Chapter 169: Talent Manifestation
October 15, 2052...
In the morning, Wen Yu teleported out for breakfast, then logged back online.
Before long, the familiar system notification sounded.
"Ding! ~"
"The fourth round is now starting: Round-Robin Top 100! 100 to 10!"
"The first match of the fourth round will begin in 30 seconds!"
"Note: Round-Robin Top 100! Each player completes 10 matches! The top 10 will enter the World Top 10!"
"Note: After this competition ends, the World Combat Power Top 100 Ranking will be opened!"
"Note: After this competition ends, Blue Star will synchronize game Talent!"
Hearing the system notification, Wen Yu was also taken aback.
"Is the game Talent going to manifest in the real world?"
Wen Yu had actually thought about this question before. It went without saying that he could farm rabbits, so whether Talent manifested or not had a negligible impact on him.
Including many Talents like [Money Maker!], there was actually no difference between having them and not having them.
But what about Lin Sirong's Talent? 1 Constitution equals 100 HP. Without Talent bonuses, wouldn't it be incredibly trash?
Now he knew: Talent would also be manifesting.
Wen Yu's first opponent today was a strong enemy again.
Although they didn't have a place on the World Level Ranking.
But being a mage as well, they were able to chip away at a lot of Wen Yu's HP.
Although life-threatening danger was completely impossible, in less than a minute of dueling, they still managed to take off over 100,000 of Wen Yu's HP.
The class characteristics were also very interesting; a poison-using mage, but the poison gas could be materialized, turning gas into liquid.
The continuous damage was indeed quite impressive.
It had been a round-robin tournament since the top 1000, and those who could truly make it to the top 100 were all true "dragons and phoenixes among men."
In the second match, Wen Yu encountered the third-ranked player from the East India Region, a Hidden Class [Puppet Master], who could even control Wen Yu's movements in a very short time.
However, no matter how strong the control was, it seemed powerless under Wen Yu's Escape into the Void.
In the third match, it was a ranked player from the Sakura Region, but after entering the top 100, their stamina was clearly lacking. Wen Yu took them out very easily.
In the fourth match, Wen Yu ran into Ye Qian. From Ye Qian, Wen Yu learned that she had no hope of advancing. In the second match, she was unlucky and ran into the first-ranked player from the Great Britain Region, who was also a player on the World Level Ranking.
After a bitter fight, she still ended up defeated.
...
Fighting until the eighth match, Wen Yu saw an acquaintance again.
Snake Granny had been smooth sailing all the way, without encountering any strong enemies, and had walked right up to Wen Yu with a winning streak.
However, she clearly had no intention of competing with Wen Yu.
The two of them chatted for a while.
Today Wen Yu could make spatial equipment again, and Snake Granny also expressed her willingness to purchase.
Wen Yu naturally agreed; he was just worrying about who to sell the next piece of equipment to.
Snake Granny was quite open-minded about whether she could make it into the top ten.
"Meeting you is fate. My strength really isn't enough to get into the top 10."
In the 100 to 10 competition, as long as you lose one match, there is no hope of making it into the top 10.
Even if they eventually entered a playoff, choosing from among those who also won 9 matches, Snake Granny was clearly not enough to contend with those who won 9 matches in the Top 100 Round-Robin.
And as Wen Yu expected, from the moment Snake Granny met Wen Yu in the eighth match, she went from a winning streak to a losing streak.
She ended this Top 100 competition with a final record of 7 wins and 3 losses.
And Wen Yu successfully entered the World Top 10.
"Ding! ~"
"World Announcement: The fifth round of fun activities will begin at 9 AM tomorrow! Players who failed to enter the top 10, please be prepared!"
...
The top 10 matches were scheduled for the day after tomorrow. The remaining time today would decide the final list of the top 10.
Tomorrow was the ranking match for 11th to 100th place. In the regional competition, this match was scheduled on the same day as the top 100 competition.
But the World Championship was more grand, using the entire day tomorrow to rank the world's top 100!
A total of 6 people achieved a record of 9 wins and 1 loss in this top 100 tournament, and these six people would compete for the last two seats in the top 10.
