n“How shameless!”

n“A coward who only runs away…”

nThe Weapon Warrior raised his voice, “A draw!”

n

n

n“Wow…”

nThe audience was at a loss for words.

nLi Yi remained calm while The Mountain was dumbstruck. He thought he was going to win.

nThe Mountain was puzzled. “A draw?”

n

n

nLi Yi walked towards The Mountain and revealed his HP bar. It was full.

n“How did you…”

n“The Hall of Fame Equipment Set has the minor effect of recovering a small amount of HP every second. Cough, Brother The Mountain, such an effect is common on equipment. Didn’t you know that?”

nIt completely threw The Mountain off.

n

n

nSoul Staff Technique could remove 1 HP but Li YI’s Hall of Fame Equipment Set could recover around 500 HP per second. This was within the rules of the duel and different from taking potions to recover.

nLi Yi’s earlier random firing was not due to panic but to coordinate with The Mountain for his amusement. If he was not certain, he would have blasted The Mountain out the ground immediately.

nThe Mountain awkwardly smiled. “A draw? Are we both out then? I’ll be damned if that’s the case. It’s better if I let you win.”

n“It’s too late to say that now.”

nFortunately, the Weapon Warrior did not announce the disqualification of Li Yi and The Mountain. The numbers on the ground began to rotate violently.

nLi Yi’s muscles relaxed. “Phew, it looks like we both made it?”

n

n

nThe Mountain’s brows eased up. “I hope my next opponent isn’t you, I don’t want to be out this early.”

nThe two exchanged smiles.

nThe rotating numbers stopped. This time, Li Yi and The Mountain were lucky as neither of them were chosen.

nAnother two participants walked up the stage. One was the Windcloud Clan’s fierce Thief, Windcloud Killer while the other was the former Little Drunk Cat’s super healer, Nirvana Inaction.

nEver since Nirvana Inaction had transferred to the Windcloud Clan, he had shared a great relationship with Windcloud Killer.

nThe duo went up the stage and smiled, in a display of friendliness.

nWith both parties nodding in agreement, the battle began.

n“Brother Inaction, allow me apologize in advance!”

n

n

nWindcloud Killer seized the first chance to attack. Yelling out loud, he swung his arm out to hurl a knife.

nSzh —

nNirvana Inaction did not bother to dodge. Windcloud Killer’s flying knife flew seven or eight meter out of range.

n“Light Blade!”

nNirvana Inaction unleashed a spell, gathering a ball of light before raising his staff to fire it.

nThe light ball did not hit Windcloud Killer. Instead, it made a dash into the sky…

n“That was good!”

nShouted Windcloud Killer. He then made several slices with the dagger in his hand towards the air.

n“Wham! Wham!”

nNirvana Inaction returned the favor by firing another two shots into the sky.

n“Szh szh!”

n“Wham wham!”

nThe duo was fighting with such vigor on stage, while the spectators below were gobsmacked.

n

n

nWas this still a motherf*cking duel?

nHe was on his side, fighting on his own. He was on the other side, fighting on his own. Both of them were not in contact with one another. It was obviously a fake fight!

n“F*ck me…”

n“F*ck f*ck f*ck…”

n“Can this be done?”

n“What sort of strategy is this?”

nGasps filled the room.

nSoon, the three minutes was over. Windcloud Killer and Nirvana Inaction ended the battle unscathed.

n“Brother Inaction, you were great.”

n“Brother Killer, so were you.”

n“Hahaha, we’re the same.”

n“The same.”

nThe two walked down the stage with arms around each other’s shoulder.

nWeapon Warrior declared the battle’s result, “A draw!”

nA Warrior with a temper jumped out. “I object! It’s obvious it was fake! How can they pass? You allow this?”

nCarulla waved her arm at the Warrior. “Back down!”

n“Back down your motherf*cking b*tchy *ss, they did not play fair, f*ck me…”

n“Wham!”

nA divine light shot out of the full moon scepter, blasting the mad Warrior to pieces.

n“This Warrior has blasphemed the gods and lost the right to battle!”

nThe room was silenced.

nThe numbers rotated once again on the ground.

nThe Weapon Warrior announced, “Brother Simon versus Black Wing!”

nThe Warrior who had been removed was a member of the Fluttering Snow Alliance. The two participants selected were also from the Fluttering Snow Alliance.

nBrother Simon and Black Wing walked up on stage, nodding at each other, the battle started.

nBuzz buzz!

nWham wham!

nBrother Simon flung his knife about while Black Wing firing his spells randomly. The two had a tacit agreement to fight without hitting each other. They were imitating Windcloud Killer and Nirvana Inaction’s earlier stunt.

nThree minutes went by and Brother Simon and Black Wing ended the duel unharmed.

nThe Weapon Warrior declared the result, “A draw, both parties out!”

nTwo divine lights were fired from the full moon scepter, teleporting both Brother Simon and Black Wing out of the hall…

n“Out for cheating…”

n“What’s going on? Why could they do it, but they couldn’t?”

nEveryone down the stage were at a loss.

nThe numbers began to rotate again…

nThe Mountain smiled, “The System auto-corrected the mistake. You can fool the rules once but not a second time.”

nThe numbers stopped at 3 and 18.

n“Dark Wing versus Flying Fire!”

nPicked again, Li Yi shook his head and walked towards the ring.

nThe Weapon Warrior, Flying Fire was an expert that had emerged in recent years. He was kind of famous in the Southern Continent but was still a long road away from Li Yi’s popularity.

nFlying Fire pointed his glaive. “Dark Wing, you’re dead meat!”

nTen seconds later, Flying Fire collapsed on the ground.

n“Dark Wing wins, Flying Fire’s out!”

nThe numbers on the ground rotated, stopping at 2 and 21.

nLi Yi went down the stage as it was The Mountain’s turn this time.

nTwenty seconds later, The Mountain gained an easy win.

nThe numbers kept going on the ground. Li Yi, The Mountain, and Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut were picked several times but none of them came across each other.

nLittle Elf from the Magical Realm did not have much luck as she encountered Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut on her first try. As she was not as skilled as Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, she was defeated.

nNirvana Inaction came across yellow-robed Priest, Ah Ye and after a struggle, he was defeated.

nAs the numbers kept jumping on the ground, countless players were defeated…

nTwo hours later, there were only five players remaining in the Ruler of Gods’ Palace.

nThe Mountain, Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, Qian’er, BB East and Li Yi remained while the rest were eliminated.

nThe Mountain stroked his Orange Quality Quarterstaff out of habit and smiled at Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut. “I guess we’re going to be gods now, huh?”

nFluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut turned away, refusing to look at him.

n“Mm, there’s only five more…” God-queen Carulla suddenly spoke.

nThe five stared at the God-queen, waiting for her to answer.

n“Mortal, you’ll accept the challenge of my divine servants. You’ll possess the right to Ascension once you defeat my divine servants.”

nThe Mountain was in shock. “Divine servants? Holy cow, we’re still not there yet?”

nThe Weapon Warrior wielded an ultra-long Frozen Saber and walked towards the ring.

n“We still need to defeat him? WTH man?” BB East felt his head throbbing.

nSzh szh szh szh szh…

nThe Weapon Warrior spun the Frozen Saber in his hands before stabbing it on the ground.

n“Bam!”

nA cold chill spread out, adding to his imposing grandeur.

nGod-queen Carulla coldly replied, “He is my first divine servant. If you wish to become gods, you must first defeat him.”

nZzh!

nThe name above the Weapon Warrior’s head was revealed. It was — Tyrant Sword King the Eighth!

n…
