be more precise the part of a destroyed world that sustains itself with mana. There is a world bridge leading to that place, and the mana density and purity are said to be a few times higher in comparison to what we find here!
Gaining combat experience, and knowledge of our opponents before increasing our strength and cultivation base for the remaining two months would be perfect, or not?"
He knew that he hadn't really explained how the Colosseum worked, but it was pretty simple.
In the first 10 rounds, one would fight against opponents at the same mana core rank as their own.
After that, post every 10 victories the difficulty would increase by one level.
The dangers of a level were correlated to the bet one had made. Without placing a bet, one wouldn't receive lots of rewards from the colosseum. However, at the same time, a 'level' increment was only equal to around half a rank.
With 1000 liquefied drops of mana, the opponents in the 1st-9th fight would have roughly the same strength, while the opponents in the 10th to 19th fight would have around 1500 liquefied drops of mana.
In the end, this meant that Jason wanted the God's Children to attain a winning streak of 50, meaning that their final opponent would normally be 2 and a half rank above their own mana core rank.
However, this was not the case due to the special reward one would receive with a winning streak of 50. The difficulty would increase a little bit, making it a total of 3 ranks above their own mana core rank!
Jason didn't want to reveal this to the God's Children because they would be able to comprehend that the colosseum was nothing but a child's play to them!
Their mana core rank was not high, but the same couldn't be said about their combat prowess!
For example, Betty, the youngest among the God's Children, was only at the Peak of the 2nd Lique stage. Yet, her strength was already comparable to that of an average 8th Lique stage!
All of that was because of her terrific soul-awakening, and the soul amplification of 25% she received.
Jason's Emperor Eyes could clearly see that her body was on the brink of tearing apart, but it seemed as if the Nature affinity was the only factor holding everything in place.
This was only a temporary solution, but more than enough for their current circumstances. As long as Betty didn't bind another soulbond or allowed her soulbonds to improve their strength, there wouldn't be a problem.
From the looks of it, the other God's Children were facing similar problems, and all of them were using one soulbond to forcefully hold their vessel together.
In the end, this was a clever tactic, but also unhealthy for their body as it would have to endure breaking apart and being tied together.
He was still wondering if that soulbond was also helping them to ease the pain they should have felt, but Jason's queries about the same had always been ignored.
As such, he tried to conduct his own investigation, with the use of his Emperor Eyes.
However, right now, they had to solve something else.
Jason was only smiling at the God's Children, while hinting at a few things about the colosseum.
"As long as you don't place your bets on anything, I'm confident that everyone will be able to attain a winning streak of 50!"
The human race's soul world was just too much of an advantage in the colosseum, and Jason assumed that they would quickly try to find a solution to eradicate the loophole in their system, once a human was to exploit it.
Who would have known that Jason was planning to do exactly the same?
Unfortunately, for that to happen, the God's Children had to achieve their winning streak of 50 first. Otherwise, he might accidentally encounter them, which would obstruct the plan Jason had in mind.
Looking at Merl Arths, he just smiled a little as he shared his final hint,
"Don't forget what sets humans apart from other races! Facing opponents at the same rank is not what God's Children are afraid of, right?"
After he uttered those motivating words, realization dawned upon Merl and even Betty who finally understood what he was talking about. This caused Betty to exclaim.
"Do we have to fight opponents at the same mana core rank?? That would be perfect!!"
Jason just smiled as he nodded his head,
"The opponent's increase of strength every 10 fights is not too high either. At least if you don't want to place your bet on anything.
I propose to achieve a winning streak of 50 during the next few days. After that, spending around two months inside the broken world dimension should be the best to improve our strength before we return to hone our techniques.
Is everyone fine with that?"
Somehow, Jason had turned into the leader of the entire group. It hadn't been a planned move, but he was evidently the only person who could fluently speak, read and write the universal language.
Furthermore, his knowledge was vast in comparison to the others.
It might seem like a disgrace to the human powerhouses that were at least two centuries old, but Merl Arths, one of the old ones, begged to differ.
Rather, it felt like a refreshing change and Merl approved of Jason's plan that seemed to be well thought of.
However, when he heard Jason's next words, Merl couldn't help but frown.
"Let's go shopping!"