What shocked Wen Yu was that among this group, he actually saw Pierre.
As the perennial second-place on the World Level Ranking, he actually lost a match.
Wen Yu hadn't forgotten his high damage during the National War.
"I underestimated the heroes of the world. Even he lost a match."
Wen Yu guessed that he might have lost to that player from the White Bear Country.
In the 6 to 2 competition, besides Pierre entering the top 10 with a perfect record.
The last seat was taken by Punishing Sword 1, a player from the Great Britain Region who was also on the World Level Ranking.
Wen Yu could finally look forward to the top 10 showdown the day after tomorrow!
...
The game Talent should have manifested into the real world by now.
Wen Yu took off his helmet and checked his attributes.
Enlightenment, Wen Yu's greatest contributor on his gaming journey, appeared at the bottom of Wen Yu's attribute panel without any surprise.
Talent: Enlightenment (Every time a monster is killed with a normal attack, Intelligence +1 permanently).
The Talent description was exactly the same as in After Tomorrow.
Wen Yu couldn't wait to find a "monster" in reality to try it out.
He sent a message to Aunt Huang, telling her not to come and cook today; Wen Yu planned to cook himself today.
Teleporting to travel, he arrived at the nearest vegetable market and bought 3 fish in one go, then bought a packet of rattan pepper fish seasoning.
That's right, the "monster" Wen Yu found in reality was fish.
Returning home, with a flash of the knife, he gutted the fish.
After scooping out all the fish guts, and waiting a while until the fish stopped struggling, the system notification sounded in Wen Yu's ear.
"Ding! ~"
"Talent skill triggered successfully, Intelligence +1."
"Sure enough! Killing fish can also improve my Talent."
Trying is just trying; Wen Yu had no intention of being a butcher in the real world.
It was still easier to cut rabbits in the game...
Rattan pepper fish, Wen Yu had finished cooking it.
The taste could not be described by the word "disgusting."
"Good heavens, I followed the steps, how the hell is it so disgusting."
"It must be that the seasoning wasn't bought right!"
After wolfing down a few mouthfuls of rice, Wen Yu decisively chose to log in.
The first thing Wen Yu did after logging in was to check his attributes.
Excluding the bonuses from equipment and the potential attributes added by equipment, the base Intelligence attribute in the game was 3 points lower than Wen Yu's attributes in the real world.
"Killing monsters in the game synchronizes to the real world, but the fish killed in the real world cannot be synchronized to the game world."
...
The time had reached past 1 PM, and Wen Yu spent three hours finishing all the dungeons.
Level 95 arrived as scheduled.
The mysterious veil of the level 100 dungeon finally appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
Great Demon God.
There was only one level 100 dungeon, and as Wen Yu expected, it was the greatest enemy that Blue Star was about to face: the Great Demon God!
He had already come into contact with its three great generals in the level 90 dungeon, and each was a terrifyingly strong existence.
Wen Yu really didn't know, since the weakened demons were already so powerful, what would everyone rely on to resist when the real body descends on Blue Star in the future.
Taking a deep breath, he checked his equipment and attributes.
Wen Yu resolutely embarked on this crusade.
***
Chapter 170: Terrifying [Great Demon God]
"Ding! ~"
"You have entered [Demon World (Modified)]. Please kill the [Great Demon God] within 3 hours!"
"Countdown 180 minutes! Begin!"
At this moment, Wen Yu had already entered the hell difficulty [Great Demon God], and even Wen Yu himself was prepared for defeat.
There was no other reason; upon entering the dungeon, the system prompted that the [Great Demon God] allowed 3 [entries] per day, with a maximum party size of 1000 people.
"Back to the starting point again ~"
3 entries allowed per day; this was a rule that only existed before the Second Class Transfer. Unexpectedly, upon reaching a level 100 dungeon, it had "returned to simplicity."
"A level 100 thousand-person raid dungeon; can I, by myself, actually clear this or not..."
This was the first time since [Akailer] that Wen Yu felt unsure of himself.
When Wen Yu opened his eyes and looked around, he discovered that he was currently in the midst of a palace complex. Palaces stood all around him, and the one directly in front of Wen Yu was even more magnificent and imposing, looking exactly like the imperial palace of the "Jade Emperor" from Chinese legendary lore.
