Gilmore was different from many of the others in True King Hall. He belonged to the academic faction rather than the combat faction. His main profession was actually that of a pharmacist, so throughout his cultivation journey, he had rarely fought anyone. Before joining True King Hall, he had barely even learned any combat divine abilities.
After entering True King Hall, most of his Experience Points had come from the potions he refined. It was also because of one particular potion that he came into a conflict of interest with another pharmacist.
Thus, during his early days in True King Hall, that pharmacist came looking for trouble every few days, sometimes even sending others to cause trouble for him.
In True King City, however, the number of challenges one could reject each day was limited. The other party exploited this loophole, constantly having people challenge him until the system forcibly made him accept.
Of course, once he accepted a challenge, as long as he did not log in, the system would automatically consider it a surrender, sparing him from getting beaten up in the arena. But there was also a limit on how many times one could refuse to log in for forced challenges: no more than a hundred times per year, or one would be expelled from True King Hall.
Left with no other choice, Gilmore could only allow himself to be teleported into the arena. But once he entered it, his opponents gave him no chance to surrender. He would be beaten continuously until the system declared him eliminated.
It was precisely under such pressure that he went to learn some combat divine abilities and God Skills.
