Survival Arena

Chu Ge climbed upwards along the steep cliff, his claws scratching long marks into the rockface.

Now weighing over 400 jin, climbing was extremely hard for him, especially when faced with nearly vertical cliffs—it was like trying to ascend to heaven.

In the upcoming Ultimate Peak battle, he would surely encounter such cliffs.

He began to harness geothermal heat, causing his four claws to become scalding hot.

When he touched the rockface again, he felt it soften.

To be precise, it took on a powdery feel.

His claws could easily pierce into the cliff, the heat turning the surrounding crevices into magma.

Of course, this was only a small area.

But it was enough to show that Chu Ge's claw temperature could reach three to four thousand degrees Celsius.

The greatest effect of geothermal heat was on his claws and teeth.

The surface of his body definitely wasn't as hot when in a geothermal state.

Since awakening his geothermal talent, he could feel the warmth inside him slowly increasing.

With the help of geothermal heat, Chu Ge's climbing became easier.

However, turning the rocks into magma took some time, so his climbing speed wasn't fast.

The others didn't have it so easy.

Especially Xiao Poor Thing, Nangong, Gu Tianjiao.

They could manage climbing trees, but such cliffs were really putting them through the wringer.

But with only five days, no matter how hard, they had to grit their teeth and learn.

...

Early the next morning, Chu Ge told his parents that he would be going on a five-day business trip in four days.

He had already informed them, so he didn't meet any resistance.

Han Yujuan just cautioned him a few words.

Afterwards, he used going out to play as an excuse to avoid his family's eyes and then went into the Survival House to train.

There was only one day left until the Ultimate Peak battle.

Evening.

Chu Ge opened his computer and started looking up information about Huashan.

"Huashan, its highest peak is over 2,500 meters..."

Chu Ge read from the computer screen and suddenly frowned.

He remembered the highest point of Huashan being only 2,100 meters, right?

Could he have remembered it wrong?

Or could it be that the past life and the present life are not the same world?

Chu Ge took a deep breath and decided not to overthink it; he had to seriously jot down the general info of Huashan.

Especially the treacherous parts and the species of wild animals.

Huashan, today, is a tourist site, and ferocious wild animals are essentially extinct.

"Knock knock—"

Just then, a knock at the door sounded.

Chu Ge minimized the search page and then opened a video player.

He got up to open the door.

Chu Yingying stood at the door, holding a fruit plate, and she said with a smile, "I have something I want to ask you."

Chu Ge took the fruit plate and asked, "What's up?"

"Let me in! What are you doing in there that you don't want people to see?" Chu Yingying glared at Chu Ge and said with irritation.

Chu Ge had no choice but to step aside.

Chu Yingying sat on Chu Ge's bed, glanced at his computer screen, and seeing that the homepage recommendations were all animal documentaries, she laughed and asked, "Why aren't you watching lion documentaries?"

Chu Ge sat back at his desk and answered nonchalantly, "You want to ask about lions?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yingying nodded excitedly.

"I want to go to Africa to see lions. Aren't there native African lions in the wildlife parks there? Maybe I could see the lion that saved me before," said Chu Yingying with a burning gaze.

Chu Ge felt a headache coming on.

"My dear sister, please give up on that idea. If you go to Africa, you might not be eaten by an African lion, but you could end up being sold by someone," Chu Ge said, shaking his head helplessly.

He then asked, "What about Tong Lianshi? Why don't you go out and play with her?"

Chu Yingying shrugged. "A relative of hers from the countryside died, so she has to go back for a week."

A week?

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes; surely this woman couldn't be a Survivor too?

Probably not, she's so gentle. If she were a Survivor, she would have been gone long ago.

But her departure coincided exactly with the timing of his Survival Competition.

Could it be Gu Tianjiao?

The voice didn't match.

Gu Tianjiao had a mature allure in her voice while Chu Yingying had a cute, girlish tone.

Xiao Poor Thing?

That girl didn't seem to have such good acting skills.

Chu Ge fell into deep thought.

"Hey hey, is there really no way to go to Africa, or could you come with me?" Chu Yingying shook Chu Ge's knee and asked.

Chu Ge came back to his senses and suddenly remembered that he too needed to go to Africa.

Why not take this opportunity to let Chu Yingying witness his work and then tell their parents, providing irrefutable proof?

He felt it was feasible!

"How about this, I'll discuss with my company later to see if I can go to Africa, and if I can, I'll take you with me," Chu Ge pretended to be in a dilemma.

Chu Yingying immediately became delighted.

...

Early morning.

Chu Ge, lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes, which were sharp as those of a male lion.

He sat up rigidly, threw off his covers, picked up the backpack that was ready, and disappeared from the room.

Upon arriving at the Survival House, he transformed into the form of an African lion.

With a commanding presence!

He walked calmly and steadily, yet his heart was already surging with waves of emotion.

The Climbing to the Pinnacle battle was about to begin!

He had never longed for a Survival Competition to begin so earnestly!

He was going to hunt down King Kuihu!

Gu Tianjiao, Xiao Poor Thing, and Arno gathered together, waiting.

Not far away, Ye Wukong was still practicing his boxing.

His punches were so fast, they were astounding.

He had already exchanged for Cat's reflexes and enhanced strength, far surpassing himself from the last Survival Competition.

When Chu Ge approached, he asked, "Where are Nangong and Local Snake?"

"They haven't arrived yet, wait a bit longer," replied Gu Tianjiao.

She eyed Chu Ge, and even though he appeared calm, she could feel the murderous intent radiating from him.

Xiao Poor Thing felt the same, so she seemed very jittery.

Arno glanced at Chu Ge but said nothing.

Ten minutes later.

Nangong and Local Snake appeared one after the other.

Ye Wukong stopped his training and came over to join the group.

"Have you looked up the environmental data for Huashan?" Chu Ge asked.

Ye Wukong nodded and said with a wry smile, "Boss, the foot traffic around Huashan has been quite heavy these past few days."

A large number of people could affect their battle.

Especially for Chu Ge and the Roaring Tiger Group, should they be exposed, it would definitely cause panic, and they might even be met with human military blockades and manhunts.

"So what if there are a lot of people! I will tear King Kuihu to pieces in front of millions," Arno snorted.

Upon hearing this, Nangong's eyes lit up.

It sounded so badass!

"Let's first see where we land. There might be even more Survival Teams this time than the last, perhaps dozens, otherwise the Survival Arena wouldn't hide the number of teams. Everyone, stay vigilant," warned Gu Tianjiao.

The crowd nodded.

About another half hour passed by.

The Survival Competition began!

"The Climbing to the Pinnacle battle has officially begun!"

"1. All Survival Teams will fight to the death; for each enemy killed, 200 Survival Points will be awarded..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The indifferent female voice echoed on schedule.

Chu Ge, Gu Tianjiao, Arno, Ye Wukong, Nangong, Xiao Poor Thing, and Local Snake were ready for battle.

In their eyes, there was only the will to kill and excitement, no fear!

They were no longer novices, having been through numerous life and death battles!

The duration of this Climbing to the Pinnacle battle was the same as the High Mountain battle.

120 hours!

Five days!

But this time, the situation was even more dangerous.

Because of the Vengeful Ghost's Revenge!

After the indifferent female voice finished speaking, the seven resolved individuals vanished into thin air.