Just as he was considering whether to enter the palace directly, he noticed the sound of dense footsteps coming from all around!
Turning his head to look, it was an endless number of demons rushing toward Wen Yu!
The number of them far exceeded the level 80 dungeon [Demon Tribe Gathering Place]!
Under the [Insight Technique], the attributes of the demons also shocked Wen Yu—they were all, without exception, level 100 demons!
"Damn it! Isn't it supposed to be a direct fight against the Great Demon God?!"
Although Wen Yu complained, his heart felt half as heavy.
If it were a thousand-person raid dungeon, with three hours, just to fight this one [Great Demon God].
Then the attributes of the [Great Demon God] would likely be heaven-defyingly strong, but if ordinary demons participated, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
"That's fine, I can finally farm my equipment progress again!"
Activating [Space Blessing], Wen Yu decisively started farming.
Under [Four Plates Harmony], countless demons fell to the ground. In the [Demon Tribe Gathering Place], one [Four Plates Harmony] was enough to kill all the monsters.
But it was different in the [Great Demon God] dungeon. The vast area around him became a vacuum, yet the demons mindlessly rushed toward Wen Yu like madmen.
10 seconds later, [Four Plates Harmony] disappeared, but the demons had not been wiped out!
There were still countless demons rushing toward Wen Yu.
Wen Yu nodded, looking down on the Great Demon God even more.
"I'm afraid that for players, the time needed to kill the demons in the front will definitely not be less than two hours."
Despite the massive number of demons, they had no way to get close to Wen Yu.
With the buff of [Space Blessing], the range of all of Wen Yu's skills was expanded.
[Endless Black Hole] combined with [Ice Shard], interspersed with [Four Plates Harmony].
In just a few minutes, Wen Yu had slaughtered all the demons completely.
His equipment progress increased by a full 5000, which also marked that 5000 demons had died at Wen Yu's hands.
The ground was densely covered with demon corpses, and Wen Yu was a bit curious.
These certainly weren't real demons in the dungeon, so why didn't the bodies disappear after being killed?
And very soon, the [Great Demon God] gave Wen Yu the answer.
A strange noise came from the sky, and a figure plummeted rapidly from the sky.
Wen Yu didn't have time to use [Insight Technique] and immediately [Escape into the Void].
And the moment the Great Demon God hit the ground, both the demon corpses on the ground and the rows of palaces turned into dust instantly.
"Good grief, you kept the bodies just so you could show off, right..."
Wen Yu also looked toward the Great Demon God. Compared to the demons he had seen before, the Great Demon God conformed much more to human aesthetics.
His long hair had been cut short, and there were no longer fangs exposed in his mouth.
His scarlet eyes looked as if he were wearing extremely beautiful colored contact lenses.
His height was no longer that of a behemoth like the three great Demon Kings under his command.
At about 1.8 meters tall, apart from a suit of pitch-black armor, the parts exposed were full of muscular definition.
His skin tone leaned toward a wheatish color.
"Good grief, you are simply too handsome."
Wen Yu dared to assert that with this appearance, if the Great Demon God were placed on Blue Star, he would absolutely be a superstar!
[Insight Technique] was used immediately!
[Great Demon God] (immortal-rank boss)
Level: 100
Introduction: The great co-lord of the Demon Tribe, who has dominated the "Dark Star" alone for 30 million years, and is the culprit behind the destruction of numerous planets!
Health Points: 10,000,000
Physical Attack: 500,000+50,000
Magic Attack: 500,000
Defense: 200,000
Skills:
[Touch of Certain Death] (Common skill for immortal-rank boss, enters Invincible state for 30 seconds after activation, enemies attacking will immediately have their HP reduced to 0. Ignores death immunity)
Hard Collision (Demon leader skill, deals 300% physical damage per second to any enemy unit touched)
Falling Bloom (Rapidly crashes to the ground, deals 500% magic damage to all ground units within a 1000 * 1000 meter range, causes instant kill effect on all ground units with remaining HP below 50%)
???
???
...
