Chapter 386: Goenitz vs.
Rugal
On the eighteenth floor of the Sky Arena, Ignis was personally present, mingling in the front rows to watch the two men's battle.
Their potential was such that they could stir up trouble in the future, and they were also the reliance for Sound Nest's true development.
Rugal possessed powerful learning ability, mastering various schools of body technique, absorbing their essence, and forming his own unique mixed martial arts.
As a tough Fighter Faction, every punch he threw was filled with killing intent.
Goenitz's body technique, on the other hand, combined hardness and softness, allowing him to freely switch between offensive and defensive styles.
Ignis wasn't sure who would win, but it was clear that Goenitz had a higher starting point.
While Rugal was getting stronger, Goenitz wasn't standing still either.
In his heart, Ignis still leaned towards Goenitz.
Rugal hadn't fully developed his potential in the past years.
Like the future Marine Admiral, Sakazuki and Borsalino, who were currently learning in the Elite Training Camp, Rugal's combat strength would reach its peak later than Goenitz.
Many people were paying attention to this battle, including some Overlord-level Great Pirate in the New World, various Faction.
Even the Marines.
They would pay attention to young Monster who were making a name for themselves on The Great Sea in advance.
Marine Headquarters Elite Training Camp.
On this day, the students of the Elite Training Camp were rarely gathered together.
They sat cross-legged on the Training Ground's open space, their gazes fixed on the large screen that had been set up beforehand.
The image on the screen was a live streaming feed from the eighteenth floor of the Sky Arena.
On The Great Sea, watching battles in the Sky Arena required payment.
Large screens for broadcasting were set up on some Island around the World, and the World Government could conduct world-wide live streaming through these large screens.
The Marines could also use these screens to convey some news, such as live streaming the promotion ceremony of a Marine Admiral, which were free.
This was because the World Government and the Marines themselves had special purposes.
The Sky Arena was different.
Generally speaking, the battle images from the latest visual den den mushi were purchased by the World Telephone Bug Group from the Sky Arena at a high cost.
For example, fifty billion Beli a year, including all battle images and live streaming from the first to the fourteenth floor of the Sky Arena.
As for how the World Telephone Bug Group charged, that had nothing to do with the Kronos Kingdom.
And the live streaming images from the fifteenth to eighteenth floors were at a different price.
To save on cost, watching battle images via large screen was undoubtedly much more convenient.
The large screen had a width of twelve meters, which was more than enough even for the Giant Tribe to watch.
One village, one Small Town, one large screen was enough to satisfy thousands of people watching together.
And the cost of purchasing the broadcasting fee for one large screen was eight hundred thousand Beli.
It seemed like a lot, but when a group of people shared it, the amount each person paid was actually very little.
It was much more convenient than paying to purchase from the World Telephone Bug Group.
Gradually, this became a norm.
Whenever there was a great battle with huge traffic in the Sky Arena.
Some villages and Small Town would contact the Sky Arena's official channels in advance and pay to purchase the broadcasting rights for that battle.
Even to specifically watch the Sky Arena's battles, some villages, towns, and Island without large screens would specially pay to install large screens.
This led to a surge in profit for related industries.
To meet the demands of more people, in just two years, eighteen-meter wide large screens and twenty-four-meter wide large screens were also introduced.
If desired, a forty-eight-meter wide large screen could even be built.
On Paros Island, there was even a dedicated Sky Arena Newspaper with Branch in various Sea Area.
The content of the newspaper was published every two days, detailing some events within the Sky Arena and the upcoming battle sequence and time arrangement for star figures.
This allowed people to clearly understand the schedule of great battles between star powerhouses within the Sky Arena and prepare in advance.
Just like watching a movie, around the World, in front of large screens, a group of Resident and even Pirate brought out stools, holding melon seeds and gourmet food while watching the live streaming feed.
The eighteen-meter long screen installed in the Marine Elite Training Camp cost them a considerable amount of funding.
Zephyr was not rigid; sometimes, he would find some battle images from the Sky Arena for the students of the Elite Training Camp to watch.
To learn how others fought.
Competitor who could climb from the lower floors to the higher floors of the Sky Arena were all battle-hardened.
Even Zephyr himself could sometimes learn something.
There were only three hundred students in the Elite Training Camp, including members of various other races.
Those in the front positions were undoubtedly the outstanding students in the Training Camp.
Although Goenitz wore a mask and even dyed his hair silver.
Kyle still recognized Goenitz because he was simply too familiar.
He had a good relationship with Ignis, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with Goenitz.
More importantly, he had been defeated by Goenitz more than once.
Even now, at the same age, his win-loss ratio against Goenitz was only three-to-seven, with him having three wins and Goenitz having seven.
Goenitz was a body technique genius, whose combat awareness was second only to Ignis.
Similarly, his physique was somewhat special; he had a natural cold-blooded physique, allowing him to remain calm at all times.
This was his talent.
It seemed Ignis had already begun his operation.
Kyle thought to himself, he and Ignis hadn't met for two years.
"Watch this battle carefully.
They are among the most outstanding geniuses on The Great Sea.
See how they fight."
Zephyr instructed seriously, then looked at the screen.
These two were also talents he was paying attention to, but the probability of them joining the Marines was not high.
"Kyle, what do you think their rating is?"
Borsalino asked casually.
Besides his powerful combat potential, Kyle also possessed rich theoretical knowledge and excellent analysis ability.
They had watched the two men's battles before, but they hadn't faced each other.
They were indeed very outstanding, putting them under considerable stress.
The rating Borsalino mentioned was the internal classification of their potential within Marine Headquarters.
Or rather, their comprehensive ability.
"I don't have a say in this matter," Kyle rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"But A+ is the minimum."
Any higher would reach S-rank.
