Battle Ball

**Battle Ball** (战斗球), Devil Football, Devil Soccer is the Demon Realm version of football. There is also a Battle Ball Association. Battle Ball became popular and spread from Fallen Angel to other parts of the demon realm. For example, see Battle Ball in Bloody Empire.

## History

About 2 months ago, a free battle game was held in the arena between the imperial guards and the garrison guard. From that time onwards, the Dark Moon people began to fall in love with this passionate and exciting sport. There was teamwork, personal glory and all kinds of splendor in the battle ball.

In that battle, the underdog garrison guard team actually defeated the imperial guards team by just one goal, and they were rewarded with 50 sets of high-quality armor. Since then, the arena had held a game once a week. Both sides had a fair share of victory and loss. Almost every game was full house. The battle ball had also become popular throughout the entire Dark Moon. Princess Royal Shea had deliberately used several abandoned areas on the corners of the city to build simple fields with basic magic circles setup for residents to use for free.

## Versions

In addition to the large scale 11-player battles, the battle ball could also be used for 3-player and 5-player small-scaled competitions. In a flash, it became the most popular sport in the Dark Moon. There were even fights breaking out due to fighting for the use of the arena, so Shea had to send garrison guards to maintain order and act as a referee. For some time, the battle balls could be seen in all the streets.

The Princess Retail Store and the Cloak Gang’s magic store also launched several deluxe and ordinary versions of the battle ball. There were competition editions and popular versions which were sold at a reasonable price, so they sold like hot cakes. The battle ball was easy to learn, but it was not easy to master it. Particularly because the ball would absorb the power, kicking it was extremely laborious. It had virtually trained the combat power and the physique of the Dark Moon residents.

### Flame Legion

The garrison guards who returned to the barrack looked unusually excited. The players were welcomed like heroes, and their morale was unprecedentedly high. More people began to actively study and participate in this sport. Even when the wide-sized barrack was divided into three football fields, it could hardly meet the increasing enthusiasm and needs of the guards.

Of course, this sport couldn't completely replace the military training. With Chen Rui's suggestion, Athena made corresponding adjustments to the training content and arrangements on normal days. Those with excellent performance and fastest progress could prioritize participating in battle ball activities.

Outstanding performers would serve as the garrison guards representatives. They would participate in the open competition with the guards in the arena a month later. As a result, the soldiers were more motivated. The results were remarkable.

The arena controlled by Arux had been inactive since the heroic deeds of No. 64 "Aguile". Chen Rui launched the "battle ball" with the purpose of killing two birds with a stone. Besides solving the conflicts between the guards, it would also be the arena's main profitable project in the future.

Old Gauss greatly admired Chen Rui's mind. *From the perspective of training, this sport includes strength, speed, stamina and gravity-adaptability training. More importantly, it will build teamwork. From an entertainment perspective, it is an exhilarating battle that can attract many enthusiasts for a long time. From the economic benefits perspective, this is a project that can promote the development of the surrounding economy and bring huge benefits. Not only that, this kind of activity is likely to cause all residents to follow and imitate in the long run. This can further improve Dark Moon's combat strength and cohesion, which is more conducive to the Princess Royal's ruling.*

*Since coming to the Dark Moon, this human has introduced so many innovations, and many of them are incredible. This time, he created this wonderful "battle ball"* (战斗球)*.*Old Gauss felt fortunate that such a talent was on his side rather than his enemy. He was also thankful that Chen Rui had returned to the Dark Moon Estate after acquiring a series of promising genius titles. *Why won't the Princess Royal consider the marriage proposal?*

After the success of the arena trial, the follow-up work was assigned to Old Gauss and Arux. Chen Rui did not focus on this aspect. After all, compared with the real plan, this was only a brief interlude.

### West Road

As a battle sport project to enhance the combat effectiveness and competitiveness, the battle ball had been promoted to Mount Xilang defense forces, and a wide stadium had been built in the mountains. In addition to giving him two pieces of equipment that surprised Tim, Chen Rui also issued a strange command about the battle ball during his visit this time. He also made special adjustments and improvements to the magic circle of the defense forces’ battle field.

## Fans

The battle ball arena was always a full house. It was even hard to get a ticket. Many residents had also spontaneously formed private teams. They even used their own funds to rent the arena for training or competition when there was no formal competition.