Wen Yu counted carefully; besides the three skills he could see, there were another 13 skills behind them that were question marks.
"I'm afraid even the will of the planet doesn't know exactly what skills this Great Demon God has."
And just seeing [Falling Bloom], Wen Yu made up his mind.
This thing must absolutely not be allowed into Blue Star. Even after being weakened, it is this terrifying; if its true body descended upon Blue Star, it would absolutely cause the most horrific disaster in this world.
A full 10 million Health Points also made Wen Yu slightly click his tongue in astonishment.
Exiting the void, Wen Yu first attempted to strike down a [Chain Lightning] from above the BOSS's head.
MISS
"..."
"Damn it! Is this even playable? It didn't even show that he activated [Invincible]!"
The Great Demon God turned to look at Wen Yu. In just an instant, Wen Yu felt that his spirit had suffered an extremely serious injury.
His whole body was teetering.
Decisively using teleportation to distance himself from the Great Demon God again, his spirit finally recovered a little.
Not knowing how long the BOSS's [Invincible] would last, Wen Yu stood where he was, unsure whether to attack or not.
And the Great Demon God clearly had no intention of stopping there, taking out his longsword.
That was a giant sword shining with golden radiance.
The sword was so large that it even exceeded the Great Demon God's own size.
Yet it was still easily held in the Great Demon God's hand!
In a moment of distraction, the Great Demon God disappeared from where he was, and when he reappeared, he was already right in front of Wen Yu.
He immediately used teleportation to adjust his position again, dodging the Great Demon God's terrifying strike.
[Void Annihilation] was unleashed, and this time, it finally dealt damage to the BOSS!
- 1,000,000
The BOSS immediately entered a locked-health state, standing still, closing his eyes, with scarlet light rising from his body.
Wen Yu was not prepared to use [Escape into the Void] to dodge this attack.
If Wen Yu couldn't withstand this hit, then this Great Demon God was not an existence that Wen Yu could currently fight.
When the BOSS opened his eyes again, monstrous demonic energy surged toward Wen Yu, and the giant sword in the Great Demon God's hand was raised above his head.
With a slashing motion, thousands of sword auras burst forth, bringing with them bursts of explosions in the air.
And Wen Yu took this terrifying damage head-on!
- 3,293,884
"..."
The terrifying amount of damage gave Wen Yu a fright!
He had indeed withstood it, but his shield value was now in critical condition because of it!
And above the BOSS's head, at this moment, the number +500,000 appeared!
"!!! You can even heal?!"
***
Chapter 171: Clearing [Great Demon God]
Seeing the boss's HP instantly recover to 9.5 million, Wen Yu knew that his journey with the Great Demon God probably wouldn't end in a short time.
Seeing the boss's skill end, Wen Yu decisively activated [Four Plates Harmony], and then hid in the void again.
-1,000,000 damage appeared again, and the boss entered a meditative state once more.
Subsequently, thousands of sword qi raged again, and the boss recovered HP once more.
"Well, it's not percentage-based HP recovery attacking me. This boss just recovers half its HP every time it locks its health!"
"In other words, if I want to kill the Great Demon God, I need to force it into the health-locked state a full 19 times!"
Wen Yu could afford to drag out the time; there was still plenty of time left before the dungeon's 3-hour limit.
[Four Plates Harmony] dealt a total of 1 million damage to the boss, and at this moment, the boss still had a full 8.5 million HP left.
Wen Yu wasn't planning on showing himself just yet. Only when the duration of [Escape into the Void] naturally ended would it be time for Wen Yu to reveal himself.
While staring at the boss, Wen Yu noticed a surprising scene: the Great Demon God seemed to be able to see through the void, its eyes fixed directly on Wen Yu's location.
No matter where Wen Yu teleported, the boss could track him immediately.
"No way, bro! You can even see me when I [Escape into the Void]?"
Seeing the Great Demon God raise its heavy sword toward him, Wen Yu decisively refreshed his [Magic Shield].
A massive sword qi blast headed toward Wen Yu, but it merely passed through his body and slammed heavily into the ruins behind him.
"Phew, that's a relief. It can see my position, but it still can't hit me."
With that, Wen Yu set his mind at ease.
