Chapter 888: Asura Mode, Activated!

"Give me the list!" Ye Yuan said calmly, without any explanation.

Sun Qi's heart tightened, knowing that Ye Yuan had made up his mind and no amount of persuasion would work.

Sun Qi dared not delay and had to list the twenty names for Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan took the list and went straight to the arena.

"I want to activate Asura Mode. This is the list of people I challenge."

Ye Yuan found the arena supervisor, a middle-aged man in gray robes, and handed him the list.

The gray-robed middle-aged man, responsible for the first three floors' arena affairs, naturally knew who Ye Yuan was. But when he heard that Ye Yuan wanted to activate Asura Mode, he was still taken aback.

"Do you know the consequences of activating Asura Mode?" the middle-aged man said solemnly.

Ye Yuan nodded, unconcerned. "Of course I do. I haven't fought a single match on the third floor, so my ranking should be very low. Everyone on the list is among the top hundred martial artists, so I should be qualified to challenge them."

Asura Mode was known as Suicide Mode in the Asura Field!

A martial artist who activates Asura Mode can only challenge those ranked higher than themselves, with a minimum of twenty challengers. They must kill all twenty within twelve hours, or one day, to succeed in Asura Mode and directly qualify for promotion to the next floor.

If they fail to complete the task within the time limit, they will be directly executed by the Asura Field!

This was a mandatory killing rule in the Asura Field; the challenged must immediately accept the fight and could not refuse for any reason.

Generally, no one would propose activating Asura Mode unless there was a deep-seated hatred.

Of course, some powerful killers who wanted to quickly advance to the next floor and gather enough killing intent would also activate this mode.

But very, very few had ever completed this task in the Asura Field!

In the past thirty thousand years, only two people had completed Asura Mode.

And without exception, these two had only challenged martial artists ranked twenty places above them.

Those who survived in the Asura Field were no pushovers; crossing twenty rankings to fight was extremely difficult.

Even if one had the strength, killing twenty opponents in a single day would deplete their primal energy beyond sustainability.

Generally, those who activated Killing Mode did so out of deep hatred, determined to kill the opponent, especially when the opponent refused to fight.

Because when strength was relatively equal, it was hard to kill an opponent in the arena. As long as the opponent conceded, the fight could not continue.

To kill an opponent, one had to resort to such life-and-death battles! And since betting on points required the opponent's acceptance, Killing Mode was the only way to settle mortal enmity.

Of course, it usually came at the cost of one's own life, even if you killed the opponent.

The gray-robed middle-aged man glanced at the list and his expression changed. He said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, I know you're strong, but are you sure you want to challenge Yanshan and Baimeng? Their strength might not be inferior to yours! If you can't kill them within twelve hours, the Asura Field will directly execute you!"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Do I look like I'm joking? Let's begin!"

The gray-robed middle-aged man's face changed several times, but in the end, he sighed deeply and turned away.

"Ye Yuan activates Asura Mode, challenging Hua Jun, Wan Ziheng... Yanshan, Baimeng!"

Above the third floor, a pleasant female voice rang out, immediately causing an uproar.

"Someone's activated Asura Mode! Someone's activated Asura Mode! Ye Yuan? Who's Ye Yuan?"

"Your news is too outdated! This Ye Yuan has been a sensation on the first and second floors lately—the guy who broke the bank on the first floor and beat up Leng Qing on the second!"

"Being impressive on the first and second floors doesn't mean he can be impressive on the third floor! Leng Qing wouldn't even rank in the top hundred on the third floor. Is this kid out of his mind?"

"Huh? Listen... He wants to challenge... Yanshan! Bai... Baimeng! Crazy! This guy is completely crazy!"

Someone activating Asura Mode was already big news, but this guy directly challenging the number one on the third floor—that was even more explosive!

Instantly, the entire third floor erupted!

Those martial artists dropped what they were doing and rushed to the arena.

Such a big battle wasn't something you could see every day.

...

In a restaurant on the third floor, several people were drinking heavily and eating meat.

The voice sounded, and one said, "Hua Jun, someone's challenging you! Asura Mode, tsk tsk, you'd better be careful!"

Hua Jun's face changed, then he laughed loudly, "What fool is this, tired of living? Boss, keep this table for me. I'll be back to drink after I kill that blind fool!"

...

In a top-tier cultivation room, Wan Ziheng heard the pleasant voice, slowly opened his eyes, and silently walked out of the cultivation room.

...

In a room, a man and a woman were locked in a carnal battle when a pleasant voice rang out.

"Damn, what a mood killer! Get out of the way. Wait till I kill that blind fool, then I'll come back and continue!"

The man kicked the woman into the corner, quickly threw on his clothes, and rushed out the door.

...

The same thing happened in every corner of the third floor.

Upon hearing the summons, these people dared not delay and hurried to the arena.

Within half an hour, the arena on the third floor was packed.

In the center of the arena, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, eyes closed, quietly waiting for his opponents to arrive.

"Hey, have you noticed? The opponents Ye Yuan is challenging are all from the camps of Lord Tiandang and Lord Liehuo."

"You don't need to say that. But this kid must have a screw loose. Even if he wants to challenge the two lords' camps, he should pick the soft targets! Look at who he's challenging—all top hundred on the Earthly Fiend List!"

"This kid does have some skill. I heard he beat Leng Qing so badly on the second floor that he couldn't lift his head."

"So what? Leng Qing's ranking is around 150. The top hundred on the Earthly Fiend List are way stronger than those ranked 150! Even if this kid has top-hundred strength, can he kill these twenty people in one day? In my opinion, this kid is just tired of living, activating Suicide Mode!"

"What do you know? I heard this kid has some connection with the Demon King. Don't you know the Demon King was severely wounded by Yanshan a few days ago? This kid must be here to avenge the Demon King!"

The battle hadn't even started, but the arena was already buzzing with discussion.

Whatever Ye Yuan's reason, activating Asura Mode was no different from suicide.

Yanshan had already arrived. He looked at Ye Yuan with a cold smirk on his lips.

Just then, a stir went through the arena as a young man in white robes slowly stepped into the arena.
