With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

"Snow-covered mountains at dusk."

Just as the seventh-ranked player in the second-tier arena, a toxin ability contractor known as the Poison King, seeing that all his poisons had been suppressed to almost no use by the low temperature, finally couldn't help but want to jump out and fight for his life.

As the cold, clear sound rang out, layers upon layers of solid icebergs rose from the ground, and the entire cave began to tremble precariously.

Instinctively covering his lower body, the Poison King was propelled upwards by the massive iceberg, its speed comparable to riding a rocket.

The wind pressure caused his cheeks to contort into an almost comical expression, and the biting wind froze his snot. This made him secretly determined to go back and develop a virus that could withstand ultra-low temperatures.

The cave was destroyed by a crimson iceberg that surged from within. Yang Li rushed out, stepping on an ice pillar with a diameter of five meters, and only then did he understand the true nature of this battle scene.

The natural cave is buried underground, with a real snow and ice field above it, devoid of any human habitation and only filled with swirling snow.

Feeling the surging chill of nature, Yang Li took a deep breath; it was incredibly refreshing and comfortable…

Yang Li, wearing a trench coat, wasn't afraid of the cold because of her Imperial Arms, but the figure below, sandwiched between two icebergs, was shivering and looked rather pitiful.

"Damn it, next time I'll definitely develop a virus that can resist the cold, you just wait."

"Further words are useless; hand over your head!"

The two exchanged a few words, then Yang Li snapped his fingers lightly, and a dense mass of dark shadows enveloped the sky.

Ice stones, each at least five meters in diameter, rained down from the sky, numbering at least fifty or more, making it a qualified large-scale attack.

Faced with such an offensive, the Poison King, who was originally only capable of ambushing people, considered for a moment and did not choose to unleash his ultimate move.

His innate ability allows him to create a terrifying poison that cannot be frozen even at absolute zero, because it possesses extremely strong corrosive and aggressive properties.

But this is just a regular duel in the arena. Even if I lose, I'll only drop a little in rank. I can just challenge one of the 8th or 9th ranked players.

His ability has an extremely long cooldown period, and the poison he creates cannot be preserved. It's better to save his life in the dimensional world than to use it up here.

"I surrender, please stop fighting."

You have achieved your 18th consecutive victory!

[The Judge has won this competition and has risen to 7nd place (Tier 2 ranking)!]

[Want to continue competing? The rewards will be even better if you rank in the top three!]

Countless particles of light scattered, and Yang Li and the Poison King below disappeared simultaneously on the snowfield. The perspective then shifted back to the waiting room.

Yang Li's expression was uncertain. The appearance of the snowfield not only did not exhaust her, but also made her feel energetic, as if she were being nourished.

Perhaps one of the reasons why Esdeath was able to hold off an army of millions single-handedly in the Akatsuki manga was because of the blizzards she created herself?

Previously, because of the black pupil issue, Yang Li hadn't paid attention to the impact of the icy and snowy environment on herself.

With the thought that there was a possibility of breaking into the top three, Yang Li chose to continue competing.

This time, she gave up one option, letting the other party decide whether to allow foreign aid, while she chose the venue herself.

To be honest, if Yang Li hadn't known that the venue would greatly benefit him, he would never have allowed the other side to get foreign aid.

It's important to know that she has no connections in 'Abyss Paradise'. If the other party follows the rules and brings in someone to help, it would be difficult for her to win against two opponents when both are at the same level.

However, Yang Li's strength is no longer at the second level, and with the advantage of the ice and snow field, it might not be easy for her to lose.

After waiting for about 30 minutes, Yang Li's challenge was accepted. After reaching the top ten, the competition was no longer about matching but about challenging for higher positions.

In this situation, the opponent can refuse the challenge and simply give up their ranking.

[A match has been successfully found for the Judge... The opponent is ranked 4th!]

[Battle Begins!]

……

"Brother, what's the situation with that enemy over there? It's been over ten minutes and we haven't seen a single one."

"How should I know?! You're asking me?! Hurry up and fix that junk... What kind of mess is this?!"

On the vast, icy snowfield, a large man stood with his arms crossed, his nose snorting, because he was only wearing a single layer of clothing.

The weather in the battle scene is completely simulated, and the situation regarding external assistance is also quite special, which is why this guy chose to bring his brothers along when he received a challenge he could handle.

The man firmly believed that his opponent must be much stronger than him, otherwise he wouldn't have given up the authority to request foreign aid.

Next to him was a tall man with a buzz cut, diligently working on some large iron lump, which was actually a strategic piece of equipment.

Similar to a multi-functional battle vehicle from the technology side, but actually takes a mysterious route, its attacks consume internal energy and the driver's mana.

This thing needs to be debugged every time it's used, and the startup time alone is 15 minutes. If the opponent hadn't been nowhere to be seen from the beginning, they wouldn't have even tried to start it.

The thick energy shield protected the two people and the chariot. Although it did not block the cold air, it could at least withstand one second-tier attack.

As long as they activate their tanks, which are said to be invincible within the second tier, they will win this battle without a doubt, and will never lose!

"Big brother, it's done! Come and see, it's super awesome!"

"...Holy crap."

The burly man with the buzz cut, who had just successfully started the tank, looked back and found that his older brother's cigar had fallen to the ground. He stared blankly into the distance.