Now the boss had reached Wen Yu, and while various skills flew about, none of them could cause any substantial damage to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu was also analyzing the boss's various skills.
"Most of the skills are completed using the heavy sword, while a small portion should be related to magic damage."
He activated [Void Pressure], but found that the Great Demon God seemed completely unaffected, not even slowing its attack frequency in the slightest.
"This [Void Pressure] is really only useful for fighting small mobs."
...
The duration of [Escape into the Void] ended, and Wen Yu reappeared, striking the top of the boss's head with another [Chain Lightning].
This forced the boss into the health-locked meditative state again, but this time, Wen Yu wasn't prepared to just stand idly by.
[Void Lock Target] was used, and massive chains assaulted the boss, instantly trapping it in place.
"It worked?"
[Void Lock Target] had a full five seconds of control time, and Wen Yu hoped it would take effect to prevent the full-screen skill from being released after the health lock.
However, it was clear that Wen Yu had thought too much; the priority of [Void Lock Target] was not high enough for that. The terrifying sword qi still came blasting toward Wen Yu.
...
The battle of attrition with the boss lasted a full 30 minutes before Wen Yu finally managed to whittle the boss's HP down to only 1 million.
When the boss had 3 million HP remaining, Wen Yu activated the [Space Wormhole], attempting to kill the boss directly while it had 2 million HP left.
Obviously, Wen Yu failed. The priority of the health lock had likely reached a terrifying level.
Aside from the 1% instant-kill effect from his title, there probably wasn't any skill with a higher priority than that.
However, the 1% trigger probability was truly too low. Since Wen Yu obtained the title, it had only triggered three times, and two of those were while farming mobs.
A [Void Orb] struck the boss precisely, and the dungeon clearance notification finally rang in Wen Yu's ears.
"Ding! ~"
"Killed [Great Demon God], EXP + 1,000,000"
"Congratulations on obtaining [Demon Blood Bracelet]"
"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment materialization card] * 1"
"Congratulations on obtaining [skill materialization card] * 1"
"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential attachment card] * 20"
"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential elimination card] * 20"
The rewards were still standard, and there wasn't even any [super potion] output.
[super potion]s were still only produced in the [Demon Tribe Gathering Place] dungeon, with a stable acquisition rate of 6 bottles per day. Wen Yu had already accumulated many in his [space ring]. He would materialize them all together when the time came.
The drop of the [Demon Blood Bracelet] finally let Wen Yu see the tip of the iceberg of the Mage immortal-rank set.
[Demon Blood Bracelet] (Immortal-rank) Level: 100 Magic Attack + 20,000 Intelligence + 1,000 Agility + 1,000 Luck + 5 Set Effect (1/5): None
Wen Yu knew that, barring any accidents, this set of equipment should be his final set in [After Tomorrow].
...
It took another hour or so to finish the remaining two dungeon runs, but the equipment he obtained wasn't something Wen Yu could use. It didn't matter, though; as long as he could beat them, collecting the full set was just a matter of time.
——————
He crafted one of the immortal-rank accessories obtained previously in the [Wind Emperor Tomb] into [spatial equipment] and completed the trade with [Dragon Duke] and [Snake Granny].
12,000 [skill upgrade card]s allowed Wen Yu to reap a huge haul once again.
Both of them had entered the top 100 of the world level leaderboard. Tomorrow was the battle that belonged to them, and Wen Yu genuinely cheered them on. He hoped they would achieve good results.
For the time being, Wen Yu wore the [enforcer mask] and returned to the [Novice Village] again. Although he could already beat the weakened version of the [Great Demon God], it was still not safe enough.
Through this dungeon journey, Wen Yu also knew that if, in the future, the Great Demon God truly descended on Blue Star, he was likely the only one who would have even a slim chance of stopping its footsteps.
...
Time quickly reached 9:00 AM on October 16th. The system notification had already rung in Wen Yu's ears.
"Ding! ~"
"World Announcement: The first match of the fifth round of the fun event will begin in 30 seconds! Please have the top 100 players who did not make it into the top 10 ready!"
