Alone and Infinite

"Sigh, whatever, but your mana—never mind, I'll increase my acquisition efforts and see if I can get any equipment that increases your mana cap."

"Hehe—no need!"

Xingguang slammed his wine glass on the table with a 'duang', pinched his chin, and his high intelligence of 24 points allowed him to quickly arrange and combine possible models in his mind.

He narrowed his eyes, a smug smile playing on his lips:

"Old man, I've wanted to change the rankings for a long time, but Behemoth has blocked all the potential challengers—you're saying I'm admitting defeat and deliberately dropping out of the top ten?"

"Will that bastard get beaten to a pulp?"

Starlight's eyes sparkled; he had wanted to do this for a long time, but due to certain reasons and unstable factors, it could only remain a concept.

Now is the time to seize the opportunity!

Night Silence was pulled from his chest, bringing with it a spray of blood.

The short man in front of him looked at Li Xia with resentment.

"bang"

The corpse hit the ground with a dull thud, then gradually faded and disappeared.

[Executioner, you have defeated the eighth-ranked player in the Arena's top ten.]

[Special Phase Mission: Path of Glory Completion Progress Increased]

[Effect of the Top Ten Honor Badge in Competition]

Something's not right, why is this eighth place so weak?

It can't be said that he's weak; the eighth one is quite agile—but unfortunately, he's still a little slower than himself.

He also possesses highly skilled close-combat techniques, which, according to the conventional classification of apostles, would be at least at the specialist level in close combat.

Unfortunately, he is still far inferior to me.

He also has considerable resistance to energy attacks and can even reflect them.

So Li Xia rushed up and stabbed him into a leaky pot.

Overall, the eighth place is quite balanced, but none of them are particularly outstanding.

In the preparation room, Li Xia was about to take a look

Starlight (High Council of Arcane): "That was awesome, bro!"

He somehow got his hands on a Pokémon's 'Mirror Coat,' it's disgusting! It can bounce spells back almost anything.

I almost threw up from disgust, but anyway, thank you.

A mirrored coat?

Li Xia frowned as he recalled the skill. Could humans actually learn Pokémon skills?

I'm guessing it's a skill that's been specially modified for the Hall of Fame.

Aowu and Heitan rushed over, one carrying a towel and water, the other using their ancestral "kneading" technique to massage the muscles.

Li Xia:

I simply clicked "Continue Matching" and then opened the Arena panel.

【summer】

[Ranking: Top 10, Number 8 (Tier 2)]

[Win rate: 100%]

Average playing time: 1 minute 46 seconds

As for

The extra Hall Points gained at the end of the World Championship have been increased to 2000.

It's roughly equivalent to a few combat recovery potions or a regular small blue item.

It's still better than nothing.

In terms of attributes, Li Xia still only has 1 point of comprehension, which he values ​​most.

However, the number of free attribute points has been increased from five to seven.

If we calculate it by adding one point for each place you advance, getting first place should give you 14 attribute points!

It's definitely not a small amount; it's only slightly less than one's own world.

An opponent has been found.

Li Xia closed the panel and slowly stood up.

Keep pushing!

Several hours later

Li Xia grasped the Night Silence that had transformed into electric current and returned, when a long black arrow pierced his chest.

It looked quite horrifying, but the core seed of the Freemasons of Light was already lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

Health: 46%

This was the first time Li Xia had suffered such a serious injury in the arena.

Nearly 40% of the damage is dealt by the final hit.

The Freemasons of Light seem to have a unique system of inheritance, similar to divine magic.

Finally, the beam of light that descended from the sky caused Li Xia considerable trouble, immobilizing him for a full three seconds.

In addition, its unique light-attribute burning effect meant that even the dragon scales on its body could not completely defend against it.

Moreover, the black arrow that was shot made Li Xia discover something very interesting.

That is, when a crisis occurs, one's luck increases to the point of being swallowed by misfortune, but these do not happen simultaneously.

There is a subtle time difference in between, less than a second.

But that's enough time to make a judgment!

Therefore, the Black Arrow's finishing move failed without any doubt.

The joy of accident!

[Executioner, you have defeated the third-ranked player in the Arena's top ten.]

