Alone and Infinite

I have no idea how difficult the real Eight-Nine Arcane Arts are to master.

Calm your mind and carefully feel the immense power surging through your body, as if every inch of your skin and every bone has been reforged, containing endless potential.

Li Xia slowly stood up and stretched his slightly stiff body. A series of crisp cracking sounds from his joints echoed around him, interspersed with a very low humming sound.

The sound was remarkably similar to the chilling, menacing roar emanating from a tiger's belly. Though not loud, it seemed to possess a penetrating power that pierced the very soul, causing one to tremble involuntarily.

Hmm? This was the word that popped into Li Xia's mind.

He immediately clasped his hands together, his whole body surging with energy like boiling magma.

As soon as he exerted his strength to unleash the Fenjin Cun technique of Hung Kuen, the buzzing sound emanating from his body suddenly intensified.

Like lightning striking a valley, the rumbling thunder echoed endlessly, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.

The legendary roar of bones and muscles, the thunderous sound of tigers and leopards!

The thunder of an ordinary person is so faint that only they themselves can hear it.

However, with Li Xia's extremely powerful physique, the thunderous sound truly sounded like muffled thunder.

I glanced at the panel of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

[Inheritance: Eight-Nine Arcane Arts (Incomplete)]

Current level: LV2 Beginner (2%)

Additional passive effect:

1. Indestructible Body: Physical Strength +2

2. Physical Indestructibility: Self-Healing Power +400% (Passive)

3. Unified Primordial Chaos: Reduces non-physical attack damage by approximately 40% and increases abnormal status resistance by 55%.

Excellent! Very powerful!

His physical rank has now reached level 3, so a small-caliber pistol hitting his body is no different from a mosquito bite.

In addition, Smaug's Scales have incredible defensive strength, making them difficult for even anti-materiel sniper rifles to penetrate.

With the added speed and agility of the Flying Technique, Li Xia felt he was not far from becoming a Homelander.

I'll have to wait a while longer before I can completely give up eating beef.

However, Li Xia's mind flashed back to the mentally ill woman who shot him, and to Old Liu trembling as he held up a gun and told someone was willing to buy his life.

His face gradually darkened.

Once the night's silence has faded, some things should be settled.

You have entered the Arena (Tier 2)

This is your first time entering. Please read the following instructions.

[1. The Arena is a special location where Tier 2 Apostles can battle.]

2. You can use any skill you possess in the arena.

3. Killing an opponent using a skill that results in mutual destruction or sacrifice of life will be considered a draw.

4. The competition uses a points system. Players who win 10 or more consecutive matches can choose to skip ranks and challenge higher.

5. The top ten in the Arena will receive special rewards.

After quickly reading the prompts, Li Xia selected to start matching.

Night Silence hasn't finished fusion yet, and since he's just idling around anyway, Awoo suggested he try playing in the arena.

Although losing his weapons would inevitably weaken his strength considerably, Li Xia is different from the usual 'weapon' masters.

Their strength truly lies in their weaponry.

My strongest asset is actually my body.

[Testing Executioner Competition Points]

The Executioner's competition score is 0.

[Currently ranked 64872nd. Looking for a match.]

[We have found an opponent with a similar current ranking, and we will soon begin preparing for the match!]

[Venue is being randomly selected]

[Battle begins!]

A sudden and intense sense of teleportation swept over me, and I was instantly enveloped in endless darkness.

First, I felt a dry and scorching wind howling past, the wind as rough as sandpaper, scraping against my skin, carrying an unbearable heat.

The darkness before him slowly receded, and Li Xia looked around, seeing nothing but endless yellow sand.

Desert terrain?

Although Aowu was made of mud, it instinctively disliked this environment and simply landed on Li Xia's shoulder.

About several dozen meters away, a figure was slowly getting up in a superhero-like iconic landing pose.

Although they were quite far apart, their voices drifted on the wind:

"I'm sorry, you can only blame your bad luck for running into me..."

His words carried a hint of mockery, yet also an undeniable authority.

master?

Li Xia's expression remained unchanged; he simply raised his right hand slowly, and his index finger, which was originally naturally bent, suddenly straightened.

In an instant, the air around my fingertips seemed to be compressed rapidly, emitting a heart-stopping "buzz!"