For Wen Yu, today was a day without matches. The recent high-intensity gaming had left Wen Yu somewhat exhausted both physically and mentally. Today, Wen Yu prepared to rest well, starting the morning by watching the matches.
Aside from farming dungeons and rabbits, Wen Yu didn't plan on doing anything else all day today.
Last night, while farming rabbits past 11:00 PM, he received a message from [Ye Qian], saying she had discovered a hidden dungeon.
The [Women Should Be Strong] team had already gone in; the small mobs were already very difficult to kill, and the [immortal-rank boss] was certainly not something the few of them could defeat. She hoped Wen Yu could take them through to clear it.
Wen Yu naturally had no problem with that, but he had already agreed with [Ye Qian] and the others beforehand: 200 million gold coins to carry them through the hidden dungeon. Wen Yu wouldn't take anything that dropped from the dungeon, including the targeted class transfer scroll.
In the end, only [Ye Qian] entered the dungeon with Wen Yu. It took half an hour, and they finally cut down the [immortal-rank boss].
Just as Wen Yu expected, it dropped another targeted class transfer scroll. [Zitherist Transfer Scroll]
This was a [Hidden Class] for an Archer. The class weapon changed from the usual bow and arrow to an ancient zither. Most of the damage was produced through sound waves.
The damage output wasn't very high, but it excelled in versatility, having output, control, and HP recovery. This was also the first time Wen Yu had seen HP recovery-related skills on a class other than a Priest.
***
Chapter 172: Asura Invincible!
The Top 100 ranking tournament had already begun, and for once, Wen Yu was a spectator.
In the Top 100 ranking tournament, Wen Yu saw many familiar figures: Emperor, Doomsday, Wang Bin, Morning Star, and Ye Qian, whom he had seen just last night.
Sharp Blade's Black Magician, Chen Quan, and the Weather Mage, Kuang Yu, who had briefly flashed on the regional level leaderboard, also appeared before Wen Yu.
While it wasn't exactly a case of "when one person succeeds, their associates also benefit," Wen Yu felt that since so many people from the Huaxia Region had entered the Top 100, he must have made some contribution.
Everyone's matches were very exciting; Doomsday's Lightning Mage had undergone a third class transfer, and his skill intensity had increased once again.
Lightning was synonymous with damage, and under the bombardment of his skills, few enemies could hold on.
After her third class transfer, Ye Qian's profession leaned more towards defense, and her damage reduction stats had risen to a terrifying level.
After watching all the matches of his acquaintances,
"..."
Wen Yu discovered something wrong.
"Damn, where is Asura?"
Full of anticipation, he sent a message to Asura.
And Asura's reply made Wen Yu's mood brighten by thirty percent today.
"Hehe, I made it into the Top 10."
— — — — — —
October 17, 2052...
Today was Wen Yu's match day. He had gone to bed early last night, hoping to be in a good state today.
The system prompt sounded, and Wen Yu's battle officially began.
He teleported into the battle arena.
Looking around, apart from Asura, everyone else was a famous name on the level leaderboard.
[Pierre]
[Sakurai Natsuki]
[Ivankov Playing Bear]
[Sister Han Xiumin]
[Seraphite]
[Curse]
[Punishing Sword 1]
[Stab Your Chrysanthemum]
Together with Wen Yu, they made up the final Top 10 lineup for this World Tournament.
The eyes of the whole world were cast on this battle. Seeing Asura looking a bit nervous, Wen Yu walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's fine, just show them what you've got."
He looked at the others around him. Through previous videos, Wen Yu clearly knew everyone's profession.
[Pierre] was a warrior; Wen Yu had already experienced his style during the National War.
[Sakurai Natsuki] was an Archer; he was also one of those who had been beaten into scrambling for cover by Wen Yu during the National War.
[Ivankov Playing Bear] from the White Bear Region was also a warrior. He wasn't a Shield Warrior, but he used a sword and a shield as weapons.
Han Xiumin from the Kimchi Country was a "beautiful" woman with a plastic surgery face, and her profession was the same as Wen Yu's: Mage.
And Punishing Sword 1 was another warrior profession. Unlike ordinary swordsmen, his weapon was a heavy sword, just like the Great Demon God.
