Superbase Evolution

Chapter 1017: Unparalleled Double Hardness
The reason why Pan Xiaoning and Wen Bujun paid attention to the match between Yu Lizi and Lin Shen was not because they knew how powerful Yu Lizi and Lin Shen were, but it was even more impossible for them to know the grudge between Yu Lizi and Lin Shen.

In front of the Kaitian Clan and the Cang Clan, the Nipan Palace can only be regarded as a younger brother. The younger brothers under the two clans are much stronger than the Nipan Palace, so it is impossible for them to pay attention to them.

The reason why the two of them paid attention to this game was purely coincidental.

Pan Xiaoning and Wen Bujun were originally of comparable strength, and the outcome depended on their state and willpower at the time, and had little to do with strength.

Other players of the same level have a huge gap with them and pose no threat to them at all.

It is difficult for them to determine the winner among themselves. Besides, they actually have a very good relationship in private and often practice together. There is no need for them to determine the winner on stage. If they fight to the death and finally die in the Taixu world, it will also be a damage to their spirits.

So the two of them made an agreement. They randomly selected a pair of players to watch the game and each chose one to bet on.

If the person they choose wins, when the two of them meet, the other party will voluntarily give up and admit defeat, to avoid a fight to the end where the two of them cannot determine the winner and may both die.

What a coincidence, they were randomly assigned to the match between Lin Shen and Yu Li Zi.

As the champions and runners-up of the previous session, they were the seeded players this time and did not need to participate in the knockout rounds. They were directly teleported to the stands of this game, intending to wait for the result of the game.

"I've never heard of either of their names. It should be a boring match. I hope it ends soon." Pan Xiaoning said as he walked. He only wanted to know the result and had no interest in watching the match.

But when he was teleported into the stands, Pan Xiaoning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Generally, when less famous players compete, there won’t be too many people in the stands, at most some friends and relatives will come to watch.

But after they entered the competition venue, they found that there were hundreds of thousands of people sitting in the stands. After a quick glance, they discovered that although most of them were lower-level gods, there were also quite a few middle-level and upper-level gods.

"What's going on? Are these two players famous? Why haven't I heard of them before?" Pan Xiaoning called up the system and confirmed again. He had indeed never heard of these two people's names.

Wen Bujun pulled Pan Xiaoning and quickly found a place to sit down so as not to attract too much attention.

Fortunately, they were all wearing sunglasses and hats, so no one could recognize them.

"Looking at the atmosphere, something seems to be wrong. What's wrong with these spectators? They don't seem to be watching a game, but rather a life-and-death duel. This is the Taixu world, and no one will really die. It can't be that serious, right?" Wen Bujun whispered to Pan Xiaoning.

"Could it be that the two forces are using the competition to gamble? Judging from the heavy atmosphere, the stakes are probably quite high." Pan Xiaoning also said in a low voice.

Wen Bujun nodded, thinking that what Pan Xiaoning said made sense.

While the two were talking, they heard someone whispering next to them. They quickly shut up and listened carefully. After a while, they got a general idea of what was going on.

"How could this happen? That Qinglunzi and Long Xiuzi actually bet that Yu Lizi wouldn't even make it through the first round. That's too hasty. Doesn't he know that the system allocation isn't really random? It's usually very difficult for strong people to meet in the knockout rounds. If they bet like this, they really have to rely on God to show His power to have a chance of winning." After hearing the whole story, Pan Xiaoning said to Wen Bujun on the side.

"Let's wait and see. These people are just talking about how powerful Yu Li Zi is and how he is one of the top 100. Maybe he is just bragging. He is not that powerful at all. He is just a weakling who will be killed immediately when he meets a strong man." Wen Bujun said. "It shouldn't be the case. They said that Ding Tian Jia has a strong defense. It seems to be a magic weapon bred by a deformed species with the blood of Zhi Tian Old Turtle. If it is true, with such a defense magic weapon, he should not be eliminated in the elimination round, let alone in the first round." Pan Xiaoning said.

"Let's wait and see. We don't even know whether the artifact is real or fake." Wen Bujun always contradicts Pan Xiaoning on everything.

Pan Xiaoning chuckled and said, "The person you chose is that A-Tian. Of course I hope this is fake, but it looks like it shouldn't be a big problem. It looks like the championship this time will be mine again."

"The game hasn't even started yet, it's too early for you to be so proud. I think A-Tian will definitely win."

“How come you see?”

"Ah Tian... Ah Tian... Isn't this God's will... God sent someone to deal with Yu Li Zi... Yu Li Zi is definitely not a good person... He must be punished..."

"You're really willing to say anything to win."

While the two were talking, the contestant had already been teleported into the arena.

Everyone's eyes were focused on them. Pan Xiaoning and Wen Bujun were also looking at them, but unfortunately they couldn't see what they looked like. Both of them were fully armed, with armor covering their entire bodies.

"Look at the armor on Yu Li's body. The tortoise pattern on it is obviously unique to the bloodline of Zhitian Old Turtle. It really is such a magical weapon. It seems that I will definitely win this time. I am so sorry." Pan Xiaoning said with a smile after carefully looking at the armor on Yu Li's body.

"It's too early to say anything before the winner is decided." Wen Bujun said this, but after seeing the armor worn by the contestant named A Tian, his heart sank.

The armor was gray and looked like it was made of cast iron.

Although one should not judge a divine weapon by its appearance, there are indeed only a few such dull and powerful divine weapons.

What made Wen Bujun even more depressed was that A Tian actually had a shield on his back.

In the toughest god competition, there is a saying that goes "One light, two armor, three helmets, and the one holding the shield is a club."

Whenever you encounter a player who comes out to compete without wearing any equipment, you have to be careful, because these players often have powerful abilities.

Players wearing armor are also more difficult to deal with. There are many talented players among this type, their levels vary, and it is easy for them to fall.

Be careful if you meet someone who only wears a helmet, but this helmet is limited to one person, and that person represents this series, and is very famous. These three helmets basically refer specifically to him.

As for those who hold shields, they are generally noobs. The truly powerful players, among the toughest and most famous players in history, basically do not hold that thing.

So when Wen Bujun saw the shield on Lin Shen's back, he felt a chill running from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