A white beam of light, as thick as a pencil, suddenly shot out from the fingertip, covering a distance of tens of meters in an instant.

The man, who was holding a sniper rifle and preparing to leave, suddenly shuddered as a bullet pierced his forehead.

You have defeated your opponent, gaining 10 points and moving up 1382 places in the rankings.

Li Xia glanced at the prompts and then at his own True Qi bar.

Even the 10-point True Qi Cave Wave couldn't withstand it?

But the victory is already a certainty.

In the blink of an eye, I was back in the preparation room.

After selecting a match, the familiar process begins.

The person opposite them struck a pose, as if they wanted to have a conversation.

Li Xia simply extended her finger.

"laugh----!"

You have defeated your opponent!

Chapter 130 The Art of Identifying Strong Individuals!

"You...you attacked me from behind!"

In the cramped boxing ring, the opponent clutched his pierced heart and knelt on the ground.

His superhuman physique prevented him from dying immediately, and he looked at Li Xia with resentment.

As a melee fighter, being randomly assigned to a boxing ring, a terrain perfectly suited to him, should have been a happy thing.

But just as he was about to launch a sneak attack, he saw the other side raise a finger.

A bright light flashed, and the system indicated that it was finished.

Shameless!!!

How could they strike before I could launch a sneak attack?

shameless!

He gritted his teeth and returned to the battle room, locking onto the opponent. He wanted to see how this shameless scoundrel who resorted to sneak attacks would be trampled underfoot.

It's just a 50-point spectator fee, right? I'll pay!

Li Xia had no idea what his opponent was thinking; he looked at the prompt in front of him and felt speechless.

[You have won ten consecutive matches. You are now able to jump to a higher rank. Please select the rank you wish to jump to.]

[Note: If you jump too high a rank, failing the challenge will disable rank jumping until you achieve a ten-win streak.]

That's ridiculous! Ten opponents, and the total battle time didn't even last a minute.

I was instantly captivated by Dongdongbo the moment we met!

It's still the 10 o'clock hole wave! Although they are all apostles numbering over 50,000 ———

Li Xia clicked her tongue. "Fifty thousandth place. That's alright then."

After thinking for a moment, he slid his finger across the panel in front of him.

Choose your jump ranking—jump straight to 10,000!

Ten thousand people shouldn't be instantly killed by the Hole Wave, right?

"laugh------!"

You have defeated your opponent!

Li Xia silently withdrew her finger, remaining silent to Aowu beside her.

The ten-thousandth ranked opponent died a humiliating death at the hands of Dodonbo.

Gradually, Li Xia also came to her senses.

The Hole Wave is somewhat similar to an ion beam weapon; it is extremely fast and difficult to dodge unless you dodge before it is launched.

Unless you infuse a lot of air, the 10-point Hole Wave is extremely fast to start, taking less than 1 second.

Li Xia had experienced the hole wave, and it was Tao Pai Pai's full-power hole wave.

The area targeted by the hole wave will experience a strong stinging sensation; that's your senses giving you a warning.

Therefore, dodging before the hole wave is launched is actually the best option.

The hole wave, when released at full power, requires a few seconds of gas gathering time and has a 0.5-1 second stagnation time upon launch.

It's okay to hide at this time.

Li Xia just didn't expect that Dongdongbo would actually achieve a 1v11 kill streak.

There's no other way, keep jumping!

[Executioner, you have chosen to jump to 1000th place. Confirm?]

confirm!

A biting wind swept across the vast square, stirring up the snow that had accumulated on the ground.

Li Xia slowly raised her hand.

"laugh----!"

Intense light burst forth from his fingers, shooting towards the opposite side.

A figure dozens of meters away dodged past in the blink of an eye.

The spectators on the viewing platform erupted in a tremendous roar, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

At the top of the square, a row of spectators sat prominently.

Their faces were contorted with rage as they roared to the sky, expressing the excitement in their hearts.

Two people were even holding up a huge banner that read, "Despicable and shameless people are petty; launching a sneak attack at the start is not manly."

These were the 'wrongfully deceased souls' who died under the Dongdong Wave. Outraged, they called upon their friends and relatives, and summoned dozens of people.

We must see how this despicable scoundrel who relies on ranged skills to climb the rankings dies.