The shadows enveloped the two men in the next moment. The man with the buzz cut looked over instinctively, but the cigar in his mouth fell to the ground.

A colossal ice and snow temple rose from the ground, even beginning to detach itself and slowly ascend into the sky...

PS: 1. This is the first update today.

2. This was supposed to be the third update last night, but the fever didn't return after dinner, so I took a shower, took my medicine, and fell asleep...

3. I'll leave yesterday's chapter for now. I need to take the bus back to school today and go to the clinic to see the doctor again. Four chapters today would be too much of a stretch... Anyway, please remember this chapter I owe, and I'll pay it back before December.

Chapter 318, Section 326: Backed Down? No! This is Just a Tactic

Chapter 318: Backed Down? No! This is Just a Tactic

The 'Sun Temple' is a temple that Cang Yue created in the special place of the South Pole with her absolute control over ice, a temple strong enough to support the sky.

In the Star Stealing comic, the seventy-two demons brought by the main villain Muir V have destroyed ten of the twelve guardian towers of the twelfth palace erected by the demigod Greed Wolf, but the sky has not yet collapsed.

The power to support the sky was something Yang Li could not imitate; at most, she was only at the third rank.

But since we can't imitate it, why not just modify the original?

There's no need to support the sky; you just need to take advantage of extreme weather conditions, build as big as possible, and then use it to smash people.

She finally created a scene that resembled the collapse of heaven and earth in nearly twenty minutes.

The 'Sun Temple' rose from the ground, its weight so great that even Yang Li, who could control super blizzards, found it incredibly difficult to control, but the feeling of cracking walnuts was quite exhilarating.

"Big brother, how about we surrender?"

"Emmm... I'm not confident I can block it anyway, so I'll just shoot."

He then took out a fine Cuban cigar from his pocket, and the guy who was called "Big Brother" by the burly man next to him put the cigarette in his mouth.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, blew a smoke ring at the falling temple, and muttered something under his breath.

"Damn it, this is how you challenge someone, and you don't even see anyone from beginning to end... Well done, I've learned something."

You have achieved your 19th consecutive victory!

[The Judge has won this competition and has risen to 4nd place (Tier 2 ranking)!]

[Want to continue competing? The rewards will be even better if you rank in the top three!]

As the defensive barriers and tanks were mercilessly crushed, Yang Li saw this notification, and the two guys on the other side seemed to have successfully surrendered and retreated.

Choosing to continue the challenge, she plopped down on the sofa in the waiting room and began to think about other things.

Although this victory seemed easy, it actually took a heavy toll on her, and she is still far from being able to achieve anything like the 'Sun Temple'.

Twenty minutes is neither long nor short, but if this weren't in an arena, the opponent would definitely not stand there as a target. Which contractor doesn't have some desperate trump card?

There may be guys who don't hold back, but those guys often die the fastest because they can't fight to the death when it matters most.

For example, if someone manages to push her to the brink, she'll definitely get all sorts of buffs, including 'Berserk' and 'Blood Evil'. If all else fails, she can finish her off with a 'nuclear peace' that applies to everyone.

However, nuclear bombs cannot be used directly. Under normal circumstances, they can only be used to hit people and cannot be detonated.

A violent detonation would be possible, but Yang Li would probably die instantly, and then this thing would truly become a suicide attack. Her idea was to use it for long-range strikes...

Recalling the alchemical knowledge in his mind, Yang Li paused slightly while reading the 'Enhancement and Enchantment Chapter', and then a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

He immediately pulled out the 'Weapon Forging Chapter' for comparison, and a somewhat immature idea gradually formed: the term 'Demonic Nuclear Bomb' appeared in his mind.

Unfortunately, before Yang Li could think further, a long string of subtitles appeared in front of her, and what followed immediately stunned her.

[A match has been successfully found for the Judge... The opponent is ranked 2th!]

[Battle begins... The opponent has forfeited, and the judge is automatically declared the winner!]

You have achieved your 20th consecutive victory!

[The Judge has won this competition and has risen to 2nd place (Tier 2 ranking)!]

[Continue the competition? Note: The first-place reward is extremely useful for Tier 2 Contractors!]

You have a new message!

Yang Li was a bit dumbfounded. The other side not only chose to surrender, handing over the second spot to her, but also sent a message.

She simply tapped the screen to open it, and after quickly scanning the contents, she was both amused and puzzled.

You think I chickened out? No! This is a tactic.

[Please ignore the above paragraph... You must be a specially selected contractor from the dimensional world, right? I'm certain your true strength is definitely more than just Tier 2!]

[I admit defeat. I just used my privileges to watch your last match. I'm not a perception-based character, and I didn't even consider using my ultimate move to break through that temple.]

[I'll go after the third-place player to get the ranking, and you can have the second-place reward. Anyway, I'll still be second place after you advance to tier three.]

Everyone calls me Cowboy, and it's fate that we've met. If we meet again in another dimension, please don't target me!

[Note: As expected, even if you're still a bit short of Tier 3, the Paradise won't let you stay at Tier 2 for long, after all...]

As she carefully considered the meaning behind the words, Yang Li sensed that the other person was implying something, but she still didn't quite understand.

My subconscious thought was to use my judge's privileges to search along the other person's ID number to see just how talented they were...