[Special Phase Mission: Path of Glory Completion Progress Increased]

[Effect of the Top Ten Honor Badge in Competition]

"Your Highness, does this mean that kill-type or probability-based judgments will be less effective against you in the future?"

As soon as he returned to his private lounge, Aowu couldn't wait to ask.

“Yes, that’s very likely.” Li Xia nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “But it’s not certain. Luck doesn’t guarantee success; it just increases the probability that things will turn out well.”

"That's quite impressive!"

It circled around and howled: "Can't stay still, can't run away, can't fight back, the opponent's despair—!"

Li Xia didn't reply, but instead closed her eyes and lay down on the chair, taking the time to rest.

The arena can restore physical injuries and skill cooldowns, but it cannot restore mental energy.

Or perhaps the Temple of Light believes that this fatigue after consecutive battles is also part of the competition.

After defeating the eighth-ranked player, he played five consecutive matches.

As it turns out, even with the strength of the fault line, the few who stood out from over 100,000 apostles were by no means pushovers.

Each has its own unique skill; for example, when playing the fifth match, the opponent simply burrowed into the ground.

I don't know how deep they've burrowed, but it seems they're trying to stay hidden and wage a war of attrition.

The ground is like a hedgehog; every now and then, thorns of earth will sprout and fly over.

Standing on the ground, it will gradually sink, and the spikes will grow incessantly, as if it has taken some kind of medicine.

Li Xia didn't have any good solutions either; neither fire nor lightning could overcome the earth.

This is also the longest battle Li Xia has ever fought in the arena.

I've seen people who are sneaky, but I've never seen anyone sneaky like this.

No wonder people say that the top ten aren't necessarily all about pure skill; they might also be just too suited to PvP.

For example, if you use the ability to burrow underground to fight a boss, the boss might just turn around and leave, but that won't work in the arena.

Finally, Li Xia simply sat cross-legged and floated in the air, where the ground spikes only had a damage strength of around 5.

Aside from getting covered in mud, it can't do anything else.

The amount of true qi consumed by the Flying Dance technique is even less than that recovered through meditation.

Finally, the people who were burrowing underground ran out of energy first and chose to surrender right there underground.

Li Xia, who was seething with anger, didn't even get to meet him, and then he was unlucky enough to be fourth.

Fourthly, he was even somewhat connected to me; he was a core seed of the second-tier guild, Time Scavengers.

The system he built was none other than the Swamp-Swamp Fruit. His already considerable strength, combined with the Swamp-Swamp Fruit's enhancement, allowed him to climb from 7th to 4th place.

Unfortunately, this fruit was completely countered by Li Xia, and the swamp it formed wasn't very large. He simply threw the electric gun in and then called Aowu over.

Every now and then, bolts of lightning would strike, quickly paralyzing and revealing the target. After being brutally beaten, the target simply chose to surrender.

As for the other top ten, neither ranged archers nor melee fighters caused much trouble.

Right now, the top spot in the arena is within reach!

[Matching successful]

[Audience size: 99]

[We have found opponents with similar current rankings; awaiting their confirmation!]

[Current opponent ranking: 2th]

[The opponent refuses to fight!]

[Executioner, the ultimate arena in the second tier challenges you with a special challenge: Deathmatch]

[Bet: 1 Hall of Fame Point, Comment: Trash, dare to take the bet?]

[Note: Deathmatch Challenge is a special challenge. Victory will reward you with your opponent's Bloody Key and betting prizes.]

[Note: There is no penalty for refusing to engage in deathmatch; you can continue with regular ranked matches.]

Li Xia narrowed his eyes as he stared at the notification floating in front of him.

"Your Highness—"

"I know there's a trap."

Li Xia's face showed no unusual expression, not even a trace of emotion.

"Ow"

"I am here"

"Tell me, what if I choose to refuse—"

"Of course, it is Your Highness's calm and self-possessed nature that allowed you to see through the enemy's schemes and tricks. You are truly worthy of being called Your Highness!"

Li Xia suddenly smiled, and without hesitation, he nodded in agreement amidst Aowu's almost lit-up gaze.

"Then... kill him!"

"Meow!"
