Li Yi maintained his posture as he sat cross-legged on the floor, teleporting ten meters horizontally to avoid the blade aura coming at the back of his head. At the same time, Dolly’s body sparkled with white light as she used her Chain Arrow Skill, shooting the person who ambushed him.

“Cyclone Formation!”

“Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh—”

The Thief who ambushed him was none other than Blue-Blooded God. Having taken two of Dolly’s arrows to the face, his health fell to zero, but because he had used the Cyclone Thief’s special Territory, Cyclone Formation, the skill was activated even though he had died.

The bright gleam of a blade appeared every so often, and Blue-Blooded God flashed again and again, flipping high and low in the Cyclone Formation…

It was only when the Cyclone Formation ended that Blue-Blooded God fell flat to the ground, his health bar empty…

His body vanished in an instant, and Blue-Blooded God resurrected in the distance. He had not used any of three free resurrections yet.

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

Before the resurrected Blue-Blooded God could move, Li Yi leaped and shot three arrows at him, killing him again.

He did not give Blue-Blooded God any opportunities after that either. He killed Blue-Blooded three times, once after each resurrection, forcing him out of the Battlefield.

Li Yi had been extremely wary of Blue-Blooded God. Otherwise, that Cyclone Formation would have been enough to kill him.

Although his Sensory in God Mode could not pinpoint Blue-Blooded God’s position, Li Yi was still certain that Blue-Blooded God was nearby. The latter had probably used some special equipment to hide his tracks.

It was only when Blue-Blooded God attacked that Li Yi figured out what item he was using.

It was the Heart of Destruction!

This was an uber legendary piece of equipment dropped by the Night Emperor. Li Yi had yearned for it for forever in the past life.

The Heart of Destruction was a tool that allowed its user to enter Absolute Invisibility mode. No sensory skill would have been able to find him.

When in Stealth mode, Blue-Blooded God’s ATK increased by 2 to 5 times, and he also had a special skill known as Shadowstalker. Earlier, Blue-Blooded God had been right behind Li Yi, but Li Yi just could not sense him.

As soon as Blue-Blooded God died, the Safe Zone was now completely safe. Li Yi went wild, going on a purple-named boss killing spree.

The purple-named bosses were not the bosses with the highest points in the Battlefield. There were still the orange-named bosses and the ancient bosses, but these were too powerful and too difficult to kill, therefore too much time to make them worth it.

Li Yi only killed the purple-named bosses, staying far away from the orange-named and ancient bosses.

Three hours passed in an instant, and by the time Li Yi’s point tally reached 126, more than half of the bosses had been killed.

There were four Safe Zones in every Battlefield, scattered in the four directions. At the very center were the Boss Hunting Grounds, and after three hours of hunting, Li Yi could now look through the throngs of bosses and see the players in the other three Safe Zones.

Li Yi looked at the point rankings. He was still in the first place.

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”

Li Yi drew his Orange Quality Bow and launched a super long-ranged shot.

A pale blue Star Arrow flew across the bosses’ head and crashed right into the players on the other side.

“Pfft!”

A Wizard with 50 points noted above his head was hit by the arrow and killed in an instant, lying flat on the ground.

Li Yi’s long-range sniping traveled more than 160 yards, taking the players on the other side completely by surprise.

“Ding!”

The Wizard with 50 points above his head resurrected in the Safe Zone, whereas the tally above Li Yi’s head read 135 points now. On the other hand, the Wizard now had 40 points.

“You f*cking retard over there, f*ck you…” the Wizard swore. How could he not be mad? He had just lost 10 of the points he worked so hard to earn.

Li Yi ignored him. This was a purely PvP Battlefield, so anyone who did not want to be killed should not come in here. Even the system allowed players to kill each other freely and rewarded them for doing so. If anyone insisted on swearing when killed in here, that person had to be an idiot.

Li Yi took a deep breath and released his Chrono Territory at full strength.

The golden light barrier expanded, and as soon as it touched the horde of bosses, the bosses began to grow riot. Countless bosses roared, rushing at him.

There were only slightly over 5 minutes left before the Battlefield closed.

“Smack-smack-smack-smack!”

With a flick of his wrist, Li Yi shot some Flame Arrows at a few bosses in the distance that had not been pulled over. After that, he just stood there with his bow. When the bosses charged at him, he used Teleport to reappear where the bosses had been. He then aimed at the players opposite him and used his True Overlord Arrow.

Li Yi was now firmly at the top of the point rankings, but to him, these points were nowhere near enough. He was aiming for the God Wars Overall Rankings, not just a mere Battlefield’s.

If he wanted to get a high score, killing bosses by himself was not going to cut it. The best option was still to kill other players.

The bosses turned around and pounced at Li Yi. Li Yi ran forth as he unleashed his True Overlord Arrows. The players he was aiming at did not have anywhere near the same attack range he did, so they could only take his hits without retaliating.

“Ding ding ding!”

The points above Li Yi’s head kept increasing. When the bosses caught up to him, he already had 268 points.

That was enough!

“Teleport!”

Li Yi summoned the Battlefield’s exit panel, and he just had to tap it lightly to teleport himself out of the Battlefield before the bosses could catch up to him.

With 268 points, Li Yi topped the Battlefield point rankings by a long shot.

“Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap…”

The God Wars Rankings changed, and Li Yi climbed the ranks until he was fourth in the rankings, forcing Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut down one spot.

Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. “Phew, I finally got up.”

There were players swearing at Li Yi on the World Channel again. They were the players Li Yi had just killed.

Li Yi laughed them off.

Li Yi went to Jewelfina and tried Heavenly Favor a few more times. However, the results were quite disappointing. He was still very unlucky, and even his best try only netted him slightly over a hundred.

Looked like he had to work harder on the other events.

After he completed some missions at the foot of Mount Pantheon, Li Yi contacted Zhang Yan again and had her head to Starting Point City to officially start her training.

As Li Yi was giving Zhang Yan some special training, Jiaojiao sent him a message, saying that a Thief had ambushed her, but she had killed him and chased him away. Not long later, Qian’er sent him a message as well, saying a Thief ambushed her, but she made him drop a Heart of Destruction.

Shortly after that, Little Elf from the Magical Realm sent him a message, saying that a Thief had ambushed her but she had tortured him to death.

After that, Jiaojiao sent him a message, saying that a Thief had ambushed Fire Ice, but he was seen and killed…

Li Yi led Zhang Yan’s special training for half a day, and the girls’ messages kept flooding in for a day.

Blue-Blooded God seemed to have gone crazy after Li Yi killed him. He could not beat Li Yi, so he tried to attack his girlfriends, but Li Yi’s girlfriends took turns torturing him instead…

And after that, he only persisted even harder.

Chen Yang was the first to find out, and he immediately set a National Wanted Order, hunting Blue-Blooded God with every member of his entire country. Soon, Brother Windcloud Nine followed suit, as did Big Boy. Within two days, Blue-Blooded God had become Public Enemy Number One, and he was hunted down everywhere he went.

Thanks to Li Yi, history had changed once again.

Another one of the top-tiered powerhouses from the previous life’s God Wars Rankings had vanished.

Li Yi gave Zhang Yan special training every day in many different areas, including her reflexes, awareness, and skills. He taught her everything he knew, and while he was teaching Zhang Yan, he accepted a few more disciples as well, such as Sister Windcloud Nine, Fire Ice, and the newly-appointed lady cop, Xu Yue.

All of them were airheads, so needless to say, they were not particularly easy to teach…

More than ten days passed in an instant, and of the four of them, Xu Yue improved the fastest whereas Sister Windcloud Nine made the slowest progress.

Zhang Yan made considerable progress as well, and now it was much less likely for her to make a mistake when running a dungeon. On the other hand, Fire Ice was the steadiest of the four, in that she did not stand out in a good or bad way. Only Sister Windcloud Nine stayed as silly and airheaded as always…

After a dozen days of hard work, the God Wars Rankings changed again. Li Yi entered the Top Two and was now in second place. The person at the top changed too: it was now Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut.

Someone else had taken third place in the God Wars Rankings too. The Mountain was a proper dark horse who raced all the way to the top, going from not being on the rankings at all to third place within just over ten days.

Li Yi was unhappy that he was ranked behind Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, but he just could not score highly in Heavenly Favor, and the effects were just too evident. Although he did not like this, he had no choice either.

On the 67th day of the God Wars Rankings, the Pantheon developers announced the introduction of the final event.

The fourth and last event of the God Wars Competition was known as Bounty Hunt. Any player who participated in this event would obtain a small plaque with a number. This was their Bounty Contract, and they just had to kill any players within twenty places of their rank to increase the point tally on the plaque.

The rules of the Bounty Hunt event were simple. If players just killed others who were close to their rank, their points would increase steadily. Of course, if one was unfortunate enough to be killed, their points would also decrease at an alarming rate.

The second seed player from last year’s God Wars Rankings, The Mountain, had only dropped from the first place to the second because he had been killed by another during the Bounty Hunt event.

Bounty Hunt began at 9 in the morning every morning and lasted until 9 in the night. In the meantime, players who accepted the quest could kill their opponents however they pleased, and they would not be punished for it either.

While the Bounty Hunt event had started, Li Yi was in no rush to accept the quest. Instead, he continued to train the four girls as usual, improving their battle prowess.

“If you’re surrounded by the enemy, don’t panic. Use your eyes to observe them carefully and identify their class, looking for a weakness to exploit…”

On the newly reconstructed plaza in Starting Point City, the four girls stood in a row while Instructor Li Yi paced with his hands behind his back, teaching them how to face their enemies.

Sister Windcloud Nine raised her hand. “Sir, I’m a Wizard, so how can I exploit their weaknesses?”

“You can use a Group Fear spell or Confusion Most to block the enemy’s line of sight.”

Sister Windcloud Nine continued, “And then what?”

“And then…”

“Whoosh—”

Before Li Yi could reply, a figure appeared thirty meters behind him.

The newcomer was wielding a sword and a shield. It was none other than Unending Unmatched.

Unending Unmatched held his Bounty Contract in his hand, and he froze as soon as he saw Li Yi. “Guild Leader…”

He had accepted the Gunter quest and used his Bounty Contract to teleport to his prey’s location. Only then did he realize that his prey was none other than Li Yi.

The Hunt Order had the ability to send one to their target’s side once, for free.

“It’s alright, come at me!”

Li Yi smiled and waved his Orange Quality Bow at Unending Unmatched.