The battle information soon appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
His first opponent was his former defeated foe, [Seraphite].
And Asura ran into the opponent Wen Yu considered the strongest in this tournament, [Ivankov Playing Bear], right from the start.
Wen Yu only used 1 second to defeat Seraphite; any longer would have been disrespectful to Enlightenment.
Wen Yu watched Asura's match carefully. Asura showed his true colors; after the third class transfer, Asura's profession, Flying Thief, had officially advanced to Bandit.
His burst damage was stronger, but he was still tortured by the opponent's triple damage reflection.
In the end, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
[Pierre] fought against [Punishing Sword 1].
The clash between the two warriors was also fascinating for Wen Yu to watch.
If Pierre's attacks were intangible, then Punishing Sword 1's attacks were healing.
No matter what skill he used, as long as it hit the enemy, he could gain a decent amount of health back.
However, all of this turned to nothing after [Pierre] used his ultimate move.
...
[Curse] relied on his professional characteristics to easily take down [Stab Your Chrysanthemum].
The clash between Japan and Korea ended with the defeat of [Sakurai Natsuki].
Han Xiumin's battle also made Wen Yu's eyes light up. Departing from the traditional mage's staff, her weapon was more like a crystal ball.
At the same time, she seemed to have a skill similar to "divination," capable of predicting the enemy's attack route for a short time.
She suppressed [Sakurai Natsuki] throughout the match and won easily at full health.
It made Wen Yu's eyes light up, but that was all.
Under Four Plates Harmony, all beings were equal, except for Li Jue.
"Unless you can fly too. Then, only under Omen of Destruction are all beings equal."
...
People are most afraid of being talked about.
As soon as the second match list came out, Wen Yu was surprised to find that he was paired against [Sister Han Xiumin], who had just finished torturing [Sakurai Natsuki].
Wen Yu prepared to make all beings a little more equal.
This was also the first time in a true sense that he displayed the terror of a Space Mage in front of everyone.
After activating Space Blessing, a huge meteorite fell from the sky, instantly covering the entire battle area.
It even covered everyone in the preparation area. Due to the rules, those in the preparation area did not take damage.
Han Xiumin had already been evaporated and resurrected from the preparation area. And the many rifts in space were still flickering, softly recounting what had just happened...
Bearing the terrified gazes of everyone off the stage, Wen Yu walked leisurely.
"Acting cool from time to time is really enjoyable. If only Li Jue were here, that would be even more enjoyable. It's a waste not to record a video of this."
...
The terror of Omen of Destruction also left an indelible mark in everyone's hearts.
By this point, no one felt they could take the championship title.
However, the match was still ongoing. Since it was a world-class tournament, they all represented their respective countries and regions, so it was obviously impossible for them to give up without a fight.
Wen Yu didn't hold back, nor did he intend to let them put on a show.
One second, one kill; one second, one kill.
Only in the fifth match, against Asura, did Wen Yu give him enough face.
Soon, the candidates for the top three in the tournament appeared.
There were no surprises; the other two besides Wen Yu were [Pierre] and [Ivankov Playing Bear], who was Invincible with his high damage reflection.
The 4th to 10th place ranking matches, which were held first, also satisfied Wen Yu.
Asura achieved 1 win and 4 losses in the main tournament, and in the ranking match, he defeated Seraphite, who also had 1 win and 4 losses. He finally secured the 8th spot on the World Combat Power Leaderboard!
"Ding! ~"
"World Announcement: The final round of the fun activity will begin in 10 minutes!"
"Who is the number one person in world combat power! Let us wait and see!"
For Huaxia players, they weren't exactly looking forward to it.
If Wen Yu had time to look at the forum now, he would probably be jealous to death.
Apart from the few pinned posts.
"Congratulations to Asura for winning the 8th place on the World Combat Power Leaderboard!"
"Congratulations to Asura for winning 8th place on the World Combat Power Leaderboard!"
"Asura Invincible!"
Yin Sha Guild ascends to the throne again! Asura wins glory for Huaxia!"
...
All congratulations for Asura; this was a treatment Wen Yu had never enjoyed...
He, Asura, actually got to enjoy it!
Twice!
